Recovery not working after update 2.1.4.14

Yesterday I installed the latest update on my Jolla 1 after clearing all patches and even rebooting. Update went through fine. So I started activating some of the patches from patch manager. This broke lipstick I guess, cause after I rebooted again, the PIN mask came up and if I was fast enough I passed SIM-PIN as well. But it rebooted again. I found out, that If I wait longer, it reboots before I enter the PIN, too.

I know using patches is a bit risky but there is recovery mode which I happened to need quite often in the last 5 months and that not for the patches but some filesystem issues. Well, there was recovery mode.

My phone is not going there anymore! I am so annoyed because of all the issues I had (hardware replacement, 3x btrfs write issues to recover) and now I can't even get to a point where I could fix things!

Does anyone know, why recovery mode won't start?

EDIT to answer a question: Actually, I am not even sure, if it recognizes my attempt. It feels more like always regularly booting. I press volume down (either while inserting battery or right aftewards) and holding it power. Then it vibrates. Up to that point it looks like its going for recovery mode. But when I put in USB nothing happens, instead it continues as it did when not pressing volume down, booting to lipstick. Fastboot comes up fine though.
