I managed to unbrick my ZTE Open C today, thanks to updated instructions here (thanks!):
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/ZTE_OPEN_C The root problem was exactly what's described in the attached bug: There's a bug in the firmware that will crash if you send it an image file bigger than about 256MB, so you need to build a stripped-down system.img with just enough stuff to let the recovery installer validate the update.zip file from the sdcard, but small enough to be uploaded through fastboot. (If anyone wants the hacked-up system.img I used, email me privately.) However, the developer page claims you still need Windows to run the "upgrade tool" that would allow me to install FFOS 1.4. I don't have Windows and probably never will. Is there any hope for people like me? Is some kind of upgrade tool "coming soon"? How soon? Or will this OS always be Windows-only, and I should give up? I can be trusted with low-level command-line tools -- try me! (Without meaning to sound *too* bitter, I definitely would not have purchased a Firefox phone if I knew it required Windows. That, to me, is the *opposite* of "open". Linux users are not *all* bad!) _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
