Won't boot, no recovery, only fastboot. - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello, not sure what's going on here but I can't boot normally (it just stays on the OnePlus logo)
can't boot to recovery either, still just the logo. (vol down & power)
I have fastboot, and tried to flash a genuine twrp recovery... http://i.imgur.com/TY300qg.png
as you can see from that image, it was successful - but I still can't boot into it.
if I try the hardware keys, again it's just the OnePlus logo, and if I try do it from fastboot without flashing, I get this...
http://i.imgur.com/TObXGB9.png
please keep in mind I definitely got the right image from the twrp website, and the sha1sums match.
so, I tried the official cyanogen recovery from their site instead, and it's the same story - it won't boot.
and during all this, I can't boot normally either.
at the moment I'm thinking I need some sort of full rom that can be flashed with fastboot. it may be possible to convert the flashable version from OnePlus (http://i.imgur.com/KvMHvaZ.png) to a fastboot one with a tool like sdat2img.py. But I got a FAILED (remote: Unknown chunk type) when I tried to fastboot flash system system.img with the new system.img I got from sdat2img.py
anyway, any help would be much appreciated - this is very annoying.
thank you,
Senan

Hello, I can't find a stock image that can be flashed with fastboot. I only have the full stock rom, but it's meant for flashing with recovery.

You miss understand. You are trying to fastboot flash custom recoveries like twrp/cynogen. I am asking about the OnePlus X original stock recovery. You can flash full stock Rom with stock recovery.

I said in the first post that I have no recovery to boot to. Are you saying I should flash the stock recovery with fastboot? if so, how would it be different to flashing the twrp or cyanogen recovery. and if it would differ, could you try help me find a stock recovery that I can flash with fastboot?
thank you,

okay, I get "Installation failed" in the recovery after about transferring about 35% of the ROM via sideload
I should also note that I get a "wiping failed" when I try to wipe from that recovery

You have to flash 2.2.2 with that recovery first. Just download it to your phone storage. Then your back into the game. I think what you did was flash OOS3 and changed bootloader. That is why you were having problems with twrp.

Won't boot after "encryption unsuccessful"

Hello guys
Today I had to change the simcard in my phone (rooted OOS with blues Park kernel) and after that the phone wouldn't boot up - bootloop. Then I tried flashing the stock rom through TWRP and I got the message "encryption unsuccessful" and couldn't pass through that screen. I've tried flashing purity rom (available in G+) and it won't boot either. I still can boot up to TWRP and fastboot, any solution?
Thanks in advance
if encryption is unsuccessful, first flash oos full zip ,then flash oos recovery via fastboot, do a factory reset via oos recovery. You will be able to boot but all internal storage data will be gone.

thank you guys but it won't let me flash the stock recovery via fastboot. The last line I get is:
FAILED (remote: device not unlocked cannot flash or erase)
I can't also unlock the bootloader as it can be done only with the stock recovery... what a mess :crying:
Any other suggestion?
I'm not sure but You can try to flash stock recovery via .zip file. It is for flashify app so i don't know if it can be flahed with TWRP.
here it is: http://www.filedropper.com/oneplusxstockrecoveryflashify
But i think You should try to flash full stock rom and see if Your phone will boot

Recovery issue

I have done fasboot format of my phone and erased recovery. So i flashed boot.img of stock rom After flashing boot image i tried to reboot to recovery mode but it is stuck at boot logo. What should i do to boot into stock recovery? Thanks
As far as I know, the rmn3 doesn't have a stock recovery installed.
You can, however, use MiFlash to flash a MIUI ROM. Run through setup, and you should be able to flash a custom recovery from there.
But why?

XT1527 surnia_retca_cus 2016-11-18

Hi,
XT1527 surnia_retca_cus 2016-11-18
this phone doesn't seem to allow flashing a custom recovery (fastboot flash went ok but still boots into stock no matter what). Fastboot boot with twrp image didn't work either (stuck on splash screen)
I now tried flashing a stock rom but couldn't find exact same model. Phone is now bricked (flashing gpt.img fails).
Any suggestions? Thanks

Ok, I managed to flash both the twrp.img and the boot.img from a "surnia_retca...similar but not same...cid14" onto it but it still fails to start twrp, saying as before "Error: failed to load kernel! Boot up failed".

Are you on stock rom or custom???
If on stock you need to flash the firmware again, if on custom just flash the custom ROM again, it will fix your problem.

I originally only had the stock rom, which would not go into twrp as recovery after flashing (going into stock recovery instead).
I did not back up this stock rom and tried a similar, but slightly older one (XT1527_SURNIA_RETCA_6.0_MPI24.65-39_cid14_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip) which failed the gpt stage of flashing and after that the stock was gone.
It now only has the bootloader working, with the above problems.

You were lucky as your device didn't get hard Bricked, if you flash a older firmware then the device has, then it going to hard brick and you won't get bootloader too. So it just a paperweight.
If you want to flash stock rom then flash the ROM by removing the gpt and bootloader command, if any error occurs keep going and then reboot the device. Your device will work.
That worked, thanks very much! Using the XT1527_SURNIA_RETCA_6.0_MPI24.65-39_cid14_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip, it gave an error for the mfastboot erase customize line, but then booted into Android and stock recovery was back as well.
I am now back to the problem of getting the device to run the twrp recovery. It flashes OK but gives "Error: failed to load kernel! Boot up failed" when rebooting and going into Recovery from bootloader. Stock recovery is gone after this new attempt. What's going wrong? I am using twrp-3.3.1-0-condor.img

You're a star! Surnia twrp is working. When I started I didn't know about the different Moto E's (I was looking at the /e/ fork of LineageOS for Moto E, and they officially only list condor). Hence I only tried condor...
Luckily there is an unofficial /e/ build for surnia. This installed successfully by adb sideload. Mission accomplished, thanks again for your help!

Reboot into eRecovery and try to update your phone using option "Download latest version etc...." . It requires good wifi connection.

Tried it, fails.
Have you tried install custom ROM , e.g. caos, losq-224 , alpha-ROM from fastboot? It should work. Make sure to have the stock recovery flash , before booting up the ROM, you will need to perform a factory reset in stock recovery.

@LycanRS , what's your region? C...?
IMO you can try to flash stock system.img from fastboot.
In fastboot mode run commands:
fastboot oem get-build-number
fastboot oem get-product-model
fastboot getvar vendorcountry
and post the results.
