I realize that yesterday it was exactly four years ago that I started the experiment to use the #Librem5 #Linux #phone as my daily phone.

I have been using it since then, and the software is being improved regularly and in a very transparent way.

Read here about the beginning of this experiment: janvlug.org/blog/one-week-libr

Would you be interested in a blog with an update of the current state of the Librem 5?

@janvlug I (soft?) bricked mine the other day when I took it out of the drawer, after a few years, and let it update itself via the PureOS package manager. #librem5 #pureos

@codo @janvlug It's not really brickable unless you physically damage it or lock it down with e-fuses.

@dos @janvlug What's the easiest/recommended way to unbrick it? It's in a reboot loop at the moment. The screen alternates between black and showing the boot Librem logo.

@codo @janvlug If you don't care about what's currently on the phone, you can just reflash it: docs.puri.sm/Hardware/Librem_5

If you do, there are ways to mount its filesystem over USB and investigate too.
