Soft bricked. Please help.

Keeps booting to recovery mode and I have no idea how to install stock rom again. Is there a way through fastboot? oneplus recovery doesn't let you install anything.

have u tried to sideload 5.1.5 full zip?

How can I side load it? My pc only sees my phone in fastboot mode.

u said it keeps going to recovery, can u not do it via recovery?

why do people play with things they dont know?

LOL! I don't know why this was so funny to me. Basically day 1 of people getting their OnePlus 6's and already "I bricked my phone" threads popping up.

There's no update through recovery and haha yeah lol. I love rooting and messing with things but I'm simply a teenage novice ? So not always the best with it all. Worst comes to worst I just wait for twrp to be released and fix it from there.

I'm sure there's a way without TWRP. I'd try to lend a hand but I've been away from OnePlus for so long I don't know how it's different than my Pixel 2 XL.
I'd dig around the OnePlus 5T forums. software wise, it should be the same. You'll probably find a quick solution over there. Good luck!
EDIT: Now I'm curious... Does anyone know if there is a way to lash a factory Oxygen OS image through fastboot commands? That would solve your problem, but I don't know if that's something specific to Pixel devices.

I hope u unlocked ur bootloader, also how the heck did u already soft brick
see if this works

What did you even do to soft brick it? You could try fast boot flashing the boot.img again and see if it boots, get the one from the root thread if you're on the latest Oxygen OTA.

No I tried flashing all img files I could from 5.1.3 and no luck. Stuck on boot animation.

Did you try to flash stock boot img 5.1.5 in fastboot ?
EDIT : try to flash in both slots
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

SOLVED!!!!
Had to critical unlock in fastboot and restored to 5.1.3 by flashing all imgs. Then booted up and flashed from local storage 5.1.5. Phone is back up and running again ?

help me...even i soft bricked my one plus 6!

Help on rooting a BLU Studio G2 S010Q

Can somebody help me on trying to root my BLU Studio G2? I have tried non-PC methods, but it never worked. Then I tried to root with Kingroot, but because there isn't any class of recovery for my phone, I'm attempting to use Magisk. My bootloader can have the option to be unlocked, but when I hit the Volume Up button to confirm it, it doesn't do anything. Please, I would like this to be solved ASAP.

Thanks for your appreciation, but I've visited this page multiple times, but it's imposible, since first of all, the bootloader can't be unlocked because the volume buttons don't do anything to confirm its unlocking. And second, it's nearly impossible to get a twrp recovery for my phone. The page I had visited multiple has it, but I can't have the download access. ????

Hi there,
Have you tried enabling the boot loader option by going into the developer mode.
And try using ADB Command to unlock the boot loader and it can also help you to root and maybe also install a custom recovery.

Indeed I did, but as I said, the volume buttons won't do anything to confirm its unlocking. Would it be possible to flash the patched boot image using SP flash tool, avoiding the bootloader to be unlocked?

You must've confused the G2 HD (S555Q) with the standard G2 (S010Q) which is the one I have. Also, is it possible to flash the patched boot image from Magisk using SP Flash Tool?

HI there,
It might not be possible as SP FLASH TOOL will definitely give you an error.........
AND IF YOU DID BYPASS THE PROCESS THERE MIGHT BE A CHANCE THAT IT WILL BRICK SO I SUGGEST THAT NOT TO DO IT
there might be another way

Many months ago, I had found the latest stock rom for this phone and took the boot.img from the file to flash itvon sp flash tool. Worked like a charm!

Msm unbricktool op7?

Hello, does anybody have this tool for the normal op7 please?

i also bricked my phone. pls share msm download tool if you get.

Hi, have you solved the problem? Do you have the bootloader open? If you have the bootloader open you can put the ROM by fastboot, after putting it recommend to do a factory reset.

Well... Its possible. But in the most cases you can't boot into fastboot to flash the fastboot rom. This happens when you format vendor or system for example. I saw someone wrote this at the OP7 Pro forums. Bootloader will get locked with no system installed. I guess that's why we don't have custom roms yet. No one wanna risk to brick phone.

Hello friend, you say that if custom recovery Twrp is done "Wipe system" closes bootloader and does not let you put rom by fastboot?

I don't know that. But I saw it in OP7 Pro thread. A guy was thinking about to flash a rom on his op7 pro 5g. Dev said if he wipe vendor and system he will brick his phone and bootloader gets locked. But im not sure about this. Personally I never wipe system.

Now that we have Msm for OnePlus 7, maybe Custom Roms are starting to come out. In TWRP can you make a Wipe System?

Had any one got their Redmis2 bricked this morning?

I woke up this morning to find the phone stuck mi logo, apparently some faulty upgrade was deployed on air and caused a soft brick. Now I'm having a chicken or egg situation since I didn't link the phone to MI account and not I can't unlock it to use either fastboot or mi flash tool to flash a new image. The phone was not rooted and didn't have any custom recovery tools such as TWRP installed. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Download https://xiaomiflashtool.com/ Then,wipe your phone's OS.Later find one of the official firmware and flash it to your phone.If you want to,you can update your phone with OTA in the future if you installed old firmware.But,i dont recommend due to the fact that it is bloated.

Fastboot ROM for Android 11 needed, thanks!

Hi guys,
I made a mistake installing the Android 11 firmware update and afterwards flashing TWRP and installing Magisk.
Second mistake because I couldn't boot I flashed an old Fastboot ROM, but that doesn't help me.
Can anyone please point me to the fastboot rom for android 11 update?
Thank you very much.

Hey,
I bricked my OP7 after what seemed like successfully installing and using Android 11. I am getting the Teamwin blinking brick.
This(

Or do you suggest to use the Android 11 firmware available on XDA?

I am pretty sure I know my OS, but is there a way to find out?
I was running the stable, but flashing stock boot just led me to a boot loop with the Original Recovery, it's giving me options to
1. Wipe data and cache
2. Reboot to fastboot
3. Reboot to recovery
The fastboot flash commands above to flash stock OS didn't work, due to one error or another.
Anyhow, I had read somewhere fastboot continue works(here: it wasn't working before for me), so I tried that again, and now I am just stuck on 1+ Fastboot screen. I will wait it out to see if it boots into system.
Otherwise, I am thinking I reload fastboot and flash stock boot just like I did- and from there wipe data, but what do I expect then??
The way I see it, I am just stuck in some serious boot issue, and might eventually have to go down the path of msndownloadtool, any suggestion?

Flashing the stock boot.img should be enough to boot into system without problems because TWRP can't decrypt data in android 11.
In this point you can try a factory reset from stock recovery this will keep device files but will erase all your config and apps
To figure out what version of firmware you had you can run this command in fastboot
Fastboot getvar all

Flashing didn't work to boot into system, I was just getting stuck in the Recovery boot loop, it finally booted into system once I wiped my data(files, music, etc -option);
I did try factory reset, only once I cleared the partition, did the boot loop give way to boot into system;
It booted back to Android 11, but it's all glitchy: Boot taking too long, WiFi not switching on, Call not working, Data is working though- basically it's very screwed up, got a couple of errors too- it's like watching an amnesiac old person.. if you get the gist.
So, now I am considering a stable build from Oneplus support website as a local upgrade and booting back to that..
I am hard pressed for options, let me know if you think something else works better, thanks!

I guess msmtool it's the best way to restore your phone, remember that msmtool will re-lock your bootloader so if you want root you need to unlock your bootloader again.
Use msmtool and instructions form Here(there's an android 9 and android 10 for Global and Europe versions, use android 10)
