Important steps to do before updating

Disabling openrepos before updating

If you are using openrepos, you need to follow those steps before updating, or you risk breaking your device:

  1. enable developer mode, if it's not enabled
  2. connect by SSH, or open the terminal
  3. list all repositories by typing ssu lr
  4. disable all openrepos repositories by typing ssu dr repositoryname for each of them
    • for example, if you have a repository "openrepos-NielDK" you'd type ssu dr openrepos-NielDK
  5. after disabling all openrepos repositories you can start the update

Help! I didn't follow this, and now my device is broken!

  • do you have developer mode enabled, and can SSH in? Follow the above instructions to disable all openrepos repositories, and manually update your device with version --dup
  • if you don't have developer mode enabled, try if you can open settings. If you can open settings, do a factory reset on your device. Note that this will delete all your data
  • if you can't open settings, boot your device into rescue mode, and select factory reset there. See https://together.jolla.com/question/22079/howto-all-pc-users-recover-or-reset-a-device-that-is-stuck-in-boot-loop/ for instructions to get to the recovery mode. This will delete all your data as well
