We are also investigating if we can offer real flashing solution without breaking device security, but for now the approach will most likely be to update recovery image which will allow resetting back to factory state (after querying devicelock code if that has been set).
Thanks for the 'update' on this.
But, quite frankly, this is dissapointing news.
Initially this was expected to be a open device, based on the experience from Nokia and limitations.
Perhaps my Jolla will end up in my local museum for useless stuff.
Unless, of course, either Jolla comes up with a flashing solution and tools, factory images, including sources etc.
Or, I can use some less available Qualcomm tools to break this thing apart.
