This link was working at the time I have posted here - as far as I remember - but now it does not work anymore and since v4.5.0.21 every images to download require some extra fields in the url: {Policy, Signature, Key-Pair-Id} which is supposed being unique for each customer / registered user.

You can also try this one:

and you will enjoy the 403 forbidden error. I think that this is an sensitive step towards a more restrictive distribution policy. With positive and negative implications, depending the point of view:

  • negative - because the community is even more thigh to Jolla Oy and its destiny

  • positive - because Jolla Oy affirmed in a practical way their right to limit the re-distribution of their proprietary software and the vendor’s one.

I cannot exclude that this decision has been taken under the pressure of the vendors, but I do not think it is about Sony because all the stuff is anonymously downloadable from their website. Possibly Qualcomm which is the producer of the SoC, instead.

UPDATE

For the next release, I suggest to apply this patch:
