[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Daemo00:
which are the steps needed to flash 20140123 if I had already installed the previous version? only wipe cache and then install zip from sd-card? because it's giving me problems...

and link2SD seems tohave some problems with dex files, after every reboot, it ''optimizes'' lots of apps. But after it's booted if I click on 'clean dalvik cache', it deletes almost 50MB(!!!) of internal memory.. and I'm quite sure they're those dex files..

Not one of the custom roms available for our device supports XBMC. You can install and run the app but it will not register any screen touches. This is the case with all of them.

What gives?

This thread is all about making it easier for those who cannot build Firefox OS 1.2 and 1.3 to get these updates to their phones.

Please post your build links here with pertinent information about the build. I hope I am right in thinking that builds done on 64 bit linux machines can be flashed by those with 32 bit linux machines. Feel free to add to this thread and I will merge the pertinent information and links to the top of the thread.

Hi donjuankey,

would you like 1.2 1.3 or 1.4 builds?

1.2 and 1.3 are the most needed. 1.4 is probably not worth the trouble at this point for most people but hey if you got it, it is welcome.

Do I just flash these in the bootloader? or what's the best way to apply them. So far, when I attempted to flash these, I got errors.

Anyone know how to put these into a .zip file that can be flashed via CWM recovery?

If you want to flash custom builds based on 1.1.0 you need to install ZTE's 1.1.0 firmware first

If you want to flash custom builds based on 1.0.1 you need to install ZTE's 1.0.1 firmware first

If you want to provide custom builds you need to specify which version did you used to build B2G

I want to flash FF OS 1.3. I have currently installed FF OS 1.2 B2G Prerelease. I tried flashing the ROM provided on this link but it stucks on Fox Logo and keeps restarting :(

How can i flash THIS ROM?
[Firefox OS General] archymedes:
no 3g connection lost after a while

Hello, thanks for your work first of all.

I have flashed 1.3 signed .zip via CWM. Everything works great, internet connection via wireless/3G.... etc (i'm writing from SPAIN, if it matters).

But after a while, the 3g connection does not works, only wireless. The H symbol is on in notifications bar and seams it is trying to connect but is not possible. The only way to turn 3G connection back working again is to put plane mode on for a while and try again. Or rebooting the phone.

Some similar experience? I' flashed it twice with complete wipe of my zte open.

Update: Surprisingly it's working 3g connection. To get it working fine:

If you are use wireless connection, to use 3g you have: (1) stop wireless connection, (2) enable plane mode, (3) disable plane mode, (4) enable 3g connection. In this way, there is not loose of connection.

But there is another problem. I'm using this smartphone as daily use and the alarm to get up at the morning. Two consecutive days I'm arriving late to my job ;-p . When I get up at the morning I see there is not any signal, no internet, no signal to call. And the alarm do not work at time. When I reboot the smartphone, the alarm sounds (2hr later). The alarm works fine later, but while i was sleeping, no signal, no connection...and no alarm. I will continue telling more things here
[Firefox OS General] LinuxHolic:
How?!

How did you flashed 1.3 using CWM?!

I can't! :(
[Firefox OS General] archymedes:
Yes, I used CWM

I can't insert urls for the tutorials, sorry , I'm new user and I have not that permission ;-p

So, I can tell you my problem was as very commented in internet:

"The bootloader on the ZTE Open does not allow to flash or boot unsigned code through fastboot protocol. The stock recovery image will verify the signature of update packages and not allow you to flash self-signed updates"

So write this in google, or this:

"ZTE Open FirefoxOS Phone, root and first impressions"

and you will find how to solve it (if it was your problem too). After that, you shoud install any ROM.
[Firefox OS General] LinuxHolic:
My Phone is rooted and also have cwm installed but still can't install any custom ROM(1.3) :(

Stuck on bootloop :D

I currently have 1.2 prerelease :)
[Firefox OS General] archymedes:
First of all, I have to say that I'm only a simple user, I'm only reading around Internet and playing with the zte-open, so be careful ;-p

If you are root, great. I had problems to do that but I could ;-p

To install any custom rom (I installed v1.3), I installed CWM but you say you have it yet, so I don't know.

In my case I found the answer in gnulinux.vagos.es :

"Compilando/instalando la última versión de Firefox OS para el ZTE Open"

And precisely, the sub-section I followed was this:

"Desbloquear el ZTE para instalar "custom rooms" "

Have fun

ZTE Open FFOS 1.3

Hello!
[Firefox OS General] erotavlas:
ZTE open signature verification failed

Hi,

I have followed your guide to install firefox 1.3 on my zte open UK version from ebay. Before I had installed the latest version from zte website 1.1.0 B2 (even if the files is called as 1.1.0 B6). I can reboot the devise in the clockwork recovery mode but when I try to install a new version it says signature verification failed. In the meantime I found a precompiled version of firefox 1.3 called firefox1.3-signed (a unstable version git 24-01-2014 ). I installed it and now I'm not able to come back to the official 1.1.0 B2 version since I get the same message of signature verification failed with standard boot method and clockwork boot method. Any suggestions?

Thank you
[Firefox OS General] linr76:
Hi, in my build (BRANCH=v1.3 VARIANT=user) GPS works.

when i installed HERE Maps, it also said "cannot find your location", i installed GPS Dashboard and it received a fix after about 1 minute (a bad one but still a fix) - after that HERE Maps located me immediately.

i have a UK model and modified the boot.img that came in the 1.1 update UK zip from ZTE.

as far as i can tell everything works (i dont have a sim in it though as i use this only for playing around with builds)

currently i built 1.4 but i did not install it yet as there are many reports of crashing.

for 1.4 and 2.0 (ex-1.5) ZTE needs to supply a new gonk layer, no idea if or when that will happen.

if you absolutely want a supported 1.3 you will have to buy a ZTE Open C...

if you want to build yourself, it is important to update your phone to 1.1 first and make sure to delete your backup-inari folder. it will pull the new /system and all is good.
[Firefox OS General] LinuxHolic:
What does it says in the settings?

"1.3.0.0 Prerelease" ?
[Firefox OS General] linr76:
yup, exactly that.

have not received a conclusive answer to that on the google group for b2g.

it seems all non-partner builds are still prerelease. don't know why though, since 1.3 is stable and released.

btw, i put a SIM in it just today and everything seems to work fine. call quality is surprisingly good.
[Firefox OS General] KUPOinyourWINDOW:
Could you upload it please? :eek: Eager to try it out!!!!
[Firefox OS General] linr76:
I don't have it anymore, since i wanted to build 1.4 and did a build clean. I am building on a virtual machine and dont have too much space to spare. I can redo the build and upload it, but it will take me a few days.

Careful though. I think the working hardware relates to the boot.img. my modified boot.img i made is for UK devices, so if you have a US or HK device it probably wont work.
[Firefox OS General] KUPOinyourWINDOW:
I have a UK ZTE Open and I would honestly love to try it out, even if it means waiting a few days! Would it be stable-ish?
[Firefox OS General] LinuxHolic:

[Firefox OS General] KUPOinyourWINDOW:
No problem, thank you so much man :)

Silly question, I think I know, but how do I install? (just to be safe)
[Firefox OS General] LinuxHolic:
Fastboot

There are 4 .img files. You need to flash them with fastboot :)
[Firefox OS General] KUPOinyourWINDOW:
I just tried that from FFOS 1.0 and the phone was in a restart loop, I've reverted back to 1.0 and I'll try install from 1.2
[Firefox OS General] LinuxHolic:
Yes, you have to be on 1.2 to install this build :)

Thanks ;)
[Firefox OS General] linr76:
my 1.3 user build from today, based on UK 1.1 is here:

removed link - no longer working on this.....

also, has to be flashed with fastboot. includes firmware hash, installed files list and readme, which i post here just to make sure everyone sees before downloading:

this 1.3 build (26th April 2014) is provided without any warranty, use at your own risk. be warned. don't complain. if you don't like it, build your own.

if you brick your phone, tough luck. i take no responsibility. be warned again.

this build is based on the UK model revision 02. i don't know if it will work on another.

build config arguments: BRANCH=v1.3 VARIANT=user

IMPORTANT: your phone has to be updated to 1.1 with the ZTE update zip already, or this wont work. believe me. just update it ok.

if you do not know what i am talking about here, DO NOT FLASH THIS BUILD! you will end up with a phone stuck in bootloader otherwise.

the modified boot.img is for a UK model.

this build is intended to be flashed via fastboot. do not ask me for a CWM zip. i don't use CWM, so i won't provide a flashable zip.

Backup your stuff before flashing, except your data on SD card, everything will be gone. everything.

still reading? then your good to go:

flash this build with fastboot like so:

abd reboot bootloader

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot
[Firefox OS General] KUPOinyourWINDOW:
Hey if you know how maybe you should make this a post in this section of the forum, I'm sure there will be people very eager to try it out too! :good:
[Firefox OS General] linr76:
my build has no developer stuff in it, it is an end-user build (so it's completely clean) and should be 100% stable.

what does not work:

FM Radio works only on speaker, not on headphones.

since i never tried FM radio on the ZTE releases before i cannot say if that works there or not. i would apprechiate feedback.

GPS works. if you cannot get a fix with HERE maps (needs to be installed from Marketplace) try and install GPS Dashboard and wait for a fix.

after that HERE Maps and Google Maps should both work fine.

the build is a lot smoother than the stock 1.1 from ZTE, the touchscreen is more responsive.

i did not change anything in the source, so this build is "vanilla", except the provided boot.img, which has been modified by me to work with 1.3.

this boot.img could also be used for 1.4 builds, but these are unstable right now and ZTE has to provide an updated baseline (gonk hal).

if you wonder where busybox is, try toolbox instead... ;)

the bootanimation is missing. you can however extract it from the zte update (/system/media/bootanimation.zip) and push it to your phone. /system has to be mounted rw for that.

adb shell

toolbox mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock5

if you try it, please leave a thank you and tell me how it went.
[Firefox OS General] KUPOinyourWINDOW:
Alright, thank you! I don't use FM radio either so I can't comment on that but seems stable. Had a few problems with data at first (worked but said no sim card). Reset the phone via settings seems to have fixed it (I have tried rebooting which was the cause of the problem and it hasn't happened since).

What are the exact instructions to change the boot animation? I'd like to do that but have never tried to before. :)
[Firefox OS General] linr76:
interesting, i had no such problem, but i have to admit i flashed it without a sim card. i added the sim later and it was recognized immediately.

to get the bootanimation back, the only command missing is

adb push bootanimation.zip system/media/.

the bootanimation.zip is found in the update zip of ZTE at that exact location ( system/media ), you have to extract it from the package.
[Firefox OS General] KUPOinyourWINDOW:
I keep getting "error: device not found" in terminal on OS X when trying to push the bootanimation.zip :/
[Firefox OS General] linr76:
this would be the complete steps for changing the bootanimation:

extract bootanimation from zte update (/system/media/bootanimation.zip)

mount phones' /system read write

push bootanimation to phone internal memory

adb devices should show your phone (if you flashed my or any other 1.3 build it will show a "full_inari" device)

i do not have an apple, so i can't really help you with that.

once the phone shows up, do the following:

adb shell

toolbox mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock5

mkdir system/media

exit

adb push <path-to-extracted>/bootanimation.zip system/media/.

if you don't plan on rebooting now to see the bootanimation, you will also have to do this: (in order to revert /system back to read only)

adb shell

toolbox mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mtdblock5

exit
[Firefox OS General] KUPOinyourWINDOW:
Worked perfectly, thank you :) love the build too! :good:
[Firefox OS General] linr76:
glad you like it :D

the setup of the build rig is the biggest problem, after that building is a piece of cake.
[Firefox OS General] KUPOinyourWINDOW:
I've tried a few times on Linux... I had one succsesful attempt and it consisted of me booting up the phone into a 1.3 build that was just a white screen haha. I'm still surprised that ZTE aren't providing updates for the phone themselves... The phone is "powerful enough" to run the new updates, they just need to provide a new gonk layer (as far as I understand). It seems very against the point of Firefox OS. :rolleyes:
[Firefox OS General] linr76:
i could not get it working on Ubuntu 13.10 also, so i went back to 12.04.4 LTS. no problems anymore.
[Firefox OS General] erotavlas:
I would like to try you build, but I have installed firefox os 1.3 from and old git. Does it work?

Thank
[Firefox OS General] linr76:
if you have a working 1.3 already, you do not have to flash the boot.img.

otherwise it should work without a problem.

keep in mind that flashing will delete all your apps and data, so backup your contacts and all. the sdcard won't be touched, so it's safe.
[Firefox OS General] linr76:
I am working on OTA and FOTA updates so you can update from my base build via stock recovery update zip in the future. Anyone interested in that?

Also, working on integrating more locales, which ones would you want?

no more development on FFOS for ZTE at the moment
[Firefox OS General] KUPOinyourWINDOW:
I'm interested in that! I suggest you create a new topic though offering your build as a downloading (and stating that you are not responsible if anything goes wrong A.K.A bricked phones) and informing people about your plans to keep them updated.

ZTE Open FFOS 1.0 to 1.1, then 1.1 to 1.2 and brick

Hi . I went from ZTE Open FFOS 1.0 to 1.1, then 1.1 to 1.2 and brick. So I'm trying to go from 1.2 prerelease to the FFOS 1.3 using the fastboot method and it keeps failing when I try to flash the system. I get the following error:

sending 'system' (160714 KB)...

ERROR: usb_write failed with status e00002ed

FAILED (data transfer failure (Invalid argument))

finished. total time: 13.234s

At this stage my ZTE Open (from ebay, I'm in US) is pretty much a brick. :( can anyone help? I desperately need it.

Nevermind... was bricked, I unbricked it :D
[Firefox OS General] linr76:
My boot.img and system.img is for UK phones, i don't know if your US phone will work with them.

Did you unbrick using the zte android package?
[Firefox OS General] TheEternalAbyss:
Oddly enough I just ended up fastbooting in, flashing the img files and it seemed to have worked. I have everything back (bluetooth connectivity, wifi connection, wifi hotspot, data, i can make calls no problem) and it runs a bit smoother too. I was initially concerned about the UK vs US problem, but my ZTE didn't seem to be bothered by it :laugh: Admittedly I also was at a point where it was either let it stay bricked and do nothing or go for the flashing and hope for the best.

If i run into issues I can post them for other users so they can be informed of any potential problems that may arise. Thus far I'm cautiously optimistic :cool:

Thanks again though, for providing the img files. :highfive:
