Rephone (Gigaset GS5/Volla22) won't boot anymore
-
Hi,
I have a rephone and tried to install vollaos by ubports-installer. Ubports-installer "said" Installation went well, but now the smartphone does not boot anymore. No recovery mode and no fastboot mode. tried everything, no chance. sp-flash tool detects chip MT6768, but I need firmware for rephone or for Gigaset GS5 . I can’t find it on the web. Firmware for Volla 22 does not contain the urgently needed scatter.txt. need help:anguished_face: :anxious_face_with_sweat: :astonished_face: -
@flinke-vent I am having the exact same issue. I used ubport-installer 0.10.0 on a Rephone and all I get is a white charging LED. No vibrations on longpresses, no fastboot, no nothing. Where did I mess up? I tried it with Volla22 wich should work on Rephone accoring to this: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/volla-installation-guide/16658

What you need are the files you can use with MTK flashing tool, which are different from files needed with UBP installer (not only scatter file is important here).
Sadly, that's not Hallowelt that will give it to you, they only give those files to Volla devices purchasers that need to restore bricked devices.
Your only hope is someone that purchased V22 phone and that had a bricking issue and got those files, willing to give those to you.
Volla devices have different partitioning than their Gigaset twins, which lead to the issue you have when trying to install UT on it with UBP installer.
Maybe ask for help on sailfish forum in meantime, installing UT for Volla on GS5 or alike is not supported for some reasons here.
@lispy
I see you asked for help on it.
And from what I understand you tried to install UT directly on your device, when on the sailfish forum, they tell to install Volla OS first.
But even, what works for installing Sailfish, may not for installing UT. -
@Keneda Wow, thanks for the great answer. This is really messy. I am pretty shocked how bad everything gets once you leave the area of Opensource.
Nevertheless, I will try to contact these guys, they reflash Volla Firmware on Volla.
They should have what is needed to restore a rephone with Volla OS, although it's not listed on their services page. But maybe, just maybe I can convince them.

@flinke-vent , is this an original Volla Phone or a Gigaset Device, cause its not allowed to flash non original Volla Devices with VollaOS (EULA) ?
-
@Luzeruz said in Rephone (Gigaset GS5/Volla22) won't boot anymore:
cause its not allowed to flash non original Volla Devices
Here is open source world, where user liberty is MANDATORY.
If some entity wants to restrain user liberty, then user should dump it to the void.What a user that flash a GS5 with UT or VollaOS should not hope is support from Volla, but Volla has no interest in forbid anything to anyone.
Ubports installer allow to flash any device with any software, and it is like that on purpose.
Some people that want récent hardware with UT on it don't have the money to afford a 450€ V22.
Any Volla 22 is a Gigaset GS5 with specific skin, specific codename, and specific partitioning.
I bought GS5 Lite phones (running Android) for almost all my family, those are GS5 less glossy and more cheap (170€), and are very good devices for very good price, made in Germany.
