sebsebsebhi13:15
sebsebsebanyone around?13:15
r0kk3rzdefinitely not13:16
sebsebsebr0kk3rz: hi13:16
sebsebsebright so13:16
sebsebsebthis is over due, but13:16
sebsebsebor in a way over due but13:16
sebsebsebyes I have had a Sony Xperia X with Android on it for quite a few months now,  bought to put Salifhs OS on it13:17
sebsebsebI wonder if I can still get Salifhsh X with the money Jolla owes me the second half of the refund of the tablet that never got !13:17
r0kk3rzi would expect so13:18
sebsebsebhow ?13:18
r0kk3rziirc a voucher/code was sent to tablet backers for a discounted price or something like that13:18
sebsebsebyes it was motnhs ago in like janurary or something13:19
r0kk3rzmaybe you had to register13:19
sebsebsebbut not sure where those emails are quite, plus i don't knw if that will still apply13:19
sebsebsebyes I didn't do anything with that so13:19
r0kk3rzsailfish x is still being sold, and if you havent been refunded yet then they still owe you13:19
r0kk3rzi see no particular reason to put an expiry date on that offer13:19
sebsebsebhmm maybe i should try and email jolla about it too13:20
r0kk3rzthat would be a good idea13:20
sebsebsebyou got a good address for that ?13:20
r0kk3rzhttps://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=76400713:22
sebsebsebr0kk3rz: and it has a few options including jolla round 2 etc13:25
sebsebsebon  a side note, I think can re flash using linux now as well, not just windows ?13:26
r0kk3rzyes, provided you can OTA all the way to latest android before unlocking the bootloader13:27
sebsebsebr0kk3rz: oh do you have  to do that ? or is that only if using linux to re flash ?13:27
r0kk3rzthen everything can be flashed properly with fastboot on linux13:27
sebsebsebalso that phone uhmm actsually has something that shoudn't be on it13:27
sebsebsebsome adware or something13:27
Elleo;113:28
Elleooops13:28
sebsebsebsince had some issues getting security updates installe into the android13:28
r0kk3rzwhat do you mean?13:28
sebsebsebbut hey it's meant to be getting re flashed right13:28
sebsebsebI just know in my mind, it may generally be not that secure currently since what I just put13:28
r0kk3rzsony put something in the latest version which allows flashing of the OEM partition13:29
r0kk3rzwhich we use13:29
* sebsebseb should have maybe re set email passwords and such too already really, but hadn't, it's been a few weeks already13:29
r0kk3rzso either you do that through OTA, or you need to use their EMMA flashing tool on windows13:29
sebsebsebI was looking before, at like progrms that couldback up android texts and such, but yeah want to back up the texts, and photos and v ideos13:30
sebsebsebthe rest can go13:30
sebsebsebfrom arnod13:30
sebsebsebandroid first too13:30
sebsebsebr0kk3rz: what's the emma falshign tool ?13:31
r0kk3rza tool from sony that flashes the phone13:32
sebsebsebso is using windows the easier way to do it really13:32
sebsebseb?13:32
sebsebsebI guess so ?13:32
r0kk3rzimo the OTA way is the easiest, but perhaps the slowest13:32
r0kk3rzbut once you unlock the bootloader, you wont get OTA13:33
sebsebsebmaybe my android is infected or sort of thing see above13:34
sebsebsebI could do a factory re set of android first or something13:34
r0kk3rzif you're worried about that, then nuke it with the EMMA sony tool13:34
sebsebsebr0kk3rz: that's the way to do it from windows ?13:38
sebsebsebits probably just adware or something13:38
sebsebsebcomes up with spammy stuff13:38
sebsebsebsays its from like the dchrome browser app and that's not oepn etc13:38
r0kk3rzthe sailfish x image does come with instructions on what to do13:39
sebsebsebr0kk3rz: but yes I want to start nice and clean with salifish os13:40
sebsebsebon it13:40
r0kk3rzthen flash it first with the emma tool (which unfortunately is windows only)13:41
sebsebsebthat's the like13:45
sebsebsebwiping tool13:45
sebsebsebplus boot loader change ?13:45
r0kk3rzyeah13:45
r0kk3rzmore or less, it does fairly low level flashing operations using the qcom interface13:45
sebsebsebthen can contineu re flashing from windows or go to linux13:47
sebsebsebyes this is over due13:48
sebsebsebback some stuff off android first htough13:48
r0kk3rzyou can flash on linux if you prefer13:54
sebsebsebr0kk3rz: how13:55
r0kk3rzultimately its just a script that wraps fastboot13:55
r0kk3rzyou follow the instructions, thats how13:55
sebsebsebr0kk3rz: yeah I will  have a go at re flashing  but got som stuff to take off phone first from android etc14:04
