I have an unlocked sprint 850UM that's rooted w twrp and magisk..... Well was... I should say! Like a total noob I was trying to flash lineage on it according to a guide on an unknown SITE. Well Whole device got erased and somewhere in my haste I deleted my twrp backup. So now I'm stuck with a device with no OS. I can still get into twrp. Can still get into download mode. Can still get into edl. But won't boot. The sprint variant seems to be impossible to find online. No kdz. Nothing. Can anyone help. Thank you in advance...

Sorry about that, how do you get into edl mode? I can't get there with sprint 20j..... If I could, maybe I could back up the image?
Also maybe try a kdz of a similar model

Edl is somewhat easy. The phone should be off and you must plug. It in to computer while holding volume. Up and. Power The. Only way to know for. Sure. If. It worked. Is. You will hear the computer sing when phone is connected. Screen will. Remain black. AND YOU MUST CONFIRM. IN DEVICE MANAGER THAT YOUR DEVICE. IS. LISTED AS QUALCOM 9008 UNDER "PORTS". SO YOU MUST HAVE THE QUALCOMM. DRIVER INSTALLED FIRST. Hopefully it works. For. You. And. If it does. Try to DM. Me a twrp back up. Good. Luck

I was trying to install MIUI on my s4 but it showed up that the software/kernel was not authrorized so I reflashed PAC and saw on another forum that I should use ez unlock to unlock it it (which I did) and then tried to flash it again after wiping and now my phone won't turn on (no recovery or odin either). Help please!
Edit: Okay now this is bad, I just checked the forum and I installed a sprint miui rom (*facepalm*)

to enter download/odin mode from a power off state hold power and volume down. To get to a power off state, pull your battery.
If you can't get to odin mode...I have no idea how you can fix that.
SO i'm basically screwed

So it's 100% non-responsive? I guess you could call verizon and beg them to help.
Is that really the only option, I think it's because I flashed a sprint rom so there has to be some way to fix it right?

If you can't get the phone to do ANYTHING. Not even odin or recovery modes. What other options would you expect there to be?
You can try to get it to do whatever it does when you press the power button while attached to your computer to see if you can get ADB to recognize the device. If so you could potentially force it to go into recovery.
I understand that but I still don't see why flahsing a wrong rom completely disabled the phone

Lol even if you don't understand, your phone still isn't going to work. If you can't get into Download Mode or Recovery, You can send it to get Jtag repaired at a number of places. This is signifcantly cheaper and they can unbrick your phone.
Hi guys I need your help.
I just got my Redmi Note 3 Pro 32GB. It was on official China ROM from what I know. I tried to unlock the bootloader without permission using this guide http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html but when I flashed the ROM using MiFlash I got an error. I later restarted the phone and then all of a sudden my WLAN, Bluetooth and SIM would not work at all. So I tried again and now I get this error saying (Reached end of file... Receiving Hello Packets).
I can't flash a ROM from MiSuite through recovery as it always says it fails.
I'm at a loss here stressing out for days trying to get this to work and install CM13 on it. Was really excited but now this phone kind of pisses me off everytime I look at it. If I could fix the problems and flash CM13, this would be a great phone. Guess after this I'll probably not purchase another Xiaomi, nightmare to unlock and stuff.
All your help is appreciated. Thanks!
Try use Miflash too to wipe it with latest beta or stable rom.

Unlock your bootloader, then open your phone in fastboot mode. miflash works in fastboot mode too. Flash your phone. If the wifi problem is still present, then flash a radio package. PM me i will send the link if the problem is still present.

Download the latest miflash. Try to flash a fastboot rom via edl mode. Ise 64 bit os. Make sure driver signature is disabled. Once you have properly flashed the rom, open miunlocl and then proceed normally.
When i revert back to miui from cm13, i encountered network and wifi problem. I unlocked bootloader via unlocktool and it unlocked like a charm.

Just tried that again. Whenever I use miflash I get error receiving hello packet. On miflash beta I get cannot read COM port.
I've disabled the driver signatures.
Qualcomm drivers and phone drivers are all installed correctly. Just nothing is working

Try using windows 7. It has higher success rate. Also try to download some other version of fastboot rom. Maybe the rom has problems. As for your network and wifi related problem, it can be fixed by flashing a different nonhlos.bin file

Unfortunately, yes you have to unlock first. Keep trying the edl mode. I am sure its either software problem or windows problem.

Not going well man. Still same problems no matter the ROM. If I try the same method on fastboot they tell me the bootloader is locked. I don't have access to another PC so I can't really try out. Looks like I'm all out of options and this phone is pretty much a brick. Maybe I'll buy another one and try again but... goddamn

As long as you phone does not have any hardware fault and can boot in either edl mode or fastnoot mode, then it can be repaired. Keep patience. Better yet take it to xiaomi service centre, they'll do it for you. But as far as i know, edl mode can help you properly flash. Keep patiece buddy

I tried to update my oneplus x to a new version of resurrection remix (the android 7.1 version) by flashing through twrp. Long story short I tried to update the recovery twrp and also update my bootloader but it all went to **** and now my phone is bricked. If I try and boot the phone into either the OS or into recovery I get a boot loop where the oneplus logo appears, the phone vibrates then reboots. I can get into fastboot but when I try and flash either a rom or recovery it tells me I can't because my 'device is not unlocked'. I know my bootloader was unlocked previously but am thinking that by trying to install a new rom it has re-lock or something and I'm not sure if this means my phone is now a paper weight..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
edit: This problem is fixed. However twrp won't flash/boot correctly now..
Follow this to the letter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3272108
I did basically the same thing you did and flashed a rom that was compatible with the old bootloader only and it "locked" my bootloader which made the recovery and ROM useless. It took me a few hours to get the device to actually be recognized correctly by the computer and program but it worked. You may also need to google since I remember needing to download basically the same program but from a different site.

Thanks for the reply! I think I may have come across this but wasn't sure if I'd get myself into more trouble since my fastboot is working (it says it's for devices who have nothing). Rekcon it's still my best option?

I tried it and worked perfectly. Thanks heaps!

You're welcome! Like I said I was in the same situation. It kept rebooting and when I got into fastboot my heart sank when it said "Device is locked"
So I now have recovery working as well as fastboot (unlocked this time). But I cannot for the life of me get twrp to work correctly. One version out of like 5 I've tried works but won't flash any roms; I read that could be from a bad version.. All others seem to flash from fastboot but when I try to boot I get the dtb not found error. I don't understand why I cant get it to work, this should be the easy part

dtb not found error means its not compatiable with your bootloader. Did you try official twrp ? And you ever updated to new bootloader?

Hello Folks!
I recently updated the BL of my OPX which was running Ressuerection Remix 5.1.1,and TWRP from blu_spark.Im pretty sure i had unlocked the bootloader but after I updated the BL using this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-update-bootloader-firmware-to-t3478917.
But now its stuck at One Plus logo and when ever i try to turn it off,it vibrates and turns back on.I cant access the recovery either please help.BTW i can access the fastboot.
Please help
**EDIT**Just followed the Mega-umbrik guide and now its all perfect
Because you didn't update your TWRP I believe. Also the mega unbrick guide was overkill if you have fastboot but at least your up and running again.

I also had the same problem as OP yesterday.
I had to do the mega unbrick guide, because fastboot can't do anything in that state either. Flashing was not possible (error message: device not unlocked, cannot flash or erase), = bricked
For everyone who can't do anything than entering fastboot (e.g. no recovery, restarting every second) the mega unbrick is necessary. (At least it was in my case.)
Installing the drivers for the unbrick guide was also a pain, because my OS didn't recognized my device in the first place. I had to play with the hardware keys to get it recognized.

My apologies didn't read guess yeah bootloader locked nothing would work except mega unbrick guide. One trick I've read maybe help someone is rolling back the driver think for Windows 10.

Yeah I learned to be very careful with what to flash and what not. I hope I will never get my devices bricked again, lol.
i successfully flashed twrp on my a10 yesterday thanks to the help of some users on here. the plan was and still is to rpelace the os with a non google one. everything went ok. the phones was and still is oem unlocked, the phone reports as it did yesterday that there was a none samsung offical software on there so i assume twrp is still present for but for some reason i can't boot into it. booting with power and volume up goes into the old recovery men with no mention of twrp, and the volume up/down boot goies into the old download menu. do i need to reflash twrp or am i missing something?
Much gratitude to you.
