Oneplus 3 Problem after unbrick - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hello, Good Day to all! I wont take too much of your time but please help me!
My Oneplus 3 suddenly bricked itself, I dont know how or why but it just powered off and then when I tried to boot it up it was hard bricked. Now I've managed to fix it by following the Mega Unbrick guide for Oneplus 3 and it boots up, but the problem is it crashes during boot, and it randomly crashes after a few minutes which then leads to the boot logo crash, I have to "let it rest" so to speak for a few minutes so that it would bypass the boot crashes. Once it got past the crashes some apps are not responding like Twitter, Messenger and so on. Stock apps are fine it's the newly downloaded ones that are not responding, I tried numerous factory resets using the stock recovery and TWRP but no luck.
I am on Nougat 7.1.1 on the latest OxygenOS version, Unlocked bootloader with systemless root. I haven't tried flashing a custom rom the only thing I tried to flash was the Stock Rom. I also noticed that the WiFi and the Data/Signal was particularly weaker since the messages would not load, I need to actually check the app for it to sync. When I got Messenger somehow working, the messages would not even load up.
Any ideas what the problem is? Any help is deeply appreciated, Thanks in Advance!

This sounds like an hardware issue, have you tried method 2 of the unbrick tool, perhaps you could try to re-download it, have you unzipped it? If it boots let it boot and then upgrade to a new OOS version and then you can do whatever you want. If it doesn't work after you followed my suggestions you might wanna contact Oneplus, don't worry even though your bootloader is unlocked you still have full warranty..

I did the method 2 of the unbrick tool, I've done it like twice or thrice now. I have the latest version of OOS, I am afraid to flash a custom rom because after it flashes in TWRP it immediately crashes, it does not even give me a chance to clear the dalvik or reboot. It crashes no reboot or anything.
But thank you I didn't expect anyone would reply well I regained my faith in humanity in forums
Sidenote: What custom rom would you suggest? or is the stock rom better?

I would suggest VertexOS. It's simple and really fast, EAS and Voxpopuli takes peformance per watt to the next level, if you like feature you might try Zenixx RR.

Unfortunately that is out of the question, there is no Service Center for Oneplus where I live so I cant get it checked ASAP

OP3 random restart

sometimes my oneplus 3 restart without reason, i have installed the oxygenOS 3.2.7 do someone else have this issue , its just me or? ill post a battery log also.
its really annoying and dunno what do =/
My congrats for the great autonomy ?
The info you've sent are not enough to analyze your reboot issues.
1) Have you rooted your device?
2) If yes, are you running SuperSU, Kingroot, Phh's Superuser? What version?
3) What the apps that are getting root permissions?
4) Are you using Xposed? What version (e.g. v86.6 systemless with Magisk v8, the v86 stock)?
5) Have you tweaked or replaced the stock kernel?

Much strange.
I'm having an heavily modded OP3 with OOS v3.2.7, never encountered instability.
You should try factory reset asap, there's nothing you may do, since device is completely stock and works for most users.
I can't give you more help, sorry ?

Not, because OOS is working well for most users, so there is no "fix reboot issues" in any todo list.
Go with factory reset, when you find the needed time.
If problems still persist, contact OnePlus and explain the issue.
I think that some upgrade maybe the cause of your troubles, due to massive change of stuff that the end-users can never see.
You know that Samsung updates often make device slower or keep crashing some system app?
Why excluding that OnePlus have done (involuntary) the same?
Updates are not always guarantee of stability, especially with firmware different than Google stock.

Flash another room
Seems to be an issue with OOS, I had the same problem, and flashed MIUI 8 and had 0 reboots. But when I flashed Fredoom OS based on OOS 3.2.7 my phone kept rebooting.

Are you using a case? I had a cheap eBay clear case on my phone and it wasn't moulded properly over the power button, there was no indent on the inside for the button to sit in so it used to turn off in my pocket and back on later and produced battery graphs similar to yours.
Hope this is a help.

Did your problem solved? I am having same problem.
I have the same problem. I am currently on 3.2.8 and also had this problem on beta 9. Few days ago it happened in front of me, the phone was on the desk nothing running in the background. That was kind of the soft reboot, didn't triggered my locked sim, (my sim card is locked needs to enter PIN when phone startup) and after that I checked Settings=>About Phone=>Status, the uptime didn't affected too, seemed nothing was happened. I think this also happened to some other people but they just didn't realize it.

Same for me. Is your problem solved? Please help me. It is really annoying. I have Pin setup for restart so when boot happens in night, if no input for pin phone stays off.
Can this be related to SIM carrier:Radio drivers?

Try using non 4G/LTE SIMS.
I am facing the same problem.
My device is at service center.
Day one:No reboots.I asked them to put some SIM & then check.
I did that after reading your post. No luck. Are they replacing it? How many days since it is in service center?
Facing problem from last 2 weeks.
I submitted once last week.They clean flashed older rom.Worked fine for one day,then reboots started again.
Then this technician had remote session and flashed the rom OnePlus3_16_A.17_161118(OOS 3.2.8):Reboot frequency went too high.
Had to go to Service center for diagnose. 2 days now.No proper response from them.
I had the same issue from several days now, wiped cache, did factory reset, wiped data, nothing worked, I read somewhere that let battery drain down to 0 and then full charge removes electricity or static from the phone, and that may cause random reboots, gonna try that

Seriously? That sounds like one of those hilarious Microsoft Answers sort of posts! Running the battery down will not get rid of "electricity or static from the phone", apart from anything else the battery protection circuit would not allow the battery to drop to zero volts as it's not good for li-on batteries.
The Oneplus 3 seems to like to soft restart, mine sometimes decides to do it 3-4 times a night (rarely during the day) and then is fine for awhile. Tell tale sign is the battery graph showing large gaps in the usage pattern. I would suggest that there is an inherent firmware issue judging by the number of people reporting the same issue on a number of different forums.

Unable to install latest M8s OTA update v2.20.401.1

Hello,
I'm new to this forum, and I could not find anything related to this issue. I'm successfully downloading the latest update and when I try to install it, the installation goes up to 25% and I get the red exclamation mark afterwards. The phone then restarts, and I'm back at the beginning, where I have to re-download the update all over again. I don't have any custom ROMs flashed on my device, it's just like I bought it, the latest update that I made was the update to Android v6.0.1. Current software number is v2.10.401.1, if that is of any importance. I've factory reset the phone, and tried applying the update on a fresh phone, but it still won't work.
Also, while I'm here, I might just ask... I'm getting frequent app crashes/unresponsive app, mostly on the apps that I'm using the most, Facebook and Instagram. Facebook is more stable, crash/unresponsiveness does not happen very often, but for Instagram it's always happening after scrolling 3-4 images. Also, the Sense Home app is always getting unresponsive after a phone restart, and I have to restart it several times until it gets back to normal, since it cannot recover from it, I'm not seeing the home screen at all.
I was very satisfied with my phone before the update to Android 6, but after upgrade, I'm frequently having these minor problems, another one of which is the SD card "unexpectedly removed" error, which is happening when I open up the gallery or the file manager. I'm running low on patience, I really hoped that this last update will fix things, but I'm very close to slamming the phone off the wall, that's how frustrated I am. Please help
Well I'm no expert here but I've also experienced the freezes in such apps and even normal restart didn't work, so I had to force restart it. This happened in marshmallow and lollipop both so i tried removing my sd card and freezes were gone. In my case it was the sd card, so you can try that.
And for the update check if your bootloader is locked, assuming you bought it refurbished or used, the previous owner might have done some tinkering.
Hope you find the solution soon :good:

If you are willing to, you can unlock the bootloader from http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ and flash a stock sense ROM or other custom ROMs and that might solve the app crash problem.

I've already tried removing the SD card, and I've seen slight improvement in the app crashes, but they were still occurring. My bootloader is locked, but I'm going to unlock it now and flash a new ROM, I can't play around with it anymore

Before you do that .. as there is almost no custom ROM available for M8s except CM which is in progress, I don't suggest to unlock bootloader.. try to find and install 2.10.401.1 RUU
Installing RUU will usually fix this kind of problem if the data partition is sort of corrupted but not damaged.

If thats what you want to do I'd suggest you try cm12.1 . Unfortunately its the only ROM available to us but its way better than stock in terms of performance imho. But do that if you're willing to sacrifice some things such as double tap to wake and also any 3rd party camera apps, because they crash alot and yeah no boomsound. :fingers-crossed:

I'll try with @ckpv5 suggestion, to install 2.10.401.1 RUU and then try OTA upgrade to 2.20.401.1. If it fails, or if it succeeds but apps are still crashing as they were before, I'll definitely switch to cm, whatever version is stable at the moment. Double tap to wake is really annoying and I don't need it, I don't use 3rd party camera apps, and I guess I'll have to live without boomsound Thanks for the tip, though.

which I downloaded from https://ruu.lalleman.net/ -> Firmware (Expert) -> Firmware Crypted (Original HTC)
I'll wait for you to confirm that this is the one that I need, before I continue with the procedure (rename, put to SD, boot to bootloader, fastboot)
does someone have stock marshmallow twrp backup. I accidentally deleted mine and now stuck with cm only

Since you did the same process, I thought maybe you took a backup of the rom after you updated it.
I made a mistake by not taking a backup of it so now it is a problem for me :/
Edit: damn! thanks anyway. I have a long night in front of me clearly. I hate this phone :/
V4A is not working anymore with the latest update. Is it me or everyone has the same problem.

lenovo zuk z2 plus goes into bootloop after opening the camera

hey everyone
so i flashed lineage os 7.1 on my zuk z2 and everything was working perfect
after that i tried aicp 13.1 nightly and it was also working flawlessly but problem arrived as i used the gcam port for hdr+ in snapdragon 820 devices, initially the camera worked fine and everything was working normal but suddenly after some time whenever i opened gcam my phone hanged and then went into fastboot mode itself(the notification light is on ) and after i rebooted the phone it went into bootloop.
then after doing too many reboots finally my phone started and i changed the rom as i thought it might be a rom problem but in every rom whenever i tried to use gcam or even whatsapp default camera my phone suffered the same problem every time so i reflashed the stock zui firmware but the problem still persists as whenever i uses my stock cam or any other camera my phone goes into bootloop
when i searched the web i wasn't able to find a single thread related to my problem
really worried
please help
any help would be appreciated
*sorry i'm a noob to all this flashing etc*
also the bootloop occurs only after using the camera otherwise everything works fine
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE HELP URGENTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very strange issue. Dont know why that happens to you.
Which camera are you using? Try BSG port, v1a. Im using it and it works great. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ubVpPrrZRkvVPH9qT7XzlttwcCVPxUcM/view?usp=sharing
Also try this, which i did also. Flash with qfil ZUI Oreo 243 version, you have thread for this, Jintu jose is OP.
It didnt lock my bootloader, and it didnt encrypt my phone memory.
Flash TWRP
Flash latest AEX Oreo
Flash GZR gapps
Magisk (you have to do it two times, once when u install rom, let it boot, than again flash in recovery)
Install google camera i posted and try.
This setup is working great for me.
I've tried every possible version of gcam but it happens always
Now the main problem is that I can't even use my stock camera app as whenever camera opens it goes into bootloop
I've flashed the stock ROM using qpst tool
But the problem persisted
Can anyone please tell me what should I do?
Is this a problem with my kernel?????
What should I do?
I am currently using aex latest version ?
Thanks for the reply but please help

Than I would say it is hardware problem man
If you have warranty, flash stock rom, I think 1.9 lock bootloader, and reclaim warranty
I say this because I never had this problem, ever, on any custom rom nor stock

Will let everyone know about the problem if I found one
the same thing that happen with mi zuk z2 but changing the rom to a another witch no uses the lineage os kernel solve the problem
I have the same problem the camera only works on the stock Android 6, maybe someone will find a solution for the guarantee it's impossible to hand over the phone purchased with AliExpress.
Hi, i have a similar issue with my ZUK, i have changed ROM, and after flashing it went to constant bootloop. i thought it might have been an issue with the rom, so i flashed again, but the problem stayed. Phone started and gapps were installed ok. It worked well for a bit and then it went to bootloop again (last time was when i switched from camera to video). I have formated data, to start clean, flashed rom again, but this time it got stuck on the ''android'' logo and doesnt seem to go further. Phone is recognisable by my PC and i have access to internal memory.
I have same problem now ...nothing working for me ..please help

Yes, unfortunately it turned out that the battery has been damaged and that was just nit enough voltage to startup the phone, I have replaced the battery myself for cost of approx 15 usd. It is very easy to open the phone ad replace it, as all tools are included with battery, you just need a hairdryer to melt the acrylic tape holding the glass back of the phone.

Sir but in my case I can go to twrp recovery easily, without any issues.
After your battery replacement the phone was back to normal self, i.e the room you previously installed was working without any issues?
Or did you had to use qfil and start from stock 2.5 zui and then re unlock bootloader and install twrp and custom ROM?

Phone gets bricked no matter what ROM and recovery is flashed, stuck on 3.1.2 OOS

I request all to first please understand the problem and give me suggestions as this gets slightly bonkers.
Thanks in advance.
So I had my OnePlus3 A3003 repaired for water Damage from a professional non OnePlus service called Yaantra. They basically replaced the Mother Board is what they say.
I have no reason to doubt, the Phone works flawlessly, everything is working nicely, from the camera to the battery performance and charging and SOT, the performance is as expected.
Only it runs on Oxygen OS 3.1.2.
Now I first got an OTA update notification for 4.5.1 and I immediately started downloading and attempted install. It went through the whole cycle of installing smoothly and after the first reboot, it splashed a linux Penguin Logo and then turned off, never turned back on. I manually pressed the power button after a long time but it again showed the Penguin for a few seconds and powered off. I figured that the phone is bricked. (this time my boot loader was Locked)
I had to follow the 2nd Method of the Mega Unbrick guide and got my phone up and running back on 3.1.2
I still get the OTA update but this time i thought I'll download the latest stable build of 5.0.1 and install it via ADB sideload. with the appropriate recovery
The phone got bricked again.
Then I thought of Installing regular TWRP after unlocking bootloader and flashed 5.0.1, No luck. had to unbrick it again.
Then I tried bluspark.
Then I flashed Experience OS with the latest firmware. It went through the entire cycle and installed but this time after it turned off and on again I was greeted to a new error.
it was in red saying "Battery does not match" in English and then in some Asian language. I was able to unbrick from that state as well.
After that I have tried Lineage OS but with same result. I get "Battery does not match"
Then I unbricked the device and i tried #*808# and checked Charger option. it says "itech_3000mah" that doesn't sound original, is it?
Basically no matter what I flash my phone gets bricked.
With Custom ROMs I get the "Battery does not match error"
With Official ROM I get the penguin Logo.
I've tried all sorts of Combination of Recovery and ROMs to no luck.
So far the only thing I haven't tried is flashing another Kernal.
Have to come back to 3.1.2 after unbricking which works flawlessly every time with no problems AT ALL. I wish to upgrade to the latest Official build of OOS (but i am ok with unofficial as well)
Alright, this is a new one.
Have you checked your system information with the app "AIDA64"? Download that app, and post a screenshot of what's under the System tab.

Okay, although AIDA64 doesn't indicate that your Motherboard is a Chinese mockup Mobo, I still suspect that the "Penguin" logo is some kind of third-party under the hood software.
Have you tried the unbrick tool which includes 5.x.x?

Oh I thought there was only the 3.1.2 available in the unbrick tool.
I would appreciate a link for the 5.x.x unbricking tool.
Which should hopefully include all he required firmware and recovery stuff.
What are other ways I can know if my Mobo is a Chinese mock-up?

Hi firstly, you shouldnt have trusted your OnePlus3 with 3rd party service like Yaantra. After service they will deny any changes to your hardware and ask stupid questions "isn't your phone receiving call when we gave it back?"
After seeing your posts, it seems that they didn't flash the device properly. I seriously doubt your battery has been Jacked and replaced with some 3rd party mockup.
A simple search in forums can lead you to 5.x.x unbricking tool.
And your final question. If your phone doesn't bootup even after this, most probably you're dealing with some kind of mockup in the chipset.
Did you solve this issue? If so post how here so that others can use it later.
Thanks

I am downloading this msm recovery
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...k-phone-msmdownloadtool-v3-0-6-t3575801/page2
and try for now.
I'll post my experience soon.
An official technician from OnePlus told me that fake batteries don't work well / won't find with OnePlus at all so there is 99% chance that it's not a mock-up.

The penguin is the old school linux kernel panic screen. It used to come on when kernel panic prevented the device from booting.
What I am thinking is that is not the right board for that device, which explains the battery error. The custom rom battery error could be gotten around I am sure. Just so it boots.

I see, do you know how can I get around the battery error?
And should I flash a new kernal to get around the Linux penguin warning?
What are my options other than the mega unbricking with a newer version of OOS

Sure. You will have to hook up the device to the pc while it is trying to boot and grabbing a logcat. This will tell you exactly what is failing. The build a rom that goes around the issue.
To be honest. I don't know what will work for sure but the logcat will tell you just what you need to know.
Piece of advice. If you are gonna do repairs like this. Do them yourself. Even if you fail you will be sure of the parts at least which you can't be with amature repair techs. Too many use knock off parts.

Am not that much of an expert. I don't know about using logcat but I just read a little about it and am going to try.
I'll post my experience soon.
Should I also take the phone to an official OnePlus technician and ask them to check if the chipset/battery is a mock up, they should be able to tell right?

That depends on how good they are but to be honest if it is a really good fake then it may fool even the best. But it cant hurt.
Actually I got stuck in the same situation. I also tried different ROMs but with custom ones I get the Replace Battery error and with official Roms I get the penguin. Is there any way to get rid of the Battery error by modifying the kernel or something?
You've a motherboard of OP3T not OP3
Try oneplus 3t full ota

OP3 phone is un-usable please help!

Hi everyone,
I have an issue with my wife's OP3 that is driving me nuts.
Her phone runs stock OS without any changes but with an unlocked bootloader (just to be on the safe side i like to have an unlocked bootloader on all our devices).
I'm not sure if its related but I'm including it anyways she was playing a game on her phone and then she received a call and she answered it and tried to switch the call to speakerphone and the phone started rebooting right after booting the OS after 2-5 sec i would say "factory data reset" (see attached screenshot) and would reboot to the recovery.
then i would boot the phone again and the issue repeats itself.
so i used fastboot boot twrp.img to boot a recovery image and run a nadroid backup to a USB OTG just in case the phone is really hosed or whatnot.
I downloaded stock zip from oneplus's site and flashed it again from TWRP just to make sure its not some funky issue that happened to the os.
I even factory reset the phone from stock recovery and the issue would happen on the new phone setup wizard.
after a bunch of fiddling around I've flashed LineageOS 16 nightly and the phone boots normally and is fully usable but when i try to make or receive a call the phone app freezes and then crashes also sound doesn't seem to work when i try to play videos from youtube for example.
Any ideas what is the issue and how i can resolve it ?
thanks a bunch !!

Take a backup of your personal files and then wipe system, data, internal storage and both caches. Then flash OOS 5.0.8 and without adding any apps, check the calling function. If it still happens, then most likely a hardware issue.

If it's a hardware problem which part should I replace?
I already ordered a battery before this issue started and I was planning on replacing it once it gets here maybe I can replace one of the parts in order to resolve this issue

You will need to replace the main board if the issue persist.

Hmmm quite strange that you're having the same issue.
I didnt find a solution yet i gave her a temp replace phone that we had in a drawer somewhere.
Did your wife do anything out of the ordinary when it happened? are you having the same issue that LOS works but stock rom shows factory reset?
thanks.

No, She did not do anything out of the ordinary. But weirdly I have exactly the same things happening. Lineage works but no sound. Everything else factory resets. I have tried quite a few ROM'swithout any luck. So far the only ROM which worked for some time(1day) was 6.0.1 . I have spent quite a long time on this flashing various ROM and dont know what to do now.

Update: @ireaper4592 might have a point here. I have gone one level up and I tried msm v3.0 tool, thus doing a complete reinstall including firmware. The factory resetting stopped but the sound was not working (I thought that it could be the ROM and the security patches). So I updated to the latest ROM available from Oneplus and evrything has been working since. I did this last night so not sure how long this is going to stay like that. I will give it some time and update later. Wife is using it now!
what you will need to do is download the oneplus 3 recovery tool and put the phone into qualcolm mode and restore the phone that way. here is a link https://www.androidexplained.com/oneplus-3-unbrick-return-stock/

That tool/procedure will reset your phone. So you will lose everything on the phone. Take a backup beforehand.
The link posted in the post above yours contains the guide as well as the tools. It also has links to the original guide here on XDA.

I was about to update here with good news but wife's phone went back to restart loop the next day. I am not sure but probably triggered by her installing whatsapp and facebook. I put the phone away because I have already spend quite a lot of time behind this. Is your's still going? Please list the step by step procedure. Thanks
download from here https://mega.nz/#!zsdnkCDA!UyJRwbJK6kHTDpmesBYao0knaOTwbgu4dSiokV1XLYU then turn off phone run tool,connect phone with volume up pressed,should have a com in the list if so just click start thats it and wait for it to turn green or device restart
