well, i did that for our forum, also because there is no site out there that 
actually describes all the steps necessary.

interest in the device is low, and since it still looks like both Mozilla and 
also ZTE have abandoned it there is not much point in trying to get 1.4 or 2.0 
working (1.4 could probably work, 2.0 pretty sure not)
since even with 1.3 the updates were disabled, you'd have to build 
regularly/nightly yourself and create ota zips to update your phone. too much 
work if you ask me.
probably best is to stay on the supported 1.1 - sucks, but is the only real 
solution right now.

as long as neither ZTE nor Mozilla is going to address this, that will most 
probably be a DOA for me.
guess they don't really want people to test and use their stuff, i'm ok with 
that.
Unfortunately it is the same story like with Android all over again, so might 
as well stick with Google then (where you also actually get decent phones for 
the same money....)

i so wished for this to be a success, but the way this is handled right now, 
its going to fail for sure.
come on, 1.1 is barely usable, even for a "normal" user.
this project right now probably lives mostly from nerds and dev's and both 
groups are ignored completely. 

i am not jumping ship, i am just leaning back and hope for a change of mind.
sure i wont buy a new device now. i'll think about it if
- Mozilla gets their act together and update policies are clear.
- phones come out which are not a joke hardware wise (we dont live in 2005 
anymore)
- a fully supported (including hardware bits) developer phone. no, the Flame 
aint that.

if you want to do FOSS, do it right.
