Jolla C is now a brick
asked 2016-07-28 23:21:59 +0200
After about a week of testing and setting up my new Jolla C I had to repartition my SD-Card that had one partition f2fs and one SWAP to ext4 and swap. I did so using parted from openrepos and creating a new partition table on said card. The card mounted fine on Jolla C as did the SWAP partition. After a while I decided to reboot the phone and since then it has not turned back on. No vibration, nothing.
I fear that somehow the NAND could be affected by partition table writing? Is there a way to connect NAND to a PC and check if everything is okay, or do I have to send in the device?
Connecting the Phone to PC shows QHSUSB__BULK in device manager - maybe this is a starting point towards flashing the device or repairing something. Are there flashable images around yet - and if so are they a viable solution for my situation with regards to "QHSUSB__BULK"
Overview:
1: Tinker with partition tables on sdcard presumably - as that did work - mounted fine as swap and ext4
2: attempt reboot
3: stay dead
4: take out SIM and sdcard
5: attempt boot - stay dead
6: attempt recovery (vol-up + power) / fastboot (vol-down + USB) - stay dead
7: connect to PC - QHSUSB__BULK in device manager
8: open ticket at ZENDESK
Has anyone got a clue?
Remember, with great power comes great ...
All I can think is trying to fastboot without the battery, but doubt it will do anything if you can't get any life out of the phone...

This is extremely unfortunate - I did not cause this situation knowingly or at all and the Jolla C comes without warranty. I was told I'll have to pay for delivery (which is okay) and repair fees on top (no amount mentioned) for reflashing this. That's a bit of a joke unless they are incapable of doing so and would replace the motherboard alltogether - in which case I'd say WTF
