Code:

1. Have a working system.
2. Fail it with upgrades.
3. Stop system.

6. Go in the drive find root folder.
7. su
8. cd /mount_point/root/@
9. rm -Rf *

11. cp -pr @(put here the last known good working config string)/* @/*
12. (wait)
13. Dismount flash drive/SD Card
14. Put in RP

Let me explain.

This is one of the great things about BTRFS - backup of the file system.
So basically you mount the media with the now f****d up root system partition.
You go and delete it (I just like the feeling of making what made me angry disappear). Then go to the last known good copy of this partition and copy it in root. That is all ...

Windows does not support BTRFS ... but when was it good for anything except gaming?
