I have no idea how to fix this. I downloaded the factory image and extracted everything and manually flashed the images with the exception of userdata so I don't lose my info. Reboot to a bootloop (the 4 colored dots). Go back and try it again, but the bootloop happens again. Then I go back and try to use a modified flash-all.bat (so it doesn't erase my data) but it doesn't even execute the update portion, just bootloader, radio, then 'press any key to exit'. I then execute the unmodified .bat file and it still only flashes the bootloader and radio images. So I go back and manually flash every image including userdata and reboot to the same bootloop.
I honestly have no idea how to fix this because I am literally flashing the stock image and it's not working. I did this same process with 4.2.1 and 4.3 without any sort of problems and now 4.4 suddenly soft bricks my phone. Each bootloop I have given 10 to 15 minutes to see if it does anything but it never progresses. Can anyone help? I didn't flash anything incorrectly and I even double checked with the '[HOW-TO] How to flash a factory image / return to stock / unlock / root #' thread to make sure I was doing things right. What are my options when the factory image doesn't let my phone boot??
I'm experiencing the same problem... thought it was something i did wrong.
I'll try to boot the recovery (stock) and see if wiping will do something.
It did for 4.3...

Indeed! It worked! (enter Recovery Mode and wipe EVERYTHING)
Awesome, it worked for me too!

I'm also getting bootloops but when I enter recovery I get the Android on his back with a red triangle with ! in the center... like there is no recovery. I was running bone stock 4.3 when I flashed the flash-all.bat.
EDIT: Sooo in the time I was writing this post I had it sitting on this error screen. Well I guess it timed out and rebooted, only this time it booted all the way. I'm not complaining, but now I'm REALLY confused.

The Android on his back is the recovery, you have to press a certain combination of keys (I can't remember which because I just mash them all) and eventually the menu will pop up that gives you the option to wipe things. But that's good it's working for you now, I just have no idea why some of us are unlucky with this update
Try doing a
Code:
fastboot oem lock
followed by
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
and flashing again ... worked for me!

I had the bootloop issue earlier as well and was able to use the lock/unlock method with success. However, I didn't have to flash anything again afterwards. Once I was in the bootloop, I just turned the phone off then booted into fastboot mode. After that, I typed in the lock/unlock commands then did a simple restart. Fired right up.
Thank you guys!. ```fastboot oem lock``` did the trick
Hi all, I've just flashed latest paranoid custom rom from there official website, using all the neccessary instructions. My phone was rooted, I even made a backup using titanium backup application.
But after flashing it, I'm stuck at the boot logo screen. I can't even go to recovery mode except fastboot mode.
I tried to boot into recovery mode by using command:
fastboot boot twrp.img
or
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
but I'm getting remote device locked message. After I tried to unlock by using command:
fastboot unlock oem
I'm getting unlock lock is disabled message. By going through online I read that I need to enable developer options for this, but as my device is stuck on boot screen, how I would do that?
Flash Hybrid recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-hybrid-supports-oos-t3362904
Then install http://get.aospa.co/official/oneplus2
After that install Gapps. It will work..

It will replace your recovery to Default then you install OOS, after that you can change in Developer Options. Use Method 1
Same there

First of all i want to say thankyou to the xda community who help people like us and build rooting and other flashing softwares.
So, this is probably my first post on xda, first for sure when i'm stuck and asking for help
Background of the Problem:
I was on OS 2.1.2 rooted with twrp recovery. (was really happy with my phone)
MM 3.0.2 upgrade comes and i decide to upgrade my phone manually (since ota was disabled due to root)
All goes well in first try..(did a dirty flash) OP2 3.0.2 runs smoothly
However, i found out i had lost root and couldn't boot into recovery.
I ignored for a month when i decided it was too hard to go on without root now..
So i searched through a few forums, went into fastboot tried oem unlocking.. failed.. Stuck hard in the bootloop..
Searched for about 3hours and used the MSM tool to finally unlock bootloader.. but still stuck at bootloop and no luck with recovery.. I couldn't boot into my installed rom(3.0.2)
I flashed recovery from OOS 2.1.2 or 2.0.1 and booted into recovery and flashed 2.1.2 again..
So now, 2.1.2 runs fine on my phone
I have refered to these guides/files while trying to install 3.0.2 or trying to recover my phone

The sensors are not working. I will flash the presist.img as you said in step 4
However, i have encountered a problem. My OP2 is a 64 GB version. But now the internal storage shows 7gb free out of 9.66 GB.. Earlier it used to show 54GB instead of 9.66..
What should i do?
Thanks again
Yes u must have to flash persist.img via firstboot mode by typing [ fastboot flash persist ] for sensor correctly working.
Install es file explorar from play store and check which folder taking More space

Thanks a lot Jyoti! /
Yeah i got it.. Flashed the persist img.
i searched through the forums.. somehow my device got the 16gb version img.. i dont know how..
i had to flash userdata64G.img as well
Now it all works perfectly.. sensors are working.. data storage is back at 54gb..
Thanks a lot! I had been stuck on this bootloop since 3 days..
and i pressed the thanks button.. i will press it 100 times over if possible Thanks again! Cheers!

When you are in fastboot mode..
Try giving the command
"fastboot continue"
or
"fastboot reboot-bootloader"
"fastboot continue"
(without quotes) if your system files are not corrupt, it will boot you into your rom.. and then enable oem unlocking from settings
Tried this commands and the system reboots and stucks on the screen powered by android.

Download the TWRP image for your phone from the official website.
keep the file in the adb/fastboot folder, rename to twrp.img
connect phone in fastboot mode.
open cmd window in fastboot folder and type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Unplug cable.
To get into recovery, hold power button and vol down button together until it boots into twrp. And then you can wipe and flash PA again. If you lose recovery another time, repeat the steps.

Easy problem to solve right? I wiped everything from my phone (including the ROM), downloaded a stock ROM (.ZIP file, and I think that’s what ****ed everything up) and when I tried to install it, it failed once again. Therefore, I downloaded another stock ROM file (this time as a .img file) and tried to installed it.
But what I ended up doing, was installing some other .img file as the boot image (on twrp), and after that, my phone kept restarting endlessly. I couldn’t access the recovery mode (if I tried to press the vol down + start buttons, or just the start button, the process would repeat, so I leaved my phone there until it run out of battery, now its off).
I was despaired and tried to search every inch of the internet for a solution, and obviously, I could not find it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks for your attention.
(Im not sure if this is really a soft brick, I named this thread wit my basic knowlage, sorry if Im wrong)
Use
fastboot unlock_critical
Then flash your full stock formware to both slots
You can get in the bootloader right?

From my understanding ... After you get the bootloader unlocked and the critical partition as the poster above stated. Pretty sure, Magisk, when booted into the android OS should be installed.. After that you can patch the boot image(to include root) without root! And then, fastboot flash boot (path/to/boot.img).
For not being able to boot into TWRP .... Did you use the command fastboot boot twrp.img? Or fastboot flash recovery twrp.img ?
If you used the boot command - TWRP will not stick.
If you used the flash command and cannot access TWRP, IDK, you may be on the wrong partition. I personally had a bit of difficulty with there being two partitions. Just made it a bit confusing...
As the above poster asked, .... Are you able to get to the bootloader? If so, I don't think all is lost... I'm thinking you'll just have to do some fastboot commands again, like, fastboot boot TWRP.img . Then you should be able to just press the volume a time or two to boot to recovery.

oh my god Im such a dumbass, sorry
I had this problem tonight also. In my case I suspect it had to do with the install of magisk in which I checked both boxes and patched the bootloader. on reboot I was stuck on boot. Just wanted to add my solution. I got the pie back to stock zip here https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/development/stock-7-1-1-nmj20d-t3701681 then I put it into the adb folder and ran the flashall.bat script. I tried the no wipe one and it saved my information. very happy I didnt have to resetup my phone in the end.
