Recover Trim area after broken partitioning

21 August 2017 - 14:52

I have bricked my sony xperia V.
I tried to sideload cyanogenmod 14 onto it, and the tool for unifying the partitions crashed and broke the partition setup on the phone.
This left the phone in a non-bootable state.
I tried reflashing the bootloader with s1 tool and testpoint, but it fails with HDR Block not accepted - this is where I found out about the trim area being a thing.

So I think that since nothing has been written to the flash, only the partition table was erased, that the trim area is still there.
 
Is there any way of reading out data from the Trim area now? Can the flash be dumped and the data recovered?
