        After OTA 23 install my E5 shows black screen. On restart I only get a the normal bootup screen for a few seconds, but then it turns black. Anyone else having this?

          @enzlinux2 Can you hold the power button until it restarts? Unfortunately it is a bug in OTA-25.

              @enzlinux2 Hold
              power button and volume +
              until restart. I did it and it's ok.

                When I do that I get a menu to choose from:

                • Recovery gives me a permanent purple screen with Ubuntu on it, nothing happens after that.
                • Fastboot does nothing.
                • Normal boot gives me the startup screen again and after that black....

                  @enzlinux2 Try
                  power and volume -
                  until restart.

                  Edit : I started my BQ several times after turning it off. I found myself once again with the black screen. Power and Volume - solved the problem again.

                  So we can say that indeed the boot for OTA-25 on the BQ E5 HD (BQ 4.5 ?) is not completely reliable.

                    After a lot of trying somehow after a reboot from the factory default menu the device came up with OTA-25, all settings saved. Very slow for the first few minutes but now it seems okay. Thanks a lot for your help!
