Your phone is fine, I believe you have to really kill the battery, currently it vibrates as its too low to boot/fastboot. It only charges in the red-OPO-chinese battery warning page, or during Android boot logo, from my benchmarks.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickizm:
So do I need to drain the battery first or can I achieve this with a full charge? I also saw that the drivers will work on windows 7 64bit if you disable the signature?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickizm:
Can I use this method to restore my device even so it's not bricked? my recovery is damage and my device is locked. so no unlock and no recovery.. I did get Msm8974DownloadTool.exe to scan my device and it showed my recovery as failed. My device doesn't show up on the downloadtool coms so I was unable to flash colorOS. in device manager my Opo shows up as android. I am running W7 64, but I have disabled driver signature and installed qualcomm 2012. I'm not sure if they are the correct drivers. I have also tried the drivers which come with colorOS, but as soon as I contact my Opo windows start installing it's own drivers. I would be very grateful for any advice before I try installing XP on my laptop... Thanks.

You can also do it from Android but you need to be rooted.

Even though the phone is not bricked there is a way to turn on the phone in Qualcomm mode. It is explained here on this thread so look for it. once you do that you'll be able to install color OS

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orvils:
I guess I am out of luck. Tried all the possible button presses - nothing. Connecting to PC (Linux and Windows) shows nothing. It only stops vibrating if I take out the battery. If I hold down the power button after ~5sec vibration stops for 1 sec and then starts again. If I take out the battery and then connect to charger it starts to constantly vibrate again. For example if I take out the battery of my Nexus 5 and put it to charger it shows charging screen but shuts down since there is no battery inside. Not sure what else to do with my OnePlus One.. Bathing all boards and cables in alcohol didn't help either. It only stops vibrating when battery runs out of power.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanchon:
i asked before what did you do to the phone that caused it to behave this way in the first place.

btw, power button stuck is not it, since the phone responds to the 5 second reset thing. so i guess you looked in dmesg and there is zero output after connecting it to linux right? that means the usb is dead and, unless you can change that, there is nothing you can do from a pc.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavinhungry:
I tried to flash a new bootloader logo to the LOGO partition (fastboot flash LOGO logo.img). Things have not gone well today. Since that fateful flash, I can only get my phone into "QHSUSB__BULK" mode.

I have tried using the instructions from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55024864&postcount=136. The Color OS drivers did not work for (would not install on Windows XP). I'm using the "Qualcomm 2012" drivers, which make my phone show up in Device Manager as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (I've never seen it show up as 9006).

Msm8974DownloadTool seems to successfully push 8974_msimage.mbn, but that's it. After that, my phone disappears from Device Manager and the tool seems to time out.

I also tried QPST with instructions from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56956860&postcount=243, but I get:

Device mode = Sahara on port 10000
server event monitor enabled
path for selected COM port = "_HCD1!hub:0!dev:0"

Is there anything left to do?

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanchon:
if the phone doesnt boot, its very hard to know when it is off. if the battery runs out, i dont think it will charge without a kernel.

*if* the phone is really off, and you hold down volume up while you connect it to a pc, it will enter QHSUSB__BULK.

alternative: phone in any state: plug it to a pc, hold down vol up and power for 10 seconds. the phone will enter bulk mode.

a long power press will turn it off, but then it will turn it on a second later. how to make sure it is off, i dont know.

I can't thank you guys enough. Was restoring a backup from TWRP, and had issues with the screen not waking( I was coming back from 5.0 ), so i googled and was told to flash the modem from 44S.

Odd that many were having issues due to flashing incorrect kernels, yet i used a file i had used multiple times to get CM11S back because i hate keeping TWRP backups.

You have my thanks, my favorite, my firstborn. And a free coffee if you're ever in my neck of the woods

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavinhungry:
I was doing this from a Windows XP VM (I usually hate Windows :)). As a last resort, I installed Windows XP a real OS on a spare drive, and the Color OS tool worked right away! Used the Qualcomm 2012 drivers. After 8974_msimage.mbn, the phone again disconnects (that was the end when running from a VM), but then comes back as a 9006 device and completes. So, if you're having the issue of only the first file flashing and then disconnecting (and you're using a Windows VM), try a real install of Windows.

Sitting at a Chinese fastboot now while I re-download CyanogenMod 12! Thanks everybody!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kronborn1:
Could you please clarify following for me please (I have a pretty similar situation):

1. how long did you wait for 9006 device after flashing 8974_msimage.mbn ?

2. did you have a line green after flashing of 8974_msimage.mbn ? or it just ran quickly to a middle and device became disconnected ?

3. did you have a USB string in MSMTool after 8974_msimage.mbn flashing, or it looks different for you ?

Actually I tried hardware XP with no luck, but probably I waiting not enough after 8974_msimage.mbn...

Could you also take a look at my problem description here:

https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...ricked-oneplus-one.104943/page-9#post-8380198

Thank you in advance!

Glad to hear about your progress with unbricking ! )
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavinhungry:
1. In the VM, a few minutes with no activity. On the real install of XP, about 3 seconds before 9006 showed up. It did prompt me to install a driver for it. I just pointed it at the same folder I used for 9008 (in Qualcomm 2012 driver: fre/XP-Vista) and it installed right away.

2. I don't think there was a green line after 8974_msimage.mbn, it just flashed and stopped.

3. It did look different (from the rest of the lines) after 8974_msimage.mbn. I have no idea what it said.

I should have mentioned it in my last post, but after 9006 mode showed up, I did have to hit Stop in the tool and then start it again. It didn't try to flash 8974_msimage.mbn again, it just picked up where it left off and completed. Are you using the "Qualcomm 2012" drivers?

Read your post from the OnePlus forum. Do you never get 8974_msimage.mbn to complete? Even in the VM, that file always would flash for me. It was getting past that where I had trouble.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kronborn1:
Thanks for your answers mate! I don't really know was the 8974_msimage.mbn completed for me or not - progress going very quickly (1-2 sec) and after that - device was disconnected. I asked you to describe your 8974_msimage.mbn flashing process to improve my understanding of that, but I'm still not clear - flashed it completely or not - I have no any green lines at least. As I remember - I waited for a minute or two after it (on a real XP) - no 9006 appeared in manager (or any similar or even just new) for me. If I press volume+ button (even without power) device has come back at the same state (9008). Yes I'm using the "Qualcomm 2012" drivers - seems like these ones are the mostly used and working.

Thank you very much for your info and any further (if any).
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jahdiel2011:
I just brought mine back to life with this method.

I used this Qualcom driver which worked fine.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx5BQ5W7fk_7VFRpbW5WTzR0OGs/view?usp=sharing

As for installing the driver using Windows 7 i just deactivated the driver signature verification by pressing F8 when windows is booting and selecting the option to ignore that validation.

after that I just did the thing with the Color OS tools.

Thank you VERY MUCH for the post it is 100% effective.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salman.arif:
Worked 110% :d

Thumbs up :)

Worked for 100%. I got my phone hard bricked when I tried to install CM11S (the one for international version) on my Chinese version of OPO. Maybe there was a conflict between the two versions, or something like that. I got a bit worried at start but when I searched over XDA and OPO Forums, I came to know that this looks out to be a curable issue. This ColorOS solution brought my OPO back to life.

Based on my experience, following are some of the tips I would like to share:

1. Despite of trying several times this solution did not work for me on windows 7/8. The reason was obviously the unsigned drivers, which win 7/8 were blocking as they are unsigned. So I did it on Windows XP, and it worked in the first round.

2. Since Windows XP is hard to find now a days on any system, so instead of installing it on my laptop, I created a virtual machine of based on Windows XP OS. As it was a virtual machine, so the flashing took a bit long, but it was completed successfully.

3. When the flashing was complete, the line turned Green, (this is the key, it is the indication that Yes, everything went fine). If it is not turning Green, then most probably there is an issue and device is not flashed properly (as it was happening with me when I installed some Qualcomm 9008 drivers on Windows 7).

4. If after flashing, you are unable to load ColorOS (as it was the case with me) then don't panic. TBH, even after flashing ColorOS (most probably) you'll be going for CM11 or CM12 nightly. So just put your phone on Fast Boot and follow the steps as mentioned above.

5. If you are flashing CM11 on your phone and following the steps as mentioned above, then you'll be required to have Android SDK. Otherwise, your device would not be recognized as a Fastboot device in CMD (for windows).

Don't worry if you got your device bricked, there is always a chance of pulling your OPO back to life (unless there is a hardware failure).

Thanks for the solution again :)
