User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20140527133511 Steps to reproduce: Tried every combination of buttons to boot into recovery mode (actually several people have) Actual results: Nothing Expected results: Enters recovery mode so can reset device etc
For now ADB debugging is on when device ships so device can be reset from a PC using adb: 1. run a command prompt 2. adb shell 3. cd data 4. rm -rf . 5. exit 6. adb reboot We could no doubt create a new boot.img and/or work with the manufacturer.
Can someone confirm if there is a recovery.img on the device? If there is then it's probably a hardware problem or perhaps code in boot.img not hooking up the buttons. If there is not how can we build one an make it work? The makefiles have targets for recovery.img Another option is using the fact that the chip set might support booting from an sd card. We need to figure how to make it do so.
The reason recovery is not built is that device/allwinner/flatfish/boardConfig.mk explicitly sets TARGET_NO_RECOVERY := true
The new bootloader (2.0) resolves these problems https://wiki.mozilla.org/FirefoxOS/TCP/Flashing_the_Flatfish_bootloader
