Bricked my phone. need cache.img for canvas a1

[puneetn91]

Hello guys, i ve been using this android one phone for a while now. and i ve done some kinky stuffs with for over 2 years now. yesterday while flashing new rom through philz recovery, i was wiping my cache and it stopped all of a sudden. The device just displayed the following command in the recovery<<attached screenshot image >> and no matter what i do, i was unable to perform any of the operations like wiping data, factory reset, or flash the rom. I was using marshmallow before.

so in a nexus thread i kinda found a fix for that. <<link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/help-nexus-5-bricked-clearing-cache-t2564509 >>.
so according to this thread if flash cache.img from the fastboot mode i can revive my phone.
Tell me guys, am i going in the right direction here, is it fixable, hope to hear from u guys soon. Thank you

please specify which rom were you using before you messed up your phone so that someone may be able to figure out your problem more easily.
will upload cache.img if I could.....

Try
fastboot format cache

If this doesn't work then
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache

I had same problem.
This solved it.

bro cache.img size is 128 mb.
Its not possible for me to upload it as I have very low bandwidth.
Sorry but I thought it would be smaller in size.

just flash rom again

to unbrick it just flash a custom rom or just the stock rom.

cant do it dude. coz while in recovery i cant do any of the stuffs like that. if i select any options it shows those errors. And with the sp flash tool, its just not downloading when i press the download button. Any other alternative?

 

[Softwarelord]

Choose option Format+ download

 

[puneetn91]

Choose option Format+ download

Nope ... still nothing.. should i try firmware update? coz like no option left..

Use TWRP recovery created by 1cefire . and go to file manager and check if your cache partition is intact . You don't need cache.img . As the partition layout will be the same as it did before . or search for androidxda.com from google . Canvas a1's stock firmware should be there .

Use SP Flash tools and Flash the stock ROM. This will write back all your partition info and reformat the device! :good:
sorry for the late reply!
