Hello what is left of Jolla,

My phone died on me, and next wouldn't boot (after jolla logo only steady white led light under the screen) so I tried the Recovery mode options, 5 and the 1. Now the phone just displays the logo forever when attempting to normal boot the device.

For backup you have tried:

5) "SSHD": allows commands to be entered into Recovery Mode via SSH-connections.

?

For factory rest you tried:

1) "Reset device to factory state": the device is returned to factory settings and all data on the device (pictures, videos, applications, settings...) is removed as well as downloaded software updates.
This function wipes the device clean of data. Whether

? If the factory reset is complete done, the option for reboot is shown. After reboot you have wait a view time, the jolla logo displays and after several minutes the system starts. Is this, what you did?

Yes I.. tried option 5 to no avail. Don't remember the error now.. so I opted for a factory reset which failed. Currenty I get "[ERROR] Flashed recovery image is too old and does not support phone clearing.". I've replaced the recovery-menu in /usr/bin/ (using netcat nc) with the one described in 3.2. here: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204709607#32

Suckers,

I solved this shit.

Do this: https://coderus.openrepos.net/jollarecovery/

But you can also save the step to save to your external sd by piping the file image directly to phone memory using netcat.

In Jolla recovery mode shell: nc -l -p 1234 > /dev/mmcblk0p28

On laptop: nc -w 3 10.42.66.66 1234 < new-jolla.img

Afterwards when done (will take an hour or so) on Jolla type:

sync

exit

.. and then choose 2) for reboot!

This will give you a factory reset phone.

I'm not sure it is a good idea to share this link in public since there is a reason that Jolla didn't release a flashable image. Afaik there are licensing problems regarding the Qualcomm drivers/firmware. And I guess there is a reason why @coderus hid the link in the first place.

I see what you mean now, maybe, I think. Copyright's a bitch.

It says I'm not authorised to access the zendesk page. (I do have a login, due to two previous issues).
