Halp with possibly bricked 3T - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

I've got a rooted 3T, not decrypted and running stock Nougat 7.01something.
Been stable for months.
Went to bed last night w/battery slightly under 50%, woke up to find the screen off.
I thought the battery might've died overnight, but it's been plugged into the dash charge for 45 minutes and is still entirely nonresponsive: screen off, no notification/charge light, power button does nothing...
I'm currently travelling, so don't have my normal computer w/adb and all the drivers & utilities.
I only have a chromebook on me, though I may be able to borrow someone's PC later.
PLEASE ADVISE!
Thanks in advance, for any troubleshooting or repair help you can provide.

Sorry if I was late, but just press power button for about 40 seconds. It should power up. And you are good to go.

For future reference, folks on forums.oneplus.net helped me resolve the problem.
People suggested
1. Try to boot into recovery mode(Volume Down + Power keys)
2. Try to boot into fastboot mode(Volume Up + Power keys)

and
- if you feel vibration but don't see anything, screen might be dead.
- if you don't feel anything and it's still dead. ask for an RMA

The phone vibrated with both combinations.
Not sure what that did, but later, when I plugged it into a power source, the red light came on to indicate the battery was totally drained.
After it charged up, it seemed to work fine.

Bricked Touchpad need help

NOTE - I added this post here thinking the CM9 experts could help. I then realized it should be in the Q&A section. If this does not belong here, I ask a moderator to please delete it.
I have been running CM9 nighties for some time now with no issues on my 16GB US WiFi only Touchpad. I installed TWRP and after some time decided to remove it and just use CWM. After trying several things from the posts (which would not work) I decided to remove CM9 completely then reinstall. This is where I got into trouble...
I loaded all necessary CM9 files in the cminstall folder on the Touchpad. I successfully ran ACMEUninstaller and got back to the WebOS language selection (i.e. the initial WebOS screen from factory). Instead of logging into WebOs (felt there was no-need since I never use it), I put the unit in Download mode (vol down + power). I then ran ACMEInstaller2. I received an error (text on the black touchpad screen which I assume is the bootloader) saying the needed files were not installed and something like "remove the wall". I thought I would reboot the unit and now log into WebOS and reinstall the CM9 files (thinking I made a typo when loading them). Now I cannot get the Touchpad to reboot - totally black and even when connected to the PC I dont get the USB connection sound.
Does anyone know if there is a hardware method to bring the unit back (maybe a different sequence of button presses or shorting a pin on the USB connector)? I have tried home+vol up+power, home+vol down + power, home + power, and of course power only and home only. Each combination was held for 30 seconds and then again for a minute and with power connected, PC connected, and nothing connected to the USB port.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Resolution: In a post I saw dated May of 2012, the user indicated HP was still honoring their warranty. I contacted HP via their Chat service, after giving them my model and serial number, I was told I had three weeks remaining on my warranty. HP sent me the return box with authorization and in a week I received (what seems to be) my exact Touchpad... only now it booted just fine. I have since reinstalled ICS and am running fine. Thanks to all who responded. I wanted to share this as I am extremely impressed with HP's warranty service (no questions were asked if I had rooted the device, where I bought the device, etc).
I remember this happened on my brothers and what it was is that the battery was completely dead. I believe it has a backup that needs to charge before the main one. That's the only time I have personally seen this happen. Perhaps if you leave it on the charger for a while it will boot and u can use web os doctor to get it to stock.

Thanks, I let it charge all night then tried it this morning (as described not just powering it on). Of course, with only a black screen I can't tell what the charge is. I have checked the cable and am now using a different power supply in case that had failed. I think because this happened during the removal/install process I scrogged something in the bootloader?

It's a good idea to use only stock cable and charger.

This happened once to my TP when I first put CM7 on the device a while back. I woke up one morning, forgot to plug it in overnight and it had died. No response to any charger, I was getting worried but then I found a solution. With it plugged in, hold the power button and home button down together for 15 to 30 seconds. It was that or hold the power button down and keep pressing the home key over and over. Not 100% sure, but it came back to life and I remember it took me a couple tries. Try holding both down simultaneously for 30 seconds or a minute, if that doesn't work, push and hold power first then home right after and hold both for 30 seconds.
Okay.... hard reset has been a life saver for me. Hold the home button down, then press and hold the power button, so you will be pressing them at the same time. Keep holding them till you see the HP splash screen, it may take a few min and seem like nothing is happening. I thought I fried mine the first day I got it, but this worked for me!
Good luck!
And, if you decide that does not work for you there is such a thing as the WebOS doctor which will get you back to stock. Link here: http://en.m.webos-internals.org/wiki/How_To_Recover?wasRedirected=true

Nope... As stated in the OP, "I have tried home+vol up+power, home+vol down + power, home + power, and of course power only and home only. Each combination was held for 30 seconds and then again for a minute and with power connected, PC connected, and nothing connected to the USB port."
I need to know if ACME Installer is doing anything in the Bootloader. I have flashed and reflashed CM7, CM9, and multiple ROMs. Even uninstalled CM all together when I went from CM7 to CM9. I am familiar with getting into Download Mode and the hard reset (which apparently isn't solving this issue).
I appreciate the feedback, just hoping someone familiar with the Bootloader and Touchpad partitions can help out.

If the battery was low when you got into this state then it could be that there is not enough power to even let the charging circuits work properly. WebOS has better protection against getting into this fix.
I experienced this once and the trick that fixed it for me was to connect the standard micro USB to the Touchpad and use the standard HP charger unit. Then repeatedly remove the big USB from the charger, wait about 5 seconds then plug it in, wait about 10 seconds and repeat the cycle. After about twenty goes I was rewarded with the battery low icon and it started charging again. I think the theory behind this trick is that when you first plug the power in the battery gets a bit of charge before the circuits kick in, detect very low battery and stop the charging cycle. Doing it enough times gets enough charge into the battery to kick start proper charging.
Now I am not saying this will fix your problem but it might be worth giving it a go.
To prevent myself ever getting into this state again indavertently I now have Tasker set up to shutdown the whole device if the battery level drops below 8%.

To prevent myself or more importantly my daughters tablet ever having this problem I have now purchased Tasker as recommend by yourself and others. But cannot yet figure out how to setup an automatic shutdown, if you have the time could you possibly advise how to do it . I have read the guide but am struggling any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

In Tasker add a New profile and give it a name like Battery_Low
Choose State and then Power for the profile.
In Power choose Battery level and set From to 0 and To to say 8%
Set New Task and do Add give it a name like Shutdown and then pick the Misc category
Choose Reboot and set Reboot type to Shutdown
All done. When battery level drops to 8% or below then Tasker will shut the tablet down. Note it will do this without warning. I think one could probably arrange a pop up warning first but I preferred to keep it simple.

I have tried this since your post - thanks. No luck, but will continue to try. I found a post online with disassembly instructions. I think I may try pulling the battery. Looks rather easy... with the right tools.

The only way I know is to put it on a Touchstone and after an hour or so it Will come back to life. All thanks to Reverand KYLE. His site is well worth checking out.

[Q] Help WITH Hard BRICK!!

I need help! None of the buttons work, led doesn't light up. Screen is off. Cannot boot at all even with the simulated battery pull. Is there anyway I can get it booted up to recovery or accept ADB commands? I came from samsung phones and they had those 300ohm jigs you could use.

Leave it plugged in for 20 mins to the wall charger. See if you get a charging LED after 20 or so minutes.

Thanks, trying it now, although the battery was almost at full charge when the system crashed (was transferring some files). Nothing has lit up since (10 mins or so) but i'll give you another update soon.

Not good. Only options right now is to hold volume down and power or just holding down the power button. If the led doesn't come on and holding the power button for 20 seconds does not result in blinking lights at the bottom I think you might have really hard bricked that thing. Congratulations are in order as that is quite a accomplishment without s-off. On the plus side you shouldn't have any problems getting it replaced.
And at this time there is not a way revive the ONE.

My Nexus 6 won't turn on anymore, help please!

Hi guys,
Here's my (huge problem): my Nexus 6 won't turn on anymore. I was at a friend's last night, it was on and functional. Then I pick it up and it's off. Odd I think, I try to turn it on, nothing. I try to turn it on while holding the power button for a while, still nothing. I try powering it on to access the bootloader (power + vol down), still nothing. All I could see was a faint red light right next to the top speaker (on the left, weird but it seems to be the proximity sensor) that turns on for like a second when I hold the power button for a while.
If I connect it to my PC, I get a Windows notification saying the driver for this device cannot be installed (so it's detecting it somehow). I let it charge overnight but I don't know if it did (although I waited for a bit and it did get warm while connected to the Moto turbo charger). The Nexus toolkit doesn't see it if I try an "adb devices" command.
I've tried all the steps on Google's help page and also from this thread but it still won't power on. I don't know what to do anymore at this point. It was fully functional, no hard/soft brick of any kind.
Fyi, it is rooted, the bootloader is unlocked and I was running Chroma with ElementalX kernel. Please helps guys! :crying::crying:
Have you tried plugging it in to your computer and looking in devices? tried another charger?
@XDAcube, yes I did: I tried my friend's charger last night and my PC as well. Like I said, when I connect it to my PC, I get a Windows notification saying the driver for this device cannot be installed and that's it.

Usually the red LED means your battery is dead. Charge it for an hour or two then try again.
@Face_Plant, I charged it overnight. It seemed to have worked because it was getting warm on the back (as usual) but I can't tell for sure since it doesn't turn on at all.

Well, I ended up sending it back for repair (it's still under warranty). They replaced the motherboard, battery and back cover, for free of course!
I did lose all my recent data but it couldn't be helped in that case. You might need to RMA yours as well...
when i first received my Nexus6 out of box, it was dead didnt turn on etc. i was freakin out that it might be a total defect device.
but it came with 0% charged i guess? and only after pluggin it into the chargin cable i managed to power it on,
did everyone else's nexus 6 came with 0% charged? or was it only me

it was basically dead out of box, unopened box eveyrhitng in place and sealed and the phone itself had the pre intsalled screen film on, i had to plug it to the wall until after 2minutes then i could turn the thing on :/
I would try to charge the phone using the wireless charger to see what will happen.

Battery Death

Hello,
Well, My XT1069 just died last night, 01/22/2016, it's simply dead. no display, no charging, no led blink, nothing.
I was watching stream on twitch.tv, And then he fell asleep, the phone continued to operate the rest of the night and discharged to zero percent.
It is known that state when the battery dies, and is at zero percent, unable to load. this has happened to me 2 or 3 times .. and after some minutes charging, and some secs holding power button, it came back to life..
but this time does not happen anything.
believe me, I have researched a lot in various forums, I've tried holding the power button, voldown, hold on for 18sec, 2min and 5min up, nothing works.
I saw on some pages to leave the device in the charger for 24 hours could perhaps resurrects it. it is in the charger since 01/23/2016 6 am, with a few breaks when I retire and try something new. only a matter of minutes
in short: my phone died, no sign of life.
I would please ask if anyone here had this critical case like mine, and also ask if anyone has any tips I can test to try to bring my cell phone back to life. Thank you very much in advance.
I apologize for the English, I am Brazilian. most of it is google translator
Anyone?
Cell still on charger, but probably nothing is going to happen :/
1)Try flashing twrp after that wipe your phone through twrp and then repair system files and reboot.
This will only work if your battery's not dead.
2) about installing twrp search on xda for your device download it , connect the datacable with your computer and then press power+volume up go in download mode flash the recovery through odin
Or if you dont have root try this

As far as i'm concerned it needs a spark(i dont know the exact word for it). it happens when the battery goes completely into discharged state with no spark left in it. It kind of means when your battery is left with no electrons to pass on the current to the battery. so go reach some mobile repairing shop and as them to spark your battery. they have some kind of rod or something with with they will spark the battery and then charge it with a high output. then see if it works or not. if not then your battery is probably dead and you need it to be replaced. its easier for usual phones. but since your's a MOTO G. it has a un-removable back cover. so it'll cost you a bit. hope it helps. :victory:
do thank if it worked out for you.

Thank you very much for the answer.
I've seen elsewhere people talking about that this spark, and in this case, some talked about trying to use a charger Apple Ipad 2.1 Amps, My original motoG charger is only 0.85 amps, so I think maybe an Apple is a good attempt to bring him back .. However, I do not know anyone who has one
At this time, I will have to wait until day 02/11/2016 until I can go into a technical assistance ..
Anyway, enormously grateful to you for the answer

Happy to help. ???? it does the same thing. The apple 2.1 amps may get your battery that spark. But since that spark thing gives your battery a charge of over 2.5 amps i guess. But the charger may help you as well.
And good luck with the battery. :fingers-crossed:

Mix shut off on its own, won't power on.

Got my mix like 1 month ago. Stock miui and recently updated it to 8.5.4.0. No mods or unlocking the bootloader or anything like that.
Today, it was at 11% so I plugged it in the charger. 5 minutes in I looked at it and it wasn't charging, so I unplugged it and then it turned off before I could plug it back in.
Now it won't turn back on, the charging light won't light up. It looks dead.
I haven't dropped it or spilled any liquids on it. It wasn't exposed to extreme heat or cold and has a case around it at all times.
WTF happened? $650 down the drain?
What are some tricks I can do to try to save it.
I had a similar problem a week ago. Battery went dead and I plugged in the charger. But I discovered after an hour that it didn't charge. I tried turning on the phone, only response was a quick flashing red light. Tried different chargers, tried holding down the power button for a long time, tried the different butto combinations, no luck. Then I just left it in the charger, and after several hours I finally got a response from my beloved Mix. I took a long time to fully charge, but now it is working normally again. Phew! No idea what went wrong. But keep trying and hoping. Good luck!
To the original poster:
Has the phone powered on now? The same thing happened to me too.
My Xiaomi Mi Mix showed low battery sign so I plugged it in to charge. The phone immediately went off. I pressed the power button to restart it, it showed the Xiaomi logo then immediately went off and since then (this was 2 days ago) it has not powered on.
Kindly note the following:
1. It didnt have water spilled on it
2. It didnt fall or have any mechanical damage
The only thing was, the battery was low, I plugged it in to charge and it went off and never came on again. I have used the same charger to charge other phones so I doubt if the charger is the source of the problem.
Kindly help, what is wrong with the phone?
thanks

Plug into PC and leave over night, hopefully the third party charger hasn't fried anything.

You could try unplugging battery overnight, watch a tare down first. It's not hard, I would be surprised if you have done any damage.

I havent tried any self repairs or anything funny yet the phone has remained dead.
What can I do now? This is extremely saddening
Mine just did this. My resolve was to hold down the volume up button and then plug the phone in. It should boot into recovery (down for bootloader) and from there reboot into system. I seems for some reason the bootloader is not allowing the phone to charge. You need to get around it.
Happened on mine in the first day. I even thought like why I bought a pos Chinese device. After 30 mins charging, it's started booting by power on button as it's supposed to be. Weird thing.

My Xiaomi Mix won't turn back on
this happened to my xiaomi mix yesterday. I was using it during dinner. Suddenly the screen wouldn't come on, flashed a bit, then shut down. I was able to hard reset it once. After that, the phone just died. and won't come back on. What do I do?
Please note: the battery was almost full. Did not drop it or get water in it.

Battery will need to be unplugged overnight, in the morning plug it back in, it won't boot or charge at this stage, leave on charge for a few hours maybe upto 12 after that it will be fine.

So I'll need to let the phone's battery die first, then full charge it again and it should work again?

No you need to disconnect it, that means removing the cover which is easy, just watch the teardown on YouTube

Thanks so much for the help. I tried that but unfortunately it didn't work. I did feel a slight vibrate when I tried to power it on though.

Do you know if it's a battery issue? Should I replace it with a brand new battery?

I think it's a charging issue, swap charger and cable.
Does pc recognise the phone
Have the same issue. During charging and watching youtube, it turned off. No signal since then.
Changed charger, tried PC... Also disconnected battery and charging for more than 24h.
Now have a new battery and USB board and no signal
Any idea how to get the data from it?
Thanks
