I got a Flame phone and wanted to update it to 2.0 nightly so I could

Flame home page, but someone has since added instructions. Thanks to
whoever did that!

One issue with the instructions, though, at least on OS X - they only
really work if both flash steps are run as root (sudo). Flashing the
base doesn't require root, but the flash to 2.0 nightly requires the adb
daemon to be running as root, and if you didn't flash the base as root
adb will not be running as root. You'll need to do "adb kill-server",
which most people won't know how to do. If you didn't run the base flash
as root, and you figured out how to kill the adb server, you then need
to run the second flash as root to get adb to start as root. We should
either recommend that people run the flash commands as root (prefix
"sudo"), or explain how to get adb running as root first.
Other than this, the page's information is much better than before.
Still could be better organized, though.
Chris Mills manages this page, with input from me and other Flame team
folks.
I'm glad it's an improvement. I've copied Chris on this in the hopes
that he can find a way to incorporate the Mac OS X note into the
instructions -- assuming that's as expected and not a bug for us to fix.
Thanks for the great feedback, Josh.
