I was following the instructions from https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021620740.
EDIT/2024: The document is currently here: Recovery Mode | Sailfish OS Documentation.
- Disconnect the USB cable from Xperia 10 II
- Turn the phone OFF
- Force your Xperia 10 II or Xperia 10 III to the fastboot mode:
- ensure that the LED at the top of the display area is lit in BLUE colour
I get to
sudo fastboot flash boot_a hybris-recovery.img
sudo fastboot flash boot_b hybris-recovery.img
sudo fastboot reboot
- ensure that the LED at the top of the display area is lit in BLUE colour
Afterwards the Phone is stuck in a reboot loop, and does not show the expected “RECOVERY: Connect USB cable and open telnet to address 10.42.66.66” at the top.
Tried with Linux and Windows. I always get to the “(sudo) fastboot reboot” part. Device reboots but does not display the recovery mode.
Tried recovery image from 4.3.0.15 and 4.4.0.58. Is there a possibility to get older releases?
I would like to avoid re-flashing the device, but I’m starting to think this may be my only option.
Anything I’m doing wrong or hints/tips you can give me?
