Need help, bricked my 3s

Was supposed to flash CM13 Rom. I did a full wipe including system via TWRP.
Before flashing I decided to reboot into recovery, but it didn't. Only gets stuck in the MI logo now. Can't boot into recovery anymore.
I can go into Fastboot mode. Tried flashing twrp via ADB but whenever i type 'adb devices' in command prompt it says device is offline.
Tried to enter EDL via ADB in fastboot mode, it gets stuck at 'waiting for device'.
When plugged in PC, it gets detected as USB ADB interface
Bootloader was unlocked prior, was on xioami.eu ROM before this. I have TWRP system backup of last ROM installed.
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction on what to do next. Very much appreciated, thank you.

Hi Supdow,
I was facing with the same issue and I also thought I bricked my phone... No worries. To solve it is very easy, just unlock your bootloader again with Mi UnlockTool. Than you have access to your recovery again.
Good luck!

Do I have to apply to unlock the bootloader again like the first time?

Was able to unlock bootloader again, but I still can't access recovery. I may have forgotten how to exactly do this since the last time I did it. What do i have to do after unlocking bootloader? I tried flashing TWRP via fastboot but it only gives me an error.

So you have a few options
1. Hold volume+ & - and power (if you have twrp)
2. Take fedosis twrp 3.1 and installer, put twrp 3.1 into extracted installer folder, then shift+right click on installer folder, open cmd, then type
fastboot flash recovery twrp_name.img
fastboot boot twrp_name.img (or do step 1)
3. Just flash dev/stable with miflash (recommendation: go into fastboot, then like step 2 go into cmd and type fastboot oem edl then flash mi rom)
Hope this helps

[Help][A2017G] SoftBrick only bootloader and stock recovery

Hi,
I have an A2017G which after trying linageos had the stock rom from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-guide-updates-to-stock-files-via-t3469484 TWRP and an unlocked bootloader. That worked ok, and I wanted to upgrade to the stock ROM 7.1. I installed this using TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71664539&postcount=29. But now when it boot's after the bootloader it's stuck showing a linux logo, and it won't boot Android.
In the bootloader (http://i.imgur.com/Os4vkwT.jpg) I can try to go to fastboot, but selecting that only reboots the phone. I can however select recovery and go to the stock recovery (http://i.imgur.com/PBj6y6X.jpg). From there I have tried to sideload (selecting Apply update from ADB and adb sideload rom.zip) the stock rom (http://www.ztedevice.com/support/detail?id=1170789A90BA42E18B3364B80C7F5A26), the previous rom I tried to install (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71664539&postcount=29) and another TWRP stock rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-kernel-stock-7-1-1-b02-based-a2017g-t3592470) but all fail at the very beginning saying "(adbd status 1) Installation aborted" (http://i.imgur.com/RzNSBtu.jpg).
I also tried to install linageos back using sideload but it fails ("failed to verify whole-file signature"). I believe that is because it's not the official rom and the stock recovery only accepts that.
ADB only works in sideload mode and fastboot doesn't (it loads the bootloader again).
Do you know how I should proceed? How could I install the stock rom, or TWRP again?
Thanks in advance.

Try it with this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-reinstall-twrp-root-update-to-t3578552
If you can't flash recovery with axon7toolkit try it with the last step "Get Fastboot" first. ZTE removed the fastboot mode in Nougat, so you have to flash another fastboot image.
If you can boot into fastboot again you can flash TWRP and from TWRP a rom.
Good luck!

Hi Darkem,
Thanks a lot, that actually worked. I was under the impression I wouldn't be able to install TWRP because I was only able to use the command "adb sideload update.zip" but other commands like "adb reboot edl" didn't work. But as it's said in the other post, pushing the three buttons of the phone set the phone into EDL mode. From there I was able to install TWRP.
Thanks a lot again

(A2017G) Hello. I no longer have access to fastboot because I flash a stock rom (Nougat) with the recovery stock and it has removed my modified bootloader, I managed to install twrp in edl mode but I still have no access to bootloader. What should I do please? Flash a stock rom (Marshmallow) here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/download-center-factory-images-ota-t3606547) to gain access to fastboot again (bootloader )? Thank you. Sorry translation from French to English with Google Translate

Granted I have the A2017U, but in stock recovery I can still access the phone memory with my pc. Why not download the stock rom from ZTE, put it on the phone memory, and flash it in the stock recovery?

Sorry, why do you want fastboot? If you're planning to relock the bootloader you'll need to be fully stock, which wouldn't be the case if you just installed a fastboot zip. Relocking the bootloader is probably the only thing that fastboot is mandatory for

I want to go back to ROM stock and bootloader locked but when I do not have access to the bootloader anymore I can not do the command "adb lock oem"

Without commands

Hello, I have an issue with TWRP.
When I reboot to system the next time that I want to enter recovery the phone doesn't enter to recovery, but after flashing it, it does. It says "Without Commands" instead of enter to TWRP. I tried to enter in it on fastboot mode. I installed TWRP 3.2.1 with 3.0.1 Vache.
And yes I already have unlocked the bootloader, I'm on November 1st security patch without root.
What can I do?
Regards to everyone :laugh:

Are you sure that the command you used was fastboot flash recovery twrpxxx.img? Also kingroot pc sometimes tries to install a custom recovery, it got rid of my stock recovery like that.

Can't install TWRP on OP6T

Hi - I am trying to reinstall TWRP on my OP6T after upgrading to OOS 10.3.0.
I am running Minimal ADB and Fastboot v1.4.3 on my Win10 PC. I have connected my phone to my PC, and entered Fastboot mode. The OP6T is detected when I do a fastboot devices command.
Next, I try doing a temporary Recovery Mode boot into TWRP with a fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-1-fajita.img command. This is where I run into a problem ... While the Minimal ADB and Fastboot window says that the TWRP image was sent to the OP6T, I am still stuck on the Fastboot screen, and the phone is locked up and doesn't reboot the image.
What is going wrong?

Thanks, @jp0469! This helps a lot!
Just to be clear (and to get to a successful conclusion without a bricked phone), I won't be installing a TWRP installer ZIP file after booting into this TWRP image (The old style method), but instead installing the same TWRP IMG file as a "Recovery RAM Disk", correct?

Need a little more info before you proceed.
I know you said that you're currently on Android 10.3.0
Are you rooted with Magisk? If not, are you planning on rooting?

I was rooted with Magisk, but that got lost when I did the 10.3.0 update. Definitely planning on TWRPing and rooting again, as long as it's safe.

Stick to good old ones...
Once booted in twrp via fastboot flash the installer zip. It has always worked and will always. Always latest version. And flash Magisk after.

Put the latest Magisk zip and TWRP installer (zip file) on your phone's internal memory if you don't already have them there. Now you can fastboot boot the TWRP img file (Q version). Next flash the TWRP zip to permanently install TWRP into recovery. Reboot back to recovery to make sure it worked and then flash Magisk to re-gain root.
Reboot

Thanks, guys - The only reason I asked about the alternate "RAM Disk" method was because it was listed as the installation method by the developer on the link that @jp0469 provided earlier.
I'll try the old-fashioned method, since y'all say that it works OK.

I have a brand new hp windows 10 PC and a new op6t converted to international version. Running pie latest oxygen os. I need to get minimal adb fastboot installed so I can install twrp and root.

I always install the latest directly from Google. There is a link on this page to the latest version of Windows ADB and Fastboot. Just unzip the file you download into a directory of your choice.

Everytime I try to boot twrp It says waiting on device. What's that mean

press volume down,up and power button same time for 10sec your phone will boot to bootloader mode.

After doing the fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-30-fajita-Q-mauronofrio.img in Fastboot Mode, I installed twrp-3.3.1-30-fajita-installer-mauronofrio.zip in the booted TWRP Recovery Mode, and everything is working fine again.

Hey I am running Android 10.3.7 and am having the same problem, I tried unofficial twrp linked abouve and still stuck on fastboot screen, I think I'm using abd 1.43, if twrp doesn't work is there an alternative? I'm newish to rooting I've rooted other phones but that was back in the good old days where it wasn't complicated. I am running a T-Mobile phone converted to international with bootloader unlocked

flashing oneplus one

howto flash the one without working volume controls??
is this possible?

Yes, it is possible. LineageOS has an option to boot to recovery or fastboot via the standard reboot dialogue.
You can also use adb commands "adb reboot recovery" or "adb reboot fastboot".

thanks for the reply. is there any manual to do so?
for im´m an absolute newbie on this. adb and faastboot are installed on my ubuntu machine.

Depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
Flash TWRP recovery? You may also use LineageOS recovery instead of TWRP if you want. Follow their instructions https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplusone.html
Flash LineageOS? Follow the wiki instructions https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/bacon/install
Beware that unlocking the bootloader will erase all data on the phone.

While in fastboot mode, you may boot into recovery using "fastboot reboot recovery". Almost there, good luck!

doesn't work on my ubuntu machine. "unkown rebbot target recvery..
i tried .guess i check it on my win machine.

You can also reboot to recovery from within the OS by using "adb reboot recovery". It should work if you were able to reboot to fastboot using this method.

unfortunately it does not work while being in fastboot mode.
adb says device 'null'not found..

Yes, you are supposed to use adb from whatever OS you have installed, CM, CyanogenOS, LOS, ...

but?
is flashing possible without being in fastboot mode? just using adb?

I understood that you had already flashed the recovery. Now you need to boot into the recovery to flash an OS.
Fastboot is used to flash the recovery.
Recovery is used to flash the OS.

yes i think that's it and therefore i had to reboot to recovery without working controls..

or is there another way?e.g adb sideload??

You have a working operating system installed? Cyanogenmod, LineageOS or something similar?
Use the power button to boot into the operating system. Then connect the phone to your PC and "adb reboot recovery".
