Need Help Unbricking!!!!!!

Hey guys! So my phone is bricked. Not sure what I did wrong. I tried out several roms and decided to stick with Exodus. When I flashed Exodus I forgot to flash Gapps and now phone stays stuck on boot screen and can't boot into recovery but can get into fastboot mode.
What I've done so far:
I've checked to makes sure bootloader is still unlocked and it is.
From fastboot I've re-flashed TWRP using the fastboot flash recovery twrp.img command and it says it flashes successfully.
However, I still remain stuck on boot screen and when I use the volume+ power button it won't boot in TWRP recovery.
Is there a fastboot firmware zip for the OnePlus 2 that I can flash via fastboot the way we could with the OnePlus One?
I've tried all three methods of unbricking described in this thread https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/mega-unbrick-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-2.347607/
None of them have worked for me. First of all my driver does not come up as Qualcomm in device manager, it comes up as "RELINK HS-USB QDLOADER 9008." I have no idea what that's about. Secondly, when I run the Chinese recovery tool it does nothing, just sits there when I press start.
Helppppppppppp please

Try running "fastboot boot twrp.img" from fastboot.

Thanks for the reply! After some digging realized I was having some problems with my qualcomm driver and kept trying to install but stupid windows 8.1 was blocking it so I followed this guide and I am now unbricked. So for anyone who has the "Relink" instead of "Qualcomm" this is how to fix it and unbrick:

bootloop after unlocking bootloader and flashing TWRP

Hello,
I have lenovo k4 note 32GB ROM, 2GB RAM with stock 6.0 MM. I've unlocked the bootloader with the command ''fastboot flashing unlock'', confirmed it by pressing volume down and returned to fastboot, then successfully flashed twrp from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/k4-note/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-touch-recovery-t3530374 , i used the latest version 3.2.1. Now the phone remains in bootloop. After pressing vol- with pwr it enters meta mode for a few seconds but then returns to bootloop again. Attempts to anything lead to bootloop. My computer does not recognise it. Is there anything I can do to revive it? Maybe SP flashtool? I have not tried that yet. Help me please, I would be very thankful for any help.
Thank you

1. Flash stock version (This will lock you bootloader again).
2. Unlock bootloader and let it reboot (donot flash recovery now)
3. It will wipe the device and boots up.
4. After the boot is successful, go back to fastboot and flash recovery.

I appreciate your reply, but could you please elaborate on the first step? How am I supposed to flash stock recovery when I cannot enter fastboot? The phone is in bootloop no matter what I try. I can't seem to find a way to communicate with the phone from computer.

Flash full stock rom, not just recovery using flashtool. You can't flash recovery alone at this point.
For flashtool, you need to power off the mobile completely.

Thank you soooo much, you helped me a lot. The phone is now running!
Btw, before I restored it, I got into TWRP once, I think i pressed some of the nav buttons to get there. But in mount partitions system was missing and data partition was showing 0B, so something was definitely wrong.
Gonna try flashing it again, this time I'll reboot after unlocking bootloader and only then flash. I hope this time I'll succeed

I know it's OT, but could you recommend me a reliable custom AOSP ROM? I don't have time to spend trying to find one. You seem to have experience with the phone
thanks!

Unable to boot into NFound's TWRP 3.2.1-8 after flashing old bootstack by accident

I messed up and accidentally flashed the old oreo B32-based bootstack to use Candy ROM using NFound's TWRP 3.2.1-8 which was specifically made for the newer b12-based bootstack. Now I can't boot into TWRP at all but the phone still works just fine for day-to-day use. I tried to flash NFound's TWRP 3.2.1-7 via fastboot but after entering "adb reboot bootloader" command, I got stuck on the ZTE logo screen and was unable to proceed into the bootloader menu to continue with the TWRP reflashing process. I am able to reboot back into the ROM by holding down the power button for 10 seconds but I would really like to be able to get my TWRP working again.
I love NFound's work and I brought this problem onto myself by accident but any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated!

Use EDL to go back to stock and flash it again......

you're fine because you can boot into your ROM. Reboot to EDL and use EDL Tool to flash recovery of choice.

Sorry guys, but I couldn't boot into EDL mode either. I tried different button combinations (power + vol down, power + vol up + vol down), the EDL tool, command lines, etc but none of them could get the phone to boot into fastboot nor EDL. It always just reboots back into the ROM.

Do you have root?? If you do, I recommend actually just using flashify app to flash the correct 3.2.1-7 TWRP to recovery. No need to mess with EDL

from computer adb
adb reboot edl
or
su
reboot edl

Tried to flash TWRP 3.2.2-0 that way but no luck. The app says that the recovery image has been flashed successfully but when I try to boot into recovery, the led blinks once and the screen goes black.

Yea I tried that as well but the phone just reboots back into the ROM instead of going into edl. Tried using a terminal app on the phone to run "reboot edl" as well but got the same result.

Sorry mate still no luck haha and I just got a new phone as well. But my ZTE still works perfectly fine, just no way to boot into recovery, bootloader, or edl mode. The only thing I haven't tried is using an edl cable but I don't have access to those at the moment. If you have the same problem as me, you might wanna give the edl cable a try if all else fails.

i flashed Oreo Rom and then flash Twrp 3.2.1.8. after restart i select that phone should boot into recovery. but phone led blinks and then phone goes off. I want to boot into recovery?

Oneplus 8 pro bricked sort of but can't seem to find an option to revert it

I was having issues with the android 11 so thought to downgrade. Since the system wouldn't allow me to do it from the local storage, I thought I will just install TWRP and then flash the OS that way but in the process, I don't know what went wrong but fastboot will flash the recovery but when I tried to boot to it with the command it put me to Qualcomm crash dump mode. I downloaded the MSM Tool as I have gone through this process before but for the millionth time, I just can't put my phone to EDL mode. Every time I try with the volume up+volume down, keep pressing it until I plug the cable into it, the phone just goes to fastboot mode.
TL;DR - only have access to fastboot, no recovery, can't even install recovery because of crashdump issue. Phone not entering into EDL mode tried pushing it from fastboot to EDL using commands but doesn't work. Since it is at fastboot every time, device manager sees it as android bootloader platform. Device manager sees it as Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E.
I've almost tried everything and I know device manager is supposed to see the device as 9008 for the MSM tool to work but it is NOT GOING INTO EDL MODE!!!!!
*sigh* any help will be really appreciated guys. Thank you.

ok but how do I flash my stock recovery back?
since the only thing I can access is fastboot mode, I tried flashing a stock fastboot rom but that clearly states that it cant be used to downgrade and currently there are no android 11 fastboot rom available so now what am I supposed to do wait?

I just did this. So what I did was since there were fastboot stock roms available but not for android 11, I downloaded one...ran it through payload dumper and copied these files to overwrite the one from 10.5.13. But when I did that and everything went 100% as it should. My phone was not turning on now...no response on button presses and no sound when connected to computer...I thought did I really became the first one to hardbrick a oneplus....then I just checked in device manager and it was showing as 9008 at the end..which meant it is EDL mode...that was exactly what I wanted. I immediately started MSM Tool and there it was then I just started and now my phone is back to normal along woth having OOS 10.5.13 exactly what I wanted so thank you for pointing my foolish mistake.

Just replying here because this was the only google result when searching the error messages. I could only get into fastboot, no edl, and recovery gave the error message about download mode. I noticed when holding both buttons down and plugging in it would come up as the Qualcomm USB thing 9008, but every 10s it would reboot again and if I wasn't holding the keys go into fastboot. The solution was...
Have the MSM tool started and ready
In the 5-10s you have while the device shows as Qualcomm USB (QUSB 9008 something) hit the start button
This kept it in that mode and although the screen never showed anything it went through the 300s restore and I was back to stock.

Bare in mind that EDL mode doesn't last very long (least it didn't for me)
So make sure you're ready to press start on MSM, once the process has initialized it'll keep it in that mode.
Found it out by trial and error. I too thought I couldn't get into EDL but it's probably the last thing that would fail on the phone, if fast boot is working then EDL almost certainly is too.

Nokia 6.1 installed TWRP problems since

Hello,
I recently tried to degoogle my phone with Lineage and twrp. It's been a bit of a brick wall. Long story short i'm stuck in twrp. It boots into recovery fine from that. Everything else is DOA. When I plug it in the pc recognizes it and I can see my storage. I run adb devices and it comes up. When I reboot to bootloader I see download as I should on the phone screen and I hear it connect to the pc. Then that's it, it doesn't show up as storage or when I run adb of fastboot commands. I fairly certain TWRP F'd this all up. I have the recovery image for lineage but like I said nothing gets done.
So the question is, is it totally bricked or is there a soulotion I haven't found yet?
Thanks for the listen.

Some LineageOS build working with own recovery so you can try to flash with LineageOS recovery via sideload option...

First of all flash LineageOS recovery on fastboot mode then restart to LineageOS recovery & flash LineageOS rom via adb sideload...
Everything you will do even working fastboot mode...
A/B partition system is caused whole problem so this is only the method to flash custom rom...

As I said this has been the whole problem. I boot back to bootloader where It says Download Mode. When I try to flash the recovery image this is what I get.
C:\Users\rpwor\NexusTools>fastboot flash recovery lineage-18.1-20210831-recovery-PL2.img
< waiting for any device >
And there it sits never to move again. Now do you understand what i'm dealing with?

The problem might be the recovery image you want to flash as it's for a Nokia 6.1 (PL2) not Nokia 6.1 Plus (DRG).
If your device is actually a Nokia 6.1, then you could try the `Install Recovery Ramdisk` option in TWRP, under `Advanced`.
