Bricked? Please help!

My OPO is 100% stock currently running the second latest OTA update(coz I'd received a notification saying theres new update today but i haven't updated)
It was working perfectly fine until just now when I withdraw it from my pocket it shows the 1+ Powered by android loading screen.
I re-booted and it stuck at the same screen. I then boot into recovery and factory reset, wipe data wipe cache and boot and its still stucking at the same loading screen.
P/S : I was on wifi for a while in the cafe maybe it had downloaded the new OTA and maybe when the screen rubs against my pants in my pocket idk how it unlocks itself and it update itself with the downloaded(maybe) software update and eventually it dies. This might be one of the possibilities because if otherwise, it just dies itself without reason lel.
I've researched abit and someone suggested me to flash a stock rom using fastboot mode and PC adb command prompt which idk wtf is that lel. But in order to use that u need to unlock bootloader right, being 100% stock my bootloader is probably locked right?
omfg please guide me through this i need to solve this asap i dont have a backup phone. :silly::silly::silly::silly::silly::silly:

Second mentioned flashing methods are most easiest prrocess
Factory reset and flash u r zip file

Problem solved. Detailed solutions for noobs like me!
OKAY here is what I DID. it may not work for u, but it worked for me. so if ur gonna follow these steps do it at ur own risk. and please dont expect me to helpp u to counter any special circumstances i.e. any condition not stated here coz im a perfect noob too, lel.
FYI this is called flashing roms in fastboot mode. And i had successfully flashed my OPO back into CM12.
STEPS :
Using a windows PC:
1) Download the UNIVERSAL ABD driver for Windows and freaking INSTALL IT.
2) Download the OnePlus One CM12 factory image “cm-12.0-YNG1TAS0YL-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip” (fastboot flashable package).
3) Download the flashing tools. ( it contains 4 things: adb.exe AdbWinApi.dll AdbUsbWinApi.dll and fastboot.exe)
the download links are available from this link:
ok im not allowed to attach links but u can search for it " webtrickz[dot]com how to flash cm12 factory image fastboot mode"
however, the steps given in the above link are crappy as well so follow mine =P just do the downloadings only from there.
4) Extract the 4 things from the flashing tools zip file into a folder, name it whatever****ing folder u want. we call it folder X.
5) and then extract all the things in the CM12 rom zip file into folder X.
6) Boot ur phone into fastboot mode simply by pressing and holding down the power button and the volume up button simultanoesly until u see "fastboot mode" with an Android face appears.
7) Connect ur phone to your PC with a USB cable. Now ur phone should be connected to the pc in fastboot mode.
8) open up folder X. then right click in folder X while holding down the Shift button, and click on "Open command window here"
p/s : this, I think, is like a special way to open up a cmd prompt used specifically for abd/fastboot. U can also actually open up cmd prompt normally but in order to do that you need to install idk some **** so that ur NORMAL cmd prompt will recognise abd or whatever **** it is. however, if u do that, u do not need to extract the CM12 rom files into folder X as the NORMAL cmd prompt will have the ability to, sorta like detect the CM12 ****s. anyways, forget it, just ****ing use the special way i.e. go to folder X , shift + right click to open up the SPECIAL cmd prompt)
9) a command prompt(cmd) should appear, Now check if u are connected by keying in "fastboot devices" in the cmd. Then the serial number of ur phone should turn up, and not " waiting for device" "devices not found" or any messages of that sort.
If the latter appears, idk how to help u sort that out urself lel.
10) Now u have to unlock the OEM in order for this flashing process to work. idk whats unlocking oem but just unlock it FFS. To do this, simply key in "fastbook oem unlock"
11) I think that under normal circumstances, a pop-up will appear in ur phone to let u choose if u really wanna unlock this oem thingy. BUT for me, my phone just rebooted back into the ****ing 1+ Powered by android screen idk why, but its alright i was on the right track as my oem has been unlocked. Then i powered off my phone and booted in back into fastboot mode once again. (FYI whenever I have to boot my phone to fastboot mode I disconnect the usb cable idk if this is necessary but thats what i DID)
12) go back to the CMD just now, and freaking paste the commands listed below into the CMD.
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 oppostanvbk static_nvbk.bin
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash LOGO logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
13) Wait for several minutes, and when everything's done, the commands will stop at the last command which is "fastboot reboot"
Press Enter! and ur phone will reboot normally! =)

Phone wont boot means?
If u are able to get in to recovery then its always possible to flash any official firmware without root with factory reset its easiest process to solve soft bricked device
First method mentioned is the same process u had done
(fastboot recover) but its automated process with OPO tollbox
Again fastboot method is usefull if u already enabled usb debugging in developer option before u went in to bootloop
I think u have previously enabled usb debugging
So it is also a method to recover u r problem
Any way its great news u got it worked

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Does not sound like anything ill was done, as it did not connect. This could be a cause of one of three things:
Phone is not in the bootloader
Even if in the bootloader, fastboot mode is not activated
PC drivers for fastboot may not be appropriate (or maybe even an outdated fastboot program)
To help you further, can I get the make, model and carrier (if bought through said carrier) of your phone?
Many thanks.

Mate 7 TL-10 (soft)bricked, no OS, no recovery, please help!

Hello Guys,
Please help me in the following case.
I have a Mate 7 TL-10. Originally, it was from China, it's system was Chinese.
Today, I rooted, I changed the location from CN to EU (I am from Hungary). Everything was okay, I wanted to flash a new (European) ROM, but before it, I wanted to wipe. Oh, no! Here, I was stupid. I wiped everything by that recovery, what the SRK Tool installs.
I lost everything, it wrote me, that no OS. I cannot enter to the recovery, it stucked at the Huawei logo. I even cannot switch the phone off, it only restarts!
Can you please help me to solve this problem and survive my phone?
Thank you for all in advance.

Hello!
Than kyou very much for your help. Yesterday night, I could survive the phone, this is what I did:
VOL- and POWER: fastboot mode
In fastboot mode, I connected to the PC and (beofr it, I downloaded an update.zip and extracted:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now, it is working (seems to be) But what should I do with the other .img files from the update.zip?
Do I have to do any other steps? I think yes, 'cause if I check the Vendor info in th*#*#2846579#*#* menu, there is no country code in my phone
Can you help me, what should I do?
Thank you for your help again.

First off all you should flash your regional firmware(original) then if you want to change region changing region is not big deal download the official one and flash by putting update.app into dload folder in sd card and flash by force update and if you are able to flash recovery then flash twrp recovery and flash custom rom like @chudy rom & @Ale rom if you stay in official states then flash chudy rom much likely to stock and if you like custom rom then flash Ale rom which I use and many other.
Flash twrp recovery and make a full backup then wipe all without sd card and then flash the rom zip file after that wipe both cache and reboot first time it'll take some time but don't worry keep it booting you all done..
Further help needed please ask.:good:

softbricked pixel

Hello everybody, hope u doing fine.
i was looking to root my pixel, so i installed kingroot and it rooted it just fine, then i wanted a root manager so i went to play store installed supersu (i guess that was the cause, i shouldn't have done that),then i opened it, it asked to download binaries(or install i'm not quite sure...), anyway this went fine too, then it sayed, everything gone right, restart your device, i clicked in reboot, it restarts with google logo and animations, but it bassicaly wont boot it is just stuck at the dots animation.
the problem is that i left oem bootloader locked, so now i can't do anything via fastboot adb... when i do: fastboot oem unlock , it says: failed (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)
i searched a bit more and found that we can unbrick qualcomm powered devices with qfil flashing tool, but requires a firmware wich is in .mbn format, wich i don't find on the internet (at least for the pixel), maybe there's a custom rom in mbn format...
i'm on android 7.1.2, stock rom, unlocked version.
please tell me if there's a way to fix that,
thank you in advance ? !

Did you try turning the phone off and then using the power-on + volume down key to get to the bootloader menu? from there press the volume up key until you get to recovery and the press the power button. In recovery do a factory reset. That should take care of stuff. In future, don't use kingroot as it's a malware ridden app (that is if you care about your personal data). If you need root then use Magisk instead. Gives you root and also a root manager. If you are planning to tamper with root then make sure to have your bootloader unlocked. Let me know if factory reset worked.

yes i tried to factory reset it from recovery mode ( i did that twice ) and that didn't help.

I have one more idea you could try. Download latest OTA update from here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota
go into recovery and follow the instructions given on the link I just gave you and apply the update using adb sideload in recovery. (You have to manually get into recovery as you did before but follow the instructions from the point where you're inside the recovery.) This should work. Seems that kingroot/supersu corrupted your system somehow. Let me know if it worked.

i already came across that site because i was on android p, i didn't like it so i went back to nougat...anyway to say that i have the nougat image .zip , so do i have to download the latest firmware ?

ok ok, that's not the same...SORRY ?? !!

yeah, it's not the same and you'll find the 8.1.0 update there and the updates from the past. Give it a go and tell me the results when you're done

i tried that, everything went as intended, when i power it up there's animations of 8.1 but still wont boot.
i tried to wipe data and boot again, nothing.
is there a way to flash stock rom with adb (just like we did with that update) ?

now, the phone just booted up and i'm on the set up screen, BUT it showed me a pixel 2 , and theres a lock at the top left corner and it asked for a pattern (cause i did a wipe)... it's like another phone stuck in mine ?!

no since i did a wipe ( i guess i shouldn't have done that) , now when it boots it is locked, it is asking for a pattern, wjch i don't know because i didn't set a pettern previously.
i guess i'm stuck here for ever ? ??

is there a way to flash the stock firmware via stock recovery or external flashing tools on pc, if yes please explain how !

((((Update))))
I didn't notice that there was a connect to Google option, so I finally set up the phone with my Google account and I'm back in.
I'm very thankful to you man you saved my phone, thank you a lot.

I'm glad it worked itself out.
I'm from Norway. Married a swede so living in Sweden now. My parents are from Sri Lanka (the island below India) but moved to Norway before I was born. I've been to Sri Lanka once. Would like to travel to India sometime too :silly:
Algeria seems nice. Must be hot there. I've never been to Africa. Would like to travel there too some day

Yes totally, Algeria is really safe and people here won't bother you (like if you're wondering how u would be seen or received as a foreigner) there's foreigner all year round but especially in summer time, just have something planned in advance because it's Algeria not USA or another well developed country ? but still there's a lot to see here, definitely worth the visit.
When it comes to whether, well it's a Mediterranean weather so expect nice warm days, that being said, there's some time when it goes rainy with thunders and cold, for example now it is very pleasant outside, but yesterday the weather gone crazy... I guess that's because of the global warming.

2) Download the factory system image for Pixel to C:/Google
https://developers.google.com/android/images
3) Unzip the system image folder into same folder, same with adb/fastboot tools in C:/Google
4) Run these commands in cmd prompt as administrator while Pixel is in bootloader mode

I'm sure this gonna help me in the future, as i'm planing to try some custom Rom's and i'm probably gonna brick it again so ? ... Thanks you ? !

Possible brick?

I need some help. My phone is stock in fastboot mode. If i make a fastboot -reboot command, it will just reboot back to fastboot mode. I cant restart the bootloader. Im thinking i need to try and flash a fastboot rom with a stock image, but my skills are rusty. Any guidance would be much appreciated.:crying:

Hey , Just download the fastboot rom , below is the link , you will find instructions there
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665
to make it easy things to remember
REMEMBER
"Invalid sparce file format at header magic" is not an error, you need to wait a bit when you see that string, just wait.
HOW TO FLASH
Download the zip;
Unpack the zip in a folder;
Reboot the OnePlus 6 in fastboot mode (Power and volume-);
Connect the OnePlus 6 to PC;
Run .bat flasher you need;
Wait until the process end;
With new .bat you need to manually reboot the phone.
and i use this command flash-all-partitions.bat

I wish people would understand what the term brick means! I will also say it is 100% impossible to brick a oneplus 6 WITHOUT physical hardware damage. also fastboot mode is bootloader mode.

Thank you @Ajaykumar21066. I did some reading aswell, and first off -i must apologize for calling it a brick, since it really is a fastboot bootloop situation. Will report back when solved.

Solved using unbrick tool. Fast and easy.
