1+1...........Minus 1 Brick

Thank you markbencze!

My 1+1 is back in business,currently running through & updating to the latest 38R update.

Excellent work,you are to be commended by the entire ANDROID Community & OnePlus is no doubt in debt to you. :good:

How I got into this mess:

Accidentally wiped everything,including internal memory.

Was running TWRP 2.8.0.1 & CM11 Nightlies at the time.

Tried to restore several backups of various ROMS I had on my desktop (STOCK CM11S/CM11 Nightlies/CARBON & MAHDI ROMS) & all had persistent errors similar to the AUDIO FX error.

Spent a couple of evenings working w/OnePlus tech support via TEAM VIEWER,same results.

A couple nights later,again w/OnePlus Tech Support,attempted to flash a COLOR O/S ROM via TEAM VIEWER,made things worse,phone wouldn't get past the RED 1+ Boot Animation before freezing up,tried it with both the COLOR O/S Recovery & TWRP Recovery,same result.

That's when I took a few days off,awaiting OnePlus to initiate an RMA.

Fast forward to today,I was prompted to look around after watching an XDA-TV episode titled The Risk Of Brick:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/risk-of-brick-xdatv/

I ended up flashing back to version 25 via a toolkit from one of the members here & then ran the NEVER SETTLE LITE FIX from the OP.

Now on stock recovery/ROM,unrooted for the time being,at least until I update to 38R.

Everything is working:WI-FI/4GLTE/Phone Calls/Bluetooth,no other repair work necessary.

Again,many thanks! :good:

You're a good man,saw your offer to help others via TEAM VIEWER,a PRICELESS GESTURE!

Buying you a virtual drink just won't cut it,check your PAYPAL in a few moments,it's worth at least the price of shipping & handling for an RMA................ :good:
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negan:
holy crap man thank you so much!!! That's freaking awesome! You sure didn't have to do that man. Wow man!!! I'm happy to have helped you get your baby back!!!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vonnegut:
Of course i do. I posted here a while ago about what happened to me (do you remember that post?). As i wrote, I just flashed back my persist. I also invited everybody to make a backup.

Since then a few guys in the italian forum had to flash the backup of their persist too.

I also found out that the persist gets erased after a system crash. It doesnt make any difference if the system crashes while playing a game or while in recovery or because of a bootloop. In all of those cases, the common factor is that the system SOFT-reboots...then erase the persist.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negan:
oh yeah i remember you now. Yeah that's right and you made an efs script too i think. Nice to see you checking in again man. You've been helpful here as well. Appreciate it
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KOLIOSIS:
A couple questions.......

Soooooo,as I understand it,as long as I don't wipe everything (especially in TWRP),I should be OK from here on out?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iOSh8er:
Hmm...

Even pushing the files manually via fastboot I get the error that says the system.image file is too large.

This is the only file giving me this error. Any ideas?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negan:
you bet man. Now in theory you should normally be able to wipe everything in a perfect world. But it's not so all you need to do when installing a rom is wipe/factory reset and wipe system and then flash. No need to wipe caches as they're wiped automatically. I started using philz a week ago as I haven't ruled out twrp as the cause yet. Philz has an option to wipe/clean install of new rom. That's all that's needed and you're good
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negan:
do you have a custom recovery? If so you can always just download and push Calkulins stock 38r zip to twrp and flash it. you should be good by doing this. If you still need help let me know.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KOLIOSIS:
THANKS!

Just flashed a zip to bring it up to 38R.

Gonna go w/this (stock/unrooted) for a week or so,wanna see the benefits of the update before I get into Flash-Mode.

Once again,THX for all of your contributions/efforts to the ANDROID Community! :cool:

BTW,not to go against the instructions in the OP,just an oversight by yours truly,I didn't use the erase commands & everything is working OK.

Just wanted to put it out there,for informational purposes.

You'd think I'd learned by now to slow down & read the instructions THOROUGHLY before proceeding.

As a matter of fact,I believe what was the genesis of my issues was a change in the menu order when selecting what to wipe in TWRP.

Either that,or,I scrolled down one line too far & checked the wrong box when selecting items to wipe.

I do know that I indeed wiped everything,kinda hard not to realize that................................................ :laugh:

I promise,this time lesson learned.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iOSh8er:
I am going to try that next. I had a copy that I moved to my PC before i started, but it must be corrupt as it bootloops like crazy.

I got past the size error in fastboot (Needed an SDK update on my PC). I also was getting the "archive does not contain 'boot.sig", archive does not contain 'recovery.sig" & archive does not contain 'system.sig" errors when i run the batch file. After this error it acts like it installs correctly but the phone boots without any data connectivity, showing baseband & imei both empty.

Anyway, I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for the help!

Edit1: No go on Calkulkin's 38 file... it allowed me to have wifi during setup, but no data. After the first reboot, it starts to reboot itself every 15 seconds or so.

I am open for anything at this point... Ideas [MENTION=5098295]markbencze[/MENTION] ?

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negan:
Did you already flash the persist.IMG?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iOSh8er:
Yes. I wipe persist, flash persist. Wipe reserve4, flash reserve4. I then start the flash-all.bat. The only error it shows is missing the 3 .sig files.

EDIT: Log http://pastebin.com/QTj0FumM

I have to get some sleep. Let me know if you have any ideas, V will try to catch up tomorrow.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negan:
hmmm that should have worked. i say try again from scratch and let me know. It should have worked.

I'll check here when i wake up
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iOSh8er:
Thanks, I have done it probably 5 times already. But I will start again when I wake. Did you see the file I posted? Not sure if there is anything worth looking at in there.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vonnegut:
Mark, many ppl had the persist erased while not using the TWRP.

Some of the guys here gave a well detailed description of what happened to them.

One guy had a crash after playing a game and he also stated that after a quick reboot he saw many errors which are related to the drivers non being correclty re-initialized. That was a crash+softreboot.

Another one had a crash+softreboot caused by a dirty flash.

A third one had a crash+softreboot while setting an app.

As for me, i had a crash+softreboot while restoring a backup in TWRP (the recovery is an OS itself and can crash too).

The persist is writable partition (EXT4) called during the hard boot in order to set the parameters for a lot of stuffs.

My opinion is that there must be a bug in Android. It looks like that the system itself erases the persist because it doesn't handle a crash+softreboot correctly.

Again, this kind of error could get triggered (and has been triggered) by many different events...what they have in common is the soft-reboot after the crash. Just my 2 cents...
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negan:
Yeah man I was wondering that as well. One person here was stock unroofed which pretty much kills that theory.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronanoronano:
I've tried different cable, the ports on my netbook are dodgy so am going to head to a net cafe to see if i can see if it works from there. I have a more general question, is it possible to get files off the sd card without booting into android? i've been keeping a migraine diary for the last month which to lose would be a *****!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iOSh8er:
Well, another day with the same results :(

I am not sure what I could do different, as I am following the instructions to the letter. I am open for any suggestions! ANY!

In my case, I restored a nandroid and lost data. I still have two EFS backups but nothing changes when I restore them.

EDIT: I also noticed that if I try to run flash-all.bat with admin it errors EVERY file.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negan:
Have you tried restoring your nandroid and then just flashing the persist and rebooting?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negan:
If you have an otg USB storage you can transfer them in twrp
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iOSh8er:
Honestly I can't remember LOL... Restoring now. MD5's are good on the backup.

Edit: No go :(

Edit Edit: This phone is about to go out the window... (literally)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vonnegut:
Exactly :good:

Since losing their persist is the major issue ppl can face, i made a flashable .zip of the persist.img in the OP for those who can't use fastboot --> http://www.mediafire.com/download/77d5w7yyydkxp7e/Persist.zip

Moreover, for all those who haven't lost their persist, i made a .zip that dumps their own persist and make a flashable .zip out it...for the future :) Afterall, our own persist is a bit more sofisticated then the basic one coming with the colorOS, so i guess everybody would prefer to flash back their own persist instead of the ColorOS one.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negan:
Awesome man. I'm adding this post to the op!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iOSh8er:
OK, I can get wifi on boot if I restore a nandroid with modem and wipe data. However, after that first boot it goes away and I have zero connectivity. Sometimes while signing into my wifi network on that first boot it will reboot on its own. From then on it will reboot every 30 seconds or so with no connectivity.

I have requested an RMA for repair.

Thanks to everyone for trying to help me. I guess it is a good thing that the Nexus 6 is rumored to be released this week...
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdamocles:
I have tried that persist zip but it gives me a blank folder with nothing in it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vonnegut:
I know, some recovery doesn't ad the persist to the vold.stab (that's what Katinatez wrote, but i'm not persuaded that's the reason..for me it just doesn't mount the /tmp or the /data/media/0 correctly).

Philz doesn't work. Even 2.8 unofficial TWRP doesn't seem to work. Ask Katinatez for that...he's the man who ported Philz and releases the unofficial TWRP recovery.

P.S. The official TWRP 2.7.1.1 works flawless....

Huge shout out to Markbencze! This worked for me. I had previously backed up modemst1 and modemst2 but just flashing them alone did nothing to fix the problem with the continual AudioFX forces closes (and there was other stuff like systemui crashing behind that. I worked all night last night trying all sorts of things but nothing worked. Finally found this thread this morning and flashed the persist.img and reserve4.img files and my phone is back! Have LTE and everything.

Now, if I knew what happened to corrupt or delete these files in the first place I'd feel a whole lot better... Anyway, thanks again!

I couldn't agree more, it was the same in my case.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negan:

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansou901:
[MENTION=2249907]dmo580[/MENTION], try flashing just the radio image... I mean the file called NON-HLOS.bin. Just do a fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgjenkins:
Yeah, I have dozens of nandroids but just restoring a nandroid did nothing to fix the problem. I also had modemst1.bin and modemst2.bin files backed up and fastboot flashing them didn't work either. I'll do more research on if there is a more complete efs backup method since I had been led to believe the two files comprised efs? Although, I'm not convinced I ever lost efs. I couldn't verify that since I couldn't get back into the phone. More to learn...
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Great to hear. Yeah if you have a modemst1 and modemst2 backup I think you're good to go. Flashing a factory ROM is always a solid way to get your phone back to shape in addition to restoring the EFS.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Yup tried, no good.

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

Interesting so flashing the modemst1/st2 did nothing to restore connectivity. But then I'm not sure if your AudioFX FC loop was getting in the way of any testing too? I imagine you can't even use your phone when that's going on.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgjenkins:
Yup, you're right. That's why I'm not sure I even ever had a connectivity problem. Could be completely unrelated. If they are related then I fixed it by flagging the modem files, but never actually saw the connectivity loss because of the force closes, if that makes sense...

I am not sure yet what the root cause of the issue is. But I doubt it's from cm. Working blind on this I can only know so much.
