[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] FireflyII:
Guess what? I found the flashlight. I called the phone, answered by swiping the general location, and tapped around the screen listening to touch-tones until I had a decent sense of where the number pad is on the screen. After hanging up, I touched the fingerprint reader, tapped my password into what might be the location of the numbers, and then dragged down from the top of the screen to get to those tiles. Tapped a little here and a little there, and lo and behold, the flashlight toggles on and off!

So at this point, I'm not *sure* that I've logged into the phone, although it seems plausible, and confirmed that behind the darkness there is something running. If you're right about the wifi having been forgotten though, it may be hard to check on whether it's connected. I don't suppose you could share a screenshot of giving ADB permissions so that I have an idea of where on the screen to tap if the message is popping up. If I could get that to accept and then get into the phone with ADB to back up my files I would be far more at ease with sending the phone off for repair!

Current status: slightly less of a brick than before, but still a ways to go!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wangdaning:
Unfortunately the flashlight will toggle on even when locked. Also, depending on your lockscreen notification setting you would not be able to grant your computer adb access without the screen unlocked. Try holding the button combo to get to bootloader with the phone plugged in. That way you can hear a sound through the chromebook if it disconnects and reconnects. If you get that use fastboot devices to see if it is recognized. From there you could try to flash factory image without wipe and see if it helps.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] FireflyII:
Hm. I hadn't realized that the flashlight works from the lock screen. Any idea what else works from there? Is it possible to toggle wireless data, wifi, airplane mode, etc from the lock screen? I've been tapping around the area where the flashlight control is, but I don't know what, if anything, is being accomplished.

By a combination of button presses and the fastboot reboot-bootloader command, I'm reasonably certain that I'm getting it to boot to the bootloader (at least it tells me on the chromebook that it was successful in that), but there's still nothing on the phone's screen and I'm not sure what to do from there. How do I flash an image without wipe, and what would that accomplish? Ideally at this point I'd just like a way to either perform a backup or outright copy files from the phone to the computer, and I need a way to grant the permissions to allow that.

Thank you for helping!

To install the factory image without wiping data or internal storage edit the flash-all file. remove the minus w (-w) before update.

- Then connect your phone to the computer

- Open a Command prompt in the Platform-tools folder.

- At the command prompt type flash-all

If it is successful your phone should boot into the OS
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] fury683:
Do you have a USB keyboard handy? I just connected mine via the USB adapter in the box for my phone, rebooted and used it to put in my PIN and get into my phone. After rebooting I tapped the fingerprint sensor to show the PIN screen and typed my PIN on the numpad (had to turn numlock on) and pressed enter and it went to my home screen.

I swiped my notification shade down (two long swipes to get it to show the settings icon) and was able to use TAB to get to the settings gear (19 taps of tab...) and press enter to get to settings. From there you could try getting to the USB Debugging settings. Here are some screenshots to help with that:

Scroll to the very bottom of settings and pick System if you've already enabled Developer Options:

If you haven't enabled it before you have to go to About and scroll to the very bottom and tap Developer Options 7 (I think?) times. I can't remember if it requires a PIN to enable or not.... someone else might need to sound off on that one.

On the System screen about halfway down there is an Advanced rollup. Expanding that shows Developer Options:

Once you are on Developer Options what I did was touch just above my home button on Apply Automatic Updates. I slid my finger up so that it was even with the VOL UP button, that brought "Enable USB Debugging" to the area just above the home button. Toggle is on the right:

Also to build on what the others have said, if your bootloader is unlocked you could try flashing the factory image (remove -w from the flash-all.bat or sh to preserve data) to see if that gets it going. Hopefully the keyboard helps making things a little easier to move around.

--After I typed all that I realized there is a search bar in settings. Mine doesn't seem to be doing anything, might be a bug in Q. I connected the keyboard to my fiancee's Pixel 3 (not XL) and typing "USB Debug" didn't find anything but she has Developer Options off. Looks like you can search for whatever screen you're trying to get to and it should even scroll to that option if it's not on the screen. Once on a screen you can use the arrow keys to move through them and press enter to go into that screen. Might be a little easier to use a keyboard for navigation than going blind :)

Hope this helps!!!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wangdaning:
If you never rooted or installed twrp you should have factory recovery and could try an ota (would be blind hard button pushing). If bootloader unlocked you could try factory image without wipe. It would be a last attempt I guess. I think adb is available in stock recovery to do backup maybe (Again blind hard button pushing). If you have unlocked bootloader you could try to do a data backup with twrp, though that would be blind screen button pushing, which is not easy.

Somethings we need to know, did you unlock bootloader? What is the state of developer options?

I am only saying a factory image flash to see if your screen comes back. If it does not it must be some issue with the screen, not a software issue. Was the the phone ever dropped? Any reason a connection might have came loose?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] FireflyII:
I'm traveling today and will have to try this out tonight. Just to clarify a few things though, where are these files? I've flashed other phones with custom recovery and ROMs before, but not this one yet. Will it be obvious when I download the factory image?

Also, assuming that the process works, where does that put me? I understand how it would help if there is something corrupt that is keeping the phone from working correctly, but in that case I would expect the screen to show something, at least when rebooting. If the display is physically broken and the phone is otherwise working, does installing the factory image and letting it start up mean that it will let me connect with adb? I would expect the result to be either the same as where I am now, or possibly slightly worse if it resets to non-debug-over-usb mode! As I said, I'm up for trying it, but I'd like to know what changes to expect beforehand, if possible.

Thanks again.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jd1639:
It sure sounds like something happened to the screen to me. Could be a connector unplugged, bad display, etc. Flashing the factory image isn't going to help any of that.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] FireflyII:
Absolutely! I didn't know that you could use a keyboard to enter the PIN, that is certainly helpful! Thank you also for the screenshots and descriptive locations for things. I've got about another hour or so before I get home and can try these out, but thank you very much!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] fury683:
Happy to help, man. Let me know how it goes or if you need any more help. ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] FireflyII:
Well, I have something of a new development now. After traveling all day and not knowing for sure if the phone was on or off, I wasn't getting much from it on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, so I plugged it in, waited until I got the flashlight on, and left it to charge during the day while I attended to other things. This morning the alarm on the phone went off, and I swiped to the side...a bit later it rang again, so I assumed I had done "snooze" and swiped the other way. Again, it rang after a while, but this time I let it go. Once I had a moment, I pulled out the charger and tried the keyboard. Nothing. Now the phone is totally inert--it doesn't ring when called, the flashlight doesn't respond, and no amount of pressing and holding the buttons brings it back. However, almost as soon as I plug it in again, I am able to use the flashlight. Disconnect, nothing. This seems like a power issue to me. Ordinarily at this point I'd open up the phone to check out the battery (okay, honestly I'd have done that a while ago), but the phone is sealed. I found a tear-down guide on ifixit that suggests using suction cups and possibly a heat source to pry the thing open, but I don't have any suction cups on hand and am dubious about finding ones strong enough locally.

So to sum up:

The phone is a brick until I plug it in. At that point the little fingerprint sensor vibrates when touched, and I can toggle the flashlight on and off. I can disconnect the power and still have the flashlight working until I touch the fingerprint sensor again. At that point, it doesn't vibrate, but the phone returns to brick status.

*sigh*

Time to call Google again, I think.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] fury683:
Does it provide any power to the keyboard? If you turn the numlock or capslock on you might be able to see if the keyboard is powered.

I just plugged one in and tried it and found tapping spacebar brings up the PIN entry. Get it to boot, tap spacebar enter PIN and hit enter. Like I said, that might not do much if you can't confirm you're in without a screen...

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------

Also, have you tried using a wireless charger to see if that does anything differently? Might be useful to charge wirelessly and use the USB port for keyboard if it dies without a charger?

Just to add a comment about tab versions and its latest firmware: I bought mine from Amazon.de for about 200 euros a couple weeks ago, and indeed it's the newer C431, running v215 firmware (still emui 8.0).

Pretty dumb, because it's my understanding that CUST 431 is for potentially-branded phones (not this) and 432 is the open, "unlocked" European version (should be this case). I heard C432 devices tend to get faster updates, so if anyone has information about switching my C431 to C432, I'm all ears.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TheRemyx:
Hey guys,

I recently flashed Omnirom and after doing so, noticed I had no signal. After flash, reboot, or resetting Network/Data settings, I'll have data for about 20-30 seconds. I can browse the web, but I can't send or receive calls or messages. Then it goes away completely. It sporadically returns, but drops again quickly.

Carrier is Verizon. My Sim card is still being read so the issue doesn't seem to be there. I've put it back in my Pixel 2 and it's working fine.

At a high level, this is what I've done over the past 12 hours:

1. My bootloader is unlocked. I flashed a new ROM and then it wouldn't boot.

2. I did a Factory reset through Recovery and then it booted into the ROM, where I noticed I had no signal

--Possibly an issue here? This factory reset wasn't done thru TWRP, but the stock(?) recovery. I noticed that after doing this, it wiped everything on my phone, including my Nandroid backups

3. I did another factory reset, still no service

4. I moved sim card from Sim Slot 2 to Sim slot 1, temporarily restored service. Then dropped.

5. I flashed OOS 9.0.12 back, service came back temporarily, then dropped

6. I did a network reset, restored service temporarily, then dropped

7. I reflashed modem, system, and vendor images

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Otherwise, I'm probably going to send my phone back to OnePlus for repair.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
Try restoring through the msm tool.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
Have you wiped the cache?

It's not a hardware issue.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Scott:
I would also try the MSM tool to restore back to stock. Then reflash what you want for a ROM.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TheRemyx:
Thanks guys. Using MSM worked.

For those who may have the same issue, I used MSM to go back to 9.0.11 since a few people said they had issues with 9.0.12 such as not being able to unlock it. I restored 9.0.11, unlocked my device, then flashed the 9.0.12 OTA. Issue stayed resolved.

I did try to flash Omnirom again and the issue came back, so I'm curious as to what's happening. I'm going to try another Rom.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TheRemyx:
Just an update, this seems to happen with any rom I flash now. I tried Omnirom, Pixel Experience, and Syberia OS. They boot up but with no 4g connection. When I use MSM to go back to 9.0.11 or 9.0.12 everything works properly. Not sure what I may be missing?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] dj_ooms:
Out of curiosity, how are you installing your custom ROMs. I have installed quite a few custom ROMs in the last week or so and have not encountered any issues. I use a USB pendrive with an OTG adapter to install my stuff as the phone normally ends up in an encrypted state so the internal storage will not be accessible when booting into TWRP. Here are the steps I use when installing a custom ROM:

01. Boot into TWRP

02. Wipe, then swipe. You can choose to Format Data if you want, but this will erase your internal storage so you will lose your recent pictures and other media.

03. Install full OOS 9.0.11/9.0.12 depending on which version is required for the custom ROM and install TWRP also.

04. Reboot recovery.

05. Install full OOS 9.0.11/9.0.12 and TWRP again to ensure both slots have OOS install on it. Use the same version you installed in step 3.

06. Reboot recovery.

07. Install your custom ROM and TWRP.

08. Reboot recovery.

09. Wipe, then swipe (Do not format; unsure if this makes a difference).

10. Install GApps if needed (ROM dependent) and optionally install Magisk and a custom kernel.

11. Reboot system and then wait to setup the phone.

As stated, this has worked flawlessly for me and I have not run into any issues. Admittedly, I have not tried Omnirom directly, but I have tried Omnirom Treskmod (not available on XDA) and SkyDragon which are both based on Omnirom and did not have issues with either. I have tried maybe 10 different custom ROMs in the last week on so and have not had any problems. Still trying to find the best ROM for me. You could say that I'm a flashaholic. :D

I hope this helps.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TheRemyx:
Because I had erased all data on my phone, I was doing mostly everything from Fastboot or ADB Sideload in TWRP. So my previous steps were something like this:

1. Use MSM to restore OOS 9.0.11

2. Unlock Bootloader

3. Fastboot to TWRP 3.3.0.2

4. Install TWRP on both slots (ADB Sideload)

5. Reboot Recovery

6. Install 9.0.12 on both slots (ADB Sideload)

7. Install TWRP (ADB Sideload)

8. Reboot System to verify I have signal

9. Reboot Recovery

10. Install custom ROM and TWRP (ADB Sideload)

11. Format Data through TWRP

12. Reboot System (No signal)

I had also noticed that there was some system app or process that was repeatedly crashing, but I couldn't tell what it was because the popup notification would disappear so quickly.
