So, it seems my phone suffered one of those sudden, nasty “hiccups” we read about here, sometimes. I dunno how relevant it might be, definitely ironic, I was reinstalling MyBackup on my phone, when it froze. After that, it was only the dreaded Sony logo boot loop and nothing else.
Therefore I thought about the recovery mode; I followed the instructions here, and then those here.
I telnet into my phone, I get to the shell, but when I get to input my security-code/passphrase, what I get is a scary “no key”…
/ # cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sailfish/home recover
Enter passphrase for /dev/sailfish/home:
No key available with this passphrase.
Please, any suggestions would be sooo welcome! (Because obviously all of my things are in the phone, I can’t do without them, my lasy backup was in the Middle Ages, etc…)
Just to be clear: I understand the passphrase be the same number sequence used to unencrypt the phone after turning it on (white dots, black background), right? And, I am pretty sure I am giving the correct sequence in (been using the same for too long, and both for encryption and screen lock), that’s why I am desperate.
PS
In the meanwhile I also exited the telnet connection a couple of times, both through option #2 reboot, and #6 exit, and something odd (to me, at least) is that phone reboots in recovery mode.
