In Device Manager, I see RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008. I never see any mention of Quallcom. Device never gets loaded in download tool.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fernix_:
Hello,

My device is curently on a weird state, it has led feedback when charging, and vibrates with the allert slider, but i cant turn it on, but it is detected by windows as android, no QUALCOMM_BULK thingy, i already tried to press the power button for ten seconds (it reboots the phone) but nothing. I've not seen anything like this before, should i try this guide or is there another solution?

EDIT: It no longer as any led feedback, but it is still warm to the touch near the cpu (I've had overheating issues before and it is near the camera that it heats up when the cpu is hot), is this a hardbrick?

Hi there! I'm a new OnePlus user and my OP3 is about 3 or 4 months old.

Anyway, I bricked my phone when the last OS update was interrupted. My phone froze and kind of just died off from there.

Since there are no authorized sellers or service centers in my country, the only warranty I have is with the retailer and I sent the phone back to them when neither I nor my friends could get it back on. As of yesterday, the technician managed to boot my phone, but now the rear camera isn't working and the battery drains like crazy. And when the device dies, it takes a while to boot back up.

The tech also mentioned that my phone's logic board may have been affected because of the interrupted installation.

Can anyone shed some light on these issues for me? I don't really have much knowledge on these things, especially when it comes to hardware.

Many thanks!

Big thanks for this thread and also to [MENTION=5009665]oopstairs[/MENTION]

My phone had got hard brick bcoz i flashed oos 3.2.8 as secondary rom with f2fs partition.

I followed method 1 but after restarting it was showing md5 checkman failed and few red lines (boot, system) indicating failed

As my data too important i wanted to somehow backup my data. After searching in thread i found this post https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68245482&postcount=111 which is live saver. After following the method i managed to boot without wiping internal storage. Flashed multirom recovery, flashed sultan cm13 + gapps everything works

Method by [MENTION=5009665]oopstairs[/MENTION] should on first page so i request

[MENTION=5641921]Naman Bhalla[/MENTION] to add his post on first page
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Guzman7:
I did the first method and after trying to boot it I got sent to a new screen i had not seen before. On the top of the screen it says

"start do md5 checksum", which is then followed by a list of other items and at the end of the list it says " md5 checksum failed".

Any idea on what this could mean?

As guided in the post i updated and after 3 hours it all worked. Except wifi, cellular and bluetooth

Did I miss something while installing (certificates)

Eg. when i turn on wifi , no wifi names show up when there are actually avilable and connecting to other devices. I have tried switching off and on but not working.

Please guide. Also i am not able to update to latest versions.

Angels sent from cyber abyss

Post #390 did the trick. I bought an S7 active to replace the bricked OP3, now I have a new phone to turn into a rom tester and developer. Awesome work!

UPDATE: Used the all in one tool to try and flash TWRP and a lot of bad things happened. At the moment, my pc (win10) has signature enforcement disabled and current drivers but I cant get the back out of the checksum error. Here is a list of what I'm seeing:

Driver shows my device as "RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008"

When trying to push files needed through the Msm-download tool (full version), it never finds the device

When I try to flash files through adb window, every file (boot.img, boot_aging.img, cache.img etc....) cannot be loaded or an error comes back saying "remote: partition flashing not allowed"

Phone currently boots into fastboot and the serial shown up in adb when using the "fastboot devices" however, cannot bot into recovery. Any advice or recommendations welcome, I'm scratching my head a little bit on this one.

Thanks in advance

Sahara Error

Cannot stress enough that if you get the "Sahara Error", hold the power button until the OP3 reboots

Then power off from the bootloader

Then try holding the vol + button for 10 seconds before plugging into USB port
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Connect if through Fastboot, go to device manager how does it show up? As Kedacom? Try to change that right mouse click to Oneplus drivers, if they are not there download them here http://www.technobuzz.net/download-oneplus-3-usb-drivers/ tell me how it went! You should be able to flash those files without that remote issue, I did it aswell after I fixed that through device manager.

If not pm me I'll try to help you once I am home and have a pc next to me.

Hi there. I had a bricked phone. I had a bootloop, I was not able to enter Recovery or Fastboot. I used Method 1 and Metod 2 from the op using Windows 7 64bit, but unsuccesful. I saw my phone as a "RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in Device Manager, but when I ran MsmDownloadTool with Admin rights, nothing happend. It was not able to find my device.

The solution was to install this driver:

Qualcomm_Diag_QD_Loader_2016_driver.exe

After trying for nearly 2 days to use the MsmDownloadTool downloaded from this guide I actually gave up. Could not get past Sahara Communication Error in the tool even after following other peoples suggestions on how to get round this.

I contacted OnePlus support and they started a remote session with me using the same MsmDownloadTool but this time with a version 3.0.6 and it worked flawlessly first time.

Something just not right with the tool I downloaded from this guide.

Power your phone off by holding the power button, start the phone in fastboot, select power off and let phone turn off. Then go about holding volume up while plugging in the computer. If you still get errors, you need to reinstall drivers and be sure your computer has signature enforcement turned off. This method will work 100% but you have to follow the steps in order and to a T

Hi,

Read with attention the first post "How to Make the device show as Qualcomm 9008"

and then apply Method 2.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dbabz929:
just because it won't go into fastboot doesn't mean it's hard bricked. Read CAREFULLY through method 1 and 2. Holding the volume up and plugging the phone into your computer should still work (If not, you have a hardware issue). Then just follow the steps slowly and carefully. IF you can't get it, pm me and i'll do my best to help

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dbabz929:
Shut the phone down completely, through fastboot if possible for better results. If fails again, be sure to extract files to your DESKTOP (not I'm a folder), install the correct drivers and repeat method 1 and 2 again following the instructions verbatim. Do this and you should be fine.

What rar unzipper are you using? Wimrar is preferable, my opinion, but worked for me flawlessly

Think my phone is just borked. I literally took it out of the box, tried to take the OTA, OTA failed to install and wouldn't boot back into system nor into recovery - just gets stuck on the Oneplus logo.

Shows up in device manager under ports as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".

Trying various versions of the MSM tool and various driver versions, I either get the "sahara" error or the "firehose getufsinfo failed". Or it makes USB connect/disconnect sounds and then I get the sahara error. I did power off via bootloader and all that...just nothing is working.

Interesting enough - I opened a case with Oneplus support and had an L2 support rep try and do it over a remote session. Got the same "firehose getusfsinfo failed" error. Now they're telling me to RMA my phone for repairs. Never had issues with any phone before - let alone within the first 30 minutes of getting it. And ironically this was the phone I was going to try and leave 100% stock. So my question is I had unlocked the bootloader first would I have been able push a system image or recovery via fastboot?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ddeol:
Problems with one plus 3 :'(

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me out.

I've tried method 1 and 2. However whenever the recovery tool says 'Download complete' in green, the phone shows the boot screen shows and then stays off with a red light is on. On other occasions, the phone may turn on and it is stuck on the boot screen. I've tried to restart in recovery mode, but it does not do anything at all (using the volume down button in combo with the power button does not do anything).

Another issue is that on a few other occasions the recovery tool will try to cycle the recovery as when it is complete, the phone reconnects as the qualcomm 9008 device and it does the same process again, and again.

My phone was totally stock and I do have someone from OP support going to remote access my phone on Tuesday! (didn't expect such a long wait!) so its either I try and find an old phone I can use, or I can try and get this sorted before then!

If anyone can help, I'll sort your coffee/beer/cold drink/ hot drink out ;)

Failed to Unbrick OP3 by both options inspite of MSM download tool working well

Hi,

I tried first option 1 , and reached upto MSM download tool successfully downloaded but Verify showing Failed, hence again installed drivers from Device manager where my device wasa shown as 9008. AFTER THAT I TRIED WITH OPTION 2 WHERE IN AGAIN BY RIGHT CLICKING 9008 IN COM AND PORTS AND SELECTING UPDATE DRIVEFR. I INSTALLED DRIVER BY MANUALLY BROWSING AND SELECTING THE DRIVER FROM THE FOLDER I HAD SAVED ON THE DESKTOP. AFTER THAT TRIED WITH UNBRICK RECOVERY TOOL AND RUN THE MSM DOWNLOAD TOOL BY ADMNISTRATOR WHICH WAS SUCCESSFUL UNTIL DOWN LOAD COMPLETE SHOWN IN GREEN LETTTERS, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED TO MY PHONE AND I COULD NOT BOOT IT BY ANY METHODS EITHER BY VOL DOWN + POWER OR BY VOL UP + POWER. CAN U HELP ME, I AM CLUELESS AS WHAT TO DO NOW?

Guys, this method WILL fix any OP3 device that doesn't have hardware damage. I've bricked, re-bricked and TRIED to screw up this phone as much as possible and it always comes back to life. The key is to follow the instructions VERBATIM and don't rush the process. If it doesn't work, repeat. If it still doesn't work, try one of the following:

-Post #422 - this is the driver i personally used several times. May suit your needs, may not. Give it a try.

-Post #390 - Very useful information. Go to page 39

-Post #414 - Try this if you get the "Sahara Error"

-Post #415 - more drivers to try. Again, try over and over with different drivers. Follow install methods step by step

Also, be sure you are running the MSM download tool as an ADMINISTRATOR. That is a very key step to all of this.

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] AbhinavJain:
I had the same problem and struggled for several hours before a fix. What worked for me was switching over to a faster laptop with USB 3.0.

I think that is the key, data corruption (and thats why MD5 checksum error) happens due to data-loss in transmission. So, using a fast computer with USB 3 and official cable will work.

Hope this helps :)

The first run through left me in a bootloop! I lost the required Qualcomm 9008. I had to turn off the win 10 check again and keep trying to install the driver until it finally took! After that I went with the unbrick tool and could see the downloads and was sure it was rebuilding my broken system.

Read the steps! If you are guessing ask for help!

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] grimmer17:
hey guy,

thanks for the tutorial. I have OP3 bricked and try method 2. the phone is fine at 3.1.2 but when I try to update the latest firmware OTA or sideload the phone stuck at bootloop (oneplus logo and shutdown) . can anyone tell what to do? thanks!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vazguard:
Hey folks!

Yesterday I attempted to revert my OP3 from unlocked, stock rooted Oxygen OS (M build, pre filesystem change) with TWRP to the new N build with stock recovery and locked bootloader. I was doing so in preparation to potentially sell it in the near future. Anyway, I ran through the process posted on OP's site and had no issues up until I attempted to reboot after the sideload. It attempted to reboot and blinked off, no response given. Awesome. It may have been due to the security (pin/fingerprint) I had setup, but either way something goofed and now I'm here.

I used this guide and successfully made it all the way through Step 8 of the Method 2 guide (wiped it to revert anyway, so I figured it'd be fine to take the surefire route). Green text, all good. Trouble is I'm getting no response from the device after that. No automatic reboot, no response from my attempts to boot it. I can still connect it to the computer and rerun the method fine (ran it a few times), but no dice. I've had this phone for nearly a year so I kinda doubt it's a hardware issue, just something I may have missed or a tip not logged here.

I've seen a few people in a similar pit ask about what to try next with little response so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Happy to provide any additional info if possible.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Worked perfectly, thanks [MENTION=5641921]Naman Bhalla[/MENTION]

Just a heads up, if you get Sahara communication failed or Firehose handshake failed then just hold Power button + Volume Up and then hit start in the MsmDownloadTool. Keep holding the buttons and let the tool do its job, this is what I did and it worked perfectly, had both sahara and firehose failed errors, running stock marshmellow now. Once again thanks for your work [MENTION=5641921]Naman Bhalla[/MENTION]!

Edit: Also if you get md5sum fails where it shows certain partitions like recovery and boot failing the md5, then flash the individual partitions with the appropriate files, works like a charm, and credit to this post for giving me the idea, had that error too.

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TNSMANI:
1. Use method 2 a few times. You may not succeed the first time. Try repeatedly 3 or 4 times.

2. Ensure that you have the current files since the links in the OP are not updated quickly ie. Correct TWRP and OS+firmware.
