Great, thank you! I think the easiest way to get full automation would be a symbolic link on the FP server to “fp2-sibon-latest-blobs.tgz” that always points to the latest version that matches the files needed for the current source.
@jftr: I think moving this to docker would also work. On a system that can build the FP source only ccache and autoconfig2.13 needs to be added.
Yes, but do know how do to this? I know a way, but it requires that web server show to you the list of available files and their timestamp. So you can sort them by date and retrieve the latest. I also asked on IRC in the fairphone channel on freenode and they said that the web server does not allow this.
It’s a pretty normal Nginx server I’m not sure what kind of setup they use. I think it would be possible to do this, that’s all I can say about it. Symbolic links are even allowed in the standard setup, the easiest way would be to allow directory listing for the blob directory and the place a symlink to the latest file there.
server {
(...)
location /here/are/the/blobs {
autoindex on;
}
}
Good idea. It’s really easy to start from my Dockerfile and create an appropriate image. This would be the start:
FROM: jftr/fairphone2-build-env
MAINTAINER: <you>
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y autoconfig2.13
ENV USE_CCACHE=1
CMD <whatever-needs-to-be-done-to-download-configure-ccache-and-compile>
Just add “ccache” to your apt-get install list above and it’s pretty much done.
Main repo is here:
git clone git://github.com/mozilla-b2g/B2G.git && cd B2G
CMD ./config.sh fairphone2 && ./build.sh -j8
Currently there is a little glitch in the Bluetooth area of B2G (extern tHCI_IF hci_h4_func_table;). And the way I fixed it is brutal so I wait until someone fixes it and it compiles cleanly again.
./flash.sh will flash the device in the end.
Does anybody know how to calculate the blob-shasums code for the sibon-2.0.1 blob?
I found that file in the B2G/device/fairphone_devices/FP2 folder after changing the link in download-blobs.sh.
Im wondering if the repo wold already update to the latest blobs after that changes…

PS: @erotavlas, I didn’t hear from Fairphone support since 7 days now… They seam to be in troubles. 
My Phone is still not booting… althroug i managed to get in to fastboot sometimes…
Yes, in order to compute the shasum under linux you have to type:
shasum file
Here two of the pull requests are for updated blob https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/device-fairphone2/pulls
I do not know about Fairphone support.
Hi
i loaded the newest repo and it seams to be in there already…
But after comming over my bricked phone i loades 2.6 again and now i had SIM ANT connection but no data and also no WIFI.
2.6 is still a prerelease and who knows if its ever gone be released… but i wold like to try the latest 2.5 version as well. Does anybody know how to change the repo to get the latest stable version?
I don’t understand those git commands…
Regards, Novski
Hi,
I believed that Firefox OS was also available in the version 2.5 for Fairphone 2 whereas I checked here https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/device-fairphone2 and it is available only the master version a.k.a. 2.6.
Makes sense. I think the config configures the git wrapper by pulling the manifest “fairphone2.xml”. This does not exists in the branch “v2.5”.
./repo init -u git://github.com/mozilla-b2g/b2g-manifest -b v2.5 -m fairphone2.xml
But maybe something ugly like (repo forall -c) (different tags are used?)
git checkout tags/B2G_2_5_20160125_MERGEDA
git checkout tags/B2G_2_5_20160125_MERGEDAY
will work for the other parts of the code and the stuff will still compile? No clue. Best is to ask mozilla and later to report here.
But remember: It just an older beta … maybe not really worth all the work.
im looking for a programer who knows a litle about firefox os.
I don’t know anything, but for me it’s hard to understand your question. Maybe it’s best to collect more information first, people will need to know more details.
What do you want to do on what kind of system? What have you tried before? What kind of behavior do you expect? What does the phone do instead?
For me it sounds like you have issues connecting your phone to the Internet due to Wifi/LTE issues. But maybe I misunderstand you.
Can you check if the wlan framework is able to search for access points? Can you select them?
Something like:
$ adb logcat
$ adb logcat | grep -i Wifi
Should be enough to get some kind of info. Use the “pure” logcat to find out how Wifi debug messages are prefixed in Firefox OS and use grep to filter them.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Debugging/On-device_console_logging
Update: Also the bin blobs are stripped, as expected.
ok, i now tryed that. It seams that there are many errors but none coming from wifi.
Maybe its better to solve other errors first. Like the sdcard that seams to generate errors every third second…
but how can i no go on an try to take affect?
Regards, Novski
It’s best to break it down into smaller parts.
I will add examples, maybe that makes it easier to read:
Get Bugzilla@Mozilla account. See if someone else filled a similar bug before … if not … fill your own 
It’s best to not use your normal mail address for this.

Hi,
I received my new Fairphone 2 a few days ago. Did somebody here manage to build the 2.5 version of Firefox OS?
I flashed the 2.6 version but wifi and SIM ANT did not work.
Regards, sebastku
I think it would be best to report those bugs to the project, see the information above. But keep in mind that the Firefox OS development is somehow dead right now, even if Mozilla PR would never put it that way. But getting the Wifi up & running again should be possible.
Hi @sebastku
Its nice to hear that other people try to do the same with same results! So its not my device that is bugy or so.
What i don’t know is why some guy from mozilla told me that some other guy has it running… post 11 here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1244519
What i can say is that that bug is already reported but the guy who first started to debug with me seams to be gone or not willing to spend more time…
He doesn’t reply anymore…
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1248718
Maybe you can start over with a new bugfile?
or we try to debug it together… 
The problem is, im no programer and have to learn how to debut it from scrach wich im willing to do if someone can guide me on that specific device and OS…
What about you?
Regards, Novski
Ah, PS: @fp1_wo_sw_updates already checked the git repo and found that v.2.5 does not contain the device FP2 in this post a bit further up… ✏ B2G beta (formerly Firefox OS)
the note he made there that its only an older beta made me stick to v2.6. We cold try to add the device info from 2.6 to the v2.5. I looked in to that part a bit earlier and had to file a but for that as well. Its the linked bugnumber: 1244519
Hi @novski,
You are right, it would be better to get the 2.6 working than trying to get an old beta of 2.5. I’m not a developer too, but I have some experience with coding. Unfortunately this is my first experience with Android/Firefox OS. We should try to debug the problem and write a new bugfile.
@fp1_wo_sw_updates I would not give up Firefox OS that fast, there are some people in the community that try to keep it alive, so maybe we can find a solution together with Mozilla that keeps the development going: https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/firefoxos_is_not_dead
sebastku
yes i read about that but i don’t realy understand how it is organized.
Are you going to fill out a bugreport?
Don’t get me wrong. But they pulled the people the really knew about Gecko and stuff from the project. So I’m not so sure how the future development (overall plan that integrates with other Mozilla projects development) will look like, but I guess we will see.
Fixing Wifi would be a first step
Does the file “WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin” exist on the phone/image? The bin blobs are the same in both releases, btw., they just fixed the location they get copied to. But I see the file operations open/denied in the log. Maybe the wifi firmware does not get loaded?
wcnss: NV download (...)
19.727574] type=1400 audit(1456207710.139:54): avc: denied { read } for pid=1081 comm=“ueventd” name=“WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin” dev=“mmcblk0p14”
19.751711] type=1400 audit(1456207710.139:55): avc: denied { open } for pid=1081 comm=“ueventd” name=“WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin” dev=“mmcblk0p14”
On a FP2/bin blobs it is normally located here:
system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin vendor/qcom/opensource/wlan/prima/firmware_bin/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin
I think the Firefox OS build places them here as well
system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin persist/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin
in the FxOS image.
Maybe related: en:users:drivers:wcn36xx [Linux Wireless]
It would be nice if the people with working Wifi on the FP2 could post the nv firmware md5 sum, their log, and the file permissions.
