Presumably, the 'flash.sh' script runs 3 or 4 commands that involve fastboot; and it shouldn't be necessary for beta testers (which is what anyone who purchased a ZTE Open is), to install the full build environment just to use fastboot for flashing images to their device.
As I fall within the category of people who don't have the resources for a full build environment, I have downloaded compiled images from a fellow ZTE owner who was kind enough to compile Firefox OS from source. Now that I have these .img files, I would like to know how to use fastboot to install them onto my device. Any instructions for using fastboot would be greatly appreciated. jezra On Tue, 15 Oct 2013 11:03:59 -0700 "平田修樹 (Naoki Hirata)" <[email protected]> wrote: > The script flash.sh in the main repository should flash all the parts > including the boot.img. > ie: <project folder>/flash.sh > > On 10/15/13 11:03 AM, jezra wrote: > > Thank you for the instructions for putting the ZTE Open into > > fastboot mode.
