URGENT! Help Needed - phone may be bricked, not sure what to do

Hello everyone,
I have a Desire HD (Telus) rooted with Android Revolution 5.2.6 installed and 4ext recovery mod.
Overnight my phone locked up and then after popping the battery I could get maybe 30 seconds of use before it would crawl to a halt and lock up again.
I decided to try to wipe the phone and reinstall. Except all of the processes don't complete now. I'll either get (Error 1) or (Error 255) when trying to use the SuperWipe, install the ROM or use the "Wipe all partitions" option.
Right now it's in the 4ext recovery mod and since I've tried all of the wipe options is it safe to try to reboot (back into recovery) or have I wiped 4ext off as well? I have googled this and can't find an answer.
I've noticed that there is a new version of 4ext available (I have 4.1.3 RC2) but apparently the only way to update is via the app store - which obviously I can't do right now.
When trying to format system partition the screen goes blank for a few minutes and eventually returns to the main menu with no info other than a bunch of "E: Can't mount /cache/recovery" messages. The partition list shows system/data/cache as ext4 with only "iB" in the free column.
I'm not sure what to do. Can anyone offer some suggestions?
Here are some recovery log snips:

Unable to wipe dalvik/cache in Twrp

See attached pic. I thought installing supersu 2.72 would solve this encryption issue? Or maybe I'm just confused (most likely scenario). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks [emoji1]

I'm not 100% positive but I think because dalvik/cash can not be cleared because it is part of data partition and it is encrypted as we all know.

In TWRP, click WIPE, click WIPE ENCRYPTION, swipe to format data. Only way its going to work. data is encrypted. Sorry ya going to have to start from scratch again.

Beware this will wipe the entire data partition and all data.
You cannot wipe Dalvik from outside the OS. I believe apps like 3ctoolbox will allow you to wipe Dalvik from within the OS (still need a reboot).

Thanks for the reply fellas. I don't mind starting from scratch but I'd be safe with wiping data? Don't want to redo everything to find my radio is broken.

As long as you re-encrypt your data partition either with su 2.72 forceencrypt or using stock boot+system images, you'll be fine.
I was able to wipe cache without messing up anything else by flashing stock recovery back, wiping cache and then flashing TWRP again (all before rebooting the phone).
You can use command wipe data & cache
Code:
fastboot -w
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\fastboot.exe
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot -h
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
...
...
options:
-w Erase userdata and cache (and format if supported by partition type).
...
...
reboot into bootloader mode

Data partition too small on 128 GB

Hey all, first time in this forum. As the title suggests, I have a 128 GB Pixel XL. I got to futzing around with it: root, TWRP, etc. Then, I had to reflash the stock system image. There were some hiccups but I got it back.
With one exception (there are probably other issues that I'm not aware of, haha): my /data partition is 10 GB.
I'm now in over my head. Can someone help? Here is some info:

Try formatting userdata in fastboot. It will wipe you're device but should fix storage issues.
This has happened to me a few different times on my previous Nexus (Nexi?) devices, Just doing a factory reset was enough to show the correct storage amounts again.
I can't help but your OP got me curious and I googled a little.
This thread looks very interesting/informative.
I haven't read it all but figured I'd link it:

Do you know if that's any different than using TWRP to do the wipe?
I've always wondered but never bothered to research.
Is it possible to do better, more thorough wipes via fastboot than it is via TWRP's wipe menu.
An update. This is the same hiccup as I ran into before when using the provided flash-all.sh from the factory NMF26O image.

Anything above 32gb can't use the flash all. The userdata in the image is for 32gb. So it will screw up you're data. You need to manually flash the image when you want to update that way.

Bricked Pixel C Flashall doesnt work

SOLVED: Changed partitions to ext3. Which made it possible to use twrp and adb
Hello! For a couple of months now my google pixel c has been bricked. I have messed around with the tablet alot and this time im unable to fix my mistake.
The os is completly gone and twrp is broken.
I have tried for months, using google, using different computers etc.
In fastboot it does recognize the device. However it refuses to let me flash any kind of zip/img
Also no computer i have been using have been able to find the correct drivers, i have to manually install them.
When i try to download the official factory image for my device i extract it and then i run the flashall.bat command i get this:

Hello, what do you mean by twrp is broken ? Because i had the same problem with my pixel C but i still had access to twrp so i update the recovery with twrp then flash the tablet. Now my pixel c works fine but i'm still unable to flash it via fastboot

Thank you for the reply. Twrp is partially broken is more correct. Its a while ago so I don't remember how exactly I broke it. But I think I partially updated the os which made it impossible for twrp to read my storage. So twrp is unable to write and read my internal storage.
And I'm unable to flash a new recovery since I can't use fastboot
I had also the same issue but you just had to change the partition type of data to ext3 then it should be fine.
Hmm... I have not touched those settings. Will try it when I get home! I saw yesterday the partition type was ext4. I never touched those settings so it seems weird. But I will give it a shot! I appreciate you guys helping me I even tried to advertise it as a job but no one knew what to do. So this is my last shot before selling it broken
Thank you very much for the help! After changing partition i was succesfully able to push Linage os through adb and twrp.
Will try to install it now. Thank you very much!
This feels like christmas
Anytime.
who can tell me how to change partition to ext3 via adb?sorry for my poor ability...
Guys I have been trying to fix this for the past week and I had no clue how to format using ext3 since I wasn't even able to go into TWRP recovery. But I found these two posts which were great help.

It explains how to use fwtool and it's actually pretty straightforward. Just in case it is not very clear, I'll try to explain the whole process step by step below.
The second link above has a download link for fwtool. Once you download it, start your pixel in fastboot mode while connected to your laptop. In the command line:
Code:
adb push <path to fwtool>/fwtool /sdcard/Download/fwtool
You should get a message like this below:
fwtool: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. 4.7 MB/s (43880 bytes in 0.009s)
Then open the shell in adb using:
Code:
adb shell
then go to your download directory and check the dev_boot_fastboot_full_cap flag using the commands below:
Code:
cd /sdcard/Download/
fwtool vbnv read dev_boot_fastboot_full_cap
The output for me was:
Code:
127|dragon:/ # cd /sdcard/Download/
dragon:/sdcard/Download # fwtool vbnv read dev_boot_fastboot_full_cap
Firmware debug Tool
dev_boot_fastboot_full_cap = 0
I then set the flag to 1 using fwtool as below.
Code:
fwtool vbnv write dev_boot_fastboot_full_cap 1
After running this, check the flag again using fwtool vbnv read dev_boot_fastboot_full_cap again. It should now display 1. After doing this, I was able flash using fastboot flash-all should also work.
I hope this helps everyone and good luck...
