What features would you like to see in the future for Recovery Menu?

asked 2013-12-28 17:44:55 +0300

We have a handy new feature called the Recovery Menu in 1.0.2.5 that can be activated on start-up with a certain key combination. What features would you like to see in it in upcoming updates for it?

Right now the only real feature is a total factory reset. We can do better. What do you wish for?

Consider that some features can only be enabled if developer mode is enabled too.

Very important: - possibility to save (and restore) back-ups on microSD, PC and online/Jolla account!

@torcida totally agree, except the online part, for lack of privacy issues that would entail

Target mode: expose the device internal storage and the SD card as standard USB disks: this might be very useful for some recovery attempts or other system backups (even though it will probably only make sense for users that have a Linux machine, given the filesystem used in the internal storage).

Like Boot to bare CLI w/ vkb enabled? Or rescue mode sshd (that allows one to reach the device via WLAN if GUI doesn't boot anymore)?

"Backup to memory card, reset and (try to) recover settings".
