Upgrading your devices

This is the usual drill before attempting to upgrade your devices,

• If you use Phonehook from OpenRepos, uninstall it before upgrading.
• If you use Patchmanager, revert all applied patches before upgrading.
• Take a backup of your data before attempting to upgrade your device. A successful backup operation is indicated by a green dot in the UI.
• Do not reboot the device while the update is in progress.
• The device screen may blank out during the update process, you may waken the display by a short press on the power key to monitor the progress.
• Do keep the phone connected to a battery charger during the whole process.

For detailed instructions on updating software, visit Zendesk [ https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347 ].

If connected to the internet, and your account is subscribed for Early Access releases, your Jolla device should receive an OS update notification shortly.

Known issues

• Google contact sync may sometimes hang up and drain the battery
• PC connection mode (MTP) does not work with Windows 10 in all cases
• In some cases pending updates for store applications or applications installed from 3rd party repositories may block the system update. Installing the application updates first should fix this.
