PPP not booting/starting anymore - JonnJonz - 08-08-2023

Good morning,

After months of not looking about the phone I am try to bring it back to life. Hopefully someone has a good idea.

After the last update (KDE Plasma 5.25.80, last year?) the phone is bricked. Seems the UID/display driver is corrupted, plasma was squeezing the entire UID into the ~15-20% of the (top) display. With that nearly impossible to use the phone anymore.

But that is not my topic currently, not possible to start/boot the phone anymore. PPP refused charging the battery, I am using a 2.4A charger. Nothing happened after couple of days. Bought now an external battery charger from Pine, so the battery is fully charged.

Can not start/boot (without or with a SD card), nothing happened. But seems the phone is not completely dead, I can see a white mouse pointer (on a black display) after maybe 10 seconds after I presses the "On"-button. Can move the pointer around but not more.

Any ideas? Many thanks to the community ;-)

It looks like that the phone is booting but there is something wrong with your current installation.

No worries, easy to fix. Check this message.
