[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyhonor:
I decided to write a guide on how to recover from a bricked OnePlus One. This is my first guide.

About me: I am a newbie on Android.However, the XDA community has taught me a lot about my Android phone for the first month of using it. That's right! I have only been using Android for less than one month so take this guide with a grain of salt. But if you happen to soft brick your One, this is the guide to turn to. I have created two mind-bending/heartbreaking/frightening scenarios that I have experienced. Though, resolved thanks to this community.

Note: This will wipe your phone!

Scenario 1:

Soft bricked, (CM gear keeps spinning but won't boot to lock screen)

Scenario 2: Updated kernel on a non-compatible firmware.

Soft bricked, screen on 1+ logo and won't boot to lock screen.

Solution:

1. Download the toolbox from: (Make sure you download your version)

http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/development/toolbox-oneplus-one-toolbox-t2808987

2. Install the file.

3. Disconnect your OnePlus One from computer and power off your phone.

4. Go into Fastboot Mode (Volume Up + Power button) wait on vibrate

5. Plug in your OnePlus One.

6. Locate and open the OPO Toolbox.

7. Click Flash CM XNPH22R.

8. You should see command prompt open, just wait until it finishes doing it's thing.

9. Unplug and power off your phone.

10. Power ON your phone and wait until it prompts you re-setup your phone.

Congrats you have just fixed your phone from a soft brick. Simply follow the video from the link provided on step 1 to re-root your phone.

Note: If you have unlocked your bootloader, you do not need to unlock it again.

How to find out if you have unlocked bootloader:

1. Locate the folder where you installed the OPO Toolbox.

2. Hold Shift and right click on ANY white area within the folder.

3. Left click 'Open command window here'

4. Type:

fastboot oem device-info

If it returns True on tampered. Then you have unlocked your bootloader.

I hope this guide helps solve your soft-bricked problem. Good luck!

Locked Bootloader

This didn't work...

My phone is Soft Bricked (oneplus logo freeze) locked bootoader and usb debuging is not enabled.

What can I do to fix it??
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Champi12301:
But why happened this ? Whats the last actions attempted to do with the phone before the brick?

Tecleado desde mi 1+1.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiccoSuave:
I did an ota update and it went in to a boot-loop, so I went into fast-boot and accidentally locked the boot-loader.

I think I have to try to hard-brick it and try the hard-brick solution with the qualcom drivers.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Champi12301:
Then first you need to unlock the bootloader via fastboot,but that action erases all data. I assume,if you modified the boot via fastboot, USB DEBUGGING is working,so after try to do the softbrick tutorial of the thread.

how do i know which tool box version is mine ?

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

i tried the fastboot method, i successfully run alll the commands but still stuck in the bootloop.

i even tried adb, but i cant go into recovery mode for my computer to detect it. The weird thing is i can easily go into the fastboot mode but for some reason i can go into recovery mode. i tried turning of the phone by holding power button too long and then vol down + power button, still no luck, now im stuck with 2 options,

1. the toolkit solution

2. the qualcom thingy. It's been two days without my opo, and i feel so lost ! PLS if anyone sees my comments plss respond to me PLS! i willl forever be grateful to you! :(

Did you find a solution ?

I'm facing the exact same issue on my OPO.

>> bootloader locked

>> no recovery

>> impossible to unlock the bootloader

>> OPO stuck at 1+ logo and keep rebooting agin and again and again...

....i think my OPO is dead T_T

Is it a way to force the bootloader unlock ?

Please HELP !!!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davmeva:
Didn't work for me

I'll give the background first as it might help. I long while back I did a manual upgrade to CM12s using the guide in this video "How to Install CM12S on OnePlus One - No Root or TWRP Required, No Data LOSS" from the oneplus exclusive Youtube channel.

It worked great no problems.

I recently I got the OTA update to CM13. There were several features I didn't like so I decided to go back. I repeated the process shown in the video but now my phone gets stuck on the CM logo screen and won't go past. I tried again but the same result. Then (I can see heads shaking, sorry) I tried a factory reset from the recovery screen, still the same goes past the 1+ logo but gets stuck at the CM logo. Then I found this guide, downloaded the toolbox but when I try to plash it says "fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command.

Any ideas?

Found a link on one of the threads here that said a guide on Reddit was useful, that didn't work as well. I am trying.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankabbe:
I've xperia z which I had bought from ebay. When I bought this mobile, a custom rom was installed .

Now I cannot determine my mobile software wise. I want to know whether there is any way to determine if this set is c6602 or c6603 looking into back cover and most important for which country it is meant for. Recently I've lot of problem in my xperia z so I want to flash complete stock rom meant for my mobile.

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endlesslyonline:
Im still very new, as my post count will tell you, so im not sure if its the same in custom roms, but on my Z, i go to settings, then about phone, and the model, version, etc is shown there. Hope it helps
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfreak70:
It's very normal thing to be happens. C6602 is the same as C6603. If you used a mod or ROM for one of them. So you sure can use it on the other one ;)

To see if it's actually C6603 OR C6602 look down the mic side you will find it ;)

And don't worry about the C6602 or 6603

I already did say sorry, I did not create a new topic since exists one because the problem is generic. I could easily write : how to find out which firmware was loaded from factory(+country customisation) on a Xperia Z bricked device where you cannot read this with flashtool or anything else since it is bootlooped. I know the forum admins encourage to use the search function instead opening new topics.

The tablet was bought as used so I don't know if the box really belong to this tablet. I would appreciate if someone would gime me link to these firmwares 1280-xxxx.

I cant see LTE in my mobile networks mode in G900FD :(

it has only:

WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)

WCDMA only

GSM only

can anybody help me to turn my LTE on ?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Well if your APN settings are allright you either have no LTE coverage or it isn`t available at your provider. LTE should be activated automaticaly if available.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmn3432:
my APN setting is right and i am in LTE coverage (my galaxy s3 9305 has LTE/WCDMA/GSM mode and connect to LTE network) but it has not any LTE in setting and i cant connect to LTE

I update to G900FDXXU1ANH2 to resolve this problem but it doesnt resolved :(
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Better contact your provider. Does the G900FD support your providers LTE band/frequency? I would check that first.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmn3432:
i think that i have to see LTE in networks if there is no sim card registered in the phone

am i right ?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
That would be impossible as you cannot connect to the network without a simcard ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmn3432:
and i cant go to networks too :D
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
I`am starting to think that the G900FD supports different LTE bands then the G900F because it is build for a different region. Its mainly sold in the far east as i can see so far. Better Google to find the specs and the phones supported LTE bands. You may not be able to get LTE with your device i`am afraid. Good luck mate.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmn3432:
you are right

i have to check frequency bands in my phone becuse i buy this phone from UAE and i dont know that LTE bands are the same as my operators lte frequency bands
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badmania98:
You should see LTE on sim2 only. Not Sim 1 .
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monemhamid:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kezz0r:
Hi guys

I also had the issue of LTE not being selectable on my S5 Duos - here's my experiences.

Firstly I tried putting another carriers SIM into the phone, and noticed that LTE -was- selectable, but upon putting my own SIM back in, it again wasn't. HOWEVER - after putting my own SIM back in after using LTE on the other SIM, the phone automatically connected to LTE/4G even though WCDMA (auto) was selected! Very odd.

To permanently fix this here was my method -

My phone was shipped with ANF7 firmware, which was patched to overcome the kernel vulnerability Towelroot uses to gain root. I flashed my phone with ODIN back to ANF6 firmware, applied towelroot V3, then installed root browser and edited the system file data >property>persist.radio.lteon and changed the value from false to true, and rebooted the phone. LTE is now selectable!

:EDIT: Upgrading again to ANF7 broke the selection, but it still connected to LTE automatically... So odd.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junaidawan86:
Hi,

I had the same issue as yours. You can either fix it by a method explained here at XDA and it involves rooting the device. However I fixed my issue by flashing the latest firmware "G900FDXXU1ANJ2" for the month of November via Odin and now I can see the LTE/WCDMA/GSM option on sim 1. Hope this helps :)

I have a LG G2 VS-980. The top half of my screen was completely unresponsive to touch so I decided to open it up and take a look. The digitizer cable that sits on the glass has been peeled off. Is there any way I can replace this myself? It looks to be sitting on there with just glue.

mine is the screen not responsive about half inch.

I'm assuming this is hardware relative since this happens in recovery mode.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brytion:
Yes, It's hardware. My first thought was do a factory reset, but no luck. I know there are several places online to get and new digitizer or digitizer plus LCD combo, both are sold with new ribbons already connected to the digitizer. I'm just trying to find if I can reconnect the ribbons myself without having to buy a $70 and up digitizer and LCD combo. It came loose completely by itself. I've never dropped the phone or mistreated it in any way, so I'm also worried if I buy a new digitizer then the same thing will happen again. I've contacted a few places that repair smart phones but they have no idea only just doing some research myself. So now I'm here looking for some professional help. :D

Hi,

Its my first time with lg

My brother has l7 and it was very laggy. He was still on ics, so i flashed jb using kdz (i also debranded it). So i was on v20d, but with only system apps it gives ~100mb of free ram, so i thought about cm.

I got v20d rooted+cwm+unlocked bl, flashed it, than cm10.2 - everything was fine, cm booted, but i found oc kernel for 4.3, tried it and after that i got stuck on LG logo (i got lg bootloader logo->black screen->lg bootloader logo second time, but this time bootloop).

So i flashed rooted one v20d again, but got stuck on rom logo (this one with sound and blinking part). So i tried nonrooted one, but the same happen.

I know that i had cwm, but couldnt boot into it using buttons (it should be vol+ + vol- + home + power, but it just stuck me in lg bootloader logo).

It seems that i cant make wipe, coz only buttons method is available, and that method brings lg bootloader logo bootloop.

However every where i find that wipe combination is vol+ + vol- + home + power. Is it right?

PS. I tried this combination one more time and got "recovery mode"

Thanks in advance
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] su_haris:
flash the kdz (non root)

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch3mn3y:
Thanks. It worked. I saw this site, but choose lg.com for lg p705 (no real difference with p700) and i dont know why (there is vol- + power + menu) I rad it as vol- + vol+ + home + power (i should ask myself).

Good that i always made backup so now it was really fast to get back to working cm10.2

Thanks again
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch3mn3y:
It worked, but i again had a problem. I flashed cm and wanted few mods, but got bootloop. It happens, so as i cant get to recovery using combination I flashed stock rom, so I need to do factory reset, but when phone boots, bottom doesnt light up, so menu doesnt work. Tried flashing nonroot kdz few times, but nothing help...

EDIT: When using vol+ with power the bottom lights up, but with vol- doesnt...
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] su_haris:
Hmm, I'm no good at L7. [MENTION=4751327]F4uzan[/MENTION] can help you maybe. He had once told that the recovery entering combination depends on a few factors.

Which recovery do you have BTW?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch3mn3y:
Im not sure of recovery version (it was part of the kdz) and i didnt thought that it will be needed so I didnt remember it, but i think it was 6.0.3.x (dont remember last number).

PS. Maybe someone has kdz, which works for him/her and knows recovery/factory reset combination on it, so I could try it on my phone?
