I backed myself into a brick corner and need some guidance - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

New issue: Live support team helped me flash my device back to stock. And I resume my day.
Eventually notification notified me of an update downloaded and I agree to install, and then it bootlooped on me.
What luck. Anyway what should I do now, technically my system wasn't wiped like before so I should have more options right?

boot into fastboot and flash all the .img files (except persist and recovery) found here https://build.nethunter.com/misc/oneplus3T/partitions/
make sure the files are in the same folder adb is in
the commands are
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img

Even if I had USB debugging turned off and no OS?
edit: I didn't realize two of those file were 3GB, that said do I flash system and system sparse? Those are system-sized flashes are those two different systems?
And is there a flashing order?

if you are in fastboot usb debugging is null. do boot and then system, don't worry about system sparse. boot and then system is the flashing order.

Do I assume dsp.img is another one I should ignore?
And: error: cannot load 'system.img'
Boot worked fine tho

Flash the stock recovery.img from that link. Then reboot into recovery. Select English, then Install from ADB. This will put you in ADB sideload. Then flash the full OTA zip by using the command adb sideload *name of the file*.

That sounds helpful but I'm not familiar with the commands.
But before I do, how sure are you will that work before I go for that? What I knew about flashing a new rom didn't help me due to an error, what nicksmizzle told me to do with flashing system in fastboot didn't work, what if tossing TWRP out the window and going back to stock just digs me even deeper in my hole?

It won't. The OTA's are made to be installed in stock recovery. You can check the OnePlus 3 community forums if you would like for more information. But installing the OTA on stock recovery is safe. And BTW, I have done it so I'm not just guessing or anything.

Here's a video to kind of give you an idea of what to do. It's not the greatest but it's short. You will have to fastboot flash the stock recovery image first as the video doesn't cover that.

I went ahead and did that, but when I went to ADB sideload, my computer wouldn't recognize the device
and in cmd prompt it just says waiting on device

What OS are you on ?
The command "adb devices" should give a device number as return, if not you may need to install an adb-driver on Win-Systems.

Windows 7, but don't I already have the drivers if I was able to install twrp or reflash stock recovery?
Also I did a google search but all im getting are adb drivers for nexus. Is there a generic one I can use somewhere?

Well, when you are in adb sideload mode and the device is plugged in you should be able to see that in the Windows device manager. AFAIK the download mode (fastboot flashing) is different than adb mode and you may indeed need an adb-driver (just google it, its available quite easily on the web).
But before you do so: does "adb devices" return a device number ?

Nope, thats what I implied in the 1st post without saying so, I said I ad no adb, as in no adb communication between my device and pc. I didnt think adb worked without usb debugging turned on because before I even created the thread I did over the flashing guide I used to install TWRP. devices didn't give me the serial like it did yesterday when I flashed twrp.
and I searched adb sideload opeplus 3 drivers and its just giving me oneplus i isntalled that came with the phone. Unless theres something specific I need, then im probably going to google the wrong thing

Hmm, strange. Maybe you have a corrupt download ? Can you open the ZIP you downloaded in your first post with 7Zip or something alike ?
If the ZIP file seems fine (BTW, the one I downloaded has a MD5 checksum 0e2b4f9c7e7a1edf533f0d436ba48d95 - opens up OK for me but could not check flashing due to lack of OP3T ) it may help to follow along the instructions on factory resetting that can be found here. Just be careful, this is for OP3. #1 is already covered (given your downloaded ZIP is fine), #2 can be gotten from the link given in Post #2 in this thread.
Then you should hopefully have a clean basis to start from....
Cheers, Axel

It seems the daemon ist not running when first giving the command. As it should have started after the first command, what happens if you just repeat the "adb devices" for a second time?

[Q] TWRP 2.5.0.0 Unresponsive

Hello,
I while ago I decided to root my HTC to get some extra stuff. I used a guide on youtube that seemed to be reasonably well made and followed everystep of the process. But before I could root it I had to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP recovery. I got the latest version and proceeded to the next step, where I encountered my problem. After flashing the recovery everything seemed to be well except that my phone wasn't actually rooted. I decided to redo some of the last steps. This is where things get a bit tricky. I have done this quite a while ago (maybe 3-4 months) and don't exactly remember the steps that I repeated but I think I've also flashed TWRP a second time, as well as some other steps. And when it came to the part where I needed to use the recovery I found out that the recovery doesn't work. I can't press anything on the screen, I can however press the lock button and lock the device but when the *slide to unlock* appears it stops working again. I was running out of time and decided to leave it for another time but time has passed and I never really got the time to tinker with it any more since university started and I'm more busy then ever. This has left me with no ability to root or even update my phone.
This brings me to today, when I restored my phone completely forgetting what has happened. It got back to Android 4.1 and I can't do anything about it.
I hope to sort this out and finally root the phone. But even getting rid of TWRP to the original recovery so I could just update my phone would be very helpfull.
Thank you very much.

The background information is helpful but you have given us nothing to go on.
Post a fastboot getvar all except remove the imei and serialno?
What are you trying to accomplish? Return to Stock? S-OFF?

Tell me what background information do you need and I'll get everything.
The goal is to get a working recovery, which ever one it would be I don't really care. I just want to be able to update the firmware.
reboot into the bootloader. flash the latest twrp for your device using fastboot flash recovery recoverynamehere.zip

I don't know what adb is, sorry. And no I don't, I had to do everything on my friend's laptop because it didn't seem to work on my machine (W8.1 compared to his W7).

you can flash twrp 2.6.3.3
download the file and save it in the same folder where you have installed minimal adb and fastboot
then open the command prompt and with the phone in bootloader/fastboot mode enter these commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
What do you want to achieve then? Custom rooted rom? stock rooted rom (latest version)? or you simply what to root the rom you currently have?

CWM does not detect my device

hello, I'm kinda desperate on installing recoveries on my phone
I'm following this guide over here
USB debugging mode is turned on, but it is not detected on the shell/command window
when I checked my device manager, my device driver is not found, I tried installing flash tool drivers, but I dunno where to search for these drivers, so I followed the way in this thread
and I found 4 drivers in the list:
- Android ADB interface
- Sony ADB interface
- Sony Composite ADB interface
- Sony Fastboot Interface
tried all the ADB interface but still give same result so I uninstalled the driver back to the way it was
Please help me as I'm really newbie at this and I wanna try Stryflex ROM, thanks
Note:
1. I already unlocked my bootloader, but someone in here said to unlock bootloader first so I assume that it will end the same way as LB
2. The error I received from the command window is "device not found"
3. Phone version C3502
4. currently still using stock ROM with 12.1.A.1.207 firmware, rooted with towelroot
5. I unlock the bootloader using the step on sony site
Bump, pls help anyone?

I strongly advise for you to START with another way and also use TWRP as a default recovery. CWM (and inherently PhilZ) are very old unsupported recoveries.
If you insist, you might want to install DoomLord's driver pack and try again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635830

Nope, this is my only device
Like i said, i cant install recoveries like what the tutorial above said because it's not detected
Hence i cannot proceed to other thing because of the fear of me failing to install cusrom
If i can install recoveries, i can backup (CMIIW) and it's at least reassuring me to do other things, this is my first time doing this so knowing nothing makes me confused and a bit terrified of I fail

You can also point to the absolute path of the img file, but that would be complicated so copying would be easier. (welcome to the world of consoles (not the game consoles (command prompt)))

firstly I do install TWRP according to your guide over there using fastboot tools
the one with this command
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
then it shows message like this
http://www.iforce.co.nz/View.aspx?i=ivkcgknl.fyl.png
I then restart my device normally and it boots into recovery mode, in which then I make backup by selecting all the option to my external card, and proceed to reboot after it's done
it returns me to TWRP once again, and I reboot using "reboot system", it shows sony logo and then black screen for a few minutes, and I got sent back to TWRP once more, I've tried "reboot bootloader" menu too and the same result, I've repeat this for a lot of times and still same result pops out
sorry to bother you this late night and have a nice sleep

Oh i thought you were ready for flashing Stryflex!
Anyway the reason why it booted to the TWRP repeatedly is because of the reason that you flashed a recovery into the boot partition. Please re-read carefully the page that I linked you to
Anyway to boot back to your stock ROM, get yourself a "boot" stock component from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62447987&postcount=3
Flash it in the TWRP
sorry for the trouble.

Required Help with connecting phone to PC in order to root

I am trying to root my device, to the final goal of installing a Nougat build on it. Been browsing through lots of guides, including this one which looks rather friendly:
https://www.idroidspace.com/how-to-root-htc-one-m7/
The problem is that the software did not recognize my phone.
I have enabled USB debugging. the PC detects the phone, I also have HTC Driver installed (downloaded HTC Sync Manager).
I also unlocked the boot-loader in the past, with success to the best of my knowledge (anyway I can confirm?).
Another problem I got that may come from the same source is that when opening command prompt and putting ADB Devices it wouldn't detect anything.
I have already old version of TWRP installed but I cannot flash the nougat from it, and in order to update the TWRP I wanted to root the device.
Am pretty much a beginner but can follow orders.

It's a waste of time to root if you're planning to flash a Nougat rom. It's a well spread misconception when ppl say "I want to root my phone" cause you're not rooting the phone, you're rooting the operating system on it (the rom). Most custom roms are pre-rooted so when flashing it on your phone you'll already have root. If you flash a non-rooted rom over your already rooted rom, you'll loose root hence why it's a waste of time to do it now. The only thing needed to flash a custom rom is a unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery.

Reboot in bootloader mode and check the first line of text it will either be ***LOCKED*** ***UNLOCKED*** or ***RELOCKED***

Make sure you have the latest drivers version. ADB commands are only usable when booted in the OS with usb debugging turned on and you also need to unlock your screen once after connecting the phone to your PC. ADB commands will also work when booted in TWRP recovery. WIll not work in bootloader mode where you have to use FASTBOOT commands.

What is your twrp version and what rom do you want to flash? What is your "fastboot getvar all" ?
and in order to update the TWRP I wanted to root the device.

You don't need root to update TWRP, just flash the latest version using fastboot in bootloader mode:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery file_name.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Alray, thanks for your thorough reply. I'd appreciate further help.

TWRP 2.6.3.0 is really outdated. This version does not have the required kernel to support the fstab file system used by recent roms. You need at least twrp 2.7.1.1, or the latest version: 3.1.N0.0
Are you using the original usb cable that came with the phone? If no you might want to double check if your usb cable is capable of data transfer (there are usb cables that only have the +5v and ground connections for charging but not the data+ and data- connections). Try another usb ports/cable.

PC feels the phone though - when on normal landing page I can see the phone content on explorer + it generates HTC Sync Manager.

You need to uninstall HTC sync manager, otherwise it will not work.
Or eaven better way is to install just naked drivers instead of sync manager.

Became interested in this phone since I found a 6/128 model for 160$. If fastboot is failing (maybe because of the different partition size?) I'd go with SPFlashTool: if I remember well phone only need to be swithed off when you start downloading the image, therefore it goes well with bootloping if you choose the right moment

That's exactly what I'm saying: SPFlashTool doesn't require your phone to be in fastboot mode, only to be switched of when you plug it in. I had the same problem with an Archos Sense 55S after treying to root it. I wasn't able to enter neither fastboot or recovery mode, therefore I flashed the stock rom with SPFT

Which model are you using, the 6/64 or the 6/128?
For the former you can use a TWRP Backup done by @dreambo in order to restore at least the boot and and recovery partition
https://forum.xda-developers.com/maze-alpha/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-maze-alpha-x-t3740575
while for the latter a link in this post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/maze-alpha/development/original-rom-t3720714) is given ( eventually as soon as my phone arrives I can dump the image):

Hi ttl1982, before giving an answer I should know what are we talking about. Is it the same phone? And which version? What is the current situation (bootlooping into TWRP, bootlooping into Android)? Even assuming we're still talking about the Maze Alpha X, there are still too much variables!

I have Maze Alpha X 6/64 model. If “bootloader mode” doesnt open how can i install ‘twrp’ ? About Thread article i read everything but my only problem is my phone dont open “bootloader mode”. And only solution is stock rom i think than you need SPFlashTool to install it. Maybe you know better than me how can i install “twrp” without opening “bootloader mode” ? I wrote above why this happened.
I click Power and Vol+ buttons as i show in the video phone turn of but doesn’t open “bootloader mode”

No, even in the case you just want to boot into TWRP (and be able to use one of the backups provided in that post) you need to access fastboot mode. during bootlooping does your PC find the device with the "adb devices" command (namely, as soon as your phone boots up you'd spam this command via terminal)?

Hi, Thanks for your quick response. I will share some more info like you asked.
- Phone: Maze Alpha X
- Version: 6GB RAM/128GB Storage
- Current situation: It won't start at all (when connected to Windows PC i get the 'USB device not recognized' error, so it does see something)
My idea is the following:
- Install recovery with SPK flashtool
- Restore with backup (i have this from another thread) or the system dump.
The above does not work because i do not have the correct preloader file (so SPK flash tool does recognize the phone?).
ADB is not recognizing the phone, so it can't be done that way (as far as my knowledge goes).
I asked Maze several times to provide me the original rom but i get zero response, no matter on what channel i ask them.

Yes I was thinking the same. Eventually you do not need to install the recovery, restoring the bootloader should be enough: if the bootloader is already unlocked you can just boot into TWRP and from there restoring the backup previously copied into a SD card.

By the way, it seems that this very website (in particular here https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-468.html) hosts a guide to dump a Mediatek firmware SPFlashTool compatible, together with the necessary files, but guess what?

Help! Stuck on "Charging screen" after uninstalling magisk.

I wanted to remove root, tried following some guides and so I came upon trying to uninstall magisk. I was prompted with two choices, "Restore images" and "Complete Uninstall".
I tried out Restore images first and it said "stock backup does not exist" so I then proceeded to do a complete uninstall. I got stuck then in recovery mode bootloop.
I therefore tried to go to my recovery by turning off my phone first and now it's in this perpetual charging state, I removed the connector but it's still "charging". Forcing it to turn off by holding the power button doesn't work as well.

I was scared of root so I tried removing it since it was rooted when I got it, but now here I am :crying::crying::crying: please help.
Thank you very much.
Try power button + Volume down for up to 10 seconds.....should shutdown and reboot after a few seconds of shutdown
(Meaning, it will shutdown and appear to just be off.....but it will actually start to reboot after a few seconds of nothing.....so be prepared/ready to do the button mash to boot to recovery......it will vibrate once as it begins to boot again....
*****edit.....
Sorry I'm in the wrong thread (different phone), but its possible you need to press and hold power plus volume up/or volume down.
Best of luck
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Thank you for the suggestion, but sadly for me it doesn't work. My phone doesn't shutdown at all and is just in this perpetual charging state even after holding the power button for 30 seconds.

Which rom version are you on? You need to boot into fastboot mode abs flash the same stock boot img. I may well have it to hand in my cloud folder. Lemme know the version, hopefully all will be well again

Is the rom like the OS version? I'm not sure but I have this RAW file in my pc. My uncle said to leave it here just in case, it's called "WW_ZS660KL_16.0631.1910.35_M3.13.33.30". I also have this "root&bootstockww191035.zip" file so maybe the 191035 is my OS version? If I remember correctly he said the phone is chinese and he had to do stuff to make it english.
It's either that or Android 9.0.

Oh, you need to be quite sure as the boot img needs to match the rom. When it was rooted do you remember ever updating it? I should have 1910.35 boot img hopefully, I'll check in a mo

I've never gotten to update it, I see other people have android 10 and such but mine doesn't see the update so I just left it be. Should be the same as when I got it.

Here's the link for both root and stock boot img's 1910.35_root and stock_imgs
Are you ok with the process or do you need guidance?

I'm not very familiar with how it works, if it's okay I would be glad to be guided.

Hey man, hope you got to rest well! Here with just a fair bit of inquiry.
So, today I've tried looking for guides on sideloading. Got my phone to bootloader as well by depleting the battery then charging it up to be able to boot into bootloader.
I got my phone then to fastboot using the adb method, my device was recognized in the adb devices command as well. The problem is, fastboot devices don't show up any results. I'm scared to worsen the problem so I didn't continue past this point.
I could see my device in the device manager as well.
Am I on the right track?

Hey dude, so sorry for the late reply, so damn tired!! You may well now be aware of some of this etc but I'll post any way so it's all there...
1. Download and install Minimal ADB and Fastboot app (windows). Install it on your PC to root of C drive
2. Download the root&bootstockww191035.zip and extract it to the Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot) from here
3. Boot into fastboot mode ( from powered off, hold volume up then press and hold power button. Fastboot mode is the 1st screen you come across, the one with the options to Start, boot to recovery, etc...)
4. Still in fastboot mode, connect phone to pc using side port on phone.
5. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot and double click cmd-here.exe
6. Check your device is recognised in fastboot mode by the pc/laptop by typing 'fastboot devices' in cmd window. If it is recognised you will see a string of numbers and/or letters.
7. Type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' in cmd window.
That's it, you should now have the correct boot img for your device flashed and hopefully it'll boot up again.
Good luck

Thanks for the time man, hopefully it does work.
Edit: IT WORKS!
Had a few hiccups which was fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting the cable after going into fastboot.
THANK YOU!
Seriously, THANK YOU!
Please have a good rest, and take care!
