topic: recovery of broken Jolla1
some details about the topic: as described in Jolla1 does not start anymore my J1 recently broke. Over USB the device shows up as modem after a while, recovery mode does not help. Jolla support said “ask community for help”, but to my knowledge no public information is available on how to go on from this stage. Given that the device is out of warranty and (commercially) useless, I would welcome if some more information on low level access to the device could be made available, e.g. how to access the low level bootloader, maybe dump the flash. Also things like “these are the wires you could connect $magic_device to read the low level flash” or something like that would be appreciated. Target audience: experienced developers, i.e. people that know how to operate a terminal, dd and the like and how to operate a TTL serial converter
