After the last update, done yesterday (30/08/2021), the telephone is failing to boot. It is stuck on PINE 64's screen.
I tried using the solution proposed here: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10130 (See below)
Differently from what is said there, the "Installing update" screen never appears. Instead, I get a screen that says "Awaiting command" and UBPorts logo / robot.
Using the commands described on that thread does reboot the phone, but it only takes me back to the PINE 64's screen.
Thank you.
Best regards,

PS: These are the instructions I followed:
- Use a USB A-C cable to plug your phone into your PC
- Hold the PinePhone's power button for 4 seconds or more to power it off.
- Wait 5 seconds
- Hold the Volume Up and Power buttons on the PinePhone to boot into recovery. You should see the LED light red, then yellow, then green. The "Installing update" screen will appear, but a progress bar to indicate update progress will not. Ignore the "Installing update" part.
- Your PC may automatically mount the PinePhone's partitions. If it does, Safely Remove or Eject all of them.
- Open a terminal on your PC. Type
telnet 172.16.42.1
- You should receive the text 'Welcome to Rescue SD Shell!'
- In the new Rescue SD shell, type
umount /dev/mmcblk2p10; e2fsck -fy /dev/mmcblk2p10 && sync
- Once this command pipeline finishes, type
sync && reboot -f
