Dear all,
I bricked my phone when i upgrade my pixel 2 xl to android 10 while never enabling the allow oem unlock form the developer mode.
I notice many similar thread but my case is a bit different since i can still acceaa fastboot and recovery, i tried to sideload the recovery ota as per official guide in google website, the process indicate that sideload is successful but my phone still stuck in bootloop.
Since i live in Indonesia, there is no available rma for me. Please help me, is anyone have any idea how to fix this, i've tried almost every tool i find in this forum such deuce script, all in one tool, etc. But still getting bootloop.
I'd like to get something straight...
When you upgraded to 10, did you do it through the stock Android System Updater or did you download an OTA/Full Factory image and flashed it yourself?
Also, you can boot to a twrp recovery and flash as I posted here in this topic. simplepinoi177 responded there also
Hi, i upgrade trough the ota (system updater), and i can not flash twrp as the bootloader is locked. I can not boot any img.
Have you tried factory reset in recovery?

So i have searched all over the internet and havent found ant help. My phone is in a bootloop and i can't get out of it, i have tried with Nexus root tool kit to factory reset but just bootloop have tried it twice. Also tried to install factory with TWRP but still bootloop. I have an unlocked bootloader, I also tried to lock it and start with a new factory image but didnät work either . So please help me if you can i'm willing to try anything can't afford a new phone right now.
BIG UPDATE
So now after some work with trying to fx this i have found the problem with it. It's that my phone dosen't install the files that i install with either adb or TWRP. I found this by putting pure nexus rom on the phone and installing it with TWRP and then remove it from the storage. That was when the storage on the phone said it was still zero even when i had choose to install a new rom on the phone. but it still bootloop with the google logo and the four dots that pulse and then reboots.
Another Update
So i tried with installing the pixel rom from the xda forum and it all went well and all with the insallation no errors what so ever but my boot animation changed to pixels but still continue to bootloop still don't know whats happening.
I'm not sure what state your device is in right now. Is the bootloader locked or unlocked? When you tried to lock it, don't try that again, did it lock or did it remain unlocked when you re-booted into the bootloader? Were you able to successfully flash the factory image?
I'd suggest you carefully read thru this and pay particular attention to how to flash a factory image, http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206930

Whell when i locked the bootloader it got locked but then when it bootlooped for one to two hours i opened it again and went to ask the pros at xda. I also read through the guide you linked me and did as said in the tutorial but my phone is still bootlooping right now.
Did you successfully manually flash each of the image files in the latest factory image? Bootloader, radio, system, boot, etc.

Yes i succesfully flashed everyone that was said in the guide.
So after 2 hours of searching, trying and failing, I just decided to post here and see what help I can get.
Situation is exactly like the title. Had Lineage 14.1 installed, and decided to update the phone. Rebooted the phone and went to TWRP recovery. For whatever reason, I decided to reboot the phone, which ended up in it coming back to TWRP. This repeated until I got the stock recovery, which put me into bootloader instead. Bootloader is now locked, I can no longer get into recovery, and I'm stuck in bootloader for as long as this continues.
So far I have tried:
--------BEFORE TWRP RECOVERY FAILURE AND BOOTLOADER LOCK---------
Factory Resetting
Formatted and flashed ROM
A couple of ADB commands
--------AFTER TWRP RECOVERY FAILURE AND BOOTLOADER LOCK---------
Replaced recovery image file with stock
Idiotically replaced bootloader image file with stock (Locked, can tell since Android N is no longer bugging me with preboot notification which was present before when bootloader was unlocked)
Idiotically replaced the system image file with stock
A slew of fastboot commands (You can comment and I can see if I have attempted them)
Attempted to continue the fastboot process
Attempted to use an automatic rootkit. Did not like my device, so it did nothing at all.
Manually unplugging the battery
Haven't tried:
Placing rom in sd card, like I've seen people say elsewhere. (No SD card available)
Anything else you tell me that I haven't done
I'm not really interested in keeping any files that I've had before, if that is not already made clear.
Anyone that can help me, I really want this to end. :crying: :crying:

Marvelous , drop a thank you to realyoti in the link , hit his thanks button too.:good::highfive:
Hello guys,
my Oneplus 3 is hard bricked, I tried the methods in the Mega Unbrick guide, my device already gets shown as Qualcomm 9008 ... in Device Manager, so I started the MSM DownloadTool and it flashed anything without errors. But when the phone reboots I get a black screen and the white led is on.
I can't even boot to stock recovery (Volume down + power doesn't work and rebooting to recovery through fastboot doesn't work, too....) my bootloader is locked and all attempts to unlock the bootloader are failing with the error "remote: oem unlock is not allowed"
So at the moment I'm stuck in fastboot and nothing else works -.-
Can someone please help me?
The unbrick tool has an old firmware, can I replace the files with files from a newer firmware?
Thanks!
Have you tried the exact steps from Method 2? Maybe unzip it? If that doesn't work which is highly unlikely then there is not much you can do.

Yeah I tried it as I said, the MSM DownloadTool showed me Completed and the phone tried to boot up after that.
I'm now contacting the OP Customer Support, I've read a few times that they have other files to unbrick the phone with the MSM Tool.

Ye thats the only thing you can currently do... May i ask what you have done how did it get bricked?
I just updated AICP ota and after flashing the update my phone didn't boot up. The screen went black immediately.
So I thought that it is maybe a Problem with the ROM and I tried to go back to stock.
Flashed the stock recovery and locked the bootloader, but I couldn't boot to the stock recovery.
There it started...
Switch off the phone, connect usb ,open unbrick tool full ( method 2),Press vol up,down and power buttons same time ,tool will recognize phone then start , you must unbrick now.
NEVER LOCK YOUR PHONE.

Please read, I already did that.
The tool completed it successfully, but still black screen after a reboot.
Only the LED is flashing white.
I already contacted the support, they will do it remotely tomorrow.

Never but never lock your bootloader...
If recovery, boot or system partition is modified. There's no harm in re locking otherwise..

I'm assuming your device is OnePlus3 and not 3T
Okay. Firstly give a try to Oneplus3 openbeta Nougat special edition.
Oneplus3 : http://downloadmirror.co/Wa9/O2N_OBT_15801_OXYGEN_SIGN_wipe.zip
Method 1 : specific recovery for open beta24 available in Oneplus downloads
https://downloads.oneplus.com
Find legacy roms and find openbeta 24
Method 2: latest TWRP
If your bootloader is locked this isn't gonna work. But if it is still in unlocked .
Download TWRP for Oneplus3 from official TWRP site
Flash the recovery you choose using fast boot.
Now using asn command, try to flash the special edition.
Mostly this solves your issue. It helped me.
Let me know whether you face any issues.
Note: in this method you may lose every data you have on the phone. It boots up (if at all ? ) with fresh firmware and fresh storage (sometimes)

The file I gave link to is a special edition by Oneplus for Openbeta-Nougat. You can go to Nougat from any rom.
Rom: http://downloadmirror.co/Wa9/O2N_OBT_15801_OXYGEN_SIGN_wipe.zip
Specific recovery should be downloaded from Oneplus website.
You can sideload using adb or store internal storage and flash.
I tried with latest TWRP recently and it worked.
Note that all your data gets wiped if you use oneplus-recovey and asn sideload

Yes, it won't stick at 60% with this beta. I'm not the owner. It was provided on Oneplus forums. Try that one and tell me the result. It is a signed zip. So it will work on official Oneplus-recovery

Simply reboot to recovery and say yes to wipe every data.
Note1:
all your internal data is wiped in the method I suggested. I can recall there is a method to recover data only if bootloader is unlocked. If your bootloader is locked there is no other way.
Note2: your data will be formatted to f2fs file system. If you want to flash any custom ROM, YOU SHOULD CHECK COMPATIBILITY WITH F2FS in that ROM forums.
It's better to always have EXT4 file system. You can change this file system with TWRP

Even if the bootloader is locked, you can boot into the current rom and unlock simply by going to advanved options.
It is a very simple process.
Few months ago I flashed some stuff on my phone which I shouldn't have, I guess. In the meantime I got a new one but now I'm trying to recover my OP3. I tried all sorts of MSM tools, (from Marshmallow to latest Pie that OP support provided me with) and in best case I could get it to bootloop and then throw me a dm verity warning screen after that (screenshot below) After that it only can throw me in a generic chinese OP recovery which fails to do anything. MSM runs fine, loads up as HS 9008 Qualcomm device and gets it's job done in 5-6 mins. I can't do anything in fastboot since bootloader is locked after MSM. Is there any help because it seems to not be completely dead?
Thanks

If you can get to bootloader, download and flash OOS 5.0.6. If not, try one of the MSM Tools on XDA. There are quite a few of them, search. Please also note that the Tool is different for 3 and 3T.
I had used one of the oldest Tools here on XDA a couple of times without any hiccups.
Did you get a solution to this? I am struggling with the same issue.
Another OP3 user here with the same problem as you guys.
I tried all of the MSM tools posted here, with no success and varying responses from the phone.
One of them does let me actually boot to recovery, but it's the generic one that only has install from adb (and sideloading always fails at 47% - haven't found a solution around that yet either). From inside recovery, attempting to wipe cache or wipe system gets about 3/4 of the way then the device reboots on its own.
I was also on occasion able to boot to the decrypt password entry screen, but no password is valid and attempting to issue a reset from there (from Forgot password) doesn't seem to do anything.
No issues getting to fastboot or qs9008 serial mode, but bootloader is locked also so kind of stuck.
In my case, phone was working fine, but the OTA update caused a brick so I've been trying to recover it since then.
Maybe somebody else has an idea here..

If you are able to use fastboot, try flashing TWRP or atleast boot TWRP and then from TWRP flash OOS or one of the custom ROMs.
If this also fails, I am at a loss for ideas. May be you have a hardware fault.

Thanks again for trying to help.
Sadly, bootloader is locked so flashing TWRP or even booting to TWRP is a no-go.
I don't think it's a hardware fault since it was working fine before the OTA update, but I guess you never know. Damn, if only sideloading would work, darn thing...
Please need urgent help. I had unlocked bootloader. While trying to update Magisk, my phone rebooted and got stuck on fastboot loop. Then while trying to flash TWRP using fastboot this "Your device is corrupted and cannot be trusted" error occured. I can't go into recovery, it just loops into this message. And my PC can't recognise the phone now at all. Please I need help. I have been trying to resolve this issue for hours now.
This is for Google Pixel 2 XL.

As long as you can get into the bootloader you're not dead in the water. Download the last factory image - NOT OTA image - from Google and flash it while in bootloader mode using ADB and Fastboot. That will return your device to its factory state. From there you can boot - NOT install - TWRP and install a custom ROM as well as root.

First of all thank you for the reply. I don't know but I left the phone alone for couple of hours and right before seeing your post got into bootloader by pressing volume down and power key. Tried to flash TWRP and as soon as it flashed I got the exact same error like last time. I will now be following your method and install factory image. "NOT install - TWRP and Install a custom ROM", so I will not be installing TWRP this time.
I will post updates on what goes and hopefully will be able to flash the factory image without errors.
Thank you very much for the help Strephon. Really, really appreciate it. I am now able to boot into the OS and hopefully installing custom rom or rooting afterwards won't be an issue, Again, thank you very much.
