How to fix partion problem !!!
After countlss hours of messing with the LG P769 This is how i got into S/W mode to work !:laugh:
ASSUMING you know how to install fastboot drivers there are instructions on the forum ...so follow those guide note fastboot drivers work best on windows 7 windows 8 was giving me hard time ...
1.install fastboot drivers
2.run lelus script at the same time hold vol+ button once the script shows the OMAP device close the script and immediately put the battery back in .The LG phone will boot into S/W mode !
Make sure you write down your imei or serial number AND make sure battery is fully charged . then
Now simply use the LG software tool or the KDZ offline flasher look around the forum for how to guides
Thats it

Then try enter in lelus fastboot mode, ad then flash x-loader, uloader, boot.img and recovery.img from stock rom for your device type model. Then repeat steps 1 and 2

Where can I find the lelus script?

Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but oh well...
Your procedure doesn't seem to work with my device. Just to make sure we are using the same driver packages, can you post a link to the fastboot driver you have successfully used?
My L9 is always showing this "partition doesn't exist" error message, no matter what I try. Lelus's script seems to do the job and the phone is detected as a fastboot device, and can even be detected in LG Flash Tool (using a 910K cable), but flashing will stop after a little over 2 minutes, because the phone disconnects. During all of my attempts, the screen stays black.
Any hint?

Then you need a Technician with a Octopus Box to repair your partition table...

Can you boot into recovery? We now have a custom recovery for locked bootloaders (and CM roms). If you can get into recovery, I would try some adb commands to mount the partitions.

No, no recovery. Just to make sure that I'm not doing it wrong, what is the key combination to boot to recovery?
I have also tried:
Code:
fastboot boot some_recovery_image.img
It says ok, but the phone just hangs at the black screen and becomes undetectable as a fastboot device, until I pull the battery. So, unless the some_recovery_image.img is unsuitable for my P760 (which may be!), there is something seriously wrong I think.
Or maybe I can try the same command with the custom recovery for bootloader locked phones... Where can I find it?

Your EMMC partition is wiped or fried... you really need a JTAG service or a Box like octopus because your L9 is Hard-bricked...

Thanks for your opinion. Yet, I still want to hear from others.

I'm running into more and more problems with the L9 as their me grows.
-Fastboot doesn't work under Windows 8.1 and 10, but under the now obsolete(for me) Windows 7, unlike my other devices, which are fine with Win 10.
-ADB seems to work, but requiring the device to be still able to boot.
-I always boot to recovery from within Android as long as the L9 ain't bricked. After a failed rom install, during which the sd card failed(could no longer write or be formatted afterwards, the last time stamps of files and folders were set during the failed install) I discovered a problem with TWRP(Artas182x's and Edwin's), which may have been present since a long time: Trying to invoke TWRP via keypress will brick the device!
So, if my P760 no longer boots, there's only download mode available, sort of the final line of defense.
-There's sort of a trick if even download mode fails: After a failed attempt unplug phone, force switch-off, if the phone is in brick state. Then switch on, force switch-off again, and only then attempt download mode again. And have patience while holding down the vol button, it might take up to 20 seconds for the phone to switch itself on into download mode. (A single forced powerdown will cause Fastboot NOT to work the next time)
But I'm absolutely clueless about the recovery issue, for now TWRP is semi-working, can only be accessed via Android, as long as the phone is fully working.
W/o Fastboot, I now have flashed stock rom several times and rooted it with Kingo rooter just to be able to run Flashify to install TWRP. If Flashify is the culprit for the TWRP issues, I could need a recommendation for a better working app.

Tried OMAP flasher ? It needs memory configuration file in order to work with our device

No, I didn't. I have sold the phone for spares.
Inviato dal mio LG-D855 utilizzando Tapatalk

I never needed the OMAP drivers and tools. As they are ancient, they will probably make even more problems with newer Windows versions.
I could by no means invoke Fastboot on this device with Windows 8.1 and 10, Seven worked. So you had to go for Download Mode instead to recover to stock rom, then root with the Kingo tool, then install TWRP via Rashr or Flashify, the most time consuming way to recover from the frequent bricks.
And the LG Flash Tool 2014 always needed several attempts to get the job done. The latest official recovery tool from LG works in D/L Mode, but will always download the rom image anew.

I followed the steps given on that thread
My pc shows new device found ANDROID. Device is not getting detected
But on this step in cmd

it shows < waiting for device >
i too got such problem.
while holding down back +Vol down connect your phone to pc .It will enter into emergency mode.Then your Computer might detect it.
Can anyone of u help me ???? My phone is still stuck with Fastboot mode
Basically on a windows machine you download kdz updater and uncompress it as it is a zip file.
Download from here.
This is what I did on an xp laptop.
I had to down load the drivers from the official lg site. when here you enter the code that is on the box the phone came in or under the battery.
Chose the your county and laguage from the drop down box at the top right of the dialogue box. Then from the middle you can choose the drivers. For some reason I had to find the files and click on them to install the driver.
Ok once you decompress kdz updater there are three seperate files to work with. 1. windows enabler. 2. msxml.msi 3.KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
You will also need to download the right file to restore with,You can find it with google.
Please check here the The_ERROR thread wich explains it very well:
[ROMS] Original LG Firmware list.
Install msxml now.
Now you have to boot the phone into rescue mode. On Lg Optimus One turn phone off even if it means taking out the battery.
Press power - volume up - back (this button is next to the home button).
Connect to usb now.Computer found new hardware and installed four drivers.
Then open device manager. Left click my computer - properties - device manager. You need to disable the lg modem driver. Left click on it and disable.
Now launch kdz updater. There will be a drop box on left set to 3gspt or similiar. on the right drop box set to diag. The long box just above the info box with a file at the side lets you browse to find restore file. e.g. V10a.00.kdz.
Double click the button below and let it do it's thing. Took 15min. My phone shut down and came up with an error at the last minute. Anyway I rebooted and all was good.
Everything was the way I left it. Just had to re-root.
My only real problem was getting the kdz installer to see the phone.
After installing the drivers restart pc. If it finishes quickly and just before saying finished it says phone not found try removing all phone related drivers including nokia pc suite and the lg suite and remove and reinstall the drivers.
Hope this is of some help to you.
Finally, Recovered my phone by flashing KDZ through Emergency mode.. No other method worked..

I had the same worries coz my pc did not detect my device at all..
I was trying to get pass the Fastboot mode.. But in the cmd when i tried to erase and re-install recovery it said waiting for device.. Luckily and finally after many tries i could enter emergency mode. Only then the phone got detected but fastboot didnot work there.. The Only way out was to Do the KDZ flash. I flashed the indian GB V20b and did a hard reset now. Flashed recovery and for now have left it with the stock rom..
I wonder now this problem arises due to custom roms.

this problem was cuz didn't perform the steps carefully.
This can called bricking but not fully . As it can be recovered.
Bricking is when your phone is as useless as a brick.

[Q] [HELP] LG Optimus L9 P769 (TMO) Soft-Brick

OK, I will start off by saying I have (nearly) completely screwed myself.
I have a P769 (TMO; does this mean BK?).
I followed this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38677123http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38677123) to root the device and successfully made it through (using V20D KDZ).
Then then tried to flash this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335984). Unforunately, I did not have an unlocked bootloader and now I am receiving a Security Error at boot. Even more unfortunate is that I did NOT do a backup so I am truly in a bad place now.
I tried to run through the first step of rooting but the software will not detect the phone as being connected and tells me to connect the USB cable. I have installed the drivers that are in that post but admittedly I may have updated them after rooting.
At this point I only have access to fastboot so I am trying that method but I cannot find any system.img files to be able to flash the system partition.
What do I do now? Can anyone help me? I have exhausted every Google search and XDA search. I may be missing something but I feel I am in a very bad place now and need to get this phone back up and running.

I am running 32-bit Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. I tried flashing V20D_00.kdz (using the offline flash) as well as the V10G_00.kdz and V10E_00.kdz.
Using the offline flash method I constantly get the error of cannot connect to phone no matter how many times I restart the PC or phone and unplug USB.

All caps, correct.
Should I do fastboot and then run the offline method?
I did do the fastboot then tried the recovery phone option from the support tool.
I did find a recovery I made that included (for some reason) only the recovery and boot.

I'll reboot and then try that again. I'll check back afterwards.
Should I do anything extra like start the offline flash from scratch as far as drivers? I'm not even sure where to begin in regards to what drivers/files to remove.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Now I just need to figure out the screen calibration.
Also, what can I do with this now? Do I need to unlock the bootloader to load custom ROMs without getting a security error?
Sorry for my lack of knowledge. My last phone was a Bionic and that was the easiest phone to root and add a ROM to.
unfortunately i find myself in this situation
gettin security error after what i assume was me trying to flash on a locked bootloader
anyway, i can't figure this out, the whole flashing fastboot and what not
i read through the readme and installed the drivers for the "other/unknown" device that pops up
this is what i try to do next
open up start.bat
enter 5 and hit enter
remove battery from phone (as instructed) and hit any key
boot phone into sw upgrade (holding vol up and plugging in usb cable)
device seems to be picked up and i see the "wait 5 seconds" (german?) and the image is revered horizontally on my phone
now after 4/5 seconds it says "waiting for device", which then i put the battery in
but NOTHING happens after this, it hangs at "waiting for device"
can someone please tell me what i'm doing wrong?
otherwise i think i'm left with a totally effed lg optimus l9

Odds are, you are doing nothing wrong. Check your android version, if you are on 4.2+ (JellyBean) you can't unlock your bootloader quite yet. Here is the thread you should keep track of at the moment http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277639&page=152

Nope! I had to do a warranty exchange. I was copying the system image then I thought it finished so I unplugged the phone. May I tried my best to get the phone back but I could only get into fastboot mode, but hey lesson learned. Though I did see this tool that someone here was trying to use to flash bin and fls files in 3 minutes! But it only works for p790 Optimus black. Which sucks because I could get my phone into an inverted S/W upgrade mode (yeah I know it's on the real one) but it only lasted for about 3 minutes then shut down so doing the offline fix just took too long. I would get to about 23% install and the phone would just turn off. . so close! LOL
EDIT: YEAH got the phone to finally work! No exchange now, take that LG! Just kept trying there offline fix

I'm trying to restore my P769 to stock (Stuck LG logo), and getting nowhere.
How did you get the flash to work? What error did you get when the phone would turn off? How did you get the inverted S/W mode?
My phone only got to 17-20% before getting an connection error using the offline booth method, this was with both JB and ICS u-boot/boot/recovery .imgs from the P769 ROMs--should I try the steps in unlocking the bootloader to at least get to a bootable state?

How did you solve this? I am at the same steps, I get into mirrored software mode and then I attempt the offline fix. I have even started the offline fix early to save time. And yet it will only stay on for 2 and a half minutes or so and then shuts off. The farthest i have been able to get it to go is 41%. I have tried fastboot mode to try and send boot.img and it just says that it cannot find the boot partition. So it looks like my only option is the offline fix but it doesn't have enough time to complete. I have tried about 20 or so times how many tries did it take for you? Did you do anything special to get it to finish? any advice on how to get it to finish? Spent about 6 hrs last night trying to get this phone back up and running and this is where i am stuck. Its lame cuz i woke up to the phone like this it was fine when i went to bed. And was for months.

[Q] Dead P760 after accidentally deleting internal partition

Hello,
a few weeks ago i flashed cwm and cyanogenmod 10.2 nightly to my L9. I wanted to use Link2SD to move some apps from internal memory, so i had to repartition the sd-card. Unfortunaly the phone would not let me remove the sd-card (seems like it is stuck because the eject-mechanism is not working). So i tried to repartition the memory with Aparted from within the phone and of course i accidentally removed the phones internal partition, instead of the sd-card partition. Now the phone won't respond to almost anything i have tried. That includes:
- turning the phone on
- booting to recovery
- s/w upgrade mode
With Lelus tool i am able to get a fastboot connection, it even looks like i am able to flash another recovery image (i have the omap drivers still installed from flashing the phone the first time). But in the end the phone itself does not respond to anything. When trying to install ics x and u boot with Lelus script it fails after complaining about a missing partition.
Do you know another way to restore internal partition(s)? Is there any hope to get the phone working again?
Thank you in advance
if all fails try this you may get lucky

Thanks a lot! Looks like LG Support Tool recognizes my phone now (there is no visual feedback on the phone screen in S/W Upgrade right?) But when i start to use the tool to recover from a failed upgrade, it always skips around 20-25% progress. For a moment the phone is not shown in my windows device manager and after that, it is recognized as Ti Board - Omap44xx every few seconds and then lost again, like the driver is not properly installed (is that possible after being able to get to fastboot and S/W Upgrade mode?). Any idea?

The s/w mode from the unofficial fastboot is not going to work. I think you really messed up your phone doing that (aparted). You might be able to run a fastboot command to repartition it but I doubt it will work. Try this command select option 1 (just fastboot)

fastboot oem format
You should have a look at this information as well http://www.omappedia.com/wiki/Android_Fastboot

It will give you fastboot access again so you can flash the correct files.
I love omap devices, they seem to be difficult to hard brick with the exception of the high security models.

No , TWRP is not installed now .
Yes, I think bootloader has been unlocked. It is done with Orange status.

Ok, I guess that your device is actually in bootloop and don´t booting.
Tutorial that you followed has many steps and don´t need to do all this to just root device and it contains some files like lk.bin that you can´t be sure that should be for your device.
Some users use this file (lk.bin) of an unlocked device and think that flashng in other device then get unlock it but no need, your device can be unlock it just follow some commands in fastboot mode.
Now you can do the next;
Try to flash again your rom stock (I guess that you don´t have a backup), if for some reason your official tool doesn´t work then use only some images like boot, system and userdata with the scatter.txt to flash them through SP Flash Tool.
Here a link to TWRP https://youtu.be/6vj_BY6xJdA, you can root it with supersu v2.78 0r v2.82 and here some files that can be usefull too https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0BwJgeCYTpnEHNlg2VUlieHFTYVU&export=download
Update steps that you are following to can assist. What extension has your rom and if it is recogniced for SP Flash Tool. I didn´t ask you if you can enter to fastboot mode and if you can then you can know if your bootloader is unlocked typing fastboot oem info
Most info that you give and some screenie will help to understand better
Unfortunatly, it can not enter to fastboot or recovery mode. Those files in replay didn't work and i dont have a backup. I try to flash recovery.img, system.img and preloader_shine_plus.bin . All done but it still black screen and does not boot. But now it connect to Pc without disconect .
I cant add link or images to my post.

Gmail didn´t warn myself about your post. Did you solve it?
You said that flashed recovery, system and preloader but how, through SPFlashTool?, if yes, are you sure that this tool recogniced your device?
You forgot to flash boot.img too.
Other way to try; flash only preloader.bin and then try flashing boot, system and userdata that are the three most important partitions to can boot.
Like last resort you can do a Format all + flash but only like last.

I´m not sure if you are connecting correctly your device at right time and form to can flash it properly. Every device has more or less a specific way to do it. My last alcatel it was connected just with device power off and after to tap on download, but in other device Blu Dash was connected pressing just vol_up and my last mt6757 Bluboo had to press both vol up and down at time to connect to pc and after to tap on download option. To have sure that is well done increase volume in your pc, you will hear a first sound that is cause pc is recognicing but then you have to hear a second sound that is when SPFlashTool is recognicing device and you will see a red line in down side of the tool window, release button inmediately and let tool to work.
This is a good rom for your device according the author is optimized https://droid1311.blogspot.com/2017/08/alcatel-fl02-aka-flash-plus-2-via.html and this is the link directly if you have troubles with pop-up-adds https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwAGh1drb91SeDZwV1VXbXpjQWM/view
Also you can try with other versions of SP Flash Tool, most stable maybe should be v5,1628 https://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool leth me know how you go
If I understant, the status bar has to be red then I will release the mobile button and click download in SPFlashTool.
SPFlashTool 5.1628:
I try all the way with and without pressing any button but no luck . And when it work finishing with error.
SPFlashTool 5.1628:
I try all the way to get that mode but nothing works. So I try to click download button then conect the phone by random buttons and every time i get red color , yellow , green ,purple , yellow (for many times 100%)
then i get this error:
ERR: STATUS-SEC-IMG-TYPE-MISMATCH (0xC002002A)

There is a part that is not variable in the way to use this tool, ever you have to tap on download before to connect device and is recommendable too connect cable usb to pc (not yet to device); from here is when the button that you have to press can vary but like I said you before in my last mt6757 (a very similar to yours) works pressing both vol at same time to connect terminal cable to device and now you will see a red line (could be violet-ish)
Try before just flashing only preloader file to recreate some partitions and then do other flash for the other files.
Of course you have to be sure that all drivers are installed correctly cause this tool needs to put your device in download mode (a special level) and also keep it in this state so find VCOM drivers for Alcatel and adb/fastboot installer and try to uninstalling some older drivers that you don´t use and many times we keep in our pcs and for a short data transmission can helo that all the rom move it in same folder where SPFlashTool is allocated.
After updating drivers and trying all the possibilities buttons the red line doesnt appear.

Ok, here there are somethings that we need to know
- First of all don´t forget to charge your battery, after many attempts could consume a lot.
- Your device is recogniced in fastboot mode? mtk has two variables ways to enter to, pressing both vol + pwr till an options menu appear, then you have to select, and the other method most known is vol down+ pwr to go diirectly
- In what android version are you, 6.0?
- What is the exact variant of your device, you can know maybe seeing in the box, this rom is for 5095K version 6.0 MM
- Did you try to flash just preloader, only this file?
If SPFlashTool don´t give signals of recognicing device is probably that your device is not now totally power off, try pressing pwr by 7 seconds, then try to flash again combining both vol with pwr button
Upload some screenshot about the process

Which option mode should appear? Screen is always black (off) all that i have on the phone is the LED.
I try more than 4 different drivers for Alcatel Flash Plus 2 (vcom & cdc) but no sound from SPFlash to prove that it recognise the phone. Sounds just release and keep relrease from Windows 10.

You need to try two different ways to flash files and restore your device.
First method: fastboot mode
You need to get device enter to fastboot in order to flash some files like system, boot and userdata, then there are two main methods to do it:
- Pressing pwr + vol down
- And I mentioned that sometimes work pressing both volume button + pwr and a menu have to appear to can select an option to enter to (fastboot mode), in some devices this method is not working but you have to try several times attempting to.
Second method: SPFlashTool
You have to ever press first of all Download box and connect terminal cable to pc and the buttons thhat you need to press at time to connec cable usb to your device may vary, sometimes vol down, sometimes both vol but never pwr button; if pc recognice then you have to release all buttone an let it pc continue the flash process.
If SPFlashTool recognice device first flash only preloader file and select now lk.bin too. Flash only these two files and after do again a new flash with the rest of the files, Why you need to do this? your partitions are corrupted and you need to restore them with these files in order to can flash all another files.
Before all of this charge your battery, if you have a cover removable then extract it some minutes and put it again.
Also I read that for this model it´s used this tool instead of SPFlash Tool https://androidmtk.com/download-sugar-mtk-sp-flash-tool (inside the zip you will find a password to start the tool) but I´m not sure what kind of rom it needs, you have to connect your device to begin the process, you will find in product models section in the tool this variant for your device "FL02"
Try first the other tool and then this and let me know how you go, mtk devices are almost unbrickeable so it´s just to find the appropriate way to return it to the life.
Hi again!
It was along time,I know . But I tried to know why I can’t return my phone back to life.
I have searched all possible websites for rom of this model and I have formatted my pc and installed win7 with all necessary drivers.
I can’t found any rom for it but now I can flash all the necessary files for boot they flashing and running smoothly but the mobile can’t boot up.
I try to use that app in your replay. It recognizes the device but stuck after that and keep looking for rom without any chance to download it.
I think I have a wrong rom files. I can’t find any other reason but this.
I will write again all information about my phone:
It is called Alcatel Flash Plus 2
I bought it from AliExpress and it came from Indonesia as I remember (not sure)

Yes, so many time
When device is booting, it stays in bootlogo or goes atleast to bootanimation?
I understand that you tried with Sugar tool with no lucky.
Did you try again through SP Flash tool? trying to flash in a first attempt only preloader file and in a second attempt the other files? (try with 2 or 3 versions and see the differences).
Is there some custom development, recovery, roms for your device?
I think that now you are flashing correct rom through fastboot but like you did before bad/wrong flashings your bootloader is refusing to boot to system. Flash through fastboot all the partitions that you can follow the syntax for every one of them by i.e. typing fastboot flash cache cache.img and so on one by one (some of them are unflashable through this method)

I´ll tell you some ideas with no any specific order that you can try or see if works.
Really very strange that display stays in black, you told me that flashing files through fastboot is working but doesn´t appear not even bootlogo, connect to pc as it is and see how pc recognices in devices manager and my pc if appears like a determined drive d/e/f so it looks that some bad flashing burn your kernel and this case is similar to when a Samsung device need to use jtag method to revive, if in your country no-one knows about Alcatel devices this could be a similar case to what I´m saying then it could be a clue for a technician. I tell you this cause many time ago when I flashed by error a Samsung s4 and only this method revived my device.
Try this, flash your stock recovery only through SPFlash tool and flash after through Alcatel Download tool your stock rom cause some firmwares need to detect stock recovery first to can flash other partitions.
At this stage don´t you have stock recovery, no? so you can try to format data cause sometimes when bootloader is altered then avoid to boot and formatting data can solve this.
If this recovery twrp is for your device you can try flashing through SPFlash tool, you have to put recovery.img and scatter-txt in a same folder. then if succesfull format data, system, wipe cache and dalvik and maybe later try to port some custom rom would be a way to solve this.
To flash any partition through fastboot this is the syntax, just follow one by one any of the files that are in your rom folder so just follow these, if some of then can´t be flashed don´t worry then it´s not flashable:
fastboot flash boot bot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash lk lk.bin
and so on till the end
...But after try this if you didn´t get boot to recovery and obviously you can´t delete data nor system then delete first the next partitions trough fastboot typing:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
Try all this and let us see how it goes
I have flashed TWRP Rom but it is same , no luck.
On sugar tool I got this message after success flashing via SPFLASH tool.
I tried all possible buttons to connect device to PC on Fastboot mode but the PC cannot send data to my device.
To be in Fastboot mode , the device has to boot while pressing on (PWR & VOL+) but my device can’t boot.

I see that Sugar tool detects your device like rooted and refuses to flash anything, compare imei number which is in the box, I hope that it couldn´t be changed.
Don´t tell me simply no luck, what it says in SPFlash tool when you tried to flash TWRP and I guess that you put scatter-txt and twrp renamed recovery.img simply in the same folder. Just to be clear, to can flash with this tool your device it has to be off not needed fastboot for this. (provide some screenie)
Other combination of keys to enter to fastboot to flash some partitions when something is missing is, try these three ways:
- Pressing only vol down and at same time connecting to charger (connect first one terminal of cable to your device and then to the charger)
- Pressing the three buttons till a menu appears (you must to release inmediately all)
- Pressing vol up + pwr till a menu appears (you must to release pwr button inmediately) then choose fastboot
In the post 4 I provided a link from Google Drive, in this zip there are 8 items;
- From the item 2 use this version of SP Flash tool, put the four files in a folder and flash them
- In the item 3 you will find some scripts for fastboot, maybe they´re working better and also you have here a subfolder with twrp image.
- And if you get sucessfully install twrp in the item 7 there is a backup with some files to restore from this recovery.
Try one by one and update the info, I hope that your motherboard is not damaged.

[GUIDE][NORD/AVICII] Noob friendly guide to Unbrick/Restore Stock OxygenOS Firmware

Generic Disclaimer: By doing any of the process listed below you accept complete responsibility over any of your actions, I will not be responsible if you end up causing hard brick, data loss or any kind of loss to your personal property.
Hii XDA fellows,
So I have seen many people asking for noob friendly guide to restore original oxygen os firmware or basically unbrick device. There are several thread on this already but trust me I have tried them all and in my case I had to use my own brain. So I have compiled a noob friendly guide which I,myself have used to unbrick my device.
small warning this will wipe all of your data.
Firstly I wants to thank Some_Random_Username for bringing up MSM Unbrick tool for OnePlus Nord. His guide to unrick nord is also fairly good enough but in my case I was stuck in bootloop after installing a rom. My phone was not even booting to Qualcomm EDL Mode so that I can use MSM Tool.
Lets start with pre-requisites:
You must have unlocked bootloader.
Original Oneplus Type - C cable.
Windows PC.
ADB debugging turned on your phone.
Firstly Switch off your device, which I think most of you have already have as the device is bricked but in case your phone is stuck in bootloop or recovery or bootloader menu itself then try holding down voume up button and power button together hold them down till you get heptic feedback and screen goes off. Let it be cool down for about a minute.
Now Setup your PC:
Download MSM tool to from this guide : Click here
Setup adb environment in your PC if you havent already setup follow this guide
Download Qualcomm EDL drivers from here: Click here
Now download Unofficial TWRP recovery by Mauronofrio from here
On your PC right click on start menu icon and start Windows Powershell(Admin) and type this command bcdedit /set testsigning on This will turn off driver signature verifications on windows you will be required to restart your pc now after you restart your pc will boot into test mode and you'll see a watermark stating the same in bottom left of your desktop. Worry not we will undo this after we have finished restoring.
install Qualcomm EDL drivers by running the setup listed above.
Unzip MSMTool there you will see a file named MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe run it, it'll take some time but after you see a pop up asking for user type user name and password, Select other as user type and leave other stuffs blank as it is and click next.
In the next window, In the target button select O2 while using global tool or India while using indian tool or EU when using european tool.
Now you have to boot into Qualcomm Emergency Download Mode
You can do this in several diffrent ways but one I am listing here is recommended :
Boot into fastboot/bootloader mode by pressing and holding Volume up, Volume down and power button together when you see a Menu pop up on your screen you can let go all the fingers at once.
Now connect your phone to your PC and go to that folder where TWRP recovery is located. Hold Shift button and Right click inside that folder you'll see an option "Open powershell window here click on it. In the powershell window type
fastboot devices and press enter your device will be listed as fastboot devices in powershell window. Now type
fastboot boot twrp1.img press enter
your device will boot up in TWRP recovery in twrp recovery go to reboot section and select Edl, This will boot your phone Edl mode your screen will go off as soon as it happens in the MSM tool window you'll see a device listed as com3/com5/com7.
Click on start button the restoration process will begin. Wait for about 400 secs and your device will automatically boot up.
Voila you've successfully unbricked your phone.
If you want to exit from Driver test mode on your pc simply start a powershell window with admin rights and type
bcdedit /set testsigning off
and restart your PC.
So first off all i want to say thanks for this guide.

Seems like it's a software issue probably a bug in your rom rich out to the developer he might help you, as you have tried both with Linux and windows i don't think it's a driver issue, it could be an issue with the hardware also but chances are pretty low for this to happen. Try flashing other roms if you have backup of your phone, use orange fox recovery it has an option of taking nandroid backup.

the thing is that i cant flash other roms, my phone dosn't gets recognized in fastboot, recovery and edl, so with the aex recovery installed i have no chance to change the rom without a pc, reached out to the dev but seems i'm the only person with the proplem, but thanks for helping.
