Hi there,
Today I tried to get back from cm12 to stock rom. I flashed, then tried to reboot ... nothing.
The phone is absolutely dead. No light when connected to power, no vibration when pressing the power button, no fast boot, no recovery mode. I tried to press power button over one minute, I tried to press for 20 seconds five times... nothing.
The device is absolutely dead. "adb devices" / "fastboot devices" show nothing, my Mac does not even see anything on the usb-port.
I cannot imagine how this is even possible. Is it really possible to destroy a device with flashing?
Has anybody have a hint for me?
S.
It's entirely possible to brick a device with flashing, in fact it's the most likely way to brick a device. Exactly what did you flash? And using what method?
Transmitted via Bacon
I used the method described here (xda-dev forum) with the stock rom from cygn.com : cm-11.0-XNPH44S-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip
all the flashes went fine, then I gave : "fastboot reboot" and got back " rebooting... finished. total time 0.005s". (And a black screen)...
What a pitty

Did you use a toolkit or did you do it manually?
//edit
Wow somehow I got threads mixed up while switching back and forth from Tapatalk and chrome. Sorry ignore what I wrote lol.
From what I've read, the colorOS stuff is the way to recover from a bricked phone. I don't have any experience in it though so I can't help much there. I would seek advice from that colorOS thread and hopefully you're able to recover

If going back from cm12 to cm11s then the cm11s firmware files need to be flashed also.
Are you able to get back into fast boot mode still?

The stock images contain the firmware so that isn't the issue.
The phone is practically dead, so colorOS seems to be no solution as I don't know how to flash it without usb connection. But thanks for the hint.
What I do not understand: What could have gone so wrong that the whole power circuit is damaged? I thought, that flashing only affects the internal "hard disk".
Does anyone know what exactly happens on powering on a working phone?

Nobody said anything about the power circuit being damaged, and it almost definitely isn't. That isn't the cause of a brick, what's most likely wrong is the partitions are corrupted, so it has no information telling it how to boot, what to boot into, or even to boot at all.
You didn't answer my question earlier though, diff you flash manually or via a toolkit?
I'd suggest you try this out:

Well, I'm not entirely sure but I think that when you press the power button, you connect two ends, one end has a signal and the other end doesnt, when those two connect, the one without the signal gets a signal which will result in a battery going on maybe? Of this last battery part I'm not sure but that's how I guess it works...
I did the same as you - This fixed it for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55024864&postcount=136
Basically you have to use a Windows computer and the original ColorOS firmware to fix your partitions. Follow this guide and it will flash your One with ColorOS, then you can flash TWRP and go on to flash CM11S.
It worked for me but it was a bit of a pain.

Sorry, I mixed up two answers... I did it all with the fastboot commands (e.g. fastboot flash userdata cm11s\userdata_64G.img)
Thank you all a lot for your hints - I will try to fix it with a windows computer and keep you informed.

Well, that did the trick, thank you very much! Using Windows the phone was detected as a Qualcom mass storage. I could then use the tool that directly flashed the stock cm11.
Again, thanks a lot!

I rooted the phone properly, then I installed a wrong kernel : hells-Core_b47-kk-CM_anykernel.zip (http://d-h.st/users/hellsgod/?fld_id=28949#files)
The phone doesn't boot up anymore, no fastboot, no adb, no hard factory reset. The only thing I can do is connect it to linux and send dd commands. I tried to push a new boot.img through that way but it didn't change anything. (I followed this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 with another boot.img obviously)
In Windows I get the QHSUSB_BULK USB device error.
Anyone could help me out?
Thanks!
= someone should pull boot partition for him so he can flash it.
With device off, you still have download/fastboot mode (Power & Volume + button) ?
If you have, find another PC with drivers properly installed.

How do you mean "Power & Volume + button"? When I hold power and volume button (I tried up, down and both together) it doesn't work. Screen stays black.
Power & Volume+ (Up, highest part of vol button) you should have fastboot mode.

It's for nexus4. I found it here I guess.
You guess? You didn't find it here, not in the OnePlus One section. My guess is you wandered into the N4 subforum by mistake. That's one very costly mistake. Unfortunately this is how flashing a kernel that's interned for an entirely different device usually ends. If you know it's for the Nexus, why on earth would you flash it on your OnePlus One?

By "here" I meant in xdadevelopers forums. I know it's a mistake. And at that time I didn't know it was ONLY for nexus. Any idea how to unbork it?
I just noticed that it's showing up as QHSUSB_BULK on your PC, you're bricked. I believe the only possible solution is to have a jtag repair done on it. But, you're probably gonna have a hard time finding someone that does jtag repairs on this phone.
All in all, you've learned a really important (and expensive) lesson here. XDA is made up of device-specific sections, when you own a device you absolutely must stay within your device's subforum.

I think your time would be better spent tying to locate someone who does jtag repairs on this device. You can't push a recovery to a partition that doesn't exist anymore.

Alright, thanks. I'll try to find someone in my country (Switzerland).
I was following Timmaaas 'How To' guide to a tee when I got to step #5 and and did the Reboot to find that my phone is now bricked. I was racking my brain trying to understand what I did wrong and I realize that I used the wrong Boot.img file when I flashed it!
I was having issues during the entire process and realized it was because I was using the CyanogenMod One X ROM instead of the XL. This was causing me to get an 'Error 7' until I switched to the XL and everything downloaded fine. However, I completely forgot to replace the Boot.img and ended up flashing my phone with the One X boot.img instead of the XL!
The phone is not responding at all. I did have it plugged into the computer and after it became bricked my computer downloaded the Qualcomm USB drivers for 9006 but its still not responding at all.
Is there anything I can do? It seems like all I need to do is change that one boot file and I would be golden. Please keep in mind this is my first Root so if you know of a way to fix I would really appreciate it if you can teach me in simple terms if possible.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate all you guys do at XDA you help an enormous amount of people. A donation from me is on the way! :good:
EDIT: I kept messing with the power button trying to boot it over and over and finally it launched to HTC one entry screen with the red text for a little less then 1 second but then shut back off. Maybe this gives some hope?
You're gonna need to get a jtag repair done. There's just no way for you to get the device to the bootloader in order to flash the right boot.img because it won't boot due to you borking the boot partition.

Are you able to issue adb commands? If you're seeing the splash screen then you may not be completely bricked. If the device is still showing as qualcommUSB then you're likely out of luck though.

There's no way the phone can get to the bootloader, it ain't gonna happen with a broken boot partition.

Okay, so I was flashing full stock + unroot using WugFresh Bacon Root Toolkit.
It got up to flashing the RPM, completed that and then rebooted into bootloader.. It never rebooted it just shut down and didn't come back on.
Dead screen, can't reboot into bootloader, fastboot, normal reboot, nothing on screen at all ever, the charging LED doesn't even come on.
Device is not recognised on my computer at all, under any device name.
Took the back casing off, unhooked the battery and rehooked it back on again.. Nothing.
Thinking the phone is well and truly f*cked.
What are my options guys? Contact Oneplus customer service and play roulette to see if I actually get a response from them within a 3 month period and then have to face the gigantic cost of posting the phone back to them from Australia on the hopes of getting a new one? Or just buy a new phone, the S6 just came out so that's an option.
Lesson: don't use toolkits.
Anyway, give this a try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732
If that doesn't revive your phone nothing will. There's no point in contacting OnePlus about this unless you're happy to pay for whatever repairs are needed, this doesn't fall under warranty.

"A hardware bricked OPO has nothing but a black screen (nothing ever comes on the screen, not even a boot logo), it might vibrate when a power button is pressed and held for 20 seconds, has no Recovery partition, no adb mode, and no fastboot partition. The device might be detected in Linux and you might be able to even send commands to it. In Windows, the bricked OPO should be detected as QHSUSB_BULK USB"
AS I SAID the device is not showing up on the computer, AT ALL. Under any device name.
It does not vibrate when I hold the power button for 20 seconds, it has no ADB, no fastboot, no nothing.

I know what a hard brick is. And as I said, many people who thought they were hard-bricked have revived their phones with that method. It isn't your usual detect-by-fastboot fix. Isn't it worth a try? Others in your situation have had success with it.
Plus, if your phone is actually 100% hard-bricked, why are you posting here? If that's the case there's absolutely nothing that can be done. You came here looking for help, I'm giving you the link to the one thing that has a chance of saving your phone.

Actually in this case I'm almost 100% sure it was due to the fact I had just installed Oxygen OS and was reverting back to stock from it. Had nothing to do with the toolkit. Not to mention, I have never had any problems with this toolkit in the past and I would still recommend it to people who want to save them self from hassle and wasting time. Thanks anyway.
By the way, anyone reading this: Stay the hell away from OxygenOS. Nothing but dramas from it, it seems. Not forgetting to mention the fact it is literally just a stock version of Lollipop anyway! Better off with CM12S or BlissPop or any of the CFW's out there.

I agree that there are better ROMs available for this phone, but that's just our opinion, heaps of people have been looking for a stock aosp experience on this phone and I think Oxygen is as close as you could get. As for the ROM itself causing problems, I don't think that's it. I flashed it to test it out and went back to my previous ROM without a single issue (as have many others). I think it's a matter of taking the care to flash the right firmware/modem before reverting back to whatever ROM was running previously, otherwise it's kinda asking for trouble.
So have you tried the unbrick method I linked you to? I'm not saying it's definitely going to fix your problem. What I'm saying is there have been several cases of this phone showing all the signs of being hard bricked, without it actually being hard bricked, and that's the fix that saved those phones. You might be hard bricked, or your phone might fall into the category that I just mentioned, but at this point anything has to be worth a try.

Read through it and the sole problem of why it won't work is that there is no communication with my phone via my computer at all. The point of that tutorial is to unbrick your device by manipulating what your computer see's as the device (Qualcomm generic hardware ID being reported) unfortunately I can't even see that. I think it's just a lost cause unfortunately. But thank you for taking an interest.
UPDATE: Wow what do you know? After trying for an hour of powering on/off and trying to fastboot and flashmode and all that jazz and no luck, tried it on my laptop and sure enough it popped up with the Qualcomm generic driver ID. Whole bunch of screwing around and now it is booting into ColosOS. Thanks guys for the links and offers of help!

Yeah, I'm just gonna wait for the CM12S OTA. Tried most every other ROM and was not impressed. This being said, I'm still buying an S6 in two days. Will be keeping my OPO to satisfy my ROM flashing/android manipulating needs and using the S6 for everything else a smart phone offers

Try plugging it into a different computer.. That was what worked for me.
Don't know if it was necessary (in fact I am almost certain it isn't) but In my haste I took off the back cover and unscrewed a thousand small screws with my jewellers kit and unplugged the battery and plugged it back in. Like I said, not necessary.
Even if it doesn't look like it's charging.. If you can't see it on a computer at all then keep it on charge for a few hours anyway.. It can't hurt.
Best of luck!

Instead of posting this multiple times in various threads (double posting is against the rules) you should ask this question in the unbrick thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732
Hello guys,
I apologize if this has been solved before but I wasn't able to find anything on it.
I have a oneplus one phone which I had running Ressurection Rom (I don't have the details as my father was using it for the last 2 years).
He dropped the phone and gave it to a shop for repairing of the screen. They repaired the screen but now they have somehow messed with the software where I am UNABLE TO BOOT TO FASTBOOT OR TRWP. The function of holding POWER + VOLUME DOWN or POWER + VOLUME UP doesn't work. When I attempt those two options, it still continues to boot as it normally would and then start optimizing apps. Does that for about 45 minutes and then just restarts and repeats the process.
I haven't messed around with android stuff for about a year now, so simplified instructions (rather step by step) would be extremely helpful.
Thank you so much for taking the time.

Hello, Thank you for your response.
I have tried the instructions that you provided and I am stuck in a place where the "Samsung" drivers for OPO are installed but the phone isn't detected by the computer when its plugged in. I assume that means the drivers aren't installed correctly. However, when I do open device manager and attempt to update or uninstall the drivers there isn't a device there that is representative of OPO.
How do I get to the point where the drivers can be installed without me having access to the phone. I can't really go into a bricked phone and turn on ADB etc.'
Thank you

Use Xp or win7(must).
Okay so I have attempted this a tiring number of times; initially the phone at least was going on to loading apps, now it just flashes on the Resurrection load screen and doesn't change at all. Also when I try to boot into recovery/fastboot, nothing happens.
I have also tried installing different drivers from like a samsung phone, nexus but to no avail.
Is there anyone who can perhaps TEAMVIEW me and help out or live chat?

I don't think so. If it is a battery issue he could go to fastboot since fastboot only uses a small amount of charge.

Try turning on your phone while connected to a charger.

I have, its definitely not a battery issue, because i have seen the phone stay on for an hour just on the bootscreen without being plugged in or anything.

Most probably your volume buttons were messed up during the repair. That's the only reason I can think of. There are some videos on YouTube about fixing the volume buttons.
So, I was trying to root my V20 I legit just purchased earlier today.
I followed the Dirty Santa guide, and it worked out great. I was in TWRP and I went to wipe the cache, and accidentally wiped the whole thing. While I was attempting to fix it, I was putting a MicroSD card back into the slot and knocked the battery out.
I know.
After messing with it for 5 hours, I finally got back to TWRP. In my state of exhaustion and frustration, I accidentally flashed an H918 ROM onto the phone in TWRP. It restarted, and now it's totally dead. Black screened. Won't turn on, can't use any button combinations to get it into fast boot nor recovery.
Any ideas?

nothing at all. and this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/h918-twrp-flashable-stock-firmwares-t3619671
I guess the 918 and 910 look TOO similar on a 1440P screen
sometimes you gotta laugh to keep from crying.
Luckily, it was only 240 dollars.

Ouch unfortunately this is a complete rom that updates every partition on your device including bootloader... which killed your device..:crying: if you managed to get back into your device their maybe a chance.. sorry for that..
918 bootloader on 910=brick. no way round that.
If that were to happen to me i think i would be trying everything even if it doesnt make sense LOL! (Like..... puting the phone on the fridge, or disarming the whole phone and disconnecting the motherboard and then reconnecting it again and all) ... But... I've never flashed a rom not intended for my device. I've always been careful with that.
You're in luck, download your stock rom & try my method...

will this work even if i can't get a screen?
Yep, I restored a total brick (would only boot into firmware restore screen)
Just follow the thread about installing & setting LGUP, replace the files with the contents of the zip & off you go...

this won't even get into any screen. i press power and get nothing.
Pull battery & reinsert. Pressing the up-volume key insert your usb cable (connected to PC), to get into download mode

Different story then... You will need QPST tools to at least flash the aboot partition (which contains the download mode), then you should be able to restore with LGUP.

do you know how to do that stuff?
I'd probably be able to work it all out if it was my phone. Google is your friend. On the other hand it would be faster to go to a professional shop (with tools such as octoplus or z3x) to do it for you for a fee if warranty is not an option.
All phones SHOULD be covered LG's warranty. I'm not sure if they'lll ask for proof of a receipt, but i'm pretty sure they will considering they asked for it when I sent in my LG tone platinums. If that's the case, ask the og owner if they still have it. No one is really developing for the H910 model anyways so you saved yourself some frustration in the long-run.
