Not to mention the fanboys Jolla seems to have lingering around who defend the most indefensible things. At present, from rainisto's post, 2014 may see the release of flasher for developers (warranty void?) so another month(s) of waiting :) /rant |

I don't think Jolla folks are thrilled about using Qualcomm. But they chose it for some reason.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for Jolla
We are working on solution where end user can reset their devices back to factory state, even if they have managed to get their devices filesystem in non bootable state (as long as btrfs works). That will most likely happen with custom recovery mode which will be installed at some coming update. More info will be available next year.
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). |

So for the time being we are driving through the desert without a spare tire?
"real flashing solution without breaking device security" -> Just curious would be the disadvantage of broken security on this level? Testing the Jolla for 1 week was a good opportunity to flash my daily productivity phone to a clean and up to date state. |

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. |

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for Jolla
One vision would be to offer imei based certificate which would allow flashing your own devices that have been registered to your Jolla account. And that would most certainly be behind some warranty void submit button. But lets see what spring will bring us, upcoming rescue image should offer solution to recover from most of the basic booting problems.

MR. JOLLA, TEAR DOWN THIS LOCKED BOOTLOADER! |

The IMEI solution sounds nice, but a but complicated... is it possible that the user just sets a flag "allow free flashing y/n" and that it is disabled by default? I guess for many people here the risk of bricking is higher than the risk of theft. |
