nokia 3.2 unbrick alt. method - Nokia 3.2 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi, let's go:
Scénario: you know nothing Jon Snow, but you want root, so you install fastboot, no matter which twrp, you follow a couple of tutorials you found in the wild and you play around with slot a -slot b twrp option. You find funny erase partitions, that way you have more internal space, maybe. You erase devil cache, and good boy cache and everything, because why not? You do not make backups, 'cause your not a coward, but a little nervous-impulsive. Magisk? it sound cool, I´ll take 4, thanks
Strange, things start going badly: The nokia 3.2 goes crazy and you just have fastboot. You manage to have twrp again thanks to the command fastboot flash boot twrp-3.2-dpl-00eea
Buuuuuuut you cannot install img nor zip files from sdcard using install options, then you discover that there is /sdcard an /external_sdcard¡¡¡ but it does not matter, file is corrupted, even drinking bleach does not improves the situation. Yo cannot install lineage-17.1-20200413-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN. img or .zip (ahhhh it is RAR, so I have to change the extension to zip? maybe the system folder?) and you do not even know if you are arm64 a/b or just arm or legs.
You try to install system-quack-arm-ab-vanilla via adb push commands or fastboot commands, you fight with qualcomm drivers, the qfil tool, with not command found little android robot message, your system is corrupt message, go to see google nokia page (why? they are the enemy who bloats my phone!!!) you do not even know if you were in andorid 10 or 9 or 1909? You start filling up your desktop with images boot.img, .exe files OST LA bizarre programme... You try to open the nokia 3.2 to search 2 pins to enable eld supermode-mode with no chance 'cause you are not strong enough and it is really well ... glued? MAybe if I pay someone else tou fix it? 140 euros... 120 dollars, no, wait it is reaaaaaly expensive¡¡¡
REAL HINT
Have a try to download HMDSW_DPL_sprout-015B-0-00WW-B01 and search for boot vbmeta and other .img files and flash them manually via fastboot, if you are lucky as me, you may fix the self provocated prob:

I'm willing to help, as far as I have to stay home because of a biological hacking. And if you do not know what are you doing or you are not confident, do not do it. Thanks

Hi
Thanks for guide
but I am unable boot after following all above steps

---

Just as a tip: I once got mine soft-bricked (that was a scary one. No partitions, can't flash, boot, or erase anything at all, even saw the linux penguin logo instead of "Android One"), but after lots of googling i decided to check my active slot, turned out it was something like "UNAVAILABLE" (or so)
So I just set my active slot to A (or B, doesn't matter) and I recovered everything.
