WOW thank you so much. After trying Method 1 a few times, I switched and tried Method 2, and it worked!

I think the trick was making sure the phone was off first and picking the correct driver. When I went to select the driver file, I had 3 options, 1 which was a signed driver already on my computer, and two others that were not signed, and had a little black icon beside it. I chose the same driver a few times, and it didn't work, but then the last try, I used the other unsigned driver, and it told me I had to reboot my PC since hardware changes were made. After the reboot, I tried to connect the phone to the PC and kept getting "unrecognized device" errors. I made sure to hold power down for 40 sec, it was then definitely off, and then held volume up button, plugged phone in, while still holding volume up. My device manager stopped responding, but I still held down Volume Up, and after about 15 sec, it responded, and it showed Qualcomm 9008. Then resumed the process as normal, and here we are, I have a working OP3 again.

I am now downloading the 3.2.7 update... and I'm currently on 3.1.2, is that a problem? or should I be good to go now and in the future?

I will not be tinkering any more with this phone, this is the closest I've come to a paperweight ever with a device.

Thank you again, what an amazing community.

great job mate..you are my man...
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] kickassdave:
Tried out 3.5.4, didn't like it, tried to flash CM14, booted to black screen, restarted TWRP, flashed latest standard version over the modded -19 one. Flashed CM14 again....

Black screen on boot.

Rebooted to recovery and NOPE, no recovery - black screen.

Rebooted to bootloader - still working - no phone recognised in Windows. Fastboot isn't finding the device (I have all the correct drivers installed). The phone isn't actually recognised at all.

Now.. the Volume Up for 10 seconds trick. Is there some 'trick' to this, because I have been trying for the love of God, for 2 hours and my phone will NOT be recognised by the PC in any shape or form.

Defnitely powered off (Bootloader --> Power Off --> Wait 30 secs), and I am definitely waiting 10secs of holding volume up before attaching cable, and still no device is picked up.

What's odd, is that if I tap the power button briefly after this, the phone is briefly picked up by the PC, but instantly unrecognised. Any ideas? Am I missing something :|

Good lord - FINALLY got it to show up! (Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4))

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] kickassdave:
Am I not right in saying that they would STILL need to be able to access the phone via software? If that's the case, then it's currently still not an option.

I have to say, although it finally showed up in Device Manager, I just got "Sahara communication failed"... so I am one step further and two steps back :(

AND NOW - I cannot get it to show up in Device Manager again......

Can someone please post the EXACT way to get it to recognise in the PC via this method? There is clearly a little trickery around it and it is not exactly as described in the original steps (OnePlus forums) or in the steps provided here.

OK - so I am back to being able to see it in Device Manager, but getting Sahara Communication failed every time. :(

OMG.... ok..... well guess what. The connection from the cable to the phone was "flakey"... pushing it upwards slightly and I could recognised it in Fastboot again... omg. I feel like an idiot. I've been using the cable for weeks to charge the phone without fault, so I had kind of fairly assumed that it was working OK. :o
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nikhilsnigam:
I am in a mess now. Cant boot to recovery but can boot to fastboot and system. Recovery flashing via fastboot doesnt help. Phone storage showing only 32gb in about phone. I had multirom installed and did some ****up. Will method 2 help in restoring back my 64gb and recovery? Please help

Edit: you are a life saver man. Thank you so much.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] corygraph:
In an effort to restore my phone back to stock, I made the error of locking the bootloader before flashing the original recovery. Without a rom installed, due to wiping the device, I am unable to flash a new recovery, or OEM UNLOCK through fastboot. Currently the MD5 checksum fails on boot (either to rom, or to recovery). Is there a way to force OEM UNLOCK without a rom? If not, would it be possible to process a return to OnePlus for this error in judgment?

Thank you for your assistance.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gazzax:
Not sure if this has been asked but is it possible to use this tool to flash a custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader? would it be as simple as replacing the recovery.img with the twrp image and flash or are there checks on the files from the software? i've seen somthing similer done on the OP1 and OP2 and wondered if the same could be done here? This would also pass the Android Pay safteynet checks as the bootloader remains locked.

Thanks
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gazzax:
Ok so i tried this, edited out all partitions apart from recovery.img and copied in the TWRP one, managed to get it to flash but it won't boot due to MD5 check fails. Surely someone with more experiance than me could figure this out, if we are flashing raw partitions via serial there must be a way of patching out the chain of trust on boot to pass the checks?!?!

Thanks

i tried method 1, did not worked. so tried method2 with not loosing userdata. everything seems fine, phone booting but it stucks at oneplus boot screen.

Never Settle for the 3rd time?

Helped

And this is why I attempted #2 method - I flashed 3-4 different recoveries and none booted up, just fastboot worked. After #2 method I flashed stock OP3 oxygen OS recovery (found on oneplus.net download site) and then it....BOOOTED INTO RECOVERY. Amazing, love post author!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ashtrix:
OK Thank you very much I got the unbrick done with #2. Here's my problem I hope now decryption works, If it fails I will RMA it.

And for the folks who are having "RELINK" just uninstall the driver from device manager and Install the ones from the Driver package by INF method It will install it as the Qualcomm now, Because of the Internet connection It auto downloads the drivers, Disconnect the Internet before then proceed. Then fire up the MSM Downloader It will detect the Phone at some port and push start and reboot, Profit.

I'm having a problem here. Tried updating to cb355 and now I can't get recognized in fastboot. My device gets recognized in adb when the phone boots up to oos but once I boot in bootloader it isn't recognized. I can't flash anything in fastboot since it isn't seen. I can get into stock recovery but adb sideload doesn't recognize the device. Who can help me?

After entering fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-22-oneplus3.img ir says 'waiting for device.' I'm almost certain the drivers are installed but when I connect the phone to the pc in the bootloader I don't see it in the device manager. By the way I'm using minimal fastboot/recovery 1.4.1.

Update......

Windows 10 must of updated the fastboot driver to 'kedacom' which didn't work. I updated manually to 'fastboot driver.' This was after the long process of method 2 which work like it should have.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] esnar:
I have the exact same problem after flashing the new CE update. Tell me if you found a fix, i'll do the same for you
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tdamocles:
Boot into fastboot and plug the phone into your pc. Open device manager in Windows. Look for kedacom. If it is there than update driver from a list to 'adb fastboot device.' kedacom driver will not work.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] esnar:
Haha yeah, just found the same thing. Thanks! Glad we fixed it :)

Reboot afterwards. Came across answer from z3nith66 in another thread.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] hnrykw:
I'm getting stuck on step 5/6 where you need to do the driver stuff.

I can get to fastboot and when I plug my phone in, it shows as an android device (not unknown). Anyway, so I tried to do the drivers (update drivers to qualcomm or whatever) but it just doesn't let me...

What am I doing wrong?

p.s I am using the 64 bit version of the drivers.

EDIT- I fixed it.

I wasn't going into proper recovery mode (I had to turn it off completely and hold volume while plugging in). Then, it popped up on device manager under USB and the drivers worked. Afterwards, I just followed the rest of the tutorial haha. Also, if anybody gets a sahara or firehose communication error, try turning your phone off and on again (unplug) and then using the tool.

My friend flash firmware on Dirty Unicorns thinking he Will get back fingerprint. But he get a bricked device.

Now he stucked on fastboot screen.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
You have the wrong ADB drivers.

1. Boot windows into http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/

2. Connect your device through fastboot

3. Go to device manager, you will see something with kedacom.

4. Click update firmware, select a local file (U can download it its in the OP)

5. Restart your PC you should be fine, Kedacom shouldnt popup but something with oneplus

Anyways. Im having an issue. I fixed my device with Method 2 but when it boots i have no wifi and sim. Fingerprint is working fine and when i press reboot or shutdown it never shutsdown and runs into a unlimited loop. Any idea's Do i miss something?

Need help with OP3 Please

I am currently in a spot where I can get into and issue commands via fastboot, but whenever I follow any instructions I can find on how to recover my system using fastboot it does not work. I went from the most recent Oneplus update to a CM14 rom, the to CM14.1, but once I got to CM14.1 OS would boot but my storage was no longer being seen (file explorer would freeze and Camera would just keep saying searching for SD card). I had trwp recovery but when I went to 14.1/7.1 my recovery became clockwork mod (or whatever it is that comes with CM14). I guess I'm just looking for a method to start fresh from fast boot. When I try to boot to recovery I just get a black screen. I tried the all in one tool but that is not working for me either. I messed something up and its been 2 days, man I miss my OP3! Again I have tried all the fast boot recovery methods that you get when doing a google search, so if someone has seen this or knows fastboot well and can help me out that would be amazing. Thank you for reading.
