This is to say good bye to my beloved One Plus One bacon.
It started with the clock quitting its service. Suggestion do a factory reset.
I backed up all what TEAMWARE was offering and did the reset. Restored my backup, everything worked well no error messages what so ever.
But the phone didn't boot. The blue android symbol came up and flashed, the phone got hot but no prevail. All attempts to get back into recovery failed. But the phone went into fastboot mode. ADB devices test from a computer isn't finding the phone.
Has anybody any idea? Thanks

If your phone is going in fastboot mode, use 'fastboot devices' to look for the phone after connecting to computer, not 'adb devices'. They are two separate modes/protocols. If you don't have the 'fastboot' executable, google "minimal adb and fastboot" and download it. Hopefully your computer will install drivers automatically.
Once in fastboot mode, and connected and detected properly, just download the "signed fastboot" image from cyngn.com (go to support) and follow steps in item number 8 on this link
So tonight my phone randomly froze and restarted itself, and is now perpetually stuck on the black screen with the white Google text. Every so often it restarts itself back to that point and stops. I was running Nougat from the beta program workaround.
I have done tons of research and am at a loss. So far I have:
-Booted into fastboot mode and attempted Recovery Mode. I can navigate using the volume keys until Recovery Mode shows up in red, but when I hit the Power button to select it the phone immediately boots back to the normal Google logo loop.
-Tried to flash a stock image via command line, no luck because of bootloader I think.
I might not be using all the right terminology, but it seems to me that I am stuck because I never enabled USB Debugging or Unlocked my Bootloader while the phone was working?
-If I go to CMD and type 'ADB devices' I just get a message saying "List of devices attached" and nothing else.
-If I type 'Fastboot Devices' then my phones serial number appears and it says fastboot next to it.
-If I type 'fastboot flashing unlock' it says "FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this and get my phone working again?
Thanks in advance!

Lesson #1: always keep your bootloader unlocked.
Don't bother trying any fastboot commands, they will never work because your bootloader is locked. Don't bother trying any adb commands either, they won't work in fastboot/bootloader mode (they only work while booted into Android and in recovery). I hate to say it but you're basically screwed. With no access to fastboot, no access to recovery, and no access to there's literally zero you can do. This should be covered under warranty, though. When you say the Nougat "beta program workaround" what exactly do you mean?

Where if you got impatient for an OTA you could sign up for the android beta program to get Nougat (once it was officially released) and then opt out of the program without having to downgrade back to Marshmallow.
I was worried I might be screwed. I will call google tomorrow and see what can be done, although I am a little worried since I bought the phone from Best Buy instead of from the Google Play store

I'm not entirely sure how it works but I believe you'll need to contact Best Buy. Even so it should be covered by warranty.

In my experience, Best Buy will not honor manufacturer warranties on smartphones; So unless you bought their Geek Squad coverage, they will tell you to contact Huawei for a warranty RMA.
Contact Info for Warranty RMA:
Huawei Device USA
1-888-548-2934 (1-888-5HUAWEI)
Got ahold of Huawei and it was surprisingly easy and fast. They emailed me a shipping label I just have to drop my phone in the mail and send it to them and it will be covered under warranty. Luckily I have my old Nexus 6 to use until they get it back to me
Hello I am posting in Q&A because I'm a new XDA user, I was not allowed to post in the dev channel.
I have an Essential phone that has been working great for the past few years, no issues, and it was running standard build receiving OTA updates, until the very last update, which soft bricked the phone.
The phone was never enabled in developer mode while in Android, and now, I can't boot the phone into android at all. The only thing I can do is get into fastboot.
Fastboot state shows DEVICE STATE - locked
Any commands I try to unlock flashing, or change slots, anything at all, I get the error that the device is locked so all commands to unlock fail.
Is there any way to unlock device state from fastboot? I saw a youtube video showing a way to use a chopped USB cable to enter emergency / EDL mode for Qualcomm-based Android devices, but have not seen anyone post that this was successful with the Essential
Does anyone know of any method to be able to unlock flashing from fastboot? Or any other method to un-brick an essential? I've attempted everything, on both Mac and PC, nothing works.
On mac or PC, I can query the device in fastboot and get a response, I just can't do anything to unlock anything!!
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Same problem
Same thing happened to me. Same day as you. I can get fastboot but not adb but since the device is locked I can't flash. I've only had the phone about 6 months so I contacted customer support and they offered to replace the phone.
It might be a known issue because they didn't even try to address the fact that I could get fastboot connected but not adb. They just offered to replace.
Thanks for the info! I am -at least in this case- unfortunately an early adopter. I bought two essentials at the beginning of the pre-release.
Essential support checked my serial number and said the phone was out of warranty.
Has anyone been able to force the Essential into EDL mode to recover that way? It looks like you have to latch one of the USB pins to ground, or 5V, but I haven't found any detailed instructions on how to make this work on the essential...
Thanks again
Justin
I'm sure things have changed and I'm wrong, but if you can get into the fastboot menu can't you just cycle through the options until you get to recovery and then flash an official release from Essential?
I may be thinking of LG or something but this should be possible as long as it's newer than the current software installed because it will see it as an official update and allow the flash.
Thanks but unfortunately, when I try and do that, the phone just does the same thing, it hangs forever on the initial boot screen white Android text with the circle/square logo...
That's why I've been looking into the more direct hardware version of forcing the phone into EDL mode, which is supposed to be possible with all Qualcomm based phones.
I've just not found the time yet to find a USB-C cable I'd be happy to cut in half and short the pins on! Which is why I was hoping someone might have tried this with an essential before to know if it was successful before I start trashing good cables
Thanks again for your reply!

I have the exact same problem,
My phone is stuck on Essential log when I turned it on,
I can access Bootloader normally but the device is locked so I cannot flash it,
Recovery is corrupted, when I try to star it, it shows only the the Essential log and freeze so I can not format or wipe or sideload.
OEM Locked and unchecked
USB Debugging is unchecked
and I can't flash anything,
Did you managed to unlock it through Fastboot command or any other way ?
I wish I can just login to the recovery or unlock it so I can flash it clean,
Kindly help me if you found a way out
Thank you
Hello Guys, beforehand, sorry for bad formatting and some english mistakes.
Let me explain what happened.
I was trying to unlock my Nexus 7 bootloader, but I couldn´t get to the Fastboot mode via adb, so I decided to enter fastboot mode by pressing Power + Volume Down button, but I did this while my tablet was connected to the PC, and after that, it shut down and just don´t turned on anymore. (Never got to fastboot mode)
Now when I connect to windows it only show as an AXP Device and it disconnects and connects when i hold Power button, but never starts.
Also I want to note that.
I didn´t manage to get into fastboot mode.
I didn´t manage to unlock the bootloader.
Didn´t install any Custom Rom.
The device is technically 100% stock, so I don´t expect it to be a Hard Brick, but at the same time, I tried all the button combinations and it still wont turn on.
This happened to anyone? Do you guys have any idea what it could be? Any Sollutions for this?
Thank you.
(Edit: I don´t have the Blobs.bin file in case i need to use the Nvflash.)

Take a look at this comprehensive listing of Nexus 7 button presses/interrupts. They may be of some use...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37606945#post37606945
Hi, Gabu1405...
APX mode is never a good sign with the Nexus 7. It usually indicates that the bootloader has become corrupted, erased or overwritten (by something that is not a valid bootloader). When this occurs, the device is hardbricked and usually requires a motherboard replacement to resurrect the device, although there is a procedure called 'flatline', but this requires previously generated device unique 'blob' files, which you mention in your post.
Having said all of that though, nothing in your description should have caused the bootloader to have become 'damaged'. In order to erase, corrupt or overwrite the bootloader, your device would need to be bootloader unlocked in the first place, because a locked bootloader prohibits any unauthorised write access - bootloader locked devices can only be system 'modified' by official digitally signed updates from Google, which are flashed via the stock recovery.
Are you certain the Nexus 7 is showing as an APX device in Windows device manager?
What was the battery status/percentage when you attempted to unlock the bootloader? Maybe the tablet just needs a good charge, maybe for several hours!
You don't unlock the bootloader with ADB. Android Debug Bridge only works in fully booted Android and with the stock factory recovery. You need to use fastboot to unlock the bootloader, the command being fastboot oem unlock, whilst the device is in fastboot mode, which you boot into via the Volume Down+Power Button key press combo, as you mention in your post.
How it (may have) got into APX mode is certainly strange, because as I've said, this isn't something that normally happens spontaneously - when it happens, it's often due to people mistakenly flashing an incorrect .IMG file to the bootloader partition, causing the bootloader to be overwritten. A possible explanation is hardware failure, and that the emmc/NAND chip storage has developed a fault, and caused the bootloader to become corrupted. It's worth bearing in mind that the Nexus 7 is now seven years old, and with the best will in the world, these things don't last forever, unfortunately. Components fail and data corruptions occur.
If your Nexus 7 is truly in APX mode, for whatever reason, then I'm afraid it's likely hardbricked, and a motherboard replacement is the only realistic way of resurrecting it.
I can only suggest you try charging your Nexus 7, maybe overnight, or for several hours at least, and maybe try the button presses referenced via the link at the top of this post, and see if you can coax life back into your Nexus 7. It does happen sometimes; a seemingly dead device will suddenly spring back to life, through a combination of serendipity and hitting on doing the right things, in the right order, and at the right time
Good luck, Gabu1405...

Sorry, I expressed myself wrongly, I ran the same command as you said, it was fastboot oem unlock and it just said, "waiting for device..." then I tried fastboot oem unlock-go, also the same thing "waiting for device" so I just disconnected the tablet and restarted it and it was working pretty fine, then I connected to the PC and tried to enter fastboot mode manually, and this is when it shut down and never turned back on.
Also, my battery was at 70% at that time and yes, It's clearly on APX mode.
Well, thank you for your reply, now the only thing I got to do is recharge it and hope for the best.
Regards.

Probably not much use until, or indeed if, you can get out of APX Mode... But the 'waiting for device' message is usually an indicator of a Windows driver problem - Windows is not able to communicate with the Nexus 7.
The way you'd normally do things is by first running the command fastboot devices
This command does nothing, except to confirm you have a viable fastboot connection, by displaying your Nexus 7's unique serial number in your Windows Command/DOS box. If this serial number fails to appear, you have a driver/connectivity problem and proceeding on to fastboot oem unlock would be pointless until the driver/connectivity problem is resolved.
Anyway, I hope charging the device helps. I'm still inclined to think that your device is recoverable - it would certainly be very unusual for the bootloader to be borked when it hasn't even been unlocked yet. In the seven years I've been a Nexus 7 owner, and being active on these forums for many of those years, I haven't encountered any reports by other XDA members where a locked bootloader has simply quit working... As I say, it'd be very unusual, but I suppose not wholly impossible.

Well, charged my device for a whole day, and now I tried to do the button combinations which you sent the link, nothing happened.
I thought that my battery could be unplugged or the cable was loose or something, so I opened the tablet and it was fine.
So, I just decided to do the button combinations while plugged into my PC, and I noticed that doesn´t matter which combination I try, the tablet disconnects from the PC and instantly reconnects, but still in APX mode.
I guess it is Game Over for me, gonna recharge it again, and try again tomorrow.
Thanks again.

Hi!
I had a Nexus 7 stuck in APX mode as well. Without the blobs saved you can't do anything. I tried a lot of thigs but nothing really helped. I ended up searching for an another N7 with a broken screen but with a working motherboard online. I was lucky and find one around $15. I swapped the boards and it was good to go.

Check out my guide.
Hello!
THink I have bricked my phone, but just checking before I go through what I suppose is a long process with oneplus.
Looking for any help. I had a working device - unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP and magisk using MauronofrioTool. ok - however, I found out I couldn't use a fingerprint security option on that would have been anoying. So... Long story short. I used MauronofrioTool to relock bootloader. Oops - so that didn't work. THen found out I couldn't do anything except stare at g.co/ADH message on my screen. Couldn
't get to fastboot or TWP. ANyway, so I managed to up and down volume and enter into TWRP. Was still connecting to the tool, so I downloaded factory Zips and tried to install via tool after unlocking - Seemed to be working ... but it stopped mid way through a process and hasbn't come back! NOthing at all. I wonder if I could have triggered an OEM thing? ANyway - literally nothing no buttons work no screen action. I see a QUSB_BULK_CID:etc number when connecting the phone, but that is it. No fast boot or any other actions available.
PLease, pretty devastating, Anyone know if I can do anything?
I'm no pro but I use this tool which helped me:

Thank you. I feel I am little past this stage now though.. Also trying the brick reprieve software . Just can't get my computer to recognise the phone now. No ability to get to emergency download path - think it is my crappy cihinese pc (old Huawei tablet basically) or Windows via apple that have me stranded.
**********SOLVED
THe crappy Chinese language Windows tablet worked as the unbrick OP said WIndows would. Must be a kink in the Windows via Mac that could get me into the situation, but not out.
Very relieved... Even though I still am not 100% sure what I actually ended up clicking to get it to register and connect with the unblock tool (which of course was in Chinese) hahaha.
Cheers
CHeers though
Glad you got it sorted out! Cheers
Need Help, please
Just received my OnePlus 8 pro, decided to Root and unlock the bootloader---this went fine.
I then went and upgraded to Android 11 DP3.
I'm now only able to get into Fastboot. at points it will try to boot but only get to the logo screen and then goes black.
When the phone boots up, it goes to Qualcomm CrashDump Mode.
I've been attempting to solve this for half the day with no luck. I've tried Msmtool, but it doesn't recognize the device, even after loading drivers again.
Is there a way to load a ROM from fastboot mode?
Hoping someone can assist, this is super frustrating and I would appreciate any help, please.

Thanks so much. I ended up getting Msmtool to work. Although my device wasn't on (black screen) and it didn't fully show up in the tool, I decided to start the process anyway and it began to load.
I've been on here for over 10 yeas (XDA) I've just lost my account info and made a new one.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Much appreciated.
