Bricked OnePlus 3. Please Help!

Okay. I'm desperate... I bricked my OP3 and have no money for a new one!
Here's what happened:
I was running the latest stable version of FreedomOS and everything worked perfectly. I got bored and decided it'd be a good idea to install CM 13. I booted into TWRP and flashed the rom then realized "oh wait i could install CM14" . I went to the XDA thread which said i first had to install a version of Oxygen OS.
Instead of just flashing the O2OS zip through TWRP like a normal person I decided to revert fully to factory settings. I found some instructions on how to do so. They said:
1 - flash stock Recovery
2 - run "fastboot oem lock"
I got this far and reaized that i F***ed up. My OP3 won't boot into recovery or system and i can't run "fastboot oem unlock" (it says remote unlock isn't allowed).
I tried the "Mega Unbrick Guide" but the msn download always fails and says "sahara connection failed"
Is there any way to restore my OP3?
Please say there is... I'm broke and can't afford a new phone... ?

Well, keep trying with that unbrick guide ... It's your best bet.
Btw, re-locking bootloader is not necessary, even if you're reverting to fully stock. It's pointless and can only cause problems, no benefits whatsoever. But now you know that already ...

Well first off, factory settings is just a wipe from TWRP I have no idea why you would install Stock Recovery and relock the device. That's like...LITERAL restore back to stock like before you even got the device.
Next is that your phone needs to be in fastboot mode in order to run OEM unlock.
Plug the phone into a different USB port and try it if not do a little more digging in the OP forums

No need to panic for as long as you have fastboot, you're all good..
Go here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/untouched-oxygen-os-3-2-5-img-boot-img-t3460975
Download the boot and system images and flash through fastboot.. I've done this myself and once your phone boots, install twrp etc..

Oneplus 3 Bricked - Unbrick doesn't work...

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.

Flashed 9.5.6 Global ROM to China Note 5 AI, can't proceed through initial setup

Hello!
Today I finally received permission to unlock my bootloader, after waiting a long 15 days (360 hours). After solving some MiFlash Unlock issues, I finally unlocked my phone. I flashed TWRP and Magisk, and then afterwards I flashed Xiaomi.eu's stable whyred ROM, which worked (including camera sensors), but was terribly slow and clearly very unoptimized. For this reason, I decided to flash the leaked official Global ROM, 9.5.6 from Xiaomi. All was well, and I was presented with the initial set-up screen. After selecting my language (English [United Kingdom]), I was forced to select China as my region on the next page. Seconds after selecting it, my phone reboot and opened the system again, only to reboot within seconds. This process would probably repeat endlessly if I didn't have it in fastboot mode. I can still access TWRP recovery, and my phone still shows that it's unlocked on the boot screen. I've tried doing another clean wipe, and then installation of the global ROM with no success (same error occurs, even when I tried English (United States)).
I've tried to use the MiFlash tool (2017.4.25) but my device isn't detected when I click Refresh, and the fastboot mode displays "press any key to shutdown...". I've tried many different drivers as I thought it was a driver issue, but now I'm not sure.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I tried that, same issue. Also tried with the new 9.5.11 global rom update.

after flashing this Rom and setup complete then flash the leaked official Global ROM, 9.5.6. Otherwise you won't be able to pass the setup screen in latest Oreo Rom.

This one? Fastboot ROM will probably fix that as the bootloop is caused by a conflict with the remaining partitions from the last rom.
Flashing with MIFLASH Tool and selecting CLEAN ALL will clear that issue. Check Troubleshooting at end of the tutorial, it's already answered there. My first tutorial was to downgrade to nougat but that is not needed anymore as the fastboot rom for 9.5.6 is already available.

Ah thank you, I was flashing through recovery. With that being said, MiFlash doesn't detect my phone in fastboot, even if I can normally flash to it through fastboot if I were to open a terminal. Clicking "Refresh" in MiFlash Tool just disables fastboot. I realize its unrelated to your own tutorial, as its probably some fault on my computer. Thanks for your replies!

[Serious]Note 5 pro (Indian Variant)|Unable to boot any rom. [Help pls]

Today morning, I started facing bootloops on my whyred (running Pixel Experience pie latest).I clean flashed PE but couldn't boot into it. Phone would be stuck in bootloops. I changed roms to Potato OS,AICP,Descandent,Syberia,RR etc. but none could boot. All of them would get stuck in boot loop. ( I clean flashed all of them, wiping even my internal storage each time) Then I tried clean flashing Global MIUI latest stable, it boots but my sim cards are not detected and wifi doesnt turn on.Therefore, I was unable to log in to my mi account to verify the device.I tthen downloaded the latest stable MIUI (global) fastboot rom,using the mi flash tool i tried flashing, mi flash tool gave an error:
Code:
Flash antirbpass error
I checked the logs and it said:
Code:
echo current device antirollback version is greater than this package.
I am on anti 4, the rom is anti 4 compliant...why this error. Please help!
Also why was every other rom bootlooping?
Edit1: I still have access to fastboot and TWRP.
Edit2: On the latest Indian beta, It says my IMEI and mac address is not available ( possible curroption) that explains the sim card and wifi not working. Any fix for this?
Edit3: I am now able to boot properly into MIUI (latest Indian developer build) I just need to repair my IMEI and Mac now...has any1 got any idea on how I am supposed to fix it?

You we're running PE ROM without problems, what did you do in your device that started to bootloop?

If you have adb and fastboot installed system wide, uninstall it . Reinstall drivers from xiaomi miflash and try again. It looks like your efs partition has been corrupted. If you have twrp backup of stock rom, use it.

Question POCO F3 gets stuck during flashing with MIUI 14 XIAOMI.EU

Hi all,
I hope someone will be able to guide me as how to recover from this.
So today I tried flashing my POCO F3 with MIUI 14 (xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V14.0.4.0.TKHCNXM_v14-13) from the stock version MIUI 12.
I first successfuly unlocked the bootloader using MiUnlock. I then unlocked the developer options , usb unbugging etc. again on the fresh phone.
I also had USB / ADB and fastloader drivers installed.
I downloaded xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V14.0.4.0.TKHCNXM_v14-13 , phone was already in fastboot and connected to the computer so run 'windows fastboot first install with data format' as an administrator which opened the cmd , after agreeing it started flashing the first few files successfully but when it gets to " Sending 'cmnlib64_ab' (504 KB) " the process just stopped there and it has been like this for around 30 mins - no error ...simply stuck on this step .....
I am not sure on what to do now to avoid bricking my phone, should I leave it connected ? Disconnect it and try flashing it again ? Download an older version of Xiaomi.Eu ROM (e.g MIUI 13 ) ?

Leave it connected for about 1 hour or so until you get success or error confirmation. If failed just reboot to system. If system failed to show up then go to fastboot again and install xiaomi.eu a12 version.
This is exactly why I hate fastboot method and always install rom from twrp

Flash 14.0.5 via orangefox recovery.

I left it overnight and nothing happened . I disconnected the phone and it rebooted ok. I am kind of worried about trying again. Is the twrp method safer ?

Just discovered that I stupidly set the "USB debugging (Security settings) on but I forgot to turn on "USB debugging" which is a few lines above in settings. Could that be what has stopped the process?

Phone should flash fine even if debugging is off. I would recommend you to make sure that the cable doesnt even move an inch during the whole flashing process as that sometimes interrupts it especially if you have a loose port.

I just switched the usb port from the back of the pc (which I think are USB 3.0) to the front panel of the PC (I suspect USB 2.0 ) and tried flashing the MIUI 14 from yesterday again - It worked !!!!

you can do if you flash the fastboot version by mi flash tool, and your bootloader is unlocked.

Thanks... I really appreciate the early reply.
But can't I do this using the recovery method? And also must the android and miui versions of both the global stock rom and custom rom be the same?
Nevermind...thanks for your help

if you want to flash specific version of android, then you need unlocked bootloader and mi flash tool, otherwise make updater app do its job. and no need for the global stock rom and custom rom be the same. just put in your mind to backup your data .
