Bricked my OnePlus One when trying to install Ubuntu Touch
-
Hello All, I've run into an issue when trying to install ubuntu touch on my OnePlus one. I seem to have completely bricked it. the issue started with it bootlooping on the opo logo screen for a while and now I can't get anything out of it I can't even get it into fastboot mode.
I've looked into trying to restore it to factory but every single tutorial I've come across is for windows machines and I run linux. Honestly I don't care about getting it back to factory defaults I just figured that if I could do that I could install ubuntu touch. But if there is a way to unbrick it and just get right on to the installation that would be great. But any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Gentle-Ent Are you using the snap version if not try that with wipe option marked. Does fastboot devices typed in a terminal show your device. Then you can run fastboot reboot bootloader and try the installer again.

So I'm running Pop-Os which has a decent built in package manager so I didn't install using the snap method. When I type in fastboot into terminal I get
fastboot: usage: no command -
Ah,
fastboot devicesno I don't get anything when I type that -
I've uninstalled the ubports installer and reinstalled it using snap but it can't find my opo

Try with another usb cable, also connect it to an USB 2.0 port.. patience and don't worry, your device is not bricked..
When using the installer select your device manually etc.. -
Have you installed adb and fastboot on your pc?

I'm testing a new cable. Here is the version of ABD I have installed:
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.39 Version 1:8.1.0+r23-5ubuntu2 -
@malditobastardo When trying to run the ubports installer i get stuck at the screen where it says to reboot to bootloader since I cannot do this. The phone doesn't respond to any pressed or held buttons. And if I select continue while holding the said buttons it just doesn't see the phone at all.

@Gentle-Ent Hi, I haven't been around here for some time and it's a bit late now in september, but if you're still looking for a solution, I've had a similar experience with an OPO a few months ago and this helped me out:
