I still have doubts with the meaning of brickloop vs bootloop but I guess this fixes both!

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pawer8:
If you get waiting device your drivers aren't properly intalled or you're not opening the cmd where you sould, as it's said in the first page. Also, when fixing mine I realized that windows installed the adb driver, until the "device ready to use" message appeared I got that "waiting for device" output. So go to the devices manager and check the driver. Hope this helps

you Sir, [MENTION=5098295]markbencze[/MENTION] are a legend, you just saved my phone from death.

I do not know what the issue is, but I just tried to install 38r via fastboot and it completed succesfuly, but there was constant reboots. flashed 30O same results. flashed 25R kept on getting AudioFX FC, and when connected via usb, internal memory was showing as unknown. no signal and wifi doesnt come up.

followed this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/one...fs-corrupt-t2879061/post55488755#post55488755

by flashing via fastboot persist.img on top of previous 25r flash without wiping. and it seems to have solved the issues. signal is full bar now, wifi working, no audio fx fc. should have spent the past few hours studying rather than fixing this.

only issue is now, everything in my device has been wiped. all my images and so on.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kushXmaster:
Couple things. First, don't quote the entire first post it's totally unnecessary.

Second, you are either opening cmd prompt in the wrong place or you don't have the drivers installed. Make sure when you open cmd prompt you press "shift" and right click in the correct directory, then click the option that says "open command window here."

Windows should automatically install the drivers for your device. If it doesn't you'll have to find the USB drivers and install them manually.

[FIXES THE <WAITING FOR DEVICE> PROBLEM...]

I feel ashamed for being a member on this website for so long, and the only reason I had trouble completing this guide was because my drivers were failing..

So to those who's phone does not get recognized in fastboot mode, here is the solution on how to install your drivers correctly.

(STEPS 11-21)

http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/07/30/how-to-set-up-adb-fastboot-with-android-sdk/2/

On step 17, if you cant find the file (android_winusb.inf) how they tell you to, just search for it on your windows 7 search bar, right click it, find file location, and paste it on the ( Copy manufacturer's files from: ) bar and continue with the steps....

Many people should know, but just because I made such a silly mistake, I felt the need to share....

Good luck!

CM Lockscreen has stopped

I can not thank OP enough. I spent the better part of 3 hours trying to resolve the "CM Lockscreen has stopped" but it just kept boot looping. This happened when I tried to install multi-rom. I didn't think the command would work. I had TWRP so I ran the command and rebooted and I was amazed. Thank you!!!!!

I have the error "unable to find partition for path /sdcard" in twrp 2.8.0.1. The ROM boots but I get about 20 system apps that fail to start including Trebuchet. I can get the reboot menu with the power button.

I have tried the command directly in TWRP and the fastboot commands, but I am having no luck. I really want to save my data on the sdcard. Any ideas?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negan:

Didn't think you would. I meant I didn't know that it would work for my specific issue though.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeyperOS:
I don't see this as being related to the brickloop issue, more like a permissions issue. Have you tried wiping data/factory reset and/or re-installing the latest (stock?) ROM (or CM nightlies)?

If I were you I'd get a flashable zip of the rom I want to install, reboot into TWRP, connect it to the PC (TWRP 2.8.1.0 uses its' own MTP drivers) or, if that fails, load it through OTG, wipe system, data and cache partitions (we keep the media i.e sdcard partition as not to lose your files) and reflash the ROM. Bad news is you'll lose all your programs and settings, good news is, if it works you've kept your personal files like your photos and documents.

If you still can't access your files then I'm afraid you have a more serious problem that it originally seemed and chances are you won't be able to save your files. In that case, another thing to try if that fails is to download the latest stock rom from HERE, go back into TWRP, wipe everything again as above, shut the phone down, turn it back on in fastboot mode, and then flash the stock ROM. You can do it manually or you can also use the OPO_Toolbox app. In that case you don't need to download the latest rom as v4 of the toolbox includes the rom itself.

If that STILL fails, get back to fastboot and wipe the persist and modemst1 and modemst2 partitions for good measure (though I still don't think those are to blame).

EDIT: I re-read your post, I missed the part where TWRP couldn't see your sdcard, yeah, a screenshot/photo would be best to see what's wrong though I am afraid that the sdcard partition is probably corrupt or even worse, the nand is. I doubt you'll be able to restore any data from it but try the TWRP MTP method above first.

Hi I have a big problem with OPO . I have the Chinese version 64GB. I bought it with CM11 M9 and Color OS Recovery from the store. After I installed CM11S 38R and AK Kernel, than I decided to flash rootet 38S CM11S with stock kernel. Yesterday happened that CM lock screen has stopped and I can't do nothing. I decided to factory reset via TWR recovery. But doest work it bootlop again and again. So a guy from the store installed Color OS and say it works just with Color OS. With CM or CM11S it bootlop. But my WiFi isn't working now in Color OS. Please Help me ??? How to go back to CM? Or any solution. Thnx

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negan:
Yes. Ok first thing you need to do is read the op. Then read it again slowly. You should not be flashing that. The instructions are there to help you. You must follow them. At no point do I instruct you to flash that zip. That zip is meant to be extracted and flashed via fastboot.

You need to follow part 2 and enter the twrp terminal commands. Moving forward you must read AMD follow instructions or you will one day brick.

I will help as needed but I ask that you do your part and read the instructions

Now can i flash the 44s from recovery? And have no problem? Im still on Color Os
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vonnegut:
Enea, it's clear to me you have no idea of what you did and what your doing.

The 44S OTA is not a full ROM, you can flash it only on top of the 38R.

Moreover you don't seem to know that when you flashed the ColorOS you actually didn't flash only the boot and the system but a lot of other partitions too. Namely, the ColorOS put the chinese version of the bootloader, the sbl1, the rpm, the tz, the LOGO, the oppostanvbk and finally the reserve4.

Did you know that?

If you want to go back to the international ROM i strongly advice you to flash this official zip (check the Readme inside the zip for instructions) https://account.onepluscontent.com/downloads/tools/oneplus-one-reflash.zip

This zip will delete everything, so make a backup of your internal storage and apps.

Anyway, that zip will clean install the 38R and will fix all of the others partitions but the oppostanvbk.

Don't worry, after that just flash the 44S OTA which will fix the oppostanvbk too.

If you will follow my suggestion, you'll have both a perfectly clean install of the 44S and the international partitions too.

P.S. The 38R zip will lock your bootloader again, mind that. If you don't want that to happen, just edit the ONEPLUS ONE - 2.bat with Notepad and remove the line fastboot oem lock
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enea307:
Thnx for your time explaining me really. I haven't installed Color Os my self a guy from store installed that and say that i cant go more whith CM. Thats why im trying to do it my self.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vonnegut:

Anyway that's the official zip that OnePlus points to guys who had screwed up a bit.

You're totally right: this phone isn't for you. You need something more like an iphone.

As far as the the troubles you had, they are due to windows. I know that installing a driver can be very tricky using windows (especially if don't know how to do that manually and you don't know how to disinstall them after you messed up everything).

I strongly suggest you to buy an Apple PC too.

As for the problem persist problem, it has been (more or less) fixed but i sympathize with you when you say that shouldn't happen.

Unfortunately, in the real world, i still haven't seen a single device or a single OS (or even a game) released as perfect as it should be...and i've been using a PC since the the 80' (well maybe the Amiga was a near to perfect overall PC at the time).
