Bricked. AudioFX Force Closes - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought this today and all I know is it's a 64gb One Plus and it was force closing every 2 seconds and basically not usable. After some searching I downloaded the One Plus toolkit and flashed it back to CM11s. It boots back up but I get the AudioFx has stopped every second. Some people have said you need to flash the sound zip and it will fix it. Well, I tried 2 different ones, med and high and still I get the force closing.
Then I found stock fastboot files and tried to bring it back to stock that way but I keep getting this when it gets to system:
checking product... OKAY [ 0.002s]
sending 'boot' (5606 KB)... OKAY [ 0.423s]
writing 'boot'... OKAY [ 0.091s]
ding 'recovery' (7458 KB)... OKAY [ 0.548s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 0.115s]
ding 'system' (774864 KB)... FAILED (remote: data too large)
I;ve tried this with multiple files and still get the same thing. I even restarted the computer a, updated the SDK and still can't do jack. I used the tool to flash back to CM11s, installed Twrp and tried to install a bone stock OTA rom by Caulkulin. I get failed to mount errors in recovery.
I'm stumped with this phone and need some help
thanks
edit: I know its not technically bricked, but its inoperable as a brick entails. I managed to flash all kinds of stock software, system images, etc but AudioFX still comes up.
Edit 2: I decided to flash a rom without audio fx, I choose Slim Kat, and it boots without the AudioFX but now it boots but after a few seconds will reboot. Over and over. Is this ONE Plus defective?

I have a cell phone store, guy came in to sell it, says he rooted it but couldn't get it to stop force closing.
Edit:

You can try format data from twrp this will do a clean install of OS but it will wipe whatever you have in you phone..but not the OS..This is different from data wipe..cache wipe..etc..It will prompt you to say yes or no if you want to wipe..

You can do that from fastboot with: fastboot format data ; but as stated, it WILL wipe everything on your device; copy your precious files to your pc.

I've already done a clean install from twrp, wipe data, system, cache, dalvik. Shouldn't that be clean enough? Why does the audiofx keep popping up?

That actually allowed me to flash system without the error! Unfortunately, I still get the audioFX has stopped when it boots

So it doesn't give me the -w error anymore earlier but now its giving me this:

Edit: I got it to finally flash all this and everything seemed to go smooth, until it boots the same goddamn audioFx force close. What is going on with this phone?

[Q] {Help} Can i get from Bootloop without losing the data?!

I woke up couple of days ago and found my mobile stuck on a boot loop "Probably after installing a permission applictaion" i wanted to get out of it without losing the data as i didnt make backup recently.
I followed instructions by @nick sutrich in the Thread Flash OPO To Stock CyanogenMod 11s androidheadlines.com/2014/07/android-flash-oneplus-one-stock-cyanogenmod-11s.html
using nexus toolkit and CM-11.0-XNPH22R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip.
Opened my phone into fastboot mood and ran the below commands from CMD:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash dbi sdi.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash LOGO logo.bin
fastboot reboot
I followed the instructions without the Lines "fastboot flash userdata userdata.img" and "fastboot flash userdata userdata_64g.img" and it worked for me and the OPO was back to life, i wanted to back it up so i tried to open the backup application but it seemed the device rooting was gone so i couldnt take a backup. I tried to find a way to root the device without losing the data but after restarting the device it again went to Bootloop and this time i cant get out of it even using the previous steps i used before.
Anyone can help me to get out of this without losing the data ?!

Exactly what are you wanting to back up? Apps? Personal data (images, music)? The ROM? All of the above?

Unfortunately you're probably right, I think you're gonna need to perform a proper full wipe including the user data. Your contacts should be synced with your Google account so they should be safe.

Bootloop! Unable to flash stock rom or lock bootloader (Help)

Hi. I can't get passed the google splash screen on a Nexus 5 D821 and could use some help.
Here are the facts:
* The owner of the device told me it bricked after an update.
* The Bootloader is unlocked. When i tried to lock i got the following message:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
...
OKAY [ 0.041s]
finished. total time: 0.041s
But it wasnt persistent. When given reboot comand the phone switched OFF instead. I turned it on to bootloader again and it was still unlocked.
* I tried flashing stock rom LRX22c manually after a failed attempt with the flash-all script. I got the following error for bootloader, radio, boot and recovery:
Code:
FAILED (remote: flash write failure)
* I tried erasing cache and flashing userdata but the after over 60 minutes waiting i came to the conclusion that i wasnt going anywhere and just rebooted the phone.
*The only thing im actually able to flash without an error message is system.img:
Code:
fastboot flash system ~/Downloads/hammerhead-lrx22c/image-hammerhead-lrx22c/system.img
target reported max download size of 1073741824 bytes

OKAY [ 30.934s]
writing 'system'...
OKAY [ 62.705s]
finished. total time: 93.767s
* I tried booting TWRP, but i was unable to mount the file system (perhaps because i wasnt able to flash it. i used "fastboot boot twrp.img").
Are phones technically able to get to splash screen or bootloader with a damaged NAND or EEMC chip? Im starting to consider the possibility of a hardbrick. Why would i be able to write system.img if that was the case though? Any help is welcome
===============================================
alright so im pretty sure its a hard brick. The emmc is dead. its a shame :/ guess ill just try to sell it for parts. I would delete this thread because its pretty useless, but i have created my account a few days ago, and i ddont know how to.
You've only flashed the system img?
Do all the img's one by one. Recovery, boot, system, radio, userdata. Then fastboot reboot

I have tried all of the imgs in their respective order. they all failed. i got the error
Code:
FAILED (remote: flash write failure)
. system.img was the only .img i was able to write, and i was wondering why. Also, when i try fastboot reboot the phone switches off. It doesnt reboot.

Bricked my Honor 6 H60-L04 Indian variant while trying to install .zip files.

I recently upgraded my phone to EMUI 2.3 to EMUI 3.1 (Android lollipop 5.1), and installed CWM and rooted it. Two days ago I have downloaded cerebus app from Rom manager app and it installed by rebooting into recovery. Then a couple of minutes after rebooting the phone keep on crashing and shutting down randomly and when I tried to reboot it won't reboot but stuck for sometime at the Honor logo and since then I've tried every possible flashing and resetting I found here on XDA.
I still have access to fastboot and that is how I am able to flash ROM s and when I am trying to use the three button method it is stopping at 90 %. I couldn't even access it if my phone is not connected to my PC.
Now I've exhausted all the procedures in here and some other sites.
Somebody please suggest me something, help me.
Thank you.
Follow these steps to get it back to stock:
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.
NOTE: If the manual flashing doesn't works or you get any errors, then first try only the force update method, i.e Putting the UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD and pressing Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously after switching off your phone.
Thanks Brother.

I have the same problem with a H60-L12.
I noticed, that I get that error when I try to flash a boot.img from a different EMUI version pack.
In my case, the phone had EMUI3.0 and I can write any of the EMUI3.0 boot.img's, but cannot write a boot.img from an EMUI 3.1 or EMUI4.0 update.app

Thnks you for replying so quickly.
I'm using "Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C675B822_India_Flipkart India"
which is the latest stock firmware for Honor 6 H60-L04.
I have tried to force update with the thee button method and it worked (completed 100%)but unfortunately the phone is now in bootloop. This definitely made the phone a little better but once it got to the EMUI update screen its restarting again.
Thanks again man I though nobody would reply for this. its been so long since ive posted this.

I have tried to force update with the thee button method and it worked (completed 100%)but unfortunately the phone is now in bootloop. This definitely made the phone a little better but once it got to the EMUI update screen its restarting again.
Thanks again man I though nobody would reply for this. its been so long since ive posted this.

You have to use that last Lollipop package which you were on before, try the three button method with that and report.

Yeah man, I've tried to flash recovery of the last Lollipop Rom and still the same message FAILED (status read failed (Too many links)).
Is there any other way that we can try to unbrick the device?
Thank you man.

When you flashed manually, did you used the same IMG files from the last installed ROM?
You can´t extract and flash IMG files of a LP ROM in a last installed MM ROM and vice versa.

Help me unbrick my Honor 8

Well guys, I think I did it. I think I really did brick my Honor 8.
Phone details: New Honor 8, Model is FRD-AL10.
It came with the Chinese ROM, locked. What I did was to unlock it with DC unlocker, flash TWRP as custom recovery and root it.
Later, I had some problems with installing Open Gapps so I decided that I will flash a custom ROM unto it. What I chose was this RROS. I followed all of the instructions, made sure my EMUI was up to date, deleted all of my fingerprints (although I did not disable the PIN lock). I performed a factory reset using TWRP, flashed RROS and started facing errors.
Trying to power up the phone I found out it was going into bootloop, not able to start up. Only recovery available was not TWRP, but the default Huawei eRecovery, that lets you restore the phone using the Wi-Fi to download the needed files. Panicking for my new phone, I tried to restore my phone this way, only when it completed the download it failed restoring.
I have tried to unbrick my phone using the Honor 8 Multi-Tool: flashing BOOT.img, CUST.img, Recovery, USERDATA.img and SYSTEM.img. The firmware I downloaded and extracted UPDATE.app from is this: FRD-AL10_C00B135_Firmware_China_Nonspecific_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_05013LBP.zip.
The Multi-Tool's log is this:
Code:
12:51:55: All images are found, everything is ready for the unbricking process.
12:52:01: Unbricking started. Your computer may freezes during the process.

As you see, SYSTEM.img cannot be written for some reason, and CUST.img is for some reason the wrong file.
I also tried to flash UPDATE.app using a microSD card and the Volume up+Volume down+Power combination, but it fails after 5%, Saying:
Code:
Software install failed!
Incompatibility with current version.
Please download the correct update package.
So either my phone is completely dead, or I am missing something here.
Can anyone help me restore my phone to normal function?
you need to find the rollback package, you had android 7 but you're trying to flash android 6

Flashed magisk patched boot image - killed phone :(

I tried to root by flashing the patched boot image as describe in https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...agisk-root-honor-view-10-mate-10-pro-t3749280. After that, the phone went into a bootloop.
When I get to the eRecovery screen, I tried 'Download latest version and recovery.' It got to 'getting package information from server' but then stopped with 'getting package info failed.'
I then tried 'Wipe data/factory reset' and it rebooted but nothing changed.
I don't know what else to try with this phone. None of the current versions of twrp would run on it. I've never bricked a device in years of rooting.

You need to restore your original ramdisk. Also, you have to patch your own ramdisk.img with Magisk Manager if you want to try rooting your device.
And btw, this is a development forum, not General or Q&A one. Read carefully before trying to mod this device, or you will end up with an expensive brick.
please contact me on hangouts i may be able to help [email protected]
You can download the appropriate images to restore your device below. These are for the US variant (BKL-L04)

I flashed the system.img and the recovery_ramdisk.img. It booted to the eRecovery screen again.
I tried 'Download latest version and recovery' and it failed with the 'getting package info failed' error again.
I then tried 'Wipe data/factory reset' and unlike before, it actually went through and said it was successfully completed. But then it rebooted twice and went back to the eRecovery screen again.
Any ideas on how to proceed from here?
ETA: When I pressed vol up/power after this it went to a screen which said 'software install failed' instead of the recovery screen I thougt it would go to. After the first time, pressing vol up/power goes to the EMUI screen with the options of 'Reboot' 'Wipe data/factory reset' and 'Wipe cache partition.'

I did 'fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img' and it still does a couple of reboots and then goes back to the EMUI screen with the recovery/reset/reboot/shutdown options.
In summary, this morning I did:
'fastboot flash system system.img' which resulted in 7 occurances of 'sending sparse system x/7 (xxxx KB)...' - which I have never seen before but all finished with OKAY
'fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img'
'fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img'
Is there something else I could do or redo in a particular order?

Aside from fastboot happing very quickly (< 1 second even for 32 meg recovery_ramdisk.img) everything seems to work fine... The phone just no longer boots - it trys a few times - displaying the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" screen for quite a while and the non-animated blue honor screen briefly and then ends up in EMUI eRecovery.
Are these files still up to date? Or perhaps there were newer versions on my phone and that's why flashing the older ones isn't working?
Also worth noting, I'm flashing from a mac with Android sdk fastbook:
$ fastboot --version
fastboot version 0.0.1-4500957
Installed as /Users/sek/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/fastboot
Thanks for any help / tips!

Hi, what helped you there? I have a similar situation.
"Hi,
I need some advice on what can be done with my Honor View10 as it keeps gracing a bootloop followed by fasrboot mode.
Mine is a C675 variant and I was on 190 when I decided to unroot and update the device to 218. Once that was done, I flashed a patched recovery_ramdisk boot image that was patched using magisk to support it. Worked fine. Did a reboot and it got stuck in a bootloop.
I have tried flashing other patch.imgs too, due instance tried extracting recovery.img of the current version of rom, flashed it, no luck!
Tried flashing the patched version of that, still did not help.
I am on EMUI9, any help please?
Also can anyone help me with the link of one of the latest versions of C675 update please? "
This is what happened to me
