Black_Cat: What update are you looking for? We understand that you are frustrated but are doing our very best to rectify the issue. I will also contact Michelle to update this thread as well even if there is nothing new.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have nothing new to report, we are still waiting for new images. The latest still applies:

If you are able to go back to the shop where you bought the phone, the ZTE post-sales center has agreed to either fix it or replace it.

If you are not able to return to the shop where it was purchased ZTE is preparing a new update package that will include the fix to avoid the boot up problem after the update. I appreciate your patience while they prepare the solution.

Best regards, Michelle Luna, Firefox OS Support Manager, Mozilla

We got it back from tech support here in Colombia. They said they updated the OS and it finally turned back on. They also said the battery life was about 6 hours, and that you should try to never let it completely discharge and turn off, because it might take a lot to turn back on, if it ever does. I have to admit I am highly dissapointed by this phone. I mean, they basically said keep it plugged all the time, and updates still fail, even though they said that I should apply all updates available. Lately it turns off randomly (battery at 60 or 70%) and I have to remove the battery to turn it back on. I am really close to toss it and start saving for a new one, because it really doesn't do justice to all the other amazing mozilla products. Maybe other FFOS phones had better hardware, but here we had it at the same price than an Alcatel, I assumed they were comparable. Now weeks later the ZTE is 55% off here, and I feel ripped off. If you combine both some OS glitches and the crappy hardware, a FFOS phone is something I don't think I'll ever want to experience again. :(

Hi aledelreal,

Thank you for letting me know the result of taking your device back to the shop. I'm very sorry to hear your experience.

In your case, where the phone is turning off randomly, even though I'm sure it is a hardship to have to return to the store again, I would take it back again to let Movistar know there is still a serious problem with the device and request that it be replaced.

I will update the bug on my side to include your report of these problems, so the appropriate people at Mozilla, Movistar and ZTE are made aware.

Thanks again for your time to let us know all of the details.

Best regards, Michelle Luna

I have good news!

Today I noticed in the ZTE website, even though the System OS version didn't change, the date for the upgrade image was just few days ago (2013-11-08).

So, I downloaded the image, proceeded with the upgrade and EVERYTHING WORKED RIGHT!

Sorry the caps, I'm so excited :)

Thank you all for your help, especially Mozilla staff.

Hi Rolando1,

That is very exciting news! I am very happy to hear that this new package from ZTE recovered your phone to a working state!

Since it had been some time since we last received news from the ZTE support team, and since this particular update package failed on my phone when I first tested it, I assumed ZTE was still working on a fix.

It is very exciting to hear that you tested it, found the solution, and shared the details. Thank you so much! This will certainly be helpful to other users who may have this problem and bump into this thread.

Thank you for following up, and for contributing to the solution of this issue. You rock! =)

Black_Cat, can you get the md5sum of the zip file? Looks like you got the file corrupted somehow.

The update.zip I used have this md5sum:

It doesn't matter, I gave up weeks ago...

I need a phone, not a joke.
