Could someone please offer some advice, i really am stumped on this one. I have a nexus 4 which is rooted has an unlocked bootloader and is running on the stock version of kitkat. Last week i changed network and as bizarre as it sounds when i got disconnected from three my phone bricked and got stuck on the boot logo.
Since then i went home and got the skipsoft toolkit up and running to essentially put a fresh rom on. Unfortunately no luck, i have gone into the bootloader and recovery,factory/wipe reset -- still no luck it's stuck on the boot logo. Now i realised that adb isn't working only fastboot which has also limited my options. i have tried multiple version of roms/recoverys etc.. they install which confirmed by the change of boot logo but that's it just hangs again.
Is there something else i can try? I would really appreciate some direction on it. Thanks very much in advanced.

What do you mean you changed network? What recovery are you using twrp or cwm hope it's twrp I think you need to search forums for wugfresh tool kit and start fresh which means going back to stock rom, recovery etc.. Wugfresh toolkit is the easiest method for you and even has videos on YouTube for step by step instructions you can't go wrong be patient and pay attention and you will be OK..www.wugfresh.com/youtube

I meant literally that i changed network from three to ee, which i also brought my original number over with it. The day my number transfered to ee my phone bricked and it's been stuck on boot loop since.
I have never used wugfresh before but i followed your instructions and spent sometime with it this morning. It's a very simple piece of software and i must admit i was feeling hopeful it might have fixed my boot-loop issue, but it hasn't. I have done factorywipes/wiped cache, flashed multiple version roms. As far as recovery i had TWRP running on my device, but for some reason i am no longer able to go into it only the bootloader. When i do click on recovery i got the android on its back with the exclamation mark, which obviously gives me the wipe options which i have done.
If there is anything else you can think of i would be greatly appreciative.

I really have no clue what changing network to ee is did you not create a backup if so you could restore it but since you can't once you get in bootloader and scroll to recovery you get dead android use to toolkit I told you and flash stock+unroot option it should work

If not pm me try to help you figure it out
I am very grateful you taking the time to help me with the boot issue. But i have actually just managed to sort it, finally!
It came down to me changing to an older radio version for 4.4.4., then i installed a 4.3 rom which it worked! I then upgraded to 5.01 and hey presto it's back to normal.
Thanks again nexus root tool-kit is definitely an essential

Your welcome glad I could help we all been in some situation before since you back up and running don't forget to make a backup of current rom always good idea to have that handy in case.. Cheers...
I left my phone charging and came back to get it. It was stuck on the google logo, I am able to boot into recovery but it says No Installed.
Is their anything else I can do other than flash it again.
I was thinking maybe the wrong partititon was checked, but everything looks fine.

Assuming that the ROM is still there, you can dirty flash the ROM zip over it, and see if it works. There's no harm in trying that.
But "No OS Installed" simply means that your /system or /boot parition are not detected (means, they are empty). Now of course, the last resort is to flash the ROM all over again.

You need to provide more information. Are you on the stock ROM or a custom ROM? Stock recovery or TWRP? Had you made any changes to the device recently?
Someone please help. I just rooted my 6P. Did a little bit of doing. Phone would never boot just the round circles. So went into TWRP and tried to wipe to start fresh, not it says no OS installed. I have no ROMS's on the phone. No boot images. Been a while since I've done this. Really need help on this one. Thanks.
Download the dp3 , boot into bootloader, connect to PC run installer script after you unzip the factory image " flash all" sit back and wait for phone to reboot.

It's that simple.
Hey thanks a lot. Couple things, and I apologize in advance for not knowing this already.
1) what's dp3
2) how do I run installer script?
I know I shift right click and open a cmd window within fastest - where I'll unzip the file - and I know how to get the phone into Bootloader.
Again, sorry for asking for simple explanations.

Download any ROM ( like pure Nexus) and gapps
You can use USB otg to flash the ROM using twrp or transfer the ROM file from your PC to your phone in twrp (it supports mtp)
Simply flash ROM and gapps and viola
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Labs
Ok, I'm gonna tackle this tomorrow. Any recommendations on a good ROM and Kernel (Verizon). I made nice donations long ago to Franco and ROM Manager.
Thank again, everyone!

Download the required ROM and gapps, connect your phone to pc , type in google, Mini adb and fastboot, a page on XDA itself will come, download it, its small and install.
Then copy the ROM and gapps package to the location of the installation of the application.
Now open your recovery and tap on adb sideload, and swipe(twrp)
Go to your PC, open adb application a cmd will appear, type adb devices, it will start a daemon then will give you your device number, a number should appear. Then type
Adb sideload """"name of your ROM package""".zip
It will start installing, wait for few minutes.
Do the same for gapps
Adb sideload " name of gapps package ".zip
Then reboot
Its fixed

Why are you telling him to install the Developer Preview? He wouldn't want that unless he's actually asking for it, which he isn't.

Developer preview 3 is a Android N preview and it is very fluid, battery life is good on stock and reason I recommend this because it is simple to do, gives you good options within the ROM and is good overall but that's just my opinion.

Lol. Maybe you missed the title under my name.
The dev preview isn't what he asked for, it isn't an easy solution, it isn't easy to come back from if he doesn't like it, it isn't even remotely what he needs. What he's looking for is a simple way to get his phone booted up and working again (a very simple request), and what you're suggesting is he install a beta OS (a complicated "solution").
If you really have a problem with a moderator requesting that a member posts in one place at a time (as per our rules), then I'm gobsmacked. If you'd care to look at the advice I gave him in the guide thread where he also posted you'd notice that I gave two solutions that:
A) Actually address the simplicity of his problem.
B) Give two simple, easy to execute, solutions that are the most common solutions you'll ever see anyone give a member in his situation. Solutions that don't involve having to install a developer preview that he never asked for.
I get that you're trying to help him, but the "solution" you provided him isn't right for his situation at all. There was no need to become defensive and aggressive when this was pointed out.

I'm copying files over to my Nexus now using MTP from TWRP. Can't I just copy evrything over and flash that way? Man, this seems so much more complicated than back in the day. Thanks.

If anybody can put up a step-by-step guide, or a video that shows how to properly install it all, I'm sure myself, and much of the community would appreciate it.
Recently, my laptop that I had ADB, and every tool imaginable for Androids, and specifically the Galaxy Series, took a huge dump on me and I lost it all. I installed it so long ago, that embarrassingly I've forgotten how I did it all. If someone could post how they rooted their GS7 (non-edge variant), I would be very appreciative. And I'm sure much of the community would be too. I'm embarrassed to even have to ask as someone who used to formerly develop mods on phones. But it is what it is. It's been so long since I've set it all up, and I've had to do so much since that time that I've simply forgotten how I did it/how to do it. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you ahead of time...
I've tried following the instructions in the sticky above. I ran the 930X ROOT.TAR in the special version of ODIN. And every ran OK. It said "Success" and then rebooted. All seemed well, then it froze on the AT&T Boot Logo. What can I do from here? I know from history that this is one of the points that people panic and claimed "brick" (though I've never seen a real brick from rooting). Any help would be greatly appreciated
There's a great guide in the Verizon forum. Root was universal based on FW. Just make sure you flash the correct 930 or 935 with the modded odin. I recommend you follow the steps to "unroot" for the sake of doing an extremely in depth factory reset. Also make sure you get chain fires latest supersu built for the s7qc.

thank you for that. I'll check it out. Hopefully it'll get me past this bootscreen issue
yup. Great instructions. All set rooted now. Now time to play with xposed and V4A and the like. Yay
OK. Followed the instructions on the Verizon page and used the PrinceComsy version. Stuck at the AT&T logo. How did you go past this step? Should I have used the standard version? thanks

(keep in mind this is only my personal experience...)
but the PrinceComsy version of ODIN was the only one to work for me. How far exactly have you gotten in the process before you got stuck at the logo? You do have ADB installed correctly installed on your PC and turned on on your phone right? and cd-ed the specific "super" folder for the SU adb install, right? FYI: It's not a simple root process, like 1-click roots on previous devices. This is more similar to the in-depth root methods like on the N1 and D1 before super nice devs went out of their way to make it simple. So if you're not familiar with ADB shell and the likes, it'll be difficult for you. But, no matter how high and mighty or condescending people act, we've all had to start somewhere. I'll help you get through the process as much as I can
Thanks for your reply. BTW I am fairly experienced in this stuff. This is what I did to get it to work. ADB and drivers all work fine.
Flashed the boot image using the PrinceComsy version. Got stuck at AT&T logo
Attempted to flash with the other version of Odin. When I open Odin, a window would pop-up with some ini issue and Odin would close immediately.
So I moved the ini file from PrinceComsy version to the other version. At this point, Odin would open and detect the phone at the correct COM port
Tried flashing it with this Odin but I got a SHA256 error
SO..
I went back to stock (which deletes all data, no big deal - everything was backed up)
Boot was successful
Re-flashed with the boot image and viola!

OK. Proceeding with the recommended steps in the install guide, I ran into this one nagging pop-up:

Its a rather annoying notice that keeps popping up. What is the fix for this? Quick 'google' suggested some people uninstalling Knox altogether and it seemed fairly drastic. Suggestions?

Thanks for the ping. I think so. One thing I ran into which I don't know if its related to rooting. When I am in a phone conversation, audio on the other end goes in and out after a few minutes into the call. This happens with bluetooth or not. Still figuring out this issue.

Seeing battery drain. So went back to stock /unroot for now.
I was not trying to root my phone but reflash to an earlier version. I tried the Prince version of Odin and it did not work. The version that ended up working is in this thread

So basically I am not smart and factory reset my phone in settings. The bootloader was unlocked and rooted. First phone I have ever rooted and this is all just a lot of information to take in. Trying to read and look into my problem but nothing I am trying is working.
When I turn my phone on it goes immediately into TWRP. When TWRP came up I wiped the data, cache, and dalvik. Not sure what all I have tried but I can't figure anything out. I am assuming I need to flash a stock ROM back onto my phone? Not sure how to do that. I have a stock rom downloaded. When I try to flash it just says 'waiting for device'. It is plugged in but I am assuming USB debugging is not turned on which is why it doesn't locate it?
Not really sure if my assumptions are correct but I am failing horribly here and would love if someone could explain this to me step by step like I am a cave person. Would even be willing to paypal someone $5 if that kind of thing is allowed for help. Thanks for helping a moron out.

Pretty sure I was just stock rooted. How would I go about doing that? Like I said, I have a stock rom downloaded on my PC. Tried to flash it but all I get is 'waiting for device' in the cmd window after directing it towards the zip file.
Also as I said, trying to learn and absorb as much info as I can here, never done this before so I am a little slow. =/
just tried using THIS method but when I plug my phone in it is not recognized in RSD Lite. I keep reading I need USB debugging on. I can't turn it on from recovery screen, no? Is there anything I can do?

Boot to twrp and flash a custom rom zip like lineage os. Or a modified stock rom like stoneware
Yes, wiped phone, put stoneware on my phone, booted to twrp, installed stoneware, reboot, back to twrp. I have to be doing something wrong but I don't know what it is. I have tried doing this with multiple different ROMs, flashing in TWRP.

I had this issue when I did (like a idiot) a Ota update. Only fix I got was running g5 plus tool kit and flashing stock Rom though it by following instructions on the program..
Factory reset shouldn't have caused this issue.. Unless you formated your data in twrp.. But if the boot is altered or damaged and you just put a custom Rom on top I think you might find you won't have a baseband (no mobile network).. The original stock Rom is available via links in the windows toolkit 1.6 gig
Go into fastboot and just type fastboot continue
fixed

boot into twrp again and reboot system
it should fix it
next time remember just go into fastboot and type "fastboot continue"
no need to wipe or reflash
power off your phone then volume down and power together until bootloader screen appearing than select factory mode and then press power button to select factory mode

Why would doing that remove the hard coded warning that the bootloader is unlocked? Op had a functioning phone now and just didn't know the warning boot is perfectly OK.
pretty sure my twrp got replaced? idk but when I try to go to recovery all I get is the little dead android guy with the red triangle.

Why would doing that remove the hard coded warning that the bootloader is unlocked? Op had a functioning phone now and just didn't know the warning boot is perfectly OK.

I wouldn't know about "perfectly ok" but I had that bad key thing before, and read the rebooting into TWRP fixes the "issue". It's true, it works. I have N/A now and not "bad key".
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.
You loss the settings and downloaded apps but not requires to unlock the bootloader.

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?
Have you tried following this guide? https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/guide-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3761706

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

Thx for your support! I will continue to try stuff

2 of the people had the same error as you, and one of them solved the issue by changing the USB port.
---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------
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.
