I tried to flash treble oreo rom on ZUK Z2, however I accidently flashed vendor to factory instead of factory to vendor. Because of that, although I can use my phone normally, my computer and TWRP recovery doesn't recognize my phone. So, I can't flash any new rom or copy new file to my phone through computer. Is there any way to restore my phone into its original state? I've searched through my fourms but i wasn't able to get any clear answer. (Sorry for bad english, i'm not an native englsih speaker)

Hey boss., after flashing open beta 12, the phone started hanging now and then. I tried to contact oneplus forums and they asked me to send the log files. Since they took too long to respond, I went to oneplus service centre. They flashed my phone with old oxygen os and the phone didn't start. It went into bootloop
Then I asked them, they said motherboard is corrupted. I left the place and I requested online customer support from oneplus. They too flshed and concluded the same. Can I know whether flashing/sideloading openbeta created this issue? If so, can you provide me support to avail the warranty on the phone? or recover it via any other method or process?
Please respond as soon as possible. My communication with the world has become limited after this issue. I hope there is some sort of support.
Also note that, the phone can boot into fastboot mode, but bootloader is locked. It can boot into recovery. I tried wiping everything, but the phone is not rebooting.
When I start the phone, it stucks in the boot logo and after a while, the screen becomes blank and a white color notification LED is glowing.
Kindly help me.
i had the same issue last week after updating to 13..and i tried to flash the black theme..it went black..i had nothing....it was like it was bricked... here's how after many failed attempt's..i had to clean out all files including backups.wipe data i had to wipe system i had to clean out all previous files.from TWRP recovery.then i had to download the latest software release then put the zip file in my phone storage not in the download file ..then i had to flash stock recovery.then install the new system..and i made the mistake of trying to use some of my app backups like for one estrong file ..all of them were corrupt.so start fresh.
You might try this unbricking method:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-3.452634/
Though your device isn't hard-bricked, this would reset your device to the absolute factory settings (watch out, your data will be erased) on an older OxygenOS version.
I would recommend the 2nd Method, as it restores all partitions to factory settings.
I might also know where your issue came from:
Though you can flash the Open Beta (or any other ZIP from OnePlus) through the Stock Recovery, OnePlus states that you need to be on an unlocked bootloader for not bricking your device.

Is there a way to bring them back?

You might try to unlock your bootloader (There are giudes to do this) and flash a OxygenOS package from oneplus.net through the stock recovery, to ensure the firmware is OK (Do a factory reset from recovery!). I don't know if the Unbrick Tool only restores corrupted partitions or all. It might have installed the wrong system over your previously installed firmware if only corrupted partitions are restored. Keep the bootloader unlocked to be on the safe side (After some time you will be able to just ignore the boot message and you have better access to fastboot and recovery)!
Also, GG to OnePlus for (fake) Motherboard corruption!
About warranty:
Warranty should be ok as long as you won't do hardware modifications (I think).
Bootloader unlocking is definitely safe

No, reflash the OxygenOS package of the same Version that is installed by the Unbrick Tool (If you can still get itfrom oneplus.net) and then check if Network does work. Also, check your IMEI.
I think you might have a corrupted EFS partition. That's y you don't have a working network. Check whether your device show a IMEI under about phone.

EFS doesn't have an effect on WiFi.
That's why I think that it is a firmware issue
I think, I have solved it guys. I'll let you know once completely under control
So, Thank you very much for your support. With this little support from you and my previous Foresightedness helped me restore the phone.
So just in case if any one else faces the same or similar problem, this is the process:
STEP0: If there is any partition corrupted, the device don't boot properly. And, The customer care/ sevice centre guys state it as motherboard problem. Donot Panic. Always take TWRP backup whenever you change your ROM. This Backup helps you to restore whenever you're in trouble. In this particular case, ESF backup is required. So, take a complete backup (everything) in TWRP, it saves your ass.. keep the backup in your PC or any safe Storage (the complete TWRP Folder which is in Internal Memory) before flashing any custom ROM.
Step1: Follow method2 in this guide: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/g...plus-3.452634/
Step2: if everything is alright, its done. Otherwise, The device boots up with some missing features and details. At this time, you have to unlock the bootloader. See The forum to know how to do it. Basic searching can give you the method.
If you can transfer the TWRP folder from PC to Phone, it's good. But the phone boots itself because of missing firmware. Even Bluetooth couldn;'t be used.
In my particular case, I couldnot copy from PC to mobile or viceversa. So, you cannot copy back your TWRP folder in this situation.
So, Unlock bootloader. Then reboot to system (without doing anything)
Step3: Reboot to bootloader and flash TWRP 3-0.2 version only. otherwise device will be encrypted.
Step4: download Ressurection Remix ROM version : ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20161113-PUBLIC-ex-oneplus3 or you can experiment with any other custom ROM but only android 6 (*Marshmallow). Also make sure that you have universal adb drivers. install them if not (search in the forums.)
Step5: goto TWRP recovery, in this, goto wipe option. Drag the swipe to wipe button here. (normal wipe).
Step6: Now, in advanced options, select adb sideload option and select the two wipes in the next menu. Start ADB sideload in the TWRP.
Step7: Now, Start the adb sideloading the custom ROM from your PC. You donot Require Gapps for transferring a file. So donot flash Gapps.
Step8: After the sideload is complete, reboot into system. Now you can transfer files between phone and PC. Now, Copy the Complete TWRP folder into the internal memory. A pop-up asks for merging the folders. Allow the merging, even if you have another TWRP backup there. They don't overlap.
Step9: Now, Boot into TWRP and restore completely. The phone boots up properly, this time. Everything works as expected. every mysterious problem is solved. Now you will get update request if you are on previous version of OOS.
Last but not Least: Please do not use any app recovery tools. they may cause issues while following the above steps
Thank to every XDA member, helping us save the time and money we spend at service center.

Yes, boss. The EFS is corrupted. But, thanks to TWRP, it also has the option to backup EFS, modem. SO, I used my old backup from Jan2017 to restore it back.
But, TO place TWRP back in phone, the original OOS3.1.2, even after reflashing didn't support. I thought for a while and flashed the All loved RR (MM) . THen, it gave me the scope to t/f the folder to internal memory.
Now, I restored the EFS , Modem, sytem with data. and hell yea!! the phone is back to life.
Complete Backup, Atleast once for 3 months saves your ass..
I am glad it helped. That's the power of Xda.
My OP3 is stuck on the boot animation only while booting up Oxygen OS. At first I thought it was bricked but as I proceeded I found out that it isn't and i'm able to boot other OS on it. I've had Resurrection Remix which I had no problems flashing whatsoever. But I'm having this problem with Oxygen OS. Has anyone experienced this? What do I do? Please help.
i bricked my moto z play. i somehow after many days got twrp on the phone. since the phone is encrypted i had many issues. anyway got it installed. my system as far as i could tell did not exist. i put sept.zip on a flash drive and connected it and it was there under usb otg. so i installed it. the fie appears to be on the system. (i saw it in the files twrp has). but i cannot get it to work. i reboot it. and back to twrp. PLEASE HELP!!!!
I think you need to flash the official software through fastboot and get back to stock Nougat somehow. Try booting into fastboot iff you can do that its not bricked. Bricked means when the phone is off and doesnt respongd or switch on at all.
Iff. you can get into fastboot you can reinstall the official nougat software and there are guides somewhere on this forum how to do that.
You have twrp, download and install the rom from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/development/rom-nov-patch-npns26-118-22-2-8-t3717037
You'll lose everything on your phone, but if it's not booting now anyway....

Usually it is not necessary to lose anything.
First: use twrp to do backup of data. Don't forget data/media which is not included, there are your photos.
Second: flash the ROM you want, but omit the command "erase userdata". Then your data should (!) survive.
Hi!
I have a problem with my new Sony Xperia XA2. When I got my new phone I decided to flash LineageOS 16.0 (the unofficial build from LuK1337), however the Lineage-build is not the problem. I got the problem when I tried to flash TWRP and Magisk, and I've realised that I did it too quick.
Here's what I did:
0. Unlocked bootloader
1. Booted TWRP
2. Flashed LineageOS
3. Flashed GAPPS.
4. Flashed Magisk.
So far, so good. This worked.
5. Decided to flash TWRP to get rid of the standard recovery.
6. Now both the standard recovery and TWRP seems to be gone.
Is there a way to revert to the standard recovery? I've tried to download FlashTool and XperiFirm, and I've downloaded the correct stock image for my Xperia XA2 Dual (H4113), but I cannot get it to only flash the bootloader.
My understanding is that the recovery and bootloader resides on the same partition. Is this correct?
When I try to flash the bootloader with FlashTool, I get an error stating that the device is identifying as H3113, which is the single-sim-version.
Thank you for the help!
I managed to get my phone working again by using Emma, as I had managed to soft-brick my phone. The bootloader said that the phone was corrupt, and turned off after 5 seconds. Using Emma and the bundled USB-C-USB-A-cable did the trick for me.
Now I'm going to install TWRP once more, and hopefully I'll manage it correctly this time.
My understanding is that we cannot install TWRP as a replacement recovery on this device because there is no true recovery partition. It's part of the boot partition. Hopefully someone will come along and correct me if I'm wrong.
You can install twrp on a/b devices. However, it installs to /boot. Thus every upgrade kills it. Which really sucks as lineage recovery sucks bad.

Hello,
sorry for the delay.
You can use EMMA to flash back the stock firmware, however if you don't want your data lost, use flashtool ( http://flashtool.net ) and make sure your userdata is Wipe Excluded

There's really no trick to it. Just plug the cable bundled with the phone and plug it into your PC.
My problem was that I've got a Macbook Pro that only have USB-C ports. When I tried a cable with USB-C connectors in both ends, my phone would not let me flash from my computer. When I used the bundled cable and a USB-hub it worked as it should
Hi,
My previous post relates to this one. Due to that problem I got, I had to factory reset my device to get my camera working again. However, instead, my phone rebooted into TWRP and would not boot system normally. When I tried to go to factory mode via fastboot I ended up in endless bootloop. Back in TWRP I tried to restore my backed up ROM from before rooting, but nothing really changed. I am really desperate because I have not find any solutions for my model and I don't want to use other montana models stock ROMs as I suspect them not to be compatible. What shall I do?
Cheers

Sorry this is the stock rom of montana_retcn, to install the playstore by the store that comes in it, and it has the English language.
The rom that you were supposed to be a shop rom of the store that you bought, mine came with one of this but unfortunately I do not know where it has to download ...

Turn off the device, boot into Fastboot Flash Mode using vol down + power, using volume keys scroll and select factory mode and device will turn on. the next time you boot up the device, it won't go into TWRP directly. I have faced this issue many times. Hope this helps.

Not in this case. What Factory Mode did was that it got stuck in loading loop playing the Moto logo endlessly for over 5 minutes. Anyway, the phone is now hard bricked so I am facing even larger issue )

I'm having the same problem with my wifes g5s.
I have found that from twrp>restart>bootloader (phone then enters bootloader) I can the immediately choose "start" to boot the phone.
But that is a hassle I'd prefer my wife not having to go through...

Flash stock ROM via fastboot problem will be solved..
As far as people who need play store can flash gapps via TWRP as a same method we use for custom ROMs.
P.S. i will not suggest to buy XT1799-2 because this SKU is purely made for Chinese Market, if you need any custom ROM go to Weibo.com/diyroms and post a request to build a custom ROM for this device.
And there are some custom ROMs available that you can search via baidu.com ( Chinese Search Engine).
I will try to find any ROM and post for you guys and also post. Request to build for XT1799-2.
CHEERS
so have you find any global custom rom for this device ?

Hi Everyone,
I would gladly accept any help that is being offered. Thanks in Advance.
So I am not new to flashing my phones but Xiaomi has been one of the most frustrating experiences that I've ever had. So I flashed my phone with the Pixel Experience Rom but I wasn't getting 4G with it and I couldn't recall if I was getting 4G with the original MUI so i decided to flash MUI firmware .
So, Not really sure what I did wrong because i believe I could flash the firmware without any problems but guess not. So it flashed successfully and my phone rebooted into Fastboot and will not load into the phone. So booted into recovery and Red Wolf TWRP is asking for the encryption password which I normally enter and I do it again and behold it's telling me that the password is wrong which is am sure it isn't.
So I am unable to use Red Wolf TWRP to flash anything since i can't mount the storage section because of the encryption and tried flashing the phone with MiFlash but doesn't seem to work. It is telling me that the image and device is a mismatch which I don't believe since I've flashed those ROMS before.
So any helpful advice would be appreciated.
I guess you need to flash stock firmware in fastboot mode. Download fastboot rom from mi website. Power on your phone while pressing volume down keep pressing power button for some seconds to enter fastboot mode. Connect it with your pc and upon connection you will heard plugin sound from pc. Extract downloaded fastboot image and double click on flashall. Wait for process to complete. Your device will auto reboot upon completion

So just format storage, it will be no longer encrypted. Then mount storage in twrp, paste your rom of choice from pc and flash it. Unless im missing something here
A mismatch you say? hmm I have had this before and I managed to flash the rom without issues deleting some lines in a rom package. It's quite simple, just follow this little tutorial: http://en.miui.com/thread-178314-1-1.html
Thanks for the responses. I followed this guide here to resolve the issue.
