###The development of B2G is discontinued But an old working image still exists. Find out how to install it here: [image] B2G/FirefoxOS on FP2 (discontinued) The Products Hello ! I dig a deserted topic , and I discovered that, although the development of Boot2…

Homebrew is a tool from the Mac World. It typically knows exactly where to install programs, @Stefan s guess is wrong here. Homebrew is an easy way to install the latest android platform tools, e.g. adb and fastboot. If you use a recent Linux desktop, like Ubuntu, you can also install those program…

[image] paulakreuzer: $brew install android-platform-tools Remove the dollar from the command. Explanation : $brew is now a variable, that is probably not defined in your shell., e.g. empty. So you where actually calling the program ‘install’, therefore the explanation from @Stefan is corr…

I managed to install ADB another way by now, but now I’m stuck with the very next step. I give up. I don’t think it makes a lot of sense to flash a beta OS on a 500€ phone if you have never used the terminal before and need help with every single step… :wink: If someone else however successfully f…

Hi Paul, I have just uploaded an updated version of the package that should contains all the necessary in order to flash the phone. I just copied the folder structure of the github of Firefox OS with the necessary scripts and files. Unfortunately, I cannot test it since I do not have a Fairphone 2 …

We (Mozilla) have a workaround for that that we call “blob free builds”. The way it works is that the build doesn’t include any of the non-redistributable bits, but we provide a Firefox Addon (almost ready for public use, follow progress at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1166276 ) that …
