Bricked my phone. need cache.img for canvas a1 - Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera

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.

thats fine bro. from which stock rom did u extract the cache.img?

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

This will work search for stock rom sprout and you will get sp flashable 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:

This happened to me a lot on my old Desire HD. Have you tried re-flashing the rom or trying a different one? Also did you clean flash?

I can't access the recovery mode to re-flash the rom or try another one.

Ah okay. I would then flash a custom recovery. You can access the bootloader correct? What method did you use to install the rom? Clean flash or wipe is when you erase all the phone's system files, leaving a blank slate for a new rom to be installed on, and should be done before installing a brand new rom to avoid any issues.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568662
This is the link to the recovery image I used, it's the latest clockwordmod touch recovery. Very easy to flash as long as you have fast boot setup correctly. Once you have a working recovery you should be able to try a re-flash.

Well I entered Recovery mode through Rom Manager[/URL]clokworkmod () then used "install zip from sdcard".
I chose to keep my old data and don't make a factory reset.

Was the recovery still stock or was a custom one flashed? Which process did you follow to root the phone? Since you can't access the recovery at the moment is suggesting it is stock. A failed rom install shouldn't corrupt recovery

I remember I've unlocked the bootloader.
I used the method described on this french website : phonandroid.com/tutoriel-comment-rooter-son-htc-one.html
On the bootloader now, i can do a factory reset. Can it be a solution ? will it or not delete the root ?

I'm not sure, since you have tried to flash another rom, a factory reset might not solve the issue. Trying shouldn't brick the phone but I can't say for sure, sorry!
The method looks similar to the one I used. Could you try following from step 6? but using a different recovery.img. I used the clockwokmod touch from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863

Nice! Glad you have working recovery. Yes I would reinstall the rom now, and I would recommend that you wipe the system files, (except SD Card partition of course) to reduce the chance of boot loops etc

Could you send me a link to the rom you flashed? Try downloading a different rom. As you can't boot a ROM your only option may be to use ADB to push a new ROM onto your phone's storage.

It may have been a bad download. There isn't really any reason for it to not work, although it does say on the page it "You need TRWP 2.6.3.3 custom recovery!"
Not to worry, you can flash it in no-time. Ok so just as before, just flash a new recovery (again) and use the latest image from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7/
This should allow you to install the rom as the developers intend. It is strange though, i've never encountered a rom where a specific recovery was needed.

i decided to switch to paranoid android 3.69 for smoother perfomance but sadly i bricked my device. although i had backed up my rom using cwm recovery on sd card. but the most sad part is that even recovery is not working. it just reboots again and again. someone told me to flash stock firmware via odin as the download mode is working. but i am worried that my data will be lost. can anyone tell me my data will be lost or not????
and if it ll lost than any way to save it or recover it/ ? i had extremely precious data in it. but being careless i didnt backed my personal data in my laptop.. please help me guys.. ready to pay any cost for my data

Flashing stock firmware with Odin will not delete your data from SD card. You will probably need to do factory reset, it will delete your contacts, sms, apps... But stuff from internal and external sd will remain there.
You bricked it because 4.4.2 uses preload partition for a swap, and it is partitioned in different way. And on PA 3.69 is probably different.
Or ROM zip of PA was corrupted.
thankyou and one more question

You can't brick phone with clearing cache. Did you wipe system partition? Try to install same ROM that you had (if you had).
Give us a screenshot of Odin fail. What exactly happen. And what is the full name of md5 that you put in pda of Odin. Try different version of Odin too.

Go back to recovery, and if you have ROMs zip install it again.
Ofcourse you shouldn't wipe system partition, system files are there...
And if you can't install ROM again, what error do you get in Odin?

I didn't think twice before wiping it. My bad.

ROM is fine. And you was on GB or JB before? If you was on GB then this problem you got is normal. You must be on JB (flash JB firmware) if you install JB ROM.
And again, if you get FAIL on Odin DO A SCREENSHOT AND POST IT HERE. To see what cause that fail. Left part of this screenshot is a log http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gkWcapOu2...gingerbread+s5570jpq8+samsung+galaxy+Mini.jpg

And no, you must install Firmware not, not ROM. Because you probably installed JB ROM over GB. That is why you do not have working recovery.

[Q] Razr I stuck in bootloader

Hi. I've been using Omar Avelar's ROM for very long time with no problems until today
I downloaded 28th August version to my cel, put it in recovery with CWM, wipe cache and install the zip like every single time but at the end of the instalation it failed, the I reboot it and get stuck in bootloader
Fortunately still have access to recovery, try to reinstall the zip and still failed at the end
Finally, I did wipe data and reboot it and still stuck in bootloader
I dont know what else to do
Thanks

Good u can get into recovery. But i have the feeling u have a serious bug. In the EMMC firmware. It is also called a superbrick in the galaxy s2 forums.
Try to flash your stock firmware back. Latest stock firmware from your region. Don't use RSD-Lite. Use mFastboot and only try to flash the boot image, system image and erase userdata and cache. Don't use rsd-lite or flash your recovery. We maybe can get it all to work if your recovery keeps working.

See my signature for it. There is a mFastboot file in there. If you are in ap fastboot mode the PC should see your device almost always. If not, you don't have the usb drivers correctly installed. U can find that also somewhere in my signature.

Hi Hazou,
did u have more infos about this "emmc superbrick"?
I´m a little afraid because there are more and more people getting this brick...
what is the cause? broken memory cells due to wear?

This is just what i observed. I totally don't know if it is true that we have the same problem as the superbrick, but the evidence is "almost" undeniable.
I never had a problem as the superbrick. never had a galaxy or a device with it, so i know this only through research from the internet.
Here is an explanation. It has to do with the blkdiscard command. When the device performs a partition wipe, there is a chance that a sector will get corrupt (beacuse of bad eMMC firmware). Everything before the corrupted sector still will work. Everything after it is unreachable. We can reach it by changing the partition table, but there is no research in it for the Razr I.
This bug has only been seen in just a couple emmc modules. so it affects just some devices after android 4.0.4. And our Razr I can be one of them. The bug got introduced in jellybean.
The problem can be easy avoided with a patch in kernel/ext4_utils, not solved when it already happened. But i am waiting for 4.4.2 and see if it is still present in the firmware or i will contact motorola for it.
This bug happens it both unlocked as locked bootloader. U can't avoid it. U just are unlucky when u have it. And in almost all cases it appears only when updating your rom. So if u don't do anything to your phone, then the chance is slim.
I personally have wiped/flashed (for cm10) my device many, many times. And never had it. I just hope that it is solved with 4.4.2 so the chance that u get it will get even slimmer then it now is.
Did you copy the ROM's zip file from your computer? It uses MTP instead of mass storage mode and I've found that it doesn't always copy the the whole file, but cuts off half way through. This leaves a zip file that is around 200MB and it can still be flashed through recovery. I usually download the ROM from the phone's browser, but if it is on the computer, I copy it on to my external SD using a USB card reader.
I had this problem on Windows 7 and now the same with Windows 8.1. Or there could be something wrong with my phone..

Flash a different boot.img.
Hey @MrMike2182 thanks for replying
A noob question haha
What do u mean by different boot.img. , like different rom or extracting the boot.img from the rom and flash it ?

There's usually different boot.img in Stock firmware and other devs usually create their own and put them on here for others... Try using a different one.

Ok I think your recovery is not working with stock files, maybe you can use the recovery from them: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-2/development/leeco-le-2-x526-stock-recovery-t3449208
and then stock files should work, but I'm a noob also, sorry

Once you sucessfully booted into setup wizard then go into recovery by turning off your phone and then enter into recovery by pressing vol up+ power when phone is switched off then choose clear all data and cache option else your phone will randomly reboot and playservice will force close.

when flashing ROM just wait it does take time to flash since stock ROM is very large around 2GB.
