Hi all,

a week ago my Jolla phone showed strange restart behavior, usually the problem was solved by doing a btrfs balance. but this time it was different.

My jolla phone could not enter the OS. It's stuck on Jolla logo.

The only thing that I can do, was doing a full recovery using telnet as written here https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204709607-Jolla-Phone-How-do-I-use-the-Recovery-Mode-. I tried many times, but it didn't successful. There is always a step stuck in there, such as unmounting /mnt on cleaning up, etc. I had to forced to remove the battery, put it again and try to recover again. but it is still the same. I still can't enter the OS. I think I gave up this time.

I love my Jolla phone and the Sailfish OS, I also own a TOHKBD2. I would like to have another Jolla phone, but I decide not to buy this time. I live in a country in Asia where shipping cost and customs make the price is unacceptable anymore for me. The first time when I decided to buy Jolla phone from ebay in 2015 because I thought this phone can last longer than my N900 (I used N900 since 2012), but it looks like it didn't happen.

So I'm moving on to other phone this time. I purchased OnePlus X as for replacement. I choose it because it's listed here https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris as one of must supported phone.

But I'm not trying to install Sailfish OS on this phone yet. First I want to recover all data from my Jolla phone to this Android. The most important things are contacts and messages. Before I format my Jolla phone, I manage to backup the data from /home/nemo to the SDCard. Is there any ways to convert and copy the contacts and messages to Android?

And also my last question, is my Jolla phone really die? Because I still can do recovery mode or enter shell, read and write files there.

Thank you.
