If you have not previously flashed this bootloader update (version 2.0) to your flatfish device we recommend you do so. If you already have, there is no need to do so again.
This bootloader update fixes the problem of not being able to flash a working OS should your tablet become completely disabled. <strike>It also fixes the ability for Mac users to flash the OS.</strike> The problem of Mac users not being able to flash the OS remains. This update also allows by allowing you to enter fastboot mode using the tablet buttons.
Note: This method is '''Windows only''' but works fine from Windows inside a virtual machine such as VirtualBox, but see on Linux. See the [[#Special_Instructions_for_Virtual_Machines |special instructions]] at the bottom of this page to accomplish this. If your main machine is ''Linux'' then you can update the bootloader on Windows as described below and then follow these [[FirefoxOS/TCP/Flashing_your_device/|these instructions]] to flash Firefox OS. Sorry, but Mac users are currently unable to flash the bootloader from a virtual machine. Flashing the bootloader is not strictly necessary to flash the device's OS.
<br />Also, this will delete all internal user data (such as installed apps).
