How to enter flash mode

The original bootloader can't boot in fastboot mode so you need to flash a new one. You can follow the instructions here.

With the new bootloader, you can now boot into fast boot mode:

  • Power off the device.
  • Press and HOLD the power key (do not release until after the next step)
  • When the boot logo (Firefox OS Contribution Program) appears, press and HOLD the Volume+ key until the Fastboot logo appears. You may now release both buttons.
