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 605, 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.
