Here's one way of doing it, altough there are many possibilities:
  • get the filesystem image, for example vgrade-sailfish_r4.tar.bz2
  • unpack the archive with bunzip2 to get the tar archive vgrade-sailfish_r4.tar (or if using windows use 7-zip or whatever similar tool?)
  • copy the tarfile image somewhere on your N9, for example to your MyDocs/
  • go to Harmattan console, and go to root with "devel-su"
  • mount your ALT_OS partition with command "mount /dev/mmcblk0p4 /mnt" (now I am assuming your ALT_OS is partition 4...)
  • check that you have the correct partition mounted: "ls -l /mnt" (you should see the SailfishOS partition, I assume you know what it looks like)
  • delete all files from there with command "rm -rf /mnt"
  • check again with command "ls -l /mnt", it should be empty now
  • untar the new r4 files there with command "tar -xvf /home/user/MyDocs/vgrade-sailfish_r4.tar --numeric-owner -C /mnt"
  • check that all is in order there with "ls -l /mnt"
  • sync and umount; "sync ; umount /mnt"
OK yes, thanks that's the way I do it now and then will do in future!
