Hi fellow prawn farmers,   I've a Pro1 which runs under SailfishOS. As I haven't made upgrades for a very long time, I was still with the 4.0 version, I decided to upgrade it this week. I've made backups of all my data and a partition image dump on the one containing the rootfs and the homefs if case of.   I've made the upgrades following the Cassandra guides here, up to the 4.4 version. Upgrading to the v4.5 was removing some packages I wanted to keep. Then I made the post-install stuff described at the end, but also the screen firmware flash (I've changed it and it was a pain with the SFOS gestures). Everything was functionnal, I was able to reboot my phone and use it as expected. After the screen flash, I removed the screen firmware directory from the /usr/bin/droid/droid-load-firmware.sh script. But at the same time, I may have messed with the line defining the firmware directories in this script. I think I fixed it in the right way, however after a reboot, I'm stucked on the luks decyphering screen : after typing my unlock code, the phone stays busy indefinitely. For fixing this, I've attempted to put my Pro1 into the recovery mode. However when I attempt to boot into it, the phone reboot into the default boot option, which is the unworking SFOS. I've attempted multiple ways to reach the recovery, with no success.   This leads me to multiple questions :  How could I reach the internal partitions, or at least the rootfs ? It seems that I don't have any recovery, is that possible ? Can anyone past the content of their /usr/bin/droid/droid-load-firmware.sh script (Pro1 only, not from a Pro1X) ? Does anyone has a suggestion for solving this ?

I did this same exact thing for basically the same reason. How did you fix it? Please help.

Hoping it's OK to quote my own post in the circumstances: After some uncertainty while I was trying to decide whether I might actually want to keep my Pro1X after all (!!), I can confirm this one IS indeed still (again!) available for offers.   My apologies for the delay in getting back to people beforehand, due to the above plus also me having had my site notifications not set properly (facepalm!)... So yes, feel free to contact me [again!] if interested and/or you'd like to make me an offer...  And I WILL reply this time!!

Start with a backup of whatever you have now (in EDL mode, if needed). Try booting your phone into EDL mode then search these forums for more information. I don't know what works and what doesn't. If you can't solve it, make a new topic with your problem and what you tried.

I think that is a crucial thing, that we as users can not easily set/change. IF it was easy to change it would make it too easy for thieves to give a phone a new identity.
