My device was using Oxygen OS Pie official version OTA 43 and the I got the notification for OTA 46 update.
Having an unlocked bootloader and TWRP codeworkx recovery 3.2.3-0, I removed the compatiblity.zip from the OTA, like the other times I did, and tried to flash it, which resulted into a failure. But after rebooting to bootloader and flashing the original oneplus recovery image, I tried to flash the zip again. Which also failed. I have no root, or modifications done to the system. However upon reboot I got the unlocked bootloader warning but nothing else showed up. I couldn't access the recovery nor the bootloader. Fastboot or ADB was unable to detect any device. So I was stuck with a Hard Brick.
After that I downloaded cheeseburger_23_O.13_170803 MsmDownloadTool 4.0 from the unbrick thread and followed the instructions. It completed successfully and I have stock Oneplus 5 on Oxygen OS 4.5.8 and Android 7.1.1 however system update was available to Oxygen OS 5.1.4 and I tried to install it, which failed. I unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp official 3.2.3 and tried again, which also failed with E3005: exit code 7
I tried flashing codeworkx recovery but it results into a black screen at the recovery and a continuous blue light at the LED — like when it was when Hard bricked. I don't understand what to do anymore. Also Bootloader has changed:
Product Name: QC_reference_Phone
Variant : MSM UFS
Bootloader Version: (it is blank)
Baseband Version: (also blank)
Serial Number: (present, same as what it used to be)
Secure Boot: yes
Device State : Unlocked
Did I miss something while Unbricking?
EDIT:
I don't know if something was wrong with my bootloader or unbricking, but I fixed the issue by using an updated version of unbrick tool from: Here
Some information is till missing from the bootloader screen ie. baseband version and bootloader version, but I could update to latest OTA at least.

try a different recovery like "Oreo" and if doesn't help then use unbrick tool

I did try to install codeworkx twrp recovery, for the Oreo build but it was giving me a hard brick, ie. A black screen and a blue LED when trying to boot to recovery. But as I said, using Unbrick tool v4.0.8 I was able to restore to Oxygen Os 5.1.7 and then everything worked fine.
I am just unsure why it didn't work with Oxygen Os 4.5.8
I mean, with a locked bootloader and a freshly installed OS, you should be able to get OTA updates, right? But the system update was failing. So maybe there was something wrong with the partitions? I don't know. The bootloader in the older Unbrick tool was different than stock. Maybe that was a fault, well, I'll never know. But all I'm saying is, newer Unbrick Tool worked wonders for me.

Hi there! I have this question which I'd love to have answered because I've been on this issue for around 2 days straight.
Long story short:
Tried to flash custom recovery using fastboot, didn't work because bootloader locked
Kept on trying the unlocker apps, none of them even installed fully (THIS WAS WHEN I WAS STILL ON LOLLIPOP)
Somehow, at some point, I just randomly rebooted and BOOM THERE WAS TWRP (Sorry, I don't remember how exactly I managed that. As far as I remember, I was only using fastboot and nothing else)
Flashed CM 14.1 unofficial, device gave an error message regarding boot.img (something like "could not load boot.img"
Used stock ROM to flash OTA Android 6.1
Now the Asus unlocker app downloads but on reboot it says "error: unlock fail !!!"
Obviously, fastboot is unable to flash a recovery right now. I tried ignoring the error message and rebooting to recovery to stop the device from loading the stock recovery again but the device still loads the stock recovery.
I'm really tired
P.S: NO, there is no Enable OEM option in my Developer Options menu and YES, I have all the drivers necessary.
Did you get anywhere with this? I have a similar problem except that I couldn't flash Android 6.1 because the vendor had flashed WW 5.0.2 on a CN phone without also updating the CN recovery to WW. So the update failed its consistency check.
I've got TWRP on there now, but can't unlock the bootloader in 5.0.2 - I think this is why TWRP can't flash anything. It can't see the update files, won't switch to external SD, etc. .
I also found and tried flashing a WW recovery but that didn't work either. I'm wondering now if I got the 615 software by mistake.
Urgent help needed as I'm leaving the country at the end of the week o any help is appreciated!
Just successfully rooted my device:
Black, Unlocked, PRA-LX1, UK, Dual SIM
After doing so successfully, I attempted to flash LineageOS from the following link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/p8-lite-2017-development/rom-lineageos-15-1-hi6250-devices-t3811583
Although when I completed Step 6 on the Installation guide and rebooted the phone, I started seeing the message:
------------------
ERROR MODE
Attention!
Please update system again
(Green Android picture)
Error!
Func NO : 11 (recovery image)
Error NO : 2 (load failed!)
------------------
Despite this, I didn't receive a box with my phone due to being second hand, and I didn't see the model number on the receipt as it was from a reselling store. I didn't remember to note down the specific model number
It'd be extremely helpful if someone could possibly help just from the device description above as I'm not sure if it's safe for me to just attempt to flash every stock rom for every other LX1 device out there.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Update:
To restore this, I connected via fastboot with a working USB & flashed an original stock recovery in the video found here
(Just in case their download link ever goes down, I have uploaded the same copy to my MEGA, found here)
The recovery installed fine when using the command
fastboot flash recovery oeminfo.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Whenever trying to flash any other recovery such as twrp before this fastboot stuck on a loading icon.
The stock recovery seems to be downloading the original firmware, too.
PRA-LX1C432B202 is presumably the model.
Both the bootloader and FRA were unlocked when everything else was inaccessible.
Looks like the custom ROM's recovery that you've flashed is not compatible with PRA-LX1. Try to flash stock recovery. If not working, then flash stock firmware.
Thanks @Botar230!
I didn't see your comment until just now after deciding to edit this post since I've gotten a step closer to restoring my device.
Your solution was the method I used although I didn't know my phone model, so I found a random solution which just worked for my device, and the eRecovery seems to be downloading the stock firmware anyways. Thanks again
Before flashing this lineage os you should update to EMUI8 to get treble support, i suppose you was running EMUI5, hence the error mode.
I tried to root android 8.1, then it came up with a error message on startup saying:
This device has loaded a different operating system
ID: (serial number)
This device will shut down in 30 seconds
and it also has an unlock icon.
But I managed to boot to TWRP and I tried flashing the ota itself but it still wouldn't work so I flashed the Nougat OTA and it now boots to recovery instead of the error message. Now I tried to sideload the OTA but it will come up with the error " failed to read command: No error"
By the way I did try OST LA but it was stuck on checking device status.
Use OST LA version 6.0.4. That works. If I understood correctly, you flashed official ROM and OTA through TWRP. You can't do it. ROMs are installed only through OST and OTAs only through official recovery (which TWRP isn't)

Thanks a lot, now my phone is working after flashing nougat with OST LA 6.0.4 instead of 6.1.2. Now my phone will probably explode with notifications .

About phone: Huawei P9 lite VNS-L21C432B161 (central Europe)
First modifications
A long time ago i unlocked bootloader and successfully rooted the phone. I turned off OEM unlock option in settings after rooting, because someone said i should do so for security. Then came EMUI 5 OTA. It somehow updated itself without me agreeing. Android nougat detected, that the bootloader was unlocked and so it assumed that OEM unlock option was also ENABLED when it really wasn't, making me unable to re-enable the option.
So i used the https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/tutorial-rollback-n-to-mm-c432-devices-t3563955432-devices-t3563955" <-- official rollback package and installed stock ROM through dload.
Here is the part where i messed up horribly
Now i wanted to update to android 7 again, but updater wasn't giving it to me and i was unable to flash it through TWRP. I installed the rollback package again through download mode as it said it allows any ROM to be installed, hoping i could then install android 7 through Download mode, which would in turn allowed me to install newer version of TWRP to then install a nougat based custom ROM.
Current situation
Now i am stuck at the 'Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. TWRP 3.0.1 should be installed but it never boots. Can't access bootloader, phone doesn't seem to be detecting the Power+Volume down combination. Recovery gets stuck at the shorter warning screen during boot, erecovery gets stuck as well. This has been like this even before i tried this, no idea what caused it. I can't even access download mode, which gets stuck at the shorter warning screen as well.
What i hope to achieve now
At best: To make it work again.
At worst: To at least be able to turn it off somehow so the text doesn't get burnt into the screen in case i ever manage to fix it.
Thanks in advance
I believe we all know here how hard flashing Nokia 6 phones are... they are unbelievably a PITA.
I have a TA-1025 Nokia 6, 7.1.1 Nougat. I have been trying to fix it for 3 days now with no success. Originally tried to reflash stock boot image at first with little success so I could flash Magisk. Ended up wiping out entire System partition and trying to reflash, getting nowhere. I then flashed a B02_Homebrew.zip which ended up with stock recovery and no root at all (and no ability to flash magisk despite having unlocked bootloader. great.) Downgraded bootloader again and am now stuck and unsure how to proceed.
Note I CANNOT get QFil to work without EDL mode, which requires me to tear my phone apart.
Any suggestions? Does anyone have any certified knowledge of how to fix and reflash stock Nokia 6? I don't want to take it to a dealer because they will update it and make it unrootable (and probably won't be able to even touch it since bootloader is unlocked.)
ATM, all I can boot to is TWRP recovery or Download Mode.
Help?

just download the Full OTA update in the thread section.
must downgrade first ur recovery to nougat then install update via recovery.
You can use TA-1021.
If you want Nougat Ver. then use Nokia OST.

Note :Your bootloader will be remained unlocked. don't worry

It shows up as a QualComm COMM port device. But before you get your hopes up, every time I have tried to flash it, it says "Failed to switch to EDL mode" :-/.
