An over the air system update was sent out over the weekend for open market
ZTE Open devices (the orange ones sold on eBay) which appears to turn on
fastboot.

With fastboot enabled, is there now a simple way for potential contributors
who do not work for Mozilla or one of Mozilla's partners to root their
device and flash their own builds, to use them for Firefox OS development?
How would they go about building or acquiring a build, and what are the
steps necessary to flash it onto a device?

With the Keon and Peak out of stock it's currently very difficult for
contributors to flash their own build to a device available on the open
market. The only other option appears to be the Nexus4 which is not yet
well supported, is very different to the commercial devices we're launching
and may soon be discontinued.
