Can you get into fastboot? Did you try the restore tool?

crisis averted. extracted files from above post and fastbooted them via my linux machine. must be the fastest to ever soft brick a device. mods if you would like to close please do.

Looking for Rogers Streak build 7921

Does anyone have either a nandroid backup or an update.pkg of the stock rogers build? I have looked around and no one seems to have it.
Thanks
Sorry to hi-jack, but I would really appreciate to have this ROM.
Please help!
Sorry again, I got my phone yesterday and it is now stuck at the Dell Logo, I tried almost everything, I would really need what the OP is asking.
Please help us...

seems to work
I tried flashing the boot.img, system.img ans recovery.img with FastBoot. Still stuck at the Dell Logo.
Can somebody explain me how to restore using Nandroid, I don't know where to put the files "goodpill" just provided, Nandroid always say "Can't find MISC" and not able to find my files.
Sorry for all these questions.
Regards
you extract the folder you just downloaded to the clockworkmod\backup directory on your sd card and launch nandroid on the device and choose that folder to restore from
Hi Again,
Thanks a lot for your help, I am using Clockworkmod v1.8.1.7 and did exactly what you just said about the folders on the sd card, and still not luck, Nandroid say "Can't find MISC" and "No File Found"
Is this the correct path?
SD-root\clockworkmod\backup
Thanks again

Ok sorry for last post, I figure out my mistake. Now I am able to point to the files you provided in the previous post and start the restore procedure, after I get this error.
Erasing Boot before restore...
Error while formating BOOT:!
Can somebody help me please.
Regards
I also have the same error when I try to format "system"
Erasing Boot before restore...
Error while formating BOOT:!
Erasing System before restore...
Error while formating SYSTEM:!
Can this be related to the fact my Streak is not rooted?
Please help.
i am not sure what the problem is, did you install fastboot and clockworkbackup?
are you rooted with androot (not sure if this is necessary)
did you try the factory reset and start over routine?

Please help! Bricked???

Ok, I'm very much a novice to modding, and out of frustration of being unable to fix a problem I was having with my N7 (CM10.1), I formatted /sdcard, /system, /cache and /data partitions through ClockworkMod, thinking the problem would just be wiped with all that data. Well I think I messed up big time. I thought I'd be able to just restore my tablet to it's original state after all that was wiped, but now I don't have anything to flash! (duh, I wiped the whole damn thing.)
Please, please, someone tell me there's a way to get my N7 working again! Am I missing something in CW Recovery that just resets it back to brand new? If not, is there a way I can transfer a zip to the /sdcard partition to flash? Maybe using USB OTG? I have an OTG dongle. Please help!
Thank you in advance.
AW: Please help! Bricked???
if u can go into fastboot mode you should be fine as u should be able to flash a factory image from google
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Live and learn. For future reference, formatting /data also wipes your emulated sd card. What you should have done instead was select Factory Reset. This would wipe /data while leaving /data/media untouched.
Anyway, like naien said, all you need to do is fastboot flash a stock image. It's quick, easy, and painless.
Have you tried to use this guide : [GUIDE] Flashing a Factory Image with fastboot / return to stock
Thank you guys sooo much for your help!!! I followed the guide you posted for me,philos64, and I was able to get my N7 back to stock and working again! You have no idea how relieved I am. :laugh: :good:

It'd be much better if you did this here, that way the solution is available for others to find, that's pretty much the entire point of the Q&A section. I'm confident it's just a case of selecting the wrong partitions to backup anyway.

The solution i used when i incorrectly updated vendor image and then tried to restore old system image and vendor image was to use Nexus Tool kit by wugs fresh to flash back to stock while keeping internal card intact. Then flash the rom you were on with correct vendor image in TWRP 3.0.0.0 and then restore your twrp backup without the vendor image etc and boom should be back to normal. At least that is what worked for me. What should you backup and restore? I back up everything and restore everything but vendor stuff. any suggestions?

That seems over-complicated. You only need to backup/restore system, data, and boot. Vendor is optional if you have Layers that you want to keep. Don't backup/restore system image or vendor image. That's the reason he got into this mess, be backed up and restored system image. I posted the solution a couple of posts back.
okay so i tried to recover Data System Boot, still didn't work. so i remove everything including twrp and installed stock rom. and then i installed twrp 3.0 and somehow it worked and my device is back on

No problem man glad it worked!!
I had the same problem.
I tried to restore a backup (MMB29Q - system+data+boot, done after installing the last factory image without root) and I got blocked on the Google logo. I tried twice without managing.
In the end I solved the problem installing supersu v2.68 zip before restarting.
It's as though the restore needs the root to work properly.
What do you think?
Thanks.
Hello everyone! I bring news from the TWRP developers from the #TWRP IRC channel! TWRP 3.0.2-1 has a fatal bug! If you backup and restore EFS it will brick you! Do not backup and restore EFS on 3.0.2-1! Use 3.0.2-0 instead! This has already been fixed in the newer builds!
If you have been bricked you NEED to Erase the EFS partitions and that will fix it immediately.
For the Nexus 6P go to TWRP. Then on PC Open Command Prompt with access to ADB ( Android Debug Bridge) and execute the following commands:
ADB shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/modemst1 bs=16384
and
ADB Shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/modemst2 bs=16384
This should fix it for ANY Nexus 6P users. Users on other phones with the same problem await instructions!

Help needed! Firmeware CAN-L11 EU Version

Hello,
i need help. I messed up my phone while trying to repair my only read mode system partition after boot.
Current state:
Phone CAN-L11 with EU Firmeware and working TWRP Recovery.
I did a full wipe, but have no data partition to restore, because this couldn´t be saved with twrp while i made my first nand backups during no read access to data partition.
My phone always shows 2 times the huawei logo and then boot in erecovery from huawei where i tried to restore, but it shows always "fail to get data" (wifi works).
When i restore all partitions backups that i own via twrp i miss the data partition (is the cause why it wont boot - isn´t it?)
Now i searched for any img that i can use to get my phone working again - anyone has a tip what img i could use (i have a huawei update extractor) - through twrp or fastboot.
Could anyone help me with a twrp backup or a img file of data partition - or has another tip how to get my phone working again?
Thanks for tips!

I think that you need a system.img, so you can flash. This system imagem would write everything you need, so you can boot normally.
Have you tried to dowload @bluesmoothie backup from dropbox from the Root and Recovery post?

Here the full Backup for the CAN-L11:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B134drJ4-Ed0R3VSY3A5NGpjVWc
Format /data, reboot recovery and than restore from backup. After the restore is complete make a wipe.
I restored my system from twrp (original first save). But that did not help.
After that i loaded the can-L11c432 update.zip from huawei and extracted with others the system.img - that also did not help to boot.
Tomorrow i flashed the orignal recovery.img from c432 but i did not find an update.zip wich works to manually flash in stock recovery.
@Vinnom the link you shared leads to twrp.img (no system.img).

@merlin21 yes it sounds like my problem after I tried to flash the emui5 beta.
My phone is fully working again with the backup I posted.
This is not the Chinese version, if nothing works, you can try the caz ROM. But there are massive problems with the gapps, they are not included in the rom.

i just flashed the twrp.img with fastboot from xelfmade v22.12. and then rebooted twrp.
Then formated data and confirmed with yes - rebooted recovery and tried to restore your twrp. It did not restore and aborted instantly with the error message

extractTarFork() proecess ended with ERROR: 255
what could that be?
IT WORKS! Thanks @murph... I had to use the cust from my backup, but with your data partition it successfully booted again. Locking forward if i now have still the problem with read only system partition. I am away setting up phone again (and of course rooting, modifying etc.. but FIRST do a full backup after basic setup and safe in PC !!!)
Thanks!
P.S. how did you manage to back up data partition in recovery? I thought this wouldn't be possible?! What is the cost for having this full working twrp?
PPS. Somehow knock on screen for screenshot does not work - could be, that i have to log in with huawei id... does it work for you morp?

I copied the backup, which is linked somewhere in this thread, to my sdcard and restored it on my Nova using twrp. The extractfork issue showed up while restoring '/cust' so i disselected cust in the restoring menu. After that the restoring worked and my nova was able to boot.
Hope this is any help to you.

That didn't do the trick for a while, or I might have forgotten a step, but deselecting CUST did the trick.
Thanks for the tip!
Although, maybe flashing the Cust partition I found in one of the two upgrade zips via fastboot might have helped? I dunno...
But in short, for those who haven't followed through, here's what I did, but I'm not sure this is why it worked:
1. Bricked my device : be sad;
2. DLed all the posted Nandroid backup on this thread and others;
3. With fastboot, reflashed TWRP from Xelfmade using "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img";
4. Flashed the CUST.img I found in the UPDATE.APP of the update_data_full_CAN-L11_hw_eu.zip; or maybe the other, only one of the two seem to have it; I extracted it using Huawei Firmware Extractor; using "fastboot flash cust cust.img";
5. Created a "fake" backup to create the right folder structure on my SD (TWRP Couldn't see the backups) and put the Nandroid Backups I DLed earlier in it;
6. Reboot in TWRP and Restore all partitions except CUST;
7. Reboot, sweat, wait, cry, roll on the floor in fear, heard the huawei startup sound, cried as if it was my first born child;
8. Setup the fone and profit; then enjoy Nova goodness;
92.324. and probably most important, TWRP BAAAACKUUUUP!!!!!
All done!

Frankly, I don't know. I had not modified the partitions prior to bricking my phone, so I think the partitioning was OK. However, I think one of the TWRP availble in this forum can format Data partition properly, which would utlimately allow you to select which File Format you want. I haven't tried it myself, and I haven't been able to do much with TWRP since I flashed Lineage unfortunately. Most of my Mods were just upgrading and I had to ADB Sideload pretty much everything since I flashed Lineage...
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful than that!

TWRP's different backup option - restoring all of them

Been struggling with a TWRP restore gone wrong for over a week now.
TWRPs today have many options for backup, a lot of which I couldn't find info online.
Usually I backup only Boot, Data and System.
But tend to make a first backup after installing TWRP with all options included.
On the Galaxy S10+ there are:
Baseband
Boot
Cache
Data (excl. storage)
EFS
Product
Product Image
System
System Image
Vendor
Vendor Image
Recently I was restoring several backups and restored this first backup with all options included.
Since, the phone boots and is stuck on the boot screen.
I can still boot into TWRP.
Can someone please help me understand how to solve this? :fingers-crossed:
I run LineageOS 17.1 with ianmacd TWRP, rooted with Magisk.
Can I solve this through TWRP?
Will flashing stock firmware through Odin is the only option? Or an option that will solve this at all?
Also if someone can detail what the different option are, that would be amazing!
If you can't restore another backup, then yeah it looks like you will have to use Odin.
Managed to get back to the ROM eventually.
If anyone can share info about the different options and what they actually are/do - will be very appreciated!

These do exactly what the name suggests. I don't think there is much to explain. Usually you would only backup /Data and /System partitions, eventually /Boot and /Vendor.
