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.

How to connect ZTE Open C with Firefox OS 1.3 to a calDAV server of Synology DSM 5.1?
Hi,
I am running Firefox OS 1.3 on a ZTE Open C. I am trying to connect the calendar of the phone to a calDAV server of a NAS of Synology running DSM 5.1 (newest release).
I go into the calendar app of the phone and configure the calDAV account:
username: testuser
password: *******
URL: https://192.168.1.251:5006/testcalendar
The calendar does not connect and the error message the phone shows is:
wrong login and/or password
Some background information:
1. I am successfully connecting to this calendar from a Windows 8.1 PC (Firefox Lightning), an Apple iPAD (Apple Calendar), and a Linux notebook (Firefox Lightning). So the URL, the login and the calendar work ok.
2. I am successfully connecting with the firefox browser of the phone using https to the mangagement interface (port 7001) of the NAS (the certificate is flagged as "untrusted" and a permanent exception has been made). So login with https works ok in principle.
3. I get the same error message "wrong login and/or password" under DSM 5.0. So it is not a problem of the version of the Synology DSM calDAV server
4. I get the same error "wrong login and/or password) with an unsecure connection using http and the respective URL: http://192.168.1.251:5005/testcalendar (beware of the changed port number using http). So it is not a problem of the ssl-connection.
I have connected the phone to the linux machine and generated the log by running:
sudo adb logcat -v time > calendar.log
Here is are the results of the log (I have made 1 unsuccessful attempt to connect to the calDAV server on 11-16 14:26 and 2 unsuccessful attempts on 11-16 14:27. I am not sure for which message to look for so I just have the sections that contain most probably the bug (If required I can of course provide the full log or even re-test and re-log). my guess for the bug is:
11-16 14:26:34.448 D/wpa_supplicant( 2965): RX ctrl_iface - hexdump(len=11): 53 49 47 4e 41 4c 5f 50 4f 4c 4c

...Hi Ralph,
thanks a lot for the quick response. This is very appreciated! I will try to equally give you all the information required as quickly as possible.
1. CalDAV Log on Synology:
I have tested the connection between the calDAV client on ZTE Open C (Firefox OS 1.3) and the calDAV server on Synology (DSM 5.1) again and I get the same bug "wrong login and/or password". The logs on the Synology NAS show the following (Synology NAS: Control Panel-> File Services -> webDAV -> Advanced Settings -> View Logs -> Select: Connection)
User [testuser] from [192.168.1.6] failed to login in via [WebDAV] due to authorization failure
2. Seperate Folder/Files for calendar on Synolgoy
I have setup the CalDAV files on Synology NASin a dedicated folder. The calendar ist in https://192.168.1.251:5006/dir_PersonalCalendars/testcalendar . Unfortunately the error on the ZTE Open C is the same as before: "wrong login and/or password" .
Interesting is, that if I mis-type the folder or the calendar name, then I get on the ZTE Open C the error: "Something is wrong. Try again later".
This suggests that the folder and files are well recognized when loggin in.
Hope that helps you to continue. If you need something more, than please let me know.
Thanks,

Has anyone successfully used the ZTE Open C with an AT&T microcell?
I have a ZTE Open C and have had no issues with initial setup w/AT&T. However, like most newer phones the voice signal reception is very weak.
I've had an AT&T Microcell before, but I don't have one now. For those that are unaware, the microcell allows 3G phones to connect via a 3G signal, but the call is routed through a home broadband internet connection.
Has anyone successfully used a ZTE Open C w/Firefox OS AND used an AT&T microcell? If yes, did you need to do anything special on the phone or with Firefox OS.I don't use a ZTE Open C, however, I do have a ZTE Open (Original) on AT&T and so I'll see if I can help ;D
I know someone who has a Microcell, and I have used it myself a few times. However, the microcell only works if you have entered in your phone number into settings of the Microcell.
Check the Microcell settings.
Check the data connection settings on your FxOS device
Make sure your Microcell is properly connected to WiFi
and check the AT&T support page for more info
For a while, it actually hasn't actually worked for me. I apologize if this doesn't solve your problem :D -
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.
Geeksphone has a set of instructions [http://downloads.geeksphone.com/drivers/Manual_flash_geeksphone-eng.txt here], provided I do NOT know what is inside the .zip. -
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:
https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/01/upgrading-your-zte-open-to-firefox-1-1-or-1-2-fastboot-enabled/comment-page-1/#comments
Any help is greatly appreciated!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. :) -
've just upgraded to latest version of Firefox 4 and my Mac is only OSX.10.4.11 and now it won't open. How do I downgrade and get old Firefox back. Don't want to lose all my bookmarks. Why was I able to install in the first place. Very frustrated!!
You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com -
i can not launch browser toget version info or anything else, when it upgraded to newest version it stopped working-i've tried launching in Safe Mode and have tried all icons
You can save a copy of your passwords file, but I don't think you can open it without Firefox.
Your passwords file is in your profile folder. You might want to make a backup copy of the whole folder. Info on locating the folder: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles Profiles | How to | Firefox Help].
You may want to try reinstalling Firefox 3.6. You can download the installer from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older -
Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine. This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message. In fact, in the same screen I can often open an email from the same sender with email intact. This is weird. Sometimes I close the page and open a new page. Sometimes that works and sometimes it does not. It is a very annoying thing.
Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

Why does my ZTE open c Firefox OS smart phone forget the wlan settings and does not ring the alarm?
Sometimes it is even enough to go outside to the waste bin to let my smartphone forget the settings for the wireless lan. When I return I have to enter the - not so short - code from my wlan router again. After that the internet connection is running as it should.
Additionally the alarm clock does not work, I can set alarms as I like, setting the volume to the max and activate also the vibration alarm but nothing happens when the preset time is arrived, even when the alarm clock is shown on the screen the whole time. Is my phone broken? Or is it a bug in my Firefox OS installation?
Where does Firefox OS store these values for wlan connection and alarm times? Is there an internal database that is maybe corrupted?Hi Markus,
I understand that you're having issues with the Wi-Fi connection and the alarm clock in your ZTE Open C device.
The alarm clock issue appears to be similar to what has been reported by other users and is being tracked on [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1052245 bug 1052245].
Do you have more information regarding the alarm clock issues that you encounter? This may be very helpful to our engineering teams investigating. Please be aware that ZTE is the manufacturer of your device, and only they are able to release an update.
The wifi issue may be related to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=923324 bug 923324].
Please reply to this message with the following information:
* What is the OS version and Build ID found in the Device Information page? Please visit [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-find-what-version-firefox-os-i-have this link] if you need help finding the Build ID of your phone.
* Please provide the exact steps to reproduce the issue you are encountering.

I installed Android on my ZTE Open C and went back to Firefox and my 3G won't work. (Optus)
Hello. I'm from Australia and I recently purchased a ZTE Open C. I wanted to try Android on it and I installed it to do exactly that. I went back to Firefox OS to discover my 3G won't work, even though it did with the stock version of Firefox. I'm on the Optus network. I have a feeling it has something to do with my APN settings but I can't fix it.
Hi AnthonyDickens,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with your ZTE Open C after re-flashing it with a Firefox OS image.
Can you please list the exact steps or instructions you used to perform the porting of your device from Firefox OS to Android, and then back to Firefox OS? Please provide a link to the image files you used as well.
In the meantime, you may attempt the following APN settings listed on the Optus support site:

Please let us know if this solves your issue, or if you have any other question about your Firefox OS device.

How to install Firefox OS on ZTE Open C?
I've purchased ZTE Open C on Ebay, and it has arrived today, but it's got Android OS instead of Firefox one - how can I install FF OS on it?
Another thing is that in settings it says the model of my phone is Kis 3 and not Open C - is this correct?
Thanks for any help.Hi bazujewicz,
It seems that the Ebay seller may have sent you the wrong item. You should contact the seller to inquire about an exchange to the correct cell phone device.
This link shows how to manually update and flash a ZTE Open C:
* [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/ZTE_OPEN_C#.22Manual.22_updates Manually Update a ZTE Open C]
However - since your phone may be a different model, it could end up bricking and voiding warranty on your device.
Please contact the seller and the appropriate Ebay channels for further support.

I've recently upgraded to FireFox 22. Originally, a legacy XBAP I use always opened correctly in FireFox and had no problems displaying or running. As of 22, it won't even attempt to download the application, let alone try and display it.
I have the windows Presentation Foundation 3.5.30729.1 installed, which is the same version I have been using in older versions.
Can anyone shed some light on any changes that would have effected this?Hi, I have a similar problem. I did attempt the *.rdf fix on a test system, but it didn't work (em:maxVersion was already 22).
We got about inflow of phone calls from our clients experiencing the problem mentioned above from the 2nd of July onwards... and more are phoning in.
All the complaints come from clients (+- 10 so far and rising in number) using Firefox v22 (we have checked), and all of them have said that it was working previously.
We downgraded one of the clients to an older version of Firefox, and it worked again. So far we are telling our clients to downgrade until a fix comes out, or use Internet Explorer (*blush*) -
I have PowerBook G4, running 10.5.8. Went to upgrade and says OS too old. I went back to older version of foxfire. Now I have a circle with a line through it and when I try to open it I get,You cannot open the application “Firefox” because it is not supported on this architecture. Thanks for the help.
Firefox 3.6.x is the last available from Mozilla for PPC Macs. <br />
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />
