I have been following the instructions mentioned in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/Flame for getting the task done.

The following things have been done and are working:

  1. Remote debugging enabled and Screen lock disabled.
  2. The adb-tools and fastboot installed. Tried both the Ubuntu as well as the Android official way.
  3. The adb devices is displaying my device.
  4. The .zip file has been download and extracted.
  5. Running the ./flash.sh script reboots my device then it just remains stuck at ThunderSoft logo.

Reading the ./flash.sh file, it seems the last two line are to one which remain displayed on my terminal.

adb kill-server
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices

echo "Partition table..."
fastboot flash partition gpt_both0.bin

Please help!

  • Try a `fastboot erase cache`. Also if you're in fastboot mode, try if you can only flash the commands under 'Flash apps' in flash.sh and see if that does succeed. – Jan Jongboom Oct 13 '14 at 08:15
  • I can't get any listing when I run `fastboot devices`. When will that display? `adb devices` also shows – M. Ahmad Zafar Oct 13 '14 at 10:18
  • You have to get the phone into fastboot mode. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/Flame 'Fastboot mode' header. – Jan Jongboom Oct 13 '14 at 11:13
  • Same when I attempt the steps mentioned here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/Flame#Fastboot_mode. The device keeps rebooting (after displaying the logo) or hangs with "ThunderSoft" – M. Ahmad Zafar Oct 13 '14 at 12:04
  • As said earlier, the only thing I can do is enter in System recovery with options including *apply update from ADB* and *apply update from sdcard* – M. Ahmad Zafar Oct 13 '14 at 12:09
  • If you can go into ADB you can also get into fastboot. See also https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.b2g/s1mHS_haWtE – Jan Jongboom Oct 13 '14 at 13:09
  • Tried all these options. Problem I face is that when these instructions are followed (whether Power+VolDown or `adb reboot bootloader`) my mobile boots displaying the ThunderSoft logo and stays that way for indefinite time. – M. Ahmad Zafar Oct 13 '14 at 13:31

I was finally able to flash the device. An important point was Some versions of the flame bootlaoder just show the thundersoft logo when in fastboot mode which I was missing. The steps I followed:

  1. Unplug the USB Cable.
  2. Power off the Phone.
  3. Pull battery for 10 Seconds and then place it back.
  4. Press and Hold Volume Down.
  5. Press and Hold Power (while still holding the Volume Down)
  6. Once you see a logo, you should be in fastboot mode
  7. Replug USB cable in.
  8. Issue sudo fastboot devices command to verify.

This help was actually provided by Dave Hylands and the remaining is what is mentioned in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/Flame

All fastboot were run using sudo command.

You probably used the wrong image when flashing your phone. you might have flashed the flame gaia/gecko instead of flame-kk.

Try:

fastboot kill-server
sudo fastboot start-server
fastboot devices

It'll show your device.
