electristan 34 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Great news! When you say "It is not yet suitable for daily use" is there a list of working and non working areas? Just so have a better idea of the current status before future updates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

david 929 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Is TWRP fully working? I saw some older information about it not support A/B partitions, but that was from July. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Parhelion 114 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 @piggz, @TheKit thank you sooo much! I guess I'll just go ahead and flash it. Hope I won't damage anything being woefully inept at anything alike , but the instructions by @Waxberry seem clear enough.. In case of failure, I hope there'll be someone more competent around to help me out. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OliverTypes 152 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Any plans for a dual boot option? 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I tried pinging the TWRP developer Chen thanked and will start a new thread (if he doesn't) if he replies with more info. But even the early reports said it could flash, so for installing SFOS it's fine, and for stock backup, we already have a flashall so no worries that way either.

electristan 34 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 @Parhelion have you had a chance to flash and if so how is it going? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Parhelion 114 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) As soon as I get my device 🙂 I'm not in first batch, so it's gonna take some time. Edited November 21, 2019 by Parhelion 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popanz 24 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I'm running KDe Neon. Installed fastboot and adb over the official repositories. And want to flash SFOS on the Pro1. What is meant with "Transfer the TWRP image into the adb folder of your PC" Is there a special folder or do I have to configure one. Or is ist just like transfer the file where adb is installed. In my case this would be usr/bin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The TWRP seems to be only useful for Sailfish when you flash it with the way described, because of system-as-root, see the adventures in this thread: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popanz 24 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Thanx, so in my case usr/bin. I'll give it a try. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popanz 24 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-qx1000.img Can I use a path with the command? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 1,435 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Yes, and you certainly don't need to put the img in usr/bin you can leave it in downloads folder or whatever, just change to that directory first or use the full path. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popanz 24 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Already found that out on my own thanx! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popanz 24 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Next problem: After format I went back to reboot and choose reboot into recovery. But I have no Choice to install zip firmware. There is just: No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot? SD card with zip is inserted Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The guide says Quote A MicroSD Card, preferably no more than 32GB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popanz 24 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 It is 32GB. The steps are not described very good I think. It is not go back and go to reboot and choose reboot into recovery, but go back on Start Page choose Install and there choose install from zip. I have now installed it that way anyway I got the same message : No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot? Shall i?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popanz 24 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Can't get it to work. I completely repeated the whole procedure. I think the first time I missunderstood the part "go back and go to reboot and choose reboot into recovery" Anyway, this time i did the reboot to recovery. But I always get the failure message : Failed to mount '/vendor' (invalid argumment) Install runs thtough, but after instalation it still says, no OS installed and I can't boot into anything else than recovery mode. Any hints? Edited November 22, 2019 by Popanz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popanz 24 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 OK got it to run. Sorry for beeing a little bit nervous. Problem was, that It just takes very long to boot. At least the first time. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Craig 1,435 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Congrats Popanz! I seem to recall that first boot taking forever when I tried sfos on PQ, but the instructions had said it would, so wasn't surprised. After you've played with it a bit, you should start a new thread to describe your first impressions, etc... also mention if you can get into the Jolla app store. My understanding is that Jolla has to approve the device first; not sure if Pro1's allowed in yet... Edited November 23, 2019 by Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
