Restoring backup - what went wrong?



Hello,

today I managed to brick my device and restore it to working state, and I wonder at what point I made an error.

So here's what I did:
  1. Had stock lollipop 30b

  2. Rooted using oneclick root+recovery

  3. Installed twrp using autorec

  4. Xposed etc. and used it for a while without problem

  5. Decided to flash something new

  6. AOSPA 5.1.1 seemed like a good choice

  7. Flashed bootstack, that was mentioned in aospa thread, system and gapps

  8. Wow, that was smooth, but I needed my apps next day so I decided to restore my stock backup

  9. Restored backup and ended up with phone in 9006 mode


Later I did some stupid moves that made whole situation worse, but that's not the point.

I backed up and restored everything that twrp allowed me to, so not only system and data, but also boot, efs, modem, recovery, sns etc. Could this be the cause? I didn't change bootstack, because I thought, that I had the needed one (autorec puts kk bootstack, right? and aosp roms also require this).

What should I do to avoid such problems in the future? I'll probably flash a lot, trying to find best possible rom for me, so it's neccesary to now whatto avoid.

And tip for future newbies like I was: if you can enter download mode, then use it, flash tool won't wipe your device data when you're using normal flash. When you've got normal working system to begin with then you can tinker further.
(Also there seems to be no way to recover from demigod critical error, even though it says it enters recovery. Then it's only this method with shorting capacitors on motherboard (fix real hardbrick)).

Cheers,
Marmelada
