How do I get the file for my home directory into read/write mode using the Jolla Recovery v0.3.1 tool ?

I'm following the guide here (https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202208763#2) and I've backed up all my data but now I can't delete said data from the device so I can try to recover the phone using btrfs recovery.

Any help would be appreciated, I don't have a proper .vault file so I want to try get back to a point where I do so my contacts and messages are easier to retrieve than writing code to pull them out of the sqlite databases in /home/nemo/.local

I wrote the full version of events on my blog if you want to read it. http://www.softwareontheside.info/2016/05/recovering-my-jolla-from-boot-loop.html

In answer to the questioned I asked above you can run the following command to mount your home directory as a writable filesystem:

mount -t btrfs -o skip_balance, subvol=@home /dev/mmcblk0p28 /myhome

If anyone else is going through this and wanted to reach out feel free.
