Hello all!
I have a major, major, problem. Last night I wanted to flash a new ROM, so I had everything wiped from my sdcard so it will be like new again. Sadly, I was retarded enough to also do a wipe on /system. Now there is no Android OS loaded on my phone anymore and no ROMs on my internal sdcard to flash it.
The phone would boot up and will be stuck on the screen with the white Google logo and the white unlocked lock.
I am still able to boot into Download mode, Fastboot mode and CWM. The bootloader is also unlocked.
The problem is that none of my PCs and Laptops would recognize my phone, not even trying numerous tutorials and reading different similar threads.

Also Odin and GNEX Toolkit doesn't see that my device is plugged in, both in Fastboot mode and Download mode, so I cannot flash with that either.
I hope someone had experienced the same problem or knows a solution to my problem.
Thanks in advance!
you have a driver problem. you need to uninstall your drivers and reinstall them.
So normally my PC would detect my phone even without it having any data or OS on it?
Could you maybe point out for me what kind of drivers I actually need? I have tried so many I got really confused.

Focus on getting the correct fastboot drivers installed, and try to get your computer to recognize the phone when you type "fastboot devices" while connected via USB.
Flash a stock image from Google in fastboot mode. Boot into it at least once in order to regenerate the internal storage partition, before futzing around with custom recovery, root and new ROMS etc. If you flash CWM/TWRP without first booting once into the OS, you may be unable to write files to internal storage hence blocking any further progress.
I have tried almost everything to get the drivers installed on all the PCs I have at home, non of them is regocnizing my device.
tried it on both Windows 7 64Bit and Windows XP 32Bit.
Is my warrenty void if the bootloader is unlocked?

You're holding it wrong. Either that or your USB port/USB cable has died.
Okay so now that I've scanned pretty much all of what the internet has to offer on this issue, I'm helpless and forced to write a new thread here about this.
Yes, a similar question has been replied to a million times before, but absolutely none of that helped, made no difference whatsoever.
So earlier, I was on the stock rom, with TWRP flashed and root access. But wanted to switch to the community build. Tried the twrp trick to install the CB but that didn't work, so flashed the stock OP3 rom and flashed community build.
All went fine, until I tried flashing back TWRP. Used the traditional ADB method of doing that, seemed to have flashed it but tried going into recovery only to be presented with a black screen. I got fed up of that trying to fix it for a whole day so I just left it, because I could still boot into the OS and that worked fine.
Fast forward to about a week later; somehow the flash didn't work and I still have stock recovery. Now I try flashing TWRP again, but I discover that my device doesn't get detected in fastboot. It absolutely refuses to.
It DOES, however, gets detected in the OS just fine.
I've tried every which way, absolutely NOTHING seems to work AT ALL.
- OEM unlocking is checked, if that makes a difference
- USB debugging is turned on
- Uninstalled all USB drivers related to the device, and installed them via device manager (but it gave me this error:
"the folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows for x64-based systems)
seeing as I'm on an x64 version of Windows (its worked before with my Nexus 5, I swear)
- Tried it with different adb fastboot files, from all over the internet. All of them show just that blank space after I type in 'adb devices'
- Installed universal adb drivers.
- Samsung drivers.
- Obviously the official OnePlus drivers.
- Used Usbdeview to uninstall / force stop and re-installed the drivers.
- All in one tool
Now I'm thinking, I should try to re-lock the bootloader and unlock it again, or do like hard rest sort of things. I have no idea though, how this would affect the detection in fastboot.
Anyone have any ideas? Because I'm out of all of them, and so is most of internet.
TL;DR - Adb devices detects phone while booted in OS, but not in fastboot. Tried all methods, nothing works. Going to do lock bootloader then unlock it and try again, if not that then going to do a clean wipe and install the community build again, hoping that would work. Should I?

Having the exact same Problems with my OP3 running everything stock 3.2.7 expect for the fact the device is unlocked...
Would love to hear how the problem can be solved!

Hmmm Windows 7.
I can most certainly try that but the real question now is; how the hell did it work previously on my Windows 10 machine and refuses to work now? But at least I have a solution to try out, in the mean time! Thanks!

You need modified twrp by @eng.sdk.

I am having a similar issue. I have a brand new OP3. Everything stock. I'm attempting to unlock the bootloader and have found that while ADB recognises the phone, Fastboot doesn't. I'm pretty sure it's a driver issue and I have no idea how to fix.
Hello
Everything is working good
it seems to be a problem with adb Windows 10 IDK
, it is better to do it on Windows 7

I'm afraid you've missed the point, my friend.
If the phone does not get detected in the fastboot, it means I cannot flash anything, period. No original TWRP, no modified TWRP.
I had this exact issue and fixed it.
Fastboot would never see my device, no matter which driver package I tried or no matter how I tried to install or force the correct drivers. Turns out Windows 10 (and Windows 8) has a feature that completely prevents installation of unsigned drivers, which blocks the fastboot driver. If you're seeing "Kedracom" or "Android Device" in the device manager, then your driver is NOT actually installed. This is true even if Windows doesn't throw you an error message during install, or if you appear to force the installation. Even though it looks like you're doing the install correctly, Windows just ignores your unsigned drivers.
You need to temporarily disable the security feature to permit installation of unsigned drivers. This involves invoking a special restart function. Here's the howto for Win10: http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how-...igned-drivers/
Once you've done this, on the next reboot you can do a forced install of the unsigned fastboot drivers you downloaded for the OP3. And simply rebooting your computer restores the security feature.
It's mostly because of the windows security over unsigned drivers.. Try the above method or just the cmd way..
Sent from my Xiaomi Mi 5 using XDA Labs
Tl;dr: DM-VERITY error after upgrading, SIM card not recognized. Can't get fastboot to work to try out a solution. Everything is going to ****.
So... this one's a doozy.
I tried to install the update by dropping it onto my phone and using TWRP to install it, which I ended up having to update. After I updated, I get a brief second popup screen when I reboot telling me that there is an invalid DM-VERITY (it only pops up for a second). When the phone loads, it doesn't recognize SIMs.
I did some research and it looks like the issue can be fixed by flashing the stock recovery. So I go to flash the stock recovery, which requires the usage of fastboot. Which I always have problems with.
Sure enough, adb recognizes my device but fastboot doesn't. I have all the drivers downloaded, so I go check on my device in device manager. For some reason, it's always listed under "Portable Devices" no matter what I do... no matter whether I enable/disable USB debugging, MTP/PTP/Charging, etc. I was under the impression that a device not being recognized by fastboot meant that you had to go find it under "other devices" and manually update the drivers. However, the only options here are ADB drivers, not bootloader ones.
So I did more research. Turns out that Windows 10 is ****ty and you have to disable secure boot to install unsigned drivers. So I went into my BIOS, disabled it, booted into safe mode, reinstalled the drivers, and... nothing.
So I'm basically where I started and for the first time in a while, I have no clue what to do. Nothing's working. I even tried to load an older version of OxygenOS and install it with TWRP (sideloading didn't work), which didn't work. I'm totally stuck and I have no idea what to do.
If you don't care about your data, just use the unbrick guide method 2. Don't know about the first one, I have never used that. That will get you to a like new phone. You could even get 4.0.3 version, using the newer unbrick toolkit.
Windows 10 x64 isn't that sh**y. I've never had issues with the drivers, and they all install automatically (fastboot, adb, unbrick tool). They all work with 4 phones without any issues: OP3, Nexus 5X, Nexus 5, Nexus 4.
True, I had just unbrick my op3 2 days back by method 2 .
Well this was wild
So I did try to unbrick and got the Sahara communication error.
But I ended up fixing my problem! Someone on Reddit correctly pointed out that the dm-verity screen often exists simply as a result of unlocking the bootloader. I was assuming that one symptom caused the other. They suggested just reflashing OnePlus's 4.1.3 full ROM. I did it exactly the same way as I had when I got the error (with TWRP) and... it worked!
I'm astounded. My phone wouldn't work with fastboot, wasn't recognized by the unbrick toolkit, and had a host of other issues. I did 7 hours of work on it and the solution ended up being that I just needed to reinstall the OS (again). My hypothesis is that there was some hidden issue that resulted in part of the firmware being incorrectly updated, and when I wiped my device as part of my troubleshooting process it was ready to be reflashed with the OS.
Thank you guys so much anyway!
I don't know how this happened, I tried to update to MIUI 10 and now TWRP says I don't have an OS and fastboot just boots on & off, on & off for eternity.
How can I reset it? When I tried updating with TWRP I got some weird error and now this happened. Is it possible to do an ordinary factory reset from TWRP or fastboot? Also, I can't plug my Xiaomi MI6 into the computer with USB-C. Some time ago I dropped it with headphones connected to the USB-C and the connection ONLY works for charging. Headphones don't work, and I don't think it works on the PC either. UNLESS, there's so program I need for the computer to connect to the Xiaomi, but plugging it in to the PC it doesn't react or the computer says it doesn't know what it is.

Hi! I have the Mi Flash program, but when I connect my Xiaomi MI 6 to the computer, my computer keeps saying it doesn't recognize the device and I can't refresh in Mi Flash to find my phone
Bump.
Well I could not wait anymore, I bought a new phone but I still wanna try fix this phone to sell it.
Is this forum dead?
Similar problem here. Help guys!
Download a custom ROM and put it into a flash or sd card then connect it to your device through OTG and wipe system vendor cash data but DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE, then just flash the rom and reboot .
I wanted to install a new rom on my Mi a2 lite, because it started to lag and crash, twrp had no issues at all. Untill today. The phone has currently no OS installed.
I'm trying to install with the adb sideload feature however I cannot hear the Windows connection sound and get a message in cmd saying that its trying to backroll.
Tried booting a different twrp version from fastboot, but my device simply wouldn't show up under fastboot devices. Tried MiFlash tool, where my device got recognized, but I couldnt go far with it, because the phone turns off itself after few seconds.
Right now the only way to install anything on the device is by removing the sd-card, inserting it into my LG, installing the packages on the card and then putting card back in the Mi A2 lite.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks for reading
In your situation, I will probably try starting the phone in fastboot with the volume key, reinstalling the driver on PC and connecting it with a different cable.
If everything go, you can put It in edl and reinstall the stock rom and then reflash a custom rom. Although I am using OrangeFox without no issue at all.
Good luck!
