1.1.0.39 - Recovery-Tool - Option #5 - What will happen?

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?

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!)

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!!
