[Q] Bricked OPO, can't access recovery or bootloader. - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I believe I've bricked my OPO. I was trying to flash OxygenOS today and it wasn't flashing completely right. I decided to not try anymore and flash back to 05Q. However, in doing that I bricked my phone. Volume- and power doesn't bring me to recovery, I can't access bootloader. However when I press volume- and power it still sounds the connection and I can see it in my device managers, I just can't do anything. When I try to do anything through ADB it says no fastboot devices found. CUrrently, my phone doesn't have boot.img, recovery.img, and system.img. I do have a latest backup of my 05Q from this morning before I did all of this.
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Oneplus has no OS installed.

Hello all
I have a baaaaad situation going on!
I have been trying to delete me superuser in twrp, but something terrible happened....
1) When i boot my 1+ it just stays black.
2) When i boot into fastboot it just shows a linux penguin logo and noting else.
3) When i go to twrp i can do multiple things like adb sideload, and i can push a rom to my phone.
-> but everytime i do this and try to install it, it just fails and says i have no OS installed when i want to reboot.
I've contacted support from 1+ but nothing yet so far...
Anyone here who can help me? (i'm open for teamviewer and even want to pay the person who can fix my Oneplus)
Hoping one of you can help me!
Greetz
Michel
(I have a picture of the logo but i can't post i due to beiing a new member here )
You can't communicate with your phone through fastboot and ADB? Oh ****...
How did you manage to replace the bootloader with a Linux penguin? When you go into fast boot and type does fast boot devices does the pc recognize the phone?

The thing is, i was rooting my device and after i've done that my rootchecker told me the root was incomplete...
So smart as i was i started a complete unroot, to do it all over again...
In this process my device got stuck... so i booted in TWRP recovery to uninstall everything from the root over there..
Here i managed to delete my complete OS.... 8-|
After reading every tutorial and guide i figured out that on my phone my developper otions were NOT enabled...
So i contacted the oneplus support, who even remotely connected to my computer from Beijing to Belgium.. but never the less my problem was not solved and i was still stuck on the f*cking Linux logo...
So i started searching for a flashable ROM (in this case i found Pacman Nightly Signed) to flash on my phone through command on Windows.
After many hours and even more attempts i managed to go in adb en flash it by the sideload way.
So not through "adb push romname.zip /sdcard...." but by "adb sideload romname.zip /sdcard...."
And the pacman rom started to install and booted my phone to language selection...
PS: i cried :cyclops:
Glad to hear that you fixed your phone. I wouldn't contact oneplus support for things like this, chances are you'll get a reply back from xda faster as well as searching on your own to resolve the issue.

More info required. What recovery do you have installed? Exactly what error are you getting when flashing the ROMs? You probably just need to flash the right firmware first.

I'm using TWRP
When I did manage to push some files to the device and tried to install them it failed instantly. I tried Cyan Hacker V2 the new Oxygen os and cm-11 and one of my backups, but all of them had the same issue. I can only vaguely remember the command which I think said 'partitions updating' then under the completed tab at the top of the screen in Red text it said failed.
This isn't my main concern anymore the device has died and won't charge so I can't get it to boot into fast boot or Recovery all its done when connected to the charger is light up with a black screen, vibrate then turn off, it repetats that a couple of times then it goes off again and no life at all, if I leave it of the charger for bit and try plugging it in again I get the same flashing black screen but again no charge.

Yep, it's almost definitely a case of not having flashed the right firmware after coming from Oxygen. Leave it plugged in for eight hours, don't touch it in that time, then try to power it on again.

Okay I'll leave it through the day. After I get it to charge how will I get an OS onto it and how will I ensure that its got the right firmware? And if it all goes caput is this a valid reason for a renewed device from oneplus?

If you want to flash a Lollipop ROM the best way is to first perform a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) in TWRP, then flash this firmware:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B98G0KTJwnBFdVgxZ0x5RzNJSE0/edit?usp=docslist_api
Then flash this modem:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B98G0KTJwnBFU0Z1TUIyVE50WW8/edit?usp=docslist_api
Then go to the reboot menu and reboot back to recovery. Then flash whatever Lollipop ROM you want to use, and reboot your phone. If you still have no success after doing that then you'll need to try to flash the stock images with fastboot, I have a download and instructions in section 8 of my guide thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2839471
If that gets your phone booting then you can go ahead and try the above steps again to flash a Lollipop ROM.
No, this wouldn't be covered by warranty. Unlocking the bootloader and rooting this device doesn't void the warranty but they've stated that if you brick the phone while flashing (or the like) then it isn't covered. This is a case of user error, you didn't ensure that you had the correct firmware before flashing.

okay
thank you for all your help hopefully I'll be posting later with some good news
So I have gained access to the device in both TRWP and fastboot mode but I have encountered more problems,
Theirs is no OS, but their is a recovery the logical thing here would be boot it in fast boot and push files to the device and install those using the recovery easy right!!
no the boot loader is locked and so I can't flash anything I've downloaded about 2 or 3 tools kits to get it unlocked, when I use them the device reboots but wont load into fastboot, I can get it to with some tampering it doesn't have an exact method
any ideas guys?

Why did you lock your bootloader? You need to go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/mod-reset-unlock-tamper-bit-t2820912
Flash that through TWRP and your bootloader will be unlocked again.
PS. You can't push files to the device in fastboot mode, only adb can push files and adb doesn't work in fastboot mode. Once you've unlocked your bootloader again you'll need to flash the stock images with fastboot. Download and instructions are in section 8 of my guide thread:

I have similar issues at the moment. I tried to flash over Oxygen OS and it kept failing. Upon factory wiping the current OS to put CM 12 Nightly, I accidentally deleted all of my data. Now 54,xxx MB is on my phone, meaning it wiped all internal memory, the system is only 20MB and data is 6MB. I tried to plug in my phone to fast boot mode, and my computer wouldn't read it. I did all I could to maybe get it to read, and not a single thing popped up. I do not believe my bootloader is locked, but there could be a possibility that it could. Any suggestions to get an OS pushed over through ADB or Fastboot??

[Q] Flashed .img instead of .bin... help needed

I tried to change the boot image on my OnePlus One and accidentally flashed a file called logo.img (I don't know where it came from) instead of the logo.bin using Fastboot ("fastboot flash LOGO logo.img" where it should have been "fastboot flash LOGO logo.bin"). As a result, I can't boot into CyanogenMod, TWRP, or Fastboot.
How might I flash the correct logo.bin file over the corrupted partition if I can't access either of the two methods for flashing?
So the phone won't power on at all? And how do you not know where it came from? How could you possibly flash something to your device without knowing what it is or where it came from?

Yeah, it was hard bricked. I attempted to make my own boot logo.bin file a few months ago and forgot to delete it from my SDK folder when I realized it was screwed up. I had forgotten that that was still there so I accidentally flashed that instead of the correct .bin.

No, it was hard bricked. I've soft bricked my device several times and have easily been able to pull it out. The boot partition was messed up as a result of my trying to fix it. Nothing was working - recovery, fastboot, Cyan, and I was getting QSUSB_BULK in device manager.

That's still a soft-brick, it's just more severe. A hard brick will not power on or respond to any stimulus at all, the only way to fix a hard brick is by soldering onto the main board itself and using jtag to repair it.

Stock OPO, No Fastboot, can only enter Cyanogen Recovery

Need some help.
I am usually pretty good with working with firmware and software issues.
I have a friends OPO which they had issues with and somehow got it into a state where the only thing it seems I can possible do is get it into the stock Cyanogen Recovery.
I tried going into fastboot (Vol Up. + Power) but this yields no result it always ends up booting into cyanogen recovery.
As far as I know (with this friend not being very technical) i doubt it had an unlocked bootloader, or even USB debugging on prior to the crash.
The only way I can get the PC to recognize the phone in ADB mode is to enter the Apply update section and hit apply from ADB which puts me into ADB for sideloading.
If I could get it into Fastboot I would be able to move forward.
When it boots, I see a quick flash of some sort of error/failure screen but it is so quick I cannot identify the image.
Try this:

I actually came across that thread while waiting for a reply to my own. In the state that it is in the msm tool is the only thing that can help me?
Well without fastboot you're going to find it very difficult to get anything done. CM recovery isn't really of any help because it can't actually flash anything that you need it to flash. I find it very odd that you can't get to fastboot. Have you tried adb commands while in recovery?
Transmitted via Bacon
I tried the button configurations to get into fastboot to no avail, it just boots into cyanogen recovery. As for adb while connected, only way I can use it is by going into the section to sideload an update. Within there I can adb, but most commands give me "error: closed".
Adb reboot bootloader doesn't work?

[Q] Can't Flash TWRP after CM 12 OTA

I am not able to flash TWRP recovery after updating my OPO to CM OS 12 via OTA.
I have tried everything and followed every step precisely.
After enabling USB debugging & turning off update recovery in Developer Options.
I used command prompt and flashed the recovery image.
Everything happens smoothly and the command prompt shows flashing successful.
But after rebooting the phone and going to recovery. I get Cyanogen Recovery again and again.
I even tried "fastboot erase recovery" before "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Even then nothing happens. Cynogen Recovery comes again and again.
I have two OPO and another one is running CM11s.
I flashed TWRP without any problem in my old OPO.
If anyone knows the solution, please help.

Nothing has changed, try powering off your phone completely after flashing, and then using the power + volume down combo to get to recovery.
