I've bought an LG Fx0 off of ebay. It's GSM unlocked, and I'm pretty happy with it. I used to have a ZTE Open C, but this is much better hardware. I only wish I could upgrade the firmware. It is currently stuck on 2.1. I doubt KDDE Japan will give me any support on this one, so I wonder if there is any other way to upgrade? I'm willing to tinker a bit.

Best Regards

If there's any way to upgrade it to firefox os 2.5. It's GSM unlocked.

I effectively know that there are some LG Fx0 unlocked but I don't think there are 2.5 builds for this phone yet. But it is likely that someone is working on this. You can find all the devices with a 2.5 build here: https://firefoxos.mozilla.community/devices/ At the bottom of the page, you have a link to find information about other devices which have no 2.5 builds for now.

It is possible to shallow flash builds of Firefox OS, but the cellular service and the Bluetooth stops working

Do you know if someone is working on this actively? Maybe the problem with lacking cellular connectivity can be solved?

Theoretically it is possible, but I don't know of anyone actively working on the port. Some more info about it in this Twitter-feed: https://twitter.com/dietrich/status/667556773289553921
