not sure if it has same hardware as i9100 then yes

 

[erotavlas]

not sure if it has same hardware as i9100 then yes

No it has different hardware.
i9100 has Exynos 4210 chipset and Android v4.1 (Jelly Bean)

i9105 has Broadcom BC28155 chipset and Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean)

What do you think?

I read on mozilla website.

Important: Remember that only devices running Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), 4.3 (Jelly Bean) and 4.4 (KitKat) and platforms based around it are supported (current Firefox OS devices are). Please check that your phone is actually running one of those supported versions, otherwise this step will most likely fail since some drivers are pulled from non-Nexus devices. Also, if you have to flash your device with the matching stock release. Keep in mind that some USB hubs don't work well with flashing tools, so you may have to connect your device to a built-in USB port

So I have to change the Android version before trying to build Firefox OS?

Thank

no it wont work for i9105 then, sorry about that. changing android version won't do anything because i think FireFox OS is not compiled for i9105 yet as far as i know...

So I bought a samsung s2 i9100 device. I would like to install firefox os. The ROM posted in this thread is the version v.2.1 which is unstable and the mobile data does not work. The latest stable version which will be released on 2nd semptember is the v.1.4 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases.
Is there a compiled rom with v.1.4? Or I have to compile it from source?

Thank you

there's no compiled v1.4 yet if you want you can compile and give it a shot

Edit: ask the OP of this thread to help you out in this

Hi,
I would like to know if this build of firefox os is compatible also with cyanogenmod 11 M9 for s2. Thank

Flashing this will also flash something that looks like Siyah kernel, so I guess this will not work with CM11.

 

[_AtilA_]

It won't probably work because I'm using the same kernel from CM10.2 with some changes I've done to make dual-boot possible (not in the kernel itself, but int the ramdisk). It really depends on kernel compatibility between CM10.2 and CM11. If someone wants to try, the steps should be:
1 - Flash CM11
2 - Flash my .zip
This will overwrite CM11 kernel with mine, so we can dual-boot.

CM11 needs new drivers (among other things) and will not work with any CM10.2 kernel.

I have installed cm 10.2 and then installed one of the provided files. I can still bot into cyanogenmod 10.2 but when I try to boot into firefox os it's just a black screen.

What am I doing wrong? I have the I9100

EDIT: I got it working, I had forgot the adb push step. I used the feb one and it worked. I then tried to install the june zip from recovery, but it doesnt seem to work now.

Is it possible to update like I did, or do I have to follow the instructions every time?

Does someone have a mirror? The mega.co download keeps failing over and over again.

nevermind after trying and trying i got it in, now it won't boot and displays a black screen..
the device is accessable using adb.

Can anybody reply? I don't understand the instructions and the only thing i get is a black screen, or with a bit of luck the firefox os boot screen and it hangs there.

right now just a black screen.

Tried to install the June zip multiple times now on my i9100 (int). Finally found a version of CM10.2 (Infected - presumably different kernel..?) which `worked` and tried FFOS both with that and entirely on its own, flashed via CWM, and only ever got the black screen. I think part of the problem is *ALL* of the 10.2 builds seem to be gone from the CM sites now. It might be extremely helpful to know exactly what version OP was using - preferably with a working link - and to know whether ANYONE has had success with the updated FFOS given.

Will you make b2g compatible with cm11?
