Sad story: after having installed a patch I shoudn't, I couldn't open any app on the phone, still having SSH connection though. I reinstalled lipstick-jolla-home-qt5, which restored the phone partially. That was the moment SFOS 1.2.4.13 EA was released, so I decided to go for it. Unapplied all patches, uninstalled suspicious callrecorder & phonehook then launched OS upgrade.

The phone said "not enough space in system data partition", so I tried this recommendation: https://together.jolla.com/question/156279/installing-system-updates-fails-when-there-is-not-enough-space-in-system-data-partition/?answer=156670#post-id-156670, which failed. Deleted many big files in /home/nemo/ without result.

Recovery mode option (1) failed too ("md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 1 computed checksums did NOT match") Finally, jolla-settings "Device reset" option also failed.

Now I have an Xperia that can't boot and can't be switched off, with a perpetual display "Your device can't be trusted" then "Factory reset failed" in a very small font. Just waiting until the battery is completely discharged.

I am really afraid there is nothing I can do to rescue this brick...

(Unless there is a sorcerer around who can help me)

EDIT: using the volume up key at the exact right moment, I entered recovery mode and got this:

ALL DATA WILL BE ERASED! Clears everything from the device and reverts the
software back to factory state. This means LOSING EVERYTHING you have added to
the device (e.g. updates, apps, accounts, contacts, photos and other media).
