Oneplus One stuck on boot screen (Cyanogen and Lineage) - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good morning everyone,
Last week end I tried to install Lineage on my Oneplus One but from that moment my device stuck on the boot screen.
To correct that, I tried many things I found on different forum but the problem remains.
I installed Lineage (lineage-14.1-20170327-nightly-bacon-signed.zip) with the bootloader unlocked with TWRP (twrp-3.1.0-0-bacon.img) by the Install mode and by ADB Sideload, with or without the different kind of wipe, with or without SuperSU (V2.79) but the result is the same.
I also reinstalled Cyanogen (cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip) by terminal commands but I stuck on CM boot screen.
I’m using Ubuntu Linux operating system with the android-tools package installed but I also tried with Windows and the toolkit.
If someone can help me, I don’t know what to try now…
Thank you

Try this,make sure you use XP system to avoid driver issue.This tool doesn't use fastboot and instead uses Usb debugging port.

Thank you.
The little problem is that I use only Ubuntu at home. It's more complicated for me with Windows but I'll try.
Is this operation possible with files and terminal commands (fastboot flash) ?

Nope,as I said it doesn't use fastboot.A Xp system is must.I don't think it takes long to dual boot windows alongside Ubuntu.

[Q]Unable to boot to CWM Recovery or Boot Menu

When I try to reboot to the ClockworkMod Recovery using both in-system methods (ROM Manager, etc.), or using the volume buttons, it only boots to the Acer screen with Entering recovery image kernel or Entering boot menu mode. After that, the screen hangs there, doing nothing. I'm sure the solution is out there somewhere, but I haven't found it. Also, I cannot get adb or fastboot to work from a Windows 7 64-bit command line. I did install a few things from the Android SDK, but I'm not sure if I installed everything I need.
Any help? I'm looking to upgrade my CyanogenMod 10.1 to the latest stable build, but I'm unable to do that until this problem is solved.
Thanks!

is it possible you try the connection on a linux maschine? (ubunty/mint) you should be able to issue "fastboot devices".
Sometimes Win7 is sluggish.
Also have you tried the resetbutton and then boot to fastboot?
gl
-Buster
I don't have any Linux machines to boot to, although I suppose I could try a Live CD. I've tried getting to fastboot using every method available, but I still haven't had any luck.

keep in mind then that you need to install adb and fastboot from the packetmanager. but i for one do my adb/fastboot from my linux mint since i dont need to hassle with the drivers for my devices anymore
I'll try it from Linux, then. I'll report back with my findings.

Which version of CWM are you using?
Latest versions don't work (stuck on the boot screen page).
You should use version 6.0.2.3 or previuos versions.
Sorry, I haven't been to the thread in awhile, I've been busy with stuff. XD
I haven't tried what was suggested yet, and 6.0.2.3 doesn't work for me either.
Fantastic!
After installing the packages (I had to find the .deb packages myself, as the Terminal wasn't finding them), I was able to detect the device in Ubuntu 13.04 i386. Furthermore, I was able to reinstall the CWM Recovery from the CyanogenMod Wiki for this device. I fastboot'd into the Bootloader, flashed the recovery, then "adb reboot recovery", and there's the recovery menu! Thanks for your help everyone! :laugh:

[Q] Can't mount partitions after installing WTRP.

Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone might have some advise for me to try. I did the following and now I can't seem to boot the ROM I installed and/or load the partitions to wipe them. TWRP is asking for a password (which I just cancel) and then it can't mount the partitions. Here is what I did.
unpacked the tablet and started it up. Put my Wi-Fi and google account on it and updated the firmware.
I then downloaded the ASUS unlock application and unlocked my bootloader. It shows as unlocked now when starting up.
I installed TWRP (Latest version) via fastboot.
I created a backup with TWRP.
I installed a custom ROM.
Restarted
System not booting. I attempted to recover from backup and/or wipe the partitions and it won't mount them. also TWRP asks for a password and I just cancel out of it. I believe you know the symptoms.
I then read that maybe an older version of TWRP would work. I tried 2.3.3.0 I believe and it had the exact same affect. I installed it via fastboot as well.
Any advise would be appreciated. Thank you. The custom ROM I installed has a filename of cm-4.4.2-20131226-cmb4. I think it's a CM mod file. Thanks so much for your time. Someone is helping me on the side via PM, if I get anywhere with that, I'll post the resolution here.

The file cm-4.4.2-20131226-cmb4 is for Verizon HTC One only and not for the ASUS TF700T.
You must download the CM from this site: Link
I run my TF700T with CM11 (nightly build) and with TWRP 2.6.3.2.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply but the ROM I used is indeed for the TF700T mode. The exact filename is cm-4.4.2-20131226-cmb4.4-tf700t-rc3.zip. As you can see my device model is in the filename. I also only downloaded ROMS that are form this forum (TF700.) Any suggestions?

That is a rom based on CM11 kitkat. Did you read the requirements (which the cmb creators unfortunately just touch upon in their op) before you flashed it?
The CM11 OP states that you have to be on 10.16.1.14.x bootloader and CWM 6.0.4.4 as a recovery.
It also clearly states that TWRP has problems with KitKat. Supposedly the latest TWRP version works, but to my knowledge that is not confirmed. Don't know what TWRP version you initially flashed, but then you flashed one that's totally outdated and possibly not even compatible with your bootloader.....
I hope you still have access to fastboot.... download CWM 6.0.4.4. and flash it. Then try to flash the rom again.
But check your bootloader version first!

Now I can't seem to erase certain partitions or write to system...
Hi everyone,
So, I tried to erase all partitions using fastboot and then install the asus firmware blob back on my system to see if I can get it back to where it was. At this point I can't seem to write to the system partition. I get a failed error on fastboot and a failed command error on my tablet. Any suggestions? Is there any way to install a bootloader with fastboot? I suspect it's the bootloader as it is still ASUS's stock bootloader. I would like to change it to something that may be able to write and wipe the partitions properly using CWM or something similar. Please advise, I'm running out of options here. I'd hate to think I bricked my first device ever... thanks so much for your time. Cheers.

You do have fastboot access? If you enter
Code:
fastboot devices
in the cmd prompt, does it return the serial number of your device.
If not, you may have a driver problem on your PC.
The only method I know of to get a bootloader via fastboot is to flash the system blob, but you seem to have tried that already. The question is: How?
Please post the commands you used and the output you get back.
You also may want to look at buster99's method:

I've installed fastboot on two separate systems (both windows 8.1 64-bit) and both have drivers installed (device manager shows it installed fine.) Since I started using fastboot it simply shows a ? instead of my device's serial number. Could this be the issue from the start? I was able to install TWRP with it, so I assumed it worked. * Sigh * I should know better. (I kept moving forward once I saw TWRP installed) Would it surprise you to know I'm a network engineer?
I put up a windows 7 system at this point to see if I have a better time with fastboot and the drivers simply aren't recognized, even when I install the asus software that has the drivers (Asus pad pc suite.)
How can I get just the raw drivers for my system to use with fastboot? Either for Windows 8 or 7. Any help would be appreciated, thank you for your time.

Ain't computers great? If you are a network engineer you should be used to this! LOL!
On Win 8 there's some nasty stuff where you have to turn off "windows driver verification" or some such in system settings - just google "Windows 8 fastboot" and you should find the necessary steps.
The attached drivers work fine for me with Win 7 (forgot which one's I installed). Try the Universal Naked Drivers first and uninstall the ones you have now prior to installing these.
But one thing is for sure: ? is not an acceptable return for "fastboot devices"
Edit: XDA won't let me upload the Google Universal Naked Drivers, so download them from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263822
I would try these first, then the adb recovery driver I attached as a zip
Drivers are installed now and stilll ? for fastboot devices.

Hi, so I installed the naked drivers and they seemed to work. Once that was done, I used fastboot devices and got a questionmark again. Please keep in mind that since the tablet was out of the box, I have only seen a ?. I don't believe that this issue is related to the other only because it's been consistently ? the whole time, across 3 workstations. I can now erase the system partition but can't seem to write to it. I guess it would help to resolve the drivers issue but I am not sure how. Naked drivers are installed. commands like erase and reboot tend to work properly. write worked the first time as well but since then I cannot write to certain partitions. Any ideas how I might resolve the ? issue in fastboot devices?

At this point it seems by biggest problem is that I can't write to the damn system partition... Fastboot is all I have used to modify the tablet but it has never shown my serial number.

UPDATE: Here is all the commands I've tried on my Tablet...
Originally I did this:
unpacked the tablet and started it up. Put my Wi-Fi and google account on it and updated the firmware.
I then downloaded the ASUS unlock application and unlocked my bootloader. It shows as unlocked now when starting up.
I installed TWRP (Latest version) via fastboot.
I created a backup with TWRP.
I installed a custom ROM.
Restarted
System not booting. I attempted to recover from backup and/or wipe the partitions and it won't mount them. also TWRP asks for a password and I just cancel out of it. I believe you know the symptoms.
I then read that maybe an older version of TWRP would work. I tried 2.3.3.0 I believe and it had the exact same affect. I installed it via fastboot as well.
Since then I've tried this:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob (blob was in same directory as fastboot and I got it form the latest asus firmware zip file) <-- Failed It sends the data okay but fails to write to the disc. Error on ASUS tablet in red also confirms the command write:system failed and gives a memory address.
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
Please note that some of the erase commands simply hung. I had to restart the tablet to go back into fastboot mode. When I restart it sometimes they erase successfully. Not sure why. I know I couldn't erase userdata at all, and recently tried again and it worked.
I now have a copy of Mint Linux 32-bit ready to go. What should I try?

[sudo] password for amascolo:

That was the adb drivers, the same ones that I used to originally unlock the phone, you can't tell me that they weren't working, because they were working
I was trying to use them off of my windows 10 pc, but couldn't figure where the stupid folder went
Like, why would my adb drivers be not working even though it would work normally for unlocking the bootloader, and does it matter that I'm using the T-Mobile variant of the software?

No it wouldn't. Try removing screen locks if any. Shouldn't be an issue if you can connect though. Easiest way is to use the AllinOne tool available here in this forum .
I had the same issue. I was trying to boot to the latest unofficial TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img) and install it. I tried different USB ports, cables, etc... and even downloaded the official Google SDK (tools only) and replaced every binary on my laptop with them. Same thing (just slightly differently formatted output, but same "unknown command" error).
Fortunately, I realized that I only needed that to boot the phone prior to installing TWRP, which I already had (it was late!). I booted into the older installed TWRP and flashed the TWRP installer, then magisk.
I would still like to know what is happening, though. Like you said, this is the same Minimal ADB and Fastboot that I used to setup the phone in the first place.

That command actually flashes recovery. I thought the proper method was to fastboot boot to the recovery, then run the installer.

Hi,
I'm trying to boot a twrp image on my Motorola One Vision without flashing it or rooting the phone. Reason is I want to try it out and also tweek som files but not necessarily rooting it.
I've unlocked the boot loader and enabled developer options and set USB to debugging. When I connect the phone to the computer and use ./adb devices it is detected fine. When I disconnect, reboot and enable fastboot I get the fast boot menu with the options but when I connect it to the computer it will not detect the phone. ./adb devices give no output and ./fastboot boot /PATH/TO/IMAGE.FILE just gives the output "waiting for device". I've tried this from both my windows partition and Linux Debian with the same result. Cables are fine as I can use adb to pull files and such. It's basically in the fastboot menu that it doesn't seem to respond.
The phone is running Android 10 Kane 4.14. I've tried twrp 3.4 but I don't think the image is the issue since it won't respond to commands in fastboot.
Does anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting this? Any and all help is appreciated.
Kind regards
Magnus
Ps: Posted this a few days ago in the general Q&A as a suspect it's not necessarily a specific One Vision problem but it didn't get any replies so I'll try here. Sorry if it's a bit of a double post. ds-
I've made some headway and manage to reboot and connect but when I try to ./fastboot boot IMAGE I get the message Validation image failed.
If I understood it correct it's not possible to boot an image in this way which is of an earlier version than the one installed. Is this correct?
I''ve got 4.4 installed, and the image is 3.4.

Did you flash the patched vbmeta image?

No, I can't get that to work. I'm not sure if I understand where I should place it.
Appreciate that you pitch in.
I have a One Vision x1907-1 variant and recently it bricked. The device can't be recognized and don't works with the motorola drivers . So it's similar issue maybe

No, my phone works perfectly fine. I just can't flash the vbmeta image and I can't run the .bat file.

Trying to restore my oneplus.

So i recently decided to update my Oneplus 7 Pro from the public stable release to the OxygenOS 11 Open Beta 3 on a whim. Tried to go back to the old stable release by flashing fastboot roms from Tool All In One and it somehow broke everything, even though I did it multiple times before.
Phone can't boot into anything -- even with stock roms installed. Simply shows the bootloader is unlocked screen and nothing after. I can get into recovery and edl and fastboot, but nothing else. I think I flashed an older version from TAIO's fastboot rom flasher, making it impossible (!) for my computer to interact with my phone.
MSM Tool also doesn't work. Param preload, even though I have the QC and OP drivers installed.
Anything I can do?
You could try, moving the 10 stable on to a usb drive you could plug into the phone, then fastboot boot twrp.img via fastboot . Once in, format and install A10 from usb drive, done it many times

That's just it -- I can't fastboot anything. Be it roms or TWRP.
Besides, my phone doesn't really interact with my computer so no adb. Only edl (i think).

Sorry about that bud, sounds like your drivers are not installed properly. Maybe start there. I used the tool in one app to install the needed drivers. Worth a shot.

Fastboot waiting for any device
Hello everybody, I was trying to update my Magisk and that process failed. I thought nothing of it put it off. Tried to restart my phone a few days later and now it's stuck in a fastboot loop. Cannot even go into recovery. So I'm like okay...

Well, TIAO only installs google's WinUSB. I already had that installed. I just don't know why I keep getting stuck on the param preload, even with all the drivers that could be needed being installed. Maybe it has something to do with the OOS version? I have GM1915, fastboot flashed to 10.0.4 Global.
Also, I think i messed up my msm tool since now it always says connected lmao

I had the same problem with drivers. (I tried the ones that come with the device (in an .iso image I think?) and then I tried with the patched L2 drivers.)
What worked for me: installing the ALL IN ONE tool (on windows) then runing it as administrator*, then installing the drivers from within the All In One Tool program.

Running TAIO as an admin? That still only downloads WinUSB.
Can you expand on what you mean?
Under windows 10 open CMD as admin and enter bcdedit /set testsigning on
now reboot. This resolved for me the driver issue and phone was then correctly seen by msm unbrick tool
