[release notes] Koli 4.0.1

Announcements
#225

An OS update is executed using the software code (and the other setup) already in the device. The new update cannot help the installation of itself! The code of the new update will be in effect only after the device restart which is done in the end of the installation.

So, if a phone has 4.0.1.45 in it then the update to 4.0.1.48 is done by running the instructions contained in the code of 4.0.1.45. Hence, if there is a problem in installing 4.0.1.48, that problem is most probably caused by something in the phone now - the changes in 4.0.1.48 do not affect at that point yet.

The download size from 4.0.1.45 to 4.0.1.48 is around 30 MB. Only the modified code packages are replaced.

I’m encountering the same issue on my Jolla Tablet, it isn’t saying it needs to download 500MB, it’s saying the device needs 500MB free space after the 30MB update is downloaded, and prevents the user from installing it.

I even enlarged the root partition on my tablet with several GBs a couple of years ago specifically because the “not enough space on root partition” problem kept showing up with every new release.

Edit: ah, wait a minute, perhaps the enlarged root partition got undone after performing a factory reset.

Edit 2: it did indeed get undone after a factory reset. Here’s a great guide to enlarging the root partition. @ninepine, if you follow this guide, you’ll be able to fix the problem.

Edit 3: well, apparently, by following the guide, my device lock code got changed, and now I can’t do anything with my tablet anymore. Great.

Someone else have problems with dynamic orientation in the last update?

#228

I also have problems with dynamic orientation not working in android apps in 4.0.1.48.
It worked correctly in 4.0.1.45 on my XA2 plus.

#229

I ignored the warnings and installed the update without any further issues.

Wait, this is absolutely ridiculous. I have 10 attempts at unlocking the device. I tried three times in the UI, and two times in recovery mode, so how can my device possibly be locked already?

Do the dynamic orientation and fullscreen video play work in android apps, e.g. chrome etc. after updating to 4.0.1.48?

#232

Hm, I planned to do this tonight as well, did you use the route with or without device encryption? (I wouldn’t see where the lock code enters without encryption, but I want to be sure)

#233

Some time ago I had a similar problem and was forced to delete the update files to reset the update function to offer the update again.
Possibly this helps:https://together.jolla.com/question/210487/forced-downgrading-after-deactivation-of-the-early-access/

#234

Does anybody else have following issue?:
When choosing an entry from the call-history here comes the dialogue to choose the SIM-card but it immidately disappered, so calling from the call-history is impossible for me.

Yes, dynamic orientation works for me without any problems. In full screen mode (e.g. a YouTube video), this is played in landscape format in the browser.
I currently use Opera as my browser.

#236

I followed the route without device encryption, because the Jolla Tablet doesn’t have it.

#237

@treeman yes this happens as well on my Phone (xa2+), I got the impression that’s visible slightly longer on 4.0.1.48 than it was on .45 but still there’s no way to select a SIM.

Yes, in SFOS 3.4.x Opera, Samsung Browser, Firefox had no issues with playing videos in fullscreen/landscape mode, but all Browsers related to Chrome like Chromium, Edge, etc. had this problem. Would be good to know if they work now in 4.0.1.48, because
in the EA 4.0.1.45 it definitely works :-).
Thanks!

Update on a XA2 (single SIM) to 4.0.1.45 went smooth but update to 4.0.1.48 got me stuck at sony logo.
How to get hybris-recovery.img for 4.0.1.48 to get into recovery??
Do i really have to wait for the release?

#241

Point release of recovery image is not that important. Just use the recent one offered from Jolla downloads.

Last Version I can download from Jolla is 3.4.0.24 and the recovery image dont worked on my XA2 with 4.0.1.45/48. Output stops at “download boot.img” and it doesn’t continue. In each text I read (tjc, zendesk) that the version of the recovery image must correspond to that of the installed system.

#243

It sure does work for me, now!

#244

hybris-recovery.img from official Jolla download worked for me today on broken .1.45->.1.48 update.

Yes, approximately. hybris-recovery.img is a tiny linux system that allows you to boot your phone via fastboot (so it has to be corresponding to your hardware). It’s a very basic linux machine. This is not dependent so much on where you’re stuck with your ‘real’ system. Remember that you chroot into your real one and only kernel is shared between the two.

#245

Opera is also based on Chromium. So the Chromium base can’t be the real cause. However, I don’t know exactly if this also applies to the mobile version. (Not “Opera Mini”! ).
I have been using Sailfish in conjunction with Opera as a browser for about 3 years now. Problems have not occurred so far.
However, I would like to switch to a native browser if the functionality is sufficient.
