So I messed. Accidentally formatted my phone and now it's screwed. Tried to use fastboot to put boot.img on, but my computer won't recognize my phone when I do "fastboot devices" or any commands. It won't boot or anything. I dunno what to do, kinda need a phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated and rewarded duly.

so no signs of life at all? can you get to the bootloader? how exactly did you format your phone?
the XDA brains trust is going to need a bit more info.

Sorry, there are signs of life. I can get to the bootloader and recovery. And I honestly clicked the wrong button, that's what happens when you don't sleep and decide to try to flash a new rom.
Are you sure you didn't flash a new Rom

If you can get to bootloader and recovery, you're not bricked. You just need to flash a new rom, this time remembering to flash the boot.img in fastboot like the instructions say.

If 'fastboot devices' returns nothing, then you are most likely missing drivers. Easiest way to get drivers is install HTC Sync Manager. It will install the app and the drivers, you can safely uninstall the app later and still have the drivers stay installed

reboot to fastboot, but do not select bootloader (it should say "Fastboot" in red writing just underneath the green text and above the orange text.
connect it via usb to your pc, and it should say "fastboot usb", then you should be able to use fastboot commands. if it doen't allow you to use fastboot commands, try a different usb port, or reinstalling the drivers.

Hmmm, when it rebooted it stopped at the htc screen? This sounds like it's not going to the fastboot mode. Reboot with the volume held down. That should get to the fastboot mode.

After I push the boot.img through fastboot, when I reboot it just sticks on the HTC boot screen. I can get to the fastboot screen but I already have the boot.img on there. What next? should it work?

go to your recovery and flash the ROM (the boot.img is just the kernel) if you haven't done that.

My phone is stuck in OnePlus One boot image..... if i try to reflash the system via Fastboot is telling me "Device not Unlocked cannot flash or erase" .... what should i do ???? Please help ...
Try
fastboot devices
And than
fastboot oem unlock
But you need to be in fastboot mode. You will enter it by holding volume up and power button.

Not able to get to fastboot (vol+ and power). phone only boots into stock recovery. adb sideload works. installed stock cm11s via that the installation was successful but rebooting the phone takes me back to Stock Recovery (CyanogenMod Simple Recovery). This is a defect and OnePlus should be replacing my phone but, they are being very slow to respond, so I'm looking here for alternative solutions. It's a beautiful phone, but it just doesn't work

I never had such an issue so wait until more savvy people chimes in. Anyways it is really strange
hope so
Hmm. Not getting into fastboot is weird indeed..
Did you try another recovery? Did you try to adb reboot into booloader (fastboot)? Maybe the volume up button is not working..
Actually it looks like I may be in fastboot, but fastboot devices doesn't show anything. I tried the ColorOS install method in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/wrong-kernel-black-screen-fastboot-adb-t2835696 and looks like I've installed ColorOS, but instead of my previous problem, now I am stuck with a ColorOS Recovery Bootloop

When in fastboot does your PC recognize the device? Maybe you need drivers.

Hmm. I would try to install a different rom via TWRP. Give that a try
Sorry i cannot be more help.. Maybe its better to get a replacement from Oneplus themselves.
I was trying to get the latest twrp '2.8.7.2'. I downloaded it and flashed the img to recovery and nothing seemed to happen so I tried flashing it to boot then I tried to reboot the system. Now when I try to turn it on I get stuck on the Google like it is turning but it just gets stuck. I tried Charging it now when I charge it I get stuck on the battery logo. When I try booting it Booting it into recovery(twrp) I get a black screen. I can tell the Screen is on because of the dim glow it gives off but it is not doing anything. Note: I am some what of a noob when it comes to this stuff, My nexus 5 was running Marshmallow, and I was running the Xtra smooth rom (it is very close to stock). Plz help. I have also just found out that the reason im getting the bootloop is I flashed the wrong version of TWRP need a fix PLZ HELP.
Did you try flashing stock recovery or twrp 2.8.7.1?

All you have to do is boot into your bootloader (Power + Volume Up + Volume Down at the same time) and flash the stock recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Chances are you flashed an incorrect version of TWRP meant for another phone hence the boot loop.

You dont need recovery, you need bootloader.

Can you please explain to me exactly what to do. thank you. also my bootloader is unlocked. I also can get to fastboot so what is the diffrence between bootloader and fastboot.
Hold down the volume +, volume -, and power button. You'll be taken to a screen with the word START at the top. Now, connect the phone to your Windows computer using the USB cable, open a command prompt and type "fastboot flash recovery nameof twrpfile.img", press the enter key, use the volume button to select recovery, use the power button to enter recovery, press the power button, press volume + button, and you should enter TWRP.
Thank you but I do not own a windows computer
Then look up the respective commands. You flashed twrp over your kernel, you need to flash a proper boot.img (kernel) if you want the phone to boot. Fastboot is ran through bootloader. Flash the proper kernel in bootloader using fastboot.

It might not have been working because I did not enable USB Debuging. :crying:
USB debugging is required for adb commands. With fastboot mode, debugging isn't necessary.

Can you please walk me through this i am some what of a beginner when it comes to some of these things. I can try the tool kits agin but need help.
hi, I hope I'm in the right place to get help with my issue. my Ace is in a reboot loop that i can't seem to get it out of. i have tried force rebooting and lt will not enter into recovery mode so that each time i would hit recovery mode the screen goes blank for a few seconds then the moto logo (M powered by Android) screen comes on with vibration for six seconds then again to blank repeating this loop until i again hold power and volume down buttons. I do have a lot of apps installed but this phone has a whole lot of memory that came with it. I am hoping this forum may have some ideas to help me rectify this issue. thank you.
While connected to a pc, enter the fastboot - w command. This will erase the internal memory and your phone should be able to boot.

thank you for responding. I connected my phone to my laptop but it does not detect it. my phone has, highlighted in red, AP fastboot flash mode (secure). also, tools mode: Disabled, and OEM locked
If you can reboot to recovery, try a factory reset.

thats the problem I"m having is getting into the recovery. I hold the volume down and the power buttons down till I can see the options recovery mode, but when I click on it by pushing on the power button, that's when it goes into the loop mode and never goes into recovery.
Use the Lenovo tool to download and flash the stock rom which includes a recovery.

I did what you adviced and I was instructed to enable debugging or fastboot mode in order to be able to rescue. But if I was able to do either one of those that means I wouldn't need help booting up. follow what I'm saying? because I would have to get into the settings to enable debugging or fastboot mode, somthing I can't do because my phone will not boot up.
To enable fastboot moode, hold the power button and the volume down button at the same time. This should put you in the right place. You should get red text that says you are in fastboot mode. If not, go to https://t.me/motoblankflash and ask for help.
