I wanted to install the new Ubutnu Touch update this morning but as I had to reboot the phone there was a massege like "This device needs to be restored from a PC" So i tried to connect it to my PC but this didn't worked. I tried to restart the phone again. This time it only shows me a screen with "bq powered by ubuntu" . I am waiting for over 40 minutes now but nothing more happends.

What can i do now to reset my phony ?

  • if you're happy to factory reset, this answer covers you: http://askubuntu.com/questions/602035/how-do-i-use-ubuntu-device-flash-with-the-bq-aquaris-e4-5-and-aquaris-e5/602037 – John McAleely Jun 16 '15 at 22:00
  • You can use other options with ubuntu-device-flash if you want to attempt to preserve your userdata. – John McAleely Jun 16 '15 at 22:00
  • Are you set up in developer mode, and have used apt-get update? That's been long a dangerous path with OTA updates, and it seems this OTA has finally caused a severe problem with this practice. – John McAleely Jun 16 '15 at 22:01

This is just to say you're not the only one... It happened to me too yesterday as soon as I saw the update was available. At this point you cannot just reset your phone, what you need is to re-install ubuntu-touch (at least that's what it sounds like from your description). I cannot speak from experience because I don't have the time to bring mine back to life, but here are all the instructions on how to do this:
