[GUIDE] Mega Unbrick Guide for A Hard Bricked OnePlus 3

[martinezma99]

I'm on Community Build 3.5.2 trying to revert back to 3.2.1

I keep getting the following errors while in MSMDownload Tool Method 2

Sahara communication Failed.
FirehouseCheckRSP Failed

Any suggestions?

MSMDownload Tool Method 1
FirehoseCheckRSap Failed, Errno 258

Please help. I can't restart phone in recovery or bootloader after trying Method 1. Nothing. Plugging phone does not charge either.

What are my options?

Problem solved.

Basically, performed Method 2 on a different computer. No issues.

Pffffffffffffff.
Been working all weekend with all the different guides, tools etc. to unbrick my OP3, the only thing it was booting to is A whole lot of red text about md5 checksums and 3 lines of white text.
Had some spare time today and knew I didn't do 1 guide...

Method 1 didn't work for me, but Method 2 it booted instantly to the boot animation and into system.
Thnx @Naman Bhalla for providing this great tool!!!!

That means the file is corrupt. Download it again.

MsmDownloadTool is not recognising my device

Hello
MsmDownloadTool is not recognising my device. I've installed every drivers mentioned in the post. In my device manager the device is shown as "RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM18) ".
I can access my phone in fastboot mode but it is showing bootloader locked. Also i can access the stock recovery.
I tried method mentioned at official site to install stock rom. It shown installation failed.
Is there any way to unbrick it??
Regards

Hi,
I have OP3 SoftGold, it suddenly turned off. Its not showing anything on screen when charging and Its not booting at all.
I tried both methods mentioned here (mini and full), Windows detected the phone as Qualcomm 9008 without supplied driver and successfully downloaded MSM download tool (both mini and full).
The phone still won't respond to charging and won't turn on.
any help please?

Wow, this thread has become the best thing to ever happen to my phone. Hard bricked it twice in 24 hours and both times resurrected. AMAZING!!
Good thing I didnt believe the the bad advice google searches yielded. Cant thank you enough for making these tools and guide available.

I dont know if there any negative side effects of those bat files included with the drivers, but... I was a little overeager to jump in the first time and didnt read through, so just ran them as admin, turned out ok as far as the patching was concerned. device showed up right away in device manager in win10 x64. lol hope it didnt place anything somewhere it wasnt supposed to be...

If your bootloader is unlocked you can flash TWRP with fastboot.

If you're able to boot into Android and have root you can flash TWRP with FlashFire and avoid fastboot altogether.

Method 2 sucessfully but phone does not turn on

I've try method 1 and method 2, the OP3 is completely dead, it's recognizec by the pc like qualcomm 9008 I've installed drivers propertly, the took recognized the phone, process starts and say in green letters successfully, I've tried many times but phone does not boot at all.
It's my younger brother phone, he says he was flashing cyanogen mod 12 but I've hardly believe that.

I posted some screenshots of the processes

Any idea guys??????

 

[some random user]

Well, this doesn't work for me at all. I tried method two and nothing.

Get the only the Oneplus logo then a black screen. Can't boot to recovery mode and device can't be unlocked from fastboot.
To top it off my pc see my phone under Ports (Com and LPT) as diagnostics 900E (COM3), yet the recovery tool doesn't see it at all.

Any help would be appreciate since this is my daily driver and I really need it to get it fixed.
