Hi, a friends opo can only boot into recovery, but not into fastboot mode. It doesn't boot to an OS anymore, only to recovery of cyanogenmod.
Is it possible to somehow get it to boot without losing all the stuff on the phone or pull the data off the phone somehow? It would be really grate if the data could be saved, so I haven't tried a factory reset.
But I can connect it to a pc and it recognizes it over adb sideload (option in recovery to flash update over sideload). I checked if the volume down button was stuck with a multimeter but this wasn't the case. I don't really know what happened to the phone or on what version of cm12 it was, since it is not mine.
Somehow I can't access fastboot mode with volume up, which is strange since it is not completely dead.
I just wanted to confirm if there is anything we can do before trying a factory reset and losing all the data.

Hi. I dropped by OPO recently and had to replace the screen + digitizer myself. After doing it, i decided to wipe my phone and re-install Android again. I did a factory reset, flashed a custom rom, gapps and a kernel and i am not able to boot into the OS. When I reboot the device or power it on, I always end up in the Fastboot mode. I am able to get into recovery, but no matter what I flash, whenever I hit reboot into system after flashing, the phone goes back to Fastboot mode.
When in Fastboot mode, I'm able to flash stock images of 44S , but any reboot doesn't take me to Android, it keeps pushing me back to Fashboot. Flashed multiple TWRP versions, tried restoring to 44S/38R through fastboot, but none of them work. Any restart takes the phone back to Fastboot. Any ideas on how this could be fixed?
Any help is much appreciated.

normally a phone wont go into fastboot mode automatically it could be your hardware keys are short. also one final try you can do is follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851
Hello.
Today my oneplus one was suddenly stuck in bootloop. This happened in the middle of the day when I rebooted my phone. My phone was running the latest update that came OTA (stock lollipop). Whenever I boot my phone it starts loading and suddenly a Chrome (browser) window appears for 1 second and tries to load a website. Afterwards my lock screen pop ups for 1 seconds and it starts to reboot. During the lockscreen I tried to unlock my phone as soon as possible, but it just reboots. (Any ideas about this weird problem?)
I CAN boot it in recovery mode by holding volume-down button and power button.
I CAN boot it in fastboot mode by holding volume-up button and power button.
Perhaps a factory reset will do the trick, but I don't have a backup of my files (because this happened so suddenly without me trying to flash/customize my phone). My first priority is recovering my files, because most solutions will end up in me losing every file. Unfortunately I've found little possibility to do this during the bootloop problem. I've tried to flash TWRP because it could make backups of my phone. I tried it through ADB/Fastboot, but it failed because my device is not unlocked (I can't go to settings and put my phone in developer mode and debugging mode). So I've read somewhere that unlocking my phone (bootloader?) through ADB will wipe my phone, which is exactly what I don't want.
Also I've tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061
But It also failed because my device was not unlocked.
Did I miss some steps somewhere or did I read something wrong?
Hopefully anybody has an idea to either fix the bootloop without losing my data, or finding a way to recover my files before wiping the phone.
Thank you.

Unfortunately you might be stuck in a catch-22 situation here. In order to access the files you'd need to unlock the bootloader, but in doing so you'd lose those files. Without usb debugging already enabled I can't see a way out of this.
Decided to unlock the bootloader through ADB. (bye bye data)
After I've unlocked it, I've tried installing TWRP.
Some minor problems occured but I can finally boot into TWRP through volume-down button + power button.
I've decided to download the stock ROM i've found on the OPO forums.
Couldn't acces my phone through normal methods, so I had to use ADB to push the files into my phone.
Installing the file through TWRP, wiped cache/dalvik and installed super user before rebooting.
After rebooting my phone is stuck on the boot screen now. (This also happened before I installed TWRP on my phone)
I've also tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541
Also no succes. I'm stuck in the bootscreen where it says 'cyanogen'.
EDIT: Managed to fix it eventually through: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061 (part 2) writing the command in TWRP.
Phone finally boots normally again.

Exactly what did you flash? Full filename please. No errors occurred?

Hopefully the stock cyanogen OS.
First I've tried to flash cyanogenmod 12 through TWRP (file is found here: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/cm12s-yng1tas17l-installation-guide-review-change-log.304615/)
Afterwards I was still stuck in bootscreen, so I've looked for another solution.
Which made me find this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541
After flashing this file (probably the same thing) the problem still remained.
Eventually after multiple wipes/factory resets (which did not solve the problem) I've entered the command in TWRP and after reboot it finally worked again.
So I basically flashed my phone twice, once through TWRPS and the other through the batch file (perhaps ADB?).
Also no errors occured which stopped the flashing and commands. Did have to reinstall TWRP and reboot instantly in it by holding the volume down button multiple times. This doesnt happen anymore though.
Only had to install google apps for CM12 (gapps), for which I used TWRP in recovery mode.
Currently reinstalling most apps on my phone and no problems yet.
Hi everyone,
I'm sorry if I post this question in a wrong section but there is no thread for my device on xda.
It seems like I ruined the recovery mode of my Android tablet. It's a HP Pro Slate 12 tablet with Android 5.1.1 on it. It's rooted. I wanted to install CWM Recovery to backup everything, but my device wasn't listed as a supported device. My friend told me I can install the LG G3 recovery instead because it's compatible. I installed that. Since then recovery mode completely disappeared. The device still boots in normal mode and works, but I cannot boot into recovery mode anymore. I really need it because the device boots normally but sometimes acting strange since I rooted it. I'd like to try unrooting it by going into recovery mode or doing a factory reset, but both options disappeared.
Here's what I've tried:
- I Googled this problem very thoroughly, but didn't find any help aside from "hold down 2 buttons to go into recovery mode" type of answers.
- I tried holding down volume up+power buttons while turning it on, but didn't work.
- Tried holding down volume down+power. Nope.
- Tried rebooting inside Android into recovery mode with Quick boot app. It rebooted my device but again it went into normal mode instead.
- Tried to reboot into recovery mode with ADP and FastBoot in Windows. ADB recognized my device (listed the serial number), Fastboot didn't recognize my device. So I tried to reboot into recovery with ADB. Same stuff happened. The device rebooted into normal mode.
- Tried to do a factory reset. DIDN'T work! Rebooted into normal mode once more. The factory reset hasn't deleted anything.
- I have the latest available update.zip from the official website for my device, but without recovery mode I cannot install it.
Any ideas? Did I really lose the possibility of recovery forever with a single click?

Hello did you find a solution to your problem ?
Ive been running KangVIP with no problems, however I got some adware which refused to go away, so I attempted to factory reset via the phones menu. It then ended up stuck at the TWRP screen. This has happened before so next I tried to restore a previous backup...not successful. I can't access fastboot and rescue to flash the official recovery.
Anyone got any help? Is there a guide to flashing the stock rom or have I borked my phone?
You can not shut down the device and connect it via USB to a PC and boot while holding volume down button into fastboot mode?
Well then you have ruined your phone.
I'm OP, was unable to get into my usual account last night. I'm not sure how, but holding volume up, down and power seemed to kick start it back to life and I'm back running KangVIP. I don't think I'll be resetting it again for a very long time.

I'm not sure whether it was luck or not, but all I did was to go into TWRP and then chose the Mount option, unmounted everything, then went to Reboot and chose Bootloader - that got me back to fastboot where I was able to flash the stock recovery, do a factory reset and get my phone back.
i have similar problem one friend use kingroot change to tpwr. now i try restore frimware but fastboot on screen say unloked on red text but commands not alowed.
and android os not have R/W /system only can r/W on tpwr i try use file explorer remove king root but no boot
who to clean rom? for update.

Hi guys,
I have a OPO bricked in a very weird way... It's booting straight to TWRP (v3.0.2-0) and nothing else. It is impossible to boot into bootloader (Vol. Up + Power), it still goes to TWRP. And when it is plugged on a computer, it's also booting straight to TWRP...
First a little recap :
- The OPO has (had) an unlocked bootloader and was updated from COS13 to Oxygen OS a while ago.
- The screen was smashed, touch screen not working anymore, and I had it replaced
- Then this problem occured (before screen change, it was booting to Android without a problem)
What I tried :
- Tried to reboot into bootloader, from TWRP via the reboot menu, nope.
- Tried to reboot into bootloader, from TWRP with "adb reboot bootloader", nope.
- Hard Reset from TWRP, nothing.
- Flash latest COS from TWRP (cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0-bacon-signed.zip) found here, nothing.
- I wanted to try this last chance unbrick "OnePlus Recovery Tool", but for that the OPO has to be OFF while plugged on a computer, and mine automatically boots on TWRP when plugged , so it's not bricked enough to use it, f***!
Since I can't access the bootlader, I can't do a proper clean/flash
I'm really out of ideas here. I'm starting to think that the problem isn't software but hardware...
Has anyone ever encountered such a brick, or has another idea?
Thanks in advance for your help.
fully shutdown your device and then press the volume up while connecting your phone to pc and see if it can boot into fastboot or not...

Open the back panel of your device and clean it properly with isopropyl alcohol and microfiber cloth.Also clean the power and volume buttons strips.
Reattach it correctly and then try booting into system or fastboot.
Thank you guys for your help.
So, what happened is that the volume buttons connector was dead, and that the volume down signal was "permanent", that is why the device was systematically booting in recovery mode, no matter what I tried.
Replacing it worked just fine
