Instructions on Flashing a Daily Build
Daily builds are created from a manifest file, that contains commits from different parts of the stack. (gaia, gonk, and gecko). Our Engineering team has set up a daily repository for daily builds being built against specific devices.
Downloading a build
- The main builds are stored daily in the FTP directory. For directory access, please see someone from the Mozilla QA team. (tchung@mozilla.com, jammink@mozilla.com)
- Note: you must be employed by Mozilla to access these builds
Pre setup
- Mac/Linux: install Android SDK and tools
- Add adb to your path (lives in /platform-tools)

Step 1
