Please note that there are three different guides referenced above in this discussion thread (“topic”). The first two referenced use an “unused” boot partition, which has two significant drawbacks:
- It is not applicable to all devices, only the ones with both, a
system_aand asystem_bpartition. - “1. […] This option has the drawback that if you want to reflash your device with SailfishOS, the flashing won’t work, you need to restore the partition first, e.g. by flashing Android.”
The third guide referenced is a long outdated version (because nothing at together.jolla.com can be updated since 2020-10-01) of this guide at GitLab (which is referenced at the end of the obsolete version at TJC!). It takes a few gigabytes from the user volume to amend the root volume and hence works on all devices (except for the original Jolla 1, which does shift space between user and root volume automatically).
Please stop referencing the outdated version of this guide at together.jolla.com!
Do use this maintained version:
