Hope someone can help me with this problem. So my phone was rooted a while ago (I don't remember the method I used) and I installed the OTA update from early December no problem but lost root in the process.
Since then my phones been having a pain in the ass rebooting issue everyday. It'll constantly reboot for no reason. I had read somewhere that rerooting the phone will solve this.
So I downloaded Z4 and was able to install it. But every time I try to root my phone using Z4 the program will run for a while and then freeze my phone entirely forcing me to remove the battery to reboot it.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I already tried making sure the phone was in debugging mode as I had read some peoples posts saying it didn't work for them otherwise. Any help would be appreciated, all these random reboots are driving me crazy.

No problem.
My DX System Version is 2.3.340, and nothing worked, neither manual nor single-button.
Tried z4root and worked the first time (from thread).
I posted about this previously and didn't receive much help. Since the issue has only worsened, i figure i'll try again.
My nexus started experiencing random reboot and pretty soon, it wouldn't stay on if i wasn't charging it. I downgraded from kit kat 4.4.4 to 4.4.3 and then to 4.4.2. Didn't help. Then i installed a twrp recovery and the SlimKat rom. Still nothing. So i bought a new battery. Still the same issue. At this point i'm at the end of my rope, not sure if there is anything else i can do. Of course i'm out of warranty so google plus is either unable or unwilling to help, i'm not sure which. They usually sound so hapless when i call. Any ideas what might be the issue or what else i can do? Thanks for your help!
Have you pulled logcat or kmsg when this happens? Did you try complete wipes/formats and full install of all stock firmware/software?

Thanks for your response.
I hadn't ever heard of a logcat until you asked me. I ran a quick scan using catlog and found a boatload of errors and failures. But i'm not really sure how to read them or what to do with it. I was going to post the result of my search filtered to show only the errors and failures, but it wouldn't let me post any outside links.
As to your second question. I performed a factory reset earlier on and then i found your Manta help thread and used it install other stock versions of kit kat. I'm pretty sure i wiped the device completely clean a few times while following those instructions. Correct me if i'm wrong. Thanks for your help. I know its a trial to deal with noobs like me!
Its all good, everyone starts somewhere
Factory resets can often help but the full format you just did via fastboot may have done the trick. As to the logcat you will often see many errors that aren't too important, in your situation you are looking for what may be causing a kernel panic / unwanted reboot
Here is a good place to go to learn how to read them

Thanks for your help. I've spent the last day and a half reading up on this and even individually googling each error to see what might come up. I haven't come to any satisfactory conclusions. If its not to much work, can you, or anyone else help me read the logcat to see what might be the issue? I have it posted on paintbin. I filtered it to show just the errors and failures to make it short. http://pastebin.com/MyNgt476. Thanks.
I don't see anything terrible in there that would cause it to shut down. Can you grab a last_kmsg after random reboot or get the log while the reboot happens?

I did Last_kmsg after a reboot as you sugested and the result can be found at: http://pastebin.com/z0UquBmq
I also did another logcat this time using adb and pasted it here : http:// pastebin.com/vtGD1qjG. I hope this is able to shed some light on my issues. Thanks so much for your help!
Well good news and bad news, I don't see anything specifically bad.
In the kernel log it looks like reboot was triggered by a keypress which may mean that your power button is faulty or could be something more software where removing it from charger triggers the key press even without actually touching the power button. The problem is that the trigger would be in /system/bin and if an error was there (as in some kind of bad file present) it should be removed in a complete wipe/format. So in truth I can't tell what the cause is.
So to reiterate, your tablet works perfectly fine so long as it is on the charger, once removed it powers off? Or gets stuck in a bootloop? And this wont matter if on stock or custom ROM/kernel? And will it not power on if not on charger or just bootloop?

Yup, it powers off if unplugged. Nothing i've done so far had changed it. It never bootloops, just off and on. If its unplugged and i try to boot it, it starts for a second and then just fizzles out. Should i maybe try a complete wipe again? Maybe i should sign on to google plus? Am i grasping at straws?

Yes exactly, do a full format with fastboot
Flash latest stock firmware/software (including bootloader) and reboot but don't sign in
Then test, if it works then sign in and wait and test, if still working then restore apps and data and test.
But if after complete format and install of stock everything your issue still persists then it may be safe to chalk it up to hardware... Which may prove trickier to troubleshoot
Best of luck!

Yes it works fine and the issue has nothing to do with root. Probably half of us using it are rooted without issue
Bit of a thread-dig here, but I just got a PH1 and went straight to P (not rooted yet) and saw no WiFi. Wouldn't even turn on.
The phone came with 7.1.1 and I flashed P via fastboot. Tried rebooting and monkeying with it, but never saw any progress, no list of networks, etc.
7.1.1 did see WiFi for the 5 minutes I ran it.
Flashed latest stable 8.1 and it WiFi worked again immediately.
Then flashed 9 a second time and now WiFi works fine.
My best guess is the 7.1.1->9 transition has some kind of issue (doesn't quite make sense to me, given that I think EVERYTHING is being flashed by the 9 update, but this did fix it).

Just got my Essential Phone today as well and did the exact same thing, flashed straight from 7.1.1 to P. I thought I was seriously going to have to send the phone back due to a broken Wi-Fi chip or something. You are seriously a lifesaver!

If I take your post at face value... You have a bad flash and need to try again... Or blame your cable... And go buy a new one...
Otherwise... You have a bad download... Or there is something wrong wrong with your zip or batch/script... Or you're not completely unlocked
Listen guys, the issue is bc the ota zip for p doesnt flash both slots and the fastboot images zip doesnt either. If u look at the script (flashall. Bat) with a text editor it specifically shows only flashing one slot. To fix the wifi issue, u need the july oreo images file and that flashall. Bat flashes both slots and will fix the lost wifi and or Bluetooth. Once u do that, it reboots twice and go back to dev options and renable usb debugging. Now u reboot bootloader and flash p. Now it should all work. Also, in doing this, you will have to lose your data.
Same here but can't roll back to Oreo
See.issue here but I seem.to not be able.to resolve wifi issue or roll back to Oreo. When I try to reflash it just says it expects a newer version of is. Any ideas?

The reason is because one of the OTAs did not have the partition you're looking for... And it created a mismatch somewhere...
You DO NOT need to have the same software on A and B... It just makes troubleshooting easier from our perspective... And... It forces you to reflash and probably fix the problem...
As intended... There should ALWAYS be a mismatch between A and B... At least a monthly security update... If not an Android versioning difference
Edited. We are all just trying to help others. Lets keep it that way.
so, uhmmm like yea...... there is this thread here, called the stock images thread (link for posterity https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/development/stock-7-1-1-nmj20d-t3701681 ) this is firmware images, directly from essential. I have added the remaining images that you dont get from essential, so that way you can reflash, and get the same version of software on both sides. there are wipe and no wipe bat files in there, twrp11 (the working twrp we have), and the fix red boot (in case you broke verity), and a stockboot.img (coincidentally the same file as called boot in the zip, but renamed for your twrp/rooting pleasure).
These images work great, many many many people have used them to go back and forth between O and P, OTA, or recover from catastrophe. As usual, beware of dragons, make SURE SURE SURE SURE you have a working adb/fastboot environment (use the version that comes with essentials drivers) (you can always do ADB VERSION or FASTBOOT --VERSION ) to check your version and where its working out of. It is 1 stop shopping. I also know the guy that makes the zips

No prob, i understand the frustration.i assure you i was not guessing. I only post what i know is for sure. When faced with the exact same issue as OP i was forced to flash both slots to fix it. Yes, they could boot up with slightly different partitions, but the wifi was broken still. I believe the whole phone needed both slots flashed with each corresponding img simultaneously in order to resolve said issue. For whatever reason, i had both a and b screwed up. At the time i was trying to fix the ril and camera issues on the pixel 2 system image after flashing it on my essential. I want to get that working fully to release as a port.

Wouldn't it be easier to attempt to port the 2 or 3 features we don't have as a separate systemui.apk or framework-res.apk?
And use Magisk?
Since we don't have that fancy hardware photo rendering thingymabob
Edit: My phone is miraculously recovered, see last post for details. Big thanks to everyone throwing in suggestions! :highfive::good:
Edit 2: Here we go again... Had my phone set up for a day and after installing the "App Systemizer" Magisk module, the restart upon booting is back. Please help, is magisk causing this??
So, I'm reaching out because I'm now at a loss. I have no other ideas as to how I could fix my phone.
Background:
A few days ago, I was setting my alarm for work in the morning and I noticed the UI was extremely sluggish. I then locked my phone with the lock button and a notification saying "Powering down..." came up and proceeded to shut off. At this point, I knew I should re-flash my ROM/boot.img first. Didn't help, every boot up ended in the same "Powering down..." message and shutting down within 15 seconds of unlocking the device. At this point, I think to fully wipe and revert to stock. Now, I try to install the latest stock OOS via fastboot. Same result as before when I booted after the fastboot install. And this is where it ended... I tried to use the MSM tool and the device went BLACK with no response after that.
What I've tried:
- fastboot
-MSM Tool
- randomly pressing/holding all physical buttons in every order
- leaving the device plugged in to charge overnight
Conclusion:
Any suggestions other than what I've tried would greatly be appreciated. If, by some chance, my phone is truly bricked... would anyone know about whether T-Mobile would replace the device for me if I act clueless as to what happened to my device? lol, I'm on the Jump! plan, so this phone isn't even paid off yet.
Thanks!
Only time I saw this "powering down" issue was when I updated my phone without disabling my Magisk modules. That time I just removed the module using TWRP and the phone booted.
When you used the MSM tool did it complete successfully? It should take around 5 minutes to restore. Mine took 302 seconds on the dot. That should clear out any and all software issues. If the problem still persists after a successful MSM restore then my thoughts would be hardware damage.
I assume your battery is still working (?), and you can't reach TWRP either?
Have you tried this https://www.getdroidtips.com/oneplus-6t-black-screen-death-issue/ ?
When my 6T didn't respond at all. It would stay black no matter what but I knew it was charged. All I did was hold volume up and the power button for a good 15 to 30 seconds. Then it booted up

Well boys, she's up and running again!
Here's what happened:
- I left my phone on the stock charger (wall-block and cord) to make sure the battery wasn't just dead. This resulted in nothing, still no response from the device.
- Early in the morning, while getting ready for work, I continued to press all physical buttons in any and every order as well as holding different combinations of the buttons. Nothing.
- Gave up, took it off the charger, and tossed the damned thing to the side. I took my iPhone X to work and hated every minute of it lmao.
- I then get off work and decide to mash the physical buttons in a half fit-of-rage and half last-ditch-effort.. and BOOM! The screen flashes with a screen saying the battery is dead in a few different languages.
(I never plugged a device in to charge so fast... lol)
At this point, I decided to fastboot the latest stock OOS (.13) to both A/B partitions and she's like brand new!!!! I spent the day rooting and reinstalling everything today and I'm honestly relieved. :victory: All of my data is lost... pics of my baby sister after just being born and of my fiance But order has been restored.
tl;dr - My phone is fixed, don't ever underestimate the power of button mashing! :good:

I suggest you re-read the thread on the MSM tool. It will always work unless there is physical damage to your device. The reason you got the "No communication" error is because you were not in the Qualcom bootloader mode or whatever, not fastboot and not TWRP, there is a third mode accessible by holding certain buttons while plugging in your phone to the computer, in this mode the screen does not light up or anything. Read the thread, the steps are in there. I guarantee that if you can get the MSM tool to restore your phone everything will be working on it.
I even tested the MSM tool once. I wiped all partitions on the phone including the boot partition. The MSM tool can always fix a Software issue.
Edit: Didn't see that you said it was fixed already. My message here is still valid though. Some day you will have to use the MSM tool so it's a good idea to get familiar with it.

Well, like I said... I couldn't just change modes at will... I was legit stuck with the screen completely off and no response to any physical button being pressed. So as long as switching modes was impossible... so was the MSM tool. I read a F*CK-TON of threads before I posted this, I haven't seen anyone else post about being in my situation of not being able to boot into ANY kind of a mode... at all lol.
Bumping to ask for help again...
I had my phone all set up, stable OOS (.13) on both partitions. I installed the "App Systemizer" Magisk module in order to move an app to the system. When I rebooted after the module installation, the "Phone is rebooting..." message comes up after a few seconds post-boot and go straight to recovery every time.
I'm lost at this point. :/
You'd probably be better off seeking support in the mod thread.

I have never read about a really bricked OP6T, there is always a solution (and use MsmDownloadTool if nothing else work....).
Now, when you already have "bricked" your phone once and fixed it, you are asking the community for help again... It's obvious to me that you are fiddling around with your device without any clue, and creates a mess for yourself. Why?
Stay outside what you do not understand, and stick to stock version only in the future.
To try to help you, I suggest you use MsmDownloadTool.
WOOOOOOOW.
So this whole time it was Magisk. I never knew about Magisk Manager for recovery. That thing is a MUST HAVE.
So what happened was the new Magisk update broke a few modules I use daily. After using MM to disable every module one-by-one, I found the culprit.
The thing that always gets me is the A/B partition BS. But I guess Magisk was really the pain in my ass!
Closing thread for good, thanks to everyone giving suggestions!!! :good:

So, sell your OP6t and buy an iPhone - problem solved.

That systemize tool is not very stable in my experience. There is two location's of system apps in my experience which is most always only about at least half correct a little less than half the time. Is that if you use something like MiXplorer and move the apk into either system apps or priv apps then reboot it is much easier to do than rely on scripts that may not be setup for the device you are using. It shouldn't take any longer than 25.89 seconds to manually move an app.

WOOOOOOOW.
So this whole time it was Magisk. I never knew about Magisk Manager for recovery. That thing is a MUST HAVE.
So what happened was the new Magisk update broke a few modules I use daily. After using MM to disable every module one-by-one, I found the culprit.
The thing that always gets me is the A/B partition BS. But I guess Magisk was really the pain in my ass!
Closing thread for good, thanks to everyone giving suggestions!!! :good:

Download the magisk uninstaller zip , put it on your internal storage
So when magisk modules messing up with your boot
Go to twrp, flash the uninstaller zip , reboot to twrp, reflash magisk and then you're be able to boot again to your rom ..

Thank you for the arrogance.
I have already tried to help you (twice, in this your own thread). Your arrogant answer tells me that the iPhone-comfort zone suite you best.
In short: you act as an imbecile (since I have experience of you, and have "discussed" with you, before outside this thread).
So, sell your OP6t and buy an iPhone - problem solved.

I suggest you re-read the thread on the MSM tool. It will always work unless there is physical damage to your device. The reason you got the "No communication" error is because you were not in the Qualcom bootloader mode or whatever, not fastboot and not TWRP, there is a third mode accessible by holding certain buttons while plugging in your phone to the computer, in this mode the screen does not light up or anything. Read the thread, the steps are in there. I guarantee that if you can get the MSM tool to restore your phone everything will be working on it.
I even tested the MSM tool once. I wiped all partitions on the phone including the boot partition. The MSM tool can always fix a Software issue.
Edit: Didn't see that you said it was fixed already. My message here is still valid though. Some day you will have to use the MSM tool so it's a good idea to get familiar with it.

The MSM Tool does not fix everything. The 6T I have is brand new was working fine until I installed LOS on A & B and deleted the persist partition. I have flashed the original stock rom as well as 3 other OOS roms. MSM Tool completes the flash no problem with no errors, but on every rom it only makes it to the boot screen and hangs. If the MSM Tool is supposed to fix this, then why isn't it getting fixed? I don't know what else to try to fix? Usually it fixes most problems for me, but on this occasion it is not.
Looking for any help or at least clues about what is wrong.
I was on ArrowOS 10, updated OTA to latest build two days ago, all was fine. Tonight it suddenly rebooted and when I unlock it, the desktop says the OS is loading, but it hangs, and then eventually reboots, bootlooping.
I had a working Nandroid backup, so I restored that from TWRP. Still cannot get the OS loaded. Wiped everything, even internal storage, backup still had same issue.
Then I tried reinstalling an older build of the ROM that I knew worked for me and I get stuck on the "Just a sec" after choosing a language. Eventually it reboots and hangs on the "Just a sec" before rebooting again. Wiped everything again and I tried another build of the same ROM, same problem. More wiping, tried Pixel Experience, same problem.
I'm thinking something is corrupted but I don't get any specific error messages so I'm not sure what to do. I repaired the data partition in TWRP, thinking that was the issue, but still cannot get any ROMs to load.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated as the phone is useless in this state. Thank goodness I have all my data backed up, but I really hope the phone is salvageable. Thank you.

Sounds not so good. I would try to fastboot flash the latest signed Motorola firmware.
Here's a link where you can find it and how to do it:

Thank you! That fixed it. Any idea what happened? Could it have been from the OTA update two days prior? I'd like to prevent it from happening again if possible.

First of all good to hear you've got everything up and working again. Difficult to say what caused the problem, best would be to give these informations to the ROM maintainer/developer because he knows best what is changed in his custom ROM/OTA compared to the original stock firmware.
I would think it has been the OTA update that caused the trouble, OTA's are problematic for manufacturers and even more for custom ROMs with a smaller userbase and less employees.
My advice would be to avoid OTA updates if possible, often it's better to (dirty) flash the whole ROM by hand if available.
But the exact reason is not easy to find out, as said check the ROMs thread or PM the maintainer.
If you're in a situation like you've been it's always a good idea to flash original stock firmware, it brings the device to the most stable and recommended state.

Okay, I was planning on dirty flashing the next update anyway. I usually do since OTA's often don't work for me, but this last one seemed like it was. I'm definitely notifying the developer. Thanks again!
