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!!!!
You should try Fastboot EDL. search Google. Good luck

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.

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, my phone has been dead for like 2 weeks now I even did a remote session in which they tried doing the MSMDownloadtool thing and it did nothing, no vibrations, black screen they just said its fully dead. fast forward to today it just started to react again.
When it tries to boot it boots straight to the OnePlus recovery mode and tells me to input a password, obviously I dont have one seen as its been set and if I click forget password it says it will format everything but it just turns off.
After a few boots I managed to get it to fastboot to realise the bootloader is now locked. the bootloader has always been unlocked since the first day I got it so it must of happened during the MSMDownloadTool process but the issue is now I cant unlock the bootloader because it says "remote: oem unlock is not allowed"
Any suggests that preferably not run MSMDownloadtool because thats been ran so many times already. Thanks
Essentially. No OS, Broken recovery, Locked bootloader and MSMDownloadTool doesnt seem to work. I imagine its just fully locked down and finished but its worth a try
First try the MSMDownload tool with the very first stock Oxygen OS
Then re-lock the bootloader using Adb
I had the same problem and now its fine

I think that your only option is to try the MSM Download Tool. You may have to run it for a few times before it succeeds. I bricked my phone and recovered with the Mega Unbrick Guide (at first attempt). Following the instructions to the letter is most important.
My girlfriend has a OnePlus 3T and is stuck on Oxygen OS 5.0.4, and it doesn't matter if I download the update via the update settings or install it locally or via adb, or use twrp to flash it, I tried all those ways.
Regardless, the update fails every time. I also tried deleting the ota folder, and rebooting her phone to recovery and deleting cache... that doesn't work either. I also tried using adb and typing in - adb reboot "dm-verity enforcing" - still nothing.
I also used the toolkit from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/toolkit-oneplus-3-toolkit-unlock-t3398799
and I tried to lock the bootloader. It took me hours to figure out how to get the bootloader unlocked again, cause I had to enter a password to get in, and at the time my girlfriend had no password on her phone at all.
After I figured out about unlocking the bootloader again, I made a password in the security setting, re locked bootloader, still nothing. The password works while phone's bootloader is unlocked, but not while it's locked.
I made a video to further explain and show the situation.

Still nothing?

I watched your video,
Before you relock the bootloader you must install the stock recovery for your device, you can't relock while TWRP is installed, use this guide, (read the guide once completely before you start).
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...-3-3t-and-go-back-completely-to-stock.456232/
Also make shure you use the latest ADB drivers Inside (SDK Platform-Tools) from google:

Good Luck!
It worked like a charm. Thank you!
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.
I have a bricked Redmi Note 5 Pro. Stock firmware, locked bootloader, did literally nothing that would cause this. Just updated firmware (it happened few years ago, just now decided to try and repair it), and after update It's stuck in Mi-Recovery 3.0, with options only for "Reboot", "Wipe Data" and "Connect with MIAssistant", with red text at the bottom "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device" (see photo). Tried everything form this menu, nothing solves the problem. I can boot into fastboot but can't use it as the bootloader is locked and debugging is off. I can go into EDL mode but can't flash as I need to log in into Mi Account, and my sister (this phone was hers) forgot the password and even the account which was connected to this device. I was looking for MiFlash that bypasses authorization but can't find any that is not marked as malware (anyone knows of any that is safe?). At was past the warranty and I've tried to ask few phone-repair shops but the said that is unrepairable.
Any ideas what I can check or try next to solve this problem?
BTW. Does anyone knows why all of this happened? As I already said, never did anything with OS, only updated it which caused brick. My only idea is, as this phone was bought not from official store, that it might be a phone that was bought cheaper in china, then flashed with modified global OS and after update it was replaced with official global OS which bricked the phone. No idea if something like this is possible.
Edit [Sep 19, 2021]: I got somewhere. Used Firehose file to flash whyred global image without authenitcation. Got into system. I can at least go into fastboot and it's detected correctly in windows. Now I'm trying to get root, flash TWRP and any non-stock OS. Couldn't flash directly via fastboot because of anti-rollback check. Tried to do "fastboot boot twrp_rn5pro.img" which resulted in FAIL in console (status read failed - too many links) and "The system has been destroyed - click the power button to shutdown".
Edit2 [Sep 19, 2021]: Looks like my bootloader is still locked and that's why I can't flash custom recovery. But when I look in the phone settings it says that my phone is already unlocked. Checking in fastboot via PC says otherwise. Enabled OEM unlocking, but fastboot still says "FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device". Can't unlock it using MiUnlock cause they say that I need to set my account as available to unlock in unlock status on my device, but I can't do it as my device says that it's already unlocked.
Edit3 [Sep 20, 2021]: I've tried other tool: XiaoMiTool V2 (by Francesco Tescari). As the option "My device works normally I want to mod it" didn't work I chose "My device is bricked I want to unbrick it". Selected option without unlocking bootloader (wouldn't work). And it actually auto-detected that it's chinese phone and flashed chinese OS (MIUI 10.3 Stable). At the boot I got a prompt that this device is locked and I need to log into my Mi account (the one I logged in in the last ROM - from first Edit), after logging in it let me go through setup (luckily there was English). But phone still says that it's unlocked while it's still locked in fastboot. So in the end it didn't got me anywhere, but at least I know that orginally it was a chinese phone.
Edit4 [Sep 20, 2021]: Finally solved the problem! Used this tutorial. Did everything like shown on video and at the end I have MIUI 12 with unlocked bootloader (this time it's actually unlocked - checked with fastboot). Managed to flash TWRP using dummy.img and flashing to recovery. Couldn't boot from img, but vol+ + power did the job. With working recovery I can do everything else I wanted to do.
I had the same issue, which I also managed to fix. I thought I'd share what I did here.
My phone was bricked with access to MIUI recovery and Fastboot. My phone was locked, however my phone was not linked to my Mi account, and so I couldn't unlock it using the Mi Unlock tool. The only way to get into EDL mode was via the testpoint method. It's not as scary as people may think.
Many of the YouTube videos on testpoint show that you have to touch the two terminals while pushing the cable into the phone. Several times I was able to activate EDL mode without doing both at the same time - i.e. I could just connect the cable and touch the two terminals (I used a paper clip) and the phone would enter EDL mode. I think it might have had something to do with me pressing the power button. In my case, I had to have the battery disconnected from the circuit to get into EDL mode.
I used the Xiaomi Flash tool. Always remember to select not to relock the bootloader. I think it's stupid that relocking is the default option and that the radio buttons are at the bottom of the program and sometimes not visible on a laptop. That's how I got into this mess in the first place!
One of the things that I think causes the "MIUI version" problem is attempting to install the incorrect stock ROM. The phones may be fussy about which stock ROM they will accept. In my case, I thought the phone was a global version, then worked out that it was probably a Chinese version.
I replaced the firehose files in all the ROMs I attempted flashing with the ones supplied on XDA. The Xiaomi Flash tool reported success several times, but when starting up the phone it would go into recovery with the "MIUI version" message. I tried about six different MIUI ROMs with the testpoint method, both global and Chinese, before stumbling on the one that worked (after replacing the firehose files): whyred_images_V11.0.2.0.PEICNXM_20191023.0000.00_9.0_cn
When I got back into MIUI, I linked the phone to my MI account and then attempted flashing the latest LineageOS (which was what I was trying to do in the first place), using the Lineage recovery. The phone wasn't accepting the Lineage recovery, so I flashed OrangeFox-R11.0-Stable-whyred. I had to boot to Orangefox in order to flash it. You copy the Orangefox zip file to your phone using your computer when you have MIUI up and running, then you enter Fastboot and run the following command from your computer:
fastboot boot recovery.img
From Orangefox, you then select the Orangefox zip file on your phone and swipe to install.
Once that was done, I rebooted to recovery and did a wipe of the phone. It wasn't enough for me to wipe Dalvik/ ART Cache and Cache (as recommended), I had to also wipe System, Vendor and Data. (I tried just the first two and the LOS installation was corrupt, even though it was reported as being successful.) I then copied LOS to a micro SD card, inserted it into the phone and mounted it, before flashing LOS by navigating to the zip file on the SD card, selecting it and selecting wipe to install.
Finally success!
I think the key with the testpoint method is to keep trying ROMs until you stumble on the one that works. If the Xiaomi Flash tool reports success, I think it means you are doing something right. I also wonder if a lot of people who have the "MIUI version" issue have a phone with the Chinese ROM and don't realise it.
Hope this helped someone!
by any chances how do you unlock bootloader if you just bypass the mi account?

the reason is I got my phone Redmi Note 5 Pro on fb marketplace by swapping my old phone, when I'm using it there's no mi account logged in on my phone then I tried to install the latest MIUI 12 by flashing it on MiFlash but I didn't notice that I didn't change the setting on clean all so it locked my bootloader, after I manage to fix the issue about my phone because it doesn't open and it only boot on recovery with a message "This MIUI...." and make it boot by flashing cn official rom, it says that my phone is locked and I need to logged in the old mi account, I already ask the previous owner but he said he doesn't have an access on that account, even the number and email are already lost

If it's locked and you haven't registered the phone with Mi Account, then you will need to use test point. There are a lot of claims that it's not necessary, but I tried many of them and it wouldn't work. I think they are a load of rubbish to get you to pay money. Test point is not that hard, but you need to pick the right ROM.
