thanks for all your responses!
unfortunately the phone ran out of battery and now when i go to turn it on it has the NOKIA screen and it says "Malfunction! Device shutdown in 10s" and it just is in a restart loop so i can't ssh it

how would i go about flashing just the rootfs? or is it not possible in this state? i didnt get the chance to do a backup before it ran out and my last one is back before PR1.2
