Bricked. Any hope for data? - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I bricked my phone while changing the boot logo. (If you're on CM12, don't flash any logo.bin's unless verified by OP.)
I am using this guide to unbrick it, hopefully it works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732
It involves flashing ColorOS.. so I guess it deletes my data.
I need a few files.. is there any hope to get into device before flasging ColorOS?

Why don't you just go straight back to CM11S via fastboot commands?

the issues started when i tried to install Cataclysm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518660) they have a thing in there saying that its a known problem to not get signal when flashing twrp
(My mobile signal/radio isn't working anymore!
- There's a bug with TWRP that remove/corrupt your baseband during flash. Please refer to the twrp team for a fix.)
no link and i cant find it on google so any help would be appreciated

You can always try the second method for the "BACK TO STOCK" guide from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
Even better you can use the instructions from the second post of that thread to wipe clean all your partitions prior to flashing them via fastboot.

his first priority is fixing it. his second priority is possibly finding out why he borked it and not making the same mistake again. i've borked stuff learning and fixed it with toolkits.
not everyone wants to learn ADB or fastboot commands, or install the SDK, and NOT EVERYONE HAS TO. not everyone is a would-be developer

Possible Brick after attempting to install Xposed

Some back story. My N5 was stock/rooted, with stock recovery. I had installed the beta Xposed framework, using this post as a guide. Following the install, during the reboot, my phone never restarted. Since then it has not been able to turn on.
Things I have tried:
I have done method 1 & 2 of this guide
I am able to lock and unlock the bootloader, it is currently locked.
I have tried the command fastboot -w
I am unable to perform a factory reset, it hangs at /data
If there is any ideas as to what I should do next, please don't hesitate to let me know.
If I am able to get the Tamper Flag reset, then my plan is to look into the RMA option.
Also, I have been following this thread for info.

Same thing as before. All of the erase commands get processed, but when it gets the the system.img it fails to write it.
I think you've done her in. Can you get into recovery? You might be able to push the tamper zip and then run it in recovery.

So this is just a shot in the dark, but the fastboot command screenshot you posted, you had the command "fastboot flash bootloader."
I haven't read the articles you're using, but is there a reason you're flashing a bootloader after unlocking it? Wouldn't that just lock the bootloader again?
I'd start fastboot oem unlock, fastboot flash recovery, and then adb sideload the .zip you are using once you're in recovery.
Good luck.

I am just following the guide for How to return to stock. But to answer your question, no it does not re-lock the bootloader.
Here is some additional information. When I perform a factory reset in recovery it freezes while formatting /data. And when flashing the stock images, I am able to flash everything successfully except for the system.img

[Q] Flashed wrong Franco Kernel on Nexus 5

you might not be able to fix it. flashing a kernel meant for a different device can vary easily brick any device.
1. if you can get into your recovery, try flashing the right kernel, even an older version if possible.
2. if that doesnt work, flaah the factory img via fastboot and hope for the best.
3. if still no luck, theres a nexus 4 thread in their general section meant just for accidents like this, find it and try what it says.

You can solve flashing a wrong kernel, but don`t ever flash a N4 bootloader or you are definately screwed. Get rid of anything N4 related from your fastboot folder bro..
The point in the bootloader is for this very thing. Just plug it into your pc and fastboot it
Unless you have a kernel/ rom zip or backup already in the memory then just use recovery

No mobile data / Baseband Unknown [SOLVED]

Hi,
My mobile data no longer works. I've done a lot of research, tried every fix, to no avail. My WiFi works, it's only my mobile data.
Things I've tried:
Following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061
Completely reverting to stock
Flashing a stock, rooted 44S + radio files
Flashing ColorOS, and then flashing CM11S using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/fix-people-corrupt-efs-mobile-data-t2836389
Sticking the SIM card in my Galaxy S3 to see if it works (spoiler: it does)
Restoring previous nandroid while data was working fine
Under ColorOS, I have a notification that says "The NV partition is invalid!". Just thought I'd mention that.
Stupid me didn't backup my EFS. No APNs, unknown IMEI, unknown baseband, etc.
I'm at a loss guys. I'd greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Niko

I'm sure there's a way without TWRP. I'd try to lend a hand but I've been away from OnePlus for so long I don't know how it's different than my Pixel 2 XL.
I'd dig around the OnePlus 5T forums. software wise, it should be the same. You'll probably find a quick solution over there. Good luck!
EDIT: Now I'm curious... Does anyone know if there is a way to lash a factory Oxygen OS image through fastboot commands? That would solve your problem, but I don't know if that's something specific to Pixel devices.
I hope u unlocked ur bootloader, also how the heck did u already soft brick
see if this works

What did you even do to soft brick it? You could try fast boot flashing the boot.img again and see if it boots, get the one from the root thread if you're on the latest Oxygen OTA.

fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

Had to critical unlock in fastboot and restored to 5.1.3 by flashing all imgs. Then booted up and flashed from local storage 5.1.5. Phone is back up and running again ?
