How to Restore Your Phone After Wiping the System Partition in TWRP

In the event you accidentally wiped the system partition using TWRP recovery mode, your phone might not boot up due to the deletion of essential operating system files. However, there are several steps you can take to restore your device without losing your data. This guide will walk you through the process, ensuring you have the best chances of a successful restoration.

Steps to Restore Your Device

Check for a Backup
During the recovery process, it's crucial to check if you have any backups. Specifically, if you have a backup of the system partition, you can restore it through TWRP. To do this, Boot into TWRP and navigate to the backup section. Select your backup and restore it. Flash the Stock ROM
If you do not have a backup, consider flashing the stock ROM or a compatible custom ROM. However, ensure that the flashing process does not erase your data. Download the appropriate ROM for your device. Transfer it to your phone. In TWRP, navigate to Install and make sure the option to wipe data is not checked. Using ADB to Push Files
If you have the necessary files on your computer, you can use ADB to push them to your phone. Ensure your phone is booted into TWRP and ADB is enabled. Connect your phone to your computer and use commands like:

bash adb push local_system_image /system/

After pushing the files, set the right permissions:

bash adb shell chmod 755 /system/

Important Notes

Data Safety
Always ensure that you have backups of your important data before performing such operations. It is crucial to take precautions to avoid data loss. Risk of Data Loss
While the methods outlined above aim to restore your system without erasing your data, there is always a risk involved when modifying system files. Backing up your data first is highly recommended. Device-Specific Instructions
The steps may vary slightly depending on your device model. For detailed, device-specific guidance, refer to official or community resources.

If these steps do not work, you may need to consider a full factory reset, which will erase all your data, or seek professional help.

Remember, since you are wiping the system, you will lose everything, including the operating system of your Android phone. Therefore, wiping the system through TWRP is not advisable if you lack knowledge about Android systems. It is highly recommended to consult guides or experts for a more detailed understanding of these processes.
