Changing the recovery or other files will result in a md5 failed error when booting.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Roberto_Sampaio:
Hi Guys,

I think I have no lucky these days...

I was testing a new ROM and when I returned the backup with TWRP android asked me a pattern for unlock.

The pattern I usualy use didnt work.

I found a help that say to erase some files in /data/system but it didnt work...

I had a idea to block the cell with my google account and set a new PIN for unlock... It didnt work too...

Now I have the cell blocked by google and its impossible to access the internal memory with TWRP...

I need help... I dont know what to do...
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RazorBlade123:
Your phone probably got encrypted. You have to format your internal storage if your data gets encrypted.

cannot upgrade OTA

I used method 2 to unbricked my OP3 and when try to update OTA... went back to bricked status. how can i solve this issue? thanks.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Manually flash it instead of OTA? What is your definition of bricked?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] grimmer17:
after I installed OTA update... it went back to OP logo-shutdown-vibrate-OP logo loop.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Thats what we call a boot loop, go to TWRP wipe system then manually flash the rom and it should boot.

A brick is more that your device doesn't boot and you can't access recovery nor Fastboot..
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] grimmer17:
I did what you said about wipe system then manually install today and what happen was, the phone start and went black. Then nothing happens after 15 mins. Thought it will come back to life and I guess got bricked again. Can enter Fastboot but not in recovery.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Well that is good! You got fastboot to work.. Now in the unbrick folder you have all these files...

Can you make a list of what .img files are in the folder since I'm not close to a PC..

Do it like this:

System

Boot

Etc

[MENTION=5641921]Naman Bhalla[/MENTION] Please Help me with this, I have Unbricked successfully but while booting it is asking me password which I never saved, maybe you can help me with this. Please ASAP

hello

i am getting a error during adb sideload "failed to read command" with no other error after this process

please can you help me?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrsupertom:
Hard brick after every update!

Firstly thank you for this, saved me a few times! So I've followed this process numerous times. The reason being that after every official update, my OP3 gets hardbricked. EVERY UPDATE. No root, no custom firmware. Just stock.

So the process is something like this:

Try to use official update from system notification --> Hard Brick --> Use unbrick tool to go back to stock --> Install all apps/data again :/

I have used custom ROMs in the past, and if it helps, it's the Boot, Cache and System Partitions that get corrupted after every update. :(

Does anybody know why?? Thanks!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] paras33:
same issue man ..i am a frequent rom flasher but suddenly from past 1 week my partition gets corrupted ...been flashing roms for 4 yrs now n 1 year since i got op3

but gr8 thx for this guide for easy return
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] multi_rom_user:
Which method did you use?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] drmuruga:
After unbrick never use official ota ( this is for all phones not only op3) , use only full ROM zip, and if you OK, flash twrp and flash ROMs .
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] loserbaby:
Just wanted to say thanks! I used method 2, not sure if I needed the 1GB image included but this did the trick. I had to try several times - pulled phone from USB and powered off - although it gave no signal for 30-40 secs) then tried "Start" got an error, disconnected USB, repeat, kept trying on the 3rd or 4th occasion it finally did the trick and started updating. I also noticed that Verify the first time gave some errors (I forget which) but after a few tries they all showed green (OK) and it eventually worked as I say. Was really scary. I think I messed it up by flashing a OP3 firmware (by accident) to my OP3T - this saved my bacon. Thanks again!

P.S. Also, I should say, it offered an OTA update, I took the update and it went to 4.1.6 with no issues.

No device, Sahara communication failed / Firehose GetUfsInfo failed

Hi Guys,

I was watching a video on my OnePlus 3 when the video hung up and I saw a blank blackscreen. Nothing happened. I tried to force restart the phone but to my surprise the phone just did not react at all.

I tried the mega unbrick method 1 and method 2 several times. The phone is recognised by the computer as 9008 and is detected by msmdownloadtool. But when I press start after a few seconds I get either of the two errors.

• No device, Sahara communication failed

• Firehose GetUfsInfo failed

Is there any way to unbrick my OnePlus3? I purchased it on 15/Jun/2016. So it has been over a year exactly now.

Thanks a lot in advance.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Yes don't worry, have you tried replugging your phone? Did you follow the first few steps especially the driver part?

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

Wrong drivers, the ones by windows are not the correct one. An alternative is to use ADB push but you need twrp to manually flash it. Follow the first 8 steps to get the right drivers.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] kartiknathan21:
Hi Puddi_Puddin,

Thanks a lot for your advise. I think I have installed the correct drivers. I have also attached screenshots.

The first one shows the screenshot from device manager. The second screenshot is from the msmdownloadtool where it shows that the device was detected. The third screenshot shows that error that I get on msmdownloadtool. I have tried method 1 and method 2 several times and I get the same error every time.

Please let me know if I have done something incorrectly?

Thanks again for your help.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Well you see the problem lies either in tool or the connection between the pc and the tool. There are more drivers to try, have you done this? Did you boot windows into driver signature enforcement mode? Have you tried rebooting your PC? Have you tried re-downloadong the tool?

Hi, I'm getting md5 checksum error as failed and system as failed. How to solve? Bootloader also got locked trying this method 2
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] charackthe:
Tried every single driver here but none of them worked for me. I need to recover this phone and I don't know what the heck to do. This guide always ends for me when it comes to drivers.. It just doesn't show up as Qualcomm 9008 it always shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 and on every single driver it is the same. (I uninstalled previous drivers before trying the new ones just in case.)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vennali:
Tried method one. Still Bricked!

I've tried method one successfully and the device did show up as Qualcomm 9008 and then I ran the extracted MSM tool as admin and downloaded data into phone successfully but my phone is completely dead now. when I long press the power button literally nothing happens. Even if I do Power button+ vol up or down, Nothing happens. Please help. Anyone else had the same issue?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shadowedge:
I followed the instructions and the program turns green to let me know it finish but my phone doesn't boot to the oneplus logo and stays black. If I leave the phone plugged in then after the the program finish the phone reboots and the program starts all over again. Any advice?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Drivers buddy, make sure you follow all steps... If it stays black that means nothing has been done.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shadowedge:
I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Hold power for 40 sec

Press up button for 10 sec

Hold up and connect to computer

Install drivers from post #1 if not already installed

open program with administrator access

press start

wait until green then unplug

After it completes download it still doesn't turn on and if I leave it plugged in I hear the phone disconnect from computer then reconnect and the download process starts all over again.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Did you boot into driver signature thingy? This is a important part, otherwise windows will use their own signed drivers that ain't no working.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vickyjusme:
NON-HLOS.bin failed

I downloaded the file with the link in method1. The unrar completes with error "unexpected end of archive". If i run the tool as administrator it shows the below error. Can i try the method 2? or is there an alternate link where i can download the mini tool?

PS: I downloaded the file twice already. Same error both time.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Use method 2.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vickyjusme:
Same error with the full zip.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Something is off/corrupted.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vickyjusme:
In the phone? or with the downloaded file. Is it possible for some one to attach the file here zipped so i can download it?

[MENTION=6669873]Puddi_Puddin[/MENTION], please see the attachments.

OOPS!! Google drive download did not complete as expected. It left out the system.img file. Downloading it now.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Your phone shows up differently than the guide suggested you, this has to do with the fact that you did not fully the guide properly. You need to boot Windows in the following mode: https://www.google.nl/amp/s/www.how...so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/amp/ then install the drivers suggested on the thread and your phone should show up correctly.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vickyjusme:
I followed the guide. I have my OS boot into the "Test signing mode". :|

Are the errors related? Because the downloaded file while extracting shows me error.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Hmm, I see it is in /Downloads/Compressed? Is your harddrive or what ever compressed? Make sure the file isn't compressed! Have you also installed the correct drivers and changed them under device manager?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vickyjusme:
These are the devices available to choose from. I have installed all the suggested drivers in the OP.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Hmm weel okay, something has to go wrong when unpacking the unbrick guide. When I'm in around 5.5 hours I'll be messaging you a link with the unpacked unbrick tool that I used fine 2 days ago. I

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vickyjusme:
It works. Now i get the captured error. Should i place the OOS Files inside this unbrick folder?

OOPS!! Google drive download did not complete as expected. It left out the system.img file. Downloading it now.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Nope leave it, boot into Fastboot if you can, then type, Fastboot flash system system.img and you should be ready to roll.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vickyjusme:
My display did not come up yet. And i cant see any LED.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Hmm, then there is still something wrong with the drivers. For some reason the Unbrick guide doesn't pass, probably because your phone shows up differently then the guide wants you to. The files simply do not get copied to your Phone. There are some more options in the guide that you might want to try!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vickyjusme:
Phone is alive now :D Thanks a lot.

I am stuck on 3.1.2 though. How do i upgrade to 4.1.6? flash the OTA file directly?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Yep just get the OTA. And then start from scratch! How did you manage to fix it? It might helps others!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vickyjusme:
After the OTA phone doesnt turn ON . Weird as thr phone got bricked initially when i flashed OOS 4.1.6 from twrp. Now i did directly via OTA.

I have called oneplus support asking for assistance. They promised to share a link.

I will post steps on what i did here . Hoping to help someone like you did.

I followed the steps in the guide except i used the files(https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5PD5Cs6b3llSDZuSzVSWHFXZXc?usp=sharing) shared by [MENTION=6669873]Puddi_Puddin[/MENTION].

Great guide. I'd unbricked 3rd time my one plus3. Thanks a lot.

I use the method 2 which was definitely working always.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
This one should stay on pernement. Its still uploading so give it like 15min! https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_z3MzSRciM3UnItMmszUlhqWWs

That one is outdated :) i made new one mentioned above.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vennali:
Im struggling with step 5, My device shows as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, and even after updating the driver with the x64 or 86, the name never switches to qualcomm 9008. It just stays Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. Tried a few diff drivers listed but the same result. The MSM tool recognizes it though and runs successfully too but my phone is still hardbricked. :(
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TNSMANI:
Did you disable driver-signing in Windows? Don't skip any steps.

Repeat the process a few times. Sometimes it takes a few attempts.

Phone boot loop (stuck)

Basically what has happened is I was using my phone like normal, then it starts going really slow. I restart it, still going slow then one more restart and it's fine. The next day I am just using my phone, and it turns off and goes into this boot loop that the phone can't be switch off from where it just keeps going to the black screen with white text saying phone can't be trusted because bootloader unlocked, press volume keys for more options. And after about 5 seconds it will reset and do the same again. Holding up will boot to fastboot where I can use it (commands too) for about 5 seconds but volume keys still do nothing in this screen. I cannot power off the phone by any means except letting the battery drain (holding power button for 1min+ does nothing). Any advice?

Edit:very similar to this https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/3c53x6/opo_boot_loop_wont_turn_off/
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shadowedge:
Am I suppose to get Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 or Qualcomm 9008 in device manager before I use the MSM tool?

I'm having the same issues as Vennali where the device shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in device manager but MSM tool runs successfully but the device still doesn't turn on. Also during the flashing the led come on and switches between yellow and red.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vennali:
Yeah, Ive disabled driver-signature in windows. I am getting the Test mode on my windows 10 but I'm just stuck there as my phone's driver is showing as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 and not Qualcomm 9008. I'm not sure how important that is, but as of now, my device is still bricked. I've used the MSM tool and it completed successfully but I'm getting no indication from my phone. Doesnt vibrate nor switches on.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
And if you switched the drivers as described in the guide and boot into windows normally?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] infomedia0:
Thank you very much for this.

Really saved me from a royal mess..
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dgendreau:
I followed all the steps correctly, turning off Driver Signature Enforcement and putting my computer into test mode. The only thing that has been different for my phone is that my drivers are called QualcommHS-USB QDLoader 9008 rather than Qualcomm 9008. When I go to update the drivers, it only has an "Update Driver" option and not the "Update Device Software" option like the guide says. When I manually select the .inf file by selecting the "let me pick ..." and then clicking have disk, it says it installed or that the drivers are already up to date. I have tried 6 different drivers now and they all end up being the "QualcommHS-USB QDLoader 9008" and not the "Qualcomm 9008". So far no luck.

Anyway, I went along with it to see if it would work and I've gotten to the recovery point on each unbricking tool, the mini one, the full one, and the other full one from the google drive files. Each one gives me the green text and says it's successful, but my phone still does not start.

This is very upsetting considering I had only updated my phone from 3.2.8 to the Open Beta 20.

My phone was previously rooted before and had xposed on it, but I had unrooted 2 days before any of this and got rid of xposed framework, magisk, and all other files that have to do with root. Not sure if that could be the problem but I am fairly stuck here and really need some help. At this point all I want to do is save my phone, I don't care for losing any data on my phone at all. I just need a phone for every day life and I really don't want to go having to buy a new one because I tried to update this one and bricked it.

Sorry for the long post, would rather go into detail then leave anything out.

PS, I have not tried booting into fastboot like I have read online in other forums because I am not sure how to do so or if I even can since my phone literally does not turn on or give any vibrations or anything at all other than the connecting and disconnecting noises on the computer.

I've also had situations in the past with bricking my phone, but I have always gotten them working again like no problem. This is just something on a different level where I have no idea on how to fix.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dgendreau:
Update: Followed some other guides and videos and apparently the phone coming up as QualcommHS-USB QDLoader 9008 doesn't matter, but my phone still is a black screen and not turning on.

Some times the recovery will work and be successful, but other times it will not work and says "Sahara Communication Failed ... Please try again after phone is turned off" , even though I have done the 40 second power button, etc.

Anyway, I feel as if my phone is completely done for and wont get unbricked. Nothing seems to work at all throughout any guide I have done. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it so much.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Doubt it's the phone tho. See if the unbrick guide from my Google drive linked a few pages back works.

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 PM ----------

Never do OTA's when rooted or using xposed. Do not use the uninstallers. Just dirty flash the full rom it will over write the system partitions which also removes all the files from SuperSU, Magisk, Xposed or whatever else. The files are not getting pushed to your phone somehow, I still suspect something with the drivers or the tool not being able or allowed to flash the partitions remotely. Reboot into windows normally see if the tool works. Also do make sure you run it as administrator and that it is unzipped ofcourse!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dgendreau:
I have done all of that. And of course everything is unzipped. Ive tried doing it with Windows in test mode and also normally, no luck. Drivers wont update unless the driver enforcement is off. I have followed everything correctly, even watched video tutorial explaining it. Everything goes fine until the MSM tool is successful and the phone just doesnt boot.

I have a remote session with OnePlus tomorrow, hopefully they can get it going.

And I have tried the recovery tool from that google drive link, no luck. Says it successful with green text, phone just doesnt boot and then if I leave it plugged in the tool will just restart and start installing all the files to my phone again, just a looping process with a black screen. Will post an update after the remote session with OnePlus tomorrow.

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 AM ----------

Also, I would never do an OTA while rooted. I got rid of my root and xposed all together before updated. I flashed the OnePlus recovery to install the full open beta 20 update because it said to use that instead of TWRP. But yeah, that bricked my phone. Unfortunately I should have been smarter and reflashed my rom and overwrite the system partitions like you said.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Hmm okay. Well never flash standalone img or zips unless they are a custom kernel. If you want to revert to stock indeed flash the full zip. It should overwrite the recovery as well. I'm pretty sure you can do OTA's with TWRP, atleast on OOS 3.2.7 it was possible.. Good luck!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dgendreau:
OnePlus support tried helping me ... Also used the MSM tool. The LEDs on my phone came on for the first time, but my phone didn't turn on afterwards. He apologized that it didn't work and said they were going to move onto the RMA process, which he said he would send me email instructions for so I'm waiting on that. But yeah, so far, my phone will not turn on.

Edit: Got the email, didn't realize it was for me sending it in to get repaired. It's been over a year since I've had my phone so no warranty. Anybody know how much they charge to repair? If it's too much, I'm just not going to bother and just get a new phone.

If anybody at all can figure out how to fix my phone or get it to turn back on or anything, please tell me because this unbrick guide did not work and they used the exact same program and files over the session and those didn't work either.
