Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

it says

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

should come up.
1 which sailfish version are you on, I assumed the new release?
2 might be that cdc_ether module is not loaded on PC (sudo modprobe cdc_ether to load manually)
3 if, you are on older release of sailfish you may have the option to boot kernel to restore a backup , however, given that you dont follow how to use USB Networking as is, you probably also dont have backup images of the device , so this is not an option.

try - if you are on latest release, on PC to probe cdc_ether.

also a dmesg output and lsmod would help identifying where the issue is.

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

Last relase, after sudo modprobe cdc_ether this is the lsmod:

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

with dmesg it shows:
does it means something?

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

it means your device is alive and communicating :)
Now, after modprobe seems to at least have added cdc_ether module, are you still not able to ?

sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.18 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

if not , are you able to see usb0 with

sudo ifconfig -a

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

it shows eth0, lo and wlan0

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

you did press volume down? while powering on, and not volume up?

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

it shows fastboot

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

I believe you have the old unlocked bootloader.
Possible you didnt upgrade ?

Try to download https://github.com/djselbeck/jollare...net-initrd.img

and - as root - issue

fastboot -i 0x2931 boot boot-telnet-initrd.img

from where you downloaded boot-telnet-initrd.img

You might need to apt-get install fastboot :)

Output should be either

1. device boots that image with no errors
In this case, you can get telnet access (see https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Sailfish/Backup_Device) and create backups - which will be useless, as your device wont boot. Possibly you can get a copy of all 28 partitions, or at least the root file system to restore this way. However, it is 16GB of data :)

2. device tells you 'not allowed' in whicg case, you do have the newly locked bootloader. If USB net doesnt work, afraid we are ATM in the situation that you will need to return to service.

So, what does fastboot -i 0x2931 boot boot-telnet-initrd.img tell ?

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

Just one note, with linux you need to use "sudo fastboot <command>" as unlike with adb, fastboot doesn't have usb write access as user :)

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

Just noticed
You seem to be missing modules usbcore and rndis_host. Might be the issue with USB0 net (assuming you are using a newer Ubuntu)

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

right :) Thanks for pointing that out

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

how do i put the img file in the root?
i don't know what "from where you downloaded" means :/

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

ok, do like this

(You might need to install wget and fastboot by
apt-get install wget
apt-get install fastboot)

and tell us if that produces an error :)

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

ehm..
FAILED (remote: access denied. need privilege!)

i'm getting mad with this :/
however thanks for your awesome help so far =)

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

could you try to load those two modules i mentioned a few posts back. Then, see if usb0 interface will com alive

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

with apt-get install usbcore and then rndis_host ?
If so it says unable to locate package

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

sudo modprobe usbcore
sudo modprobe rndis_host

afraid it might be that the new recovery partition got damaged, which does only leave a return to jolla care :(

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

after i write
sudo modprobe usbcore
sudo modprobe rndis_host
it doesn't display anything
and then sudo ifconfig -a doesn't show usb0

it eved said unable to locate package fastboot with apt-get install fastboot

for tonight i give up, thanks for your help =)

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

Just a quick note,

there are some linux distributions which doesn't name USB net devices with usb prefix. Some name them wlp...s... something for example. You should definitely check if there is a new interface. Also you could have a look in dmesg after you boot recovery mode.

Another thing is that usbcore often is compiled into kernel and not as an module which means it doesn't show up in lsmod ;)

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

The android development tools, fasboot and adb, are not included in the main repositories of Ubuntu.
You need to either get them from a tarball or install a ppa (a kind of community repository)
The easiest way is do this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

How can i do this?
sudo ifconfig - a shows this, and i guess these are the devices it can use:
@juiceme i did as you said, but fastboot -i 0x2931 boot boot-telnet-initrd.img stil displays
FAILED (remote: access denied. need privilege!)

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

@ZioBilly, use "sudo fastboot -i 0x2931 boot boot-telnet-initrd.img"

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

Your bootloader seems to be locked, it has nothing to do with sudo.

Your only chance of recovery is jollas recovery. For this you need usb networking working.

Boot your device in recovery:

• Power off device with no usb cable
• Press volume down and hold, then press power and hold until "Jolla" shows up
• wait for recovery to boot
• connect to pc via usb

If connected to pc can you send the output of "dmesg|tail -n200" ?

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

it is stuck on Jolla logo after "Press volume down and hold, then press power and hold until "Jolla" shows up"

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

supposed to be :)
now, you need to get USB0 up to telnet to the device

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

This is the output of dmesg|tail -n200 :
do i have to go with
sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.16 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
telnet 192.168.2.15
?

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

i think the interface is eth1 not usb0 ;)

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

Yes! Jolla recovery has started! now i think i have to do reset, right? =)

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

yes,it registered as eth1
so, replace USB0 with eth1 in ifconfig

but, it seems from the log like you pressed volume up insted of volume down if ifconfig eth1 ... fails try to do the procedure again, and ensure you use volume down when power on

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

i was late :)
yes, press reset to factory

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

this is the output i'm pretty sure i pressed the volume down.. i'll try with the other :/

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

no, you did correct. Now just reboot device

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

nothing changed, still in boot loop

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

aav, not good
Something is damaged so that the factory restore is not enough.
I guess root filesystem is not completely restorable :(
Afraid this means it needs service at Jolla for a complete reflash :(

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

Stskeeps helped me out.

This was when I was on the 10.0.1.x version of the os.

The
mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p28 on /mnt failed: Invalid argument

Error message is most likely due to corrupted filesystem on /dev/mmcblk0p28

Maybe you should contact Jolla Care ?

If you are able to get a prompt when connected to the device, its fixable.

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

where can i contact jolla care?

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

since the restore worked, a prompt should be possible (fastboot boot)
what did stskeep tell to fix it?

Re: Jolla device in a boot loop
 

The restore is not working in ZioBilly's case ?
/dev/mmcblk0p28 is not mountable

We mounted with other paramters.

But I think they are working on a fix for this one actually. This thread proves that I'm not the only one experiencing these problems.
