[Q] Partition Table Messed Up

[rmann]

Guys,

Need some help. When my device failed to boot(not able to mount /cache, /data) I researched ways to resolve the issue and eventually ended up using parted and fdisk. As a result found that partition no 4 was faulty..

fdisk gave the following output

fdisk -ul /dev/block/mmcblk0

Partition table entries are not in disk order

--------------------------------------------------------------------
So i went ahead and deleted partition 4 using fdisk and then parted gave out the partition table as below

~ # parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
GNU Parted 1.8.8.1.179-aef3

2 132kB 394kB 262kB primary
3 394kB 33.5MB 33.1MB primary

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I then re-booted the phone in bootloader and it never came back up - ofcourse what i missed was to move all other partitions up... 5 to 4, 6 to 5 etc..

I downloaded QPST as the device is now only connecting in download mode and need an Partition image file to download on the device. Can somebody please use QPST and backup partition image file and share please. I believe the same can be downloaded to the phone using QPST.

Please guide / advice if there are any other options. Have checked the full thread of HTC Unbriking project but no luck.
I was on hboot 1.29 and S-OFF.

Please help.
