Hey,

I've been trying to fix my hard bricked OP3 for the past 2 days, and have followed every single guide I could find (every one involving Qualcomm drivers and MsmDownloadTool), and I always get stuck at the exact same point:

Phone is recognized by windows 10 pro in device manager (as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008), this is of course after holding down power for 40+ seconds, then releasing power and holding volume up for 10+ seconds before plugging in to my PC, open MsmDownloadTool as administrator (I've tried versions 3.0.2, 3.0.6, 3.0.8, & 4.0.8), device is recognized fine, and everything comes up as OK when I click verify in every version aside from mini (many things are not OK in mini version). When I click 'start' it goes through a few things in communication status, then it gets to "firehose getufsinfo", and every single time, that part fails (says "firehose getufsinfo failed" in red lettering), and stops working (after about 15-20 seconds every time).

The only reason my phone was bricked was with the most recent OTA update (I guess that'd be OOS 9.0.3?). Tried to talk with OnePlus chat, but they just said to send it in without trying anything remotely on my computer. It's a second hand phone, and some years old now, so I'm wondering, if this can't be fixed for whatever reason, if I should just look for another phone secondhand.

Anyone have any insight to this? I've read plenty of people having this issue, but I haven't seen anyone resolve it up to this point.

Any help is appreciated, but just know I've tried every suggestion I've read online (full version, mini version, different USB ports (2.0, 3.0, and 3.1), different PC's, windows allowing unsigned drivers to be installed, reinstalling drivers, trying plenty of different versions, etc).

Thanks!

Since you say that you have tried everything, try THIS

Also can you give me a link for the 4.0.8 version of the tool(without password)? Or supply the password also?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] d4v3thund3r:
Thanks for the new suggestion. Just tried it several times, and it basically just loops the process over and over (because holding down power and volume up seems to restart the phone after a short time). Regardless, it still fails at exactly the same spot as always, Firehose GetUfsInfo Failed.

Not sure if there's anything else that I could realistically try at this point. Just tried a different USB-C cable as well, same result.

Here's a wetransfer link for version 4.0.8 (no password needed, afaik).

https://we.tl/t-CxDGtwhaOc

Let me know if you guys have any other suggestions.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TNSMANI:
Thanks for the link.

By the way, are you using Intel or AMD Ryzen PC? Try Intel.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] d4v3thund3r:
I'm using Intel. Have tried on 2 different PC's, both with Intel processors. Both Windows 10.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TNSMANI:
Sorry, ran out of ideas since you say that you have tried everything mentioned in this thread. May be a hardware fault.

The device was boot looping with an md5-checksum-failed red message and now I was just able to get into fastboot mode, What to do next?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TNSMANI:
I have answered this in the other thread.

Ensure that the phone is recognised as Qualcomm 9008 and use Method 2 of this tool. Don't switch tools midway.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] hissan147:
yeah got it, I've just completed the method two, and after reboot, The device is showing white battery fill animation, let me charge it and chek again.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TNSMANI:
Sorry for the late reply, but you don't need any password. The files are not password protected.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Deadpooler:
Hi, so I tried both method 1 and 2 multiple times and after giving up I sent it to RMA, they told me it was the motherboard and the screen and they wanted to charge me 160euro for that, no way, so I replaced the motherboard since I think they said it was the screen due to a scratch I had. Now I'm trying again to boot my OP3 alive and no luck, so far with method 2 I only get the oneplus - android Splash screen and afterwards a black screen with a white led, no recovery access only fastboot. Tried with other versions of MSMDownloadTool and no luck.

Hey everyone,

I don't know how, but my OP3 recently transformed itself into a brick ?

It was just laying on my desk with WhatsApp running in the background (connectet to WA-web). As I tried to unlock it, the phone was extremely slow, but I didn't think that much about that and ignored it for some time. Later I tried to reboot (long-pressing the power-button) but nothing happened. Absolutely no reaction.

What I tried:

First of all: connecting the phone to the PC - that worked pretty well. Windows immediately had the right driver loaded and it was recognized as something QC 9008 (I also tried the other drivers from #1)

Flashing the OS wasn't that successfull. None of the Methods are working they always end with some Error-Messages like "sahara......failed" or MSM starts loading the first file to the phone and crashes while loading this file with an Error message like "*something* check *something* failed"

Does anyone have an idea how to get some Software on the phone? Thanks in advance ?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TNSMANI:
When connected to the PC, if it is instantaneously recognised in download mode, you have to use the Unbrick Tool to get the phone running. You may have to use it a few times. If not successful, search for the updated tool. There are atleast a couple of them available. Go through the steps slowly and carefully and don't skip any step.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] djfelix13:
I've found this guide, but I'll loose all my data, right?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] djfelix13:
I've just tried to unbrick with the Android 9-Version linked in my above post. The only thing I get is "Firehose check RSP failed".

I'll try that again on an old WinXP-machine, but yesterday MSM on XP couldn't find my device though it was listed as QC 9008 in devmgr :confused:

Update: I couldn't flash anything to it - it's showing absolutely no reaction at all - nothing. I can stay on the power button for as long as I want to, no vibration, nothing on the screen, it's just heating up more and more while connected to a USB-power source.

Hi, I followed the method 2. Now my op3 can access to the recovery but only for a few seconds, can't do nothing. The battery should be so low that the phone can't even boot on. What can I do? I'm charging with the dashcharge but seems like the phone isn't even charging.

OP3 Power button failure (invalid cache)

Help needed,

There is a OP3. Device was with faulty power button. Power button stripe was replaced, but still no function. Device was unlocked and secure boot enabled last OOS version was 9.04 with TWRP.

I tried to get to Recovery (volume down + charger cable, then volume down release at first screen). Did not enter into recovery only to Options menu of Power Off, Restart, Recovery, Fastboot, Back to previous page.

Due to power button failure I could not proceed from options menu.

I have used Mini Unbrick tool (method-1) and it did not help either. It indicated faulty partitions (cache, system etc)

Then I proceeded with Full Unbrick tool (method-2) with user data preservation patch. It finished OK, but phone still does not boot into System nor Recovery and it says faulty cache partition.

Any ideas how to fix the faulty cache? How to get fastboot or adb working?

OR how to download user data / card content and proceed with a full wipe?

I really do not want to loose data, as I have TWRP backup and Titanium backup on the memory of the phone.

Any idea is much appreciated :confused:

Which PC are you trying it on, Intel or AMD Ryzen? Try it on Intel PC. Also if you are using Win 10, did you disable signature verification?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sam_ans:
i try pc intel

a disable signature
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TNSMANI:
A few things you can try before concluding that it is hardware issue.

Try different Intel PCs, cables.

Try the later MSM Tools which you can find in this forum itself, HERE

Try the steps patiently, don't skip any step.

Try different drivers for the phone, though the original ones that came with the phone should work.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sam_ans:
i try another pc and everything good but last step msmtool said (sahara communication failed please try again after power off phone)

i try this solution volume+ and power but not Success
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TNSMANI:
When connecting, does the Device Manager recognise the phone as Qualcomm HS USB? Or as QHUSB_BULK? Are you trying Method 2? Try downloading the Tool and the OS again.

Did you try the later Tools? If they too fail, you may have a hardware issue.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] njumh:
i was trying over and over again but no result

Sorry to bring back a dead thread but..

Found my old OP3 I wanted to restore for my daughter to use (shes only 5) but the phone is hard bricked. I dont know what the hell I was doing or how it happened but I do remember playing around with ROMs and I somehow deleted the ROM and now the phone wont boot into anything. I can try to boot into TWRP but just freezes on the TWRP logo. If I boot normally it shows the normal screen to press the power button to power on normally but almost instantly goes to another start up screen that says "DM-Verity is not started in enforcing mode and may not work properly" then tried to boot and gets stuck on the OP logo.

I've download all the drivers and installed them (at least to my knowledge its installed correctly), I have rebooted the computer with Driver Signature disabled, and no luck getting the phone recognized by computer (Held Volume up 10s, plugged into computer and nothing happens. I held volume up for easily 10mins while plugged in.)

Help?? I'm completely lost and we're looking to do a 10 hour roadtrip and I'd rather not have to buy a new phone/tablet.... PLEASE HELP ME!! hahah
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] itrystuff:
Maybe just wait some minutes when TWRP screen is displayed. On my device it took longer and longer too load when the internal storage is full of data. I think it took 2-3 minutes. Maybe you gave up too early, I don't know.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] duhhhst:
Tried it before but just for kicks I'm trying it again. Currently at 16mins and still at the TWRP screen...

Check your cable and ports. Use a different cable and port. May be even a different computer/laptop. Might be a loose connection.

I flashed somehow but screen not working
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] IW4:
Man, I really didn't want to have to write this, but maybe someone has a better idea than me.

I've been using method 2 for days on my softbricked OP3, since I don't care about the data on it, but universally get the Sahara error. What I'm noticing is that when I get it connected in EDL and press Start, it does the Firehose download, then immediately disconnects and reconnects thrice; I can see the status go from Connected to N/A and back, and it likewise disappears from Device Manager and gives the disconnected sound. 15 seconds later, it errors out. I've done this on five different PCs, with four different types of cables, on six different software versions, but the end result is always the same. It seems like the common denominator is either the phone or me, and I'm not about to count either out.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TNSMANI:
Hopefully the PCs were Intel and not AMD Ryzen. And by saying different software versions, you mean different versions of the Tool. If not, try the other versions available in a link in post no.766 above.

And on you being one of the common denominators, your role is very limited. If the download starts, then it is automatic. So you can count you out.

If all that has been done, I have nothing more to offer. I am also stumped.

EDIT: You are on Win 10 right? Also check THIS article, if you have not so far seen it.

Hi there

an interesting post ....

i have an asus Zenfone 5 ZC600KL X017DA currently stuck on the Asus logo have attempted to run the recovery via the volume and power buttons but nothing coes up i only get CSC fastboot displayed

have come across some fastboot commands also was included in one of the firmware i downloaded and phone is seen by ADB fastboot as its S/N appears following instructions from the Rom all i get is permission denied and partitition is write protected so from what i understand is the bootloader is locked

most research i have done so far has always kept pointing to needing debugging enabled or commands to unlock bootloader that always keeps being denied

but since the phone wont boot i am kinda screwed and being a Qualcomm chipset its rather frustratingly new to me as i am ok flashing MTK cipsets using SPFT

and before i forget i have tried using the Qfil flashtool but i kept getting errors on that such as failed firehose and another Sarah error or something of that nature

so is there anything you can suggest maybe what you mentioned in your post but for the Asus

many thanks

My OP3 was in complete working order, running RR (butter btw, but the camera seemed way less quality than stock so I had to go back). I just used this guide to go back to stock to get the impending update. everything worked perfectly. Was reading Qualcomm 9008 without even updating, so that was nice. Thanks to the OP and everyone involved.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JHthe4:
I have now been able to notice that the device registers on the PC as Qualcomm Diagnostics ...

It seems that the phone is entering a new mode, possibly because it is somehow damaged. I can still enter the bootloader at this time and have tried flashing the stock recovery multiple times, and although it says the flash was successful, it still exhibits the same behavior when trying to boot into recovery. Do you have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I have a problem with my OnePlus 3.

I wanted to upgrade Oxygen OS. So i locked the bootloader. It never restarted after doing that ...

I unbricked it using the Method 2. It started normally until i have this message "to start android, enter your password".

I tried PIN codes without success. Does somebody know what i have to enter ?

Thank you for helping me ;)

Go to TWRP, > advanced > file manager, then search in /data/system and look for these lines:

-gatekeeper.pattern.key

-locksettings.db

-locksettings.db-shm

-locksettings.db-wal

Delete them, done! ;)

And you don't need to lock the bootloader to get updates.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Naman Bhalla:
Who at all told to check MD5s? I have edited some files and deleted some for method 1, so it will fail. So, just run the tool and you will be fine.

As said above, method 1 is a mini tool with highly reduced size, mainly because of this same reason.

Only follow the steps mentioned here.

And guys, NEVER EVER EVER Lock bootloader unless phone is completely stock.

Thank you very much for this tool. My phone was unresponsive and showed nothing but a black screen. Using the tool, I was able to get the phone to boot again.

The problem i am still having is that I can't flash a recovery image and the phone won't boot into OOS. When I try to enter recovery or system, the phone would show a blank black screen and a white led light on the top left corner would appear. Bootloader, however, works without an issue and using fastboot commands to flash recovery will also show successful.

@Naman Bhalla or anyone else, are there any recommendations to help me fix this problem? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
