Notes for installing Sailfish OS on the Alcatel Idol 3 (OT-6045 with 5.5" screen). This (unlike the OT-6039 4.7") is a msm8939 device (2GB RAM, Snapdragon 615, Adreno 405).
Originally released in 2015 with 3.10.49 Linux kernel and Android 5 Lollipop, it was officially updated to Android 6 Marshmallow with the loss of fastboot ability.

Status

Known problems

  • [CALLS] Can't change loudspeaker volume using buttons
  • Sometimes the screen blacks out (during call, during install) :
    • Workaround : short press or triple-press on power button should wake the screen ; also try different lid/cover/proximity sensor settings

OTA update

Use the commandline, sfos-upgrade application is recommended. 

# On a freshly booted device...
# Install sfos-upgrade package like this, or through Storeman
curl -O https://openrepos.net/sites/default/files/packages/5928/sfos-upgrade-3.6.3-stable3.noarch.rpm
devel-su
pkcon install-local sfos-upgrade-3.6.3-stable3.noarch.rpm
# Use "rpm -Uvh sfos-upgrade-3.6.3-stable3.noarch.rpm" if sfos-upgrade is already installed
sfos-upgrade 3.2.1.20
# Download takes ~30mn, install takes ~5mn
reboot
# Device will reboot once on itself to update boot partition
# Once back in SFOS again, go to commandline again and run :
devel-su post_sfos-upgrade
