Hi,
I bricked my Leaf. Badly. My fault, I'm so obsessed with getting OTG SD cards to work fully in all apps that I want them to with root that I've changed storage permissions in packages.xml (and other places) that I probably should not have.
I did systemless root via Magisk though I don't know if I broke that with permission modes I did get into system/etc/ today in frustration. Prolly. Root was working prior to that though.
I can get to recovery, I've done multiple Wipe Data/Factory resets and multiple Wipe cache but no. Still in bootloop, just this time it reverts back to Chinese language instead of English, trying to start setup...I get to the pick language menu for a couple of seconds and then it just falls back into bootloop (subsequent loops we don't even get to that menu it cuts out too quick).
Sometimes it then gives me an error screen after awhile telling me it failed, I need to factory reset which I do and then we're bootlooping again.
My computer can't read the device. ADB won't recognise there's a device. Reboot to bootloader via recovery I can't access anything though to be honest I have no idea what I should be doing there/typing anyway. fastboot devices returns ???????????? devices.
I've been looking at the Poke 3 Soft Brick thread...I'm not following it well plus I'm not sure I even have access to fastboot either. Typing some of the commands I saw in that thread just leave me with "waiting for any device".
I do have update.upx, update.zip and patched magisk boot.img on PC. I also have the Onyx card reader and FAT32 USBs at the ready. I do not have a recovery.img though and limited info on the Leaf as it's such a new device.
There's no options on their recovery to select a zip or storage to restore from there either like I'm used to (though that could be TWRP...I've not had to root in nearly 6 years so I've not gone near a stock or TWRP recovery in 6 years).
I can't see how I'm going to even get anything to fix/restore with no "update from zip" or adb or fastboot :(. I need a Download mode or Odin lol.
I do have the case so the buttons at my disposal are volume up and down and power.
I'm so bummed out and I don't have the technical knowledge to work this out on my own.
Thanks for any help.
