[Q] [HELP] Is this brick recoverable?

Hi,
I'm new to the Android community and I was making some improvements in my XT1039. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the Retail 5.1 for the XT1040 model. It was running fine, then I removed the bootloader unlocked warning and still fully functional. Also, I've flashed the TWRP recovery and everything was smooth. Then I tried to perform the root and I couldn't initialize my phone anymore. But I still could access the TWRP recovery. Then I started wiping to try to solve the problem, but the thing is that now my phone has no OS and can not initialize. It stops while in the Motorola loading screen.
I can fastboot, access the TWRP recovery and all, but there's no OS and my computer doesn't recognize my phone. while connect through the USB cable.
Is it possible to recover the phone? I was thinking that the solution would be to flash another firmware to the phone, but itsn't working.
Could anybody help me? It must have an alternative to fix it, I couldn't figure it out yet. Can you?
Thank you in advance

Yeah.. My computer didnt seem to recognise my phone either.. But it did get connected actually. There's some option deep inside control panel, where you can see what devices are attached to your computer. I will suggest you to go for a data wipe and install a fresh rom. Install via sideload, as you can access recovery, it shouldn't be a problem. Rom can be directly installed from pc to your phone, it case it doesnt have a rom, I believe. Google how to sideload using mfastboot

Or attach a pendrive with rom using USB otg cable

Fastboot flash the latest 5.1 factory firmware image for your phone - if available. Follow the tutorial linked in the first post. Note; it's very dangerous to flash incorrect firmware images.

Bricked?

Hey,
so i was on nighlty CM12 and wanted to switch to CM13.
After i downloaded everything i booted to twrp and flashed the CM13 nightly zip and opengapps for 6.0.
Then i think i made the mistake. I thought i had to update the recovery so i switched to "Flash Images" and flashed the CM13 recovery to the recovery partition.
After flashing the cache i waited like 20 minutes and it was stuck on "Powered by android" screen.
So now it is still hanging there. Device is recognized as ADB device but adb devices show "unauthorized".
Booting with Vol+and Power results in a black screen + the device is shown in the device manager as "QHSUSB_BULK"
Do i have to try the hard brick method or are there other ways?
(I tried to install the qualcomm drivers but im getting an error about broken drivers)
I hope someone can help me

Do you make any backup of your ROM before flashing

Use Bacon Root Toolkit to restore bricked OnePlus One ..

OnePlus one does not go into recovery after updating it

Hello everyone, I'll tell you what happened
First I was in CM13.1, then I flashed to oxygen OS 3.1.4 custom
(When I flash the ROM, without warning me the recovery was updated to the version TWRP 3.0.3-2TugaPower, previously being in a version inferior to 2.8)
After logging in to the new recovery, I noticed that the recovery version was not on the TWRP page, so I decided to flash the most recent version of TWRP (twrp-3.1.1-0-bacon.img), flashe it through Android sdk (Fastboot), everything went well the pc recognized me the OPO in fastboot Mode and flashe the recovery without problems, the problem came when I try to enter the new recovery the OPO does not enter the recovery stays in the OnePlus Logo.
(Before updating the recovery I tried to restate the backup of my previous rom CM13.1 but when I was going to restart it it stays in the OnePlus logo, and when I go to recovery I fixed that in the section of "Mount" system is not checked , Active but still the same, and when I return to recovery is removed.)
I ask you if you can give me ideas to be able to have recovery again and revive my OPO plz.

I guess you didn't read the OP of Oxygen Os correctly,he clearly mentioned that this 'Tuga Power Recovery' is patched to work with Oxygen Os's firmware and one should not flash any other recovery.Now,what you can do is this,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-ikULjZZlloNHpOdVBrTzQxZzQ/view?usp=drive_web
> Download This file, install it somewhere and run Revert-2-CM.exe. Make sure you have fastboot drivers installed or it wont work.Avoid using any Antivirus program while doing this as they might give false alarms.After this you'll be restored to TWRP then you can flash any rom you want.The reason due to which you weren't able to find 'TugaPower Recovery' on TWRP page is because this is an Unofficial Recovery.

Question
What does the program do with the OPO?

If you are familiar with fastboot commands, this method should work. Had my OnePlus in the same situation last night messing around with Efidroid. Phone was bootlooping. Efidroid boot menu as well as recovery mode were both inaccessible. I had tried several other things but none worked for me. *CAUTION: this method did ERASE my userdata.* I downloaded a fastboot-able stock full firmware zip, then manually reflashed device. My beloved OnePlus is no longer my daily driver but still my fave device to experiment with so I just used COS 13.1 file. After full reboot, I downloaded and flashed official TWRP. Device is fully functional again, but without OOS installed.

It'll change your firmware and alter your recovery to a functional TWRP.You'll lose Oxygen Os after doing this.Though you can use this anytime when not being able to flash TWRP.

What should i do
Thanks a lot thanks to the method you told me my OPO has recovery again really thanks, but I have a question, I still in the TugaPower recovery, should I flash the stock recovery or the newest version of TWRP?
Because I do not know if flashing again the TWRP will happen the same

Oneplus one bricked twrp not loading and no rom installed

Hello everyone!
I am new here and really looking forward for some answers. I own oneplus one and had a good experience with it. I had upgraded to custom rom that is lineage os 14.1
I wanted to upgrade it to 15.1 through Twrp. I followed the same procedure as i did for last flashing. I wiped the old data and everything and started to flash new rom. But this time twrp was giving an error. When I did research on that i found that i needed to upgrade to newer version of twrp to install lineage os 15.1
I did the same. And then end of it I just unselected the Supersu root and it reboots. Now when I go to the twrp recovery. The oneplus icon shows but then nothing happens. My phone now doesn't have a rom and twrp recovery won't open. When I connect it to my laptop through fastboot, cmd doesn't recognizes the device. I don't have any knowledge about tech and stuff. And I might have done something wrong. Please help me with some solutions

First of all, try to reinstall TWRP trough fastboot (boot in bootloader mode with Volume UP + power), just google a guide if you don't know how fastboot works. also be sure to use the correct twrp for bacon
After that you should be able to boot back in recovery and flash your rom
if still it doesn't work, follow this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851

Sometimes it happens we brick our phones but No worries as long as you can go to fastboot you can always restore back to how it was before.
Either use the Program the guy above provided or this guide:

I want to know how to flash the twrp again through fastboot, because when I connect it, phone is not detected in cmd. It says no fastboot devices are there. But then I checked and it says some android thing is connected in device manager. I hope it is my Oneplus one. How to pass this step?

It's the android drivers. Make sure you have the drivers installed.

Thank you so much. I was able to download the twrp again and flashed the 14.1 lineage os. The latest twrp is not flashing in the phone i don't know why and because of that 15.1 lineage os is not flashing and shows error. But still it's a relief that my phone is working. Also, when i switch on the camera it's not working and the flashlight icon also is dim and doesn't gets clicked and not works.

How to revert to OB5 from stock based Android?

I'm having trouble reverting to OOS Android 11 OB5 after trying KOSP. I'm trying to flash the stock rom via twrp but I can't install from my sdcard since I have to format data to view my storage effectively deleting the zip rom. Alternatively I've tried to revert using a fastboot rom with the AIO tool. All seems to flash fine but I get stuck on the bootloader unlocked screen and the system doesn't start. Tried also using MSM but the qualcomm port driver in device manager appears then disappears in Windows 10 and the phone goes into charge mode while connected to the PC. Keep getting stuck at every turn. Any help would be appreciated.
