3 years ago Actually, no worries. Did you first backup your device ? The command itself looks good to me, so normally there shouldn't be an issue. What do you mean by "broken" ? Is it black ? Does it reboot all the time ? If it's just black, then press and keep pressed vol up and power until it reboots.

3 years ago Hey @bkerler Actually, good news. I was mostly just being an idiot. What failed was the flashing of the recovery, but it didn't actually brick. I found out that I was able to boot normally after power cycling a couple of times. I did a regular factory reset from the stock OS when that happened and somehow this also restored the stock recovery. Meaning I was able to boot to recovery by holding asterisk and power-on.
So pretty much the phone is back to normal. But I'm still not sure how to proceed now. My only goal is to be able to remove stuff that is preinstalled.
And in my attempt at this, I got the error listed in the original issue. So;
Error writing /Users/jwktje/Downloads/recovery-8110.img to sector 2488416.
How can I go about fixing this? Am I using the wrong recovery IMG or should the 8110 be fine for the Nokia 6300 4G?
I'm able to get an ADB shell but not as root. So how do I precede from here? I thought the initial steps I was following were needed to root the phone to get a root shell which would allow me to change stuff. Or is this assumption wrong to begin with?

3 years ago I really wanna be able to make a distraction free phone. So I'm even willing to put up a bug bounty for this of $50. For anyone that can help me remove the unwanted apps on this phone.

3 years ago actually, you can use the pm manager to disable apps. of course the 8110 recovery WON'T work on the 6300, as it's a different device. For rooting the device, first unlock the device and then use for example magisk to modify the recovery/boot.

3 years ago I tried listing apps with PM over ADB but got this;
jwktje@Jan-Willems-MBP ~ % adb shell pm list
/system/bin/pm[6]: app_process: not foundDoes that mean I would need to root it first?

3 years ago Update. Using tag 3.0 in the VM seems to work!

3 years ago Just finished the entire guide successfully by using the 3.0 tag in a VM for the first phase, and finished the rest on OSX. Closing now
I tried flashing the recovery and it failed. And now the device is broken. 5 minutes after I got it out of the box. I was following this guide..
I knew I was taking this risk obviously, but now what? I would really appreciate any help! All I wanted was to get rid of Facebook and Whatsapp and other apps I don't need.
