[Nokia 1.3] - [Drax]

Bootloader unlock

  • Update to nokia android 11 (using updater).
  • Mandatory: Insert SIM. Enable Developer Setting -> OEM unlock
  • If OEM unlock is greyed out then restart phone and try again. Unless it pings Nokia server it does not allow OEM unlock.
  • Power off (Important see last point)
  • Hold Volume Down and then press power. You feel a vibration and then it boots into fastboot mode
  • Or use fastboot reboot fastboot
  • Verify if you are connected properly with fastboot devices
  • fastboot flashing unlock
  • Use Volume Keys to select Unlock. Scary message!
  • Allow restart
  • Now device is unlocked. Again enable Developer Settings and authorise your PC.

Squeak

Results

  • Roar all hardware OK
  • Squeak: Initial check does not detect SIM, WiFi or Bluetooth. TODO.

Dynamic System Updates (DSU)

  • gzip in your PC
  • adb push system-squeak-arm64-ab-vanilla.img.gz /storage/emulated/0/
  • adb shell setprop persist.sys.fflag.override.settings_dynamic_system true
  • The next command is a single line. Note once you enter this, Nokia 1.3 becomes very slow. So wait... really wait.
  • adb shell am start-activity -n com.android.dynsystem/com.android.dynsystem.VerificationActivity -a android.os.image.action.START_INSTALL -d file:///storage/emulated/0/system-roar-arm32_binder64-ab-vanilla.img.gz --el KEY_SYSTEM_SIZE 1014649136 --el KEY_USERDATA_SIZE 2147483648
  • Look for the message: Dynamic system is ready. To start using it, restart your device.
  • Notes: Inside developer options there is DSU loader but it is empty (as Nokia does not provide it).
