This is one of the reasons I completely removed running fastboot -w from phablet-flash (because userdata seems to have a lot of issues).

For a really quick recovery just use a CM zip for android and you'll be ok as it just dumps files onto /system instead of doing an image write, unless you wanted stock. > Now, after the long story, my short question is that: > -Does the phablet-flash can handle the failures correctly? > There were no failures from phablet-flash that I see.
