This is the best build of Firefox OS I have ever used, omg. I don't know what it's like for you, but I can't find many bugs.

thanks man
overall i like it
the only negative is when unstick App Transition, opening/closing app/setting becomes very slow (in 1.4 i did unstick to make it faster/smooth)

 

[vampirefo]

2.1 works well, however 1.4 is more refined, closer to being released, Once 2.1 gets closer to being released it will be the preferred firefox version.

..in recovery mode

backup and restore > restore from /external_sd > new_2.1 > yes restore

It can't find the folder.
Unmounted and mounted the external_sd didn't help.

What's going wrong?

Thanks for the build!

But could you please explain how to use .50 recovery?

I am trying to flash it to my open c with:
adb push cw_recovery_50.img /sdcard/cwm.img

But I get:
failed to copy 'cw_recovery_50.img' to '/sdcard/cwm.img': Read-only file system

You don't have to adb push the recovery to sdcard, use fastboot to boot recovery.

fastboot boot cw_recovery_50.img

or to install recovery

fastboot flash recovery cw_recovery_50.img

do you have a micro sdcard installed? did you extract the backup in correct place?

Well I've got an sdcard in it which I used on 1.4. Or do I need to initialize it or do anything in particular? I even did 'format' of the recovery menu..

Unless you have used recovery to make a backup, then you need to create all the folders, if you have used recovery to make a backup, folders would have been created except for new_2.1, which is made when you extract 2.1.

if you don't have /clockworkmod/backup folders on your sdcard you need to make them, then in /clockworkmod/backup extract 2.1

in recovery mount external_sd

then post output of

adb shell ls /external_sd/

adb shell ls /external_sd/clockworkmod/backup/

Thanks for the tip!
I managed to get .50 recovery working, but now when I am restoring from external_sd it says:
Error while restoring /system!

That usually means bad download, you may need to redownload 2.1.

That usually means bad download, you may need to redownload 2.1.

I re-downloaded it and it now falls with hash mismatch for system.ext4.tar.a

I tried formatting the sd card with .50 recovery but it still gives that error.

Is there any way to do the update via fastboot by any chance?

 

[vampirefo]

No, your sdcard is bad, if you have room on internal sdcard, make folders and extract 2.1 there.

I just did an adb push to the card:

adb push new_2.1 /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/new_2.1/

But when I'm in .50 recovery - it does not see the new_2.1 folder. It only sees the one it created earlier when I did a backup.

Any idea what the heck could be wrong? xP

 

[vampirefo]

No ideal without looking at your sdcard.

Sorry about all the stupid questions, just the last one - can it be done via 'zip install' in recovery by any chance? Or does it have to be through restore?

 

[vampirefo]

The version I uploaded is restore only, you could make a zip install if you want, use Google to find info how to build cwm installation zip.

Ok, thanks for the help!

I'll post the zip here if I succeed in making one.
