Hello, during the last few months I have tested Firefox OS in Alcaltel Onetouch Fire (from Spain) model and it was very nice but the experience was not entirely satisfactory because the Alcatel Onetouch Fire it's a model with a low performance. For now It's seems that it's very difficult to find a good devices (with good performance) in order to run FirefoxOS, but suddenly and with happiness in the past weeks I have discovered and purchased the Geeksphone Revolution model with Firefox OS 2.0 and I'm very happy with the performance and with the usability of the device, but again suddenly I have sadly discovered that this model was not support by Firefox OS for the next Firefox OS release: (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Phone_guide/Geeksphone/Geeksphone_FAQ)

"Be aware that Geeksphone work on Firefox OS has ended (Geeksphone Revolution IS NOT officially supported by Mozilla, and it's boot.img is signed by the manufacturer), so you won't be able to update the latest device to the newest Firefox OS versions, therefore you should probably choose a different device for development work."

I'm very interesting to continue use Firefox OS and that include the possibility to update for the new Firefox OS versions. I've actually seen that when I run config.sh script in order to compile Firefox OS in the list of the device supported does not appear the Revolution model but I see older models of Geeksphone like keon and peak why?

What can be done? It's a really a new model with a good performance with many possibilities !!! I guess there are other people with the same problem !!!

Thank you very much.

Now that this device is not supported by Mozilla we dont have a data base to answer the question with.
