    2. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/jolla1-does-not-start-anymore/6579 (sledges, 07:06:17)
    3. <Dakon> Over USB the device shows up as modem after a while, recovery mode does not help. Jolla support said "ask community for help", but to my knowledge no public information is available on how to go on from this stage. (sledges, 07:06:24)
    4. <Dakon> Given that the device is out of warranty and (commercially) useless, I would welcome if some more information on low level access to the device could be made available, e.g. how to access the low level bootloader, maybe dump the flash. Also things like "these are the wires you could connect $magic_device to read the low level flash" or something like that would be appreciated. (sledges, 07:06:35)
    5. <Dakon> Target audience: experienced developers, i.e. people that know how to operate a terminal, dd and the like and how to operate a TTL serial converter (sledges, 07:06:46)

  4. Bluetooth support in Android (30 min -- asked by ddobrev) (sledges, 07:15:24)
    1. <ddobrev> I keep searching for a solution to no avail so I'm forced to bring it up once more and this time I would like to have more definitive answers, please. (sledges, 07:15:26)
    2. <Jolla> Unfortunately we don't have additional details to share. We are looking into the this, but don't have any schedule to announce on this. (sledges, 07:15:37)

  5. Dual-booting with Android, Xperia 10 dual SIM in particular (30 min -- asked by ddobrev) (sledges, 07:49:09)
    1. <ddobrev> Getting Bluetooth support in Android would be possible with dual booting. Let's discuss the options, if any, for new Xperia devices such as 10 and forward. (sledges, 07:49:17)
    2. <Jolla> Dual boot is an interesting option, but unfortunately not trivial to implement due to how Sailfish OS overwrites the userdata partition. (sledges, 07:49:29)
