Device recovery, stuck on "create a snapshot"

Hello,

After experiencing some trouble with phone (no messages, no jolla store access, cant access system setting etc) I decided to reset my phone to factory settings.

I managed to get in recovery mode and followed the instructions for 1.0.8.21 as described here; https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202208763#2.

Now I've been patiently waiting for about 30 minutes, but I'm stuck at "Create a snapshot of '/mnt/factory-@' in '/mnt/@'"

Here is the whole terminal output so far:

-----------------------------
     Jolla Recovery v0.2.7

Welcome to the recovery tool!
The available options are:
1) Reset device to factory state
2) Reboot device
3) Bootloader unlock [Current state: locked]
4) Shell
5) Try btrfs recovery if your device is in bootloop
6) Exit
Type the number of the desired action and press [Enter]:

ALL DATA WILL BE ERASED! Clears everything from the device and reverts the 
software back to factory state. This means LOSING EVERYTHING you have added to 
the device (e.g. updates, apps, accounts, contacts, photos and other media).

UPDATE: Soooo, it seems I've made things worse. After 2-3 hours and nothing happening in the terminal, I pulled the plug, took the battery out and in again, and turned on my phone. Now I'm stuck on the Jolla logo.

UPDATE 2: I contacted Jolla Care about 2 weeks ago. After a bit back and fourth, trying different things all with the same result, they advised me to send it in for repair. Let's hope they can fix it! I'm already sick of the S3 I've been using..
