LOL thats the response, but honestly, You should know me better coderus.
First of all, I would not be giving the FULL story BEFORE contacting care if this WAS the case. !
Secondly, this IS a warning that this might (read WILL) happen to probably ALL devices out there now.

Let me add, that this was the response from stskeeps - but, let me also add stskeeps is the only one from Jolla so far who have paid attention, and is trying to aid this issue !!!

Am I happy, no!
Am I disappointed, yes!
Am I angry, yes, because this is a serious matter for every daily user of this device. If they loose the recovery they are screwed!.

Mind you, the device WAS able to boot into recovery before I went to sleep with my children.

Then, I turned it off, and the following day, turned it on - trying to start a dd recovery from my image of the NAND, like I have done so many times before.

Only, somhow during that time, being left off, until the morning when I wanted to enter recovery, it seems (so far) that the recovery partition got fu.. up, most likely the file system got shred!

I am not saying I may not have some of the 'quilt' here, but there were options for Jolla that would have prevented this.

Initially the Bootloader was unlockable by fastboot. They decided to not enable unlock option from fastboot.
This have disabled the only option left in my case, a fastboot boot boot.img to start a recovery shell and recover the device.

Thus, not allowing an unlocked bootloader is a really f... up situation for someone like me, that does changes to the core system.

So, I repeat, this is a farewell Jolla. As I will not pay 1) for repair 2) definately never ever a device like this again!
