How to update Flame to 2.1 on Windows computer
Today I installed update, but the phone stopped responding. When battery runs out, the phone showed no sings - even the power button did not worked.
Than I updated the phone to 1.3 - like it's described on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/Flame , but I do not know how to update to 2.1?
I have the b2g-35.0a1.en-US.android-arm.tar.gz and gaia.zip, but where do I put them?

Hi GapsoN, I understand that you would like to update to 2.1 on the Flame device, you have already flashed the base 1.3 image and that you would like to know where to put the two files:
- b2g-35.0a1.en-US.android-arm.tar.gz
- gaia.zip
Put these two files in the same directory as the flash.exe file that was extracted.
Hi guigs2,
Can you please explain this. I put the b2g-35.0a1.en-US.android-arm.tar.gz and gaia.zip in the same folder with FLAME_UPDATE_V123.exe.
I run the update, but now I have 1.3 on the phone. Which flash.exe do you have in mind?
I just finished installing the environment recommended for the sdk bundle, however please see way below if you already have installed the sdk and have successfully run an adb command: 1. Install Eclipse atb bundle for Windows for shared resource errror: extract into Program Files folder with new folder. 2. Install JDK for Windows http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/jav.../jdk8-downloads-2133151.html for file path error to jdk: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini#-vm_value:_Windows_Examp...
<below> On the device make sure that the settings have adb enabled: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/F.../Developer_settings as well as the driver: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/F.../Flame#Windows
Please note, where adb.exe is installed, you will have to inlude the file path in quotes in cmd.exe with the argumment outside of the quotes.
For example: "C://adb.exe" devices
With the the flash script and all files in the same folder from cmd.exe
cd to the folder
then run via:
"/shallow_flash.exe" -g gaia.zip -G b2g-XX.XX.en-US.android-arm.tar.gz
If this gets too complicated, Linux commands for windows may be helpful: https://www.cygwin.com/
In the meatime, the mdn article may also need to be updated as it seems there is some confusion.
