Fetch the update

Pre-requisites

You need a working Jolla account configured on your device in order to receive update notifications. If you are unable to successfully configure the account, please visit account.jolla.com and try to reset your password.

It is recommended to have the charger connected before attempting to upgrade the device.

Update the software

If your Jolla is connected to WLAN network, an OS update notification should pop up shortly. If you just can't wait, you can manually trigger an OS update check as follows:

Open Settings app

Go to System Settings -> About Product

Pull down the pulley menu and select 'Check for update'

Once an OS update notification is received, tap on it and follow the instructions.

Do not reboot the device while the OS update installation is in progress. The process takes up to 10 minutes. During the update, the device screen might blank out. You may awaken the display by a short press on the power key to monitor the progress. When the upgrade has completed successfully, you will see the LED light up red before the device restarts.

Let the phone proceed to restart by itself, do NOT touch the power key.

Note: If your device currently has a software version lower than 1.0.2.5 you will first be offered to upgrade to 1.0.2.5 before this update can be installed
