Technical changes
The detailed changelogs are here.
Updating your device
By installing this update you accept the updated The Sailfish OS End User License Agreement.
The usual update process
Your device must be connected to the Internet and signed into your Jolla account.
Start the update from “Settings > Sailfish OS updates”. Avoid running updates on the command line, please.
We warmly recommend making some 3-4 GB of free space for the internal storage of your device ( /home
) before starting the update. Processing an OS update of almost 1 GB requires a good amount of work area. Move your pictures and videos to the SD card (or your PC or cloud service).
This is the usual drill before attempting to update your devices:
Back up your data before an attempt to update your device and save the backup to an SD card or some other off-device location (PC, your cloud service). Note that videos and images are not included in cloud-based backups. Do not reboot the device while the update is in progress. Do keep the phone connected to a battery charger during the whole process. The device screen may get blank during the update process; you may wake the display with a short press of the power key to monitor the progress.
For detailed instructions on updating software, read our help article in Sailfish OS Documentation.
NOTE 1:
Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would break your device.
NOTE 2:
After downloading an update and selecting “Install” in the pulley menu, the device runs a restart first. You will need to type the security code before the actual installation can start. A horizontal progress bar appears on a black background, under the Sailfish OS logo. When the other end of the bar has been reached the phone will restart automatically. If it doesn’t, please wait for 15 minutes. If it is still stuck at the 100% point of the progress bar it is time to perform forced power off . Next, turn the phone on with the power key and check the OS version at “Settings > About product”.
NOTE 3:
The Jolla Shop has the images of the latest OS release only. Keep the previously downloaded ones stored on your computer if you should want to reflash one of them later on.
