Yes but I'm sure I just flashed boot and did fine. But I flashed a DD image I took of my boot.
Which I told EVERYONE to do just for this reason.
Also flash old TWRP. From fastboot.

rooting the phone means unlock "the network lock"? meaning i can use the phone in any cellular network? thanks
What you are asking about is SIM unlocking the phone and rooting does not translate to being able to SIM unlock. What carrier are you planning to use this phone on?

Note I corrected the response in my last post. You may search/find an eBay phone unlocker that can SIM unlock the phone for a few bucks. Maybe someone posted earlier in the thread.

Was the one that you said you had that you'd keep a backup of 100% complete/working?
yea i might need something like that seems mine was corrupted somehow
Try back up individual partition one at a time, data partition should work now. In fact, this is the first time i'm seeing f2fs on stock recovery data partitioni've set it to auto for both data & cache so that you guys can use TWRP to format it to either f2fs or ext4, many claim that their device is faster with f2fs while some says vice-versa. Again, for the experience guys to try out only, more info here. May be faxanidu should take over the work from here onwards as i can't test it out myself
Has anyone tried to format to ext4 yet?

try flashing the old twrp, if that doesn't work, idk... it might be something wrong with boot like the other user said

Yes I have every partition untouched except recovery 0

i guess every one is fast a sleep now :laugh: Anyway, I've pm faxanidu the require info for porting a fully working TWRP that will be able to back up full factory ROM instead of manually using dd command. After that, anyone should be able unbrick themselves using TWRP

Okay so.. sorry but I'm just now flashing twrp since my pc just now started working. I know we can't back up data in the first twrp, so I skipped that. But when I try backup system and boot, it says "permission denied" anyway to fix that? Or no
EDIT: I had forgotten that I chose my default storage to be my sd card, so I had to create the backup to my sd card
EDIT2: Also, I tried flashing viper4android, it would not work. BusyBox doesn't work either
EDIT3: Xposed also won't work, nor will trying to uninstall any bloatware. I think it's because the system is read only, and swiping to allow system modifications in TWRP doesn't do anything either, it's still read only . This is for the first TWRP btw. Ill try to install with the newer TWRP.

I'll post my empty data partition img for you tonight. It was backed up using dd and is missing things like default wallpaper but works.
sweet i am in no rush but that phone is faster than my old one i am using
Here is the "empty" userdata.img
I believe you have to unzip it, then flash it from either TWRP (Install/Install Image) or fastboot.
Note that /data mounts the userdata partition. They are synonyms.
If you can't load this from TWRP, then boot into fastboot mode (usb plugged in, VolDown+Power to boot) then:
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

only options in twrp are recovery and boot partitions when i try flashing the img
Yeah, I guess the other partitions need to be added into the TWRP fstab config for them to show up.
Flash from fastboot; see my edited post.

now /data cannot be mounted
For XT2 with unlocked BL, unrooted, stock recovery:
Do NOT try
fastboot format userdata
It will brick the device
Do NOT try
fastboot format userdata

Solution: boot to Stock Recovery -> do a Factory reset
