howto reinstall sailfish on jolla phone

Hi all,

seems we have a device with a broken btrfs.

 scrub status for 818cf2b9-8e57-49f1-a211-5663d03c1585
        scrub started at Thu Jan  1 00:11:49 1970 and finished after 53 seconds
        total bytes scrubbed: 3.11GiB with 16 errors
        error details: verify=16
        corrected errors: 0, uncorrectable errors: 16, unverified errors: 0

The problem became visible because the device rebooted every time a text message was sent, sometimes even while typing longer text messages. Jolla support closed the issue stating:

Thanks for the message and log file. It seems that the device is rebooting because of btrfs. Unfortunately we don't fix btrfs related issues. Re-flashing or factory reset might help in this case.

which in itself is ... well ... factory reset did not solve the problem btw, just made it worse since the phone is in the dreaded reboot loop now (due to btrfs I suppose) and hence useless.

Anyhow, anyone an idea on how to flash the device? Did not find anything helpful, despite the internet being huuuuuuge ;)

Thanks and cheers, t.
