Getting Started with ZTE Open C

These docs are just my attempt of making sense of and filling in the gaps (i.e. for first timers) in these articles:

Enable Debugging in Firefox OS 1.3

Turn off the lock screen

  • Settings
  • Screen lock (or Phone lock)
  • Lock screen

Turn remote debugging on

  • Settings
  • Device information
  • More Information
  • Developer
  • Remote debugging

NOTE: For some debugging your phone must not be on the lock screen. It must be unlocked on the homescreen to begin.

Enable Debugging in Firefox

Enable Remote Debugging

  • In the URL bar in firefox go to about:config
  • Ignore the warning
  • Search for remote-enabled
  • Double click to turn false to true

Install ADB Helper

Restart Firefox & Enjoy

  • Go to about:app-manager

Android Flashing Tools

brew install android-platform-tools

Plug the ZTE Open C into your USB port and check to see if it shows up

adb devices

NOTE: The phone must not be on the lock screen. Unlock to the home screen first!

The first time it may not work because the daemon hasn't started:

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached

Unplug, replug, and try again:

adb devices

This is what success looks like:

List of devices attached
ZTE_OPENC	device

And then you can login to the phone as root over USB

adb shell
