Help hard brick after flashing caf rom - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I decided to flash a caf rom, so i flashed twrp caf, erased everything with twrp, then sideloaded the caf rom(beanstalk). I then rebooted it warned me about no os installed, but i rebooted anyway. Now it is just a black screen, power button does nothing, wont reboot or anything. How can I fix this? .

Just tried to plug into my pc, nothing appears. HELP PLS!!!!!!

You mean no new devices appear in Windows device manager? You tried different USB cables and usb ports?

I plug into my PC, nothing is Device Manager, screen is black, adb and fastboot doesnt work, what do I do?
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?

well i can get to the bootloader now but fastboot isnt working and since the bootloader version is for non-caf and twrp is caf i cant flash any rom, and i have to hold power and volume up and volume down in order to turn it on.

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

You can boot twrp recovery or not?
Does your fastboot work with other devices?

whenever i sideload a zip it says i have wrong bootloader, or that my device is hammerhead caf. i cannot flash either because fastboot will not work in bootloader mode. just waiting for device.

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.

Having the same problem. The phone only reboots into twrp recovery mode, yet shows no errors when re-flashing device with most recent version of sense ui.
I'd really like to be able to use my phone.

I tried that. My computer is no longer recognizing the device at all. I thought I was making progress through the first part of the day, but for some reason, usb recognition seems to fluctuate.
I'm normally pretty alright working with this type of thing, but this phone has me completely baffled.

Really weird. So you have no chance to get into fastboot mode, not even by selection reboot to bootloader in twrp?!

I supposed I should have been more clear. Fastboot will work, but all of the adb commands fail as the "device not found". I have tried restarting everything multiple times, updated all of the drivers, deleted the drivers, re-installed them, and while it makes the chime noise when I plug the phone in, all I can do is look at it in device manager. I'm running windows 8.1 and twrp 2.8.5.0, by the way.

RUU flashing is fastboot based I suppose. So you won't need adb at all.

Wait, what? I can flash images like twrp to my phone via fastboot, but the only ruu's I've found either have executable wizard files, or are self extracting. How can I flash a rom or update utility using fastboot?

Connect phone in fastboot mode, run RUU, click next plenty of times, and done
If your phone is S-ON, flash stock recovery first and relock the bootloader before running the RUU

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.

Sorry i cannot be more help.. Maybe its better to get a replacement from Oneplus themselves.

I think I just bricked my phone, any help?

So I rooted my phone via Oneplus Toolkit but somehow maybe because of driver problem, the recovery was still Cyanogen recovery. I decided to flash a new recovery again via Toolkit but after turned it off from fastboot mode and reboot, my phone wouldn't boot. Just black screen. I couldn't enter fastboot mode either. When I connect it to PC via USB it shows QHSUSB. I did some search online and I'm afraid it's bricked. Is there anyway I can save it? Thanks in advance!

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:

Help! Pixel 2 dead screen unrooted, ADB not enabled. need to access data

my pixel two screen died.. google backup restore joke service failed to restore sms or app setting to new phone. i need to grab that data from the old phone but cant see or use the screen, phone is not rooted and adb debugging not enabled. and i am not much more than a novice ahhhhhh!
The same happened to me. Try using vysor in pc. It shows your Mobile screen on pc. It worked for me. You dont need to install vysor n your mobile. Pc verion will auto install it on your device.

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.
