Partially (atleast hope so) Bricked my device while trying to flash emmc_appsboot.mbn

[shanx_verma]

Hi, To cut the long story short, without the much hue and cry, I thought of downgrading back to KK BL from LP BL to get Sailfish OS working.
.
But I wanted just KK BL, not entire KK Firmware and Modem.
.
So I just flashed aboot and abootbak partitions with these commands -
.
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash abootbak emmc_appsboot.mbn
I did this after researching a bit that aboot was the bootloader partition for our phone, and looking through the flashing script (*.bat) file from a KK MIUI 7.1.1.0 fastboot ROM.
.
After reboot, phone just keeps buzzing in a vibratory pattern like a Nokia phone used to buzz while a call was coming xD
buzzzzzz.............buzzzzzz....... and so on
.
Honestly, I don't want to lose any data. (I had not taken any backup whatsoever before doing this, as I had done this before while upgrading from KK BL to LP BL, which went reallly smooth)
.
Please suggest how I can revive my buddy back without flashing whole fastboot ROM again (as it don't even boot to fastboot, no display while vibrating) , or without sending to service center. Xiaomi service centers suck !!! : :

@ketut.kumajaya @kennymccormic @noobpremium @premaca @anandmore @emfox please help whoever can !! Much appreciated, friends..

Still, as this seems to be my only hope, I will try it nonetheless!

Thanks again.

Do let me know if there is another method also or not.

Moral of the story : DON'T MIX UP BETWEEN DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF ABOOT AND MODEM.
I tried to tell you that a thousand times, but you have got it in mind in the hard way ?
