REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
OS VERSION: 4.5.0.19
HARDWARE: Xperia 10 II
UI LANGUAGE: English
REGRESSION: no, AFAIK
DESCRIPTION:
on recovery boot image:
- the
sshd
does not work because root password is not set as supposed to be; - the factory reset does not work because the scripts are not updated for Xperia 10 II;
- the
fsck
is based onBusiybox
1.3.4 which requires its extensions but partially installed because only.minix
extension is present which is useless (cfr. UPDATE #1); - notice about telnet 10.42.66.66 is written to small to be read by an average human;
- the recovery image is not supposed to stay in recovery mode forever but reboot the standard SFOS after a timeout without receiving the first telnet connection;
- even better if the recovery image would NOT boot in recovery mode unless a hardware key is pressed at boot time (volume down key?) or even better unless the phone is connected to an USB cable during the reboot (this makes even more sense).
PRECONDITIONS:
Have flashed into boot_a
and boot_b
the hybris-recovery.img
image.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- satisfy the preconditions above
- reboot your smartphone
- enjoy the recovery mode
EXPECTED RESULT:
Many but few delivered
ACTUAL RESULT:
That image is near to be useless and BTW available only after flashing the boot partitions with fastboot
MODIFICATIONS:
none
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
I cannot read this:
but using an ASCII art generator service it would be much easier to read and no particular changes will be required (work smart, not hard).

About root
:recovery
login on SSH
, it is enough that a system starting script set the password with the passwd
command or set the right string into /etc/shadow
and /etc/shadow-
, just in case.
