My OP3T power button has stopped working. I am going to replace the phone with OnePlus Nord. As the release is nearly 1 week away I have been trying to live with this phone for some time. I keep the phone powered up all the time. But yesterday night I suddenly lost 50% of the battery over night down to 0. So the phone switched off.
Trying to power up the phone I looked up some options online. One of the ways was to plug it in to the charger and use the volume key. As my bootloader is unlocked the volume key took me to the options menu. There I can see all the options - Power Off, Restart, Recovery etc. I can't select any option because the power button is broken. And I can't go back to the main power menu as well.
how do I come out of that menu?
how do I power on the phone?

I left the phone as it is and once the power discharged I could experiment again. And I have tried these things. Writing them down in case people need help:
1. using this method:
https://www.techjunkie.com/how-to-turn-on-and-off-oneplus-3-with-broken-power-button/
But then using the volume down button doesn't do anything for me. The phone boots up and waits on the first screen - which says bootloader is unlocked. And then it goes to the second screen - which says drm-verity error message. And then it goes to the Oneplus Logo and gets stuck. Trying to use the volume down to cancel doesn't work. When I connect the phone to my pc, it gives me error - "usb has malfunctioned". I tried using a friend's Ubuntu just in case of issues with Windows 10. Ubuntu doesn't recognize the phone at all. So that is a no-go.
2. Same method as above instead using the volume up button. The phone doesn't boot up at all and neither it is recognized by the computer.
3. Call up Oneplus support center for button replacement. If you are in Bangalore, India you are out of luck. OP has stopped supplying OP3T parts for over a year now.
I thought there might be a way to get into fastboot mode using just volume keys and then I could do "fastboot reboot". It looks like I am wrong.

Nice find!
Thanks for sharing this info.
So I decided to test the method and found:
- it works just as well with plugging into a computer as into a charger.
- you can take your finger of the volume-down button as soon as you feel the phone buzz and the phone boots into recovery
- if you keep the button pressed until you see the dm-verity screen (on unlocked bootloader) nothing happens until you take your finger off and then it'll reboot into recovery
- it does not work using volume-up, in other words it won't boot into fastboot. In fact trying to do this seems to prevent the volume-down method from working. Having tested volume-up I couldn't get volume-down to work until I had actually booted up (using power button) and then powered off.

Thank you for testing that. I am confused though. On booting up I get two screens followed by the Oneplus logo. The first screen says "phone has been unlocked" and second is the drm-verity screen. Do you see only the drm-verity screen?
When I use the volume down button I get stuck on the Oneplus logo. The phone doesn't boot into recovery. Does that happen when you experimented with the volume up button? I mean if you use volume up first and then tried volume down does it get stuck on the logo?

This is the first screen I get (picture) after volume down, then I end up in TWRP (I'm not using stock recovery). Also, I'm running a custom rom.
I never get any response if I use volume up.

I got the power button fixed from unofficial shop. And the first thing I did was to test the volume button to recovery process. I'm on TWRP but the official OOS Rom. And it still doesn't work. I am stuck on the Oneplus Logo. Next I tried rebooting directly to TWRP using the Reboot app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stephansmolek.reboot&hl=en_IN
And while it takes me to TWRP I am stuck on the TWRP logo screen. On searching I found this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/help/twrp-stuck-splash-screen-t3541037
So, the process works only if the phone can get past the TWRP splash screen.
If not, the phone will get stuck on the OnePlus logo and the only choice is to get it repaired. And repairing will happen at unofficial shops because Oneplus has stopped shipping OP3T parts.

I tried re-installing TWRP and found this:
https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplusthree.html
This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab.

Maybe, the stock kernel is the issue? I am on [email protected] A custom rom might have another kernel? And the process works on stock recovery on stock kernel?

You could use the patched kernel from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/dm-verity-disable-oxygen-os-t3922324/post79357241
Alternatively, if you install Magisk it will automatically patch the kernel.

Just for accuracy: magisk doesn't patch the kernel (would be a bit tough to supply binary positions for each and every single kernel - yes, they differ from build to build - but some files in the boot partition. Droping the tripped verity bit is done by magisk after booting the kernel (that's why magisk will fail on that as soon as the safetynet api starts to use hardware backed checks for bl status - hopefully we can work around that with patched kernel sources).

Hi,
I tried the regular fastboot method to load CWM recovery.
Whenever it got to the point of loading the recovering, it would just say "flashing recovery on the device...".
Then, when restarting bootloader and clicking on "recovery", it would just shut down the phone.
I decided to experiment to try fix the issue, and I came across this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928551
I downloaded the ZIP file and I ran the root.bat
It flashed some boot images and now my phone wont start
It is stuck on the "warning bootloader unlocked screen" and will not go any further.
Please help . I'm so scared that I've bricked my phone. Is there ANYTHING I can do?
Thanks in advance for the help!
The methods u used can't brick your phone
Reboot in boot loader by pressing the power button and volume - button at the same time. Just at the moment the phone shuts-down/reboot release the power button. It will boot in boot loader. After this flash cwm or twrp again and with the volume down button go to recovery. Select recovery with the volume up key and u are done. Cwm/twrp is flashed and will boot in the recovery.
In recovery I would install the ROM from Omar. It will restore your system and boot.IMG so it will work. Don't forget to wipe data.
If this doesn't work flash the home made fast boot files somewhere in the development section

Thanks - I tried that. I do let go of the buttons as soon as it starts to reboot itself, but it doesn't start the bootloader - it still just shows the screen "warning bootloader unlocked". I can not get back into the bootloader

If I hold all 4 buttons, the screen goes blank, and the green light stays on. My PC then finds hardware called "MEDFIELD" but wont find drivers for it.
Does this help at all?

The above applies when connected with usb.

You should let go only of power button and hold vol.down button (at least for me)
If your PC finds hardware - can you do fastboot devices to check whether it is actually recognized properly?
And last thing - which method you used to load recovery (and were you on ICS\JB)? You were rooted and used automated methods or you unlocked bootloader and wanted to root afterwards (manually through fastboot)?

You are a GENIUS!!! A LIFE SAVER!!! I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am. BOTH of your points fixed the phone.
I could never get into recovery becuase I was pressing the power button. I could never get into fastboot becuase I was holding both the power and volume down button.
So, for anyone using a RAZR I... please note the following SIMPLE things:
1) In the bootloader menu, the power button does NOT select the option. The VOL UP button selects the option
2) To boot into BOOTLOADER : Hold both power and vol down buttons until the phone restarts, and then RELEASE the power button, while still HOLDING the volume down button! It will then load the bootloader.
Again, THANKS so so much for reviving my phone for me. I was going crazy without a phone!

This has never happened to me before but don't stress one bit because nothing ever permanently bad comes from this. You can forget about it being destroyed. These aren't iPhones, haha. You can get it going again pretty easy I hear. Just don't stress because there is no point and you WILL get help. Just listen to what these experienced dudes are saying and you should be back on track. Good luck!

UPDATE: Nice! Glad to see you got the help you needed and everything's back on track!
Nice that it is solved. I gave u the solution on my first post, but nice that someone els did a better job in explaining it
There is almost no possibilities to brick your device if u only flash things like the boot, system, recovery or data partition. They can he solved very easy. If u flash the other partitions like the radio u can get a problem.

You are 100% right. I just re-read your post, and noticed that you did mention those 2 points. I must've just read over them really quickly and didn't pay attention to the details of which buttons to press. :angel:
Thanks a ton for your help! Really appreciate it! :highfive:
I absolutely cannot get a recovery to flash. I was running 5.1.1, unencrypted, rooted, twrp, etc. Went to flash the new 3rd M preview and kept getting an error on boot about the phone being corrupt or something. It would still boot and work fine and everything, just had the warning on boot. Tried booting into recovery and I got the alien with exclamation point above it (won't boot into recovery, it doesn't seem to exist). I've tried manually flashing both stock recovery, twrp, whole OTA files from both 5.1.1 and 6... pretty much everything I can think of. It's like the recovery partition just isn't taking the file when it is pushed. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
When you booted into recovery and got to the screen where you saw the android with the exclamation point above it, you did press power+volume up correct?

I think the sequence should be to hold the power button and press and release the vol up then release pwr from the android on his back.
Hello,
after a couple of attempts at installing TWRP recovery, some successful, some not, a ROM reinstall and finally this last factory reset, my Huawei P9 phone is stuck at what appears to be boot or restart loop. It is interesting however that I am unable to turn off the phone at all and it's been like this for an hour. At first, TWRP recovery wouldn't boot but the OS would. Then I did factory reset and phone restarted. Since then it won't boot or turn off. When I hold the power button to turn it off, it vibrates once, then vibrates again and then Huawei logo is displayed. After that a message that says "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted." & "Your device is booting now..." which is normal since I unlocked my phone bootloader, but the problem is that it is just stuck there.
It stays there forever, screen on, phone on, can't restart because it comes back to the same point, can't turn it off since battery is impossible to take out... Any hope? I bought the phone a couple of days ago and this is really bad... Help!
Edit: In case someone else stumbles upon similar situation - after trying everything possible with these 3 buttons I had available (vol+- and power), I have managed to boot by (I THINK) holding the power button for 10 secs but releasing it really fast after the screen turns off and BEFORE the first vibration happens.
Edit 2: Now I have the same problem again and I can't seem to get the right button "combo" to pass the booting phase like I did some hour ago... Any ideas?
Edit 3: It appears that the ROM I have flashed caused problems with TWRP - after I got an SD card, managed to put stock ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818) on it and then did force upgrade, the phone booted successfully.
Step by step:
1) Drained battery to 0% and forced phone to turn off (otherwise it would vibrate twice and get stuck loading TWRP if I tried to turn it off using power button)
2) When I plugged it in and it got some battery power it started, avoided TWRP and regularly booted the OS (which was causing problems with TWRP in my case I think). If you don't have any OS, do not recharge or turn on your phone until you have prepared and put SD card into the phone
3) Downloaded and extracted the dload folder from the P9 stock ROM archive (http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818) to root directory of SD card
4) Unplugged and turned off the phone using OS Shutdown option
5) Turned it on by holding power, volup and voldown buttons together - "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Your device is booting now..." message appeared so I thought it was stuck again and was about to hang myself, but then the OS upgrade started (if it doesn't work right away, try restarting the phone with power, volup and voldown buttons held together again)
6) Upgrade was successful but the phone wouldn't boot without complete factory reset, after which it booted normally. Bootloader was relocked, then I updated to the latest stable EMUI (4.1.1) and life returned to normal.
BUMP
I can access Fastboot&Rescue mode and use abd (but phone is not rooted). Other than that I can't get to repeat what I did when I managed to boot the phone previous time this happened some hours ago... Can anyone post all volume+- and power key combinations which I can try?
Any other ideas more than welcome...
Guys can someone help with this. I'm having the same sort of issues. I have flashed an update and now I have lost touch on the screen. I can't even use twrp because the touch is not working.
Please can someone advise.

After getting an SD card (everything I did so far was using internal storage) and putting stock Huawei P9 ROM on it (Android 6 and EMUI 4), then shutting down (forced by draining battery) and doing force upgrade (vol+ and vol- held after power up) I have managed to (upgrade and) boot my phone and get it back to normal again. If anyone needs more detailed explanation on how I solved this, feel free to ask.
Open bootloader again, i had the same problem few days ago
Yes please vernicht. My touchscreen has stopped responding after flashing an update.app using DC Phoenix.

Can you boot into OS? Please provide more exact details.
How I got out of the TWRP(?) boot loop: I couldn't take out the battery, but I have managed to drain it to 0% by letting the phone stay on for hours thus eventually shutting itself down. After that I have charged it and then powered it up. It didn't attempt to boot TWRP (no loop) but instead booted back the OS. After that I could regularly restart the phone and do all operations without getting stuck in loop, which allowed me to issue force upgrade command using hardware power up/down buttons.
Nope. I manage to flash it with DC Phoenix fully but it just keeps boot looping and going back to the Huawei logo. Then after that if goes into its recovery menu and the only my to use the menus is with the volume keys.

Are you able to put files on your SD card? If yes, you can try putting stock ROM on it and then force force upgrading (hold vol+ and vol- together after power up). It should overwrite everything and boot up.
I have done this but it won't even force flash the stock rom. It gets to 5% and says 'system error'
I followed your suggestion to let the battery drain and then I charged it fully, but when charging it got to 1% and rebooted the phone into eRecovery.
I wish I could get this phone fixed and back to normal.

Did you use this stock ROM for P9 (if it's EVA-L09 like mine) or something else?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818
It worked fine with force upgrade for me, while some other ROMs didn't.
Do you have Wipe cache and data/factory reset options available in eRecovery, did you try that?
I'll try that. The only problem I have is my touchscreen won't respond under eRecovery. I have to use the volume and power key to navigate. Any idea what's happened there?

It will probably return to function after you restore to stock ROM. Until then you can use power button to select items in eRecovery if needed.
Btw I have edited my original first post in this thread with step by step guide on what I did in my case.
Thank you Vernicht for all your help.
I finally manage to get the phone fully working again. I also managed to get it changed from C900 to C432, lock the bootloader and join the beta.
Thank you so much again. It's very much appreciated.

Hi nscxp2005
how did you manage that?
i have the same Problem.
i have done a "Wipe Cache" and a factory reset.
i have copied the "update.app" from PauloBrien zip on a sd card in a folder named dload.
then i have done a Force flash -> it goes to 5% an says Invalid File.

Hi Guys, hope you can help
I have got an P9 EVA-L09 which I tried to update to B378 but failed and now it stuck in a boot loop and won't recover using the phone.
I have tried to download the update mentioned above and doing a forced recovery on the phone Power + VOL+ + VOL- but no luck, gets 5% and fails.
Would like some help please.
Hello, I have the same problem, I tried to install Lineage 14.1 and it didn't work. Then i tried to go back to EMUI 5.0 and i just all fell apart. No i have no android on my P9 (cos i wiped all data and the system through TWRP 3.1.1.1), and now my touchscreen doesn't work. When i try to force install, it blockes on 5%. Anyone have any idea on how to fix it? Thanks

Bricked my P9 while trying to remove branding.

Hello,
after a couple of attempts at installing TWRP recovery, some successful, some not, a ROM reinstall and finally this last factory reset, my Huawei P9 phone is stuck at what appears to be boot or restart loop. It is interesting however that I am unable to turn off the phone at all and it's been like this for an hour. At first, TWRP recovery wouldn't boot but the OS would. Then I did factory reset and phone restarted. Since then it won't boot or turn off. When I hold the power button to turn it off, it vibrates once, then vibrates again and then Huawei logo is displayed. After that a message that says "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted." & "Your device is booting now..." which is normal since I unlocked my phone bootloader, but the problem is that it is just stuck there.
It stays there forever, screen on, phone on, can't restart because it comes back to the same point, can't turn it off since battery is impossible to take out... Any hope? I bought the phone a couple of days ago and this is really bad... Help!
Edit: In case someone else stumbles upon similar situation - after trying everything possible with these 3 buttons I had available (vol+- and power), I have managed to boot by (I THINK) holding the power button for 10 secs but releasing it really fast after the screen turns off and BEFORE the first vibration happens.
Edit 2: Now I have the same problem again and I can't seem to get the right button "combo" to pass the booting phase like I did some hour ago... Any ideas?
Edit 3: It appears that the ROM I have flashed caused problems with TWRP - after I got an SD card, managed to put stock ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818) on it and then did force upgrade, the phone booted successfully.
Step by step:
1) Drained battery to 0% and forced phone to turn off (otherwise it would vibrate twice and get stuck loading TWRP if I tried to turn it off using power button)
2) When I plugged it in and it got some battery power it started, avoided TWRP and regularly booted the OS (which was causing problems with TWRP in my case I think). If you don't have any OS, do not recharge or turn on your phone until you have prepared and put SD card into the phone
3) Downloaded and extracted the dload folder from the P9 stock ROM archive (http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818) to root directory of SD card
4) Unplugged and turned off the phone using OS Shutdown option
5) Turned it on by holding power, volup and voldown buttons together - "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Your device is booting now..." message appeared so I thought it was stuck again and was about to hang myself, but then the OS upgrade started (if it doesn't work right away, try restarting the phone with power, volup and voldown buttons held together again)
6) Upgrade was successful but the phone wouldn't boot without complete factory reset, after which it booted normally. Bootloader was relocked, then I updated to the latest stable EMUI (4.1.1) and life returned to normal.

I have the same issue after flashing the rollback package from the official huawei site. The phone isn't rooted, it just had a branding for some odd reason. So I installed the C432B182 but somehow ended up with a C900B... firmware. So I installed the Rollback package C900B300 using the 3 button method. It said successfull but ever since I've been stuck in the same loop. At the logo. Trying to enter recovery mode (Volume Up + Power) or Force flash any of the firmwares (stock C432.. or rollback C900) doesnt succeed. It wont attempt. Only vibrates as you described and turns the screen off for a second before entering the same loop again.
How did you manage to enter the flash Menu??
Thanks in advance and hope you can help.

Hello!
At me too such problem. When charging to sit at 0% and plug it into the charger, it immediately turns on and goes into the system, then the screen is worth a long logo. I have a phone EVA-L09C627B150.
Help me find my full version! Or I can use this version by reference https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818
Sorry for my English!
Hello everyone, I saw a few posts on this forum about other bricked phones, but my case is different (if its not then please link me the thread, Thanks).
Story: Today I decided that my unrooted phone wasn't enough for me, so I said: "Why not root?" . I have to add that I owned a LG Magna 3G before this Huawei P8 LIte 2017 and oh boi was the rooting procedure WAY HARDER(the huawei procedure)... I did well with my LG, but not so well with my Huawei. To be honest I was almost done but because I couldnt boot into TWRP, I decided to follow a guide I cant find cause I followed so many that my History is a mess (if anyone requests I will do some digging though). The guy suggested to someone that couldnt boot into TWRP (like me) that he should falsh TWRP>relock his OEM>Shutdown>Press a combination to go into recovery mode>???>Profit. I did just that but my device is now a 180 Euro brick.
Probelm: My device bootloops. Every time I shut it down (hold power key for 10sec), it reboots and gets stuck on the famous "Your device has been locked and can't be trusted. To learn more, BLAH BLAH BLAH. Your device is booting now...
I tried several key combinations, but whatever I do, when I hold my power key for 10sec, The huawei logo pops up for a second or two and then I get stuck on this screen again...
Sadly, I seem to have no connection between my PC and my device (adb can't find any connected device).
I also want to add that, after I was promted to relock my OEM, I removed the USB cable whoopsie.
What Im looking for:
A way to regain contact between my PC (adb) and my phone
A way to shutdown my device for now (and not forever... just for the night)
Someone to tell me that he had the same issue and took the following steps (Need clear answers and steps)
Anything else whatsoever
I don't think it's necessary to provide the files I used, since the reason my device is like this is because of my own stupidity:silly:
Thank you for your time.
You have to hold Power and Volume Up button pressed to boot into erecovery, not only power, check it.

Sorry for replying after 2 hours, I didn't get a notification.
I tried:
1. Holding the buttons until I see the "your device is booting..." message
2.Holding the buttons until it vibrates
3.Holding the buttons until I see the Huawei logo
Thanks for your time anyway
You press Volume Up + Power simultaneously, when you see the Huawei logo you release Power and hold Volume Up only until it boots to erecovery.

Tried this several times, no result.
Is there a more drastic solution to my stubborn phone?

The most drastic solution is the DC Phoenix software, not for free, if i am right they ask 15€ for 72 hours.
Not going to bother with this one tho... if I am very desperate, I might try to "borrow" it, but Im gonna seek other solutions until then.
Thanks for your time
On the "your device has been unlocked" hold the Volume up button until you boot to eRecovery. From there connect to wifi and restore stock rom. Afaik, erecovery should boot on bootlooped device. Give it a try
If this doesnt work, plug in to pc, and hold volume up + power, on huawei logo leave power button and hold volume up until you get to erecovery

Hello, thanks for replying
My device is now good, only gapps are missing but I don't care too much. Here is what happened:
So, I left my phone unplugged from any power source during the night (meanwhile the screen couldn't turn off), although I swear I did this 20 times already, when I booted my device after I came back from my University, my phone booted into eRecovery... I downloaded the latest package and it seems to work just fine now, the only problem is that the gapps need to be flased via TWRP (that I don't think I have anymore, how ironic).
Thanks to all of you who cared about giving me a solution :victory: Have a fantastic day
If you want to have a complete working system, i suggest you to try to update using erecovery again. It should download full firmware with gapps etc

Well, that was what we told you to do at first time. Erecovery can bring it back to life easily. Now as you have already been told erecovery flashes the complete firmware, including gapps.
You can also try to update it through the settings menu, in the system update settings you press the three dots menu on the upper right corner and select download latest complete package.

I know you told me first but, the difference was that, my phone had to ran out of battery to do this. In the end of my last reply I said thanks to all of you who cared, including you, you cared the most actualy

Well, at least it works now.
My OnePlus 3T got stuck on the bootlogo after I installed a few magisk modules. It will not reach the boot animation and so I can't get ADB to work. I need to get to recovery but I can't because ADB won't work and my volume buttons are broken. Any way to do this?
Edit: I'm running Android 10 and Magisk v20 if that helps at all.

I was thinking that it might be possible to use a USB keyboard to generate the volume up/down inputs, but I couldn't get it to work.
Without volume key presses I can't see how you can get back to recovery. You may need to use the unbrick tool.

Thanks for your response! I thought of that too but couldn't find my OTG cable so didn't get a chance to try it yet. From what I saw on the unbrick tool, it also required a volume button press. What I ended up doing was going to my local phone repair shop and hopefully when they get the part in they'll be able to fix it for me and I won't have to keep searching for an alternate solution as I don't think one exists. Thanks again for trying to help!
Get the volume keys fixed. The bootloader (what's showing the boot selection) does not know about (usb-)keyboards, in deed it does not know about usb (other then the fastboot mode). Anyway: good luck with your op3t!
