My OnePlus One just went screwy on me and so I tried to do a reset with TWRP. The factory reset didn't work. The phone is in a bootloop as the loading screen stays on and that's it. I noticed in recovery that the " /persist" file could not be mounted so I figure it's corrupted. The problem is this: NO drivers can be loaded and my phone will not be recognized in device manager, OPO toolkit, or any other means! This thing is bricked!! I tried ADB, Google, Samsung, and Universal drivers to no effect. I just don't know how I can get my phone recognized again. It did at one point come up as QSHub or something like that but I can't even get that now. Fastboot mode comes on my phone but does nothing and the MTP USB device driver will not install! I don't know what to do and just wasted 6 hours trying to figure this out! I am not very savvy with phones when it comes to this sort of thing. I can root a phone but that's as far as I can go comfortably. If someone has a solution to this problem, please advise me but you may have to hand hold me through it as I am not really up on how to do things the way they may have to be done. Thanks!
Your phone isn't bricked. Are you making sure that you reboot your PC after each uninstall and install of any drivers?

Yes, I rebooted after installation of any drivers. It didn't make any difference as my phone still wasn't recognized by my computer.
Alright, maybe try this:

Well, my phone is recognized when I type "fastboot devices" but I do not know where to go from here. I got the device to be recognized using info from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2839471. According to your guidelines in [GUIDE] [UNBRICK] Unbrick Oneplus One, I am soft bricked, it would seem. What should my next step be? I tried to unlock the bootloader but it gives me this in the CMD window.
C:\Users\Se7en\Desktop\MTP>fastboot devices
5e1c4e77 fastboot
C:\Users\Se7en\Desktop\MTP>fastboot oem unlock
...
OKAY [ 0.020s]
finished. total time: 0.020s
C:\Users\Se7en\Desktop\MTP>fastboot oem device-in
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
OKAY [ 0.005s]
finished. total time: 0.005s
So what is the next step to get this thing working? Am I heading in the right direction or am I getting ahead of myself?
Thanks in advance for any help

If you've got fastboot working you're on your way. Your bootloader doesn't seem to be unlocking though, did you relock it at some point? If so, why? As long as you still have TWRP installed you can flash a token to unlock it again (this won't wipe your data). You'll find it in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/mod-reset-unlock-tamper-bit-t2820912
So just flash that and your bootloader will unlock. Then download this:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B98G0KTJwnBFUnJCNldodGs2dE0/edit?usp=docslist_api
Put it in your fastboot folder on your PC, put your phone in fastboot mode and connect it to your PC, then issue these commands:
Code:
fastboot erase persist
fastboot flash persist persist.img

I didn't relock it, at least I didn't set out to intentionally lock it. Through my experimentation to get this phone running again, it is very possible that I may have. I'll try the info you gave me and let you know. Thanks very much!
Sorry for being a noob but do I unzip the Bootunlocker.zip file you directed me to or leave it as is? Secondly, what is the exact procedure to flash this with TWRP? I just don't want to make any mistakes as this is all new to me. Thanks!

Don't unzip it, just transfer it to your phone, then go to the install menu in TWRP and find the zip on your phone and swipe tip install.

There's the problem: My phone isn't being recognized in Windows so I cannot transfer anything to it. How can that be remedied? The driver software for QHSUSB cannot be found and MTP device fails to install all the time!
EDIT: I think I got it! I changed the USB ADB interface driver and it recognized my phone as "One". I can now follow your instructions. I will keep you posted.
IT FREAKING WORKED!!! I am sooooo happy right now. Thank you so much!!! You can't believe how grateful I am for your help with this! Fantastic! This is awesome!! I sent you a small token of my appreciation

The only thing I can see right now is that I do not have a keyboard. How do I get that back?

You don't have a keyboard at all? Haven't seen that before. So there's no keyboard at all showing up when you go into Settings/Language & Input?

I guess this process wiped all my data because it's asking me to set up my accounts again. However, when I go try to input anything, I only have Google voice and no keyboard. Sometimes I see a keyboard icon but it doesn't respond when I touch it. If I could access my settings, I'm sure I could change things but obviously, I can't at this point.

What you could do is access the Play Store on your PC and find a free keyboard to install, press the install button in the web browser on your PC and it'll download the keyboard to your phone.

Great idea. I'll do just that. Thanks!
It doesn't work. The keyboard file isn't being pushed to my phone. SUX! Cannot root either as OPO toolkit says no ADB device detected (debugging on). Also, the log from OPOTK says that my device is unauthorized.
Here's the log:
Information: Checking ADB Status
adb devices
List of devices attached
5e1c4e77 unauthorized
Any thoughts to any of these things mentioned?

Bummer. It might be time to start from scratch. Go to my guide and follow section 8 to flash the stock images with fastboot, just don't flash the userdata image or you'll wipe your internal storage.

Get rid of the toolkit, it really isn't needed for this phone, and they cause more problems than they're worth. If you want to root all you need to do is download the SuperSU zip to your phone and install it with TWRP. I'd suggest flashing the stock images as I've described above though.

My phone stopped working all of a sudden, and when I restarted it entered the fast boot mode iteratively.
If I select recovery or normal boot, or whatever it says the same msg, "recovery image not valid".
The phone was unrooted, so I thought of rooting it.
I dont remember the status of usb debugging in my phone was on/off, now no chance to check it either.
But i could run the commands from the cmd to get the unlock data code, as well i received the code from Motorola to unlock.
When I tried the fastboot oem unlock (20 digit Unlock code)
I used to get a reply: Unlock data invalid!
Failed (failed remotely)
And some time info of time ~10s.
I also ran the getvar all command & noted the cid= 0x0007 (I dont remember count of 0's but ending was 7 which I found the device is unlockable)
I live in India & the device is not network restricted and I have bought it from flipkart.com which was sole retailer of Moto devices in India.
Can someone plz help....
Thanks,
Swapneel

Hello I got the Pixel 3 and I'm following this guide for unlocking the bootloader:
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-unlock-bootloader-root-magisk/
But when I reach the stage where I enter "fastboot flashing unlock", nothing happens, the terminal says "usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>" as if it didn't recognize the command. I've tried it several times. Perhaps my fastboot files need to be updated? I am using the same ones I used a couple years ago.
Anyway please help. Thanks!
Ahhh *facepalm* I updated my adb platform tools and now it works. ^^; sorry to waste time but maybe someone else will have this problem and thats how i solved it
I am about to lose my mind if I cant figure this out.
I have an LG Stylo 2 Plus model LG-K530F, and i have been trying to root it for several hours
I have certainly clicked the "Enable OEM Unlock" option, but no matter how many times I try the command on ABD, it will not work
I have made sure that my computer recognizes the device, and from the command prompt can successfully boot it into fast boot with "adb reboot bootloader"
I've poured through all sorts of threads and forum posts about other lg stylo 2's with different model numbers, I've factory reset the phone preemptively from suggestions, yet no matter what I try, I cannot get past "fastboot oem unlock"
And just to be sure, I have done a "fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability" just to make absolutely sure I allowed to unlock it.
It just *won't* for some reason
"fastboot getvar unlocked" tells me that it is not unlocked already
"fastboot oem lock" works and says its already locked
Does anyone have any help for me? Any suggestions? A thread or post I haven't seen yet?
The phone itself seems to imply that i need a code from LG to unlock it, there is a part on the fastboot menu that says "2) Write Unlock Key - fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin" but the LG developer website does not support this phone, so i wont be able to get one from them
lol yes you need the unlock bin from LG...
good luck
Hey everybody,
I bricked my Mi Note 10 by locking the Bootloader with the code fastboot oem lock. It then showed The System has beend destroyed.
Now I only can start the fastboot, but no Mi Recovery or anything else.
I already searched for some help but couldn´t find anything that worked, because I can´t unlock the device nor use XiaomiTool or sth like that.
And I don´t have any service center close to me that I could ask for help.
I checked the status with fastboot oem device-info:
(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
Is there anything else I could try?
I already read sth about EDL, but since my fastboot ist still working I hope there is another solution. And I´m afraid it might get worse..
Thank you in advance!

Hate to say but locking the bootloader locks your chance for unbricking. EDL is now also locked down by Xiaomi and is never accessible again.
