Try previous version than 50, might be the 45 as it stable enough, i guess.
And before that, have you charged your phone? Mi recovery wont boot if under 20% battery.

I cant boot my oneplus 3 at all

i installed cm14.1 today from the cyanogenmod website i had everything running fine until i reboot into recovery. i got a black screen and it didnt bot into recovery at all so i held my power button and volume down and nothing happens. i cant even boot up into fast boot or anything. nothing is turning my phone on. when i connect it to my pc nothing happens. is there anything i can do?

There's a mega unbrick guide for the OnePlus 3, use that then install the correct firmware and install the custom TWRP and re flash the ROM

i tried that method but the device doesnt even show up on my pc

Get this sorted yet? You'll need a modified TWRP recovery for the newest CM based builds. I went through the same thing yesterday or the day before. Try holding volume down and power for like 30 seconds until you feel it vibrate that it is rebooting. Then hold volume *UP* while it reboots or if you see the "your device is not safe..." flash screen hurry and press volume down and go into fastboot. From there you can fastboot flash a new recovery.

I had the same problem as well, in device manager go to ports (com & LPT) and it will show up there under qualcum device. Don't forget to go and turn off certificate verification

Thanks guys I'll try this after work. Hopefully it works. If not sure oneplus are hopefully releasing a new phone soon

No it didn't work. I have a feeling I deleted something I shouldn't have because I was clearing out my files before I restarted and that was that.

you gotta use special twrp recovery for cm14.1...
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224394867

Just use the recovery rahditzz provided you with a link, if your phone is stuck on black screen with white led hold your power button until it turns off, then boot to fastboot and flash the recovery and you will boot...

Are you pushing volume up while plugging in cable?

I am. To be honest its very complex too me. I'm new to android and all this is so hard. I follow steps but I'm not 100% sure what I doing. Also my computer isn't great. Do these methods work on vista? Is there a video tutorial or anything? Sorry for annoying you and you don't understand how thankful i am for your help.

Your running vista???? Good god update your OS!!

Maybe your fastboot drivers got updated? There were some reports around this. You could try reinstalling the drivers and following the unbrick guide without an internet connection.

Cool u can boot into Fastboot, what error do you get when you type Fastboot devices? Nothing shows up?

Try volume up+connect phone to PC. If it isn't detected try charging it for 30 minutes and then the same thing. If that doesn't work try a different USB cable and/or different USB port on your PC.

i will try and get back to you .. thank you so much i appreciate your help

That sounds exactly like the situation I had. Your motherboard is probably fried. Get it to your service center. Especially if you have the warranty.

I was in the same situation. For me sometimes I got port 9008 and sometimes USB device not recognized. However every time I got a Sahara Fail. Keep trying to flash the s288 row with different cables/ports. That's all I can think of.

he just said he heated on the memory chips or something like that .. apparently the flashing problem was my win 10 device . because once the phone show 9008 com on flashing software the flash process went ok on his win 7 device

There's another thing that I would like to add. When the flashing fails and phone becomes dead(seems dead), it is not in a powered off state i.e. it actually is in a dormant state in some occasions. That is, it doesn't respond to any actions performed like plugging to pc, plugging charger e.t.c.
For older phones with a removable battery, we could simply remove the battery and turn the phone off completely before trying to flash again.
But since newer phones like our Vibe P1 doesn't have a removable battery, we need to switch the phone off manually.
There is a method for that given in this link.

Hard bricked and Solved.

First things first, NEVER RESTORE A TWRP BACKUP YOU CREATED IN ONE VERSION IN ANOTHER VERSION.
Now coming to my situation, I installed the Deodexed Stable Zui Oreo ROM but as usual got bored with the zui and wanted to go back to my fav Pixel experience Rom so I clean flashed it from the unofficial hendibudi recovery but I couldn't use my internal storage and I once earlier read in another thread that installing 3.0.3 decrypts it so I installed that recovery and clean flashed AEX5.2 Rom this time and same internal storage problem continued so my lazy ass thought I'll restore the TWRP backup I created when I unlocked the bootloader instead of flashing through qfil and that was my mistake.
I created the backup on 3.1.0 but now I was on 3.0.3 so as soon as I restored the backup and rebooted, my phone didn't turn on, no zuk logo or led or anything, if I long press the power button it just vibrates and the led flashes for a sec, that's all.
Edit: feels like this thread belongs to the News/Discussions section than here but meh
Edit2: Solution in Post #4

It seems like qfil, mi flash method is last as your bootloader is also corrupted, and this happens because there are many critical hidden partition on our device so it mess up, when you install first twrp releases, you will notice there are 7 8 partition and in latest one they all are hidden.

well if it's that easy I wouldn't be worried at all but unfortunately my situation is a bit different, I can't flash anything as my phone is recognized as 900E, to flash anything the phone should be recognized in 9008(edl) mode and for that I have to strip the cable and short circuit with it and all that, which is really a hit or miss kinda situation so kinda worried!
But seems like I have no other choice so let's see what happens, I tried stripping the stock usb cable and it got split into half lmao
now I'll buy another cable and will try the copper wire method instead of splitting it
Edit: yeah ik that different versions of TWRP are different but I wanted to restore only the data partition and my data was already encrypted so I thought I have nothing to lose, I was like if it doesn't work I'll flash the full firmware again but didn't expect it to fully brick the phone

Okay the primary reason for me creating this thread was to let y'all know how I bricked my device so that y'all won't repeat my mistake but I saw some people here and there recently asking how to resurrect their device so thought I'll share how I got mine working wishing it'll help such people.
My phone was completely dead, the hardware buttons weren't doing anything, the phone doesn't power off but all I could see was a black screen, so I had to follow THIS GUIDE.
But the above situation is a rarity, I guess most of you ppl could get to the zuk logo or your led keeps flashing and you can use your hardware buttons, in such situations, follow THIS GUIDE.
The above links are for you to get your phone to 9008 mode to be able to flash the stock firmware, but if you don't know how to flash,
refer THIS GUIDE.

Only one solution is there.. after u get sahara error.. disconnect your phone and cable, then again turn your phone on. And then turn it off... After that press volume up+ power button simultaneously while connecting to the usb port, if you are successful, within 2-3 seconds you have to press the download button on QFIL.. then it should work... You can try 2-3 times... For demo, but thia is the only way out of this hard brick
.. i suffered in the sahara error for 3 days since i flashed OOS on my z2 , till today i finally got the solution

Not 2 minutes but i think 30 seconds at max.. and by successful i mean that you get into Qualcomm 9008 qdloader mode in qfil
---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------
The main thing is you have to immediately press the download button(within 2-3 seconds) after reconnecting into 9008 mode

Unfortunately learnt this after unbricking my device

I had installed RR mix rom in my Zuk Z2 plus. while trying to enter fastboot mode, it went off. Now it is completely dead. not being recoganized in my PC.In device manager it is not shown. Tried to deep flash through Qfil, but didn't recoganize port.If i plug in charger also no LED indication, If I disconnect battery & plug in for charging, white LED slowly blinks, in the same mode if I connect charger blinking white LED continues. But once I remove charge & reconnect it shows nothing. again if I remove battery & reconnect, again white LED starts blinking. Apart from this nothing is shown, phone completely dead. Can anybody help please. I tried through Qfil, tried by shorting black & green cable, all types of key combinations.

RN8P Just died after MIUI 12 installation

Well, i'm kinda scared because i already installed a lot of custom rom's and everything works fine every time. Yesterday i installed the MIUI 12 Beta chinese version and after i saw that have one global beta version so i download the global one, installed the pre loader to prevent the bricked device and installed the twrp recovery to install the global rom. I wiped everything as always, installed the rom and reboot the phone... Now he doesnt show nothing, just died, he doesn't stuck at boot loader, if i connect him to the power the charging led turns on, he vibrate if i click at the power button but no image at all, nothing...
I tryed to connect to pc and turn it on at fastboot thinking that the ldc pannel was burned but no, the pc iddentifies a divice and 1 sec after he just unplug itself...
Can someone help me?

Beware some people reported problems using the preloader with Android 10.

SPFT is Mediatek's flashing tool. It is used when their phones hardbrick. You should read about it now.
If the phone vibrates, you most likely have some preloader flashed, the question is which. You should follow the instructions mentioned in iRayn's post above. If you still got the factory preloader, you're in luck, the guide will definitely work.
If you don't have it, you'll likely need to use an authorized account, but first try getting a ubuntu image (you don't need to install it, just run a live version); there's some useful info that can be gathered from lsusb. Particularly if you see 0e8d:0003 in lsusb's output when pressing Vol+, try again with SPFT while pressing Vol+.

I tried countless different ones but always the same result.
