I just had an encounter with this. I was rooting my device (Pixel 3A) and messed up my partitions through accidentally attempting a downgrade which broke all my ****. I was unable to easily reset this device to factory, so it took me several days to figure out and root. I'm getting better though as a hacker, because a year ago this would have taken me a month.

I was able to enter recovery mode (lying down Android, NO COMMAND). From this recovery mode, adb devices -l recognized my device, although I was unable to get a shell.

At first, ADB was telling me the device was authorized, but I messed with a bunch of other stuff (tried to flash a bunch of different partitions and monkey around in general trying to install Magisk) and then ADB started telling me it wasn't authorized when I used devices -l.

Once it said unauthorized, I was unable to issue the device any commands with ADB, so I just used hardware keys to get into recovery mode. From there, I selected OTA update, and it got into sideload mode. At that point, I used adb sideload with the OTA package that I downloaded here https://developers.google.com/android/ota

^^^ That operation did successfully restore my device to factory

This following guide here describes the details of how to use hard keys to enter recovery on this phone (don't download anything from there tho, and make sure your adblock is on)

How to Hard Reset your new Google Pixel 3a [Tutorial]

In this article, you will learn how to start your Google Pixel 3a up into the Recovery Mode and perform the Hard Reset to make it work perfectly again.

[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] LagMaster420:
I just wanted to say, I've been wrestling this hardbrick for a couple of days with my Pixel 3a.

I've finally overcome it by sideloading the most recent OTA update after using a hard key combo to get into recovery mode. The hard key combo is hold Power Button, tap Volume Up, then release both. Then, all you need is to use the command:

adb sideload <OTA.zip>

^^^OTA wasn't the actual filename though, you can download OTA packages for Pixel 3A here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota

the OTA binaries are NOT the same as the factory images, which is here

Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers

developers.google.com

Sideloading the OTA package brought my phone back from only having fastboot and recovery mode, even when flash-all.sh from the official downloaded firmware failed. Now I know how to undo damage that I cause by rooting this thing. Since I sideloaded newest firmware, it was also like applying an update. I easily got root after that, and I've logged the process. I'll make it into a guide soon
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] sic0048:
I'll just note that if you accidentally flashed the TWRP boot image instead of simply booting into it, I believe all you have to do is flash the stock boot.img to fix the problem. Obviously you can sideload the entire rom image, but that shouldn't be necessary.

Using the Windows computer (or whatever computer you are sending ADB commands from), download the full stock image directly from Google. Unzip it and then upzip the folder inside. You should find the boot.img file inside that folder. Take that file and then flash it to the phone using the normal ADB command: fastboot flash boot boot.img

While I haven't tried this myself recently, it should work in theory. The command "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" flashes the boot partition with a non-working twrp image, so replacing the faulty image with the stock boot.img should fix the problem.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] flash713:
If I did the same I would first attempt to manually put device in bootloader/aka fastboot mode then fastboot flash the stock boot.img , sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img --slot all

I only read the op (first post here);but I betcha that would have worked. Then sudo ./flash-all.sh and let it do it's thing.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] badrrrrr:
Hi,

FOr me two missings on this phone were Google Camera which is handled atm and WIreless charging.

To solve the latter, do you think we could find a good cover with integrated Qi wireless charge receiver ?

Or place in the cover (it being a bit thicker but I don't care) to place one ?

Thanks.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] rahulje9:
I have seen similar setup for other devices. There are multiple videos in youtube.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Syphon Filter:
First off, I'd just like to mention that I have searched and gone through all 20 pages of results so before anyone shouts at me because the my question has been asked I did try :)

Secondly: If this is in the wrong place I apologise.

So my question:

Are our devices adversely affected by hard resets? If so are things compounded by repeated hard resets?

The reason I ask is I have been experiencing some odd behaviour with my new Touch Pro and I've hard reset it quite a few times. I dont want to keep going if it's suddenly going to end up bricking my ROM.

Now it's my understanding (from a semi-educated angle) that a hard reset erases a memory area of the device (the ROM, I'm assuming this is some kind of EEPROM) and restores it with information stored in a different area of memory (also EEPROM).

I know that flash memory has limited number of read/write cycles but these days that figure is up in the tens if not hundreds of thousands. But is there anything else that might be cause for concern when carrying out repeated hard resets (which erase and rewrite areas of EEPROM?

Any input much appreciated.

Kind Regards.

Syphon
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kareeem:
Believe it or not, there aren't many affects on the device (negative ones that is). I've flashed my Tilt because of testing ROMs so many times and i'm pretty sure somebody has flashed more than me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Syphon Filter:
Wow ok...you reckon you could just indefinitely keep flashing and hard resetting without issue (assuming you don't hit the upper read/write limits)?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kareeem:
Certainly; if you follow flashing procedures each time, you should be good to go :).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] EFN:
For chefs like me who has been cooking countless versions of rom, I can tell u repeated and deliberate hard resets and re-flashing does not affect the phone itself.

I have lost count how many time I did this with my i780, probably close to 400 times because debugging a rom is a very tedious process, not to mention how many times I semi-bricked the poor thing
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Syphon Filter:
Well this is good to know, any other opinions on the matter would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the input so far guys.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chrismrulz:
ahh always been paranoid about it effecting the write/read limits.

good to know.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Syphon Filter:
Yeah, I didnt think there would be an issue but with these things you never know. I completely understand about read/write cycle limits but as i say in modern devices these are well up in the tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands and I would expect that is true of our WinMo handhelds.

I felt a bit stupid asking, but if you dont ask you will never know right!

In short, oneplus cable + oneplus phone doesnt work, oneplus phone + 3rd party cable can work, other phone and oneplus cable can work. How to resolve this ?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] jaseman:
Could be that the OnePlus cable is paired with the 8T for use with the fast charger only. The fact that the OnePlus cable works for transfers with other phones might be because it recognizes that it is not connected to the 8T. So I guess you should just use whatever other cable you have when transferring files from the 8T to the PC. Silly question but: Are you going into developers options and adjusting the USB configuration for file transfers on the 8T?

Hey it is not written in your flash instructions but you need to reboot to twrp to flash gapps then format data to boot. I just ended up in a twrp boot loop before I did that lol. Boots incredably fast first time. Under 1 minute.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It seems the problem is physical... hopefully.

Closely inspect the ribbon cables and contacts of the front cam for damage or misalignment.

Use magnification as needed.

Make sure any ground points to this module were not overlooked. A longer screw perhaps?

The chassis is aluminum so that is a potential grounding point for mounted components like the front cam.

You did disconnect the battery first, right?

I looked at the tear down vid... I feel your pain.
