As my Jolla Phones file system is broken, it goes into a reboot loop if I try to boot. In the recovery menu, if I take 1) Reset device to factory state I get the following error:

[ERROR] Flashed recovery image is too old and does not support phone clearing.

I was trying to register at the zendesktop but get the following error:

Verification failed. Please try again.

So, I'm a bit fucked, as I can't factory reset my phone and I can't register an account to get help. And Yes, I have tried to use the https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests but that one just gives validation error on the captcha.

What other options do I have? Get enough people to vote for this issue, so maybe someone at Jolla sees this and may help me?

Have a look here https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204709607-Jolla-Phone-How-to-use-Recovery-Mode near the bottom of the page (4. Troubleshooting / FAQ), it explains how you can download that lastest recovery image, put it on an sdcard and recover the phone that way.

@fmotl: thanks for the suggestion, but the recovery-menu is the same as the one already in the recovey mode and gives the exact same error.

Seems my email address was already registered (had a case with delay in delivery), so register or make a new case will result in a "captcha" error, which is really misleading when it's about account already exists.

Issue more or less fixed thanks to a fix from CodeRus https://coderus.openrepos.net/jollarecovery Just have to factory reset again as the last update failed and start all over from 1.0.8 to upgrade to latest version.
