Update to 2.1.4.13 then screen got black
asked 2018-02-22 06:50:10 +0200
I tried the first time to update via GUI, and it failed to install. Then I tried update with ssu re 2.1.4.13 and version --dup, but after reboot the system was still 2.1.3. I tried update with same commands again and the screen became black. It's able to use power key to switch on or off the phone, but nothing shows on the screen exept the Jolla logo just after the phone on. Now I try to update again via SSH. I try devel-su then ssu dr repository to disable openrepos repository first, also try sed -ie 's/releases-internal.jolla.com/releases.jolla.com/' /usr/share/ssu/repos.ini to fix repository. Then try version --dup to update. It reminds [W] PackageKit::Transaction::parseError:803 - Transaction::parseError: unknown error "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs" and seems not to do anything. How to solve it? Thanks very much!
Yes, I have been there... The Jolla 1 turned on, but screen stayed black. Fortunately one can ssh into it, but as you describe it, nothing helps. For me, a device reset via Recovery Mode (just google that) was the only thing that helped. Just backup your
