David,
The problem is that I did read the documentation, following the
instructions on this page:
https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Application_SDK_Your_First_App#Create_a_Connection_to_Mer_Hardware_Device
and they are not working. The page you kindly sent me has additional
information, which I haven't had time to try yet and which may point to
a solution to the problem. If so, then they need to add the information
to the page above. I can't remember where I found out how to enable
Developer mode, since the Jolla phone manual only has one line, saying
it needs to be enabled if you want it. It's possible I just followed
through the instructions on the phone itself.
Yes, the Xperia phone image upload is very well documented, but
unfortunately the phone I purchased was one of a batch number where the
manufacturers had, for some obscure reason, blocked flashing of new
images. Of course, I didn't know that when I purchased the phone - it's
not the kind of detail they worry about on Amazon! So my daughter got a
free phone and I decided it would be easier to buy a phone with Sailfish
already installed,
Sahlan

David,
Thank you for that specific page which I hadn't seen before. However I
did carry out those steps previously and click Save at the end. On my
phone there appears to be a small bug with the generated password, i.e.
that the Save button remains disabled and I have to delete then retype
the last character of the password to enable the Save button. However I
was not aware of the other steps on that page under the heading "Using
Developer Mode" which I will try. The phone is a Jolla phone which was
purchased with the Sailfish 3 image already on it. Before that I tried
to download a Sailfish X image onto I think it was an Xperia phone (or
whichever phone was recommended for Sailfish) but even though the phone
was unlocked it turned out to be a variant that did not allow flashing
of new images,
Regards,

Sahlan,
slow down boy and read more documentation - it will save you time and
headache.
The process of installing SailfishOS on Xperia phones is well documented
including requirements and works pretty well.
my 5cent
