Soft Bricked? - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

I apologize as I've been out of flashing ROMs for over 4 years now.
I unlocked my OP6 bootloader, added TWRP, the flashed Lineage 11.
One of my apps wont play nice with root so I tried to go back to stock.
I tried to use TWRP 3.5.2_9-0 to restore my TWRP backup I made of the stock ROM after unlocking and obtaining root, it ended in a 'extracttarfork() process ended with error=255' at the point of trying to restore system. I tried it a couple of times only trying to restore system, boot and data.
Now I'm in a jam.
The phone boots up but goes right to 'Qualcomm CrashDump Mode' with error 'Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b complete_and_exit'.
If I hold vol down + power it takes me to the TWRP loading screen and gets stuck there.
edit: I can now boot into fastboot by holding power, once booting I let go and hold vol up + vol down at the same time. I can then use my PC from fast boot to boot into TWRP.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I made a mistake somewhere and I'm not sure where.
edit: After following this guide https://www.droidwin.com/restore-oneplus-6-stock-via-fastboot-commands/ I am now at the point where my device is boot looping and if I hold volume down during the loop I get to the OnePlus recovery.
edit last: Finally found MSM worked to get me back to stock. https://www.thecustomdroid.com/oneplus-6-6t-unbrick-guide/
Hopefully if anyone matches the issue I had this post will help. Lots of different guides for MSM, the above link was easy and worked without any special downloads, setups or files.

Glad u got ur phone booted again. Yeah, for me the best way to revert everything back on normal state is just re flash the entirephone with MSM dowload tool.
I hope this could help the others.

[Q] Rooted, bad recovery, and stuck in bootloop

I scoured the forums, but have not been able to find out what I can do to solve my problem. So here it is.
I rooted my phone (to play around with some settings, what have you) and flashed TWRP recovery onto it. I got an error msg when booting up, so I decided to push an original recovery back onto the phone, because it wouldn't go to TWRP. I followed a guide (which I can't find now) to push back a stock version of recovery and it failed. My phone would boot normally just fine, but when I tried to go to recovery it would loop.
The OTA update came today, and dumbass me pressed continue (not thinking) and now I am stuck in a boot loop, and cannot get out of it.
Cannot get into recovery.
Cannot get into download mode.
Got any ideas?
Thanks
Same Problem
I have pretty much the same problem. Please help!
well without recovery/download mode working or the phone being in fastboot mode there really isn't much that can be done, you can always try to claim on warranty
boot loop
So, let me get this straight. If it failed when you tried to install the stock recovery, then you still have the TWRP recovery right?
I ran into a boot loop problem earlier when I tried upgrading TWRP. I just couldn't access my recovery so here is what I tried:
Code:
Turn your phone off.
Press volume down and power button until the LG logo comes on screen
Let go of both buttons
Hold the volume down and power buttons again until you see the "hard reset screen"
Press power once and then power again to confirm. The screen says it will reset your device but it will not as long as you have a custom recovery installed.
Your custom recovery should appear on screen.
Try the steps above and see if you can get into a recovery. Once you do maybe try resetting. Hope that helps.

[Q] Stuck in bootloop, recover files

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.

[Q] Can't boot into recovery?

So, I got my new OnePlus One today and I tried to get CM12 onto it. I was following the [GUIDE] How to Install CM12 on the OnePlus One- Android Lollipop/5.0 on the OPO forums, and everything went well until I tried to get the TWRP on there. I flashed the recovery and rebooted the phone. I turned it off and then tried to boot it into recovery but it doesn't, it just hangs at the OPO logo until I hard-restart it.
I've tried factory resetting it and doing
fastboot oem unlock
but nothing happened. The factory reset pretty much just reset the phone. I think I might've messed up the kernel. How do I fix it?
EDIT 1: I've tried reflashing twrp recoveries and nothing. When I hold power+volume down, it powers on, shows the one plus logo, then reboots and just goes to the lockscreen.
UPDATE 1: I managed to manually flash all the CM12 files and use lollipop. I haven't tried the recovery yet but I'll keep you guys updated (if any of you even care).
UPDATE 2: Apparently flashing CM12 made the recovery work. Everything works as it should and the OTA to the most recent CM12 worked perfectly.
You're probably doing the button combo wrong. Hold volume down, then hold power (so you're holding them together), when you see the boot logo let go of power but keep holding volume down until you reach recovery.

I was curios and enabled advanced reboot to try and boot into recovery and it worked (after I had flashed CM12). Everything's working now.

How did you manually flash CM12? I think I'm having the same trouble you were having. I used the oneplus toolbox from the forum to unlock the bootloader, then flash the TWRP, but no luck in getting into recovery mode. It just boot loops with the oneplus logo until I release the volume down button at which point it then boots to the lock screen.

@Heisenberg I'm also having trouble getting into recovery. I've tried the different button combos (power + vol down; power + vol down and release power) as well as the advance reboot options to get into recovery, but they all fail. I get the 1+ logo and after I let go of the volume down button the screen goes black and boots again to the 1+ screen and then to the lockscreen. It's almost like it doesn't recognize the recovery. I tried putting the stock recovery back on using the image in the OnePlus One toolkit folder, but that one doesn't work either. In addition to unchecking the "CM Recovery Update", are there any other settings that could be causing problems?
For background info, I initially used the toolkit interface to unlock the bootloader and then flash the recovery. The bootloader unlocked with no issue...it wiped my device and I was in sync with the "How to root" video posted by alex.inthi. I got sidetracked after the (seemingly) successful flash of TWRP onto the phone I kept getting booted into the Cyanogen recovery. I realized out that I needed to uncheck the setting to keep it from overwriting TWRP and after that was not able to boot into recovery. After finding your beginners guide (thanks, by the way, very well written) I tried using fastboot from the command line as you show, but still no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help...

Okay, I must have been having a special kind of moment - I've got TWRP 2.8.7.0 running on my handset now. I may have been holding the volume down button too long, or it may be that I was using an older version of TWRP, but I'm going to go with the former. I've also been able to successfully flash and boot into Philz 6.59.2
Having the same problem
I am having the exact same problem and cannot seem to find a solution. Recovery screen just doesn't appear, but goes to lockscreen.
Tried erasing, flashing both twrp, philz etc., but nothing works. The phone doesn't recognize the recovery status. Advanced booting does the same.
Update CM-recovery is checked off, phone is unlocked. I've followed every step of the big guide down to every detail.
Is manually flashing the 12.1 ROM the only way and in that case: is it hard for a relative newcomer?

Can't boot into recovery

I tried booting into recovery today, and my R7 Plus just boots normally. It gives the vibrate indication, and then the OPPO logo flashes on for a split second... but then it gives up booting into recovery, the screen goes black again, and the phone boots normally.
If I hold down volume [-] and power, it keeps flashing the Oppo logo and then black screening every second until I let go of the buttons. It seems to me like it keeps trying to boot into recovery and then something goes wrong. After I let go of the buttons, it boots normally.
Booting to recovery through Flashify didn't work; it gave the same Oppo logo-flash before turning back and booting normally.
For some more background, after rooting my phone, I did some deleting of .com files and other Oppo-associated apps/files; I'm not a fan of ColorOS and any Oppo bloatware, so I probably deleted some pretty important stuff. Actually, I'm pretty sure I deleted something important along the way.
I would like to do a clean install to get all of the key firmware modules/files back, I can't do that without access to recovery. I tried unrooting and installing an official update, but that failed since I can't access recovery. What's more, I can't re-root because, again, recovery isn't available; Oppo Tools isn't working.
If I do a factory reset, does that restore all of the ColorOS data, including restoring deleted OS files, or does it just delete my user data and I still won't be able to boot into recovery? Is there a way to flash a stock ROM without recovery mode being available?

Device stuck in boot loop with no access to twrp or usb debugging

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone might be able to provide some assistance to help me solve my problem here. Basically I was attempting to flash havoc os to my oneplus 7 pro and I think I wiped both the a/b partitions by accident as now it’s stuck in boot loop.
basically it will constantly boot loop where it goes to the unlocked boot loader warning and then reboots. If I attempt to boot to recovery, it will flash with the twrp screen for 1-2 seconds and then reboot. Will boot to fast boot mode but cannot enable usb debugging.. any help would be greatly appreciated, and If anyone needs me to clarify anything I will do my best but its been a week or two since it happened and I can’t seem to find a working solution anywhere. Thank you.
I know this is an older post, but as a thought, when you go to the fastboot menu, if you wait, does it reboot there too?
If so, I think this may be your power button acting up. I had that problem with my phone. I could boot to fastboot or recovery, but couldn't stay in them long enough to do anything. First time it happened, I took the phone apart and disconnected the power button and I was able to get it to boot up successfully. Next time it happened, I just hit the power button multiple times until it started booting up properly.
If this is not the case for you, I would try to fastboot boot the latest version of TWRP rather than from the recovery process (holding down buttons and hoping it boots). I've read that on some devices (with older versions of TWRP), it was recommended to fastboot TWRP rather than flash for better compatibility.
