User:Caspy7/Recovering a disabled Flatfish Tablet

If your tablet boots but is not usable, follow the instructions [here] to reset your userdata.

If you tried to flash the OS and it will no longer boot (and is not able to enter fastboot mode), use the following instructions to flash a working OS.

Note: This method is Windows only but works fine from Windows inside a virtual machine such as VirtualBox. We are working on a method that works on Linux and Mac as well.

1. Downloads and installs:
   • Download and extract the [fastboot recovery image](link)
   • Download and extract this [known-working build] of Firefox OS.
   • Download and install PhoenixSuit
2. Open the PhoenixSuit tool.
3. Click the Firmware button then the Image button and locate the fastboot recovery image file.
4. Power off the tablet and plug USB cable into just your tablet but nothing else (not your computer or a power adapter).
5. While holding the volume(-) button plug in the USB cable to your computer.
6. In PhoenixSuit click the Yes button to allow Format mode.
   The image will be written and your device should now display the Firefox OS logo to indicate it is in fastboot mode.
7. Run the "Flash" script that was included with the FxOS build [note to self, this build should not give an option about flashing userdata (there is no need] - also, it should not run the command to reboot into fastboot mode - and make sure to script flashing boot.img)
   Note: When flashing system.img the screen will display random colors and will take well over a minute. This is normal. Do not disrupt it.
8. After the command window indicates success, press any key to reboot the device.
