If you are not keen to adapt the port yourself and become a heroic porter, it is not advised to get any other device. Especially if you want official Jolla support.
Until further official notice this is. Patience is advised.
I'm with you on this one. I bought F5121 for my gf and I would like to get F5122 for myself but I can wait until September when Jolla comes out with more news.

It depends on how successful this method is in bringing new people into the sailfish os world.

This is a new strategy for Jolla, considering they cannot convince anyone to build first-party devices for the european market and so who knows? But if very few people actually buy the image, then yes I expect they will give up on the idea fairly quickly.

This is something that needed to be done. It is a lot harder to sell a phone OS without a showcase. Just by having an OS in the top-of-the line hardware lifts up the profile of the OS.

Also, they need developers more than they need "normal users", to close the app gap. Attracting only/mostly developer types (people who are happy to install the OS on existing hardware they bought separately) probably isn't a problem from Jolla's point of view.

Their missing out a lot on paid apps. I know not everyone agree on this but any eco system would need free but also paid apps.

I did not see below test before I bought my XZs.

Getting my device next week. But it seems I have choosed correct between XZ and XZs. Let's hope some SFOS fans buys this device so we can see SFOS on it 2018

Multitasking is faster since more memory.

Now it really would be epic to see sailfishos (and dalvik) on that device....

Does anyone know if there is progress on releasing build directions to compile the sailfish image?
I find myself with a long weekend and I'd like to spend it sailfishly.

Afterwards you can extract TA-Partition (DRM-Keys) and upgrade to your CDA (Android 7.1.1) again.

The whole process of Downgrade, TA-Extraction and Bootloader Unlock is very well described here. But its unfortunately in German.

http://sailfishmods.de/2017/07/howto...ys-bootloader/

Maybe this will help non-experts in downgrading to Android 6.

I struggled a lot with the downgrade. That is because I am not so handy especially with Androids nor computers in general. However, if I have good instructions I can manage even Linux :-)

So, always as I flashed 6.0 phone went to bootloop.
However, I could successfully flash Android 7 versions.

Took some time to realize that stored userdata has to be wiped in flashing process, as I had initialized the phone with personal data.

My process in Windows 10:

(previously had installed Xperia Companion and XperiFirm)
Installed flashtool 0.9.23.1. It did not work but after updating to 0.9.23.2 (=replacing x10flasher.jar with a newer version) it worked.

Used F5121_34.0.A.2.301_R8A_Nordic Generic_1302-3140.tft from http://www.gsm-file.com/ .
(Had tried direct downloads from XperiFirm in flashtool, but flashing struggled with that userdata problem, those should have worked too)

In flashtool Firmware Selector remember to select USERDATA under Wipe.
I did not change other defaults and flashing was successful.

Does that mean US will definitely get support, or is that a "maybe, it's on the table"? I ask because I'm probably buying an X today if I can get SFOS on it in the US.

Thanks for any insight you might be able to provide.
