How to Fix Bricked Super Partition and Unbrick Android

In this guide, we will show you the steps that should help you fix the bricked Super partition and hence unbrick your Android device. Ever since the introduction of logical partitions, things have become quite challenging when it comes to fixing partitions. Earlier, one just needed to flash all partitions in the Fastboot mode but things have drastically changed since then.

You’ll first have to delete the logical partitions [both the permanent and the temporary ‘cow’ ones], then re-create them, and finally flash them in the FastbootD Mode [and not the Fastboot Mode]. For instance, if we talk about the Product partition, then here’s what you need to do:

fastboot delete-logical-partition my_product_a

fastboot delete-logical-partition my_product_b

fastboot delete-logical-partition my_product_a-cow

fastboot delete-logical-partition my_product_b-cow

fastboot create-logical-partition my_product_a 1

fastboot create-logical-partition my_product_b 1

fastboot flash my_product my_product.img

And that’s just for one partition, you will probably have to do so for around 20-25 partitions, rest like the Bluetooth and DSP can directly be flashed without the need to delete and recreate partition, whereas the likes of boot and recovery are to be flashed in the Fastboot Mode.

This complete chaos is sure to lead to issues if you end up executing one incorrect command or end up flashing a file in Bootloader instead of FastbootD [or vice versa]. And more often than not, the super partition is on the receiving end. If you are also in a similar situation and are unable to boot the device to the OS due to the bricked super partition, then this guide will help you out. Follow along for the fix.

How to Fix Bricked Super Partition and Unbrick Android

Do note that the below process will wipe off all the data from your device and might also lead to unforeseen consequences. So proceed ahead with caution and at your own risk.

Wipe Super Partition

Your first course of action should be to wipe the Super partition by flashing an empty super_empty.img file. For that, you’ll first have to get hold of this file. You may do so from any ROM developer’s site [such as LineageOS] as they usually upload this file along with their ROM. So download this file and then proceed with the below steps:

Download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC.
Then place the super_empty.img file inside this folder.
Now boot your device to the Fastboot Mode using hardware keys.
Then open Command Prompt inside this folder and type in: fastboot wipe-super super_empty.img
Then download the stock firmware and extract vbmeta.img file:
Transfer the file to the platform-tools folder and disable verity via: fastboot –disable-verity –disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Now do a format data via the below command: fastboot -w
Finally, check if you can boot to the OS via the below command: fastboot reboot

Flash Super.img

Your next course of action should be to reflash the entire super.img file. Here’s how it can be done:

Reboot your device to Fastboot Mode via hardware key combinations.
Then extract the super.img from the firmware and place it in the platform-tools folder.
Now boot your device to the FastbootD Mode via the below command fastboot reboot fastboot
Then, type in the below command to flash the super.img fastboot flash super super.img
Now disable verity via the below command fastboot –disable-verity –disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Now do a format data via the below command: fastboot -w
Finally, check if you can boot to the OS via the below command: fastboot reboot

Delete and Re-Create Logical Partitions

If none of the aforementioned methods worked out for you, then you’ll have to delete and re-create logical partitions on your device and then flash it via Fastboot. In this regard, it is highly recommended that you use the Fastboot Firmware Flasher Tool and get the job done accordingly.

But if you are among the daring souls and wish to try it out manually, then the below commands should help you out [do not simply copy paste all the commands, make sure to verify the partition that your firmware has and only use these commands from below]:
