Today I'm going to quickly show you how to flash a new image of Firefox OS
onto a Flame reference device. All you have to do is connect your Flame reference
device via USB to the computer and make sure that ADB debugging is installed.
You do that in the settings and you make sure that ADB
is there. So I scroll down to my developer menu
and in the developer menu it should say that ADB and Devtools are enabled
and that way the computer can talk to the phone and put a new image on there.
On the computer you go to command line and you download one of our images that we
provide you.
Once you've done that you will have a ZIP file with a lots and lots of files in
there.
The most important thing in there is the "flash.sh"
script that will run all the flash processes for you. So first thing you want
to do
when you want to flash the device is make sure it's available. So go to the command line
and you type in "adb"
and "adb devices" and that way you will see if the phone shows up.
In this case 8677d043 is this device
so we can go on with the flashing. All we have to do is go into the flash tools
folder
and then run the script in there that says flash.sh.
Once that's happening the daemon starts running
and the image gets flashed to the device. The device should reboot
once it has been found and a the image gets uploaded to it. You restart the device
and you got a new version of Firefox OS going.
