[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karasutenguxx:
same as above but for dummies like me!

so it took me six hours and a lot of pain but i unbricked my one using the above method. but the color os drivers dont do anything so i used qualmcomm drivers and that worked like a charm. anyway here is my guide how to unbrick oneplus one for dummies (like me) :D

first you need to download this stuff.

drive dot google dot com/folderview?id=0B9lpXIDbohW1eDVwd0NrWVpEbVk&usp=drive_web﻿ (cant use web links caz its my fist post so just replace the dot with . :D)

now from here download qualmcomm2012.zip and color.zip ﻿

ow its very important that you follow the steps correctly or its gonna be useless.

1, delete all the device drivers you have for your one. 2, check if the device get recognized when you connect it to the computer.

3, if it is getting recognized as QHSUSB_BULK than this fix might help you (remember i am just retelling what unbricked my device, i have no actual programming idea, and it took me six hours of tinkering to get it right)

3A, connect your device to the computer and if nothing happens than press vol up +power for ten seconds. that should put you in qualmcomm highspeed usb mode aka QHSUSB_BULK.

4, this step is very important so pay attention. you wont be able to install qualmcomm drivers if you have windows signature verification for the drivers on.... so restart the computer and as soon as the power comes back on start pressing F8 furiously!!! that should take you in advanced boot menu (where you end up if windows shuts down improperly, with safe mode and all them options) now choose option 7 (i think) it says

here is how

(again this step is very important! so do it properly or you would be running around without any results)

5, now when the computer has started after you chose the driver enforcement option off, start device manager and find your phone it should be qhsusb_bulk. now right click on it and update drivers. (remember the zip file i gave you the link to? unzip it on your desktop or a place you remember and when the option comes up to search for drivers select manual installation "or from this computer" and nevigate to the folder qualmcomm2012 unzipped... now it will ask you if you are sure if you wanna install the unsigned drivers click YES! and viola. you are ready to go. )

6, check if the driver install worked, unplug the phone and replug it and press vol up + power. and if it get recognized as qualmcomm something something than woohoo you have done it! oh btw make sure that the device is being recognized as a comms device (it means it will be under comm ports in device manager...)﻿

this bit is just coppied from above :silly:

Anyway, once you have the drivers straightened out, connect your phone to the computer, start it up by holding VolUp + Power to about 10 seconds, and let the computer do its thing. Don't install drivers if they are not installed by itself. Instead launch Msm8974DownloadTool.exe. (you will find it in color.zip which you should unzip in a convenient place you will be able to navigate to quickly) It will scan all the COM ports and find the phone. That's the one line that looks different in the list. The list is just a list of your com devices. If you unplug the phone and move it to another port, or computer, it will show your bricked phone on a different line. There is no reason to click in or select at lines, the program knows where the phone is.

Clicking on "Enum" just rescans the busses. Clicking the big square button in upper right corner scans the phone and reports what's good and what's not. It takes a minute for the scan to finish.

If you don't see your devices, try unplugging/plugging in your phone a couple times, and rebooting it with VolUP + Power (hold 10 seconds). You will see it in Device Manager as well.

Anyway, once you see the phone in the list, click Start. You should see the programs starts writing different files to the phone. Each time it writes a file you'll see a progress bar. Once this is going you know you will be good to go... After all files are written, the line with your device will turn green. You're good, unplug and reboot your phone to ColorOS.

If there is a problems flashing the device, the line will turn Red.

anyway when the colorOS if flashed than you can just check youtube how to get back to cm11s

best of luck and hope it works out for ya
