I broke mit Pixel 3 !? - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I've rooted my Pixel 3 as described here in the forum.
Everything went well and I was booting in TWRP without any problems; Bootloader is still unlocked. I didn't installed a custom ROM or anything else. After I've selcted "restore backup" my backup (which I've made before with TWRP) my phone is now messed up:
It's starting in Bootloader (Warning Screen for unlocked Bootloader) and than is switching on an white screen with Google logo for ca. 3-4 sec. and than it's jumping back into the Bootloader in an endless Loop.
Any idea what I can do to rescue my phone?
Thanks, Mags

In bootloader mode can you get your computer to recognize the phone. If so, download the latest update from Google website and install using adb. This will wipe the phone but will get it restored. I've had to do this in my pixel 2 before. I don't have the pixel 3 yet as I just ordered it today.

You can also edit the flash-all file to remove the -w and not completely wipe your phone. This way, your data will remain and it still resets the important factory stuff.

Hold down the power button until the phone completely shuts off. Hold power while holding the volume down button (start by holding the volume down and then immediately start holding the power button - it's is technically holding both at the same time but starting with volume down just a moment before keeps you from pressing power first). That should get you to fastboot.

ADB doesn't work when booted to the bootloader. It only works when you're booted to the OS. To see if the computer recognizes the phone when in the bootloader, use fastboot devices instead of adb devices.

Holding the power button didn't had any effect, but holding volume - and holding power button at the same time was starting the bootloader and so I was now able to start TWRP Manager.
So if you could help me from here to fix the OS would be great, e.g. is there any chance to copy the original OS from Google or an custom ROM from my computer (e.g. I wotk on MAC and is there a way to copy via Terminal?) or does TWRP offers any way to reset/ reinstall?

Sorry, but I do not know the Mac commands, but if you are in Fastboot and the device shows/connects it is just a matter of running the flash-all and resetting. If you are not connecting in Fastboot but can get into TWRP, I would start with a reset in TWRP.

The commands on the MAC are almost the same and with your flash-all (flash.all.sh Mac Command) it worked very well with the factory image from google. Now I'm back in the race and my P3 is running again.
Thank you all guys!

Excellent news. On another note... if all you need from TWRP is to install Magisk to root, you do not need to permanently install TWRP. Just fastboot boot the [twrp].img file, install the Magisk .zip and keep stock recovery.

From messing around, it seems that trying to restore system from twrp is messed up. Data backup works fine. The only other way I got bootlooped was by messing with boot, vbmata, and vendor partitions. Out of those three, I think boot is the most likely to get messed up by normal users. I know this is sorted now, but in the future try to just reflash boot.img and see if it boots.
-The vbmeta and vendor thing is specific because I need to get the radio to work here.

[Q] getting to hboot with fastboot flag

You all probably noticed that if the Settings->Power->Fastboot setting is enabled, Power+Vol_down will not work and the phone will do a standard boot. Is there anyway to force booting the phone into hboot? If not, this is a possible way to get bricked in case your ROM is messed up and the phone's last mode was to Fastboot.

That's exactly why we leave fastboot off in the settings
Maybe I don't understand the question. Could you not just use:
adb reboot bootloader
or
adb reboot recovery

You can only use those if adbd is running which means you either were successful in booting into recovery (and you can't do it as power+vol_down doesn't work), or you have a working ROM (see the OP).

I wish it was that simple. The ability to get to the menu seems to be related to the bootloader's ability to access /data. If the bootloader can't get to /data it looks to defaulting to NOT showing the hboot menu. I've noticed this on my phone. I have my phone encrypted which doesn't allow access to /data until you decrypt it. If you cancel out of the decrypt prompt then reboot the phone, you will not be able to power+vol_down (though I never changed the fastboot setting).

If you are rooted you can use the app quick boot to reboot to hboot without having to do the shutdown but.

See the OP. Assuming your ROM is messed up and is not booting (happens a lot when your'e a flashoholic), you can't run any apps or even get to adb. I've never seen a phone that will not allow you to always be able to cold-boot into the bootloader. This is a serious problem for folks that plan to experiment with lots of ROM flashing.

In that case you hold power and volume buttons until the phone tells you it's going to restart or vibrates or you see the screen flash. Depending on what mode you are in it will do different things. At this point you can release power and move to only volume down.
If timed correctly you will land in hboot. Practice makes perfect.

dottat, thank you for your post. You are correct. This requires quite a bit of proper timing to succeed. To recap: In case you are in fast-boot power mode and/or have your phone encrypted and power+vol_down doesn't get you into hboot:
1. Power down the phone.
2. Hold volume_up and power.
3. Keep holding the above, you should see the animated HTC splash show up.
4. Keep holding the above, the screen will go dark.
5. Once the screen goes dark, quickly release power and volume_up and press volume_down.
6. If timed perfectly, you should land in hboot menu.
Thanks again to dottat for pointing it out.

OPO stuck in Recovery(!) - no fastboot available

I recently broke the screen and the touchscreen of my OPO and bought a new Glass+LCD+Digitizer+Middle Frame from Aliexpress. I just installed all the parts and afterwards my OPO booted happily into recovery. Touchscreen and Display etc are working fine. I wiped everything via TWRP 2.8.7.0 and wanted to do a clean install of CM12.1. But no matter what I do now, the phone always(!) boots directly into recovery mode. I can't even get into fastboot! I already tried all sorts of things.. any ideas?

If I power off my phone and plug it into the computer it immediately turns on. If I leave it plugged in and then shut it off via recovery, it reboots instead of turning off. Only if I unplug it from the computer, I can shut it off. So I'm afraid this link won't work for me

Yes I tried everything. It will only boot in recovery.
brah it will work. i was in same situation. it fixed my phone. try it.
I managed to do the whole "unbrick" process... now my recovery looks a little bit different but I still can't get into the bootloader!
When I boot up the phone, a split second before it enters recovery mode this picture shows up. The recovery is now stock CM recovery. ADB now doesn't work either..
TWRP has an option to reboot to bootloader. Did you try that as well?

No, it doesn't. However if go into the "install update via adb sideload" option in the recovery, the phone gets recognized as A0001, but the driver on my PC doesn't work. ADB doesn't work either in this case.

Well its possible, that one of the volume butten is pressed permanent(that u even don't take notice) due bad hardware and replacement. Therefore, the device would only boot into recovery, no matter what u try. Take a voltmeter and check the buttons.
BTW: stop using these dirty "toolbox" around here, they are pure cancer for your device
Hey, thanks for your reply. The volume down button being permanently pressed was actually the case! I found out myself and fixed it by soldering a new volume flex cable. Phone works fine again

xt1032 BootLoop (Android starting..) can't enter recovery or bootloader.

Hi everyone im stuck on the resurection of my device (moto g 2013 8GB updated to 5.1 with [5.1 GPE 1 click] from This forum.
I've tried everything or almost for now, cant get it out of that loop.
*Battery pulling.
*hard buttons combinations.
*fastboot and ADB. (not in fastboot mode so.. And as i did flash de 1click before the loop USB Dbgn isn't enabled)
*i think i've tried every toolkit on this forum.
*Raped google search for over a week trying every posible method-
*Only thing left is to take it to church for a blessing. but im not a believer D:
ADD: i've rooted with a "boot.img" from this forum i think it was a 2015 file.
before this i had not 1 issue with the phone. just unlockd the bootloader a few days ago and updated to 5.1 from 5.0.2 becouse of a wifi issue (unknow mac adress) i had to reboot it like 10 times until it appeared again (original mac adress from device, still wrote it down i have it somewhere.)
I think this would be my first post on this forum and it took me over a week to do it becouse this (asking you-comunity) is my last resource.
PS: i had it going betwen 5.0.2 and 5.1 like 4 times to try solving the wifi issue.. only thing it got me was the "line" on the screen like if it where a problem with vertical sync. (i think you are all very familiar with that issue after downgrading the kernel i think.)
the phone just turns it self on everytime. (everytime)
i was able to boot into recovery before the last flash touching the place were the hardware volume button goes (with a neddle) untill it didnt workd anymore and i send it to a store to repair the volume rockers. still no recovery or bootloader boot.
my pc (laptop with 7-32bit recognices it as xt1032. and the one with xp as MTP.)
I've installed every posible thing that i found to bring it back to life even the android sdk full every pkg from 5.0.2 to 5.1 and extras, Motorola drivers and ADB. tried online searching automated from windows and listing it from a folder with the google one. tried adding the hardware manualy and have every ADB thing that i found on device mng but everyone is wit a yellow triangle. (No USB Debuging enabled so why bother anymore.)
I think that's about it.
You seem to be making things massively over-complicated.

i m sorry for my english, isnt my native lang. And for making it over complicated.
i cant enter fastboot mode or give any order to the phone trough fastboot on a console.
I have installed a TWRP touch, just cant acces it. dont know if it is the hardware button (Vol -) or what.
so it dosnt show up on fastboot devices nor adb devices.
am i not understanding something ?
Thanks for replying and taking the time to help!

did that, tried pulling the battery off and holding the keys (down and power or just vol down) and starting it. no way it goes into bootloader or recovery. When i do any of those things the phone just powers back up it self and boots into system or tries to, and get stuck in bootloop.
Im gonna try a gtag cable or something like that tomorrow from a friend. would it work to send it to bootloader or recovr?

What has changed? Did you get the vol button fixed?

I think I may have just hard-bricked my G3. Is there hope?

I (stupidly) decided to repartition my Moto G3 using this guide. Now, when trying to turn my phone on, the screen stays blank and there's no indication that it's working but it reboots once every two to five seconds or so (telling you how I can tell it's rebooting would be a long story and I'm sure it's irrelevant to the issue).
Am I just hooped or is there hope?
Can you boot in to bootloader?
If yes just flash stock firmware (should include partition layout)

Nope, all attempts to get into the bootloader fail. The screen just stays blank with no indication that it's doing anything at all (although behind the scenes it's actually rebooting once every few seconds). My (uneducated) guess is it can't even access any of the partitions.

Volume down broken
Hi! My mom's phone started to heavily slow down with its stock firmware so I tried to install a custom firmware since I installed one on mine and we both have Moto G3s.
Thing is, it bricked and the volume down button is dead since a few month so I don't have access to the bootloader, otherwise I would just flash the stock firmware. Only buttons working are volume up and on/off buttons.
Is there any way to access the bootloader with this button or am I screwed on this one ?

Can you boot the ROM?
If so, you should be able to turn on usb debugging and run 'adb reboot recovery' and reflash from there

Question Can't boot into Fastboot

Hello There,
Recently, I had brought an OnePlus Nord 2T, Indian Variant specifically. I was trying to root the device by installing TWRP but the TWRP wasn't having any access to the storage because I had wiped the Internal Storage in TWRP before I could do that, which didn't give me any access to the storage of the device. Even if I connected my PC.... Or Disabling/Re-Enabling MTP.
Long story short, I eventually gave up and decided to try again sometime later and proceeded to lock the bootloader. But after relocking the BL the phone would boot and show the error
"The current image(boot/recovery) have been destroyed". I have tried everything to get it to boot into Fastboot but it just won't boot into it.
Pressing Volume Down + Volume Up + Power Button will only display the same error with a small "Recovery Mode" at the bottom left of the screen! I could have tried booting from Recovery but it just doesn't works cause I think that there is no stock recovery because the phone hadn't booted to the OOS yet. Any help as to how can i get it to boot into fastboot mode???? Please!!!!!!!!
Please anybody respond!
The current image(boot/recovery) have been destroyed!
I recently tried to unroot my Oneplus Nord 2T and after locking the bootloader the phone entered this state. There is no connection between my phone and pc. Pressing Volume Down+Power Button brings back to same page. Urgent need help. Edit: The...

There is no fix currently for this problem. The only way to fix it now is to give it to a oneplus repair shop.

Ahhhhhhhhh- That sucks. OnePlus isn't the same as it once used to be. Is OnePlus ever even gonna release the blessed keys to the public to help thelucky one's who managed to brick their device?

Hello There,
Recently, I had brought an OnePlus Nord 2T, Indian Variant specifically. I was trying to root the device by installing TWRP but the TWRP wasn't having any access to the storage because I had wiped the Internal Storage in TWRP before I could do that, which didn't give me any access to the storage of the device. Even if I connected my PC.... Or Disabling/Re-Enabling MTP.
Long story short, I eventually gave up and decided to try again sometime later and proceeded to lock the bootloader. But after relocking the BL the phone would boot and show the error
"The current image(boot/recovery) have been destroyed". I have tried everything to get it to boot into Fastboot but it just won't boot into it.
Pressing Volume Down + Volume Up + Power Button will only display the same error with a small "Recovery Mode" at the bottom left of the screen! I could have tried booting from Recovery but it just doesn't works cause I think that there is no stock recovery because the phone hadn't booted to the OOS yet. Any help as to how can i get it to boot into fastboot mode???? Please!!!!!!!!

What you need to do if you have a data Cable is connect to the computer that way you can install adv and boot into fastboot

Could you explain it more in detail? Like giving me the exact instructions as to what i have to do.
Also, What do you mean by "adv"?

This will not work if you have a bad boot partition. There was a way to flash boot.img via brom mode but it is patched now. So only now is to give it to Oneplus service center.

How long does the service center take to fix the device? Hours? Days? Months?
It usually takes 1-2 days. If you are lucky you get it fixed on the spot.
I had the same issue. Got a new device from my provider in exchange.
Maybe brom mode could work in your case.
Your build has to be A.14 or lower as A.15 received the patch.
