[Q]Help! Soft-bricked NEXUS 5. Needs access to internal storage

lgm said:

Hi everyone,

I was on 4.4.2 and wanted to update to 4.4.3. Since I installed Xposed and the OTA package wouldn't install even after I uninstalled the framework, I opted for the factory image. I used the flash_all script that came with the image file and now my phone is stuck at the dancing colors.

Now I think I can probably get the phone to work again is I do a factory reset but I don't want to lose the file on the internal sdcard.

Is there anyway to backup the files on the internal storage?

I've tried ADB but it doesn't list my device either in bootloader or with the phone off or stuck at the dancing colors.

ADB does list my device in recovery mode with the "apply update from ADB" option, but I can't do a adb pull from there. It says:

error: closed.

Any idea?

I did? The command in the flash script is

Code:

fastboot.exe -w update image-hammerhead-ktu84m.zip

and from what i can tell from the output it didn't flash userdata.img

Would that mean my files on the internal /sdcard is still in tact?
