Screw TWRP. Honestly.
Got this phone today, for a cheap price.
I have done Android modding before. Standard procedure. Read, read once again and follow the instructions.
Went so well. Unlocked bootloader, rooted, S-Off'ed, flashed recovery. Perfect.
Nandroid backup. And then wipe.... And it got stuck at wiping /data. Hurray. Waiting another hour. Nope. Time to take the battery out, and I knew this would bring bad stuff to the table.

So now my partition table is broken. I cant flash any ROM. I cant restore my backup. I can use fastboot (so flashing recovery works just fine), but adb doesn't detect my phone from ADB Sideload mode.
Tried 4EXT recovery. Yay, it reformatted my partitions. But well, that didn't work, which saddened me.

So... any way I can restore this phone? Hopefully. I really dont want to throw this away. It feels good. It suits my needs. Its a shame.

Information:
PYRAMID PVT ENG S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.17.2008 (PG5813000)
also, I have a 8 gb sd card. Just in case.

Well, I am going to try this method in post #35.
But as I can see, that doesnt solve the problem fully.
Nevertheless, Its not going to hurt. I think.

EDIT:
I wonder what would happen if i used these commands:
make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 - format /system partition
make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p23 - format /data partition
make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p24 - format /cache partition

Do you think those might work?

EDIT2:
make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p23 gives me:
/sbin/sh: make_ext4fs: not found

Fuu. :/
