Even if the OTA goes live, I'm not sure how you might get it on a phone
if you can't interact with it.

You have two choices:

 - update the phone manually from an attached ubuntu desktop

 - Use the handset's factory reset proceedure.

The first is well covered by our developer documentation. Simply
reflashing to the current image with --wipe will reset the brightness to
a sensible value (and wipe all your other data)

The second would be hold down 'volup' + power. When the machine starts
rebooting (~10 sec) a red led lights, and you should release just the
power button.

You will eventually be presented with a menu. follow the on-screen
instructions to select recovery.

When the ubuntu logo appears, use 'Volup' again to get a menu of
options. One of which is 'factory reset'.

Title:
  brigtness slider should not allow total darkness

Status in the base for Ubuntu mobile products:
  Fix Released
Status in indicator-power package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  bq aquaris 4.5, Utopic Unicorn 20150312-002053:
  slider allows to minimize the brightess to the point of not seeing at all.
  Even if you manage to reboot (you don't see the confirmation dialogue) you still have completly dark display which effectively "bricks" the phone (no battery removal) unless you are patient enought to blindly try and hit long time enough to increase the brigtness again.
