It suppose to be a prototype/lab-only device with only 4GB of RAM ( picture when it still alive from last owner)
Matte-black back make this phone more and more awesome so i decided to buy it & try to unbrick it
but got no luck, the problem is the device is not be reconigzed by my PC - windows 7 64bit- that should be works fine.
tried every driver from this thread, still no luck :https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-3.452634/
when i hold volume + and stick usb cable
only this for a few second, then no device in device manager
once it appear as QHSUSB_BULK, then disappear
last owner said : he is on stock mashmallow oxygen rom, install this rom without any problems :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...device-development/rom-freedomos-1-0-t3409348
but got bootloop when install a nougat-based freedom OS ,( it changed the boot splash )
it will boot a few second then shut down
My current is : only boot a few seconds then shut down,no custom recovery, can enter fastboot but no adb/fastboot with pc, bootloader unlocked.
That's all i can do now, ran out of idea, should it be a hardware issue ? ( ex : bad usb C connectors inside phone itself? )
.
Anyone have ideas ? Please help me, rescue this beautiful phone
Thanks all.

Use the unbrick guide and tool

Considering that is factory/lab experimental device, i don't think you should flash a production build made for 6GB ram version. If you hadn't created a nandroid backup of the ROM your device came with, you are pretty much screwed.
Also, why in the world would you spend money on a experimental device when you know there will be no support whatsoever.

Somebody sooooooooo needs to plasti-dip their OP3!

Does it have any recovery at all? Stock OOS recovery? If so, you could try flashing stock OOS 3.x, which should work if it Freedom OS worked on Marshmallow.

when i tried to manually enter recovery, it end up with reboot, & without fastboot connection, i cannot flash a twrp :crying: ,

Just flash with MSM DownloadTool and if hardware is ok, phone will boot up.

Hmm, if the decision was based on purely aesthetics and looks, i still don't understand why would he attempt to flash the production software on this version. Anyways, i hope a more technically advanced user would be able to help. My knowledge is really limited when it comes to bricked phones.

well my opinion is if it was an experimental model that was released to a very few. then that guy must have been part of the technical crew or software programming crew. so if he messed it up and cant fix it....hmmm i am starting to become worried here

Seem i'm lucky
My friend at local mobilephone store save it!!!
i will take it tomorrow & buy him a beer
He success enter 9008 after a week trying & unbrick it.
Maybe i must make a backup first before get drunk lol

Thanks for choosing my theme.
But to answer your question... no. You must have root.
An alternative would be to look for a home app substitute such as ADW Launcher, Open Home, DX Top, etc. You wouldn't have the black bar and additional effects but it'll give a a slightly different look with some extra options.
Good luck and we'll see you again when your warranty expires.
ooh yea, ur theme is pretty cool, i wont lie its reminds me of the evo. Thing is i got this phone and it still has warrenty on it for atleast another year and since iv never really had a touch screen phone nor a phone with such a screen id rather not crack the screen or mess up the track ball and be screwed, but its pretty temping. i have a T-Mo Dash(S260 / Excaliber) iv hacked. Thanks to Xda
Heres another question for you. I dont think ill brick my phone but if i were to root my phone and someting happens couldnt i just re-flash the orignal firmware and t-mobile would never know it was rooted ?

this is soo F$#%ing annoying. i downgraded my phone installed flash recovery... backed up recovery img but thats all i can do.. " download new img " is greyed out.

Success !
Firmware : 2.1 update 1
Kernel version : [email protected] #1
Mod Version : Cyanogen-5.0.8-DS
WOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!! it really took about 6-10 minutes to root with out having any andriod knowledge and was really 5 steps LOL download 2 files on to sd card(rec img and rom) > install flashrec > flash rec file > reboot into rec mod > wipe phone & install zip from sd... DONE ! lol
ps. i used the the 1 click method simple as hell, instead of making the goldcard ****

LG Lucid 3 vs876 - Potential bootloader unlock method

Hi all, I am new to XDA but have followed it for some time and successfully modified many devices. Last night, I discovered a tutorial to get fastboot enabled on the LG Volt (A Sprint phone). Feeling adventurous, I decided to follow it on the Verizon Lucid 3 (VS876) and I successfully got into fastboot and ran 'fastboot oem unlock' with a successful return message. I also ran 'fastboot oem device-info' and I have posted a picture below with the results, which are looking good!!! If this helps anyone for any potential development, that would be great because I bought this device with high hopes of getting Cyanogenmod but so far development is nonexistent. Here is the article I followed:
androidforums.com/threads/how-to-enable-fastboot-and-unlock-bootloader-no-flashing-needed-working.861226/

I have the LG Lucid 3, think you could help me unlock it? I wish i could get some custom roms for this phone...

I could try to help however I can, for the most part you just have to follow that guide and it will unlock the bootloader. If you haven't rooted already you can root with Kingroot, available from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
You will need to do this before you can start doing any unlocking, although it is sort of pointless to unlock now because there are no ROMs made yet and I am not familiar with this type of coding, but I am going to try to learn.

Does the lg volt have any custom roms? because if the bootloader method really did work, and the lg volt and lg lucid 3 are supposed to be the same phone just differnt carriers, then shouldnt the lg volts roms work for the lg lucid 3 if there are any?

The volt does seem to have custom roms, however they are not necessarily the same phone, they are just set up the same. I noticed the guide for the volt says that you have to delete the partition for Download Mode which causes the phone to panic and go into fastboot, and it just so happens I was lucky and found out the Lucid 3 is set up the same way and I was able to unlock it this way. There would be too many complications, like verizon using a different cell modem than sprint or who knows what else. I'll keep you posted if anything happens. At the moment, it's too complicated for me to go any further without a whole lot of learning, so hope exists for Lucid 3 owners, maybe
More great news guys! The LG Volt's recovery (TWRP 2.8.1.0) boots and operates on this phone! I flashed it using fastboot and it is working with touch and I am also able to browse my files in TWRP, which leads me to believe these phones are nearly identical. I am in the process of taking photos of this in action if anyone cares to see them I will be happy to show them.
Lastly, I tried flashing a rom from the volt and got stuck at the boot logo for cyanogenmod. So close! Thankfully I made a full backup in twrp which restored perfectly but this proves the phone can be flashed successfully!
Well, I have decided to jump ship to the LG G2 for my modding needs but I hope someone finds a use for my tinkering, thanks for reading everyone!!!

@justinwk91
Dude, thats dope nice find right there. I flashed the 2.8.1.0 twrp volt r2 recovery via flashify and it works like a charm. Thanks !
Sorry to bring up a dead thread. I can second that the bootloader unlock works and the volt 2 TWRP works as well.
Is there any known CM11 or any version of CyanogenMod for this phone? I only found a few "fake/shady" links.

One plus 5t root issue on new phone that son has buggered up!

Hello, my 17 year old got the new one plus 5t yesterday,
He rooted the phone but then realised he couldn’t use certain apps with it rooted, so he uninstalled magisk
He rebooted the phone but it only went into custom recovery and wouldn’t load an OS
Because that didn’t work, he tried flashing an OTA update.
Now his phone is stuck on an upside down screen and a fuzzy section on it.
I know ZERO about android phones.
Should I wait for the support to open at one plus? Or is there something I can do to fix this?

tell him to download this (full firmware)
https://otafsg.h2os.com/patch/amazo...xygen_43_OTA_011_all_1804241056_afd261322.zip
Boot to recovery, copy zip to internal storage, swipe to wipe and flash the zip.
p/s if it cannot boot to custom rec then use this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/oneplus-5t-unbricking-tool-confirmation-t3733012
Thanks so much for your reply,
In the end I spoke to one plus and they couldn’t fix it, they said I could exchange it free of charge, so he got a brand new phone yesterday! Thank god. I’m never letting him root it again tho, he only had it 24hours!!!

You should let him experiment again, this time with some more reading here on the forum before though. He can learn a great deal about how different systems are built and the working parts of them.
And mostly since it's really fun, these days its really hard, close to impossible to mess up the phone bad.
Yes - He should be allowed to root it again - He needs practice

I'm also in that opinion. He should be allowed to root again.
I may have an idea why this happened: Instead of an Oneplus 5T Firmware, he may have flashed a Oneplus 5 Firmware..
you mentioned an upside down turned Screen... well, the normal oneplus 5 had their Display assembled upside down and oneplus thought it would Fixing it by turn the Display Output by 180° by Software configuration. Your son should be Aware of that Oneplus 5 and 5T are different devices.
First step is using fastboot adb tool to flash some custom recovery first such as twrp,then download the latest oxygen system from oneplus official website(should be about 1.6gb) flash it inside and reboot. U will get a official system with official recovery set everything up. Then flash the custom recovery again and flash custom kernals such as bluespark or franco. goto the google pay or other root blocked app to set up everything.
Now you can flash the magisk to get root and activate magisk hide immediately right after u reboot. Remenber to tick the apps you need to hide the root for.
Wish u success:good:

Enjoy!
thx for you hard job .then i wil try it
I tried it, but ran into some problems...
At first I flashed xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMix2_V10.4.2.0.PDECNXM_v10-9.zip and then M.A.R.S.XUAV.19.08.28
Everything looked good, no errors. Then reboot. I can enter SIM PIN but after that, Screen goes on and off. Android Setups pop´s up, 1 step forward and 1 back (and I'm still doing nothing), Screen goes on and off and so on....
ps.: tried it with and without SIM Card... Same behavior.

So i have updated the ReadME and Infos about that. MIUI is a really strange Android Fork and i haven't had the Features working that i think are essential for Me and the Project. That's why i drifted the foucs back to AOSP for now again. I wish i had a Teammate who would make a MIUI Version that lacks of the XUA (Xiaomi Universal AOSP) full feature set, that would mean just to much work for Me right now since i'm already working up to 8Hrs per day on the main Patch... So You flashed XUA which is meant for AOSP. I would recommend You to try Lineage OS or Havoc Official. They run both with the full feature set and without bigger Problems right now (Check GitHub Issues for Bugs).
Hope You will enjoy the expierence! More Updates are coming! BR
Sry, my mistake. Didn't read that ^^
I stay with MIUI because I really like it more than these AOSP Roms.
But I wish you success with this Project. Looks really good.
Greetings from Leipzig
First Users on Discord reported it works on Mi 9 and Mix 2 (Various ROMs). We just had a issue with CPU Loads which will be fixed in V.19.08.29. Everything is super fluid and performing well. Audio is awesome compared to stock or normal AOSP... Really proud of it right now.
I will also move from GitHub to Google Drive and My Homepage since GitHub is problematic in many Views. More Threads for other Devices are coming and i hope the Community will grow fast.
@gitsbash No Problem! You're welcome to give it a try at any time!

If You want Help , ask another Way...
Yeah right. That's the easiest thing to do because you can't explain how MARS really helps. You throw around too much jargon on what you have done and how it'ssupposed to work. But you have a hard time explaining why we need a software that takes more memory than our ROM to make it fast. Counter-intuitive. What does it actually do?

Maybe take a look at the script and the zip content? It is always easier to blatantly accuse people. It is clear that you are a troll. If it didnt work for you, then you made a mistake as it works for me and other people.

Mi 9 SE bricked after successful MIUI 11 Update

Hello everybody!
I have a problem with my Xiaomi Mi 9 SE. This is what happened:
Few days ago I updated to MIUI 11. Everything seemed to run smoothly.
2 days ago I noticed a huge battery drain during the day. I finished my day with my battery @ 10/1% with my usual daily use.
Yesterday I was using my phone normally while it was charging (watching a video on Youtube). The phone became unresponsive to everything: the touchscreen was not working, the buttons on the right were not working.
I decided to "hard-reboot" my phone. I pressed the on/off button for a few seconds.
The screen turned off.
From this point on, my phone was completely bricked. It does not turn on in any way possible: I tried also pressing the on/off button + volume up or down but nothing. Nothing happens even connecting it again to the power cord.
I tried connecting my phone to the PC via USB and this is what my PC recognized:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But my phone still remains bricked/with its screen black.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this or at least recover my data in some way?
I suspect some bug related to battery mgmt in the MIUI 11 and I personally do not suggest you to update to it right now.
Thank you very much in advance!
You're on edl mode. I've been there. Unfortunately, Xiaomi doesn't allow us to recover our phones on edl mode, which is a shame. So, there are two options:
1 - Send it to the seller and try a fix/replacement.
2 - Pay someone with edl authorization to unbrick your phone.
If you want, I'll give you the contact of the person who did that for me. But I had unlocked the bootloader and flashed several ROMS. I bricked the phone trying to restore a full backup. Your case is different and, for what you described, you may be experiencing hardware problems, so I would go for option one.

Thank you very much for your reply! I really feel disappointed because I never messed up with my phone. I always used official releases. Since I bought it in Italy and now I'm far away from my country, I would go for option 2. Do you know if it is possible at least to recover my photos? Honestly that's the most important thing for me right now and unfortunately I forgot to enable the backup (my bad!).
We can speak in private if you prefer, send me a message with the details of the person that helped you.
Thanks!

Just to update everyone on the status: my phone is still bricked. I contacted the guy suggested by elpaablo but he just suggests to re-flash my phone while I want to recover my data first. I will leave my phone in the closet for 1/2 weeks and then try again to turn it on because I read on other threads that this worked for other people.
I will update this thread later on. I want to highlight again that I did not do anything weird with my Mi 9 SE: no twrp, no custom rom, no weird flashing, nothing. I just updated successfully my phone to the global stable using the official update menu in the settings.
Use your warranty. Your phone should be replaced. As for your photos, didn't you use some kind of backup, like google photos?

Yeah I already contacted my seller and I'm going to ask for repair/replacement. Unfortunately I was not using a backup solution (my bad!).
