@MichielP80 I hoped someone who could read a log better than me would pick this up, but as that has not happened I take the role of prophet of doom and say
Wait.
@clacri thank you for making that link.
@Jan_E I was so pleased to hear that you took the “return to sender” route.
This post has been “curated” from several posts where there was a run of serious brickings or near brickings of GS290.
This post started during that problem, and offered some solutions at that time.
I will just take this opportunity to point to https://doc.e.foundation/devices/GS290/install which includes a link.
Download Android 10 firmware
There is no documentation on this wiki to say the source of this firmware.
Any documentation of the success of the above “Download Android 10 firmware” would be very much appreciated.
EDIT The reported success of this firmware is here, but note that it is with a very specific method.
- We ran this test on the openSuse Leap 15.2
- Download latest SP Flash Tool
There is a user report of successful recovery, using the above method here.
Gigaset have told me that there is no openly published Factory ROM. For this reason, I take any failure to flash a GS290 first time very seriously.
