Hey guys, I have a friend that has a BSOD S21 FE. I've tried soft resetting (Volume Down + Power for 10 and 30 seconds), as well as trying to boot into the service menu with the phone plugged into a computer and using Volume Up + Power. Both have resulted in no joy.
Any suggestions on what else I can try?
Plugging the phone into the computer does not register a new device in Windows Device Manager. I also don't think it's a dead battery because I have tried charging for 1 hour.

Hi, Running marshmallow Resurrection Reminx dec 24 build, was just texting over whatsapp and locked the screen, when i came back, the phone just does not respond to anything! tried restarting by holding power button, but then it does not vibrate when trying to power on
tried charging for 30 minutes, nothing, connecting usb to pc i get no response from device or pc!
tried powering on holding power button and volume up button, nothing, tried also with volume down
tried connecting to pc holding volume buttons, nothing
im hoping i just have to wait for the battery to die? its weird because when i call i hear 5 or 6 rings (on my house phone not on device)
this was like 12 hours ago and i had 60 something % battery...
any help? thanks.
I did a software update recently on my Z5 Premium Dual E6833, and when I look at it later it was off! I tried to turn it on, but it was unresponsive. No signs of life at all. Its completely dead. OFF button in SIM slot does nothing, even if I hold it for more than two minutes. No charging LED light when connected to wall charger. When I plug it to my PC, it was being detected as "Unknown Device". Tried loading some ADB driver but it was not accepting it. Tried few different chargers and cables as well. Also Volume Up + Power does nothing at all, same for Volume Down + Power...
Looks like it runs out of charge when it did a software update, it was still have more than 50% when I started the software update. ..
Can anyone guide me on what to do next? I am in the middle of the desert at the moment for the next three weeks, and no access to any local service center. Thank you in advance for any advice that you might have... :crying:
i am worried since you did the volume up + power button trick!
charge your device over night , hold the volumeup+ power button for atleast 15 seconds , the device must jerk thrice! remove fingers on second jerk . the device will shutdown . at this point connect device in flashmode and flash the kernel!
Thank you for your reply, appreciate it! I have tried that trick of holding the Volume Up + Power even up to 30 seconds, but for some unknown reason, it does not vibrate at all. I have tried it on numerous occasion but the vibration was not coming at all...
So basically as the title says: Z5 Premium was working, I unplugged it from charging to 100%, put it down for 15 minutes and when I picked it up black screen and no response to anything I know.
I tried turning it on obviously, holding power + volume up for 30 seconds, plugging it into USB on PC.
The only wierd thing other than this happening was 2 days ago it went black and non-responsive and I thought it was toast but then holding power + volume up worked even though it didn't seem to at first.
Software is rooted stock with TWR which I can't boot into.
Is there anything else I can do at this point or should I give away/sell for parts?
Cheers!
I was getting a notice on boot that said "Your device is corrupted and cannot be trusted," so I held down the power and volume down buttons to get it to fastboot mode. However, I couldn't get it to be recognized in fastboot on my laptop. At one point I selected "reboot bootloader" and the phone promptly shut off, black screen and completely unresponsive.
From that point on, I can't get it to do anything. I've tried holding power + volume down for 20 seconds and then plugging it in (as noted in another thread) as well as taking it apart and disconnecting the battery to see if that would reset it somehow. No dice.
Any other suggestions before I give up? Thanks very much in advance...

my device is for the most part of the time in qualcomm mode, but I managed to have access to the phone 3 days ago, installing apps & stuff, worked perfectly well until I had
the bad idea to try to charge it through the charger instead of charging it through my computer...
how I've done it?
I used the power reboot technic :
1) pressing the power button for 1 minute
2) doing nothing for some seconds
3) pressing the power button again for 1 minute
4) connecting the phone to the charger, the red light flashed
5) the battery icon appeared soon after
6) waiting for complete charge, phone rebooting
it worked once, so I suppose it can work again. fingers crossed.
My Oneplus 3 is currently facing the worst form of boot loop. The phone keeps looping until it drains all of its battery.
This phone has been running like a tank for the last 4 years. When this issue began, it had 75% of the battery at the time. The phones Power button menu got automatically triggered and phone was restarted (all within 5 seconds) and ever since its stuck in a boot loop.
Below is the current scenario
Power off button has no effect, the phone keeps looping since then
Vol+ enters fastboot but I can't select anything, looping continues after 2 secs or so (Device state: LOCKED)
Vol- has the effect that the looping stops as long as I hold the button. After releasing that button the loop pauses for let's say 10secs and the loop continues. Otherwise no effect.
Power & Vol- buttons pressed together leads to a PIN unlock screen after the boot screen, I enter the pin, hit OK and as the Decryption begins.....we are back to boot loop
when plugged to power connection: loop cycle seems to be larger, loop occurs every 10 secs. in between the phone stays off
when the power becomes low, the boot loop continues but with the 'Battery too low' screen and the loops continue until the battery completely drains out
When I hold both the Volume buttons and connect to the PC via USB, the phone establishes a short connection for a few seconds. Not a stable connection, it showed "QHUSB_BULK" port in the device manager and I was able to somehow install the Qualcomm driver.
Post that when I connect, it directly shows a "Qualcomm HS USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5)" in the Device manager but the connection only lasts for a few seconds as the boot loop continues.
The MSM tool detected the connection a couple of times but since the connection only lasted for a few seconds, the tool wasn't able to anything.
I have scoured over the forums for a similar scenario, haven't found any.
Look, the phone has had its fair share of drops and falls over the years and it withstood it all. And this issue happened when I was casually browsing on chrome. I don't know what to say ...Please help!!

Check your power button. I think that it might be stuck in the 'on' position. If you have a case/cover for the phone, remove it and check.
You may also have to open up the phone for checking.
Otherwise, may be a motherboard issue.
Hold the buttons longer.
Try again but don't release until the tool is properly running.

I had the same. The power button broke. He was pressed all the time. Using tape and foil, I changed the contacts with vol + before the new button came.
I am facing the same issue , any solution ?
Update: while I moved on to a new phone, I tried turning on the OP3 once again after 8 months and miraculously the boot loop had somehow stopped and it let me enter the fastboot recovery manager. But my power button is still not functioning so couldn't do much in there.
So while in fastboot mode I connected my phone to the computer and via ADB did a "fastboot reboot" which restarted my phone normally.
Right now..
Power button is dead, so a virtual power button is used, the alert slider is also dead for some reason, so a virtual volume controller.
Whenever my phone shuts down due to empty battery juice or another unknown cause I have to restart it via the ADB fastboot method mentioned above. Other than that the phone works fine.
