You can extract it on Harmattan or ubiboot console. As long as you do it as root you do not need the "--numeric-owner" option.

True, that it is not true. 
I always extract on device (as root and using --numeric-owner).
Possibly for decompressing you may need to fetch bzip2 or other compressors in advance, so decompress on PC and push to MyDocs via USB.But also this works on device.

I'm not sure if this is totally off topic here, but could you then please translate this line:
Code:
sudo tar --numeric-owner -xf nemo-handset-armv7hl-n950-*.tar.bz2 -C /media/Alt_OS/
I mean what commands should I write into Terminal, if I want to unpack "sailfish.tar.bz2" on the phone? (I'm mostly concerned about the correct extraction path)
My guess would be
Code:
devel-su rootme tar -xf sailfish(or nemo).tar.bz2 -C /Alt_OS/

Pretty good guess
assuming you mounted your nemo partition to that (existing) directory.
add also the "j" param to tar, if you have a bzipped image (possibly need to be installed in advance, else copy unzipped image)
assuming you mounted your nemo partition to that (existing) directory.
Code:
devel-su mkdir /mnt/p4 mount /dev/mmcblk0p4 /mnt/p4 tar -xjf --numeric-owner sailfish(or nemo).tar.bz2 -C /mnt/p4 ls /mnt/p4 #to verify umount /mnt/p4

now that Jolla will launch tomorrow.. could any lucky owner extract the extra features missing in the sdk version? so then add it to the image?
Or is it possible to extract the whole thing from the phone?

Instead the community can help improve what is already open like nemo glacierUI core backends/drivers on N9, like NFC, GPS, Camera etc.

i'm asking because:
From Jolla
Anyway porting the SDK image should be illegal too?

From Jolla
"We cannot support Nokia's product officially. Technically there is nothing preventing for porting to eg. N9." While this does put a stop to the possibility of an official port, there is nothing stopping developers who have time on their hands to port the OS to the N9

For example silica components is BSD. Hopefully they dual license it later...
But what I mean is that many of the core apps in sailfishos is probadly closed. For example Android layer, maps app and so on.

So if I understand correctly, currently there is no way to install Nemo or "Sailfish" on an N9 without running Linux on a computer, right?
Question:
If I make these steps using windows:
1, Next, extract those files and place them in the same directory as the Flasher application. Once done, the command will be now modified as follows:
flasher.exe -k zImage-moslo -n initrd-moslo -l -b
2, The Terminal will give you a message that it is waiting for a suitable USB device. Make sure your device is turned off and plug it to your computer via the USB cable. The flashing procedure should finish in a few seconds.
3, Keep the device plugged. What happens next is that the N9 is being repartitioned for Nemo (on the device, you will see some green text/writing on the screen; just wait for it to finish) , you'll see the led blinking for 10min or so.
-------------------------------------------
Is it safe to disconnect it from Windows then, and boot Linux afterwards, and continue with step:
4, Plug in the device and wait Linux to recognize the "ALT_OS" media drive.
5, Extract the Nemo image into the newly-created partition. Enter this command in the Terminal (for Linux only):
sudo tar --numeric-owner -xf nemo-handset-armv7hl-n950-*.tar.bz2 -C /media/Alt_OS/
NVM, succesfully installed all the stuff, thanks for the helps, again!
