Hey guys, I am posting this in hopes that it will solve your problem now or in the future. This is basically a modified Msm8974DownloadTool that includes the CM11s (XNPH44S) ROM rather than the color OS ROM (Skipping the whole fastboot flash step and just using this program) as well as its 85% translated (Making it easier to use). This will fix any bricks that you might have gotten yourself into or if you simply want to restore to the stock CM11s firmware. Hope you guys enjoy :)

NOTE: (THIS MEANS READ)

1.) RUN PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR (OR IT WILL FAIL)

2.) If windows 8 nags that it might be unsafe just click more info and click RUN ANYWAY. (Reason: I modified the exe file to flash CM11s rather than Color OS and it causes it to loose the signature.)

3) If drivers dont work or your device is not detected for whatever reason install the QPST tool.

Instructions

1.) Connect your phone to your PC.

2.) Make sure the OnePlusRecoveryTool is open and your PHONE IS OFF.

3.) Hold Volume UP + Power

4.) Your computer should detect it (If not then install proper drivers, Look below)

5.) Click Refresh - Something should be different on one of the columns of the program.

6.) Click Start (Make sure Normal Restore is ticked)

7.) It should flash (It might take a long time to flash System.img and or Userdata.img sometimes)

8.) It will show green once its done, at this point you can disconnect device and hold power to reboot.

9.) You should be fully restored to stock CM11s. Enjoy :)

[ONE General] Heisenberg:
Just need to clarify something, you mention this restores the device to the stock CM11 firmware, but CM11 isn't the stock firmware for this phone, the stock firmware is CM11S. Is it CM11S or CM11? If it's CM11S, which build does it restore to? If it's CM11, which nightly or snapshot does it restore to?

CM11S and XNPH44S

does this thing work? tried installing the drivers but still the tool wnt detect my phone in fastboot. Any reason why
[ONE General] deltatux:
Holy crap this thing is a real lifesaver. Improper bootloader and modem flash completely hard bricked my device.

Thanks for the tool bud. Lost data, but at least I got my OPO back. Is there a way to not wipe data? It would have been great if the tool could have an option to not flash userdata.img...

[ONE General] dev.meena:
I followed the instructions completely, first installed the drivers which I guess isntalled the Colors drivers after that put my phone in fastboot but still the tool failed to detect my phone in any of the ports. Any clue what I need to do to get this working?

I tried installing the drivers again but the setup wnt run and will close immediately after the prompt window.

I have used Nexus devices earlier hence I am quiet familiar with ADB etc but needed to get this tool also working just in case I have a brick and other ways of recovering fail http://cdn4.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Bro will it work on my bricked opo? My opo can't go in fastboot or recovery just black screen nd nothing else...
[ONE General] betalaga:
hello Zyxxeil and thank you for the tutorial, i have save my OPO from an incredible brick .

if my experience can help other user, after connecting the phone off and open the tool , Windows recognizes the phone with previously installed drivers and then you press vol up and power for a few seconds , then refresh the tool , without waiting for the fastboot screen.. then clicking start makes all the procedure to screen black!

Any other mirrors plz !!

AFH maybe !!
[ONE General] info.brandenburg:
Thank you!

A very nice tool.

Had to restore my device with the original tool so i had to flash CyanogenMod manually, but with this tool it is easier and faster.

And more english instead of chinese language is better to understand of course.
[ONE General] Nbsss:
Great work!

Here's something i learnt today, never type "fastboot erase cache" without following it up with "fastboot format cache", or better yet never type that command... almost hard-bricked doing that!
[ONE General] Themirk91:
Gong to try this awesome thing that could save my phone.

I have a huge battery drain with CM12. I wait the official OTA
[ONE General] Braaainz:
Okay, I'm going to try the tool in a moment here. What are the MSM Drivers though?

I downloaded the UniversalAdbDriverSetup.msi previously. Is that what you're talking about?

Gah. Never mind. I'm fricking idiot. Found 'em.

---------- Post added 9th January 2015 at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was 8th January 2015 at 11:48 PM ----------

Okay. So many problems tonight. ARGH.

I ran the driver set up routine. At the end, green bar was filled (assuming it completed) and i had a green button in the bottom right hand corner. I pushed the button and the driver set up program closed.

I plugged the phone into the computer and heard a chime.

I opened the TOOL for 64gb phone (which is what I have).

My phone appears bricked.

I held volume UP and held the power button for a very long time.

In the TOOL, I didn't see anything change. The first column is filled will chinese. None others are.

I clicked refresh. Nothing changed. I have Normal Restore ticked.

I don't get the change shown in the row that is shown in the video.

I'm not a PC person, maybe I'm not running the program as administrator? I'm given the administrator password everytime I was prompted by the program.

Argh.
[ONE General] Silverquark:
Try holding power and volume up or down while connected
[ONE General] ForxVT:
Hello,

I have a problem, when I try to use the tool, with Refresh, nothing change, but in my device in port I have "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM6)" when I try to launch the phone with Vol+ and Power.

What can I do ? That's happen when I try to update the phone from basic phone CyanogenOS to OxygenOS.

Thanks.
[ONE General] molohov:
Amazing, thank you so much. Revived my phone from the dead!

I don't know how this happened to me in particular. In my case, I just flashed the tz partition (JUST the tz partition) from a CM firmware, and then it died....never happened before when I flashed the tz partition. Anyone else experience this?

Stuck at 'Sahara' stage

I've been at this for the past 24 hours now yet it still hangs at the Sahara stage. This tool worked on the first Oneplus One I used it on but it's not going so well with this one now. I've attached pictures to explain my situation. I need help.
[ONE General] viperex37:
How long does it take to flash? I only got one progress bar that completed successfully (I think) and now it's hung on the screen that says Usb in the line. The log only shows the result of the md5check for one file (8974_msimage.mbn)

EDIT: Clicking Stop then Start got it going and unbricked the phone
[ONE General] ezeuba:
How does this relate to the issue you're replying to? Someone is asking for help for a driver issue and you're posting a link to a data recovery tool.

Anybody who have benefited from this tool for a dropped OPO... I dropped my phone.. a few days ago on a tough concrete ground.. Although, no visibke damage on screen or board... There s no activation.. No light, no power on no rocovery.. I could just trigger fast boot once after a 10 hr of charging... but device became unresponsive again..
[ONE General] noobtoob:
Sounds more like you have a hardware problem rather than software. Maybe battery came loose or something? I would have it inspected. There are guides out there to do it yourself, or have a shop do it for you.
[ONE General] ivans7288:
Me too...

Hi, all,

I guess everyone else has already been here and done this.

I updated my 64GB OPO to 12 for a month and was not happy with the results, so today I tried to revert back to 11. I got a bad boot loader.

I have spent all day reading this and other forums trying fix it, and finally got drivers so that my Windows 7 system recognizes the bricked device. Only problem is it shows up as "REALINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008" instead of "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" I would not care but neither the Color Msm8974DownloadTool nor the OnePlusRestoreTool(64GB) recognizes it. I have tried removing the driver and reinstaling it several times, with no luck. Any suggestions? I am running the Restore tools in Administrator mode, although have never made it far enough for that to matter.

Thanks and sorry if I missed a post already covering this.

[ONE General] msri3here:
HELPPP

I have the same problem as well

1. Installed drivers successfully

2. Restored OPO with recovery tool. Everything installed and the line turned green

After disconnecting and trying to restart the phone, nothing is working.

Its still in bricked state

[MENTION=3929963]Zyxxeil[/MENTION], [MENTION=4148474]WEM97[/MENTION], Can some one help me with this?
[ONE General] BloodOfSirens:
Hey msri resolved this issue only by RMA through one plus , since it is a software problem they will try to fix it through the remote control of your computer.But even that didn't work so I was just asked to send it to them.Since it was a software it fell under warrenty to replace. Hope this helps
[ONE General] msri3here:
Thank you. I was considering RMA.

Then somehow, I could get into fastboot mode and installed stock CM12.1 and all was well.

Later on, I realized that my Power button was messed up and this was the reason I was not able to start my phone :D

Will try and replace the power button and see how it goes.
[ONE General] jsrivard:
Worked... With Driver From Post #40

Thank you so much, you saved my bacon.... and I love bacon.

One note that might help others. My phone would connect to the computer (Windows sounds signaling a device was connected) but then 5 seconds later it would disconnect itself from the computer which didn't allow much time to work with. I had to open up device manager and quickly right-click on the Unknown device, click update driver and then update the driver to the one posted in post #40 of this thread. After that I got the "Com..." to show up one of the lines of the recovery tool but again I had to work fast to start the recovery as soon as the device connected because otherwise it would disconnect itself. I was glad/lucky that once the recovery started the device didn't disconnect again and it completed the cycle.

Oh and I found myself in this bricked state by installing a kernel for the wrong phone, even though the download location said the ROM was for the One. I was sweating as I watched the ROM install and it said... "Samsung" and turns out my One was bricked. But now it is working again thanks to this tool. So be careful where you get your ROMs from.

Again, thank you all so much!

This is the real deal. Saved my hard bricked OPO. Thank you Zyxxeil
[ONE General] miguelag24:
Hi, do you reckon trying this could help me or not?

Current state of my OPO:

- No OS

- Recovery is accessible

- LOCKED bootloader

Due to the locked bootloader I cannot flash anything, I tried using adb push (unable to mount /data,...) and fastboot (unable to write).

I was trying to fix some touchscreen issues and something went wrong while flashing an oxygenOS patch.

The adb sideload also gives me errors: unable to mount.

Tried to fix it using the zip files that replace the locked/unlocked hex code but when flashing it also gives me an error (cannot find the target file to be modified)

any other suggestions?

When I turn it on, the android logo and oneplus ogo appear once, then phone vibrates again and reloads both the oneplus and the cyanogen logo., then boots onto twrp recovery. Getting pretty desperate now and was wondering if this cold possibly help me in any way or could I risk loosing recovery TWRP which is the only thing that separates me from a full on hard brick :)

thanks for your time, Mike
[ONE General] majesticpark:
Hi

You are actually in a better position than the people with hard bricked devices in this thread. You are able to get into TWRP recovery and that is all you need.

Download a copy of CM12 or 13 nightly zip plus Gapps from opengapps.org and flash in that order. You will have a working phone. It's easier to flash from an usb otg than trying to push files from your computer. Let me know if that doesn't work.
[ONE General] miguelag24:
Thanks for replying majesticpark. However, when i try to flash the CM12 or CM13 nightly zip I get the following error:

"error flashing zip '/sdcard/firmwareCM12xxetc.zip'

updating partition details...

E: Unable to mount '/data'

...done

E: Unable to mount storage"

I have flashed different ROMS in the past and had no problems. What I think happened is that the zip file did not download properly/was incomplete and when I flashed that file it corrupted some important files. I have no idea how the bootloader got locked as well.

I transfered the file using ADB push although I doubt that helps

Either my storage partitions are corrupted or the locked bootloader does not allow the operation?

Thanks

EDIT: FIXED. For anyone googling and with a similar problem, the fix involved the following:

- Wiping everything via TWRP as it was corrupt, just keep TWRP

- Unlocking bootloader via a zip file found on the oneplus one forum. (make/exf...etc)

- Re-rooting device by flashing SU to enable root access to install OS/ROM

- Flash ROM

Problem : BOOTLOOP, So my phone went into this awful bootloop after it suddenly switched off while i was using snapchat! I was having such a pleasant conversation! (not related to the problem whatsoever). I was on cm12.1 i guess when i got the phone and then i rooted it and went to cm13 nightly sultan rom! it worked awesome till 2 months or so! but i didn't get a backup of cm13, i had backup of cm12 on twrp, but i moved it to my pc while flashing cm13! so now i dont have it in my phone!

Things I've tried:

1. flashing cm12,cm13,cm11 via twrp.

2. flashing cm11,cm12 via fastboot.

3. flashing cm13 nightly sultan rom back hoping it would be back!

4. I used the Bacon root toolkit app! downloaded cm12.1 via the same app and tried flashing but it didnt work!

5. I tried the color OS version of unbricking or exiting the bootloop, by zyxxeli on XDA , and once again no luck!

6. I tried flashing using the msm tool! still not even an ounce of luck!

7. then i tried flashing cm11 stock rom 64gb for opo that didnt work either.

8. i even tried the Brickloop/audio FX FC/EFS corrupt method on XDA by markbencze, and by now you can guess the result! still NADA! fcking no luck! it doesnt seeem to wanna get outta the boot-****ing-loop! so please for the love of almighty zeus and medusa and whatever Gods there are somebody please show the way, show me the light at the end of the tunnel! please i beg of you! its been almost a week n half now! i am going crazy sick without my opo! i cant insta, i cant fb, i cant 9gag, i cant whatsapp, i cant hike! i cant fukcign watch youtube, i cant do anything!

I AM DESPERATE FOR HELP! And this forum wont let me create new thread cuz i need 5 replies , which i,

obviously dont seem to have! and lastly dont look at the english and the typos, cuz i fcking goddamn can speak smooth english! this is all the desperation talking! THANKS IN ADVANCE! YOUR HELP WILL BE ETERNALLY APPRECIATED!

And I've noticed Heisenberg in almost all the opo posts! and since i loved breaking bad , i hope we share same interests! well by now you know that I am trying to butter you up! :rolleyes::fingers-crossed: anyways breaking bad kinda sucked , season 3 was awfully slow other seasons were pretty good!

driver isssues - used win 10 Surface and all is well

Hi,

just a quick note to say that I could not get this to work on my Windows 8.1 laptop. I tried turning of driver signing, 3 of the 4 USB ports (didn't try the USB3.0 port). I could see the device connected in device manager as xxxUSB_BULK, but the recovery tool would never pick it up.

I decided to try it on my Surface Pro 3 running Windows 10 - worked straight away. The single USB port on the Surface is USB3.0, perhaps that made a difference.

cheers

[ONE General] paperheart:
holy **** this worked!

I've updated the OS to CM 13 and tried to root + flash TWRP. After both these are done, it can't to boot into the OS and got stuck on the CM boot screen. I went ahead and flashed CM recovery in fastboot and planned to unroot. I managed to get into CM recovery and tried to flash the incremental update of CM 13 (snapshot) and ended up with error as it's only incremental then I decided to flash an older romto revert back to CM 12. For some odd reason after wiping + flashing, my OPO can't even boot through the bootup screen. I then tried going into fastboot and tried to adb all the partitions manually based on an instruction I saw on another site. Things went downhill from here. After encountering some error that a few of the 'important' of partitions can't be copied, I restarted my OPO and after that it can't even boot into recovery/fastboot anymore. This whole process took me about 4 hours towards bricking.

Glad this tool exist and it fixed everything up right away.

Thanks for everything!!
