Now trying the flashing again only gets this far and then the phone goes to an endless boot loop:
Flash utility v1.2
Detected Linux
Searching device to flash..
Found XQ-DC54, serial:XXXX, baseband:68.1.A.2.187, bootloader:6375-0005_X_Boot_SM6375_LA2.0_T_16
Found matching device with serial XXXX
Fastboot command: fastboot -s XXXX
>> fastboot -s XXXX getvar secure
<< secure: no
>> fastboot -s XXXX reboot fastboot
I tried holding the volume up button down to help the phone get back to the fastboot mode while it was looping which breaks the loop:
Rebooting into fastboot OKAY [ 0.003s]
< waiting for XXXX>
fastboot: error: Failed to boot into userspace fastboot; one or more components might be unbootable.
Flashing failed (1)
Any ideas how I could get the flashing to finish properly?
Yes, I already read that -didn’t solve my problem.
Trying to run the commands one-by-one gives these errors:
# fastboot -s XXXX flash userdata sailfish.img001

5.0.0.62? I’m fresh off of installing .62 on a 10 V running Android 13 (un-upgraded since last year’s spring) by the linked instructions and everything went well for me and my Sailfish OS is up and running. Can the latest 14 contribute to the issue?
Yes, my first attempt was with Sailfish_OS-Jolla-5.0.0.62-xqdc54-1.0.0.39 and when that didn’t work out I also tried the Sailfish_OS-Jolla-4.6.0.15-xqdc54-1.0.0.25.
I think upgradfing to the latest Android 14 (installing all the available updates) might be the culprit here.
I’m not sure it’s possible to downgrade now that the phone is in this boot loop. At least it’s still booting to fastboot…
Are you using using an USB3 port for flashing? I can’t remember the specifics, but that is a thing that can cause some issues in some circumstances. USB2 should be safe.
