Nand erase removed packages and files from resources and config mtds!

An AI agent decided that a nand erase would solve my switch problem when I bought a used switch and needed to erase the old users and passwords so I could log in.  So I, of course, blindly followed its instructions in the middle of the night.  I have recovered using some interesting extracts from the Ruckus image file, a workable UBI that allows me to boot the second partition and reach a login prompt. but it's still a very broken system... how do i replace all the files i lost? I can't access the web or telnet, and SSH keys don't work. The GBICS aren't recognized (they showed up as green before the NAND erase, but now they have no lights). Good parts: I have restored the UBI in the config, and some of the resources mdt's. The secondary image does extract and install SOME packages, so I have tfpt and the normal operations, but things are very broken. console and simple ssh are all I'm working with. By the way, I had to extract the UBI to create a bin file and install it from a USB drive after mapping the memory it resides on. It's working, but what a pain. So, is there a FULL image that can be installed that i dont have, or can someone tell me an advanced restore procedure? I have errors like." 

starting console application

cp: can't stat '/.pkg/libpam/etc/*': No such file or directory

would love to restore everything, including all packages and files, to factory settings... but how do i get there from here?

Hi there, 

Have you tried to do a software recovery procedure? Since TFTP is working properly, you can connect to the switch using a console connection. You can first upgrade the switch to a UFI version; I recommend any 8095x version. 

Here is the link to the guide:
