Put the phone in fastboot mode and flash the stock images. Don't bother with toolkits, they're not needed plus they can cause more problems. Instructions in section 8 of my guide thread:

Ok I tried everything but the phone is not even booting in fastboot. Whatever I do it goes into recovery.
Any solution for that?

I'd be very surprised if fastboot mode wasn't working. Exactly what are you doing to get the phone into fastboot?

Do you have any usb cable connected at the time? If so, disconnect it.

Have you tried removing Multirom and just flashing a ROM?

Tried that too. FLashed Multirom uninstaller zip but it's still there. The phone has its own mind I think.

Not able to get to fastboot (vol+ and power). phone only boots into stock recovery. adb sideload works. installed stock cm11s via that the installation was successful but rebooting the phone takes me back to Stock Recovery (CyanogenMod Simple Recovery). This is a defect and OnePlus should be replacing my phone but, they are being very slow to respond, so I'm looking here for alternative solutions. It's a beautiful phone, but it just doesn't work

I never had such an issue so wait until more savvy people chimes in. Anyways it is really strange
hope so
Hmm. Not getting into fastboot is weird indeed..
Did you try another recovery? Did you try to adb reboot into booloader (fastboot)? Maybe the volume up button is not working..
Actually it looks like I may be in fastboot, but fastboot devices doesn't show anything. I tried the ColorOS install method in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/wrong-kernel-black-screen-fastboot-adb-t2835696 and looks like I've installed ColorOS, but instead of my previous problem, now I am stuck with a ColorOS Recovery Bootloop

When in fastboot does your PC recognize the device? Maybe you need drivers.

Need Help. Nexus 5 says google when trying to turn on

I was trying to get the latest twrp '2.8.7.2'. I downloaded it and flashed the img to recovery and nothing seemed to happen so I tried flashing it to boot then I tried to reboot the system. Now when I try to turn it on I get stuck on the Google like it is turning but it just gets stuck. I tried Charging it now when I charge it I get stuck on the battery logo. When I try booting it Booting it into recovery(twrp) I get a black screen. I can tell the Screen is on because of the dim glow it gives off but it is not doing anything. Note: I am some what of a noob when it comes to this stuff, My nexus 5 was running Marshmallow, and I was running the Xtra smooth rom (it is very close to stock). Plz help. I have also just found out that the reason im getting the bootloop is I flashed the wrong version of TWRP need a fix PLZ HELP.
Did you try flashing stock recovery or twrp 2.8.7.1?

All you have to do is boot into your bootloader (Power + Volume Up + Volume Down at the same time) and flash the stock recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Chances are you flashed an incorrect version of TWRP meant for another phone hence the boot loop.

You dont need recovery, you need bootloader.

Can you please explain to me exactly what to do. thank you. also my bootloader is unlocked. I also can get to fastboot so what is the diffrence between bootloader and fastboot.
Hold down the volume +, volume -, and power button. You'll be taken to a screen with the word START at the top. Now, connect the phone to your Windows computer using the USB cable, open a command prompt and type "fastboot flash recovery nameof twrpfile.img", press the enter key, use the volume button to select recovery, use the power button to enter recovery, press the power button, press volume + button, and you should enter TWRP.
Thank you but I do not own a windows computer
Then look up the respective commands. You flashed twrp over your kernel, you need to flash a proper boot.img (kernel) if you want the phone to boot. Fastboot is ran through bootloader. Flash the proper kernel in bootloader using fastboot.

It might not have been working because I did not enable USB Debuging. :crying:
USB debugging is required for adb commands. With fastboot mode, debugging isn't necessary.

Its not a PC problem, my phone is bricked!
Did you try different USB cables and USB ports? Try a different computer?
So there is no life at all when connected to a battery charger? Was the battery fully charged before flashing?
Maybe try opening the phone, disconnecting the battery from the mobo for about a minute, reconnect battery, insert charging cable, and see what happens?

the bootloader dosen´t change between caf or non caf, its the same one since it isnt an open source project. if it dosent detect then its a driver/connection problem.
however if you got to the bootloader, i would choose then to use download mode, which you can do with

If you are getting the word "BULK" in device manager, I think it is bricked. You need it to say "9008" somewhere in the device name.

Restore your old OS.
Try again get into recovery being certain to power phone off (hold power button down for 20 seconds if need be), then while holding vol down button, press power button and turn phone on, not releasing vol down button until you see 1+ logo.
From your recovery you can start USB OTG and get the rom on that way.

thanks for the help but im not sure if I had twrp after all . no matter what i can't get past the adb device "unauthorized" state. turns out the pixel2 is unique in not supporting usb-c to hdmi - thanks Google. i tried unified toolkit and vysor. next thing i might try is a hammer and send the pulverized phone back to Google.
