Probably soft bricked my OP5, is this fixable?

[len.asdf]

Dear XDA,

I screwed up... I think my device is now soft bricked.... :crying:

It all started good on a sunny saturday. I thought this was a good day to try another custom rom. Namely Codename Phoenix.

My device was already rooted so i started with upgrading my TWRP to the latest Blu_Spark TWRP 3.2.1. After flashing the recovery i continued with the ROM. It all went downhill from there....
The install finished and i booted my device. Knowing this could take a while i got into the shower thinking it would finish when i got back. But when i got back it was still booting. Knowing the first boot can take a while so I let it be. After an hour or so it was still stuck on the google logo and the weather and my mood changed for the worse.
I figured something in the process went wrong and tried to boot into recovery. That worked so I thought 'Cool, let's fix it there'. But the recovery was encrypted so i couldn't get to my data. Normally you put in your pincode and it decrypts your phone. This was not the case.... I couldn't put in my pincode so decrypting was out of the question.
Luckily ADB was still working so I downloaded the original Oxygen OS rom and tried to side-load it... This got stuck on 47% for no reason at all. Phone had 100% battery and didn't time-out..

I was really confused, but I let the device do it's thing and maybe things would work out... I was wrong. Everything was worse. Because i tried installing the original firmware it removed the custom recovery....

So now i have a device with no OS and I can't get into recovery. Luckily there is a unbrick tool for OnePlus 5. Following those steps i got stuck on the part that it does not show in my device-manager.

Currently i'm really grumpy and have no idea how to fix this.

I humbly ask for advice. Is this solvable or do i have a wasted OnePlus 5?

Thanks in advance,

Lennard

can you reboot to bootloader?
if yes, you can flash original or custom recovery...

Don't worry! Your device is safe. At most, you'll be required to wipe your data.

Try using the official twrp recovery here:
https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplus5.html

If this doesn't work, let me know.

I can go into fastboot and managed to install TWRP with the comment below!

Thanks for these words! That's a big relieve

With your link I managed to install TWRP through fastboot. So now i have a custom recovery. The current problem is that my data is encrypted and I cannot decrypt it. There is no option to fill in a password since there is no OS that requires a password. So it's sort of a neverending cycle . Although fastboot, recovery and sideload should work now.

The thing is, previously I tried installing the original firmware and that failed at 47%. So i'm not sure what to do now.

I tried installing 'codeworkx universal twrp 3.2.1-0 recovery' since he seems to have fixed the encrypt issue. But when I tried sideloading the file it says "Zip file is corrupt!". So no succes there yet.
To be precise, this is the threat for Codeworkx Universal TWRP : https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-oxygenos-5-0-t3725723
And i downloaded and tried installing: twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img

I was thinking about downloading the latest Codename Phoenix ROM, but when I try to download the latest release the file is name "Codename-Phoenix-NOS-8.1-oneplus5t-20180303.zip". That implies it's only for the 5t and not for the 5. So that could be my original problem? That i downloaded the wrong ROM?

That aside.

Should I try to get the download link for CNP and download the latest release for the OP5 and install that.

Or

Should i try to install the original firmware. Reset everything and start over from the beginning (unlocking, rooting, etc..)

Thanks again for all the help

Nice to hear that!

To be clear, does the TWRP decrypt you data? When you click install in TWRP, is it a bunch of randomly named files?

I think you should go ahead with installing CNP, you shouldn't have any problems with it now that you've got the correct version.

Good luck!

Yeah it's a bunch of random file names. Like "2TAjnCI8CpHDL38Oh684DuTSgaO".

Alright, i'll let you know if I succeed. Thanks for the help

Wait! Staying encrypted is a bunch of trouble. I recommend u to follow these steps:
Go to recovery
Select wipe
Select advanced wipe
Clear dalvik and cache
Go back
Select wipe
Click "Format Data"
Type in yes
Go back
Select wipe
Swipe to factory reset
Reboot recovery
Transfer the ROM from PC to phone
Install it

Haha thanks! Just in time. Was still downloading the latest CNP .

Whew! Update me after flashing.

Hmm, the installation should be a succes. But when i tried to reboot and start up the OS / System it just reboots into TWRP.... ? It's sort of boot looping into recovery.

I tried installing a couple of times with and without wiping dalvik/cache/system.

Could the install file not be complete?

On a side note, my data is not encrypted

Did you factory reset by going into wipe>swipe to factory reset?
If not then do that and flash it

But of course! Already did that. But i'm not sure if it shows or not. Tried clicking multiple times on the thanks button but it doesn't highlight. It should do that right?
