Need Help Here Please

Have OP3 which was running good on RR 7.1.1. I wanted to try Experience ROM v3.0 which I tried flashing. it failed with a corrupt zip file error. After that I did a full wipe via TWRP, data, cache, system. Tried installing RR again, was stuck at Patching System Image Unconditionally. Force closed the phone and tried a different ROM, same issue.

Was able to boot in TWRP so tried your Method 1 and 2. Device detected as RELINK USB. The MSM tool doesn't detect the phone, it doesn't show up on device list on any of the ports.

Finally installed the latest OTA Zip file using TWRP. It allowed me to boot into the phone. I thought all the partitions must have been fixed and hence tried installing a custom ROM, yet same issue of patching.

Please help. I want to flash a custom ROM without this error. Is there any way to fix or restore the partition tables to stock. Any different method ? Going to try on a different PC tomorrow to see if there the phone is detected.

Bricked my phone trying to install the Beta v10 and was getting the sahara error message in MSMDownloadTool. Had it multiple times in a row and was about to call it quits until I left if for a while on that message and it started downloading the system img. Phone is now working (had to adb sideload).

I had tried 3 different usb ports, don't know if that made a difference.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] phrozenwire:
Please help.

Tried method 2. Failed to download system.img.

Restarted and tried method 1 : Device doesnt boot into recovery. I have fastboot access. No recovery.

System : Failed

Recovery : OK

MD5 checksum error.

Urgent help ... !!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ikaraca:
i couldnt not get any of these methods working for me. i got the phone in 9008 mode in the com port and got the msm software working, but system image always fails when it is always about to be done, when i try to turn the phone on after nothing after the logo, i could go into recovery but i cant do anything. one thing tho, the full unbrick rar file may be corrupt, because every one that i t download gave me a crc corrupt file error when it is about to finish extracting. so anybody has an idea what might be the issue? and does anybody know where i can get the system and nlos kind of img files of the rom to replace with them inside the folder?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ikaraca:
after many attempts and downloads and usb ports, method 2 finally worked. but the attempt that worked didnt fail while extracting as i previously witnessed. so i assume it was a bad download.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] kiamo:
I cant get either method 1 or 2 to work. I've tried multiple usb ports and cables.

The phone comes up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in device manger.

In Msm when I click start the phone disconnects and reconnects then gives me the sahara communication error.

Any idea?

The phone went black while wiping cache in TWRP. That's why I'm doing this now.

It's a oneplus 3t

Noticed there are tools for the oneplus 3t exclusively. Trying now, getting that nice green download bar. :)

Bricked Device?

Guys, a bit of help.

I clean flashed the new OOS 4.0, coming from the 30dez RR-N Unoff by Eliminator.

That worked, but encrypted my system. I couldn't access the recovery, was asking for a pass.

So I formatted everything, and now trying to go back to RR 5.7.4 M. I tried Eliminators and Takers builds. Both are stuck at the RR logo.

I flashed 3.2.8 firmware, followed by

ROM

Nano 6.0 Open Gapps

Ex Kernel 0.39(CM)

SuperSU 2.79

Xposed v87

TB

Followed this for both the Official and Unofficial build.

Both stuck at the RR logo.

Do I need the modified .28 TWRP?

I wanted xposed, so I wanted to downgrade back to M

Tried something

Flashed the modified TWRP, and tried flashing OOS 3.2.8 and SuperSU 2.79

Getting this error now

Encryption Unsuccessful
Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible
To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google Account.

Here, there is a button to reset the phone, but pressing that does nothing. Pressing the power button gives me the options of powering off the device, rebooting, and taking a screenshot.

I went into fastboot then and did a fastboot erase userdata.

Then I booted into TWRP and did a format all, typed yes(that keeps changing the data partition to F2FS, so I changed it to exFat)

I flashed OOS 3.2.8 again, followed by SU again.

Got the same Encryption Unsuccessful message again, with the same option to reset the phone, which is not working.

Tried the 3.2.4 firmware, and then I flashed OOS 3.2.8 along with SU 2.79 again, in the hopes that if it boots properly, I will clean flash BJRR 5.7.4.

First I got error 7.

Formatted everything again and flashed again

Still getting the Encryption Unsuccessful message.

What to do?

I'll try flashing BJRR M directly this time.

I think the issue was after installing the new OOS 4.0 update, it encrypted my phone, and I flashed stuff before unencrypting it, I thought format option in TWRP would remove encryption.

Help please.

Edit: Its been 15 mins, BJRR 5.7.4 still stuck at the RR logo.

I used the following steps to restore my android (do not follow these unless you are sure what you are doing):

1. Downloaded method 2 driver and tool

2. Installed driver (not needed to disable driver signature enforcement) on latest Windows 10 (I am using Linux, so I've done everything in VirtualBox. Works absolutelly the same with Windows 10 as host OS)

3. Turned off completelly my phone

4. Holded 10 sec Vol up button

5. While holding, connected to my PC

6. Device Manager discovered my device (as 9008). All good :)

7. Ran as administrator the toolkit executable file (in that toolkit extracted folder)

8. Pressed start

9. Waited for quite like 5 minutes. Green text came up.

10. My phone "rebooted" and started to charge while turned off.

------------------------------------

11. Disconnected my phone.

12. Turned it into download mode and connected to PC

13. Flashed TWRP (link above) (adb flash recovery twrp.........zip)

14. Rebooted into TWRP

15. Performed factory reset, deleted Cache & Dalvik cache.

16. ROM (LOS14.1), Kernel (ElementalX), Wifi mod, AKT moved to a single folder.

17. Pushed that folder into /sdcard/ (adb push <folder> /sdcard/)

18. Flashed "Firmware & Modem 4".

19. Flashed LOS14.1

20. Flashed GAPPS

21. Flashed ElementalX

22. Flashed AKT

23. Flashed WiFi mod

24. Rebooted

Took like 5 minutes (screen might goes black during boot), but it loads.

Again, this post was written for everyone to read (purely FYI) who are not sure how to proceed to have fully working Android phone with latest Android.

My Oneplus 3 bricked after performing the steps in METHOD 1 as you suggested.

Before to that i was able to go to RECOVERY, but stuck in BOOTLOOP.

Now, get message as FAILED and uploading the screenshot.

Let me know, what can be done.

Method 2 is the best option.

Confirmed. My device seemed to be dead. No LED, no vibration, black screen. Pressing any button didn't do anything.

With method 2 I got it working again.

I had try metode 1 and resulte you can see it in a picture .

Any help please?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paulikid:
Better try method 2. The tool in method 1 is just a minimal version, method 2 uses the full version. As the guide says, when there is no hardware damage then method 2 is working in any condition.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ganesh.Kumar.U:
Life saviour.

Wow Naman Bhalla, you are a life saviour.

Method 2 worked like a charm on OP3.

I had CM14 nightly installed previously. When i got nightly update, i just did download and install. The phone never booted, rather had a black screen. Was able to go into fastboother thou.

Still with wrong recovery flashes (my half baked enthu) and oem lock, i made it worse. The phone ended up just showing the oneplus3 logo for a fraction of a second and back to black screen. LED notification light was 'ON' on the top left side.

I panicked and stumbled upon this thread. What a life saviour. Tried only Method 2. Had troubles since I am new to this. But finally its working.

Thanks thanks thanks to all the contributors.

pc (not even linux or windows) can't detect it when I connect my phone.. it does not even display unknown device or anythig... how to unbrick this?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fi_Mat:
Hi, I tried both methods but they did'n work. When i connect my device to PC holding volume up button it appears in device manager as "RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)", and i can't update the driver (it says "The best driver software for your device is already installed").

When I launch the MsMDownloadTool and press "start" it stucks and nothing happens.

Any idea? Every help would be very appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for this guide, one of my friend bricked his OP3 and we got it working with method 2. We also tried using the first method, however we were not able to boot into recovery, even after flashing twrp and stock recovery over and over again.

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

It is important to run the programm as administrator. Did you do this? For me it looks like you have the right driver installed.

Yes, I did... but the tool doesn't work

In the many years I use android now and flash roms etc, I never had a problem with bricking a device, but somehow now there is a problem.

After following the guide (method 1) I still can't get in the recovery with and I can't boot into system. All I see is this:

Any suggestions?

I can get into flashmode/bootloader but when I flash a recovery myself (TWRP) and reboot into recovery I get the image above.

Tried rerunning the unbrick method, but the result is the same over and over again.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nikhilsnigam:
method 2 is your solution.

Also make sure you have all drivers installed and signaturr verification disabled if using windows.

Going to do that now.... Did not understood method 2, but I see now the tiny but important difference between mini and full recovery tool...

I need Help!

Hello,

I can only boot into the fastboot mode with the green START at the top of the screen. I can't get this unbricked. When i use the msmdownload tool and verify everything is validated as OK but the software can't find the device.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as my phone is out of commission and I've been working on this all night and today and spinning my wheels.

Thanks,

Jimmy

Update: i was able to load another Rom. Really weird, maybe the stock rom i was loading was bad.

Hello, I didn't follow your guide as I am "only" soft-bricked. I mean, I got a bootloop after flashing xposed, and the uninstaller did not the job.

Well, I tried to restore my first Nandroid backup, but here again, I'm stuck on the Oneplus logo...

So I came here, and downloaded your rom "OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_008_all_1606122244_e0cfc5ffc8bf411a.zip". But when I've flashed it, and wanted to reboot into system, TWRP told me "no OS installed"!! I tried twice, re-downloaded, always the same... Do you have a functionning stock rom please [MENTION=5641921]Naman Bhalla[/MENTION]?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dewri21:
Flashed H2OS and it gave me nothing but bootloops. So I wiped everything except internal storage (of course) and restored the stock rom. But now I am stuck in the boot logo. Recovery and fastboot are still accessible though. So should I go with the method 2?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Naman Bhalla:
Hey. I remember you. I think we did talk in OP2 times, right ? Good.

Actually this issue has come to my notice a lot times through many people. Can't say why it is because it isn't for everyone. So, I will have to test. You can use Method 2 with trick to avoid wiping data.

Try to clean flash full stock rom 3.1.2 from downloads.oneplus.net . If it doesn't work, method 2.

I think i need to just flash boot.img, userdata.img, system.img and cache.img anyone knows where to download them? Thanks!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Naman Bhalla:
That failed is not any issue. It is just because I haven't edited md5 file of deleted system files. Nothing wrong from there. Try the method again and then try method 2.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mike_11shots_11:
oh I see, method 2 is full rom flash via msmdownload tool.

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] néonaloj:
Well I think you must remember me because we talked in OP1 times!

So, I'm sorry not to try the second method, but this is because I've a working twrp, but only to flash custom roms!!

I mean, I couldn't restore my Nandroid stock backup, could'nt flash your rom (given here), couldn't flash OP3Lite rom, in fact all roms or backup in touch with OOS... If I try, I always get stuck on Oneplus logo. I tried with the both TWRP we have available. As I'm stuck on boot Oneplus logo, I even tried to flash a custom kernel... Still same issue.

BUT my system IS working with any other roms. And that's the reason why I don't want to use your unbrick method.

To summarize, I only have problems with "OOS roms or backups", nothing to do to have them working, but custom roms are fine.

And I wish I could use OOS, at least restore my first backup, but it fails...

Only you can understand what happens to me, but do you have a solution, as even your stock rom isn't working?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] hunhool:
I was on stock rooted Oos...then decided to try a custom rom.Didn't like it,so from recovery I restored my backup...won't accept my pin.tried this tool but method 1 was unsuccesfull ,then followed method 2 and the phone booted up,but my pin still won't accepted...it looks like I need to do a full wipe using method 2.hopefully works...

Soft bricked OP3

I think I've soft bricked my OP3...

I had systemless root, which was working fine, but after installing a new xposed module and rebooting, got stuck on the spinning red boot logo. I can get into recovery / TWPR, and have tried restoring my backup image, but now stuck on Oneplus/ android text logo.

Suggestions?

[MENTION=5641921]Naman Bhalla[/MENTION] But what if my device is well recognized as Oneplus3? Should I install the drivers to make it a Qualcomm device?

I don't understand why it's only with OOS roms and backup that this happens, custom roms work fine.. Thanks!!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Naman Bhalla:
I will be having an OP3 in hands within 36 hrs. Then only I can tell. Probably it is related to forced encryption on OxygenOS. Can you try flashing the ROM and then ElementalX kernel and then reboot?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] néonaloj:
Thanks for your reply,

As I said here, because I'm stuck on the Oneplus logo, I've tried a custom kernel, that was ElementalX, no success... (still Oneplus logo)

I've décrypted the phone using the command "fastboot format userdata", and that because I was asked to put a password after having unlocked the bootloader.

That's for the informations. Thanks for your help, much appreciated!

As said I tried with both TWRP available, what I can't understand is that I've no problem with all custom roms, only with OOS related roms or backup...

When I try to flash official Oxygen Os 3.1.2, the flash itself goes well, saying "succesfully" done. But when I want to reboot, it says "no OS installed". See screens.

I really don't understand...

This isn't working for me. I'm trying method 2 as I can't boot into recovery nor stock. Only bootloader.

Everything is OK under verification result but still nothing is working.

This thread saved my day!

Firstly, A big big Thanks to Bro Naman Bhalla for this awesome mega unbrick guide for OP3.

It really saved my day! Let me share my experience what brought me to this soft-bricked condition.. I was on OP3 OOS 4.0.1 with bootloader unlocked, TWRP 3.0.2-1 recovery, rooted and OOS 4.0.2 OTA (30MB) has downloaded, tap here to install update noti showed up and I stupid enough to tap it and boom... my phone is stuck (looping) at TWRP recovery, I couldn't come out by any ways. And I had to use this Method 1 (It didn't work for me) and Method 2 to get my phone back to boot. I lost all my data and it's clearly my mistake.. I have to deal with it. Let me thank again to this bro! Cheers up!!

And to the bros who stuck at msmdownload tools error message "Sahara communication failed please try again power off phone", just don't unplug the phone from the PC, keep it plugged in and just press Vol up + Power button and it works like a charm. Credit to a youtube video I found..

Cheers bros!

Now, I have to restore all my personal data and re-download apps.. The night's still young.. ;)
