Note that after baking µSD card and booting phone, as per [https://www.reddit.com/r/pinephone/comments/f1l7bm/sailfish_os_on_pinephone_best_os_so_far_in_my/fh8o0s2/ Reddit comment] you have to adjust autobrightness settings in order to actually see interface.

The current (6 Feb) version of Sailfish has a defect with the auto brightness: on first boot this means you get a blank screen. You need to hold your phone up to a bright light to enable the screen, then disable the auto brightness in Settings, Display. [https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=9054 See this forum thread.] If you're not familiar with SFOS, be prepared by having a Jolla account and skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left. This is just because holding a light over the sensor can be tricky, otherwise the SFOS tutorial is necessary as the UI is not that intuitive.
