903362 - Bricked Keon after upgrading from 1.0.1 to 1.1 with user data

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Anthony Ricaud (:rik)]

When trying to upgrade with the builds available on http://downloads.geeksphone.com/, my phone was unusable. It got stuck on the blue FxOS screen. I couldn't see anything relevant in logcat.

If I wipe my user data, then I can use 1.1.

I haven't (yet) tried on another device so that might not be a problem but still filing in case this is widespread.

Anthony: In order to try to reproduce this, can you let us know which 1.1 build you were on before you tried to update to the latest 1.1 build? Or did you flash the phone and then answer yes to the question about keeping your data?  Thanks.

With an existing Keon with a 1.0.1 build on it, I downloaded the latest 1.1 build and flashed it on the device.

I see the phone bricked as well if I answer "yes" the first time. If I answer "no" when I tried to reflash I still see a black screen after briefly seeing the Geeksphone logo (this was after a battery pull). The phone is still recognized in adb.

Since this message comes up when flashing, is there a known issue with keeping data?

Do you want to keep your user data ? (Some users has problems in first reboot, if you have, please reflash and select not to keep the data)
1) Yes
2) No

Removing qawanted per comment 2 - we've confirmed a reproduction on Geeksphone. Note that we test OTA updates from 1.01 to 1.1 on other target devices commonly right now, so this is likely device specific.

Just performed an upgrade of my Peak from 1.0.1 to 1.1, and logcat shows:

Dunno if it's related to the issue that Anthony saw.

Nominating leo? since fabrice noticed that this code is the root of the reported logcat, https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/apps/src/Webapps.jsm#423 and there is no reason this would only hit Keon :)

Given the use of Keon as a dev phone and the low risk fix, blocking.
