Some other comment (it is not about installing sailfish, partitioning, black screen , os/kernel selection failed and so on ... ):

You do remember the charging problem when connecting USB in act dead mode!
I always had it, sometimes it worked. Most often not.
I had your L2fix kernel as default!
Now I switched to kernel-plus r6 as default. And guess what? It seems to work reliably... (tested a few times)
What is not working is the LPS displaying of charging status, what has worked with your kernel (almost?) always.

So, any difference in the kernel itself responsible?

@all
can someone reproduce?
