Does anyone has such an image to share? This is last resort to review my dead Jolla C... I can't recover it via recovery tool / factory reset because recovery image seems to be corrupted.

I understand Jolla can't provide such an image due to legal etc. but I hope it is not completely illegal at least ask about it :). I apologize if it is - please just delete this message.

p.s. just in case if such an image would magically appear, my email is: elderorb@gmail.com

I don't know much, but if the issue was only one of legality, it probably would have still been done long ago, (that usually doesn't stop people). I think it may actually be impossible, since you would need to have access to all, or enough, of the source code to build the image, and I don't think that access is available. This thread touches on it - https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91885

Anyway, what exactly is the problem with recovery? Did you try it? What happened?

The issue with recovery is that when I'm getting to the list of languages I can't select anything! As I understand due to recovery image corruption

I don't remember having to pick language to get into recovery. Are you doing this - https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000663928 ?

Picking language is required when you boot first time after recovery.

I don't think the recovery img has anything to do with the phone when it's booted, except maybe that you modified something in the system while you were in recovery. What exactly happened to make the phone 'dead', and what exactly happens when you boot and try to select language?
