Hello,

Two days ago my phone informed me about new update available. It bricked my phone!

Update was started. But in middle of the progressbar update was termitated with message "Update failed, your phone will reboot".

Now my phone lost interface. There are no icons, no messages on the screen. But wallpapers show, and temporary swipe from bottom to up shows info about lost calls, incomming messages etc but only when my finger on the screen.

When somebody calls me I only see wallpaper and listen melody. But i cant answer a call.

What can i do to unbrick my phone?

Thanks!

So I solved a problem most easies way: firstly I've connected phone to PC, and using Jolla Recovery copied whole /home partition to PC, next made factory reset, updated using standard gui tool step-by-step updated to latest version and restore /home partition back.

Firstly I didn't found my contacts. Actually contacts was not copied back cause no read privileges on directory .local/share/system/privileged.

When i made on my PC in backup dir:

chmod +x .local/share/system/privileged

and copied this directory back to phone, all contacts restored.
