I can't upgrade my ZTE Open to 1.2 or 1.1 using their instructions.

I recently bought a ZTE Open off of eBay in the US. I'm currently working on building an app for the phone.
I need to upgrade to 1.2 to use the Firefox emulator that comes with FF nightlies now and test out this app on a real device. It's currently running OPEN_US_DEV_FFOS_V1.0.0B01
I've tried the Fastboot method, but... *sigh* this is one of the broken versions so that's out. The recommendation from Mozilla is to upgrade via the SD method with the image provided by ZTE on their site.
I went out and bought an SD card to do this (!) and have tried all of the .zip files and followed the instructions from ZTE (and the Mozilla Hacks blog). I've tried a ton of different things and read all the comments... but...
Frustratingly, it keeps saying "E:Signature verification failed" and won't flash when using the SD card installation in the recovery menu thingy. The thing is... the files are fine! I can select it... I'm 99% sure I'm not being an idiot. I've tried the 1.2 images as well. Nothing will verify! Nothing! :(
The phone boots up fine afterwards and I come back and try and do more googling.
Help! All I want to do is support this new OS, but... man, I've put about 5 hours of time into this so far... just the phone!

Hi,
Sorry for the delayed reply. Thanks for using and supporting Firefox OS with your new app!
I found a similar thread on stackoverflow related to the fastboot not working that suggested to do '''adb devices''' and '''adb reboot bootloader''' before using any of the fastboot functions. Not sure if that will help you if you have one of the first ZTE Opens though.
I don't think you are alone in this signature verification failed issue at all, do not feel like an idiot, we have asked ZTE to loosen the keys on the files because of this problem for several months (I will ping my contact on our side about this again to see about it).
Here is the stackoverflow in case it is helpful:

  • How can I manually upgrade a ZTE Open C to 2.1?

    I have a ZTE Open C with 1.3, I would like to upgrade to 2.1 to play around. Has someone done it? Can I just install the build that I want to try (this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/firefox-os/general/zte-c-2-1-modui-t2853315) by entering recovery mode and selecting the proper .zip file in the SD card or do I have to do something before? if I understand correctly I have to root the phone before, would this upgrade do it? -> http://www.ztedevices.com/support/smart_phone/46d40c52-bed4-4cdc-9df9-01719cdf0a70.html?type=software

    It is up to you if you want to risk flashing your device where the build is not directly from ZTE. There is the possibility of bricking your device as well. Please proceed at your own risk.

  • How can I upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion if I'm still using Tiger 10.4.11?

    I have an old (5 years +/-) MacBook that is still running on 10.4.11. I want to upgrade to a better OS but I think I need to increase the memory in the computer to be able to upgrade. Is this true? If so, how do I go about it?
    Thanks!!

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

  • Can I upgrade to OS 10.5 with this computer and still use OS 9 and more?

    I am NO computer expert, so, I'm wondering if:
    1. Can I upgrade to OS 10.5 (currently using OS 10.3.9) with G4 computer using 450 MHz processor?
    2. Can I still use my old programs (ie Claris 4.0) that switch over to the OS 9 system?
    3. Will this upgrade my Safari so it doesn't quit when I try to make a simple reservation on the Holiday Inn website?
    Or, is this just too old and obsolete and I need to get a new computer? I do not do complicated projects with lots of graphics. So far, I'm not having any trouble using my Kodak EasyShare digital camera with the computer. It's just that Safari that gives me trouble.
    Any advice (upgrade vs new) will be appreciated.

    Hi, lwbusdrvr. Leopard requires at least an 867MHz G4 processor. Yours is barely half that fast. Tiger would run on your computer, and it supports Classic and the current version of Safari.
    But the simplest thing for you to do would be to download the free Camino 1.6.4 or Firefox 2.0.0.17 and use it instead of Safari, without needing to upgrade your OS at all. For links to downloads for each, see my post here.

  • Can I upgrade CS3 to open Raw from Rebel T4i?

    Hello,
    I have CS3 Photoshop and Bridge and I just bought a Canon T4i.  I can't open my CR2 files.  I've searched the forums and it looks like you need Raw 7.1 but I don't think that upgrade works with CS3.  Any suggestions on how I can still use CS3 and open my files?
    Thanks

    If your camera is supported in a later version of Camera Raw that is not compatible with your version of Photoshop, then you can use the latest DNG converter (free download from Adobe) to create digital negative copies of your images.  These will contain all the raw image data.  The only disadvantage is that you won't have access to the vastly improved to raw processing that is available in the newer versions.

  • How can i get iPhoto to open if it says i need to use a new version?

    When I try to open IPhoto it says "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto." I have been through the discussion lists and have seen other people having the same issues. They were told to dump the preferences file, and to rebuild a new library. Neither of these seem to work for me. Can anybody help?

  • CAN I UPGRADE MY VIDEO CARD ON MY LAPTOP? I'M USING HP PAVILION DV4-1125NR

    I'M PLANNING TO UPGRADE MY LAPTOP SINCE MANY SOFTWARE GAMES REQUIRES HIGHER VIDEO CARD. IS IT POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE MY VIDEO CARD? I'M USING HP PAVILION DV4-1125NR.

    Not possible Unfortunately...all cards nowadays are built in only

    but laptop manufacturers found it more "profitable" to make it not, this way the user will have to buy a new laptop every few years.

  • I have a serial number for Acrobat Pro 8 that won't work. I can't upgrade to Pro 11, so I am shut out of using what I paid for?

    I was just given a "new" serial number for my Acrobat Pro 8, but it is the same number as the one I got from the
    Adobe site-- and does not work. How can I use a program I paid for without buying Pro 11 brand new?

    What message do you get, exactly? (Please don't include the serial itself).
    Is this using the original CD that came with the Acrobat 8 product?
    Does it say anything about a "qualifying product"?

  • How do I upgrade to latest 1.2 build for ZTE Open?

    I saw on this thread:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/992324?esab=a&s=zte+open+1.2&r=0&as=s
    it was being discussed that if you updated to 1.2 pre-release, you ran into a potential major issue which is the notification tray does not slide down. I, unfortunately have run into this problem. Is there anyone who can provide steps on how to pull the latest build from git and compile it so I can fix this? I'm afraid my technical expertise has hit a wall in this case.
    I have the ZTE Open from Ebay, MacOSX 10.9.2
    I installed 1.2 through my terminal using this tutorial:

    Hi, thanks for the response. Yea, I ended up finding a compiled FFOS 1.3 on xda-forums and installed in. So at least the phone pretty much works again and it's 99% there.
    Thanks again for the response and this thread can be closed/resolved now. :)

    Yes for both iPhone and iPad 2.
    You can get Leopard from Amazon.

  • Can notifications be kept permanently open

    can notifications be kept permanently open in 10.10.3

    If you mean using the mail app - yes it can be kept open. You do not have the multiple open windows feature in iOS like on a computer so you still have to navigate back to the mail app via double tapping the home button or by swiping to switch apps if using multitasking gestures.

  • Can we upgrade any solution by solution manager?

    hi
    can we upgrade any solution , that may be xi ,mi , bi  by using solution manager?
    thanks

    Hi Ashley
    - it comes with content which simplifies the upgrade, or which allows you to create own documentation, and as such it is higly recommended.
    - following the Master Guide for SAP ERP 6.0: "Each SAP ERP (or SAP NetWeaver) system landscape >must< be assigned to an installation of the SAP Solution Manager. SAP Solution Manager is the required platform to efficiently support the implementation and operation of your SAP application. As a prerequisite for support, SAP requires remote access to the SAP Solution Manager that hosts the affected system landscape."

    I have an early 2008 macbook and want to upgrade the os. Can I upgrade to snow lepard?

    Last night I posted: I have an early 2008 macbook and want to upgrade the os. Can I upgrade to snow leopard?
    Today I started the install using a OSX 10.6.4 install dvd.  It would not install on my Macbook. The general requirements were met, the Macbook booted to the dvd but I received the meesage that I could not install the new OS. So, new question: Any advice on where to get the last release of 10.5 Leopard (> 10.5.2)? Also, does anyone know why Snow Leopard won't work? Is Leopard as far as I can go on this machine?

  • Upgrading ZTE Open C to Firefox OS 2.2?

    Hi,
    On the official upgrade instructions on the dev wiki, it's fairly simple to upgrade to FXOS 2.1. However, because the build system is now based on Android KitKat, I can't install the latest images on my phone, as it just bricks it and I need to wipe it and start again. Is there any way to upgrade, or am I stuck?
    Also, what's the difference between "flame" and "flame-eng"?
    Thanks.

    Hi megaminxwin,
    Currently the ZTE Open C does not have that version available and may brick the device if you flash another build onto the Zte Open C device. However to recover the os it is possible to flash again. Please see the instructions on this page: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/ZTE_OPEN_C]
    If you have any other questions we are happy to help.
