I have entered the PIN of my Intex Aqua Fish too many times and it is permanently blocked. Has someone an idea what to do? I even don't find the option to reset the phone. It the phone broken?

Sorry it is not clear whether you still know the correct pin or were trying various combinations before being locked out. If the former is developer mode enabled upon device as this thread may help?link text

I used this solution: https://together.jolla.com/question/91297/how-to-recover-from-permanent-device-lock/

One more thing for macOS users with an MacBook or MacBook Pro with USB-C. You can't establish a telnet session with the Terminal app to the Sailfish device. It seems to be a software issue, because I was able to cennct with my Lincus VM to the device. It's the same problem, if you try to flash a device for UBPorts.
