Soft bricked phone? Can't install recovery and can't install a rom

Okay so I got my oneplus 3t today and I updated it to Nougat via the ota file all good so far. I then decided that I wanted to install a custom rom so I downloaded twrp supersu etc everything needed to root and install the rom. Here's where it went wrong in knowingly I downloaded the wrong twrp flashed it and it would just hang at the flash screen for twrp. Anyway after hours of trying to install a recovery I managed to get a stock one to semi work, now it turns out I don't know how I did it but my phone won't even boot it just turns on and goes straight to fastboot mode. I managed to get a stock recovery semi working but it won't let me install the stock rom from internal storage and I've tried updating through adb and it will hang at a random percentage for a good 20 mins and then just fail. Really need some help here it would be great, thanks

Hi,
If you can get into fastboot mode then the best recourse is through there. Hope you properly OEM unlocked your device.
First of all, you MUST have the latest adb/fastboot binaries and FOR SURE have the correct drivers.
Follow the links on this XDA article to download the latest adb and fastboot binaries: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-releases-separate-adb-and-fastboot-binary-downloads
This is the link for the Windows binary: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
Extract all the contents of the zip file in a folder on your PC.
Then, also make sure to have THE CORRECT twrp, 3.0.2.0 or 3.0.3.0. This is the link but currently it is down: https://twrp.me/devices/oneplus3t.html
Download THE IMAGE, NOT FLASHABLE ZIP and put it in the same folder as the android platform tools above.
Finally, download the latest complete 3T firmware from OnePlus from this link: http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-3t/
I STRONGLY recommend not to use an update zip, even a full ROM update zip as that one might not include certain firmware images.
Put THE ZIP on the same folder as the others, DO NOT EXTRACT ANYTHING.
On your PC, open a command prompt in the folder where you extracted the android platform tools and run the following: fastboot boot twrp-3.0.3-0-oneplus3t.img (assuming you downloaded the 3.0.3 version of twrp).
Your phone will TEMPORARILY accept the twrp recovery as a boot image and boot from there. NOTHING IS BEING PERMANENTLY WRITTEN AT THIS TIME.
After that, enter TWRP's Wipe menu and wipe system, data and cache.
Finally, use TWRP's Advanced menu and enter adb sideload mode. Once there slide that slider to the right to enable adb mode and return to your PC and enter the following command in the command prompt:
adb sideload OnePlus3TOxygen_28_OTA_029_all_1612131737_17e7161d2b234949.zip (assuming you downloaded the 3.5.4 binary from OnePlus).
TWRP should properly flash the OnePlus ROM and hopefully, return you to proper function. You can then update back to Nougat.
Hope that helped!

Yeah that sorted it thanks a lot

Once I do "fastboot boot twrp" and get a success, then what?
Do I need to somehow reboot the phone into TWRP - because that didn't happen on its own.
If so, how do I do this?
Thanks,

My instructions while detailed are not step-by-step. I expect the person reading them to have their PC configured correctly and at least a vague idea of what they're doing.
So, assuming you put the correct TWRP image (my command uses the name of the image for TWRP 3.0.3.0, you MUST alter it to reflect the actual image's filename if it's not that) on the same folder as the fastboot binary then yeah, the command
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.3-0-oneplus3t.img
should have made your phone reboot and enter into the TWRP image that you had on your PC.
If it didn't then you did sth else wrong before that.
Either you didn't OEM unlock your phone when you still could or you didn't use the android platform tools that I linked or you don't have the correct ADB drivers installed on your PC.
Start from there.
Hope that helped!

Thanks for your help @KeyperOS - I know where I went wrong...
To save some time, when I tried to reboot into TWRP, I typed "fastboot boot " then I dragged and dropped the TWRP img file onto that line in the cmd window (rather than typing the filename manually) - when you do that, it appears to include the full path to the img - it was that that was causing the problem.
When I typed the TWRP filename manually, it worked.
The only thing that caught me out was after I'd installed the ROM (via adb sideload) I tried to reboot the device from TWRP recovery - this seemed to just hang. In the end I just powered off the phone using the power key, then powered it back up as per usual.
Checked that the phone booted to the first of the setup screens, then powered off/booted into fastboot mode, relocked the bootloader and it seems to be OK.
I'm now back on 3.5.4 again, which was what I was trying to do...
4.0.0/1 had felt a bit laggy, and I'd sensed some issues with wifi and BT, I can now run 3.5.4 and see how it compares - was I just imagining it?
Thanks again for the guide and your help - I really appreciated it

@PugRallye
Windows' command prompt has an autocomplete feature. If you want it to add the name of a file, type a couple letters and then present TAB, it's gonna complete the filename itself and if it's the wrong file you can keep tapping tab to cycle through all the options.
Really glad it worked out Btw [emoji4]
In my experience, 3.5.4 was great but 4.0 is a step up in both battery life, which IME is amazing and features, with it I almost didn't need root and certainly don't need xposed which was a first.

BLU R2 LTE??? unlock/rootable?

I picked up a BLU R2 LTE (16g/2GB version) for dirt, Build: BLU_R0170WW_V7.0.04.01. Is it even remotely possible to unlock and root this thing or am I stuck with a bone stock android?

Thanks. Looks like I have plans for NYE

I managed to root the phone by unlocking the bootloader with fastboot, then using Magisk in conjunction with the boot image file dumped by ipdev in this post.
Unlock your bootloader by running
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Copy the blur2-boot.img file available here to your phone.
Install Magisk Manager, then generate a patched version of the blur2-boot.img file using the app.
Copy the patched version back to your computer and flash it to the boot partition with
Code:
fastboot flash boot /path/to/patched_boot.img
After this you should have root via the Magisk Manager app.

You would be better off to patch my boot image and fastboot boot it.
Then backup your boot image, patch it with magisk, and flash that one back to the device.
Code:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/blur2-boot.img"
This keeps things clean, just incase you are using a boot image that is different from your own device. Plus you have a "stock" boot image backup if you ever need it.
Not a bad idea to grab recovery also.
Code:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/blur2-recovery.img"

Does it matter if I get the 1gb ram/16gb flash or 2gb ram/32gb flash, or will this work on both? I was planing on ordering this one. Thanks!

Hi there, am trying to root this phone also. Stumbled upon your thread and had a question. If I take the 3 image files (recovery, boot, system) that are included at mediafire site (that you included in your post) and replace the same 3 image files in stock rom, would that work to root the phone? Thank you for any help, I've tried kingoroot, kingroot, and framaroot to no avail.

Read back few post on this thread. They discuss successful root method.
Basically unlock bootloader and use majisk manager to patch boot.img and flash patched image with fastboot.

Hi there, I recently got a Blu R2 Plus and am aiming to root. I used the boot-sign.img that came with that ROM version in title (9447 KB) when patching with Majisk Manager and came up with a patched file of 9.57 MB size. Is there a way to test this ROM, or can you verify that is the same sizes you dealt with when you went through this process. Thank you for any information. It took me a while and a factory reset before I could get majisk manager installed to patch the correct boot-sign.img file.

Hi There copy img file to where on phone
To where do I copy the image file on the phone that gets "patched" by Majisk?
"Copy the blur2-boot.img file available here to your phone."
Thank you very much,

If I understand correctly.
You have adb and fastboot installed.
You have a boot image that works for your device and tested it by using fastboot to boot it. let's call it working_boot.img
You have MagiskManager installed.
The next steps:
adb push working_boot.img /sdcard Doesn't really matter where you put it.
Open MagiskManager
Tap on Install
Select Install
Select Patch Boot Image File
Tap on Internal storage Note: If Internal storage is not displayed. Tap on the 3-dot menu (upper right corner) and select Show SD card.
Scroll down and tap on working_boot.img
When Magisk is done patching the image file, select CLOSE
You can close MagiskManager as well.
adb pull /sdcard/magiskmanager/patched_boot.img
Reboot to bootloader and fastboot boot patched_boot.img
Open MagiskManager. You should see that Magisk is installed and active.
Now that you have temporary root, you have some options.
The easiest way would be to open MagiskManager and use the Direct install option. This will pull, patch and install a patched boot.img to the device.
Unless the the original working_boot.img used is the correct one for your device.
The safer way, pull the stock_boot.img I normally grab recovery also from the device.
For BLU R2 LTE
Code:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/BLUR2-boot.img"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/BLUR2-recovery.img"
adb pull /sdcard/BLUR2-boot.img
adb pull /sdcard/BLUR2-recovery.img
Then patch it and fastboot boot it to make sure it works.
After that you can either use MagiskManager Direct install or fastboot to flash the new patched_boot.img.

Bricked my device, used SP Flash Tool to update - Now no OTA?
I hope this is on topic enough to not start a new thread and dirty up the R1 forum
I ended up bricking my Blu R2 LTE by messing with a core APK causing it to boot loop. I didn't have a backup, so I had to resort to using SP Flash Tool to flash back to the only stock rom I could find online. Linked from the post here: www[.]getdroidtips[.]com/nougat-firmware-blu-r2-lte/
The reflash went just fine, but now I noticed I seem to be "stuck" at the January patch level / v01 build, and I'd like to bring it back up to the latest build and use the latest dump you provided w/ Magisk to re-root it again. I've tried all the tricks to get it to try to discover the updates, but nothing is working. It's been about 5 days now with no update offered.
Any idea how I can get it to either accept new OTA releases or where I could find a newer stock rom to reflash?
Thanks for your great work!

Just got this phone and should have checked the mediafire link posted by ipdev. -_- Does anyone still have a copy or willing to share a link for me to get it or another method, theres really not much when it comes to this model. I would greatly appreciate it. Must have root to use a blu.

These links do not work? Link Direct download links are from MediaFire. Click on the name of the file.
I try to use direct download links from MediaFire. There servers can normally handle it. You do not have to navigate ads and redirects with direct download links.

[ROOT] EU LMV405EBW - Magisk

I couldn't find any guide for rooting the V40, so I thought I'd write down the steps I took to root my new EUR V40 - LMV405EBW. Maybe it will help others. Sorry if this is somewhat confusing, I didn't have time to make a polished version. It's basically made from my notes during the process with the commands copied from bash history.
-First, unlock the bootloader following LG's instructions here: https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
There's no TWRP for the V40 and the one made for G7 doesn't work. I don't have the time and knowledge to even attempt to compile TWRP for the V40, so I proceeded with just patching an original boot image with Magisk.
You can get the patched boot images that I used from here:
Oreo 10e: boot_a_magisk_patched_10e.img
Oreo 20f: boot_a_magisk_patched_10f.img
Pie 20a: boot_a_magisk_patched_20a.img
Pie 20b: boot_a_magisk_patched_20b.img
Pie 20f: boot_a_magisk_patched_20f.img
Pie 20g: boot_a_magisk_patched_20g.img
Q 30b: boot_a_magisk_patched_30b.img (this requires flashing to the active boot partition).
Q 30c: boot_a_magisk_patched_30c.img (this requires flashing to the active boot partition)
Q 30d: boot_a_magisk_patched_30d.image (this may or may not work with "fastboot boot" and could require flashing to the active boot partition. I haven't tested if live boot still works. I just did fastboot flash boot_x img_file).
You can try to boot it with with fastboot if you have a LNV405EBW and skip the KDZ extraction part.
Installing Magisk:
Flashing this image isn't necessary, just straight boot should be sufficient and safe.
First install Magisk Manager 7 on the phone then connect the phone to the PC and run:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot boot_a_magisk_patched_10e.img
After the phone boots the OS with the external boot image, open Magisk Manager and tap on Install. Select the option to Direct install to the active slot. I played it safe and decided to NOT flash also on the inactive slot. I've left it alone so I can use it in case of need of recovery.
You'll probably notice that you don't have a connection to the carrier. Just ignore it, it will back once the phone is booted normally.
Reboot and you will have permanent root until you switch the A/B slots.
In case my patched boot image doesn't work, you can just make your own.
Tools needed:
Magisk Manager 7.0.0 installed on the phone
LG Bridge installed on a Windows machine.
a Linux machine or VM (I used the latest ubuntu desktop), python3 with the zstandard module installed and kdztools from steadfasterX's repo. Maybe kdztools would work on Windows too, I haven't tried it.
adb, fastboot
You need to procure an original ROM file for your phone model. It can be downloaded easily with LG Bridge. Just connect the phone to a Windows PC, start LG bridge, go to the Software update tab and click on Update error recovery. Wait for the download to start and disconnect the phone. Ignore LG Bridge complains about not being able to flash after the downloading stage is completed. Don't click anything in Bridge and before closing it go to C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\LG Electronics\LG Bridge\SWUpgrade and copy your KDZ somewhere else. Preferably send it to the Linux VM to the LG work folder, it'll be needed there.
On Linux open a terminal:
Code:
cd ~/Documents
mkdir LG
cd LG
git clone https://github.com/steadfasterX/kdztools.git
cd kdztools
nano undz.py -c
For kdztools to be able to extract the V40 images, I needed to edit undz.py and comment the lines 88-90. So, this block should all be commented or undz will fail to extract the boot partitions.
Code:
#if len(dz_item['pad']) != 0:
# print("[!] Error: pad is not empty", file=sys.stderr)
# sys.exit(1)
To extract, with the KDZ copied to ~/Documents/LG/
Code:
cd ~/Documents/LG/kdztools
./unkdz.py -f ../V405EBW10e_00_OPEN_EU_DS_OP_0109.kdz -x
cd kdzextracted/
List the partitions contents and look for the IDs of boot_a and/or boot_b. In my case they were 44 for boot_a and 63 for boot_b
Code:
../undz.py -f V40510e_00.dz -l
Extract boot_a or boot_b or both, they're identical:
Code:
../undz.py -f V40510e_00.dz -s 44
../undz.py -f V40510e_00.dz -s 63
You can find the extracted boot images in the dzextracted subfolder. Get boot_a.image or boot_b.image or both from there and send them to the phone in a location accessible by Magisk Manager. The Download folder should do fine.
Open Magisk Manager and tap Install, select Patch Boot Image file and patch the image file(s) you extracted. Get the patched_boot.img that Magisk Manager saves in the Download folder and send it to a PC where you have adb and fastboot.
Go to the beginning of the post to the Installing Magisk section.

Damned tempting, but I'll wait until after Pie drops.

Glad to see this, hopefully it's a start for all of us.

If anything, at least a way to unlock the bootloader via legitimate channels! Gonna be generating that string, next chance I get, to be ready.

Once runningnak3d gets a hold of this, we should be good with the v40. Cool beans.

Hey do the unlock codes online work for $ 12-15 on sprint? I used to flash phones back in the day and got a great deal on a bad IMEI sprint lg v40, but so far I can see there isn’t a way yet. On top off all that I m in Europe and don’t want to get the error message that I m out of the Region. I would have to go to USA just to unlock the phone.

@runningnak3d

Can't I install the firmware on a different device?

V version can not unlock BL, so envious

Getting a boot image like that works but I find it stupid to not upload it so that the others don't have to do it. Besides only one model can be bl unlocked so there won't be any model mismatch (except firmware versions but keeping up with them is not that hard)

I recommend labeling the boot images with their firmware since future firmwares won't be able to run the same boot image but other than that I'm really sorry.

I mentioned in the description 1 line below the link that it's for 10e. There was no other update in a long time. I don't think there can be any confusion for now. I can edit and label the file when there's will be another fw update.

It looks like unlocking the bootloader breaks Widevine L1 on the V40 and downgrades is to L3. No more HD or UHD Netflix.
I couldn't find any other solution than to re-lock the bootloader to restore L1.
This doesn't happen on the V30.

@DLS123
Thank you for all!
I ask you for more details; i'm stuck at flashing first image in adb; it returns an error; have LMV405EBW with 10f. unlocked bootloader of course
Thx again for your support!

@daphix what do you mean by flashing the first image? You're not supposed to flash my patched boot image. Just boot it without flashing and Direct install Magisk from it with Magisk Manager.

Thx for answer; i not have too much experience in working with Magisk;
i just folowed your steps:
First install Magisk Manager 7 on the phone then connect the phone to the PC and run:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot patched_boot_a.img
when i run fastboot comand for flash, is runing, but is returning "an error at line x"
i suppose is something wrong in this instructions.

Anyway; understand now what to do;
Steps are below:
- first install magisk manager
- download magisk zip from magisk site or from magisk manager himself on phone
- download patched_boot_a.img to phone from our good contributor
- use magisk manager and select inslall image of patched_boot_a.img from phone
- magisk manager will generate a magisk patched image
- transfer this magisk patched image (not patched_boot_a.img) to pc in ADB folder
- flash with Adb this magisk patched image from pc to phone.
Thx to our friend!

@daphix
Whatver you're trying to do, is nowhere in the procedure I used. If you already booted with my boot image why are you making another boot image with Magisk and why are you trying to flash that? I never wrote anything of the sort.
if you booted with my patched image you already have temporary root and can use Magisk Manager to Direct install Magisk itself.

[GUIDE][REDMI 7A] Root with Magisk on Miui 11.0.7 Global

Well, a lot of people wanting to root global miui 11.0.7 and not being able to... So I did it on my Global redmi 7a - MIUI 11.0.7 Global.
Simple though. Apart from whats being said, u can update Magisk to v20.+ after flashing
the 19 version, through the app Magisk Manager automatically installed after flashing.
Prerequisites & Downloads:
- Your bootloader must be unlocked (https://en.miui.com/unlock/)
- ADB and Fastboot -> I did on windows version, maybe can be done on linux...
- patched boot.img for miui 11.0.7 global
- vbmeta.img
- Magisk v19.3 zip -> place it on the root of your external sdcard
This is basically copied from cg730620's post [Guide][Redmi 7A] TWRP, Root with Magisk, Custom ROM [GSI][Pie] and Avedroid's vid
1 - Unlock bootloader and flash stock miui 11.0.7 recovery rom, using miflash 2017
CAREFUL! On the lower right corner check the first option, "clean all", or you may end up with a locked bootloader.
-> exactly the same from the quoted post from now on, what differs is the files and we are only flashing magisk v19.3
"2. Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot
3. Rename patched boot file to boot.img
4. Rename custom recovery file to recovery.img
5. Place boot.img, recovery.img, vbmeta.img in Program Files (x86)/Minimal ADB and Fastboot/ folder
6. Turn off your phone.
7. Reboot phone to fastboot mode by holding Volume-down button while pressing On/Off-button. You know you are in fastboot mode when you see a cartoon bunny.
8. Connect the phone to your PC via USB.
9. On your PC open command prompt and nagivate to ADB folder, or open command prompt window directly from right-click menu in ADB folder; just right-click on empty space and choose 'Open command prompt here'
10. In command prompt, enter the following commands:
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
11. Now reboot to recovery: Press Volume-Up button on your phone and enter the following in command prompt:
or just turn off the phone and reboot by holding Volume-Up and On/Off button (release On/Off when phone turns on, keep holding Volume-Up until you see screen of TWRP recovery)
12. Swipe to allow modifications. If TWRP asks for PIN, enter the PIN code you set for your unlock screen.
13. In TWRP choose Wipe > Advanced Wipe. Select 'Dalvik / ART cache', 'System', 'Data', 'Cache'. Then Swipe to Wipe.
18. In TWRP choose Install. Select the Magisk zip-file on your phone and then Swipe to confirm flash.
Reboot to system, open Magisk, update and there u go.
Same steps of the beginning of Avedroid's video, only with modified boot.img and Magisk Version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSs08O6uGVI&t=324s
After 16:30 of the video he flashes a custom gsi rom which is not of the interest of this thread, just flash magisk.
Thanks to all who made it possible, especially Avedroid and cg730620
Post questions and answers here, please, NOT in PM.
Good luck!

Thank's it's work fine on custom gsi too, i just flash patch boot, vbmeta, finally install magisk success

I did everything right, however, when it came to installing Magisk, the following error occurred: "Updater process ended with ERROR: 1".
So I redid the whole process, but before installing Magisk I did the following: I went to Mount, I deselected the System partition and after that the installation proceeded normally.
Well, I don’t know if this is the best way to fix this problem, I don’t understand much of these things, but it ended up working for me.
Thanks for the post
I will do some tests to see if everything is working.

Download patched boot.img for ur rom instead of 11.0.7 boot.img I uploaded. Or patch it yourself.

I have a problem. Everytime I do the wipe it says only: "Failed to mount "vendor"(invalid argument)"

Everything works fine, exept password. When i set new password, let's say it is 1234, i set the password in the setting, then i press the power button for lock screen, i put the password in as usual, but it just says try again over and over, im pretty sure that it is not my fault.

I wish to obtain root / access to magisk,
Wanting to know if I can do this without losing data (having to delete system data)
Thank you

Hello.
So I was trying to root my Redmi 7A - v10.2.1 with TWRP 3.3.1 but now I am stuck in a bootloop.
What I did:
1. Flash boot.img
2. Flash recovery.img
3. Flash vbmeta.img
4. reboot
Phone rebooted to system and TWRP was installed.
Then I booted to TWRP to install Magisk-v23.0.zip,
I went to Advanced Wipe, then wiped 'Dalvik / ART cache', 'System', 'Data', 'Cache'.
When I rebooted, it went into a bootloop, when I go to TWRP it says 'No OS INSTALLED".
What did I do wrong? And how to recover?
Thanks.

Im also getting the same error,, but what do you mean by "deselected the System partition". I see "system_root" in Mount but not "System"
