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.
