None. And that is in spite of massive attempts over the 20th century, including some of the first applications of computers to a problem of this nature. The conclusion drawn from this lack of progress is that the corpus is simply too small for decipherment and/or we lack any surviving relatives for the language that the script recorded.

What kind of corpus do we have? Is it largely fragmented segments with a few symbols?
