thank you! I wanted to say at this point I have the phone completely disassembled , and yes I am pretty new to the world of linux. I currently have four different machines running different distributions of linux, so I will attempt to restart the process of following the instructions on one of them. I appreciate your offer to help, unfortunately I am not in Switzerland 
thank you for being willing to do a video call I greatly appreciate that offer !! I will attempt to follow the instructions again and reach out to you if I get stuck
