pawel ( 2017-10-11 19:45:28 +0200 )editWhy can´t I buy this Sailfish OS to my Xperia? If I press buy now, I will get answer "Sorry, not available in your country". When it is available in Finland?
Kada ( 2017-10-11 19:50:38 +0200 )editDoes this strictly for 5121 only? I have 5122.
orol ( 2017-10-11 20:04:34 +0200 )editJust flashed, looks great! :D - But now I'm puzzling why I installed Windows in a VM and installed EMMA...
breiti_oi ( 2017-10-11 20:06:25 +0200 )editMy Xperia is now flashed too! Great work Jolla! Hopefully you can get these fixed soon: -Waking up the device by double-tap does not work -Internet sharing (tethering) does not work
Otherwise flashing went smoothly, but it took some time to download everything and have Android Studio installed (to get the bootloader unlocked)... after everything was ready to go, the bat script that flashes the phone was executed in just two minutes and Sailfish was ready to use.
