[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
hello all....sooo..I have been attempting to bring my op3 to stock...so, I unrooted, applied the 3.1.3 update and UNCHECKED "OEM Unlocking" in dev options (i think that is where i screwed up) and went to the "all in one tool kit" and clicked on "lock bootloader"...it all went well, but when the phone rebooted, it is saying "To start android, enter password"..but I never even set a password..is there a default password or something I should be entering? also, I have tried to relock bootloader, format the phone..and obviously it is saying that "flashing not allowed" or "oem unlock is not allowed".......what in the world do I do to get this phone working again? Thanks a lot.

oh, also, I can't reboot back into TWRP, which seems obvious since the bootloader is now locked.

I can run fastboot commands of course, but nothing seems to stinking work here!

Device is not showing up when I run "adb devices"

I really appreciate any help! This is frustrating. I should have just kept the "oem unlocking" checked in dev options :(

update 1: hmm, well got an update....I just kept entering random passwords and it finally said "phone will be wiped after next failed attempt"..I was fine with that, so i typed something in...and the phone rebooted and it booted back up to a screen that says "decryption unsuccessful" the password you entered is correct, but unfortunatley your data is corrupt. To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset...and it has a button at the bottom that says "reset"...so, i hit the "reset" button and the phone reboots and tried to go into recovery and the "one plus" boot logo flashes VERY quickly and then the phone just seems to shut down, screen goes black..I wait a bit and power the phone back on and it goes back to that same "decryption unsuccessful" screen...

I can NOT get into stock recovery (that was replaced with TWRP, anyway) or TWRP.....if i try to fastboot into recovery the phone will reboot and the "one plus logo" will flash very fast and then just go to a blank screen.....

update 2: I got adb to work...gonna play with that and see if I can do anything.

update 3: Here is a link to a video showing what I am talking about when I say the "oneplus logo" just flashes...

Video starts out with me just pushing the power button..then it looks like it is going to boot up..then hits that decryption unsuccessful screen..so, I tap reset, at this point, it will reboot and attempt to go into the recovery partition and wipe data...but, you can see that it just reboots and the one plus logo flashes, screen goes black and eventually the notification LED turns solid white.

so, next in the video..I power the device off and try to manually enter recovery mode (vol- + pwr) and same thing, oneplus logo flashes and blank screen. Anyway, here is the link to the video.

update 4: Level 2 OnePlus Support did NOT fix the issue. He didn't even give me a reason when I asked what the issue was, however, I did see that it failed out when he attempted to use the MSM tool. he escalated to the next level of support.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bradl79:
I wonder it it has the oneplus one bug to where if u relock ur bootloader u can't unlock it, also I don't think u need to relock if u r flash an OTA just unroot and refresh stock recovery (which no one has pulled yetyet, that has been tested), u may want to contact oneplus and see if they will give u that stock OS to fastboot files, also with the pw issues, all u had to do was boot into twrp and goto file manager and delete the pw key, it's somewhere in this forum that shows u how to do it, i think it's in one of the 3 trwp threads
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Edu616:
Can you try and install the file via normal, recovery?

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
Unfortunately, I can not boot into TWRP to do anything :(

I am pretty sure the problem is it won't boot into TWRP because the bootloader is now locked, again and I do not have stock recovery of course, since I installed TWRP.

Is there no way that you know of to relock the bootloader without having to actually go into the dev options and select "OEM unlocking"? any sort of command I can run? I can't seem to find any :(

Thanks, sir.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bradl79:
ok since ur recovery partition if f'd, u can be our guinea pig, download this "stock recovery" (download the recovery.emmc.win and rename to recovery.img and flash via fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img), this was the only stock recovery pulled via twrp, he did it as a twrp backup, can't do any more damage than u have now and let us know if it works so we can have a real stock recovery

if it does work and u get stock recovery u should be able to sideload the Oxygen OS 3.1.3 zip file and install and have a clean install, u may be able to unlockbootloader via dev options and fastboot

MAKE SURE U DOWNLOAD THE 1st FILE, NOT THE SECOND, ITS AN MD5 file and that wont work, the file should be about 64mb for the stock recovery
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
going to try now! will update in a couple of minutes.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bradl79:
best of luck, i hope it does work out for u
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
well, didn't work...I feel as if something is up with the encryption of the phone :( here is a screenshot of what happens when I try to flash the recovery.img....it always says "partition flashing is not allowed" when i try to flash anything.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bradl79:
what is the error u get when u try to unlock the bootloader via fastboot?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
Here is the error...which, I think, is because I unchecked "OEM unlocking" in dev options..
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bradl79:
yeah i think u r right, so u have no recovery or no OS installed, correct, i wonder if someone who is smarter than me on here can show u how to flash OOS manually yet, i can try to pull the partitions and send them to u and see if u can flash via fastboot, it may take me a bit, but i will upload them and have u download 3.1.3 partitions, i don't think u can flash recovery with out BL unlocked but u may be able to other partitions.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
sure, it wouldn't hurt to try to manually flash...but I bet we get the same error :(
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tesherx:
OEM unlock essentially opens up the system partitions to be writeable, so since your system is still locked, it makes sense that you can't flash anything. There are a number of OnePlus/Qualcomm unbricking tutorials that you can lookup, but you'll need the right files and I don't think anyone has made a full unbricking set of partitions with flash instructions for the OnePlus 3. I could be wrong though. I think there could be hope for your phone, just not quite right away.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bradl79:
thank u [MENTION=867999]tesherx[/MENTION] that would make sense on why he can't, i'll still upload them anyway so if anyone needs them for whatever reason.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tesherx:
I think those partitions will be part of the final solution, but there has to be flash maps with them as well to correctly identify the sizes,locations, etc. Considering the OnePlus 3's level of developer support so far, I think a complete unbricking tutorial won't be far away.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shriom_manerker:
[MENTION=3538381]cms062407[/MENTION] - sorry that you're going through this, this is a little weird though, oneplus should have given priority to unlock bootloader even when the os doesnt work.. i mean what will people do if their phone soft bricks ? its a dead phone since you cant flash files, enter recovery or factory reset !! this is just stupid of oneplus.. but then again if this was the case anyone would steal a oneplus3 and use it as their own... damn this is messed up.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
Thanks. But, there will be a fix, right?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sonyck:
Have you tried to just erase your userdata partition to remove encryption with the command

fastboot format userdata

Hope you'll get through.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] saurabh40629:
Even if bootloader is locked, there should be some recovery, OnePlus or twrp. Isn't it there?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
Yep, it gives an error too..
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
I assume there is still TWRP..but maybe won't boot to it because I have "OEM locking" unchecked...
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] saurabh40629:
That should not happen. Even if bootloader is locked, there will be a recovery. If it is, you can get your device to work.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] samwidd:
have you kept any screen pass code or pin as in my case i have screen lock with pin and whenever i boot into TWRP it ask me password and i put that and it successfully de-crypts, try once
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
Hmm, I have no idea how go get into recovery, at the moment, though.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] saurabh40629:
hold power button+ down volume. Isn't it working?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] papzi57:
just an idea:

fastboot boot recovery.img

(from TWRP Recovery folder containing of course)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
nope, not working. I took a video just now to show you all what I am talking about....will put link to the video in the OP...its uploading now.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
video is now in the OP, for your enjoyment haha. please, let me know if it works..I just linked a google photos shared album..wasn't sure how else to show the video without uploading it to youtube. thanks :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rm5:
[MENTION=3538381]cms062407[/MENTION] have you tried switching it on, waiting until you get to the "cant decrypt phone" screen" then tried holding the power button and volume + button to get into fastboot mode? (keep holding the buttons until fastboot mode appears) if you get into fastboot mode, try scrolling through the menus to get into recovery.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] xdadel:
Have you tried relock the bootbooder and then unlock it again.

I fixed my Shield TV with error "Partition flashing not allow"
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
Yeppers, tried that too. The same flashing of the logo happens.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
Won't allow me to relock because I unchecked "OEM unlock" in dev options....it just comes back with an error saying something like "device unlock not allowed"
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] saurabh40629:
Ask [MENTION=5641921]Naman Bhalla[/MENTION]. He seems to be master of these issues.

Hey ! You also got OP3 ? Awesome.

BTW OP! Contact OnePlus support. They will give you some files and then will have a remote session with you. Those are the files that are used for unbricking a hard brick. Those files are password protected and the agent will decrypt, unbrick and then delete them. The process is completely free and a remote session is arranged within 24 hrs. So, contact support via Live Chat ASAP. In OP2, someone when going through session, don't know how got the extracted files copy and sent to me through which I made my guide. So, IMO, go for support for now. Might be your support session becomes useful for many ;)

Best Regards,

Naman.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] 04myhor:
I have this same issue and I plan on contacting support to hopefully decrypt my phone and get recovery back. I regret unchecking the unlock OEM boot loader option. I've tried numerous passwords with no luck.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] saurabh40629:
Not yet. Burnt by oneplus x, so little careful this time. Though device seems promising, will see in couple months. Waiting for dash charging source to be out.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Naman Bhalla:
And yeah, NEVER EVER EVER Disable OEM Unlocking. Please.

Ahh okie. Oneplus X was really a poor device. OP3 looks good.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
Thanks, I actually did contact support lastnight via chat,as well. They said they escalated the issue and someone will respond within 24 hrs.

Couple questions, though..

1. I know that unlocking bootloader won't void warranty, but if they find out I installed TWRP, could that void it?

And you said they will give me some files....and I will be able to flash those files even though right now it won't let me flash anything, or wipe cache, or wipe userdata, etc??

thanks.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Naman Bhalla:
Even if you Brick device flashing Nexus kernel on OP3, your warranty won't be void, as per OnePlus Page. Though, sometimes they say that if issue is because of tinkering, no warranty is there. But, don't worry. Atleast they unbrick via support for free. And don't worry, your warranty isn't void.

Yes. They will give you some files. It basically has a MSM Tool which is used to unbrick hard bricks. It requires your phone in qualcomm mode (see my mega unbrick guide for a hard bricked oneplus 2 and get an idea of how it is. Only the recovery tool will change to OnePlus 3). It works everytime, even when nothing shows on your phone. You won't be able to faith as the files have password. But they will do a remote session with you, decrypt files, unbrick, delete files and done.

For OP2, someone kinda stole the files, lol, and sent to us, and we found way to unbrick via them.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
okay, cool. I hope they will fix it.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
I am curious if oneplus support fixes your device...please, update us once they do what they do :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jlbuck6212:
The password is the same as the one you enter when you first start the phone after it reads your fingerprint. It's the same one. Trust me
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
of course, that was the first one I tried.

however, I did not have the fingerprint scanner set up, so had no backup PW set.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] 04myhor:
I will update you guys soon. I have an appointment with level 3 tech support at 4:30 tommorow. They sent me an email with files to download that are password protected.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
ahhh, cool! I put in my service ticket yesterday at around 8pm CST...still haven't heard back.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] zixti:
So I had this same issue, my mobile network didn't work at all with my Bootloader unlocked (god knows why, Tele2 in Sweden if anyone is curious). Tried to re-lock, worked, booted up, OH WAIT, password required. Tried loads, never worked, suddenly I got a message telling me to reboot my phone to unlock it. Did that, didn't work, rage > held power button down for about 5 minutes until it finally booted normally and now it works. I don't know what the hell is going on, but I'm afraid to do anything at all at this point.

If anyone has directions for getting this **** back to stock that would be super. Thanks.

P.S. I can use both TWRP and the bootloader as of now, OxygenOS 3.1.2 is installed and it seems to work, rebooting the phone works, and the 'DEVICE STATE' according to the fastboot mode screen is UNLOCKED.

Halp pls <3
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
remote session with OnePlus is in 55 minutes, I have already downloaded the files they told me to download. I hope they can fix it :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bradl79:
lol am i the only one that keeps refreshing this to see what the outcome is?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cepheid46e2:
Support can set back to stock using Qualcomm drivers or you can use the tool posted in other thread to fix the problem.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
long story short....OP support did not stick to their word on the 5pm remote session...I waited for 30 minutes and recontacted support via chat. I am now scheduled for the remote session at 3am CST....yes, I chose that early time :(
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
which thread? and what tool are you talking about?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] 04myhor:
I had my remote session done and the phone works now! Took about 30 min for the session and the tech support took control of my laptop and installed files through qualcom tool. Hope your session goes well.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
awesome, I shall wait until tonight :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bradl79:
hopefully they will be slow and be able to help u then
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] 04myhor:
That happened to me too, but it took a couple tries. I had to keep pressing the volume up button and holding it without the power button until it was successful in connecting. The phone did not appear to be on during that point.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
ya, this guy just said screw it and gave up after the first try.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dugsdad:
Has anyone figured out how to change the clock from 24 hour time format to 12 hour am/pm in the WM5 version (downloaded va HTC Home Customizer v 0.8b)?

My regional and time format settings are set for English (US) with time format of h:mm:tt, but the Home Plugin continues to show in a 24 hour format (H:mm:tt). I've searched the web for most of the weekend to discover similiar posts, but only one hint of an individual that was able to change his regional settings, perform a soft reset and then change it back to have the clock suddenly appear with the 12 hr format. I've attempted so many combinations, including uninstalls, reinstalls, but nothing seems to work. The date format is chaning with the regional changes, but not the time. Searching the registry hasn't revealed anything either.

Anyone else figure this out or have a direction they could point me in? Would be much appreciated.

EDIT:

Further investigation shows that its not really ignoring my regional settings. It just doesn't want to play with either the h:mm:tt or hh:mm:tt formats. I can change it from H:mm:tt to HH:mm:tt and the changes is reflected. Can also change the date format and it appears correctly. Why can't I get h:mm:tt?

UPDATED:

After an "unscheduled" rebuild (couldn't get past Windows Mobile screen after a soft reset), I've installed the HTC Home Plugin and the clock issue resolved itself. Evidently the problem was caused by a conflict with another piece of software. I've reloaded all my apps and its still working fine. Could have saved myself a few days of searching and just bite the bullet and performed a hard reset.

I'm having the same issue but I don't want to hard reset because I did that a few days ago. Anyone have any other solution? I'm using the iPaq rw6815 with Wm5.
