Hey guys,
Im not new to flashing roms etc,
but this is the first time i have so much trouble with it.
I read the streak how to PDF and followed the instructions on installing superboot.
when i installed superboot, the phone reset itself, and when it turns on, the dell logo shows up and the "home and menu" led starts flashing on and off and the restarts again.
I tried following the instuctions on how to restore the phone, but none of it worked. i specifically followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805112
and when i try to flash the update.pkg, i get an error at the end about the boot bin or something like that.
anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
I heard something about a QDL tool i could use...not sure what that is and i couldnt find an exact answer searching the forums.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: found a guide on using the QDL tool, im going to try it now wish me luck lol
If u got yours from best buy u need to use QDL. Read carefully and just do as it says
thanks for the tip, it is indeed the best buy exclusive white one....running qdl as we speak
ok everything is good now!
i just need to figure out why when i try to install dj steves rom it gives me
"failed to verify signature"
ok so now i am having a hard time rooting the phone.
I am using the android 2.2 provided from QDL and am trying to root via universal androot which isnt working for me.
any other ways i can root?
note: im using a best buy dell streak
If you are updating to his 1.6 then you dont need to root it.
It it pre-rooted
thanks, I figured it out.
It turns out that the "how to pdf" (while an amazing guide) linked me to outdated versions of the the recovery which is why it would not work.
everything is working now,
running steves 1.6 and loving life. Thanks every one for your help!!!!!

This won't work. The bootloader is locked and he has no way to unlock it.

I just started having this same issue.
I can't get into recovery from the bootloader in order to perform section 13. Once hit recovery, it's back to looping boot screen with white Google text.
Just got finished with Google phone support. They're sending me a new device. It must be a hardware failure.
Background: I got OTA notification on Friday night. I downloaded and hit install. Then after a while it said there was an upgrade error, and to please try again. But it was going to have to download the 1+ GB OTA file again, so I just said screw it, i'll do it later. Here am I 2 days later with a broken phone. Thinking this has to be related.
Stock phone, locked bootloader. Running 6.0.1

Please join this thread to help troubleshoot.
I am hoping to collect enough data to figure out a solution for all effected.
is your BL locked and device encrypted?
When you try to load recovery, does it ask for password?
try entering your last google account email password if so.

Hi Heisenberg,
I ran into this problem today with my phone stuck on Google screen. I tried to use your guide and put my phone in recovery but it just goes back to rebooting and just shows the "Google" logo so if I can't get the phone into recovery then I won't be able to use your guide right? Is these any other way to solve this problem or am I screwed?
Also how can this problem be prevented in the future if I got new phone under warranty? Do I root and flash pure Nexus ROM and backup images?
Thanks,

Hello... Try to look here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/boot-loop-death-nexus-6p-t3533528
For your second question, it's hard to tell... Making regular backups may help protecting your datas, but can't help your new phone to start acting crazy...
I have been doing weekly backups to my pc. I backup my TWRP, TBU, Super Backup, DCIM and download directories.

Any ideas are any solution when I have custom rom?
EDIT: Not needed, seems that wife phone has motherboard problem because now it will stuck in TWRP screen.
I am pretty sure I had this problem before. Actually within hours of purchasing and rooting. Lol go into fastboot and install factory images. If you were able to get into recovery you could use adb to oem unlock.. but that doesn't sound like an option.
My phone died last night in a bootloop death. Thankfully here in the UK we have a 2 year warranty so Huawei are taking it back. I mentioned "bootloop issue" and the tech guy stopped asking the standard stuff and just sent me a returns bag.
Try this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/confirmed-hardware-defects-nexus-6p-t3610405
Quickly enable bootloader unlocking, then follow the tutorials already known for 4-core recovery
Well I've now got a different phone back from Huawei as they told me they no longer have replacement motherboards available.

There are a couple of guides and tools to unbrick your phone here in XDA. Check if your phone is in any of the fixable status.
Good luck!
Hi there. I am a a bit of a root-moron and have bricked my brand new Oneplus 6T while rooting it. Now I am stuck in a bootloop that ONLY cycles through the fastboot.
I can no longer enter into recovery mode from fastboot.
I can not use the MSM Download tool because the phone will not go into MSM Mode. Whenever I connect to the USB the phone automatically “wakes up” and immediately goes into fastboot.
When I hold the power button + volume up it just cycles through all the fastboot options and when it does eventually power down / screen goes black, it immediately powers back up and does the exact same thing.
So I simply cant get into MSM mode or recovery mode. I don’t know what to do and fear that the phone may be totally f#cked.
I welcome assistance from anyone here who actually knows what they are doing vs me who knows close to nothing. Help please!

Thanks for your follow up.
Just want to let you now that I fixed it using the Stock Fastboot tool posted here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516
I just did exactly as instructed; my phone was already stuck in fastboot so I plugged to my PC and ran the flash-all.bat file. I really didn't think it would work because the phone did not seem to respond or do anything. I went to the toilet, came back and it was reset to factory!!!! Amazing.
Thank you so much @mauronofrio for posting this amazing tool. You saved my bricked phone! I sent you a donation for your assistance. Thanks again.
Just for future reference, as long as you can get this phone into fastboot, you should be fine. For now that's where all the flashing happens until we get a custom recovery.
But I'm glad to hear you fixed it lol
Can I just point out how bad*** of a "newb" the OP is. Dude signs up to XDA, literally makes his account name "OP6TNewb" then proceeds to give zero f**** and immediately jumps into flashing his brand new phone (as we all did once!). THEN he fixes the issue on his own using a tool he found by SEARCHING and THEN HE DONATED TO THE DEV WHO CREATED THE TOOL!!!!!
Kudos to you @OP6TNewb. All "newbs" should aspire to be like you.

Thank you for the kind words. Donating was an easy choice because the tool saved me $650. If a guy in my situation doesn't stand up and donate to rewards you guys then who will???
Thanks again to @mauronofrio for the amazing tool and thank you to this community for allowing newbs like me to somewhat safely explore the world of android rooting & modifications.

Out of mere curiosity, what exactly did you do to cause the device to go into bootloop anyhow?

They probably have gone off to brag to their friends about what happened. Lol
I, too, am curious about what he did. It's been so long since I first began tinkering, but certainly remember some times I goofed.

Hi Pain & Panic.
I was attempting to root my device following the instructions here https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t-unlock-bootloader-root/ by Adam Conway.
I was successful up to flashing the twrp img file but I made the error of flashing the wrong zip file. (blu_spark_r54-oos-pie_op6-6t_12869fe.zip ). This is bc when you follow the link to the twrp download page in Adam's instructions, the actual twrp zip file you need as per the instructions is the 10th file down the list and I didn't realize that this was important vs using the 1st zip file on the page which is the one I used. I assumed that the other files were older versions and the 1st was the most recent update that I should use. For a newb like me, this was VERY confusing.
Once I flashed the zip and rebooted to system, I got stuck in the fastboot bootloop.
While I am not 100% sure that this is what caused the problem, and maybe you will tell me that the zip file shouldn't have made a difference, but these are the steps I took.
FYI - after restoring my device using @mauronofrio's tool, I have successfully rooted my phone by following Adam Conway's steps and using the EXACT files he screenshots on the tutorial. So after a painful but educational experience, I rooted my device. Thanks again!

I forgot to mention one thing which may also be the reason. Initially, before using Adam Conways instructions, I started with the steps on High on Android (Max Lee) for the OP6 but on their download page, I mistakenly downloaded the twrp zip for the 5T and I flashed it. This initially cause the device to brick but I got it back into fastboot and into recovery and thats when I flashed the OTHER twrp file above. After I did this, I could no longer get into recover and was stuck in fastboot only.
So you can see that I made multiple errrors and I am not sure which one lead to what. Thank goodness OnePlus is friendly to rooting so I could save the phone!

Ah, I see. Looks like you flashed a kernel zip instead.
Im not a noob, but have been so out of practice with the latest Android ROMS and flashing and the changes in the partition arrangements. I managed to soft brick my phone as well and this post totally saved the day! Mauronofrio totally deserves a donation and I also gave one.
Thanks XDA! This place has saved me many times and helped me get the most of all my Android devices!
Hey guys. i am also no noob in flashing/rooting my devices.
Don thishundres of times.
Today my OP6T has shown an Magisk update (before it was 21.4 + Magisk Manager) and now it showed the popup to update -> done and error "bad image format" (i think for the kernel). Rebooted and now i am stuck in the same fastboot bootloop.
Tried to boot up TWRP with "fastboot boot tmrp.img" sadly it doesnt boot.
Any hints how i can recover my phone without wiping everything?
maybe @mauronofrio has an idea?
thx a lot
Other users facing the same issue with magisk 22, see here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...oot-roms-for-oneplus-6t.3862516/post-84553217

Hello,
It seems you have access to fastboot so refer to this thread, unbrick tools are both
for android 9 and 10. See post #2 if you have t mobile variant.
Ask if you have questions you find many kindly users here.
Cheers :fingers-crossed:
