Jolla 1 boot images

Devices
#1

Hello! Recently i’ve bought Jolla 1 (JP-1301) “for spare parts” even wtih original box and few back covers.

However, phone wasn’t booting, even in recovery mode. But it’s successfuly booting into fastboot. I’m suspecting that previous owner was bricked boot or recovery partition while experimenting on it.

I’ve got big experience in Andorid phones modding, and now i’m going to try Jolla as main phone. So, as i can see, Jolla itself isn’t providing any full imges to flash Jolla-1, so may be someone can backup first partitions using recovery mode and upload somewhere?

Fastboot flashing links on maemo forums are dead :frowning: But if anyone got backup - it would be nice, if you will reupload them :slight_smile: Thanks and appreciate for any answer!

It would be nice if someone can reupload images from here:

Is the Bootloader unlocked?

#4

No, but it shouldn’t be problem to flash official images?

#5

No you cant flash jolla 1 without opening bootloader.
When the bootloader is locked the prev. owner cant bricked boot Partition in my opinion.

When recovery mode is not working i think emmc is dying… :frowning:

Here is a tutorial to enter recovery mode

Hm, yep, it can be eMMC too. Thanks.

Hello

I´m new to sailfish os and I bought an Jolla phone but when I tried to start it it was stuck an didint go past the Jolla logo. I tried to do a factory reset with Windows and Putty but nothing happens. I get in to recovery mode and when I try the reset menu i doesnt work. Im not wery skilful with programing and technical stuff so I would appriciate any help I could get. I get a message that says something like:

ERROR: accessing `/mnt/@´
(ERROR) While deleting old user data!

Is there anything I can do to get in in working state?

Thanks in advance

But why. It is 10 years old (with specs to match) and 3 years out of support.

I am in a similar situation as the creator of this thread. I recently got a very clean Jolla 1, with Sailfish 0.99.3.1 (Faddajärvi), in a “unlocked” state. The browser actually works, but only with plain http: sites, as it doesn’t find a common cipher for recent https: sites. Probably related, I can’t switch on Developer mode (after touching the switch it shows the Conditions of usage, and after touchin Accept it returns to the previous, “off” state). With USB and “Developer Mode”, I see some ssh server is visible, but I don’t have credentials, and with USB and “PC Connection” I get some Bluetooth access, but only see one read-only directory with one 0 byte file entry. Is there anything I can do to improve the situation? I.e. new(er) boot image? Or a way to really open developer mode in this situation?

As a newcomer to the forum here was the announcement of Jolla Phone retirement:
https://blog.jolla.com/jolla7/

I don’t think that acquiring a newer image would help as if I try to log-in with an existing Jolla account credentials on last firmware version it points to Jolla “Terms of Service” via browser with no option to accept as expected.
