Do you have twrp installed or you have a phone with a locked bootloader and you reached root threw flashing a modfied boot img threw Odin... (Last time I had a Dr Ketan rom was when I had my galaxy 7 edge)

Well, first I've flashed twrp via odin, I've reboot phone in recovery at first attempt what really surprised me. Then in recovery I've flashed pie root for OEM. And after that I've stuck for a while didn't known which option to choose. But I've just click Next, yes, next and five minutes later phone was rooted. I've check results with root checker but it wasn't rooted. Till next restart. And of course I've download and install magisk and flashed recovery. I've made all backups and titan backup just in case. And I've turned off Google play updates. I've just followed instructions carefully I'm still confused about, what next? I was tying to find what is after root. But I couldn't find anything bout that. All atemps finishing differently based on devices and software versions. No, I'm sure that I have did that root correctly, there was no leaf clover, you know ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] PoochyX:
Well after rooting you start building up your daily driver the way you like it with the apps you want...

And the customizations yuu want for your phone.... You should install a adblocker for your phone so you won't get any ads since you rooted you can go with adaway use a host file and have ads blocked don't have to worry about a background service to block ads which utlizies memory that could be going somewhere else and battery life like non rooted people have to deal with... Even tho if your phone has alot or memory to spare you can use adguard which has a mode for root users also but it's always running in the background

Before root I couldn't wait when I'll start doing all those things, you know what I mean, that's what I call personalisation. Something totally by me. For me. But now I'm afraid to not broke it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] PoochyX:
Just periodically do backups in twrp so if you mess up you can always revert the backup and you be exactly where you wore before the error so you wouldn't have to factory restore and if you do modifications to the system partition as well then in that case a rom reflash cause a factory restore doesn't fix system partition errors cause that partition is read only can only be accessed via root permissons or threw twrps file manager which you would have to mount system partition in twrp first then twrp file manager can access it

Hello ALL!

I normally don't message much because usually I can find most of my problems can be fixed by searching threads online. However, this particular case for me has been exhausting because through trial and error I have been unsuccessful in getting my 6T to boot into any rom normally.

I went from a stock T-Mobile to International version to LOS. The reason I did what I did was because I could get a IMEI or SIM to register on LOS. That worked fine on OOS 9.0.11. but as soon a I flash the latest LOS, no sim, bootloader, or IMEI detection.

I was rooted and unlocked. Now I am neither.

While on LOS, someone on another forum suggested to erase the persist partition and reflash to get the sim imei back so the phone would get service, when the phone rebooted it still didn't work and then the second time it rebooted it always gets stuck on the boot screen and never boots into the OS.

I tried to repair and reflash but was unsuccessful.

Since doing all of that, Ive reflashed using msm tool and although that was successful for OOS 9.0.11 and T-Mobile stock rom. It gets stuck on the boot screens for both.

I flashed LOS on A & B so I don't have a stock recovery.

I can't ADB anymore. I can only seem to connect via FASTBOOT but cannot seem to flash anything because the BOOTLOADER is now LOCKED.

How can I get this phone back to its original state? What ever the persist partition is. Removing it had made the phone non-bootable.

What can I do to fix? I greatly appreciate any help to get the phone operational again.

Thank you all!

- Go to the thread linked above and download the latest OOS (.13) stable.

- Download latest Magisk.

- Have the latest TWRP .img downloaded and on-hand, you will use a few times as well as the installer .zip.

- Be sure to have adb/fastboot installed.

***BACK UP DATA, YOUR PHONE WILL BE WIPED. INTERNAL SD AS WELL***

***BACK UP DATA, YOUR PHONE WILL BE WIPED. INTERNAL SD AS WELL***

***BACK UP DATA, YOUR PHONE WILL BE WIPED. INTERNAL SD AS WELL***

- Put your phone into fastboot mode (reboot to bootloader).

- Go to the folder you downloaded in the first step and run the "flash all.bat".

- Ignore errors. If it's get stuck for more than 45 seconds, just hit enter to keep it going.

- OOS will boot. Go to settings, enable developer setting, enable advanced reboot and reboot bootloader again.

- Use "fastboot boot 'twrp-file-name'.img" to boot into TWRP.

- In TWRP, go to Reboot and changed the boot partition to the one NOT CURRENTLY enabled. In other words, switch boot partitions.

- Reboot bootloader.

- Go to the folder you downloaded in the first step and run the "flash all.bat" again.

- OOS will boot. Go to settings, enable developer setting, enable advanced reboot and reboot bootloader again.

- Use "fastboot boot 'twrp-file-name'.img" to boot into TWRP again.

- Move Magisk installer and TWRP installer from steps two and three onto the internal memory of your device.

- Flash TWRP, reboot recovery to make sure it sticks.

- Flash Magisk for root.

- Wipe dalvik and reboot system.

You will have the latest stable OOS on both partitions at this point! I literally just did this yesterday. Good luck!

Thank you but how can I flash if my bootloader is locked? Everything I try fails.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] defcondoc:
I guess the real question is: How can I get the phone to turn on OEM UNLOCK so I can fastboot unlock the Bootloader if it wont boot up the OS?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] defcondoc:
Is there a way to fix it via the msmdownload tool? Custom file maybe? I've tried the files 9.0.11 & 12 OOS files and all I get is the boot screen white ball logo circling the red ball - stuck in loop and same with stock t-mobile rom.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Causical:
My friend, sounds like you need to restore your EFS partitions

... I'm trying to figure out how the hell you successfully flashed MSM tool in EDL mode and not have ALL your partitions restored. That tool is supposed to literally write the phone as it came out of the box. Also I think there are different MSM tools for each device respectively, you did use the T-Mobile one right?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] defcondoc:
My thoughts exactly. So, when it was on LOS I erased the persist partition and that really messed things up. So yes, how can I restore the partition back with a locked bootloader? Every time I've used MSM tool it fixes everything. This time no such luck. I flashed 9.0.11 & 12 and then I did the T-Mobile version. All only boot to the boot screen and hang. In doing so, I wasn't thinking if that failed and it locks the bootloader, then what? I saw an old video somewhere on a oneplus 2 or 3 where the person used the msm tool 3.0 and fixed a bricked locked bootloader phone. Similar to the fastboot method of reformatting. In the msm tool folder he had all the image files for all the partitions not sure if that the same thing as msm tool 4.0 with just one ops image file?

Anyway, is there a way to unlock the bootloader without booting into the OS? Or a way to restore the partitions via msm tool?

... Not even sure what it is really, just says collection of unbrick tools.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] defcondoc:
Yes, I did try that. That is what I just flashed with the msm tool. Gets stuck on the OOS boot animation.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] defcondoc:
Looks like the MSM tool. I'm going to give 9.0.13 a try but I'm thinking I may have the same problem.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] defcondoc:
Tried 9.0.13. Still gets stuck on OOS boot animation screen. There's got to be something to flash to fix this.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Causical:
So you're booting EDL mode then flashing the MSM tool that exactly matches the way your phone came stock? At this point I would discontinue trying to convert it to international or upgrade the OS to a more recent version or any of that. I would focus on strictly flashing it to exactly the way you bought it.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] defcondoc:
Yes. I did flash the stock T-Mobile ROM via the MSM tool. Freezes at the pink T-Mobile boot screen. Pretty sure the partitions need to be fixed but I thought the MSM tool would do that? I guess not. Is there a more advanced MSM tool where I can see what's being partitioned or is the MSM tool not doing any partitioning and that's why the phone is having the boot problem?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Scott:
I know this is a stupid question but have you tried a factory reset in recovery mode? I know its a stupid question but I did not see it asked or noted.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] defcondoc:
No stupid questions and I don't mind repeating answers to questions. I have tried that, but it does nothing. I get wipe cache or reboot to fastboot or reboot to recovery. When I choose system wipe, it takes 1 second to finish. It reboots and it gets stuck on the boot screen. Ever since persist partition was deleted it just freezes on startup and now that the bootloader is locked I cant seem to get anything to work. MSM tool I thought was supposed to fix this sort of thing but it has failed. Someone must know a way to get back into the OS so I can turn on OEM Unlock.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Causical:
How do you know your bootloader is locked?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] defcondoc:
Fastboot says bootloader is locked. Shows it on the fastboot screen. Wont let me transfer any files from pc to phone. I can start the transfer process but it fails.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Causical:
So you're able to enter EDL mode with a locked bootloader? How do you know your computer is seeing your device in EDL mode?

I'm going to place this here for myself for now. I'm just trying to understand your situation a little better, but this is just for later.... maybe, depending on your answer. https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/guide-how-to-reboot-to-edl-fastboot-t3394292/page12

ALSO; If you don't mind can you link the thread that contains the original discussion where your problem began?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Scott:
The point of EDL is to get around any restrictions or issues with the device, so yes, you can boot to EDL while locked. Your link will not help much because he can already get to EDL. Not to mention he will have no ADB access. Whatever he does, he has to fix it in EDL.

OP: Are you up and running yet? I am willing to try copying out my partition and sending to you.

Let me know...

Wait, I just realized that my persist.img would not work because he has no way to flash it.

Nevermind.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Causical:
Why can't he flash it in EDL? Why doesn't MSM flash persist?

Can't he use like QPST or something?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] defcondoc:
Nope, still down. I do have a persist image. But you're right I cannot flash it because of the locked bootloader. You're completely right. NO ADB access, only Fastboot and MSM tool. But cant do much with a locked bootloader. I tried to flash 9.0.5 with MSM tool and it completed but gave a HW SW mismatch. 9.0.11,12,13 all work and the T-Mobile stock rom works but wont load past the boot screen. And yes, it has to be fixed in EDL with MSM or something else. No idea why its not fixing it but it seems like the MSM tool wont recreate something that's missing?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Causical:
What happens if you use All-In-One tool to unlock bootloader? I know this is stupid, but you don't really leave many options...
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] defcondoc:
That was the first thing I tried after two failed attempts with not being able to boot into the OS. The All-In-One too will not unlock it. When unlock is clicked you get:

Unlocking Bootloader...FAILED (remote: 'Flashing Unlock is not allowed')

Finished. Total time: 0.000s

Press any key to continue . . .

I appreciate you trying to think of things to help with this. I had a neighbor friend who didn't believe me that MSM Tool didn't fix it. So I gave him the phone and he tried and same result, msm tool flashes just fine but when it reboots it doesn't get past the boot screen animation or logo. Unfortunately, his knowledge of this sort of thing stops there. He thinks I might be SOL, but I don't believe it just yet.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Causical:
Sounds like you literally need personal dev attention. It seems to me like somehow you're going to have to get a modified flash with a pre-unlocked bootloader. Someone's going to have to clone their device... No matter, you'll just be sharing the same IP addresses ?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] defcondoc:
Sounds about right. Anyone willing to help? Has that worked in the past? If so, I'll do my own backups in the future in case something like this happens again. At least then once it's fixed, then I can re-flash with my own OS.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] lssong99:
Suddenly My Pixel 3 XL fingerprint sensor stopped working and when I tried to unlock with fingerprint, a message says "fingerprint hardware not available" appears at lower bottom of lock screen. The phone does not unlock.

I tried flash without wipe the factory image (April Security patch image, removed -W), cleared the Dalvik cache (with TWRP) and cache (with an APP), still same issue.

Boot into safe mode still not working, I could start enroll a new finger, however, the enrollment will fail after last fingerprint touch. A message just said "cannnot finish add new fingerprint".

I can not also delete the two already enrolled fingerprints from the setting menu. After touch the "trash can" icon, the fingerprint just got gray out but comeback if I exit the settings activity.

I don't think the fingerprint sensor HW is at fault since it still response to fingerprint touch (at least in Safemode)...

Anyone has similar experience or a solution? (I haven't tried a full wipe yet...)

I am on stock April security patch. (rooted with Magisk 19, however, went back to stock boot.img doesn't help)

Note: I do not have Swift installed...

I have same problem, see here: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3a/help/fingerprint-hardware-available-t3947280

it's not hardware issue, it's something in data partition that system treat like tampering and disable fingerprint.

Don't try to change Screen Lock, it will break lock completely.

I'm coming from phone without fingerprint so I can live without it if I had to.

If I find some solution I'll let you know.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Pogo:
I gave up and flash ROM and setup everything again. :(
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Paz9:
how about /data/system and those lockscreen and fingerprint .db files ?

what happens if you delete those.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Pogo:
Tried that, after restart home screen showed up but it stuck in 'configuring Pixel...' message. I did uninstall before some apps like pixel setup and maybe if I didn't, it will complete. However, maybe it will just create new account. It might be worth to investigate with stock ROM without modifications except rooting. Anyway I have no access to another phone to test.

Before doing that, I have created another account on the phone and fingerprint was working fine on that account.
