Hi all,

As a way of introduction (first post), my name is Paul and I am from South Africa.

Formalities aside, I have managed to install FirefoxOS onto an old S2 now, but would like to point out a few things that may help others at a later stage.

1. Heimdall - Building latest from source produces errors. Rather use the 64bit packaged version from Ubuntu 14.04 repos. i.e. Don't use heimdall-flash:i386

2. flash.sh - You need to change all instances of factoryfs to uppercase FACTORYFS, as well as kernel to KERNEL (check your pit output to confirm)

3. The Siyah-s2 Recovery ROM works best. CWM works as well, but there are a few issues.

4. Flashing using flash.sh will get the base OS working OK, but gaia seems busted out the box. A make reset-gaia PRODUCTION=1 will succeed subsequently.

I am now at this point, so I will hopefully be able to update again soon. Time now to write some apps!

Thanks for a really great project!

-- Paul
