Oneplus Two - Solution for Hard Bricked Device

[mudith97]

it works like a charm

thank you so much, i was freaking out, but your solution helped me, and now it's working like a charm. Also, i used the same recovery, it had an option to choose both english as well as chinese, so even that was not an issue. earlier, i had first used the files and the links from the oneplus forum,it did not work then, but with these files, it did. Once again, thank you so much.

Dont worry. Unplug the usb cable and long press the power button for around 20 sec. Plug it again and press volume up until the computer find the device (the computer may find the device when you plug into it, but still press volume up until the computer find the device second time) open the Chinese program and press start. And your device should boot into oxygen os.

Never thanked you for that. Sorry it's so late.

Is there a way to get back into phone after being stuck in boot loop and not loose my data like pics and videos

I'm having the same loop problem after changed the broken touch/screen.
It shows initial logo and it goes to Fastboot Mode but when I try to enter in Recovery Mode (Vol. Down + On/Off) screen goes all black. Capacitive buttons (back an menu) respond though!

Any clue on how to unbrick it?

UPDATE: see the solution at the end

Guys, I need help :crying:

TL;DR current status: continuously bootloop with vibration, can access and recognize Fastboot, BL was relocked somehow

Before:
- unlocked BL
- was running AOSP Extended 4.0, Android 7.1.1
- TWRP 3.0.2.2

My dummy sin:
- such a beautiful day and I decided to flash a 9.0 ROM
- went to my twrp recovery and flashed a corrupted TWRP img (twrp-3.2.1-0-oneplus2.img)
=> could not access the recovery (of course), could boot to the system, I tried to install the correct twrp img, but it said Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: device is locked. Cannot flash images)

then I went to Developer settings > OEM Unlocking and that option was off, I turned it on
then went to the Fastboot mode and ran fastboot oem unlock, my phone automatically rebooted, now it was stuck at the 1+ bootscreen

it seems my BL was relocked because I didn't remove the pattern lock
> fastboot oem device-info
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device is_verified: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
(bootloader) console_locked: 1
(bootloader) exec_console_unconsole: 0
OKAY [ 0.074s]
Finished. Total time: 0.074s

Here I followed the guide in this thread:
- OP2 can power on itself from an alarm, so I can't turn it off completely, it keeps powering on itself, was really hard to boot into QUALCOMM-HS USB Diagnostics mode, but finally I did it (by keep holding power + volup)
- first time the program Qualcomm firehose started running for a few seconds then it exited itself
- then I replaced another recovery from the OP https://mega.nz/#!okl3DYqZ!lu5q0SGLyAMW_agUBoa8e6tgy5vdDDRVtwWLi8tD1qo, the program ran successfully (green alien texts)

Here my phone ran into continuous bootloops, if I press vol- power, I can see a small Linux penguin blinking, but still can access Fastboot mode

Now I'm stuck, 2 deadly errors in a row (didn't remove the screen lock before flashing a new ROM and flashed a corrupted TWRP img)

____________________________
ok, I unbricked my OP2, I'm sad because I can't upgrade to OP 6T..

to summarize my problem:
- I flashed a corrupted TWRP img, then BL was relocked
- When using Qualcomm tool to reflash the recovery, if you press Start button and it fails for any reason, open that program again and try again until the progress bar flashes some files to your phone and shows up a green status, your phone will restart, choose the first option to unlock the BL
- Then you can install OOS by booting to the recovery (H2O or OOS Idk exactly), choose Install from USB, sideload the .zip to install OOS (to charge your phone before flashing TWRP and other ROMs, in my case I can't boot to the system to charge my phone)
- At this step, you can flash the TWRP recovery and flash any custom ROMs

There's 2 tricks in my case:
- to go into the Qualcomm mode (something like "QUALCOMM-HS USB Diagnostics 9006"), keep pressing power + vol up, the screen will show nothing (black screen), keep your eyes on the Device Manager's tree: Ports)
- Qualcomm flash tool may show a red status, or exits itself, just open it again and press the Start button again.

Hi all,

ok, so finally I was able to fully recover my OP2 now.

Remember, I had the issue described: recovery completely broken, bootloader locked, Enable OEM option in developer options not available.
So, I was at a dead end. Phone working, but without recovery no chance to take backups, flash something etc.

So this is what I did now:
1) Downloaded the USB drivers linked in the OP (or from here:
https://mega.nz/#!mRgH0KJS!rCo7tgzXLUDQOUxXxtBpwPXk8Bw3JITbozZelmsKEPE )

2) Used my own, modified recovery tool (which has Hydrogen recovery built in instead of twrp, as twrp continued to be broken). Download my version from here:
https://mega.nz/#!uBYGHLJD!w-ByaqFeHuUrzJXPuDRXNu4HYcCBKqVAEe7W1xzrY8k

3) Powered off phone, plugged usb cable into PC

4) Pressed Vol+ and Power key until I got the mysterios QUALCOMM device as unknown device in windows device manager (just slightly named differently than in the OP)

5) installed the driver as described in the op

6) started the recovery tool as decribed in the op (my version) and flashed it

7) Phone restarted into OOS

8) I restarted the phone into recovery and voila - HydrogenOS recovery was back

9) I wiped data and cache in that recovery

10) I flashed OxygenOS 2.0.0 full version (around 1 GB size)

11) I flashed without reboot directly after the full version the OTA update of today (40MB size)

12) Rebooted and I had the "Enable OEM" switch in developer options, which I enabled

13) Went into fastboot mode and flashed TWRP

14) ... yes, the rest is as it was before, flashing SuperSu to root the phone etc.

Finally I am fully functional again. Horray.

Many thanks to @Zyxxeil who had the idea to try with HydrogenOS recovery instead of TWRP - which helped.

Hope this is helpful for you guys with the same problem.

Although I think the full recovery package should help much more easy in future.

Cheers and have a nice day

Hey guys. I've been googling all over and trying all solutions online including Lord Boeffla's instructions here but I am always stuck at one particular step.

Let me start with my current phone's condition :
1) Messed it up years ago so I forgot what happened. I'm just trying to revive it now.
2) No OS and everything is wiped including system and internal storage.
3) TWRP 3.1.1.0 installed and working
4) Able to go into fastboot by selecting reboot to fastboot in TWRP.

My main issue is no matter what I do, the device will not show up in device manager. I can't use ADB/fastboot commands because it's just not detecting the phone. All solutions online tells me to hold down the Vol + button and power button at the same time (I've also tried holding down Vol - and Vol + and Power at the same time) until my phone goes into Qualcomm Service mode and something pops up in Device Manage. Then all I would have to do is update that device with the correct driver. But in my case, my phone just shows black screen and nothing is detected in Device Manager. It still stays the same. I've tried showing hidden devices in Device Manager and also scanning for hardware changes. Nothing shows up. My phone just refuses to be detected. I've even tried multiple computers and different cables and different ports. All doesn't show anything.

So without any way to ADB/Fastboot or even detect my device, I can't transfer any files required to format or install any OS. I've even tried a thumbdrive with a Type-C connector but it doesn't show up in TWRP.

PLEASE HELP ME. I really need this phone up and running again but I've tried everything I could think of and more. If anyone knows what to do for my situation, please let me know. Thanks.
