OP3 won't turn on - LED & Vibration work though! Need help - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hi there, I come to you with a huge request for help. First of all, I'm not a developer, but I know how to google hehe, so I've done my research before opening a thread, I promise!
This morning, my phone wouldn't turn on. I charged it and did the usual (pressing power button, etc etc) but all I get is a vibration and LED, but the screen is totally black and dead.
I've found this bible but A) I don't have windows B) wow, it looks quite complicated for an ignorant like me (at this topic)
Would you guys know if there's a Macintosh version of the process, so I could at least try?
Unfortunately, I just moved to a new country and have not many friends, let alone DEVELOPERS friends hehe.
Thanks a lot in advance

There seems to be a workaround though it may involve a lot of work. See this: https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/34ku0o/urgent_hard_brick_with_a_mac/

Black 3 for T-mobile UK?

Hey there, can anyone point me to a version of Black 3 for T-mobile UK users?
The forum's "search" feature isn't exactly useful.
thanks, Forlornity
There isnt one, thats probably why the search feature isnt proving "useful"
I guessed as much
I'm an utter n00b with the whole re-flashing process, so can anyone allay my fears that I'm going to end up bricking my device?
Also, is it easy to set it up to work with t-mobile UK anyway, what sort of things would I need to do after installing the new OS ROM?
thanks, Forlornity
just use the normal black, and then apply the t-mobuk.cab (not sure, of its exact spelling) that will setup all the t=mobile settings for you.
what's the likelihood of bricking the device during the install (keeping in mind that this is a bog standard, no special parts, windows XP home laptop)?
oh, and where exactly does this "t-mobuk.cab" reside?
Is it on the forums or does black include it?
Have you read the wiki, and the thread on the rom you plan to install? How about the upgrade guide? If so, then the chance of bricking are low. If not, bricking is a very real possibility. As long as you read and understand it first, you will be happy with the ROM upgrade of your choice.
You really want to the reading the WIKI, everything is that you as a 'Newbie' you will need... including the T-Mobile cab. Read the upgrading sections.
yeah, I'm following the guide on it, but Hard spl takes less than a second to flash, is this correct? shouldn't it take a little longer than that?
thanks, Forlornity

Nope, it's a very fast flash. Afterwards you can put the phone in bootloader to verify it.
oh bugger, summat's up:
it comes up with a message saying "resources.96.dll
starting this program requires a component from an unknown publisher. You should start the program only if you trust the publisher's source do you want to continue?
yes/no"
it won't let me press anything.
What did I do and is it fixable?
Ok, I've had some ideas over the past few minutes as to the problem, and I THINK I've narrowed it down to windows live messenger.
The machine would respond for about two seconds before it crashed, during which time I was able to click on running programs, preventing it from trying to open the today screen (I believe). I've now taken windows live messenger off of the start screen and it's working fine, the resources notification has also disappeared, possibly because I managed to click yes.
Anyone have any previous experience with this sort of thing happening?

TomTom freezes again

Hi to everybody,
My trinity came back repaired (in warranty), so I lost any programme. I reinstalled TomTom6 from www.htc.com, but I have frequent freezings. Can you please send me the atfix.cab (if I'm not wrong) or tell me where to download it? Thanks a lot

hey francic,
some people here are pretty anal about 'searching'. i posted a question and i got some **** as well.
i have TomTom and it freezes up every 10 min, then someone suggests to disable all the POIs. i did that and it seems to fix my freeze problem. so if you enable POIs, try disable them and it should help.
Seek and yee shall find .....

1. Yes what you did was SPAM
2. If you use the search, just write atifix and you will see several threads/posts with that kind of file.
3. If everyone do the way you do, what would you think it happen.
Thousands of open threads with the same questions/requests.
At least before asking why don't you try to find it by yourself??
I know it's hard work!!
Much more easy to just ask and wait!!!
But this is just my opinion!!!

Different oppinion, he's not 100% guilty y'know.
This forum, the whole xda-developers, is a very inefficient information management/sharing tool. To sum it up, information's duplicated, scattered, isn't correctly tagged and we don't even have an efficient (built-in)basic search.
Unless something changes, this'll keep happening.
update: @mikhe69
I think that an external +10 field search form(google advanced search) that will return more than 10 results(at best) isn't acceptable.
"2. If you use the search, just write atifix and you will see several threads/posts with that kind of file."
That's the issue(I'm talking about), not the solution.
But oh well, #care 'bout this.

Well, what I call "freezing" could be actually "slowing down", I'm not sure. I didn't yet any trip in the last days, so I'll check your suggestion on the road. What I observed is a very slowed digitation in writing the target (cities). May it depend on the different location of executive programme (in the pda memory) and of maps (in the external sda)? Or on the exploited internal memory (phone contacts: may I tranfer them to sda?)?

Oh.. Thank you Stylez. I'm aware that I sure as hell should have used the search function to make things easier for the moderators, and I'm sorry that I was unable to overcome my haste. Please understand that I felt this was very urgent because none of my phones (Omnia; Wing; Dash) were picking up the computer's connection, and I didn't think the problem was my computer. I did a complete system restore, so that might have been the culprit. Anyway, things are working perfectly now, and I've finally been able to try the new Windows Live! Thank you guys. I'm glad i can always get good help here.

In BSB6.5P, several problems exist

1, in this version, after i finish doing the settings, i click "X" then dircetly return back to the today screen. However in the original version, for instance the BSB6.5O, i can still return back to the the submenu. I know this is not a bug, but such kind of design is really troublesome. As U know, u have to repeat the same procedures in order to do one setting.
2, The button take no effect if the device is locked, even i choose “ Do not lock the button if the device is power off". I can only use my finger to press the power button in the top to lighten my screen.
3, How could i separately change the system volumn and the ring volumn? A new VGA menu have added instead of the popup, so i can't find the original popup to change the volumn. Pressing the volumn up/down button, i can only change the volumn. The problem is such menu indicate the volumn changes for system, or income ring? Who knows.
I hope anyone can give me the solutions. I just online waiting for your reply~

Hi,
Sorry to be such a noob but what are the advantages of rooting?
And if I was thinking of doing it, why would I?
Sorry again ... I am a newbie
@Raminder1992
Plenty of advantages to root but in order to understand them and the whole process you need to search the forums with reference to other handsets to give you an idea, if we answer your questions it only leads to more new members posting basic questions in what is a development forum that currently is hanging on what happens next with the desire rooting process.
In other words click the search button and take some time to read or you'll just annoy those of us that desperate for progress on this handset.

Simple:
root=administrative rights to the system........ basically the same thing in your computer when you have administrative account...
normal mode is like a normal windows user account where you have possibility to (un)install software but you cannot change the system
So the final piece in the puzzle is about to be delivered. I'm buying it!

there are many, many reasons, but to give a few examples. firstly, those of us not in regions where google allow us to access the paid apps, we can change that by a few parameter settings, we can also change where we're from, if a developer wanted to block out our region, for whatever reason. after that, when you look even further, there are plenty of apps on the market that require root to work properly, there's one that allows you specify what apps launch on startup, there's a firewall that allows you control what connects through your data plan, there's a flashlight that keeps your camera flash on and many, many more. without root, these things don't work properly, because they don't have the right permissions.
for me, the reasons above are good, but not the main reason. for me, where I work, we use a LEAP wireless security system that (I think) all Android devices can connect to, without a problem. unfortunately though, the Android developers haven't added that option to the wireless config GUI. this isn't a problem if I get root, because then I can just edit the config file and change one line. without root, though, I don't have wireless connection during a good part of every day, which sucks.
