Hey all. Currently my phone has no os, no recovery and I can get into fastboot. I used the tool to get where it is now. Only thing is my bootloader is locked and I can't seem to flash anything to move on from here. Any help would be much appreciated.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mysterio619:
this works with bootloader locked/unlocked........it was lifesaver for me when i messed up trying to relock the bootloader ;)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vjendra:
I messed up my oneplus 3. My system partition got corrupted.

I tried both methods nothing worked

I can only enter in fastboot but not in recovery

when I boot in recovery that black screen comes with (boot, system, boot aging: failed)(after using qualcom recovery tool)

my OEM is LOCKED

I tried fastboot flash recovery with stock and twrp (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed) in both cases

pls help

Help please

[MENTION=5500746]Mistertac[/MENTION]

I am following same procedure but not able to boot in recovery. I am getting same screen as you got at that time. Please help
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mistertac:
All I can suggest is keep trying. Make sure you have Driver Signature Verification disabled.

Run the unbrick tool-full as Administrator on Windows and possibly try another a different USB cable even.

It took me a good 10 times of trying and it failing before it finally worked.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vjendra:
Fixed it

As it turns out my downloaded recovery tool was corrupted. I re-downloaded and that fixed it.

Thanks all...

This post is a life saver :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] amitepoudel:
Try second method. Thanks to those who made this tool. Saved my OP3.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] lfwake08:
Just wanted to post a big, nice, fat THANK YOU. I bricked my OP3 and spent hours and hours and hours trying to fix it. After working through the second method you posted, it fixed my bad cache and system partitions and allowed me to fix my phone. Really, thank you. This was a total lifesaver!

Did not work

I tried these steps. The recovery partition went from being corrupted to to saying its not. However, the recovery partition does not boot the only thing i get is a while indicator LED at the top of my phone. Nothing actually shows up on the screen.

Please help! I can boot into fastboot but flashing recovery through fastboot is doing nothing. I cannot boot into recovery or the system. Can you tell me what to do in this case? Thanks.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] luxumbra:
Turn the phone off again (boot logo on then back off), it worked for me.

Next time search the thread, someone already answered it !
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Many cases that could result into this. I recommend you running the tool :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] himadri:
Hi [MENTION=6669873]Puddi_Puddin[/MENTION] I have recovered from the situation by flashing an older version of TWRP through fastboot! Thank you. I have a new malaise to complain of, I have lost the space I had consumed in the system I had before the softbrick :) I am now searching the forum for a solution of that. I recall someone had the same problem who reported in Daleski's CM14 thread! I have a lot of reading to do in the weekend! If you know a way out please share.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] himadri:
I have the same problem. How did you solve yours?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nikhilsnigam:
use method 2
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] himadri:
Thanks mate I will try it now and report.:)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] himadri:
I reached till installing the drivers. I installed the drivers. The device is recongnized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 but the tool says no device! I have tried other drivers too. Any suggestion?

Thanks for responding
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Roman91:
thank you, my op3 had the freedomOS logo also after the full firmware restore (flashed full stock firm) ..this is the only way to real 100% stock rom
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shavendum:
Which recovery are you flashing? Twrp official or modded? Official breaks if you had any CE builds flashed on your device. Flash modded twrp by eng.stk. That should work. As for showing lesser storage, looks like there's some issue with the data partition. I too ran into the same issue once. It showed internal as 24gb. Just format data partition using twrp or fastboot. That should work
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] himadri:
I tried fastbooting twrp28 but it wasn't working. Then I tried twrp23 it worked. To regain the lost storage,

I tried method 2 of the unbricking guide as some forum member suggested but it is not working as my laptop is refusing to cooperate. I will try your suggestion. Thank you.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shavendum:
Good to know that. Just make sure you are formatting the data partition and not wiping. Many users i came across seemed to have that confusion. Good luck.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] himadri:
Worked like a charm, thank you you are the champ.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shavendum:
You are welcome. To avoid such issues in future, stick to modded twrp. Official in its current state is not usable universally across stock and custom ROMs. There's no such issues with the modded one.

No becuase bebugging was activate on my phone
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tyraelasd:
Does anyone have a clue if my phone is bricked?

This is the diagnosis: I can access recovery, stock or twrp, I can access fastboot, but whenever I flash a rom the phone keeps rebooting itself, or simply it gets frozed and then it powers it off. No matter what rom I flash it still the same. Sometimes when Im flashing a rom it reboots itself when flashing. Im really out of ideas, Ive formated data system cache etc and nothing works. Should I go this route?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] atulclassic:
go to stock recovery and adb sideload full factory image 3.2.8 but before that check your usb drivers are installed correctly and attached devices are visible in My computer>Manage>Device Manager as Android ADB interface otherwise your drivers are not updated and your adb sideload will fail

so is this help us ?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jfxmedia:
Hmm... I had open beta 8 on mine, finally got it rooted, all was good, then a popup came from oneplus saying the OTA was ready for the just released beta9. I let it download, went to reboot and it bootlooped to twrp. No system booting at all, the only thing it would boot to was TWRP. I found this thread, got it all setup, successfully went through the recovery tool etc. Rebooting I can't get into recovery mode, also it just goes to this screen and reboots. Anyone have a fix for this? Not sure what to do next.

Also this is the readout the recovery tool gives me, similar to the red test error on my oneplus 3 when trying to boot up now.. see attached

:confused::confused::confused:
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jole7:
Try again with method 2 close the phone first and follow the steps hold the volume when plugging the device and right click on com.device where your phone is attached then press start. Don't panic it will be fixed!

Trying method 2.

If I try verify, everything is marked OK.

The device is shown as Qualcomm HS-USB 9008 (COM6).

The tool recognizes the device and shows the following:

1. Com Device. Then I click start.

2.Start download Firehouse Binary.

3. (in screaming red) Sahara Communication Failed.

I've read through the entire thread and tried redoing this countless times.

Please please please assist!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jole7:
Guys i faces those sahara messages and failed when i bricked it . What i did to work was make sure the phone was powered off( press power off for some sec) then plugging the phone while holding the volume up button for 10 sec before plug in then -right click- on com.device and press start that's what i did and it worked i have a working OP3. Good luck!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] just4u32:
This is for you, future people, searching for the answer.

Just keep trying. Try booting into system (it doesn't actually boot, duh) and repeating the process. Try pressing the up key. Try switching USB ports.

Try everything. Go random.

Something I did worked, and the tool suddenly didn't fail.

Thank you OP for your post. My phone didn't boot yet (sideloading now), but it appears to be in the right direction.

I do believe the guide is quite badly written. Could be much better. Would be a wise idea to let a native English speaker re-write this.

Now I don't know what I done. Under device manger I see ports (com &lot) then if I click on that I see the Qualcomm 908. The when I run the mini tool it show RED communication faild. It was working fine

When I extract the Full unbrick tool that in not in there.

In in the mini tool that's in there, I have to use the full one in method 2 to fix my phone. Method 1 goes and I get the green text and all drivers are installed. But when I boot my phone I get the md5 fail screen with the red and white text.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jole7:
I used the full tool and it's there try again please maybe a bad download
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wazzaaaa-x:
Does this method work for any qualcomm device? E.g: OnePlus 3T? Samsung Galaxy S? Obviously you will need the correct files.

A used this method to get out of a hard bricked Oneplus 3 but my mate has a bricked Samsung. Just wanted to clarify and to see if I can use this method for his phone.

help Please

Hi Guys.

This is what my son wrote on XDa forum before

I flashed SuperSU, then phone kept on showing boot animation (white dots around a red dot) for 12 hours, so I deleted everything from my phone (including internal storage). I knew I was in a bootloop because I deleted the system.

Then I thought that I could sideload cm14. Fail. I also tried cm13. Another fail. I tried aospa(Paranoid Android). Another fail. And I tried Oxygen os on stock recovery and twrp(the one I'm using right now) on oxygen os version 3.2.4 and 3.2.6 , none of them worked.

The errors that showed up were error: 7 (in /system folder) and Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file. I can't push a ROM because the device is "unauthorized". Fastboot won't work because there is no android-info.txt.

Please Help me and I'm a 10yr old who has a Oneplus A3000.

Basically I can see start,recovery and boot loader screen.

I did install all the all the drivers as i can see them program folder but i cant go any further.

I can see relink on port.

I am not sure if i paste snap shot here.

please help

desperate dad

Don't know at what situation am i right now, Pls Help.

I was rocking TWRP on OP3, and then i flashed freedom OS through it. Now freedom os is working great, but i am unable to boot into recovery. It just shows Oneplus logo and then goes into bootloop. I am unable to wipe the phone, I've tried to reflash CWM, twrp and stock recovery. I've also tried to lock bootloader and then unlocking it again. According to the process it should wipe the phone. But all my user data is present, and the rom is working perfectly. I have root access. I've also tried to flash recovery with apps like Official TWRP app, twrp manager, flasher, rashr. But all in vain.

Its a freedom OS 1.7 (CE) based on OOS 3.5.3.

Pls Help me.

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
I think you need the modified twrp.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gauravgarg0018:
It was clearly written in that thread that this CE build doesn't require modified TWRP. If it required Modified one then it wouldn't have been installed.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Well then im out of options, make sure you have the latest twrp, and makesure it isnt corrupted or something.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] hershel66:
On the screen when the phone failed to md5 checksum, you've got several partition failed right? in red text.

- download this :

and then extract.

- download platform tools attached below. extract in the same folder with first file you've downloaded.

- Boot your phone to fastboot mode, plug your usb, make sure adb and fastboot driver are installed.

- on the folder, hold shift and right click, click open command here

- type fastboot devices

- make sure your serial number appear.

- now flash the img of the missing file according to the partition in red text on your ms5 checksum failed one by one.

- e.g. "fastboot flash boot_aging boot_aging.img.

- make sure you flash all the missing partition.

- type fastboot reboot.

this will boot you to oos 3.1.2.

unfortunately I couldn't extract the newest oos dat. data. but you could always take the OTA

I used method 1 & then md5 checksum error occurred so I followed this set of instructions carefully & got my phone back.

Thanks a lot guys!

credits to naman for sharing the files!

You guys just made my day

Thumbs up!

Merry Xmas!!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] flexforall1:
it took my like 5 hours to search and figure this out but the OP instructions are not that good. that being said. if you are hard / soft bricked and want to use this. USE OPTION 2 METHOD 2. it works fine. i tried method 1, did not work got a bunch of failed errors like some other peeps on here. anywho have your drivers, turn off signature thing on the pc if using windows 8 and above. following that, follow the steps accordingly pretty easy.

and thanks OP for your work. saved my OP3 lol. back to OOS i guess.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Naman Bhalla:
Actually Yeah. The method 1 has the only advantage in not losing data. Though second can be modified to do so. MD5 error is a high possibility but for someone with not much time to download a big package, that can be a good try. Second method is almost official and will clean all the partitions.

I think driver signature thing is mentioned comprehensively in the thread though. Feel free to suggest any changes.

Regards.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] capisce1987:
Thanks OP!

My story, in short - OP3 was dead, no power, no charging indication (other then getting slightly warm after charging for a full day), no boot logo, nothing. After trying multiple times to complete the steps listed here, I've finally gotten through the whole process (including getting the green text), but the device still isn't showing any sign of life at all.

Did anyone have the same issue as me?

Any help/ input would be appreciated.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Did you try method 2?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] capisce1987:
Yup, goes all the way through the process, gets the green text, but still doesn't power on.

My question at this point is, is there any reason to continue trying, or is the device bad (hardware, I guess).

Does the mega unbrick tool work for bricked OP3 that was running open beta 9 with f2fs file system?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
That doesn't matter.. It basicly resets and empties your phone.

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

Does it show up on your PC? Have you tried the unbrick tool for to run as Administrator? Otherwise I would try to get it under warrenty and say that you got it after upgrading software.

Tried everything, to no avail. Already started setting up a warranty replacement. Thanks.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] slamor:
I thought I was lost. This all started when I was restoring back to factory, I unclicked allow OEM unlocking. I was going to relock bootloader. Then all hell broke loose. OP3 would not do anything but boot into fastboot mode. When reboot system it would flash green/yellow towards top of screen and vibrate kept flashing/vibrating until I would hold buttons to get back to fastboot mode. Recovery would let me wipe and factory reset, then back to vibrating with the colors again. I could not flash or sideload any nandroid.

I followed Method 2 step by step while sweating. It worked. I am sooo grateful for this thread.

---------- Post added at 14:14 ---------- Previous post was at 13:16 ----------

I think I understood how to do this. But for the ease of other people in the future, I highly request you change the name of the yellow coloured text in method to be "Download Full Restore Tool" or something close. This could potentially save many other stupid people like me. I saw the same text in method 1 & 2 so I kept using file from method 1 and kept failing. While I havn't fixed my OnePlus yet. But I think I am on the right path

Please take my suggestion and change the yellow coloured text in Method 2. Plz
