[Q] How bad is this?

Last night I plugged it in to charge and this morning it was stuck at Google logo. I tried factory reset but it failed (see attachment). I tried to flash it with Google factory image but I am unable to unlock the bootloader (too many links error). The warranty run out in 08/2014. Any ideas?
Thanks.

You running stock or did you root and install a custom recovery?

It's all stock. Never messed with it. It just stopped working.

Can you do a reset? I am grasping for straws but guess it can't make it worse.

My first post shows the pic of what happened when I tried that. I think this is a lost cause. Thanks for your reply.

Can someone please help me

I was trying to update my phone and something most likely went wrong. Then the update installed and screwed up my phone. When I turned it on it stayed on the startup for so long. I tried to clear cache through the bootloader, but now it shows the android screen of death except it flashes. This occurs even outside the bootloader.
I am rooted with stock os.
Thanks in advance to whoever helps

Hey, thanks for the response.
Could you please elaborate on how I would do this. Because I do not understand how to do this if the bootloader doesn't work.
Thanks, your response and input means alot

Take the firmware from Asus website, for me I took UL-Z00A-WW-2.19.40.22-user.zip
Boot the phone in bootloader and try to go in the recovery screen, it took me a lot of tries to get in it!!!
From here you can select "insall update from ADB"
From your PC you do a "adb sideload UL-Z00A-WW-2.19.40.22-user.zip"

When i try to do this, i see the error sign but it is flashing

That's normal. When you get the error sign when booting into stock recovery, hold power down and press volume up and quickly release both buttons at the same time. If done correctly recovery menu will pop up and then you can start actually flashing.

Flashing
does this still work if the screen is flashing, because I tried before and it did not work, maybe I pressed it wrong or there is some other issue.
Thanks

Okay, try this:
Connect your phone and first, flash it in 'Download Only' mode. (Make sure to select all the partitions (I mean the files))
Then flash them all again in 'Firmware Upgrade' mode..
I'd recommend you to flash the KitKat file.

Stuck on "Google" screen

I was using my phone like I usually do, and then it suddenly froze. So I held down the power button, forcing it to restart. Ever since, the screen only shows "Google" for a while, then becomes blank; no booting animation. It would restart itself occasionally.
I tried booting into recovery mode by holding Power+VolDown, and selecting "recovery mode". For the first few tries, it would go back to the Google screen, the turn blank. After giving it a break and trying again, I finally got to the "no command" screen, and I wiped the cache partition. Sadly, I'm still having the same problem.
Is this a bootloop? How can I fix this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This happened to me and Google sent a replacement phone. However the replacement phone is a refurbished phone that suffers from ghost touches Now trying to get a replacement for the replacement.

So are you saying that I should factory reset my phone from the recovery menu, or do I have to use the method that requires the factory image?
My phone wasn't rooted btw, so I can't re-root it.

In pretty positive that it will, make sure u unlock the Bootloader first before you do anything. Do you know how to unlock it?

The bootloader allows the phone to be unlocked to flash custom ROMs on it, without it unlocked you'll brick your phone. Read up about rooting your phone first so you can get the idea of what goes into it before attempting it. Once you get the general idea of unlocking the phone and flashing things on it, it becomes relatively easy. There's even a nexus root toolkit on this forum that you can download on your computer for free as well as "how-to's" for doing it

Wait...what?? So if I choose to factory reset my phone now without unlocking the bootloader, it might become completely useless? Is rooting necessary?

No is not necessary, but in order to re flash the factory image to fix the problem the bootloader must be unlocked. You never have to root your device but having a unlocked bootloader is essential to flashing anything on your device other wise like I said, you'll brick your phone. You can even lock it back to full stock once you've re flashed the image.
Edit: there's another way of flashing the factory image but it requires some searching. You might not be able to do it the way I'm explaining to you Because you would have to give it permission to be unlocked in the developers option while the phone is booted up and operative

When u first bought your phone and it takes you through the set up window, when it asked you to put in your email, that right there backs up all your apps that you previously had in the phone so when you go through the setup again, it's going to ask you if you want to start as a new phone or recover your previous apps. You won't be able to recover all of your data but you should be able to recover all of your apps.

Sorry bro but I wish there was.... There actually is away, but you would have have to have been rooted with a custom recovery on your phone and since you had neither, there's my other way

Restart into bootloader mode and check if your device is actually locked or unlocked.
If it's unlocked, then you might wanna try installing an older stable ROM from the OnePlus website and then try again.
Select the appropriate region and device.

Using Pie? If yes, the answers are inverted, for some reason. So selecting "No" would lock the bootloader.
