Unlock your boot loader
I do have some issue :-(
I am following the guide on https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ but the video on this page seems not to have been updated, but anyway you have to follow the procedure on this page. When doing this I face the following issue.
On a Win10 computer, I am not able to install the USB driver on the S1Boot Fastboot, it comes with an error that the Hash to the file do not exist the indicated catalog file. I have tried to download the driver on two different location on Sony’s homepage but with no success. I have also tried to add the Hardware IDs in the android_winusb.inf file, found in the Android Composite ADB Interface Properties (%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_51E0), sill no success.
On a Linux Mint I did come nearly to the end. Here I do not have to install the drivers. When sending the command >fastboot devices< I am able to see my phone. When sending the command >fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xCEE3B1E4D4A06654< I received the following error, “FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)”.
Are there anyone who have the correct android_winusb.inf for Win10 and are there anyone who can help me what to do when receiving the above error when trying in Linux Mint?
Are you sure your unlock key is correct? Sony unlock keys are device-specific...

Heh no kidding, of course the SFOS image is not available yet but wouldn't you want to root your device immediately when you buy one?
juiceme ( 2017-08-21 11:10:47 +0200 )editI am just preparing the phone so I don't have to use so much time when SFOS is released. The Jolla 1 I have has some issues, two bottom lines and one center line are not working and screen is freezing now and then, so hopefully they can releas the SFOS soooooooon. :-)
