ZTE Open is still 1.0.1, LG Fireweb runs Firefox OS 1.1. If you can get a Fireweb, don't waste your time with the ZTE.

- reirob 13y agoFully agree with you. When will it be possible to install a newer FFOS version on the ZTE Open?
- reidrac 13y agoThis is the best I got: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/975002 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/975002 I know ZTE Open offered in Spain (via Movistar) got an OTA v1.1 upgrade some days ago (some users are reporting problems). So... hopefully we'll get an upgrade soon. Who knows, it might even work! :) EDIT: my frustration is not with Mozilla but with ZTE support that so far has been terrible :(
- AaronMT 13y agoAnytime you want. It just requires you to build B2G (Firefox OS). https://blog.non.co.il/index.php/zte-open-phone-upgrading-to-firefoxos-1-1-how-to https://blog.non.co.il/index.php/zte-open-phone-upgrading-to... The author has even provided an image that you can flash in that article.
- reidrac 13y agoYou need to root the device exploiting a vulnerability (CVE-2013-2094 if I'm not mistaken). ZTE "Open" is not that open I'm afraid. EDIT: no longer true, ZTE enabled "fastboot".
- mstevens 13y agoAs far as I know this is no longer true - there's an official firmware image that enables fastboot: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/ZTE_OPEN#Device_revisions https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/... However I've not yet actually tried this on my ZTE Open.
