Sailfish OS for 2021

[glic 8]

Can someone point in the right direction to a fresh and updated solution on how to get latest Sailfish OS on this phone. I feel ready to do this step - I've waited for something more official for this phone from Sailfish, but there seems to be no information for someone who is not following this everyday.

I don't mean to self promote, the following guide it is not necessarily better than the guide on the forum, but it should be more comprehensive and provides a link to the Sailfish CI images: https://gist.github.com/Kabouik/f77539b3eb6a77b032d2fa827271b81d

Both of these instruction sets could use some updates since 3.4

I think this one is a little more updated

Absolutely. I think now it's only a matter of downloading the image, extracting it, and executing the supplied .sh script. On Windows, one would copy the content of the script and execute things one by one (or use WSL, or convert to .bat, I guess).

Note however that users have reported that the late ≥4.0 images do not work and would end up in a boot loop. Adam is on it, but no update has been posted yet. The way to go for now is therefore to flash an older image somewhere between 3.4 and 4.0, and then use OTA update. I haven't tried, but other users on Discord can probably elaborate.

I can confirm this. No rom will work for a fresh install but 3.3 or 3.4.

 

I installed 3.4 but i am getting not OTA updates.
