Dear Timmaa
after Code:
fastboot oem device-info
It should have a couple of lines there, both with the flag set to true.
Please note: this will erase all user data from your device, it is best to do this before turning your phone on for the first time, otherwise make sure you backup anything important.
the fastboot is still on the screen, how do i move to step 2 ? just remove the cable? force restart or how ?
Are you saying that fastboot isn't working?

i see fastboot in english and chinese on the phone, i do the commands on cmd prompt, but nothing happens to the phone when i finish the steps.
You didn't answer my question though, is fastboot working? Are you getting a response in your command prompt when you enter commands? Try this:
Code:
fastboot devices
What's the result?
Transmitted via Bacon
yes it was working in the cmd, everything was fine, except the step of the .img
now when i start the phone, i have an icon on top saying supersu is ready to root, tap to root.

Yes I got time to watch your video. Everything you're doing is correct, the reason that your attempts to flash a recovery with fastboot failed is because there was a major flaw in my guide, somehow I had left the command incomplete the last time I edited it. I've fixed it now though. So, if you still have the downloaded recovery named as 'recovery.img' the correct command is this:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The reason you couldn't find the 'update cm recovery' option in Developer Options is because my guide is more aimed at people who have the international model and therefore have CM11S installed on their device, 'update cm recovery' is a CM11S option and so isn't present on ColorOS.
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, but thankyou for taking the time to make such a clear and descriptive video to outline the problem you were having. If you have any further questions I'd be happy to help you.

The ColorOS version is the same as the international version apart from missing just one LTE band. Have you double checked your APN settings? Go into Settings/Mobile Network/Access Point Names and make sure they're correct.

Hi XDA.
This was a thread I started last night ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/one-chinese-import-flash-to-bacon-issue-t2923211) and where it ends is where I realised my device wasn't unlocked. "yeah I know"
So I downloaded and followed these steps shown on this great tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O2e_R_TbVg
But now my phone appears to have no OS. It wont show up as a USB device to allow me to put a zip across to install.
I have learnt alot this evening and am enjoying the process and this is the last step....
If I haven't bricked my phone!
Any help much appreciated.
That's the video that gets you to use a toolkit, right? My first piece of advice: ditch the toolkit and never use one again. They're more trouble than they're worth and clearly cause problems. Plus doing things manually allows you to actually learn a great deal of crucial stuff that you really need to know. Anyway, please provide some more information on your device, is the bootloader unlocked now? Do you have TWRP recovery installed?
Transmitted via Bacon
Hi and thanks for replying. I followed the guide and unlocked and installed TWRP and can access it easily but when tring to re boot the device it just stays on the +1 logo.
I have subsequently tried unlocking again if that was the problem.
Boot the phone into TWRP, go into the wipe menu and perform a factory reset, then reboot the phone.
Transmitted via Bacon
Ok just tried a factory reset and it failed stating among many things.
E:Unable to mount '/data
E:Unable to mount storage
Also the first line was E:could not mount / data and unable to find cry pto folder.
It might be time to start fresh, you're gonna have to try flashing the fastboot images I think.
Transmitted via Bacon
Ok thanks again for your support.
With this in mind can you please give me a nod in the right direction on how to do this please. I appreciate im a little out of my depth here. Swimmimg in deep android.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guides-bacon-timmaaas-how-to-guides-t2839471
Follow step 8.
Yep, that's the one. Keep in mind though that I haven't yet updated that to suit the latest version (38R), so you can download the latest version from here:
http://dist01.slc.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-11.0-XNPH38R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip
And then modify the last command to suit.
Transmitted via Bacon
Ok I'm going in! Will follow those 8 steps however the phone doesn't show as a USB device any more so will this work?
Really sorry guys but step two is a no-go as the device wont boot to enable me to get into dev options.

All you need to worry about is section 8. They're not steps that need to be followed in sequence, they're separate sections.

Ok that's a relief. I have completed step one and it says its unlocked.
Ok so im downloading the OS you suggested but cannot get the phone to come up as a USB device to put the new OS onto the internal memory.

Make sure the zip file is in the fastboot folder aswell and make sure the name of the file you use in the command is identical to the name of the zip file.
After the final step your phone should boot again.
Hey guys,
New to the OPO, just came from the galaxy note 2 and love the phone but have an issue.
When I am in an app like Facebook and am scrolling, while I am mid scroll (haven't lifted my finger from the screen) it opens a picture or the comments section for some reason.... Anyone else having this issue and is there a possible fix?
Thank you!
Update your ROM. ROMs with older touchscreen drivers are known to cause this.
I have this problem also on 38R ... I had also that touchscreen issues like people said here after 38R update but yesterday it gone.

The term 'better' is very subjective, only you can answer that after testing out some ROMs. What do you mean by 'download mode'? Go into recovery, select backup from the main menu, name sure system, data, and boot are checked, and swipe to backup.

If the problem is still there in recovery you possibly have a hardware fault (faulty digitizer). But, it might be worth flashing the stock fastboot images, just in case that fixes it up. Check out section 8 in my guide thread for instructions:

I have a problem with rooting my Oneplus One. It all goes well until twrp needs to start.
My screen is all black and its not reacting to anything. I have to wait till the battery is empty to turn off.
Also when its in this stage my laptop gives me an error: 'USB Device is Not Recognized'.
I hope you can help me.
Did you check the md5 of the recovery image before flashing it? Please copy/paste the text from the command prompt on a flash attempt.

It all goes well until i have to restart into bootmode where i have to flash su.

You can always turn off your phone by holding the power button for 10 seconds.
Try fastbooting the latest TWRP. => http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/bacon
It's possible that you have flashed a corrupted file or even a TWRP for a different device.
Alright
Ive tried it again.
At the moment it should boot into twrp the screen turns black.
It shows up as normal adb device, its still connected but my screen wont show me a picture.
I did it with Oneplus One Toolkit 2.0.
Did everything the steps told me.
You still haven't answered my questions...

I didnt check the md5 hash but due to the tool its the right iso.
And i cant copy something out of the command promt because it closes automatically.

Stop using a tool to do it and do it yourself. It's simple. I have detailed instructions in my guide thread.

Plus, you should always check the md5 of any file you're going to flash to your device. It's possible you have a corrupt download. If you flash the recovery yourself the command window won't choose automatically, then you can copy/paste the text here. Bit the first thing I'd be doing is checking the md5.

My problem is you came here asking for help, and then it took me asking three times over the course of 19 hours for you to answer me. We need this information in order to help you, which I'm trying to do. Electronics are predictable, this process is predictable, but you need to go about it the right way (checking the md5, flashing manually with fastboot). Now, have you only tried to flash TWRP or have you tried ow odd the other recoveries too?

I rooted My phone, OPO, on CM11S, installed TWRP, flashed SuperSU,, and unchecked CM recovery. Everything seemed working fine. Yesterday I installed the just released OTA, I lost root access. I then re-flashed it with SuperSU, gained root access again. However, I am having problems with fastboot. Problem 1, phone won't boot into fastboot mode when I pressed both power and volumn up buttons. Problem 2, adb command "reboot bootloade" will only reboot the phone and fails to put it into fastboot mode. Problem 3, The only ways I can boot the phone into fastboot mode are either via the option in the power menu or via TWRP. Either way, even the phone showed it was in the fastboot mode, it still refused to take the fastboot command. The system responded with "no permission fastboot" instead. How can it be fixed or restored? Thanks for help in advance.

If so, your screwed. You will have to find a way back in to unlock it.
