Easiest way is to reflash phone with firmware: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=100528

These changes will do:

Allow Early Access updates at same time with Jolla C
Remove all intex stuff including activation SMS, Gaana, Aptoide

These changes will not do:

Jolla C LTE bands (this is hardware limitations)
Preinstalled android will remain

Changes persists after update, you will receive same updates as for Jolla C

Changes does not persists after factory reset, because phone factory backup still contains intex data

Take note that this script won't work with newer Versions of SFOS (>2.2.1). The script works flawless with the 'factory reset' version of the Intex Aquafish (2.0.2.45 (Aurajoki)).

Simple steps:

Open https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CODeRUS/aqua-fish-to-jolla-c/master/script.sh to check what script will do
You need Developer Mode on
You need to open your terminal or login to remote shell

Next commands you should execute in terminal

devel-su

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CODeRUS/aqua-fish-to-jolla-c/master/script.sh)

Read prompt carefully, it will ask you to do actions at least 3 times.
Profit!

Part 2: replacing intex factory image with modified Jolla C factory image

After doing these commands your changes will survive factory reset.

Download This Factory Image for Aqua Fish
Unpack and copy to sdcard
Boot in recovery mode, enter shell

Execute:

mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /mnt
dd if=/mnt/mmcblk0p21.raw of=/dev/mmcblk0p21

Wait until image will be copied to partition, no output will be produced. Operation is finished when the copying is complete.
Back to recovery menu and perform factory reset.

Credits to Kirill Chuvilin for modifying factory image.

How to revert if something failed?

Magog ( 2016-10-20 16:43:29 +0200 )edit

@Magog how about that in reverse? But you need the feature-intex file on device iirc as you won't be able to download it again afterwards - @coderus you might want to add that as a security measure, load the required files for reverting to intex ahead of actually removing them.

Thanks for your precious help. I will try it, but first will I get OTA/updates? If I change my Intex to Jolla C, will I get EA updates (on J1 I am EA)?

What does "make Aqua Fish to think it's Jolla C" mean? Does it change the LTE bands? Does it disable the SMS to Intex? Does it remove Gaanaa? Does it persist after an update or reset?

Hmm... not good... .Yesterday evening I wanted to make an Aqua Fish to a Jolla C as well.

@coderus: Any Chance to get the modified Jolla C image somewhere? Thx for help ;)

vision ( 2017-10-17 11:44:15 +0200 )edit

Hello. If that tar file still existed somewhere that would help me a lot too. One question I have is, if the installed programs are removed (resetting to a factory "Jolla C") or if things like email/photos/android apps stay as before. I would not so much mind setting the Aqua Fish up as a Jolla C from scratch, but my little son has a game on there and would be very unhappy if this was accidentally removed.

So if someone still had that tarfile, please give a shout. And thank you for CODeRUS for making this available in the first place.

nic ( 2017-10-25 01:26:45 +0200 )edit

I will also appreciate that tar file.

flanker ( 2017-10-25 13:09:37 +0200 )edit

I would also like to be able to get the Jolla C recovery image for my Intex Aquafish. I want to reset it to pass it on to a friend without having to go through the Jolla C-ifying process. If the link could be repaired, I'd appreciate that a lot ... .

problem1: in factory reset version , i can not activate developer tools - says not available in store

problem2: updated to 2.0.5.6, dev tools were installable, but when trying solution 1 i do end up in in the loop of death, could click on 1 forever :)

@coderus, i followed the wiki and managed to get to v3.2.1.20 yesterday (Dec 29 '19). Thanks a lot.

Pardon for asking the question in a comment:

Can i do a full backup of current version (as stated here) and use this as a baseline in part 2?
if the linked procedure is not suitable for using in Jolla C'fied Aquafish, can the procedure is followed as standalone for backing up and restoring Sailfish to v3.2.1.20 in future? i'm a tad bit skeptical on which process to use, either this or this

Main motive: Not to follow tedious process of upgrading to latest version (as of now v3.2.1.20) from the factory image (~ 5 stop releases).

Hello, I have tried method 1 several times, but I cannot convert my Intex to Jolla C.

After executing:

devel-su

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CODeRUS/aqua-fish-to-jolla-c/master/script.sh)

Many errors are displayed that offer me to reply with 1/2/3 / s / r / c. I always answer with 1. After several attempts, it displays the following message:

Resolving dependencies...

Resolving package dependencies...

After that message, the errors start again.

I have also tried the following command to solve the problems:

rm /etc/zypp/systemCheck.d/feature-intex.check

But the problems continue to appear.

I have tested the installation method in Sailfish 2.0.5.6 and 2.1.4.14.

Please can someone help me?
