I first tried to use the easy installer, but it just looped when downloading the os too the phone, so i started doing the the manual build.
I bought this phone just for this purpose, and it took me one night to completely brick it. Everything went smooth, following the detailed guide step by step. Until i flashed it, and rebooted it, and got this recovery screen. (See pictures)
Here i was supposed too chose the the recovery file provided, but iam not able too. And iam not able to use the touchscreen… I have tried OTG cable, and can do some simple stuff, but iam not able to put in th PIN it want me to put it on to reset it… And the other options doesnt really do much, i added some of the debugging log, if that tells anyone anything…If u would have a look?
So what do i do now? I did everything just as it said, this was the T Build as it was the newest android version.
Edit: As a new user i am only able to add one picture in each post. yippey! Guess i choose this then: Before this, it gives me a warning my phone is unlocked and is unsafe to use(It also gave me a pop up one time with a prompt telling me to go to some site to get it fixed) But it never appeared again.
Was this brand new, refurbished or “pre-owned” ?
Being asked for a PIN to Format data looks a bit like Factory Reset Protection. It is essential to remove all accounts especially any Google account from the phone. If Pre-owned the seller may be able to help.
Is this menu not driven by Volume and Power keys ?
YELLOW: Warning screen for LOCKED devices with custom root of trust set
ORANGE: Warning screen for UNLOCKED devices
RED (eio): Warning screen for dm-verity corruption
RED (no os found): No valid OS found
It was pre owned. And yes it is powered by up and down volume keys, but I cant write a pin with It. Only navigate the menues.
And yes it seems similar, it seemed everything went fine until i used(flashed) the instantnoodles recovery file, but i read later if it is the newest android i should maybe try the lineage os recovery files instead.
I just have no idea how too do this now when I cant turn the phone back on. How can i unbrick it?
And i dont think the old owner have any idea how to fix this, doubts he have the knowledge
Does this debug tell u anything.wish i could upload more pictures at a time
Can you use the menu to get back to fastboot ? That will be the starting position for your next move.
We don’t know it is really bricked, the recovery is still probably original and system is compromised. So put simply those two booting methods are out of use. It is all down to getting back to fastboot.
The point of failure is likely the point where you have to
Now reboot into recovery to verify the installation:
With the device powered off
hold Volume Down + Power
This instruction is unhelpful for first timers. If you allow the phone to do a standard shutdown then reboot to recovery on most / many phones the new, Custom recovery will be wiped; the phone seems to try to preserve the original.
You need to try something like, leave fastboot mode with Volume Down + Power, then as the screen goes black you lift your fingers from the keys for a moment, press again, and relax after a few seconds or a vibrate.
If you don’t see e-Recovery you try again, maybe you find the key presses a slight variation on the above (which seems correct for OnePlus One).
