This bootloader update fixes the problem of not being able to flash a working OS should your tablet become completely disabled by allowing you to enter fastboot mode using the tablet buttons.
Note: This method is '''Windows only''' but works from Windows inside a virtual machine such as VirtualBox 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 (or Mac) as described below and then follow these [[FirefoxOS/TCP/Flashing_your_device/|these instructions]] to flash Firefox OS.
'''Linux''' users then you can update the bootloader on Windows (or Mac ) as described below and then follow these [[FirefoxOS/TCP/Flashing_your_device/|these instructions]] to flash Firefox OS. '''Mac OS X''' users, you can flash the bootloader using [http://dl.cubieboard.org/software/tools/livesuit/LiveSuit_ForMac.zip LiveSuite for Mac] and follow [[#Repairing_a_bricked_device|these instructions]] for a bricked device. Sorry, but Mac users are currently unable to flash the bootloader from a virtual machine. Unfortunately you still need a virtual machine to flash Firefox OS. (This has been tested on OS X 10.9).
This will delete all internal user data (such as installed apps).
