Revision history [back]

A new Jolla owner here, having got used to the phone for one week. So yesterday I happened to install newest system update 1.1.1.27, which worked fine until this morning. After some slowdowns & Android-apps seemed to keep crashing, I restarted phone and it got stuck on the main logo screen. As a new user, I weren't yet aware that I would have to disable OpenRepos before installing system update, which may have been the reason for the eventual bricking.

At any rate, I'm able to enter into recovery mode through telnet. Btrfs recovery doesn't work, but I'm able to either use shell or try resetting flash to factory defaults.

Before trying factory reset, I'd like to copy some of the pictures and music files I had installed on the system first to my SD (FAT32). But as soon as I'm trying to mount /dev/mmcblk0p28 to /mnt/home with the instructions [url=https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202514138-How-to-copy-data-from-Home-to-SD-card-in-Recovery-Mode]here[/url], terminal stops responding to any commands. Connecting with telnet again without shows that /mnt/sd has been mounted, but mnt/home not. How should I try to proceed from here, if I'd like to still backup some keyfiles (pictures at least) before trying to reset phone to factory settings?

From Jolla Care, I got also a reply suggesting to try repairing file system with the command, before trying factory reset:

btrfs check --repair /dev/mmcblk0p28

This fails, printing the following note to the terminal:
