Broken shift6mq phone - oops I did it again...

TL;DR Be very careful with qbootctl because it can brick your phone. The long story: I’ve a shift6mq shift-phone running postmarketOS and Android in a dual boot (slot A/B) setup. Sometime in December, I had an appointment with my doctor for an annual checkup. I wanted to pay my doctor with my smartphone (Payconiq/Android), so it was time to switch my phone back to Android. Instead of pressing the volume up key during the reboot (to switch to the bootloader), I ran my bootB sxmo user script. #!/bin/sh sxmo_terminal.sh /bin/sh -c ' doas qbootctl -s b sleep 1 doas qbootctl -m b sleep 1 doas qbootctl sleep 10 doas reboot ' I should have deleted this user script, because it bricked my phone before. And yes, also now my phone was bricked again… I’m stupid ;) EDL backup Since I had an EDL backup of my phone, I tried to fix the problem with EDL. No matter what I tried, it didn’t work. Back to Germany (dec 2025) I ended up sending my phone back to SHIFT GmbH Support/Reparatur to get it flashed…
