Please dont reply harshly or bump me, I just got this account to ask for help here so i dont know all the rules and im not that tech savvy, anyways: So I had the newest oxygen os, then I rooted, installed twrp, unlocked bootloader, flashed Hydrogen Os all successfully. Then it became a hassle and I wanted to unroot and revert to 100% stock. So, I downloaded the stock firmware for Oxygen Os, Then I unrooted through Superuser, then went into recovery, wiped cache/dalvik/data, then flashed stock firmware. HERE'S WHERE THE PROBLEM STARTS, it first went into a bootloop, so I restarted it, then it booted successfully and i set it all up with a pin and fingerprint. Anyways, so once I got in, I wanted to relock the bootloader so i went into the settings, disabled the "oem unlock option", turned off my phone, went into fastboot, then typed "fastboot oem lock" and relocked the bootloader. THE REAL PROBLEM IS HERE: When I turned on my phone again and it booted, an all black screen came up that said "To start android please enter your password" so I entered the pin I set earlier, and it was wrong. No matter what i entered it said I was wrong. So, I shut off my phone and tried to go into recovery, and instead the OnePlus logo flashed then the phone turned off. So I went into fastboot and tried to wipe the data but it said partition erase is not allowed, then I tried to flash the stock and twrp and both times it said it failed too saying partition flashing is not allowed. So 1. I can't flash anything or wipe anything because its not allowed. 2. I cant get into android because it says my password is wrong. 3. I cant get into recovery because the Oneplus logo just flashes then phone turns off. PLEASE HELP ME THIS IS THE ONLY PHONE I HAVE!!!!

Several people have had success reviving their OP3. Also, there is an option to contact OnePlus support and have a remote session with their tech support. They will send you an email with files to download and will walk you thru what you need to do for them to unbrick your device.

Try reflashing stock firmware with fastboot.

Update: I followed the Mega Unbrick Guide for a hard bricked Oneplus 3, and now instead of even starting android, this appears, and I cant get into recovery or flash anything because it isnt allowed....please help me
I think your error was to relock the bootloader because if it was still unlocked, you could still reflash the boot.img (but your relocked your bootloader)
Solving it.
Don't worry I shall help you.
This happened to me too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3405700
To get the drivers and adb along with twrp and root use this toolkit.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/toolkit-oneplus-3-toolkit-unlock-t3398799
Get the Oneplus drivers through this too.
It's not very complicated but ask me for any help.
Use the Method 2 in the Mega UnBrick Guide and download the stock image on to it.
You will lose data all of it.!
Make it boot.
Then tick OEM unlocking
Unlock bootloader through the toolkit.
flash twrp and root done..!!.
You messed up when you ticked off OEM unlocking and fastbooting it.
Hi,
I either hard-bricked or soft-bricked my phone. It does not turn on, led indicator shows nothing. (It does not even load into bootloader). But when I connect it to my PC it shows up in device manager and let's me access phone's internal storage. So I'm wondering if it's a hard-brick and i'm screwed or do I still have any chances of recovering it?
What happened:
Firstly I was trying to go back to stock with a ruu from ruu.lalleman.net. I've checked my CID and got the correct one.
Then I relocked my phone, after that when I booted into bootloader it showed "RELOCKED" "SECURITY WARNING", but from now my phone wasn't able to boot normally, it booted straight into fastboot.
Now I tried loading the RUU on my sd card as explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...lp-thread-htc-one-m8s-to-stock-howto-t3190238 But all I've got was an error saying "device halted due to Large Image update fail !"
I figured out that I couldn't install the original RUU because I had the update to MM.
At this point I was fiddling with my phone for a long time so I thought that it needed charging so I tried to boot into recovery just to charge it. It didn't work it booted straight back to fastboot.
Then I tried unlocking my relocked phone via htcdev just to flash any recovery to charge my phone. (this was probably the stupidest decision out of desperation ) After the last step of unlocking, when it asked me if I want to unlock the bootloader I selected "yes" and the phone just vibrated and went black.
If someone has any ideas on how to recover my phone, please help, I'm desperate. :crying:
nevermind, after trying for a while I somehow managed to do "adb reboot".
Guys, I have a bricked bootloader locked phone that only goes to fastboot. I've already tried test point method. It recognized on PC but when I flash miui10 it takes like 222 seconds and it shows me an error saying "time out" error. It was almost done flashing! Is there how to save this device? I've also tried older miui versions and same thing. When I think it's getting there... Error! I need some help
Use xiaomitool.

I've already tried too. There's no way to activate USB debugging. The phone only goes to fastboot.
Update: I got to flash with a beta version of XiaoMiFlash and it took 1200 seconds and it succeeded, but it did boot. Same thing

try testpoint method or xiaomitool method in a different PC/ Laptop, with full driver. Best is Win 7.
Good luck.
It took some doing

I tryed everything and had no success. Bootlooder locked after doing a factory data reset, and find device error when trying to boot.
In the end, I downloaded the very latest version of Mi Flash Pro miflash_pro-en-3.3.1212.88, one slightly older didn't work. I wrote the global ROM in recovery mode. It got stuck at 4.99% when I gave up watching it and after it rebooted it didn't work. I then did it again and it went through, much to my surprise. I then did a wipe date and for once, that also worked. Rebooted phone, set country and this time the phone was back Happy Days
use edl mode
Do this: fastboot boot 'last_boot_used_system.img'
Only do BOOT of lasted used boot.img in your phone!
Long story short, I ended up with a classic bootloop (shows boot animation continuously) from messing around with Magisk modules, so I did a wipe from recovery, still bootloop, so I tried reverting completely to stock with the OEM downloads. I tried flash_all_except_storage.bat, and flash_all.bat, but this time it was a different bootloop. The phone shows the Android One logo, the screen flickers like it's going to the boot animation, but then it just goes back to the Unlocked Bootloader Warning Screen, then the Android One logo, and loops like that. I dumbly thought locking the bootloader, reflashing everything, and starting over like it were a new phone would fix the issue, so I did flash_all_lock.bat, but now I'm just stuck with this weird bootloop and a locked bootloader. Trying to unlock the bootloader with fastboot just gives me "oem unlock is not allowed", so I'm at a loss here.
Does anyone know of anything else I could do, or is this a hard brick?
With a locked bootloader EDL flash probably is your last chance.
Maybe this thread helps:

I got stuck with a similar problem and that was the only option, to boot into EDL mode you will need to partially dissasemble your device and flash the image via fastboot or via MiFlash (download the latest version as I had problems with an older one). Since that incident I kept the bootloader unlocked just in case something happens.
I had the phone booted into EDL mode and attempted to flash the stock ROM (10.0.3.0) with MiFlash, but it errored out with an ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_TYPE. I tried with the previous version, 10.0.2.0 and it worked for some reason. That fixed it though, so thanks! I've been lightly tinkering with rooting android phones a few years now, but until encountering this issue, I'd never heard of EDL mode. You learn something new every day? ?
I have the same issue with my nephew 's mi a2 lite which has the bootloader locked.
It only shows the android one logo.
I cannot go to recovery mode, but I can go in fastboot.
Changing from "a" to "b" doesn't solve anything and being the bootloader locked is not possible to flash anything from fastboot.
So I've opened the device and I've short circuited the edl pinpoint to be able to flash with MiTool (I've used an old version since more recent ones gave errors when flashing).
I was able to flash both the latest official ROM and the oldest one which I've found ( daisy_global_images_V11.0.14.0.QDLMIXM_10.0 and daisy_global_images_V9.6.4.0.ODLMIFF_8.1 respectively).
In both cases the device still is "frozen" with the android one logo when I've tried to turn it on after the flashing procedures gave me a successful status.
What else can I do?
My phone isn't rooted, I ran the update from Xiaomi from the settings menu and after a bit of time my phone was stuck on the splash screen for miui. I tried rebooting multiple times but I couldn't get my phone to boot up.
Did some searching over the web and tried to recover my phone using the MIFLASH tool, which showed my phone but would say its locked. I tried the unlock tool and the phone still wouldn't unlock due to asking for auth.
The last thing I tried was the EDL method, when I plug my phone into my PC it's listed in the device manager as Android BootLoader and not a com port.
I did install the drivers from MIFlash, there were no error messages, but I did see some Chinese text listed.
Is there anything I can do or have I been going about it wrong?
Did you managed to fix your phone my friend?

.... you have to unlock your bootloader first.
