Hi Guys
Another rooting/flashing noob here that's messed up his N7 sorry
I know there's other threads with similair issues but they all advise fixes involving using adb connection and usb debugging which I cannot do (explained below)
My device will turn on, it goes to the google logo with the green start icon, I can select and go into bootloader and recovery, if I press start it says booting failed in the upper left corner and will go no further.
My device is plugged in via usb, i have the latest rookit 1.5.5, and sdk installed etc, i also have the naked drivers and the factory images from google on my pc.
The machine came with 4.1.2 installed (nakasi-jzo54k).
To mess it up, somewhere in between updating to 4.2, rooting and unrooting it, and flashing it i must have done something wrong but being a happy button bashing noob I don't know what exactly...
And yes I also didn't make a backup of any kind because well I'm just a moron and lesson well learnt.
So yeah, I have no adb connection, can't go into debuging mode and it won't boot.
Does anybody know if there is anyway I can restore my tablet please? Any help would be hugely appreciated!
Many thanks

If you got half way through rooting, what has happened to your ADB?
Try the option "Return to stock and Flash stock image" try that.
What message does ADB give you etc?

Hi thanks
Well when I run 'adb devices' in dos the device does not come up, blank etc
but if in the advanced utilities section of the rookit it will reboot it and say connected etc when i try to boot/flash image for bootloader, system, recovery etc but always goes back to google logo and won't boo up, can still get into bootloader and recovery though
i fully rooted it and unrooted it, i tried to flash 4.1.1 to see if i could thats when this all started
if i try flash stock + unroot option (device is on/normal) sub option the rootkit tries to check adb status and says not connected etc which makes sense as dos won't detect it, if this helps in device manager its coming up as...
samsung android phone
android bootloader interface
so i that driver in rootkit to manually install the naked drivers in device manager and it will say they are up to date etc
so the advanced utilities section for boot/flash image will communicate but no other.....
flash stock root used to detect it but even then in dos it would give me the 'too many links error'
I just hope there is a solution.... and i hope all that makes sense sorry
Cheers

Have you added ADB to your envioronment varibles?
If not,
Control Panel -> Advanced -> Envioronment Variables, then add the path to your SDK folder to it, after the other variables (Variables are separated using ; )
Also, try to install the drivers, using Wug's method, thats THE ONLY ONE that worked for me, unistall anything to do with nexus before hand.
Goto Device manager, find anything that involves Nexus or Android.
Then Start the "Full Driver Method" on Wugs kit.
This should sort your driver issue.
Then the Nexus should be visible through ADB.
PS- Your adb isnt broken if its accepting the commands.
The reason your device isnt listed, is the Drivers.
You have driver issues, so try the what I just stated and let me know .

The first step in the full driver guide in wugs kit is to enable usb debugging which i cannot do though as it won't power on.......
I have added the environmental variabes before yes sorry, qbkings utube vids showed me how to do that
Just tried these steps
toolkit home screen, flash stock + unroot (softbricked bootloop)
then naksaki 4.2 jzo54k, auto download and extract.
it got to dos stage and i get 'Failed bootloader is locked'
??? thanks again

Issue Fixed I think, he PM'd me.
Unlocked but... what do I do now?
Newbie but old or old but newbie - With the need and not just a curious want, to be able to "rename" my Nexus 7 v1 so I can see a friendly name in my old DD-WRTed Linksys GL, I finally had enough gumption to try rooting this tablet.
So, I was excited that when I used Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.8 on my Nexus 7 v1, following the "easy and visual" steps, I actually managed to unlock this device. But when it came to the "root" part, the ADB repeatedly failed to recognize this tablet. I tried all the suggested steps and remedies, but so far, nada.
The tablet now boots past the white "Google" with an unlocked icon at the bottom, but nothing beyond thea big white "right-arrow" on the screen. I can choose a Wi-Fi signal to connect to, but that's it.
This is my first tablet and I have been playing with it for the past 3 months. I know people here are more than willing to help, so thank you in advance.
BTW, I am not that young to spend hours way past sleeping time to scour for answers and piece it together.

This worked for me...
Download the image file for your device which you can find at the Google Developer's site
Copy the uncompressed files from the image archive to the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK
Use the up and down volume on the device to get into bootloader mode. Connect the device to a usb port.
Open a command prompt in the platform tools folder and run the flash-all batch file to load the image to your device. After a few minutes I got the happy X logo to get me back to a blank slate.
I had an unlocked and rooted Nexus 7 (2012) with Android 4.2. After on OTA-Update I have an unlocked but _rooted_ Nexus 7. I read a lot about "waiting for device", but can't get it work anymore to connect. The device is reset and contains a fresh install without any added data.
I tried to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44179882
Step 2: Reboot the Nexus 7 into fastboot mode using the combination of volume up, volume down and power buttons
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can't get into fastboot with 3 buttons, but with Power and Vol- I see:
Product-Name - tilapia
Variant - tilapia
HU Version - PR
Bootloader Version - 4.23
Baseband Version - 1231_0.18.0_0409
Serial Number - ....
Signing - not signed yet
Lock state - unlocked
Maybe I am doing something wrong then, when I try to flash.
I see start, when I press the power button the N7 starts
When I change to recovery mode, I see "waiting for device" (USB debugging is on, the cable worked to unlock it)
Since I have an unlocked device, I tried only from Ubuntu 12.04 as root:
Code:
~# fastboot-linux flash recovery CF-Auto-Root-tilapia-nakasig-nexus7.img
Before I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44179882 I flashed recovery-clockwork-6.0.0.6-grouper.img
I could also install SuperSU 1.51, but root doesn't work and I found no way to install an updated SuperSU 1.51
BTW, I didn't know, that the grouper.img is the wrong one for my 3G device, UMTS worked fine with 4.2
try using nexus root toolkit. I had rooted prior to 4.3. when I updated, i just had to press one button to reroot(if you didn't use nexus root toolkit to begin with then you may need to go thru the driver setup)

Where do I get the drivers? Couldn't find a link there.
Edit: Since I have to go to a Windows PC, I downloaded the windows-programm only on my linux pc, it looks like the drivers are included in Nexus Root Toolkit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQhyerPfGes
I tried a lot with Windows XP 32bit and Windows 7 bit, but always I got "adb device was not found", but I saw a popup on the windows desktop with the Nexus after I attached the USB-cable. With Win7 I tried drivers 1-3, with XP driver 1.
With Linux something works:

There is a button in nrt to download and install drivers also to test to make sure they are working.
This forum is for the new 2013 Nexus 7 named Flo. You stated you have the 2012 verson...might want to go to the 2012 Nexus 7 forum here for advice.
On the 2013 Nexus 7 I use the volume button in bootloader/fastboot mode to switch to recovery, then select it with the power button to boot into the recovery you just flashed to the device. From there you can install Supersu (if you have downloaded the Supersu zip file to your device before hand).

Oh, I am sorry to be in the wrong forum. What I found out in the menatime, that the stock-recovery is flashed everytime after a reboot, so there is no menu to flash zip-files after a new start.

I know it was in the wrong forum and all, but found something odd. I had a lot of trouble due to the same thing, waiting for device when trying fastboot. Just in case anyone arrives here: When you see the screen with the Start on top and FASTBOOT MODE in small red letters with the product specs, you're exactly where you should, no need to choose any option.
In my case, the fastbood mode doesn't work from linux (Kubuntu 13.10). It's just not detected, it makes no usb plugged sound, no icon on the tray...nothing. After some headaches just decided to boot to windows and try again. Fastboot mode, exactly as described, plug it to USB, and there you go, the "bop-beep" sound of usb plugged. I knew then it was gonna work on Windows.

Thanks for your contibutive post. However I got there through google searches, that kept directing me to this thread. I imagined more people would get there searching for answers not finding them. By the way, the thread is from august, not so old.
install PDAnet on your device .. follow procedure of installation carefully ( should be installed on both pc and phone ) and when it was installed .when u enter your bootloader your phone will be recognize by your pc and wait for device will gone .
the method tested by me and took me one month two years ago to find .. on my g nexus first try to unlock .
PDAnet isntall drivers and everything you need to use adB commands ... if it helped give me thanks and let me know by pm .

*** I've been receiving many requests and PMs from members asking to help them unbrick their device. Please note that I no longer own this device (and even if I did I would not purposely brick it just to reproduce your problem), therefore I am unable to help out beyond this tutorial. ***
Hello,
First some background and credits:
There are a few ways to brick a phone. Sometimes it's lack of experience, sometimes it's an accidental thing, sometimes there just isn't an explanation for what went wrong... (share your experience here, if you wish). For me, I owned my OPO for about 4 hours before things went wrong. First thing I did was I rooted it and installed TWRP. After creating a nandroid backup of the stock image I installed my favorite custom ROM and restored all my apps with TiBu. Everything was great and configured just the way I wanted it. I then wiped my old phone (Nexus 4), installed a new ROM and got it all ready for my wife. She was so excited to get rid of her GNex and move up to the N4. But then, for whatever reason, I opened an app on my OPO that I used to manage, download, and install kernels with. It came up with "there is a new kernel update!" and I instinctively clicked on "Install". 10 seconds later my phone was bricked. Nothing came on the screen, no fastboot, no recovery, nothing to boot to, no way to send data to and from it. The second the screen went black and the phone became lifeless I got that wretched feeling in my gut as I realized I just flashed a N4 kernel on my new OPO. Restoring the kernel management app with TiBu made it act like it's still running on my old phone, and in my excitement I didn't take a second to think things through...
I received a bit of consolation when a quick XDA search revealed that I am not the only dumbass to brick his phone this very way. I joined forces with some pretty smart and desperate people and tried different things, all described in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/wrong-kernel-black-screen-fastboot-adb-t2835696. Unfortunately it took us what seemed like many long weeks to figure it all out. Well, in the end a solution was found and I documented it in the the following post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55024864&postcount=136.
This was a few months ago, but I recently noticed many people continue to search for these directions and have problems finding them hidden among many pages and other threads, so I've decided to put this stand alone thread with these, now updated, directions.
Let me get one more thing straight, for the record. I did not find the way to unbrick the OPO. In fact I wasn't even the very first one to do it. It was a collective effort of few people who tried many different approaches and ideas, and I eventually documented these steps for others to follow. Being said, the following people deserve credit as well: @os_man, @rezor92, @Mnt-XDA. If I am forgetting other significant names and efforts, I apologize.
***CAUTION***
The following instructions are for hardware bricked devices ONLY and will not work on soft bricked devices. To determine whether your device is soft or hard bricked, click the button below:
Hardware brick
A hardware bricked OPO has nothing but a black screen (nothing ever comes on the screen, not even a boot logo), it might vibrate when a power button is pressed and held for 20 seconds, has no Recovery partition, no adb mode, and no fastboot partition. The device might be detected in Linux and you might be able to even send commands to it. In Windows, the bricked OPO should be detected as QHSUSB_BULK USB. You might have a bricked OPO as a result of flashing a kernel meant for a different device (or a ROM meant for another device that included a kernel), tinkering with the boot logo or bootloader, or your attempt of unlocking the bootloader resulted in corrupting the boot partition.
Software brick
Please do not attempt to use these directions if your phone is soft bricked. A software bricked OPO is one that might be stuck in a bootloop, but has a working bootloader, recovery partition, fastboot, or adb. If you press the power button and images appear on the screen and you are able to enter fastboot mode (Power + VolUP) or recovery (Power + VolDOWN) then your device is soft bricked. This thread does not encompass soft brick recovery, the instructions below do not apply and will not work on these phones. Consult other threads for help on soft bricked devices.
If based on the above explanation of differences between soft and hard bricks you determined your device is hard bricked, here's what you will need to do...
1:
Download Color.zip from (mirror needed).
After downloading, unzip the archive on your computer.
2:
Next, you need proper Windows drivers. There are architectural differences between Windows XP and Windows 7/8, so follow the directions below that pertain to you. One quick note about the drivers: the installation and process is very simple and straightforward on Windows XP (I also tested successfully on Windows 2003), but proves to be quite a challenge when running on Windows 7 or 8. Over and over people report issues when attempting the unbrick procedure on Windows 7/8, some have more luck than others. Being said, if you have access to a Windows XP computer, I highly recommend that you use that. If you have no choice but to use a Windows 7 or 8 computer and have problems, please share them here and read others' experiences.
So first, by now you probably tried a few different things to fix your phone and you've already installed some drivers, including Qualcomm USB drivers for 9006 and 9008. My best advice is to uninstall the drivers you tried so far and use the ones listed below. Go to Device Manager, right click on the bricked USB device (QHSUSB_BULK or Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008) and go to Properties, click on Driver, then select Uninstall. Check the box to remove driver files, if prompted. Then:
2a:
Windows XP users:
You are in luck, driver installation is straightforward. Go to the extracted Color.zip folder and find Driver.iso. Extract Driver.iso. Inside the extracted folder find Setup.exe. Run Setup.exe to install the drivers. The installer is Chinese, but all you need to do is click through the prompts.
2b:
Windows 7 and Windows 8:
These operating systems block unsigned driver installations by default. Follow these steps (thanks @nag4pl for testing these):
Download and extract these Qualcomm 2012 drivers: (mirror needed).
Connect your bricked phone and let Windows do its thing.
Now something very essential you need to do here is to execute two commands to allow you to install unsigned drivers for QHUSB_BULK. Click on Start Menu > Type cmd.exe > Right Click and Run as Administrator.
In the CMD window type in the following commands (hit enter after each):
Code:
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
Code:
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
After both the commands should run successfully, restart your computer.
You can now proceed to install unsigned drivers from the file you downloaded. Open Device Manager, you should be seeing ugly yellow warning under other devices for QHUSB_BULK. Right click on the name and select Update Driver Software > Browse my Computer for driver software. For driver software location provide the path where you have extracted Qualcomm 2012 drivers you downloaded and make sure 'Include Subfolders' is checked. Proceed through all the installation prompts ignoring any warnings.
3:
Once you have the drivers straightened out, connect your bricked phone to the computer and start it up by holding VolUp + Power to about 10 seconds, and let the computer do its thing. Don't install drivers if they are not installed by itself. Instead launch Msm8974DownloadTool.exe as Administrator (right click on Msm8974DownloadTool.exe and select "Run as administrator") from the extracted Color.zip archive. It will scan all the COM ports and find the phone. That's the one line that looks different in the list. The list is just a list of your com ports and devices. If you unplug the phone and move it to another port, it will show your bricked phone on a different line.
Clicking on "Enum" just rescans the busses. Clicking the big square button in upper right corner scans the phone and reports what's good and what's not. It takes a minute for the scan to finish.
If you don't see your phone in the list of com devices, try unplugging/plugging in your phone a couple times, and rebooting it with VolUP + Power (hold 10 seconds). You will see it in Device Manager as well.
Once you see the phone in the list, click Start. You should see the programs start writing different files to the phone. Each time it writes a file you'll see a progress bar. Once you see this process happening, smile, you know you will be good to go... After all files are written, the com line with your device will turn green. You're good, unplug and reboot your phone. It will boot to ColorOS, the Chinese OS that comes on OPO.
4:
Optional Steps:
Your phone is no longer bricked. You now have a few options to get back to stock. The easiest way is to use a toolkit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/oneplus-one-toolkit-manudroid19-gui-t2807418, or you can flash an image manually by following directions from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541. Download the proper image zip and after extracting it, run the following commands in fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash dbi sdi.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash LOGO logo.bin
Make sure you have the proper image. I accidentally installed the 16GB version on my 64GB OPO first time and obviously didn't get 64GB of space.
That's about it. I think if people are still having problems then it's likely due to drivers, or Windows 7/8 issue.
Good luck! Share your experience here and let me know if I can improve this thread.

You should be able to boot to fastboot now. From there flash the cm11s image. I believe that "fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn" will fix the imei issue.
Also, unlocking bootloader does not void your warranty. Not with OPO.

Just to give one last try, flash color os modded zip from relic, i used 2.0.43 purezip and it gave me back my imei. Had the same issue as you last week. Be sure to flash TWRP 2.8.4.1 first and then flash color os.
Legit method.
Worked for me 2 weeks ago!
unbrick oneplus one, oppo 7
Hi there my friend, i had many works about unbricking solutions, a few of you know that, i have much easier and faster ways now, tested many times before i decided to share with you, it will be a long topic ( and my brain is messed up to sum them up clearly), as soon i can think clearly again, i start to write them, till then,
greetings from Istanbul to all geeks around thw world.
Ps: including restoring imei's if they got lost during this process.
Ps2: just a quick info abou imei, if your imei is "invalid" , this means your modem.bin (NON-HLOS.bin, baseband) is not inadaptable with your rom, just try flashing the right modem ( from fastboot), your imei will be back.
Ps3 : This will lead us to unbrick many Snapdragon's out there , not only oneplus one's or oppo's.
I had to use this tutorial some days ago.
There is also a modified .zip where the tool from OPO flashed CM11s instead of ColorOS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851
I had many driver problems and i had to use this driver from qualcomm so my win7 could recognize the phone.
Tutorial to install the driver:
1. Open your device manager (Start - right click on computer - properties - devices manager)
2. Press on power + vol up for like 10 sec until you see a device showing up (called QHSUSB_BULK)
3. Right click on this devices and click on "Update Driver Software" -> "Browse my computer for driver software" -> locate the Qualcomm 2012\fre\Windows7 8 or vista folder depending on your setup. Update the driver.

There is also a modified .zip where the tool from OPO flashed CM11s instead of ColorOS.

I had many driver problems and i had to use this driver from qualcomm so my win7 could recognize the phone.
Tutorial to install the driver:
1. Open your device manager (Start - right click on computer - properties - devices manager)
2. Press on power + vol up for like 10 sec until you see a device showing up (called QHSUSB_BULK)
3. Right click on this devices and click on "Update Driver Software" -> "Browse my computer for driver software" -> locate the Qualcomm 2012\fre\Windows7 8 or vista folder depending on your setup. Update the driver.

Back from Brick!!
First of all Thanks a lot to @netbuzz(for such a life saver guide on unbricking 1+1) and @michaeldepotter for providing link to download appropriate drivers.
Here is some good news by my findings and can be a quick help for those who do not have or can't get XP. You can use Windows 7 itself for the process mentioned by @netbuzz
All you need to do is:
1. Download drivers from link provided by @michaeldepotter : https://www.dropbox.com/s/vgujdut93m341qm/Qualcomm 2012.rar?dl=0
2. Extract to some folder under C: or whichever drive you prefer.
3. Connect your bricked phone after pressing Volume Up and Power key (make sure phone vibrates once)
4. Now that QHUSB_BULK should be detected and Windows will eventually try to download drivers from update, which you can skip and close the window.
Now something very essential you need to do here is to execute some commands so that you will be able to install unsigned drivers for QHUSB_BULK.
4a. Click On Start Menu > Type cmd.exe > Right Click and Run as Administrator (make sure you are running cmd as admin)
4b. Now type below command
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
>hit Enter
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
> hit Enter again
4c. Both the commands should run successfully, then restart your computer.
These steps are to disable driver sign verification. You must proceed to next steps only after above steps executed successfully.
After machine booted back to desktop
5. Now Open Device Manager by Start > Run > type "devmgmt.msc" and hit enter
6. You should be seeing ugly yellow warning under other devices for QHUSB_BULK.
7. Right click on the same > Update Driver Software > Browse my Computer for driver software
8. Now under driver software location, provide the path where you have extracted drivers which you downloaded from step 1. For me it was:
"C:\Users\Arjun\Downloads\Qualcomm 2012\fre\Windows7" - Remember to provide path only till windows 7 and make sure 'Include Subfolders' is checked.
9. Click next, and it should install driver for QHUSB_BULK. Click on Install Driver if you get any warnings.
Now your driver set-up for QHUSB_BULK in Windows 7 is complete and now you may proceed with the steps to run Msm8974DownloadTool as provided by netbuzz.
I have attached the screenshots for the same just for confirmation.
SuccessfullDriver - showing successful installation of driver
FlashInProgress - showing tool flashing the system image
FlashSuccess - showing green row indicating successful flash.
Once again, thanks a lot for all the guide and help. Hope this quick guide helps some one in need!!

Thanks for this Win7/8 workaround. I'll be adding your info to the OP.
Finally Unbricked mine...Drivers resolved on Win 7
netbuzz said:
Second note about drivers is that I had the worst time trying to get things to work on my Windows 7 computers. Both Windows 7 and 8 block unsigned driver installations by default. I've tried overwriting these settings in Windows and spent half a day messing with it, and I never got things to work properly. At first all looked good to go, but then latter steps were failing. You might have a better luck getting drivers to work on Windows 7 or 8 (I've heard some people did it), but if you have access to a Windows XP or 2003 machine, try it first, it should save you some major headache.
Once you have the drivers straightened out, connect your bricked phone to the computer and start it up by holding VolUp + Power to about 10 seconds, and let the computer do its thing. Don't install drivers if they are not installed by itself. Instead launch Msm8974DownloadTool.exe from the extracted Color.zip archive. It will scan all the COM ports and find the phone. That's the one line that looks different in the list. The list is just a list of your com ports and devices. If you unplug the phone and move it to another port, it will show your bricked phone on a different line.

I have used the override tool for certificates: DSEO - Driver signature enforcement overrider
to allow the unsigned drivers to be used and it worked like charm on windows 7 64 bit.
Also, I used the additional Qualcomm 2012 drivers and not sure which one might got picked in that mess :cyclops::cyclops:
Thanks!!
:good::good::angel::angel:
nevermind!
Well I managed to hardbrick my phone. I am download the ColorOS file from Mega at the moment. It's downloading at 30KB/s and will take around 6.5 hours. Is there any other source to download it from ? Thanks !
Also, about the driver ...
While I wait on the colorOS to download I want to clarify one more thing about the driver.
According to the screenshot of @nag4pl the driver should show as Qualcomm USB diagnostic 9006, while for me it shows as Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008. Is this going to be an issue ?
This is what I did. I uninstalled the default driver that came with windows 7. After that it failed to install the driver provided in this forum because it kept saying that device descriptor failed. I rebooted the phone several times and changed the USB ports and eventually windows detected it but AGAIN with the windows driver even though I had checked the option to delete the original driver while uninstalling it. Through the update driver option I managed to force it to install the unsigned driver.
Now I can see both the drivers under the update drivers option. Interestingly the default driver is a version ahead of the unsigned driver provided in this forum.
My only concern is that I see a different driver name compared to the one posted by @nag4pl
Thanks! Very useful for me!
That shouldn't be a problem. Not sure if that is specific to region, mine is India version phone.. Can some one clarify on this?

Yep. U can
How can we use the Cyanogen recovery to install supersu without unlocking the bootloader. OR
can any one create a .zip which can be flashed to unlock the bootloader from cyanogen recovery and then root it.
your help will be highly appreciated
I am also facing same problems. Phone is not detecting from PC in fastboot mode.
Hello, the bootloader needs to be unlocked in order to flash super user. The best and easiest way of unlocking the bootloader is using fastboot and a computer. Link mentioned in the previous post.

3)now right click on that yellow marked one ans select "update driver software" and click on 2nd option -----browse my computer for driver harware-----
4)now select the option "LET ME PICK FROM A LIST OF DEVICE DRIVERS ...." and list of drivers are displayed in the box available in PC

Put the rom on an USB stick, connect the stick to the phone with adapter, go into TWRP and flash the rom.
Easyest solution.

Worst case you can use Qfil.
But first disconnect all unneeded peripherals, and try another cable if possible. Go read the unbricked tested and working. Search the thread for my name, to everything you need in 3 or four posts

Go read the unbricking thread, it is going to take you days to read, understand, and finally unbrick it. If you are not seeing the device in the system manager of your computer ( Assuming you have a PC) then maybe you are actually bricked.
But, you own a phone that can be unbricked, no not a big deal. It can be resolved, the instructions in the unbricked tested and working thread are explicit go read it.
I create several how to's within that thread on unbricking, and have updated the links on the software tools needed. I have personally unbricked 7 leeco, and several others unbricked their phones by following the advice of everyone who contributed to the thread.
Everything you need and more is there that thread, waiting for you.
Go there get the files, read the instructions and soon you phone will work again. Do not download the qfil from the Original post...it doesn't work. I don't have the links to paste at the moment, nor the time to search for you Just use the thread search bar and type my name to get consolidated steps read through all of the posts, because its a progression.
There are three methods you can use to unbrick, the easiest method is probably Qfil, and Flash 2.0
Essentially you need the Qfil: le_zl1_qfil_ufs_fix , FlashOne2.0 files, go ahead and download prog_ufs_firehose_8996_ddr just in case. But it should download automatically. You need to follow the steps to get your computer ready to unbrick the phone...all in the thread instructions.
Once you do it once successfully, it will become easier with each try.

Ok i am starting now i will come back with the results
As i understand my phone is not bricked cause i can go into fastboot and REcovery. The problem is i dont have OS installed so i stuck at Leeco image. The other problem is when i connect the phone with the Pc this happens on device manager. So how i can make it to see the internal storage and put inside the phone the rom.

Install Google's USB ADB and Fastboot drivers.
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
Can you boot into download mode (I think it's volume down + power) and then connect to PC. After that, you should see the unknown device on device manager. Try to right-click on it and update drivers. On the next screen, select that you have drivers and you'd like to pick your own (not the Windows Update option!) Then select Manufacturer Google and Fastboot/ADB debugging option. Device might work in fastboot now, you can test by doing "fastboot devices". If that works, then you can install ROM via Fastboot.
If this doesn't work, you can revert changes by going into device manager and uninstalling the driver for that device.

Hi, sorry for the late reply.
Are you able to see these in screenshots? Between steps 2 and steps 3, you might need to select Android ADB or Android Device before you can see Google in the dropdown.
Maybe after these you might be able to see device in fastboot?
