Hard bricked my OnePlus One by just rebooting it, help! [5$ REWARD]

I will be straightforward:
I bought an used OPO, I booted it up, configured the phone, took a photo and then decided to reboot it (turn off and then turn on), then my device simply hard bricked.
1. I already tried turning it on, the device does nothing (no vibration).
2. I already tried using Power + Vol Up and Power + Vol Down, nothing happens (no vibration).
3. Windows recognizes the device as "QHSUSB_BULK", I already tried installing the drivers and using ColorOS flashing tool from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732 , the device IS RECOGNIZED by the tool, but when I start flashing, it starts a loop when trying to flash the "8974_msimage.mbn" file (the progress bar goes until the end and then the process repeat in the same file).
Yes, the device has the bootloader unlocked, because the previous owner flashed a custom ROM, custom kernel and SuperSU.
No, the device isn't recognized by adb.
No, the device isn't recognized by fastboot.
I already tried searching on Google for this issue, everyone who had this issue never replied saying that they fixed the issue...
I never had any kind of soft/hard brick on my Moto G 2014 (and I flashed custom ROMs constantly on it)... so... can someone help me? Thanks!
I'm also willing to give 5$ on PayPal to someone who can fix this issue.

Also, if I try to use the ColorOS flashing tool, the device disconnects in the middle of the process, causing the infinite flash loop.

First, if you have a computer which installed Windows XP, just flash the ROM with COLOROS tool.
Second,if you a using Windows7 or later,,give me a photo of what the COLOROS tool showed.
Thanks for forgiving my poor English

Morning,my friend.
I tried to brick my OPO for testing.
Here's the solution.
First,open Device Manager and checked this(dont know how to speak in English):
Second, open COLOROS tool,click start and it will show the situation like what happened to you.
NOW,check Device Manager again.
Has three ways.
1.shows 9006 and MMC storage.COLOROS tool wil continue later.
2.shows QHSUSB_BULK with a yellow ! before,means no driver.
3.shows unknown device,means not enough elec.
You should be the second way.
Third,Disable Signed Driver Enforcement in Windows 7 or later.
My laptop company's suggestion:
http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answer...windows-10:-disable-signed-driver-enforcement
After that, reinstall the bricked driver and everything will be in way 1.
At last,wait for the imgs downloading,unplug microUSB,press power and reboot twice,then you can unlock bootloader and do what you want.

Thanks for replying!
Sadly, your suggestion didn't work, I plugged in the OPO, opened Msm8974DownloadTool.exe and clicked "Start", closed drivers manager and reopened it and nothing changed (It was like your first screenshot)
EDIT: And yes, I'm on Test Mode + Allow Unsigned Drivers

Open Device Manager.
Press Power &Vol Up for about 10 seconds.
See if it will change between 9008 and 9006.

I have same thing did it work
I am just wondering if u managed to fix it.

I had the exact same issue. To stop the device from disconnecting, I needed to remove all existing drivers, let the phone charge, plug it into the PC. Hold volume up + power until the PC recognises it. Then I used the color OS flashing tool.
I had to run it as administrator, and it worked fine on Windows 10, without anything extra. However remember you'll lose all your stuff. Lucky for me I had a backup of my entire phone on my PC when I switched file system to F2FS.
This issue in itself has really baffled me. It happened to me when flashing sultans rom, and the phone completely bricked. However I'm using the rom now after fully recovering the device... I guess it's just down to bad luck?

Don't use "msm8974-download-manager" use qfil to recover the phone. Worked for me.
http://www.androidbrick.com/ultimate-qualcomm-snapdragon-unbrick-guide-snapdragons-are-unbrickable-qhsusb_dload_qpst_qfil/

Download 2012 qhs diagnostic driver and use xp machine.It will work just fine.

install a fresh windows either x32/x64 winxp/win 7 extract color OS and install the correct drivers

I think I killed my brand new phone

I've been running the crDroid OOS 10 OB3 ROM since I got my phone two weeks ago and everything was fine and I updated to OB4 today. Well, after I tried changing system ui themeing my phone stopped displaying any system ui at all so I tried to restore my nandroid backup. My nandroid backup took 4 hours then when it got to bluetooth my battery was dying so I had to stop it.
I rebooted into TWRP and tried to clean flash the rom but it gave me errors about mounting the data partition so I tried changing slots.
Well after I changed slots I am stuck in fastboot mode and can't get back to TWRP and adb wont recognize my phone. There's no bootloader or baseband version displayed on fastboot and the product name/variant is msmnile/SDM UFS, my phone is still unlocked if it matters. Someone in the ROM telegram suggested I try the MSM tool but my phone doesn't seem to want to boot into Qualcomm mode and I'm worried that might be a big issue.

Hi!
I really don't know if this helps because you might have already tried it, but I had a similar problem where the normal fastboot mode didnt work and I had no Recovery. Someone suggested, that I should hold Volume Up, Volume down and the Power button all at the same time and from there I was able to revive the phone with the All-In-One Tool...
I quickly looked up the Qualcomm Mode and MSM-Tool you mentioned but I'm still not sure if that is what I just described, so Im posting this just to make sure you tried it because it was a really easy fix when I thought I bricked my phone
Sorry if you already did it, anyway Good Luck!

Well see the issue is I'm trying to get All in One to recognize my phone but it won't seem to boot into EDL mode. I installed the Qualcomm USB drivers but it's still not showing my phone. When I use the key combo suggested to boot into EDL mode my phone does refresh in device manager giving me the qualcomm device so I assume this is download mode just not displaying the text anymore. If i try the key combo with my phone unplugged it takes awhile but eventually goes into fastboot.

In this case I can't help you, i googled EDL, it is what I meant and it was all I got :-/
Wish you good luck

If your bootloader is unlocked try to flash the fastboot rom from fastboot.

what the problem u are facing while flashing from msm tools?

If you haven't fixed your phone yet just use MSMtool it will fix it, this phones essentially unbrickable.

I installed the qualcomm drivers and it showed up in MSM tool and gave me success after 6 seconds but nothing else happened so I unplugged my phone now it says device descriptor failed when I try to go into qualcomm mode
If i uninstall the drivers and try again same thing and trying to use the qualcomm driver files tells me my driver is already up to date

Well you need to hit start once it's connected. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/msm-tool-guac-t3934691 follow the instructions there with the phone being unplugged and powered off open msm hold volumes while not hitting power at all and wait then plug into the computer.

During Installing drivers again choose the option (something of) search from internet. And let the file be downloaded and install. Trust me this method works. I too had same problem

Okay I got the descriptor issue to stop and MSM is detecting the phone again but its still not booting to anything when I run the tool like the guide said it should. I do upgrade mode right?

Your file does the same thing
The connection status switches to N/A but if i stop it and enum it still detects the phone
I used the drivers provided in your link and it still doesnt seem to work
that status bar at the bottom says Running: Upgrade though but thats just an indicator of the job task, no?

[REQ] Unihertz Titan Stuck in Bootloop

Okay here's where all this started https://www.facebook.com/groups/130...61465&ref=notif&notif_t=group_comment_mention
Windows and Android Drivers are always a bothersome attempt at trying to get to work properly. Always with a hiccup.
I formated a new laptop with Windows 7 64 Bit Sp1
It still acts as though I don't have a bootloader, recovery menu or chinese mediatek diagnostics menu.
Phone is just constantly looping off and on, in SP Flash Tool it'll timeout. I let the battery drain yesterday and did get a full battery and the green circle.
Me and Nomi (the developer of the rom) tried everything yesterday and he even said he hasn't seen anything like it before, but had driver issues before too.
I'd believe it's still got USB Debugging and looks to still be OEM Bootloader Unlocked as I have the text on the bootscreen.
Just trying to think of anything else I can do, as unihertz hasn't answered my email since yesterday afternoon at 2.
But this seems to be a common problem as you'll see in this reddit:

Are you needing help or you solved the bootloop?

I'll find out when I get home from work this morning Unihertz did finally reply to my email at 3am
I'm going to try in both Ubuntu and Windows as they have me tute's and files for both.
On that and the windows note can anyone recommend which driver version works best doesn't matter if it's 7 or 10, so long as it's 64Bit supported.

Obviusly you only need flash stock recovery.img as your device has A9.
For Custom Recovery like TWRP maybe I can ask my friend to help you. If - you still TWRP want?!

Where's the link for that I'll try and see as even with a reply from Unihertz and new files I'm still running into the same error. Where constant looping and when plugged in attempting to flash the factory firmware it times out with a red Download DA bar loading at 100% in seconds and then two minutes later timing out and giving me error code 0xXC0010005.
RN I don't think it'd be possible to get it to stay in bootloader or on long enough to fully do the ADB or Powershell twrp.img flash, interestingly enough I did find MTK Droid Tools v2.5.3B has a rewrite boot and recovery option and askes for the img before proceeding and I didn't do anything else after that though cause it wants a .prm as for a scatter file. Oh and it has ADB builtin to the program.

Search in the internet How install MTK drivers, specially in the Win7. Better in Win10 and if you as that so the drivers [link] is much better, You can try installing that file but need reboot your computer. After try flash with SPFT.
Don't choose FORMAT+ALL or any option with FORMAT+........
Win7 need more effort to start drivers for Mediatek devices!
You can try pressing constantly the VOL - button when put USB for SPFT work.

The issue I keep running into here is no matter how charged the battery is, it won't stay power up long enough to even attempt to correctly install the drivers. (I think at least, still don't ever see a unknown device in other devices), if I could get that far I'd probably stand a chance of recovering it.

We often don't realize that certain errors are normal on our machine. So the question is to test in others computers.
But there are possibilities of company blocks or even something that has happened on the phone without it really should happen.
Some interesting cases:
1- I noticed with the image you showed about trying to flash all the firmware.
** So even if you have tried the Download only or Firmware Upgrade options, the question remains if you tried to flash only the recovery.img file? Obviously you can have the same error in SPFT?!
2- Cases of hardware vs software that match the use and characteristics found such as restarting the PC and trying to flash in a different USB port. Same problem?!: Drivers are resolved?!
The biggest case of suggesting something or thinking that this or that is a problem wastes precious time. Confirm the main steps!:
1- Driver correctly installed and working;
2- Driver works: Different USB PORT tested;
3- SPFT version must be tested. Mainly previous versions to confirm the error message that persists or may disappear;
4- Phone particularities: pressing the VOL buttons for a while can trigger the preloader that is responsible for the connection between the SPFT and your phone on the computer. Switching to VOL+ or Power or VOL- with VOL+ or VOL+ VOL - and Power may solve or confirm the non-solution.
Best way: Win10 with driver updates. Find the way to disable unsigned driver installations. But you can use this driver and you must restart your computer for it to take effect.
Make sure the USB port has a speed feature for the flashing process. Example: All USB ports are 2.0 only and SPFT asks for a USB 3.0 port to make the connection.
With everything confirmed the rest is something to question in relation to having the correct firmware file or the device itself having blocked the installation process due to a drastic change in the preloader or something that has changed and is blocking it.
Look previous posts about that so all depends on what you have and how you use it.
Unfortunately everyone (including me) who went through bad times like the one you have now, has a headache because it's a simple process and doesn't know what to do. But on the other hand, it's a huge learning experience when we solve it.
But there is still a choice without a headache: take it to a technical assistance and pay for it!

No on drivers when it goes to do the typical windows installation with the installation boxes in the upper left corner, I keep getting red x's.
I'm letting it charge some more and tomorrow trying again on my windows 7 laptop, as I think I'm also getting hung up on disabling driver signatures on windows 10 laptop. IDK if it's cause I'm dual booting JingOS 0.9 and that cancels out F7 or what the hang up is on that part.

In all honesty I think you'll end up finding that the only way to recover it is by removing and reprogramming the nand in a proper programmer.

Would that also be done in SP Flash Tool or another software? I've also got these MTK tools.

Okay a little bit of progress and interesting discovery of errors...
Upon extracting a rom from wherever in zip format, in at least 7zip it gets as far as boot.img and then has an error extracting that.
I discovered this by finding Miracle Flash Tool and clicked on Android tab, loaded the scatter file and it took and accepted it and then said boot.img missing please load and pulled up a selection window.
IDK SP Flash Tool never said that. I got drivers to work once and then rebooted now can't get them to work again keeps saying unrecognized usb device. At least it's a bit of progress.

If you have more drivers for others phones like samsumg, motorola, lg, etc so remove that's and reboot computer. Install again MTK Drivers, UAC permissions and reboot computer. Test SPFT.
But here a good video to see and may be can fix - confirm driver issue in Win7:

[SOLVED] Lenovo TAB 2 A7-20F Hard Brick (Dead)

I wanted to update Lenovo TAB 2 A7-20F trough SP Flash tool since Android 4.4.2 is really old and kind of useless. I started flashing Lollipop update but after some time flash tool showed error that I can't remember. The device got bootloop. I have seen that I have putted to "Download Only" mode in flash tool instead of "Firmware Update" or "Download Only + Format All", so I tought that's the reason why my device got bricked . Now Instead of just flashing ROM again I used Format Tab in SP flash tool and formated Tablet. And now it's hard bricked. It's not charging or turning on. Not detected by PC when pluged . I tried opening it and removing battery and trying different key combo to put it in META mode since I think preloader is formated as well. If anyone has any idea how can I fix it please replay. I watched youtube tutorials that didn't help . I probably missed something so send help . I guess I have to learn hard way.

I think I have problem. I know for kcolo and gnd method but just take a look at this picture.
This is motherboard of my tablet. Most of points aren't labeled and bruteforcing them could damage motherboard. And there is this big heatsink I guess so , maybe it's under there...
I did find stock ROM, only problem is that it's not detected in device manager at all.

Here is the image the closeup image without heatsink.
These are all contact point I could find. There are 9 total. 4 of them near USB port , 3 near battery plug at bottom that you can't rly see but they are unlabeled , and 2 more that I am not sure about what they do. One of them is near camera and other near sd card reader. Not even sure if these are possible test points.

I was able to find and join kcolo ( volume + and volume - points in my case). Now the problem is that after installing driver and trying to flash I get error 4032 in sp flash tool. I tried older versions but they don't support it;
I tried different drivers but didn't help. If anyone can help pls replay.

Can you provide a picture or explain what you did? I cant seem to find the kcolo/colo and ground pins i need to connect. I would aprechiate it a lot if you gave me an explanation on the process!

You kinda destroyed the whole software by using the format tab. If you didn't, you could've still reinstalled the stock ROM. I have a Lenovo Tab 2 A7-10F that was bricked itself, but I have no idea what's going on

Im in a similar situation, i flashed a Lenovo Tab 2 A7-10F rom at Lenovo Tab A7-20F. Tablet wont get recognized by a computer, nor boot nor show any signs of life. Its like this for 1,5 year. Is it possible to bring it back to life?

It’s complicated. The Lenovo Tab 2 A7-10F and 20F are different tablets, so the ROMs compatible with either won’t be compatible with the other. First, make sure the battery is somewhat charged. The energy transfer should depend on the hardware, not the software. I did unbrick my 10F recently but I was able to power it on and the PC recognised it, although it took some time to find the right drivers. Assuming you’re using Windows, have you checked in Device Manager to see if the device is present? I had the same issue where I couldn’t interact with the tablet from the PC but that was because of the absence of drivers. I don’t know precisely what can be done if it doesn’t even turn on, but it could just be a dead battery (that is, if you haven’t tried to hook it up to the charger).

I was able to completely fix and update tablet to Android 5. The golden points are located at back of the motherboard:
The two points at the bottom when connected should make your device recognized in device manager.
After that you install mediatek drivers onto that device and flash stock rom with SP Flash tool.
I unbricked it more than 2 months ago but I was lazy to write this so sorry for waiting.

Thanks for the help but unfortunately I've already lost all hope. Ive tried everything. I don't really care about the device that much so it doesn't bother me.

Have you tried the method I showed above? Maybe your drivers are not installed correctly. Windows should detect device even without drivers and you will hear the connected sound, just like you pluged your USB in.

I am the guy that contacted you on telegram a while back. I have indeed tried your method but no luck in there.

Sry for the following stupid questions but:
-) How do I start the program in win64?
-) Can I use this to dump the current android rom of my phone and get boot.img+vbmeta.img thus being able to root the phone using magisk?

Extract zip, run rom2box.exe
yes you can dump current ROM, Mediatek/firmware-reader

Turns out my work laptops antivirus instantly removed the .exe

Does the bootloader need to be locked to get into this preload mode and to dump the rom? I already unlocked it before.
Now if I hold up and down volume and plug in the phone Rom2box says "..handshake failed..". Rebooted after installing mediatek and usbdk drivers and I also tried different usb ports.

The same story for me, the phone can't be put in preload or download mode or whatever they call it. I know one thing it is my last Oneplus phone if they're all going to be pain in the arse like this one. I guess it's back to my old 6t for another while then.

Accessing it by way of Recovery mode is also broken. To try it yourself, boot in to Recovery, connect your phone to your computer with usb-c cable. Multi-tap version number, it will eventually ask you if you want download mode and you click yes. It will attempt reboot into download mode, fail and then will `normal` boot phone.

connect in Proper way= install Latest usbdk and mtk driver, start process turn Phone off press volume up & down key and then Insert USB, once the Phone is detected release keys

Thanks for the info, though I have been doing that setup all along. I dual windoze and Linux. My windows is a custom minimal version of windows 10 with feck all on it. I upgraded this phone to stock 12 beta yesterday and ROM2Box for a wonder is happily doing a dump of that. It should be interesting when I downgrade to stock 11 and try to do a dump of that.

@mark332 thanks for the advice, phone happily did dump with the OxygenOS 12 Open Beta 1 but refused point blank to do a dump with OxygenOS 11 Build number: IV2201_11_A13. Is there any difference in your phone setup to my own - bootloader unlocked?

Nice, May be BROM is disabled on stable version so you are not able to dump OxygenOS 11

Hi @mark332, sorry I wasn't able to get to you sooner about this. Coredump was only possible with OxygenOS 12.1 beta, BROM was definitely locked down in 11. I succeeded with 12 but 'out' folder looks incomplete, files like ''preloader' which is in the beta package are missing from the dump. I don't think I would be able return to stock with ROM2box, maybe manually with fastboot commands.

Well downgrading this phone from OxygenOS 12 beta 1 to OxygenOS 11 has left it without a working touch screen in the normal mode or recovery so it is now a dust collector unless Oneplus / Oppo are willing to fix it.

I guess I used OnePlus's rollback guide once too often besides it is a beta, I was bound to get bitten in the arse evenually; https://community.oneplus.com/thread?id=1110424001643544581

I guess if BROM mode works, use the bypass method to flash back to A11.v

Ah you see, the fecking phone managed to rollback to 11 but the touch screen driver is broken I guess. Physical buttons work but touch is broken. So I have contacted Oneplus tech support so we'll see what response I get tomorrow.
