That command is for Xperia X, Xperia XA2 and Xperia 10. But you have an Xperia 10 II, haven’t you?
The commands should be:

sudo fastboot flash boot_a hybris-recovery.img 
sudo fastboot flash boot_b hybris-recovery.img

as in this chapter.

sorry - that was a typo - the phone is a Xperia 10 - I4113.
I replaced it with a 10iii now - but may have a look if maybe i used a wrong tutorial or similar when i have some time.

I experienced a similar issue today while upgrading SailfishOS with sfos-upgrade 4.5.0.25 from 4.5.0.19 . I managed to connect the phone to an eth0 connection using a USB Ethernet adapter and re-ran sfos-upgrade --verify . From the logs, I understood the issue was due to insufficient space for completing the upgrade.

The situation got even stranger when I updated to 4.6.0.13 . Wi-Fi stopped working, and even after adjusting wpa_supplicant , I kept getting an “incorrect password” error. The phone became quite unresponsive, with multiple issues cropping up.

To resolve this, I used SSH from my laptop to set up a routine to automatically connect to eth0 , but I couldn’t directly connect the USB cable to the laptop. So, I created a service with the following script:

#!/bin/bash
# Sets static IP, gateway, and interface
IP_ADDRESS="192.168.1.23/24"
GATEWAY="192.168.1.1"
INTERFACE="eth0"

# Loop until the eth0 interface is available
while true; do
    if ip link show "$INTERFACE" > /dev/null 2>&1; then
        echo "Interface $INTERFACE found. Configuring connection..."

        # Configure IP address for the interface
        echo "Assigning IP $IP_ADDRESS to interface $INTERFACE..."
        ip addr add "$IP_ADDRESS" dev "$INTERFACE" || echo "Error assigning IP address"

        # Enable the interface
        echo "Activating interface $INTERFACE..."
        ip link set "$INTERFACE" up || echo "Error activating interface"

        # Set the default gateway
        echo "Setting gateway to $GATEWAY..."
        ip route add default via "$GATEWAY" || echo "Error setting gateway"

        # Verify interface configuration
        echo "Configuration complete:"
        ip addr show "$INTERFACE"
        ip route show

        echo "Connection configured on $INTERFACE."
        break
    else
        echo "Interface $INTERFACE not found. Retrying in 5 seconds..."
        sleep 5
    fi
done

Step 2: Creating a Service

To make this persistent, I set up a systemd service. I created a file in /etc/systemd/system/connection_ethernet.service :

[Unit]
Description=Run connection_ethernet.sh at startup
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/connection_ethernet.sh
Type=simple
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Step 3: Enabling and Starting the Service

I then enabled and started the service to check that it worked:

systemctl enable connection_ethernet.service
systemctl start connection_ethernet.service
systemctl status connection_ethernet.service

This approach worked; I was back online with SFOS, cleaned up some space, and successfully completed sfos-upgrade to 4.6.0.13 .

I think your formatting and translations broke quite badly. Use the formatting options - especially “preformatted text”.
