Did i manage to brick my phone? - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

So i flashed beta 8, then flashed superSU but for some reason it didnt detect my sim card. I then tried to flash oos 3.2.7,wiping everything but now its stuck at "formating cache using make_ext4fs" or something like that (my TWRP is not in english). It doesnt react to anything,turning off with the power button or anything like that.
Also the screen doesnt react. Is there any way for me to even turn it off?

You can force shut off the phone by holding the power button for around 10 seconds or so! If you're able to get into TWRP, you could do a standard wipe and then flash the latest stable OOS, and work from there. If you can't even get into TWRP, then refer to Mega Unbrick Guide. That's the be-all-end all solution though, so if anyone's got any better ideas fire away.

After shutting off, can you get into the bootloader by holding volume up and power? If so, could try reflashing your recovery. Also idk if beta 8 is the same as cm14.1 but I had to get a community build of twrp because official twrp broke after installing it. I don't have a link, will search, or maybe one of the nice folks here will get a link up for you before I manage to

[Q] Gnex wont boot. Cant flash from fastboot (too many links error)

CDMA GALAXY NEXUS> Hey guys, I was running Romanbb's 4.0.4 build earlier today. I clicked on a video (which may or may not have been on a porn site) all of a sudden my screen went all wacky. Where it was kind of fuzzy and running diagnal across the screen. I could only see part of it. I thought I might have gotten a virus or something because i have never had one of my devices do this before. So I immideatly rebooted the phone into recovery and wiped eveything including formatting system. I went to flash a nandroid I had of black ice and in the middle of flashing that my phone rebooted itself and stayed there (bootlooping at the google logo) I can get into fastboot and I can get into recovery about one out of every ten times but I cant do anything in recovery because the phone turns itself off insted of booting recovery most of the time (I have clockwork touch) When I do get into recovery without it turning off it reboots if I try to flash anything. It seems to be stable in fastboot (thank god!) but When I get it connected in Wugs Root tool kit and try to flash the stock image it goes through the motions and says FAILED on every step exept the first (which I believe is checking radio). It says ( error too many links) on the first two) and I cant remember the error on the last four but I have tried it a couple times so I can replicate it if needed. Can anyone tell me what to do from here? I really appreciate in advance!!! If this is a hardware error then I would like to get it back to stock to get it replaced. It is weird that it happened while running a rom. Its not like I messed up while flashing or anything.
ADB will recognize it in Fastboot. I already set all of that up when I rooted. when I try to flash the stock+unroot option on wugfresh's toolbox it errors out on every step like there is something wrong with my internal sd on my phone? Im wondering if I should try odin. IDK? Im hoping somebody who has seen this or had this happen before will save the day and tell me what to do.
lol why did you rush into CWM and start wiping things? you should have let it reboot and it probably could have been a one off..
you can try this http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14145-od...actory-odin-restore-402-with-radios-unrooted/
It is stable in fastboot but in cwr it is still geeking out
It still is glitching in cwr. most of the time it either turns off or reboots when I try to go into cwr. i can wipe but if I flash anything it freezes at the point where it starts writing to storage. I have never seen anything like this before.
I have now tried oden as well
It looks like it is a problem with the hardware. The phone is only a couple months old if that. So I really wish I could flash the stock image or at least get rid of cwm. but that is not looking likely. Here are a couple pics of odin showing the problem. Any guidace would be much appreciated. This SUCKS
Why in the heck are you trying to use Odin?
I can only get into fastboot and odin.
CWM wont let me do anything. it crashes and reboots into a bootloop if I try to flash anything. The poster above suggested odin. I dont know what else to do. Please help if you can!
Can you get a screencap of when it fails fastbooting the stock images?
yes
yes, give me couple min and I will post it. Thank you!
I guess I cant. This is all I get now

How are you attempting to access fastboot?
Vol + and Vol - and power all at the same time
Vol + and Vol - and power all at the same time from powered off
And oden was Vol - and power at the same time from powered off
Now no matter what I push it goes to the screen with the yellow triangle.
That screen says you (now) have a corrupt partition.
At this point, you must use Odin, which is unfortunate. What URL did you use to download the image? The current image in that thread was on multiupload.

during my rooting attempt I had a problem with the two vol buttons. It was quite frustrating. Keep trying them and try pressing the power button a fraction of a second sooner.
I downloaded the one later in the thread

there were a couple other posts right around the same time with it but they all were the same file name
I thought I saw the same files in the xda thread i found also
I used that thread because it is the one that the second post linked for me.

I pm'd you to ask how you could fix it. Just wondering if I could do it. I can follow instructions well. I have never had a problem and have been flashing stuff for a year or so. IDK what happened here.
I can't help but I wanted to share that I had a similar experience. I was bonne stock and clicked on a you tube video and my phone immediately shut down and tried to reboot itself, but only would boot loop. I had to manually reformat my partitions to recover. Sounds like your case might be even worse. Still don't know what my problem was.

Thanks. Any feedback is appreciated.
so you can't get into bootloader or odin screen any more? if so try using a Jig it works to get the phone into odin mode for me. i used the same usb jig i made for the captivate.
I got the same suggestion from someone else. I have to wait until radio shack opens in the morning and I will give it a shot. Otherwise, I went by verizon and they are having samsung send me a replacment. I would much rather keep this one if I can though
I tried flashing the stock image from fastboot and it failed though when I could get there, and I also tried flashing the stock image through oden when I could get there and both failed multiple times so I don't have much hope. I think something broke.
I am headed to radio shack now. Be back soon with a answer as to wheather I can save my baby or not.

[Q] Hardbricked? do not reboot HELP!!!

hi everybody,
I'm usually more active on auto forums but I need your help.
wanting to install a custom rom, I'm a but lost in the manipulations. Last night when I wanted to turn on the tab (only with the power button), I had the google logo that was displayed at the top right and the small rectangle of recovery menu (start, recovery, reboot bootloader and poweroff). With buttons I could choose one of four functions. I had access to the recovery menu, when I choosen restart bootloader, it well reboot and poweroff worked well too. By when I clicked start I had a small line at the top left telling me "boot failed"
I try to flash everything thanks to a tutorial.
So I'm DL the original elements but still the same issue. Having struggled until 3am I give up. This morning when I tried to turn on the tab, I did even more than what I have explained below whatsoever with the power button or volume down + power nothing happens the screen stays black.
Any Ideas?
PS sorry for the language I'm french
If you bought it from a local store or if a local store carries it, I'd recommend just retuning for a new one. Haven't seen anyone having your problem. If it won't even turn on, then any store should exchange it, or return it, with no questions ask once they see how your tablet is behaving!!

I'm seriously thinking of this solution but I'm afraid before they give me a new one they send it to their after sales service. If they find out I have rooted it and unlock the bootloader they will make nothing for me
Have you tried returning it to stock to see if it'll boot then? It could just be a bad flash.

I tried every thing.I downloaded nakasig-jwr66v-factory-aebc7b11 and I flash everything but nothing happens. Yesterday evening I was able to boot it (even if it was a bad bood I had only access to recovery mode), but from this morning I tried everything but nothing happens. Even if I plug it to my PC impossible to boot it. The PC do not recognize it (I checked in ADB mode and fastboot mode but the PC do not recognize it)
Good English friend. Can you boot into TWRP? If yes, install any custom ROM after a thorough wipe in recovery. Good luck!

Thank you .
No it doesn't works. For the time being my first to issue is to succeed to boot it at least as yesterday evening.
So if I'm understanding you correctly the Nexus 7 won't even turn on at all now, right? Try holding the power button down for at least 30 seconds and see if it will turn on.
Also, the Nakasig image is for the 2012 version of the Nexus 7 and won't work with the new one. The new 2013 version is named Flo but Google hasn't released the factory images for it yet. However, if you can get the device to power on and back into bootloader mode you should be ok as there are a few unofficial versions of the Flo image on the forum.
One last thing, to quickly boot into bootloader mode hold the Volume Down button while pressing the power button. But try just the power button for at least 30 seconds first to see if you can get it to turn on at all.

+1 Try plugging it in for awhile too. You want to get to the bootloader - the screen with the Android where you go through the options with the volume buttons. Once there,you can use fastboot to flash TWRP and fix from there. Again, stay away from the OLD Nexus files.

I tried to keep on the power button during 1 min with and without charger and pluged to PC : nothing happens. I tried the same thing with volume down + power and nothing happens either
I'm not sure what might help next. Perhaps someone with more experience will come along with advice. If it were me I would probably return it and tell them the power button stopped working.

So you flashed everything from the file nakasig-jwr66v-factory-aebc7b11.tgz? It's for the 1st gen Nexus 7 Mobile version. It would also flash the bootloader and radio. I am guessing that flashing the wrong bootloader might have bricked your device. Someone please correct me if i am wrong.

the old nexus 7 or the new 2013 model with a camera on the back? is yours wifi only or 3g capable?
The only thing i can think of is to plug into your pc's usb port and hold the power button for 30sec.
Then unplug from PC and press power button for about 15sec and you should see the google logo - if not, i think your bootloader is bricked from flashing the wrong one.
If you do see the google logo, keep holding power and also press vol down as soon as you see the logo - should get you into the bootloader.
Messing up the bootloader is the only way you can brick a nexus, feel sorry for ya man
noob question: so you are using a Nexus 7 (2013) and you flashed an old-nexus-7 ROM on your device? If you're using the new one, here is the ROM for the new one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44054613.
I have just had the same problem. Flash the old nexus 7 kernel on the new one, luckily I fixed it
There is a different forum for the 2012 Nexus 7 here. This forum is for the 2013 version.

Nasty Bootloop after Flash on Sprint G2

Last night I installed geefree on my phone from the app store and used it to install TWRP. I downloaded a nightly CM11 and an appropriate gapps. Using geefree I rebooted to recovery (never figured out the button combination to boot to recovery "naturally") and installed both of the zips. This could be where I made my mistake, I installed both at the same time.
Now my phone loops, displaying the LG logo for a few seconds, then shutting off and rebooting before repeating the process. I can't seem to get it to go into download mode or the recovery menu. I've tried power+up, power+down, down+up and each of those while plugging the device in, etc. I can get the device to a hardware key control mode, though it doesn't seem too useful.
How can I save my phone? This forum has been a great resource in the past and I'm very grateful for the many tutorials I've followed rooting other devices. Hopefully you guys can save the day once again!
Volume up plus power is how to access recovery on sprint.
What stock sw version were you on before you flashed cm?
Did you wipe data before flashing?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I was using stock 4.2.2, I believe. I didn't wipe the data (shame on me), a bad habit that I picked up from my first rooted device, the Samsung Moment. It didn't ever matter on that one, afaik. Thanks for the reply!
Edit: Volume up and power whether plugged in or not takes me to the hardware key control mode screen.
Second Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476&page=35 I also found this thread where someone seems to be experiencing similar issues and they fix it with "LG Utility." Is that a PC application? It's a little vague to google, but I've been trying!
I have a bootloop issue every time i flash a rom i have to wipe all but sd flash roms and gapps the i do a restore from twrp and oly restore my boot image only and they boot no prob
I'm kind of starting to suspect my power button doesn't work at all for whatever reason. I have a lot of difficulty getting the phone to shut down, then it doesn't seem to easily power up. It's a strange collection of problems. Would a Sprint repair place be able to fix this?
If they have parts on hand if not either a swap out or a sendoff
Same problem here - bootloop and no download mode - CWM works! - urgently need help
I guess I have the same problem as InlineFourPower (apart from that my power-button has no problem).
I am stuck in bootloop since I tried to upgrade to Kitkat a few days ago. Now I can´t get into download mode any more, nor into fastboot or anything else. Only CWM works.
From within CWM I can successfully flash ROMs but that doesn´t help, since afterwards I am still stuck in bootloop. It is possible, however, to push files via adb-commands while I am in CWM.
Does anybody have an idea how to go from here or how to get download-mode back?
Device is recognized but can´t be mounted - bricked forever?

I tried a few things on Linux.
After terminal-command "ls /dev/sd*" when the device is unplugged from the computer I get "/dev/sda".
When the device is connected via USB, I get: "/dev/sda /dev/sdb"
So sdb is my LG G2.
So I went on to the next command: "gdisk -l /dev/sdb"
As a result I get: "Problem opening /dev/sdb for reading! Error is 123."
Does it mean that the phone isn´t mounted or what? Now I´ve connected my phone to another Linux machine with the same result. It is recognised (p.e. as sdd), but there is no sdd1. Seems as if it is recognized, but can´t be mounted. Does that mean my device is bricked for good? That´s it?
to get the phone into download mode you have to plug the usb cord in and hold VOL+, so to get this right as I have a case on mine, plug the usb into the phone first then hold VOL+ and plug into usb port on the computer.
it does take a loooong time to power down the phone with the button when stuck in a boot loop, just keep holding it until it shuts off, it will shut off eventually!!
plug the phone in while in download mode to install drivers and set com ports, then unplug before you begin your flash with LGFlashTool, hope this helps you out.

Thanks Cronic2009 for your advice.
There are, however, szenarios where download-mode is not accessible any more. Neither by using the hardware-keys, nor by using the adb-command.
After four days of resarch and a lot of trial and error, I finally unbricked my F320L using the two adb-commands outlined at the beginning of that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
Worked like a charm.
Thanks everyone for your advice.
no problem buddy, glad you got it figured out, good luck to you from here on out!
FYI, that link doesn't work
I just wanted to ask anyone who might know, since the bootloader of the LS980 is locked, we cannot "break" this correct, so no matter what commands we decide to run through root, we cant touch the true bootloader there for LS980 fail safe? (Besides Acts of God, EMP, ect)

Thanks for letting me know. I corrected the link in my previous post.
Be sure if you use a aosp based rom to flash the ZV8 modem. Your can use dr87 or furnance kernals after you flash the zva modem althought i have encountered soft brick due to this.

I have been using TWRP 2.7.0.0 to do all my work, and I was able to get the Lego ROM installed with ZVA. I got into too big of a hurry and forgot to make a backup of stock. I've also been unsuccessful in trying to install ZVC modem and firmware. Thankfully ZVA works as does the LEGO ROM, but I'd like to have stock there to access as well. The stockZVC that's on the Android Development page has been getting stuck (bootloop?) on the Sprint Spark logo. I've done TWRP's factory reset with no success. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance!
Yes sir I've tried that and more to no avail is there anything I can do through adb I'm on stock recovery phone doesn't stay on long enough to install anything

[SOLVED] Did I Brick?

Alright guys and girls - I need your help. I had a weird issue come up yesterday, and I'm trying to figure out how to go forward. My phone ran low on battery and died, so I plugged it in to charge like normal. Today, I tried to boot, but can't. I can boot into recovery ok, but that's it. If I boot to download mode, it only gives me a few seconds before the screen goes black. If I try to connect to the PC to flash through Odin, it doesn't recognize as a USB device. However, if I boot to recovery and mount the phone as a usb device, it recognizes and I can get into the external sd card no problem. Also, if I try to just boot normally into system, it boots to the Samsung boot screen and then goes black.
My question is - did I some how brick, or is something else going on? I'd hate to go through all the steps of unbricking if that isn't what I'm dealing with. Thanks in advance.

I didn't try a new rom, but I did try a backup that I know works. Let me give it a shot with a re-flash of the rom I have. I'd like to see if I could find a zip that will flash a full stock Tmo rom, but from what I am reading, it doesn't flash all the bits and pieces like Odin.
EDIT: No go - tried a rom re-flash (wiped clean), but still won't boot to system or download mode.

Try doing the unbrick method. That might work if nothing else works.
Im not 100 percent sure because im not an expert by anymeans but it could be a motherboard but my guess is just as hood as anyone elses

You are not hard bricked, so debricking won't help.
First thing, remove and put your battery back in. Does it try to boot on its own? If so it's a faulty power switch.

Yeah, tried debricking, but no go. Yes, if I pull the battery & reinstall it, the phone tries to re-boot, but it only gets to the Samsung logo, then goes black. Still think it's a faulty power switch? If so, any idea where I can get one new, or just cannibalize an Ebay phone?
EDIT: I found a Youtube about someone that had something that sounded similar. One of the comments recommended "flicking the power button with your finger about 10 or so times & it should turn on". Tried it, and yep, turned on. Guess after all this it's the power button. Thanks, Doc!

Bricked!

I have a unlocked bootloader EVR-AL00 that has been bricked for awhile now. TWRP is stuck on load screen on erecovery and recovery. I have tried everything to get it to work. I can get to the bootloader screen and flash from Hstool, Funkyhuawei, ADB and Hisuite but it always goes back to the TWRP load screen and stays there. TWRP crashed on me back then and now it seems EMUI is gone forever. Any new tricks out there that might work? Please help if you can! Thank you!
can flash stock recovery via adb?
Which Firmware version is on it?

910120. I've tried that. It seems to flash without errors then boots to the TWRP load screen and freezes...

After flash Stock Recovery can boot into Erecovery?
Power off wait for 10 seconds
Press and hold Volume up and put in the usb cable.
Hold Volume up until you start the Erecovery

That doesn't work either
There is only one wat I came back from the TWRP cycle of death.
I followed the steps for the side load in the OP of this thread. The bottom of the first post.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-x/how-to/fw-emui-9-1-0-123-evr-al00-t3935995
The update is listed and can be renamed (I used the 123 update_full_base.zip)
The nocheck.img was a challenge, but I found one in a TWRP backup I had done and save off. Doing a search of XDA later I see that there is also versions in the Mate 20 pro and Mate 10 forums.
Now I have a normal eRecovery, but I cannot obtain root and the recovery StockAL00, magiskAL00 amd newer images changed in bootloader don't seem to make a difference.

Damn, that's worse than I had it. I don't know if there is a way to HStool or modified HiSuite take a ROM update, which would return you to regular eRecovery.
I'm hoping that can work if you can Fastboot from bootloader through those steps or HiSuite recovery.
With my crazy sideload I cannot root, I get prompted for updates constantly (with updates set off) and HStool & HiSuite didn't work. Since I don't have root cannot do ENMUI flasher.

To bad there's not a patch for TWRP...
I know there are some smart people out there that could tell me how to un-brick my phone
@ajsmsg78 is the smartest one I know on here. He has flashed stock, RR, etc... I bought his phone so he doesn't have one anymore but maybe he knows how to help you.

I spent some time in pm trying to help him but the phone still won't do what it's supposed to. I think he needs to do a data format but he can't get into twrp to do it and Huawei blocks a lot of adb commands.
