this is extremely annoying: obviously my update failed and left my phone unuseable because of some aliendalvik-control program. me and many others use this to get access to control stuff of android apps.

i manage to start the phone but there is no screen. i can login via usb and ssh and see the updatelog and the problem seems to be a faulty rpm uninstall procedure. it breaks with the funny error of

/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.m1IGAi: line 32: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'

worst of all: the forum entry i found this in is 16 days old, refers to a developer version and has been ignored by jolla since then ...

i'll have to think about what to do with that ... and have to get a lineage os phone asap tomorrow ...

shit

Is it not possible to use a backup or to install sealfish again ? On my Xperia X there was no problem at all.

i got it working again. i wanted to avoid reinstalling it from scratch and then from the backups since this is not exactly pain free.

i found some hints in the new forum.sailfishos.org. obviously lots of people ran into this trap: some older programs are incompatible with the update and the update will crash when they are present. the reply by jolla people to user complaints about this is not really helpful and goes along the lines: rtfm, it's in the 60 pages release note of the update.

as much as i like the idea of an alternative to google and apple and as much as i like the sailfishos-ui and backend, this phone is still not for the average user. i wouldn't dare to recommend this to friends, i don't have that many left.

I got a bit into lineage, since jolla (software) seems to not really care about their old "fans". Get's worse and worse for the original hardware. I own 2 jolla phones first generation.

hello

SFOS 4.01 is available but "it worked without problems so far. i had to reinstall aliendalvik of course and needed to reinstall some android apps after the update was finished. up until now everything looks good. let’s hope it stays that way."

i am reinstalling Sailfish on my Jolla 1 . Do you recommand me to don't install Sailfish OS 3.4 ?
