I was trying to install google play store and have managed to start deleting content inside /opt/alien without having removed the Android support from my device.
I decided to go for a factory reset since my device goes as far as booting, showing the Jolla logo, the logo the disappears and after that it shuts down. I am assuming that it will try to start the Android services which are obviously now corrupt.
I used the factory restore process via telnet, however at some point I have set a lock code which I no longer remember since I have disabled the device locking from the settings and I was not using the lock function at all. However the device was remembering the lock code and asked for it during the restore process. I tried several potential numbers and ended up using all my five tries. Now the device is locked for 24hrs.
I have contacted jolla care already as I assume I will probably have to ship the device for flashing and will probably give another try to some possible codes I might have used tomorrow.
In the meantime I was wondering if there is any other way to access the file system and restore opt/alien files, or any other ideas??
Also I am open to any other suggestions.
