Hi, thank you very much for the port!
Sadly, I am not able to install sfos: i successfully flash the AOSP images, but when trying to flash the twrp in the fotakernel i get:
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
So I tried instead to flash the twrp to the recovery partition with fastboot -S 256M flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-scorpion.img and it works, but then when rebooting the tablet I am not able to access the recovery... I press the volume down button when the light is purple, but nothing happens and android boots.
Any idea what is my problem?

EDIT: finally I managed to install it 👍

I has the same porblem.

To install twrp I use the command:

fastboot flash boot twrp-3.0.2-0-scorpion_windy.img

After reboot, the devices directly boots into twrp and you can sideload SailfishOS

If you get this error fastboot: error: Couldn't parse partition size '0x while flashing boot or twrp use this command to make it flash:
fastboot flash:raw boot boot.img

Remember to replace "boot.img" with the correct image name.
