Bricked OP2 after flashing Nexus Stock ROM - OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Bricked OP2 ...
Hi all
I bought the oneplus 2 4 days ago.
I rooted it, installed twrp and flashed nethunter2.0 CM12 then wiped cache , well the flash didn't go very successfully as the os still oxygen but i had all applications from nethunter installed and fully functional.
I decided to use the nethunter installer provided by the official site but not including the onplus2 version, i included the custom rom in replacement of the choosed one
.. but accidentally in the process of this tool it flashed stok for nexus which completely bricked the phone... nothing works, not boot no charge no sound...
I plugged again the phone and pressed for 20 seconds the power + volume up button and i got the bulk usb driver as it was a oneplus one .. i changed the driver settings to accept the unsigned drivers and updated the unkown device to the qualcomm 9008 ( as it was like a oneplus one ) .
The issue is that oneplus two has a Qualcomm MSM8994 Snapdragon 810 and the version i found for ColorOS is only for MSM8794 .. so i couldn't do anything
please can anyone help me?
any hint please?
Thank you in advance

If you flashed a ROM that's not for you're phone you're more than likely screwed

Could you try the following:
1, plug the phone back in recovery/fastboot mode
2, Open Computer Management and delete the drivers the OS finds for the phone
3, Download the ADB driver tool from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Try follow the steps and let me know if u get the drivers needed for the recovery
If the tool on the above link dont work, try this one: http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup.msi

Thank you for your response, the issue is that it's hard bricked, so no recovery mode no led , nothing ..
i uninstalled the drivers ( even that i had the adb working before ) and the device is detectable now only with as QHSUSB_BULK
the installation of any adb usb driver don't change anything, only qualcomm usb drivers work ( i have the 9008 only but i'm think it's not compatible with OP2) i could manually change it to adb ( mobistel Cynus f4 ADB interface ) but nothing new..
Help plz
thanks again

Two problems here. The first problem is that you didn't wipe properly when flashing Nethunter, that's why you ended up with Nethunter apps on your stock ROM. When flashing a ROM you must perform a full wipe, this consists of system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. This isn't what bricked your phone though. We know what bricked your phone; flashing a ROM for a completely different device. I'm not sure why you would flash a ROM from another device, maybe due to inexperience, but that's the last thing you should be doing, as you now know. Don't use the recovery tool that you have, it isn't for your chipset, it will only make matters worse. I honestly don't think there's any way to revive your device, you've pretty much rendered it useless. I'd strongly suggest you do a lot of research before deciding to mess with another phone, if you don't know what you're doing then don't do it. Venturing into unknown lands like this only ever ends in disaster.

Thanks for your response.
I made a full wipe with Twrp ( as mentionned in your tutorial ) and al steps run without issues.
The issue is that the next day i used the nethunter install tool instead of manually installing, in the steps for one plus one ( not oneplus 2) i mentionned the specific rom which can run on the phone but suddenly when i pushed next it was flashing stock for nexus ( and yes it's in the steps of oneplus1 :/ i verified ) , well i know that it's inadmissible and can brick it seriously
now i have the bulkusb when linked to windows8 and pressing on poweron+volumeup, what do you recommend please? there is no compatible driver for snapdragon 810?flashing to colorOS won't solve the issue please?
Thanks in advance

Well flashing ColorOS using the tool you have will attempt to flash ColorOS for the OnePlus One, because that tool is not for your device. As I said, don't use it, it's not for your device so it will only do more harm. I don't know if there's a recovery tool for the Two yet, I certainly haven't seen one.

I just can say, your device is not hard bricked and will be recoverable.
You just need to be a bit patient. For the OPO, there was the ColorOs emergency recovery available (which helped me already 2x unbricking my OPO after I compiled a faulty kernel).
I just have not yet seen something similar for the OP2. But as you get the bulk_device still recognized via USB, this means the Qualcomm emergency boot loader is still intact and once the recovery stuff leaks somewhere, you will be able to fully recover your OP2.
Don't ask me when this will be available, think it also took weeks for the OPO before it was posted somewhere.
All the best!

You can try this (but with oxygenos), but I'm not sure if it works with OP2 snapdragon 810

EDIT: It seems you will need fastboot image of oxygenos and list of partitions ... anyway, good luck

It probably isn't the smartest idea in the world to recommend using a recovery tool from for an entirely different device unless you're 100% sure it's safe, which it probably isn't.

It's Qualcomm tool, but sadly OP2 is new device and there are no guides specific to OP2. He probably can resurrect his phone using QHSUSB_BULK device(*1)
EDIT: (*1) - It depends on correct driver and firmware files (images)

Yes, I'm aware that there is nothing specific available for the OP2. My point is that you're not even sure if this isn't going to damage the device further, let alone even help in any way.

His device is almost dead and this kind of damage is not covered by warranty. I think in this situation is not much to lose

Just to assure you that the hard brick issue on OPT is completely curable since I've revived two OPTs. No panic needed. I will update the complete procedure as well as the necessary files later today.

His device is not almost dead, it's in a bricked "like" state right now but it can be easily fixed with the correct tool. What you're suggesting is not the correct tool for this device at all. If you're comfortable with being so reckless with someone else's device, good for you, I'm certainly not.

I know you were trying to help, but that advice is the wrong advice. I don't want/need to delete your post. My point here is to try to help you to understand why giving advice when you're not 100% understanding the situation properly isn't a great idea. On a site like this, accuracy and knowledge are paramount because it can be the difference between helping someone revive their device or completely killing it.

From this point I agree it was wrong advice.
I hope I never will be in situation like this But if, I will try to fix it based on what I suggest him + hours of google for correct files, correct drivers and correct download tool. I think this "misunderstood" was based on my advice like "here is direction and google for more", this is forum if he can find answer himself (google) he need not to ask for help here

OnePlus just hard-bricked my device and don't give a ____.

Hello xda members, yes you heard right, OnePlus bricked my device, did you had a problem with the OnePlus support too?
Here's a sum up what happened:
> I buyed the one in january 2015
> batterylife on Cyanogen OS was terrible, so I switched like many other users to custom roms
> the batterylife was better, but not good not bad, normal
> many users are saying that Oxygen OS has amazing battery life
> so i searched and found out that there isn't an official flashable version, i found out that the support flash it by every user manually with a remote session
> so i contacted the support, made a meeting
> the support was nice, but then...
> 12pm (est) on monday 28.03.16
> the remote session started, there standed that it will get recorded on my windows vista pc(does anyone know where? i dont find it, but i have the chat between me and the tecnicer, see the attached file
> the technicer installed drivers and flashed afaik per adb, but it dont found my device, he did something with drivers and said i need to reboot my pc
> i did it
> still dont work
> my phone was ok
> so he used a chinese tool
> then he wrote he's very sorry and that my device has a hardware issue and that he will send me to their RMA/RRR(he wrote both, its afaik the devicechange support)
> I was sad looked to my phone: dead, hardbrick, idk how, he just hardbricked it, but ok its not full dead just hardbrick, its able to fix(i found athread on xda, but the problem is that my device got bricked by flashing oxygen OS, so I think I need to give my device to the support, they need to fix what they did)
>I was only sad, not angry, he did his best, so i waited for an email from the support
> I got one with my adress and they asked if its true
> it's #sotrue
> after 2 days i still didn't got an email, so i am now angry af
> many of you are thinking now 'just chill dude they are humans too and you are not the only one which need the device change support, but guys, you need to know that this guys which need the support to droped for example their device in water and want that 1+ fix it, but i didnt dropped it and didnt bricked it, so oneplus need to care about me, its their fault, but they still dont answered after 2 days, guys i need my device, they know that i am angry because they bricked my device, ok 12 hours before i get an answer is ok they are humans too, but not 2 damn days, they bricked my device, not I.
I dont wanna hate against oneplus, i just write this because i am very angry that THEY bricked my device and don't give a ****, that's not a good support!!
so please dont remove this thread admins, if something is not ok contact me i will edit it
Had you guys a problem with the support too? Write it and vote in the survey!
I'm sorry that you are unhappy with the phone.
I'm own of the same device since rough about the same date like you.
First of all I've install an own recovery menu (TRWin) and use uo from this time CM 5 / 5.1 and now 6.x
I couldn't say that I've the same problems like you. The battery life is independent of the OS and which apps are are used. At minimum the akku reached for 3 day's or more( look how much % does you display used).
In the case that I'll have your issue : boot into the recovery at make a wipe of = cache / Dalvik cache and data ( factory reset). After that reinstall your apps fresh from the market.
Also install Aps Ops to control the access of the apk's. If a Apk check every. 5 Min something of an update, the battery drains... thats normal.

Sorry bro i already tried everything, bbs(there were gservice wakelocks which cant get killed, i installed other roms there were again other wakelocks and more), elixier 2, gsam, this what you said that if a app drains every 5 minutes and more, at least the batterylife was normal. At least only 3 hours on screen time. Thats the reason why i wanted to try out oxygen os.
In this moment I use the TRWin Recovery ( wipe Cache / Dalvik / Data) ; CM 13 ( Android 6.0) and Google Apk ( not the big one / Small or medium packages) for marshmallow.
I've ~ 170 Apps on the phone - without any issues ( ok, the batteryife was a little bit better with 5.0, but that's all ( here the compare is not 100%, because more Apps : but at the beginning the phone was running around 6-7 day's)
Does the PC see something, if you connect the Phone via USB?
If yes, you can bring it back to life

Hi, yes, i already tested it, its a hardbrick and the pc detect it.

I am thinking about to fix it self, but then i wont have Oxygen OS because i think it will do again a full brick. But i need my phone on monday because i am then 3 weeks on a work placement and need my phone. :/
If your PC see an unknown Device, the phone is ot hardbricked. Its a hard Softbrick
If I remember right, you will find a link in the Oneplus forum for the needed driber. With this one, you can bring back your phone to life. A recovery menu is in a normal case enough.
( like Twrp (that's tbe right name )

Yep, if you connect the OPO to a PC is it recognized something like "Qualcomm device"? If it is, this tool is for you. Once you have the tool opened and the phone connected to the PC, press Volume up + Power, the phone should vibrate and then it should appear under Device Manager. Here's additional information of this process, found on the OPT thread:
qwsdert4 said:
First step, turn off drive signature enforcement in windows 8/8.1/10. Tutorial Here
Second step, hold the power key for 20 seconds to force turn off power. connect OPT to usb, hold volume+ and power until your PC finds a new hardware (if it doesn't work, try hold volume+ and volume- together)
Third step, go to device manager in your PC, find the new "QUALCOMM-HS USB Diagnostics 9006" device. Update its driver in property page using the Qualcomm driver provided (for 32bit windows, select x86 folder; for 64bit windows, select x64 folder).
Fourth step, when the driver is installed properly, run MSM8994DownloadTool.exe in the recover tools folder, using admin privileges . Clear start in top left corner and wait for it to finish.

Second note about drivers if that I had the worst time trying to get things to work on my Windows 7 computers. Both Windows 7 and 8 block unsigned driver installations. I've tried overwriting these settings and spent half a day messing with it, and I never go the next steps to work properly. I ended up trying installing the drivers from Setup.exe and the following steps on my Windows 2003 server and things worked properly first time. I am not saying that you won't get this to work on Window 7 or 8, but if you're having troubles try Windows XP, that might make a difference.
I also deactivate unsigned driver installation but still same fail... I found a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 2.1.0.5 for Windows 7 that I used. I opened the Device Manager, I found my device named QHSUSB_BULK with an yellow triangle. I pressed udate drivers , choose from computer and installed that Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 2.1.0.5 I donwloaded. AFTER THAT the tool found my phone and I was manage to flash ROM took me half a day. I cant have done wrong , somethnig must be wrong with the drivers in the tool for w7 64bit or something . this was the first time I have hard bricked a phone EVER and I have flashed a lot . But im glad it worked out with that Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 driver since that guy also had same problem as me and later got it to work with that driver. Qualcomm HS-USB Drivers

Hope this helps man. Greetings!
EDIT: just noticed I linked the same as @Hellfireworks, disregard. Hope you get it fixed up.
This tool had been out for the one plus one specifically for the longest time. I wouldn't use the one plus two tool because it is for the op two.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2991851
I haven't had to use this myself, but others have, and the forum is full of success stories. I have however fixed my buddies one plus two via an unbrick tool, and was almost the exact same process.
This tool has the proper firmware specifically for the one plus one, hence why i recommend it over the op two tool.

HardBricked OP5, plz help! :(

Hi, guys.
Today, my OP5 decided to troll me. I was using normally him, when suddenly it started to lags pretty bad. I restarted and he continued to lags and freeze. I made a wipe cache via stock recovery (i didnt made any change at all in it, no unlocked bootloader, no root). That's when my nightmare begins. It begins to bootloop. Sometimes i was able to start the boot animation, but then it just restarts to the beginning. I tried a lot of tips, wiping cache, system, etc. Then, i left it charging. When i tried to turn on again, it worked like nothing ever happened to him. I made a backup of my personal data fast, scared to him suddenly restart again. After that, i decided to made a Factory Reset, clean up everything. When i did it, he started the lag and freezes again. I was at lost. That's was when i decided to use the official unbrick tool, to make the cleanest OP5 ever possible. I grabbed the archives from this link and followed this tutorial. When i was executing the programa, in the userdate.img, he showed a error. When i saw it, i just stopped and closed the program. Now, my OP5 is hardbricked. The only sign of life that i get from him is when i connect him at the PC. I can identify it as qualcoom 9008, but when i try to run the program, he just fail and show me error 258.
Plz, i need some orientations. I have been read things for about 10 hours and didnt found a solution. I live abroad for any oneplus tech center, and i believe, for the other posts that i read, that online tech support wouldn't help me a lot. I really don't like to make this kind of post but i am kind of desesperate. I dont have money to afford another phone
Again, sry to disturb you all. Sry if i broke some rule of the forum too. And sry for my bad english, i hope that i was able to communicate right.
EDIT: I just tried in another computer. Same error appears. :'(
Hummm why follow a Unbrick Topic with tools for ...3T ?
Maybe you have a encryption problem, all your Tools/Topic are so old for the actual versions (Oreo 8.X OOS / 8.1 OOS)
I advise to you (in the first time), to flash this TWRP (using fastboot, very simple) just follow this guide : here
If you can flash TWRP, your phone is not bricked, you will boot in TWRP:
- Format Data > tape "yes" > Reboot in TWRP
- Copy/Past xXx 10.0 ROM to test, install and xXx Rom will fix/install for you the best OOS Custom ROM for your OP5 with a great Aroma Installer.
If TWRP with this rom work perfectly, you wil able to restore a official stock OOS for sure, just flash original/stock recovery (fastboot), wipe all data/partitions, install your OOS rom and it's fine
I think @cidsantiago says they bootloader isn't unlocked.
He needs to know that unlock the bootloader implies lost all /sdcard data and also installed apps and settings) before start the TWRP install process...

I used the tools for 5. Just the procedure that i get from this topic. :T I am gonna try the method that you gave me now brb.
EDIT: Just tried this. My cellphone cant be recognized in fastboot devices. As a said, i am not getting any response for him, just when i plug it in the PC. So i wasn't able to unlock bootload or anything like that. I tried just to plug it and see if fastboot was able to identifying it, but it wasn't.

Wipe your device data from the stock recovery.

I can't access recovery anymore, as i said. The only sign of life that i get is when i connect it in the PC.
I guess i have to do something to restore the basics partitions of my cellphone. Like recovery, boot, etc. But i just have the official tool to do that. There is another way? Like transfering directly by the COM port?

I had the same exact problem with my old One plus One. Spent like 4 days trying to unbrick it. That msm tool did the fix for me. Also, in that link to the guide you provided, doesn't it flash the Chinese version of the OS? If that's the case, I don't think it was a good idea to do so lol

In one of the links, it had the OOS and the HOS. I tried to use the msm tool in one of them, but it didnt worked I'm gonna try the archives in this link that you gave me. It may work brb with updates.
Don't worry though, it happens to plenty of people. It happened to me as well, and everyone eventually fixes it. It is unlikely that it is a hardware problem, so just following the correct steps should get it working. Keep trying stuff out, it's very good that your computer recognizes it as a qualcomm port, as far as I know that's all you need to flash the necessary things in order for it to boot.
I am getting the same error 258 in this post. :T I posted there to see if the OP can help me. But thx for your help @Mash1ro

But don't use the same files and all that stuff, since that's for the 3T. Try to pick out the things that might help but use the files for the OnePlus 5 only
After try the unbrick procedure in 3 different PCs, using about 10 different USB ports, i still getting the same error in the same step. When downloading cache.img, he stuck in about mid bar, and shows me the warning: SendProgramCommand Failed, Error: 258". Besides that, he turns on the green led and stop being recognize by the PC. Then i have to hold power and turn off the green led. :T Maybe i can use a linux to access the partitions?

yeah... But it is kind of weird. He was running smoothly, until suddenly started lag and freeze. He didn't fall or any of that... I think is just a defective phone. Doesn't find another explanation to that.
I think your best option is to RMA the device through OnePlus. Since you haven't rooted it or anything, they should repair it for you.

Need help to go back to stock 11.0.2.2IN11AA

I'm not seeming to find coherent instructions to get back to stock 11.0.2.2IN11AA
I have the 8 Pro, rooted, newest magisk and I installed a magisk module that is now causing System UI crash at startup. I have tried a couple things: 1) tried the "adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules" --> nothing happens when starting back up except System UI error. 2) I've flashed back to stock boot.img (hoping to get to safe mode to disable magisk)...all I get is System UI error again.
So...what I want to do is start all over and end up with 11.0.2.2IN11AA rooted. Once I'm back to "factory" I'm pretty sure I can get back to magisk and root.
Can anyone help me with some decent instructions please?
Thanks
I can. So last week I managed go back from a rooted situation to stock rom with LOCKED bootloader. This means that you're phone will be as you bought it and you're gonna lose everything of course.
This video on YT helped me.

Yes, it's all true. Sorry for that i have now working for many days on this. Not sleeping enought. One more question that could bring me a step foward...
I was on IN11.0.2.2 before i locked the bootloader and bricked the device.
Now i downladed the Decrypted OxygenOS 11.0.0 IN21BA Version. I have now the error: Param Preload Device not match image. Question: Must i habe the Decrypted OxygenOS 11.0..2.2 IN21BA Version that it goes to work?
I can't the use the link for the right version, it is password protected.!

Thank you, but I didn't find it.
One point I have forgotten to tell. Before the hard brick happened, I used Magistik and Patch a new boot.img then I flashed this with fastboot command. My failure was to make this 2. times. with different patches. The horrible thing is now that I must delete these files on my Laptop to get more space. When this the Problem of the MSMTOOL error is I had not really a chance to unbrick my device. Have anyone Downgrade with MSMTOOL the Stock Rom?
Thx for your help. I download now from OP the latest ROM. I will try it. I feel really scared. Maybe my device is not unbricked anymore.
The other Tool that I have (last chance) is the original Qualcomm flashing Tool QPST.

None of that matters.
1st identify your device!
What region is it?
If you have BA then don't flash AA you'll mess things up.
2nd visit the MSM thread!
Download the tool 'for your device!'
3rd boot to EDL (I responded to you in the romaur thread how to do this)
4th as soon as it's connected to your pc in edl, flash the device
5th MSM will relock your bootloader.
6th don't do something if you're not sure, just ask.
Oh and lol chill on the swearing also on posting everywhere, just make 1 thread and stick with it, people will help
Hey, my Phone is working like a charm. Thx for the great work !!!. I'm so happy !!!
It is better to come here to real developers, I had to get bad download links and bad Software! This was the only problem. For many years I have the first Samsung Galaxy and I'm knowing that I can get all the problems for not booting devices back. But I was scared that many Devices like Huwai bring their bootloaders with cryptographic methods in a safe trunk.
Best wishes to you, and the people that I'm working for the android project!

OnePlus 8 Pro refuses to install TWRP. Qualcomm Crash Dumps every time. Any advice?

I want to install TWRP as my recovery I've tried at least four different versions that are listed here and a few others from other links:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...p-for-oneplus-8-8-pro-unified-stable.4101313/
I'm not having driver issues anymore so I'm working with adb and fastboot fine. All commands are going through fine and I've tried flashing to recovery_a and recovery_b. Factory resetting doesn't resolve the issue. Every walkthrough I find I get to says flash then boot to TWRP but every time I flash it qualcomm dumps and every time I boot to it it qualcomm dumps.
Is there something corrupted in my recovery I need to wipe somehow? If so how do I wipe it because the only command I found online that would run was fastboot -w and that didn't fix the issue either.
Honestly really annoying at this. This is my 4th OnePlus phone and I've never had so many issues flashing it.
Edit:
I have also tried to do whatever steps are needed to go back to base stock and OS and it doesn't seem to work either. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit 2:
I did it. For anyone who finds this thread in the future the MSM tool did finally work. This is the video I used in the end
(I muted it.) and the first few starts it failed. I went into the properties of the MSM exe and under compatibility checked ran as admin. I also did install the qualcomm driver at some point way before this so not sure if that helped. The MSM tool still didn't work until I started it, turned my phone off, held both volume buttons (not the power) while plugging the phone in. All the stuff online I saw had people starting the program at this point but mine had started already and was in a "waiting for device" state when it worked.
What a lifesaver. Won't be messing around with this again until TWRP is available.
Because you are unable to flash phone's Stock ROM take phone to authorized service center and let them fix it.
Flash stock recovery. TWRP is but compatible with OOS11 for 8/Pro.

I have had so much trouble figuring that out too. Do you have a good link for that? I can't find an easy way to do it. I've seen people recommend the msmdownloadtool but every time I use it it doesn't pick up my phone.
I've settled with Lineage OS and Gapps until I figure out more.

The same way to flashed TWRP.
fastboot flash recovery recovery_a and _b.
In the future, you should not flash both slots, just flash without specifying _a or _b.
Recovery image can be obtained here;
Android Dumps / oneplus / oneplus8pro · GitLab
GitLab Enterprise Edition
dumps.tadiphone.dev
Although i am not sure which OOS version you use, so you might have to change branch

I hate to be this much of a noob about it but I see a recovery file listed in the link you sent. Is that the recovery I flash? And if so after flashing is this branch also a stock rom? I've been trying for a while now just to get back to the basic oxygen that comes with the phone but it's been a nightmare for me and it feels like no resource I find fully explains it.

If you want OOS back / new start, best way is really to use MSM. Haven't really used it, so can't help you much. There are tutorials online / YouTube though

It is very sensitive to which USB port you use. For some people only USB2.0 works, for me USB3 works fine as long as it's chipset USB3. The second ASMedia controller doesn't work.
Also, use original cable, and switch off the phone completely, get MSM to the point it's waiting for device so start the download before connecting phone, then while holding the volume keys connect the USB cable and it should instantly start flashing.

Somebody Could Save My Nokia-6(TA-1021) Please?!

I flashed in an incorrect firmware on my Nokia 6 and it now goes into a mode where it boots properly (MIUI) but the screen doesn't work properly (the drivers don't correspond at all), I was able to go into 900E mode properly before but now I can only go into the system.
I have tried brushing in the bottom by shorting the data cable (how the engineering cable works) but it does nothing, it still boots into the system normally.
Is there anything else I can do to save it now?
I used a translator, some words may be a bit strange sorry ....
But thank you for taking the time to help me out!
MydeviceInfo:
Nokia 6 (TA-1021)
NowUI: a MIUI for a xiaomi device that used the same CPU
Hey, so you tried to flash a rom that only has the same CPU? If i remember correctly there are somewhere on the internet tools to recover your Nokia device, although i can't remember how they are called, if i have the time i can look it up and provide them here. Once needed them for myself to recover my device.
