1.1.0.39 - Recovery-Tool - Option #5 - What will happen?
asked 2014-12-07 11:22:32 +0200
A brief prehistory. My OS has until recently worked as normal. Android, and even XMPP was normal with 1.1.0.39. Then I installed Glacier homescreen. But immediately uninstalled. I stupidly forgot to reinstall the Lipstick. Of course, after the restart I got a black screen.
So I wanted to bring my cell phone completely to factory settings. I have read, we should NOT use the option #5 under 1.1.0.39.
/quote: Running option #5 BTRFS filesystem recovery is likely to break your device. Unfortunately the only working feature is option #1 Device reset, and you should follow these instructions to do it. /quote end
It was late and I have this option UNFORTUNATELY executed. After the restart, there was still a black screen. I started again recovery tool and use the option #1. Thereafter, the smartphone starts normally in 1.0.0.5.
I was able to perform two updates: 1.0.0.5 => 1.0.2.10 => 1.1.0.39.
However, I have the feeling that the smartphone simply runs totally unstable. You can not create an XMPP account (I heard that there was a general error in 1.1.0.39). Android Supprt is initially normal, after one or two reboots that would work but no longer. I have to uninstall Android support and delete the alien folder in the /opt/. Then reinstall it. Then it goes again, but only until the next 1-2 reboots. If i open an app it loads only and at some point it stops, nothing happens.
Now to my question: Can all this be because I have the option # 5 applied? If so, is there a solution? EXCEPT to send the smartphone for repair!!
I can say that I have been a lot more settings, Apps, Games, Apps Openrepos and had EVERYTHING was normal. But now much worse.
and there is ANY possibility to upgrade from 1.0.2.10 to Update 8. So I can make all the settings and then Upgrade to 1.1.0.39? (i am opt-in!)
Unfortunately I can not help you to solve the problem, but from what I understand you can opt-out for the update by sending another Email to Jolla. If this is the case you can go on for update 8

There is the warning You will not be able to rollback to update8 should you wish to in the Uitukka release notes both in https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204076583 and in https://together.jolla.com/question/59874/release-notes-opt-in-upgrade-to-software-version-11038-uitukka/. These warnings are there on purpose.
It is technically possible to opt-out a phone, of course. But note that this would require the attention of the guys who are working hard to finalize Update 10 (late already). Please show respect to their work - they cannot really afford doing opt-outs.
Can all this be because I have the option # 5 applied? (by @cvp) Attempting option #5 in the Recovery Mode may result in "Segmentation fault" after which the phone fails to boot up beyond the Jolla logo. Judging by this, the issues observed by @cvp are probably not caused by option #5.
