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 is the link, in case you don't find it https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qrk0fbpn5rnukxn/AAAmhFwBTNoqq0sWfCH-VMHLa?dl=0

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).
@-=MoRpH=- thanks, i will try and report back. Is this anyway a chinese version in there? I think i have the same struggle you had days back. Is your phone completely working again?
So sick that my phone did not work. Now working with my "old" LG G2...
I report back later - first family dinner

Inside the folder twrp and its subfolders there it is system.img. I'm downloading it myself.

@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
during restoreing cust...
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?

That only work if the is not rooted... Idk whats up with that, but for now i use the quicksetting screenshot function.
Somehow it worked with my rooted device before. Must be the decrypted data partition?
With the recovery of your backup I could not access data or change memory from data to sd. What version do you use?
I flashed xelfmades v22 and now have rw access and could backup all partitions and restore. Root and xposed modules everything works, just the knock on screen to capture don't...

May I ask how?
I'm kinda stuck personnaly. I have tried both Nand backups but no cigar. Still can't boot. I had the Data issue which I managed to get rid of.
I still end up with a ExtTarFork 255 kind of error. I tried to change the files attributes via adb shell, but it failed so I've got an OS-Less phone...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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!
Thanks for your help my phone is saved with your method!!!
i downgraded my MLA-L03 variant with this, but now im stuck in french language with no other languages to choose from

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!
He guys,
This is in relation to the other thread I just posted, mods can go ahead and delete that one, but anyhow I'm not getting any cell signal when I follow the steps listed here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/development/stock-firmware-npn25-137-67-5-fastboot-t3694738
I'm trying different versions of the stock firmware but have no luck on getting signal. My phone is an XT1687
Everything else seems to be working properly: sound, bluetooth, and my APN is automatically detected.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I looked into it further: the IMEI number is missing from the software. It's stuck at 0. Any help? Thanks!

now i am in Pixel Experience without VoLte
any help...
before my phone was hardbricked....model number XT1686
Probably already been said, but first, flash Pixel experience, then backup efs in recovery (just efs). Wipe system, cache, and data. Flash stock rom, then restore efs, and reboot.
If you are on stock
make a nandroid backup(without efs)
wipe everything and flash an oreo rom
reboot into bootloader and type in command window:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot reboot (now you have signal and LTE working)
reboot into recovery and wipe all again
restore your backup
reboot and you have signal with LTE working (no VoLTE)
how do you flash persist.img, wifi is messed up, lost mac address and i need to reflash persist.img but i dont know how

Hello,
If you don't see "Persist" partition as a partition choice in TWRP, it means you can't easily flash "Persist" partition in your actual TWRP version (for security reason...).

Hi all! I was trying to flash new MIUI 11 and after some flash my Wifi won't turn on!
I read about it on internet and tried to flash persist.img (Fastboot flash ROM doesn't flash this file)
I tried this comand:
dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27
and also
dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p26
Reboot and now my Wifi is working, but camera not! The popup camera makes strange noise and tell me that can't be reclosed.
Please, how can i restore those partitions? Can someone backup your mmcblk0p27 and mmcblk0p26 and send to me?
PLEASE!
UPDATE: I did the calibration for popup camera, now it pops out and retract but it make a strange noise again
flash stock fastboot rom
Seriously !!
remove this and post it in the appropriate section.

Hello, good day, you need to flash persit.img on TWRP, the problem is with all roms, including the rom stock, the solution for me was to flash persit.img through TWRP on xiaomi.eu with miui 11, this after of installing xiaomi.eu.
Attention guys,
Reflashing persist will break your Widevine L1 permanently!

Just boot into twrp if you have one, I use this one and it works fine for me at least on AOSP ROMs and the persist backup and restore https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TSGqgarTA8yDfH0KUYSgZkGyRA_qm_vF/view
Then select backup and then select the persist partition or if you want to back up everything you can . Back it up to your internal storage then after copy it to your pc or any form of storage you have so if anything goes wrong with the persist partition just copy it back and restore it.

Ok glad I could hel,if you didn't have that back the only solution will be to flash the persist image from the fastboot ROM , and that will also break you windvine L1. So always keep a back up of the persist partition some where, because this phones persist partition gets corrupted a lot if you like flashing ROMs.
