I guess you could try to boot into TWRP --> Wipe --> Format Data --> Ext4(if it asks)
Or try to re-install stock firmware with some official way or in TWRP by following this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702

Just recheck URL you have copied it from quoted text which removes text in between the URL .
Copy it directly from the browser URL.

That means you have successfully recovered your device right?
Did you get build number back correctly or do you have banlong bug?

Thanks for helping guys!

I downloaded this http://download969.mediafire.com/xqlhgoufnstg/w9ms2fh8fr0atxi/updateappflasher.zip
And then I downloaded UPDATE.APP and moved it into that zip file and then I mounted all partitions and flashed normally using twrp. Before first boot format cache and data. Also you need unlocked bootloader.

you can open 9008 pot, you can flash with software qfil,you can search it,qualcomm flash tool.

with access to fastboot mode you might be able to reinstall default rom if you have the bootloader unlocked
you can try the "tinyflashscript" way and use that to overwrite all partitions with a stock image found here
RET stands for Retail and than the region code follows, just download the latest one for your region
after that your partitions are reset to the start
I have managed to recover from a previous softbrick this way

I solved! The solution: blank flash. It works on the new Android 12

I HAVE THE SAME problem with samsung: <

Failed Root Z flip 4 brick & recovery..now what

So long story short was trying to root went to sammobile they didn't have my vzw sm-f721u and I updated flip to 13 while prior. Bricked because I was high and forgot to do the Magick trick before flashing then had to take sammobiles f721u1 vzw 12 and flashed but still at 13 didn't downgrade , unbricked, tried Magick patch for sha256 fix but didn't work. No root. Sammobiles f721u1 is slower than my og f721u ..bvka which can only find for sale and shady at sammfrew.com

Get a fresh copy of firmware from here:
Firmware from SamFw
Or get it from the Frija Tool.
Get to Download mode and run Odin 3 on your PC (Download Samsung USB drivers in case it doesn't recognizes your device.)
Flash AP, BL, CSC, CP
Do not flash userdata
(Remember: Untick Auto Restart)

There's no firmware for free anywhere . Frija doesn't have sm f721u....bvka. and the new fw I have didn't downgrade my android when I flashed. Tried again and wouldn't root. Did Magick correctly. Think I have to wait.
Once you go 13 you can't downgrade

I'm going to try again with some new samfw files. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully it works. Still haven't found sm-f731usq.....bvka
That was the original firmware I had installed and have only seen it on an imposter sammfw site.
Going to do Magick and try again with and without patched Odin then will update

So I've tried downgrading binary but instead of booting it just shutted down and only boots into brom mode I already tried to restore with different binary but gives "anti-roolback error...
Does anyone have the firmware for sp flash tool on binary 5 ? Or can someone create one? Because I really need the phone working.

You might need Auth bypass tool, if your phone pops up in device manager (windows) and then disconnects and pops back over and over, you need to bypass the protection with Auth bypass tool. Hope that helps

No tried to downgrade binary

As far as I understand, you can't downgrade binary. I think now you need flash phone with original binary and Android version you had installed... but please do research as I'm not 100% sure.
If you find the way, let me know as I will attempt to flash mine again shortly.

You might have wiped your partitions, I think that's what I did with mine.
Is your error:
"Status sec imghdr type mismatch" ?
My advice, stop flashing and start trying to read / back up anything you can.
I made the mistake to go ham (crazy) with trying different things and flashing different files which broke it completely.
Take screen shots of any errors if you can.

recovery: error validating footer. (0)

hi, today i tried to install twrp on my phone but i got an error written in the attached image, any help?

Mmm, do they mean the AVB0 footer on the recovery image?
How did you flash the TWRP?
Was what you wrote as big as the partition?

So, how big was the file that you flashed?
If what you flashed is smaller than the partition then the old AVB0 footer from the stock recovery is there.
That wouldn't agree with the position of the new AVB0 header for TWRP.
Or maybe you're supposed to defeat AVB somewhere?

the file weighs 50 kb (I don't know what to do because it's the first time I enter the world of modding)

@gerryscottiano instead of asking this question in a new thread, it would be a better idea to ask in the thread where you got TWRP from.

Also, the TWRP image for this device is about 42MB, not 50KB.

i was wrong it is 50 mb, however i downloaded it on twrp official site
