So worst comes to worst, it would be possible to open the PineTime. We're not quite there yet, but people have been able to successfully open sealed devices.

P64ProtocolBot: [D] <Geekboy1011> It sounds like he is making it into the infintime recovery firmware (good!) but gadgetbridge is not seeing the watch. Which can happen when its paired to the device as it ignore paired devices
The fact you are seeing _something_ is apparently a good sign.
So the suggestion here is to remove all pairing in your phone. I would suggest the following:
1. Remove the PineTime from any Bluetooth pairing.
2. Fully power off your phone (this ensures GadgetBridge and Bluetooth are cleared of any state on your phone).
3. Restart phone.
4. Long-press the PineTime to reset it.
5. Start GadgetBridge and attempt to pair (you may need to turn on Bluetooth again).
Please get back to us with the results.
Hah! That seems to have worked, after a fashion. Despite being unresponsive on the Infinitime screen, after removing the watch device from GadgetBridge and restarting, I was able to connect to the watch (it remained otherwise unresponsive), and I updated it with the 1.6.0 release of InfiniTime successfully. With a reboot, the watch appears to be working again. It seems I successfully validated the 1.6.0 firmware (at least that's what the watch is reporting) - many thanks! Pinetime resurrected!
