Same thing here : Recovery Mode is not accessible via "telnet 10.42.66.66"
The following freshly flashed “Vanha Rauma” releases won’t provide access to the device’s recovery mode:
■ SFOS release 4.4.0.68 on SONY XQAU52
■ SFOS release 4.4.0.72 on SONY XQAU52
Device is not accessible after “hybris-recovery”-flashes from the “Sailfish_OS-Jolla-4.4.0.68-xqau52-0.0.2.119.zip” or “Sailfish_OS-Jolla-4.4.0.72-xqau52-0.0.2.152.zip” packages.
The device stucks at the white-SONY-on-black-screen-logo.
Interestingly, recovery mode is accessible flashing “hybris-recovery” from the “Sailfish_OS-Jolla-4.1.0.24-xqau52-0.0.1.43.zip”-package. Due to time reasons I have not checked with the releases in between.
Flashing once again “hybris-recovery” from the “Sailfish_OS-Jolla-4.4.0.68-xqau52-0.0.2.119.zip” or “Sailfish_OS-Jolla-4.4.0.72-xqau52-0.0.2.152.zip” packages does not show any “RECOVERY: Connect USB cable and open telnet to address 10.42.66.66” message after booting past the “unlocked boot loader”-Warning and the white-SONY-on-black-screen-logo.
Access to Recovery Mode is essential. The availability should really be testet prior any release. Thanks for fixing it !
