Passwords are specific to the zip files. It is unlikely you will find a password to this in general. I'm guessing you got this because of a ticket through OnePlus and a Tech Support will be helping you. Your best bet is to see if you can somehow record that password when the Tech Support copy/paste it so you can replicate it. Either that or wait for someone to do this.

Go to Device Manager, right click the device, click Update Driver software...,browse my computer, let me pick from list, and look for OnePlus drivers.

Sometimes windows does not update the device and only keeps the software in a folder with other drivers. This can be because of numerous things.

This will unlikely help you with that issue. Once a IMEI is gone, it is gone. Some phones will have miracles where if you flash a certain ROM the IMEI will come back. It is not the case with this phone, so far. I actually had this issue with this type of phone when I had bricked my OPX before these files were available to me. I had tried flashing so many things that somehow the IMEI got erased. I had to RMA my phone.

Thank you so much for this guide :)

hey i think i just massed up with bootloader as i accidently disable it inside developer setting and then i enable it again.

so when i try to flash recovery using adb its say my phone is still locked. try to unlocked again using adb but not working.

i try this method and looks like my device cannot detect by the tools after ive done installing the driver.
[OnePlus X General] killacam1989:
Yeah.... lol
[OnePlus X General] kernelguy:
Saved my device...

Thanks so much for the guide. My OPX was stuck in a boot loop. The guide helped me recover it. I am now setting up the device again.

Need help

hi, my phone is dead and even with this guide it don't turn on. It isn't recognized in my computer and even when i press the power button it only blinks a rede light. It was on 50% battery when i let it and go to sleep
[OnePlus X General] jrexceeder:
Hi all,

is anyone still following this thread?

I bought an OPX second hand (with a previous google account already on it). Seller told me she did a hard reset etc, so I left without checking. Unfortunately, by not checking I missed the google verification process and I now get the well known message "verify your account which was previously used".

As I was new to all this stuff, the seller changed her password so using her account info currently doesn't help me.

Couple of questions:

1) I read that you could "bypass" this by "unbricking" the OPX?

2) Is it possible to do this with a fully working OPX? I can go into fastboot mode, recovery mode, normal mode...

3) Is the process different? Because holding the volume up button when the device is turned off does not seem to work...

All the help is appreciated thanks very much!

EDIT: Could I just run the MSM Tool?
[OnePlus X General] Ken715:
hi, I got my oneplus X bricked after flashing an ota update which is the one that is going to fix the corrupted image. I can still see the oneplus logo every time I boot my phone up after a few seconds it vibrate and gotten me into recovery mode. I followed every steps that you have mentioned but unfortunately the MSMDownloadToolV2.0 shows red colour only at no 12 saying Sahara 通信失败, really hope that you can help find a solution to this problem. Sorry for broken english

[OnePlus X General] Synthio:
Device Manager -> Right Click device-> Update Driver Software... -> Browse my computer -> Let me pick... -> OnePlus drivers should be on the list if you installed them.
[OnePlus X General] jimmy_135:
But I do that it's shows ur driver is already updated
[OnePlus X General] Nu9:
I have the same problem, my laptop don't recognize opx when I connect. Even with OP support and the installation of drivers, don't work. Unfortunately I will send it to repare or replace
[OnePlus X General] Nu9:

[OnePlus X General] jimmy_135:
facing same problem and i cant download the qualcomm one plus x driver
[OnePlus X General] Gruntje:
Howdy,

I have a problem... I was trying to install Exodus custom rom for my Oneplus X but it didn't boot. Then I noticed the "Required firmware" line in the XDA thread so I clicked it, downloaded it and installed it via TWRP 3.0.1. After that my phone isn't doing anything anymore. Only a black screen with some vibration after long pressing... Apperantly the link was for the Oneplus One firmware upgrade. So now my pc recognizes the Oneplus X as "Marshall London Bootloader Interface". I don't know how to fix this. Any help would be very much appreciated.

If I keep (long) pressing the power button it keeps vibrating (repeatedly every 8 seconds or so). And my PC always recognizes it instantly, so it doens't feel like it's turning off at all.

I also tried forcefully installing the Qualcomm driver, but I get an error saying it doesn't contain a compatible driver for this device.
[OnePlus X General] dzp:
So, you get bricked OnePlus X and need:

I believe, that entire series uses the same control mechanism in this part.

You needs to achieve, that bricked OPX should be detected as QUALCOMM-HS USB Diagnostics xxxx.

By my opinion, here it is required to comply all the installation steps exactly.

So, you have completed successfully Step 1. Downloads, right?

According to Step 2, what windows version you use?

Does you completed Step 3

, successfully?

So, you need achieve to turn off phone completely now. Otherwise, perhaps, fully discharge the battery to force phone quit from the current state.
[OnePlus X General] Gruntje:
Thank you for the quick reply.

I did steps 1 and 2 yes. But I feel like step 3 (turning off phone) is failing. I will try to let it discharge.

You think the phone will automatically turn on if I connect it to pc after discharging?
[OnePlus X General] dzp:
Yep, alright, buddy :).

It what win version? Probably, it is not bad to try procedure completely on other pc, or virtual machine with other win version, to check, that is no host configuration problem, but phone state. You have a lil more complex problem, that in Guide, because you can not switch phone to Power off state. So it is need to move more carefully and think twice.

Agree. That is the problem, needs to solve.

Unfortunately, I have no exact information, in what state phone will try to go, after achieving critical charge level, from something close to circle loop state. But, if you does not find solve - phone will discharge in any case, at our lifetime. Fortunately, we not use nuclear batteries yet. So, you can try connect something light to phone USB - probably, it could accelerate discharge, if current state let give energy to outside. You can set inline some USB mini voltage current tester to check discharging, also. Anyway, while discharging, try to power off phone manually.

That's the question. It depends :) the real state after discharging. Probably, state after discharging, can let switch to Power off state. I think, you need real Power off state finally.
[OnePlus X General] Gruntje:
I'm happy to say my phone is working again :D

After I didn't touch my phone for approx. 30 hours and tried to connect it to PC, my PC (win10) didn't recognize it instantly so I figured it would finally be out of juice. Frome hereone I was able to continue the guide and it was a very easy process.

Thank you for taking the time to respond and of course for this great guide!
[OnePlus X General] dzp:
You did it. :highfive:

And thanks for the description of recovery.
[OnePlus X General] Vaas_FC:
i too got into the problem due to same as what you did and man seriously a big thanks to [MENTION=5641921]Naman Bhalla[/MENTION] for this tutorial i got my phone back into life again

Once again thanks for this phone saver tutorial :)
[OnePlus X General] nahiachz:
Hi, im trying to unbrick my opx with this tutorial and everything seems to go ok... drivers ok, flashtool verification ok, but when restarting devices it goes stuck in bootanimation. It start to optimize apps but does not start SO, simply restart de bootanimation.

If i try to do something via fastboot this is what i get:

target reported max download size of 1073741824 bytes

sending 'modem' (58561 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.837s]

writing 'modem'...

FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot flash or erase)

finished. total time: 1.839s
[OnePlus X General] dzp:
I don't understand exactly, how you get current state. Anyway.

You can see here, that Device not unlocked.

What we can see in Guide:

So, I think, you need repeat all procedure again correctly.

Then:
[OnePlus X General] nahiachz:
OK, but, how i cant unlock oem if i OS doesnt starts?
[OnePlus X General] Kiras_PL:
Hi i stuck on Step 5 :- Go to device manager in your PC, find the new "QUALCOMM-HS USB Diagnostics xxxx" device or something like this (It must be Unknown Devices as QHUSB_BULK or under COMs and Ports as Qualcomm xxxx). Update its driver in property page using the Qualcomm driver provided (for 32bit windows, select x86 folder; for 64bit windows, select x64 folder).

My device is visible only as "Unknown device" in Universal Serial Bus controllers and i can't change the drivers. BTW i disabled Driver Signature Enforcement - im using windows 7. What can i do now ? :<
[OnePlus X General] dzp:
In other words, you need repeat all steps, starting at least from >

Step 3 :- Press the power button for 40 seconds to turn off the phone.

If anyone around have other advice for you, we can waite such advice.

---------- Post added at 22:53 ---------- Previous post was at 22:08 ----------

Unfortunately, recovery procedure designed for m$ w...s family undersystems.

With high probability, problem on w...s side of procedure in current case.

The main reasons are:

1. Your mistakes in preparations of recovery configuration - less probability,

2. errors and failures in the your existing w...s configuration - more probability.

So, I can recommend:

Setup new w..s, as variant - of different version, on different host. Next check - whether your device is determined, or determination error is maintained.

Or you can try:

test recovery configuration in virtual machine with several different w..s versions. For example, you can download official prepared images for a virtual machines from here.
[OnePlus X General] nahiachz:
I repeat the process from step 3 but if i hold de power button 40 secs, and over, what hapen is that the devices power off and power constantly... so im in the same point :/
[OnePlus X General] dzp:
Looks like you in same situation, that we resolved starting from here.
[OnePlus X General] nahiachz:
ok, looks like if you leave the device discharge at all it can works. Ill leave the devices without charging a couple of days and try...
[OnePlus X General] dzp:
Yep, such method helped at least in one case. Anyway, you need to achieve real Power off phone state.
[OnePlus X General] nahiachz:
It works! Thanks for the support and patience!
[OnePlus X General] dzp:
Heh ), it is for me? :D You welcome, buddy. You did it.
[OnePlus X General] :
But when I hold the volume button down my device is not detected by the computer. Held it as long as 2 minutes. What can I do? I urgently need some help
[OnePlus X General] Udeepn:
I am stuck at the last step. It just says "Fire hose Communication Handshake Failed" and has been like that for almost 30mins. Please help asap.
[OnePlus X General] dzp:
You need to make sure, that the phone is switched off. Read my answers above, please.

The last step is:

Specify, in what part of this step, there is a message "Fire hose Communication Handshake Fayled", please.
[OnePlus X General] Udeepn:
In step 7, where it says to press the start. I pressed the start and after a few seconds it says firehose communication handshake failed.
[OnePlus X General] dzp:
Looks like, something was wrong in previous steps. Or it is something misconfigured in host system. Or both.

Distantly we can search for issue long time. So, for start, I can recommend to try repeat all procedure from zero on different host system, with new pure m$ w...s configuration.

[OnePlus X General] aredpanda:
Anyone has a more recent version of the rom to flash via MSM, or can I just use the rom file provided by Oneplus?
[OnePlus X General] dzp:
Doesn't heard about such.

If you get bricked device - it is not good situation, already. So, do not try experimenting. You will just increase probability of issue.

Just restore device by instruction.

After successful restore you can set any new rom on it and make with it anything :) again from fresh.
[OnePlus X General] aredpanda:
You didn't understand my question. There are more recent versions of the *.rar file that was used to create this thread, containing the latest OOS update, leaving you no extra OTAs the download and apply after reseting you phone with the MSM download tool.

I understand your advice, and it makes sense for someone who would be just trying stuff out, but it's not the case. Furthermore I achieved what I was aiming for by doing a fresh OOS 2.2.0 installation then extracting the necessary partitions via fastboot to use the most recent images with the flashing tool provided here.
[OnePlus X General] dzp:
Probably, yes. English is not my natural language. So, it is sometimes difficult for me to understand something. So, sorry, for misunderstanding.

Sorry, buddy, there... you mean, where ) ?

It is nice, buddy. If I understand you right :) .
[OnePlus X General] Udeepn:
I tried everything, on different PCs with Win 7, 8 and 10. I also tried letting the phone discharge for about 48 hours.

I got to the step where my device is recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, but when I run the MsmDownload Tool V2, I get a error saying, Firehouse Communication Handshake Failed.

Is there any thing that I might have done wrong or anything that you can help me with.

BTW what is "m$ w...s configuration"
[OnePlus X General] dzp:
Your efforts deserve respect.

Does you use always the same, once downloaded Oneplus Qualcomm Driver.rar and OnePlus_14_A.04.rar archieve files?

I think, It is not possible, that downloaded files contain mistakes, because you unpack them successful. But, just in case, post here, please, the md5 for your Oneplus Qualcomm Driver.rar and OnePlus_14_A.04.rar.

If you have not done it yet, read all this topic completely, please.

Have you tried to use OPX_UnBrick_Mini_By_Naman_Bhalla.zip from this post?

You have the will, so we will continue to try to revive your phone.

I do not like to say these words, but it is

ms windows

:) .

Btw, please, read, all this theme [GUIDE] Mega Unbrick Guide for A Hard Bricked OnePlus X, also. There discusses "Firehose Communication Handshake Failed", but I doesn't look on it closely yet.
[OnePlus X General] tet-bundy:
Nice post!

Hope i'll never get into that situation though
[OnePlus X General] steven6980:
Thank you very much, :) it worked for me. Altought the mini version didn't work at first. I didn't unlock oem before doing a stupid thing (applying a no compatible theme with Layers Manager to Oxygen), so I was block to flash recovery and ROM.

Oneplus x bricked

I just tried flashing Flyme os on my fully rooted oneplus x and after completing the flash i pressed reboot and it just went black nothing showed up on the screen, i tried to reboot into the recovery by holding down volume down and power button but all it did was vibrate and nothing appeared on the screen at all i tried plugging it into my computer it detected it but only as a bootloader driver nothing else. so im confused on what i should do now or wether its a soft brick or a hard brick. please help
[OnePlus X General] MeAgainstMyNafs:
So I'm currently in this situation:

I've followed all of the steps & had some issues with getting the phone to show up as "Unknown Device" on Device Manager.

Thankfully I've managed to finally do it & an FYI for those in a similar situation, I booted in to TWRP recovery & powered down from there (i.e. Reboot > Power Off).

I then held the volume up button for a ten count, connected the phone & then held the volume up button until it said usb device unrecognised (had to hold for at least 30 seconds).

Anyway, now that I've got it to show as that I now have another issue of not being able to install the Qualcomm driver.

Whenever I go in to update the driver it either gives me the window for "the best driver software for your device is already installed" or if I go to pick manually & click "have disk", I navigate to the relevant folder, click "OK" & then am always greeted with:

Some advice on this would be greatly appreciated as I've not been able to update my phone or change the ROM for at least 6 months (maybe more).

Thanks in advance for any help.

P.S: I'm currently using a Windows 7 machine

Stuck on boot screen

Hi! I had a problem with the one plus x being stuck on the screen with the 1+ logo. I followed the instructions word-to-word using the mini recovery tool and i got Download Complete. I unplugged the phone, rebooted it but the problem was STILL there :(

When i tried to update qualcomm drivers i was told that my device already had the latest installed drivers. Phone shows me the boot screen and stays there. I've no idea what to do now, please Help!!

Edit: I'm gonna download the ~800 MB recovery file and see if it makes a difference.

Final Edit: Issue resolved! I feel like such a fool, ofcourse the mini file didn't completely fix it. The 800MB file had the ROM (system.img) needed to actually run the device! Phones up and running again Thanks a lot mate, you are a life saver!
[OnePlus X General] AlexG82:
OPX wont switch on after draining to 0%

Hi,

Firstly, thanks very much for posting this guide! Unfortunately, it has not worked for me and I really appreciate any help or suggestions.

The issue with my OPX started when the battery drained to 0% after being left overnight without charging (I won't let that happen again if I ever fix it). The next day and since then it has not switched on and will not charge, the only signs of life are the charging light coming on but then straight off again. I have tried the mini tool and I get as far as running the MSMDownloadTool, this seems to work OK and says download complete but then it seems to run through the same downloads again, it repeats this continually. How long should I leave the tool running for (I have left it for 30-60mins)? Has anyone had this problem? Eventually I waited for the process to finish and hit STOP before it started up again but the phone still does not charge or wake up.

Any advice on this would be very welcome and much appreciated.

Thanks,

Alex
[OnePlus X General] NiteFyre:
You mean the red light that blinks once then goes straight off right?

Try pressing the volume up+volume down+power button together. In my case, that's how i was able to get to the recovery screen. From there u need to have a ROM that can be reloaded onto the phone. Recommend using the bigger file posted here, the official OOS files on the website didn't work via adb sideload.

You mentioned that the problem occurred after the battery drained out completely. I haven't had a problem with that; my battery drains out atleast twice a week. If it is a problem with the h/w itself, maybe claim the warranty from Oneplus?
[OnePlus X General] AlexG82:
Thanks for the tips NiteFyre. Yeah, the red light just blinks once and then goes off. I tried the other suggestions in other blogs and the oneplus FAQ's but had not heard of that 3 button combo before. I'll give it a try later after I've finished trying the 'charge for 24 hours then leave uncharged for 12 hours' method which has worked for some OPO users.

It's not the first time i've let the battery drain out on the OPX and it was never an issue before except this time. I tried oneplus support and they weren't able to remote into my PC (although I doubt they could have fixed it that way anyway) so I now have an RMA request to return it. I'm reluctant to do that though as I have photos and files not backed up which I'll surely lose :crying:

Softbricked

Hello guys I have a Softbricked OPX........and no TWRP installed.....I have downloaded stock oxy os frm Oneplus.net........I want a step wise guide to Recover/Repair my device........please.....
[OnePlus X General] :
A massive massive THANK YOU to Naman Bhalla!

I was able to recover my OPX after following the instructions (using the full recovery rather than the mini kit). It didn't work for me on Windows 10 as my system would not allow me to update the drivers (and I had rebooted to ignore driver signature enforcement) but luckily I had an old Windows XP laptop and that worked perfectly.

Again.... THANK YOU!! :D
[OnePlus X General] brunordetoledo:
For those who are in trouble: make sure to check "Run as administrator" and set "Compatibility Mode" to "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)".

They are on the "Compatibility" section on the properties window. (Right click -> Properties).

That's how I resolved my "Sahara problem".
[OnePlus X General] Fap4k:
Was your computer detect your device?

If yes then you have to update driver for QUALCOM_HS*** and run recovery as a administer.
