Oops, I bricked it again, using btrfs, curved hands and some street magic. Help, me...

So, I've bricked my phone using very sophistical way.

Yesterday I've get error "no space left on device" with 4gb+. free. This error widely described on this forum, but during restore i've made additional steps. Yes, it was steps in wrong direction..

Firstly i've connected to phone using wlan. I've tried to start btrfs balance, but get "no space left.." message. "No space?.. I will give you space, much space you ever seen before!" - with these words i've typed command:

btrfs device add /dev/mmcblk1p1 /

It was a wrong step, i know.

After adding device i started btrfs balance again. At this time get I no complains, no error messages, no stories, no answer. It looks, like it very busy and don't want to talk to me. I wanted to know more about it's doings on second connection (already opened), using standard commands but only answer I get was errors reading /bin/bash, /bin/ps, /bin/ls etc. I waited about 15 mins, but nothing changed.

I hard-rebooted to recovery console. But when i start "btrfs-balance start / " I get "'/' - Inappropriate ioctl for device". "btrfs check" found much errors, but when it started with "--repair" option it died with words "btrfs: extent-tree.c:2682: btrfs_reserve_extent: Assertion `!(ret)' failed"

I've tried to restore to factory settings, but with inserted mmc it stops with words "Flashed recovery image is too old and does not support phone clearing". If I get mmc out, recovery hangs "cannot mount /dev/mmcblk0p28".

I've tried to delete second device, but it also unsucessfull. I've tried to start btrfs restoring using recovery menu, but it send me to seek service. Heh, I AM SERVICE! :)
