[Q] Stock OPO soft bricked after turning off at night.

Okay, here's the deal... I have an OPO (not mine) that is completely stock running, I would presume 5.0.2. I'm not exactly sure which build. But I was told that she turned the phone off at night and charged it. Turned it on in the morning and it got stuck on the cyanogen logo. No boot loops, no getting past that. Just sitting there. The device is stock, bootloader locked, no root. I also highly doubt that ADB debugging was turned on while it was working...
I'm trying to wipe it bring it back to stock, but I'm not having any success. I've gone in to Cyanogen recovery and wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe media. Reboot, still stuck. When I click apply update in recovery, it gives me a bunch of errors saying so and so directory isn't found. So that leaves to me to believe that something went bad.
I just tried to fastboot oem unlock, said it finished in a few seconds. Then I tried to fastboot the factory image files and after the first one (modem), it gave me an error saying the bootloader is locked.
I'm out of ideas and the unbrick a hard bricked OPO thread said it wouldn't work, so I haven't tried it. Any advice on where to look would be much appreciated.

Anybody?

That's the problem. I can't because the bootloader is locked. When I try to unlock it, it runs the command. Then when I try to fastboot flash, it tells me the bootloader is locked. I have my own OPO that I have unlocked and rooted, so knowing how to unlock isn't an issue either.

Yes, all updated drivers. Drivers are not the issue since I can execute commands while in fastboot. The issue is not having an unlocked bootloader, so I can't flash anything and it won't unlock bootloader.

No, phone was not encrypted and ColorOS unbrick didn't work. It recognizes the phone, I hit start and it does it's thing. After first green bar, it boot loops instead of flashing all the files. Ran as admin and all the drivers are good.

Another trick for installation is
Code:
fastboot boot <path/name of the recovery twrp img>
It will boot your phone into recovery once from the recovery image
stored in your PC temporarily
then you can flash the zip either by sideload or

Haz a parametre here

There is a way to flash an unlocked bootloader if you can't fastboot oem unlock.
As you already tried the color.zip method you should already have most of the needed files.
Download the attachment and unzip it into color folder replacing the files emmc_appsboot.mbn and rawprogram0_64.xml (backup the originals first).
-power off the OPO
-hold VolUp and plug into PC
-on PC open device manager, OPO should be in QDloader 9008
-keep an eye on device manager and start msm8974downloadtool from color.zip
-when in device manager the QDloader 9008 disconnects press stop in msm8974downloadtool
-OPO should now be Qualcomm Diagnostics 9006 in device manager
-download MiFlash from here http://www.androidbrick.com/ultimate-qualcomm-snapdragon-unbrick-guide-snapdragons-are-unbrickable/ and set it up like on the pictures on that website
-click refresh. now it should show you OPO on the respective COM port. click flash
-when successfull finished unplug and press and hold power for 30 seconds
-now start into fastboot with power + VolUp and there is your unlocked bootloader
-now you can flash cos with fastboot
The rawprogram0_64xml is edited so that it only writes partition table and flashes sbl1, dbi, rpm, tz, recovery and emmc_appsboot.
This worked for me when i couldn't flash with msm8974downloadtool, it always flashed modem, started with flashing system and then began from the start again.

TWRP for Razer Phone

https://dl.twrp.me/cheryl
Razer Phone Install Instructions
Read these instructions and follow them carefully. Failure to do so may result in not being able to update the device in the future and there are no factory images available.
The Razer Phone uses the newer AB partition scheme first introduced on the Pixel 1. As such there is no recovery partition. Instead, the recovery is part of the boot image. Unlike the Pixel devices, Razer has disabled fastboot boot so there is no way to temporarily boot TWRP to perform an installation.
Getting into fastboot mode or recovery on the Razer Phone requires plugging the device into a USB cable. I would recommend against flashing or performing recovery-related actions unless you have access to a USB cable and port so that you can get back into recovery should something go wrong. Power off the device. Hold volume up to get into recovery or volume down to get into fastboot mode. Plug the device in while holding the appropriate button and the device should boot to the mode you selected. If it boots up to the charging screen, try a different USB cable or port. Make sure you are able to boot the device to fastboot via USB cable before flashing anything.
We are going to use the other boot slot to flash the initial copy of TWRP and boot TWRP. To do this you will need to turn on developer options and enable USB debugging. You will also need to enable OEM unlocking and unlock the bootloader. I am not going to discuss how to get the proper drivers installed or assist you with doing these basic steps. There's tons of guides elsewhere for these items if you need it. I will say that unlocking the bootloader requires using fastboot flashing unlock instead of fastboot oem unlock. Once you have adb working, run this command:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix
It should say:
[ro.boot.slot_suffix]: [_a]
Or:
[ro.boot.slot_suffix]: [_b]
Make note of whether you are currently using slot A or B. Next power off the device and boot to the bootloader using your USB cable and volume down. You want to switch to the other boot slot. If you are currently on slot A, type this:
fastboot --set-active=_b
Or on slot B type this:
fastboot --set-active=_a
You should see something like this:
Setting current slot to 'a'...
OKAY [ 0.042s]
finished. total time: 0.042s
I found the bootloader on the Razer Phone to be extremely finicky and I had to run the command multiple times until I got it to run successfully. You may have to hold the power button for 15 seconds to force power off the device and then re-enter fastboot mode. Keep trying until it works. Once it's on the right boot slot, type this:
fastboot flash boot twrp-3.2.1-0-cheryl.img && fastboot reboot
Your device should now boot into TWRP. From here, decrypt your device if needed at the password prompt. DO NOT swipe to allow modifications until after you make your initial backup; instead tap on the read-only button. Go to the reboot page and tap on the button at the bottom to switch back to the slot you were originally using. Go to the backup page in TWRP and back up Boot and System Image. It is HIGHLY recommended that you save this backup in a safe spot on your computer because you may need to restore it to take official OTA updates from Razer. Once you have finished making your backup, run this command:
adb push twrp-installer-3.2.1-0-cheryl.zip /sdcard
In TWRP, tap on Install and browse to the zip and install it. TWRP will now be installed to both slots. TWRP is now installed and you can reboot and use your device as normal, though with TWRP installed, you won't be able to take OTA updates without restoring the stock boot image.
MTP is disabled because it causes a kernel panic sometimes with the stock kernel. ADB also does not work with the stock kernel which makes transferring files between your PC and the device when using the stock kernel a bit of a challenge. The TWRP bootable image does have working ADB though and you can copy files to a SD card or USB stick if needed.

Reserved!

Thanks you so much @Dees_Troy

Let development begin
Awesome work! :highfive:

Awesome! Now we just need to let the dev fun begin! BTW You Rox!
Edit: Im trying to do a full backup of the current state of my phone. went into TWRP and selected every partition and hit backup. Was flying along till it got to Data and it just stopped. No movement @ 40% for about 5 minutes so far Is it working for anyone else? does it just take insanely long with no percentage increase, or am I just being paranoid cause its my new phone lol
Edit 2: I just cancelled it and backed up everything but Data and it went fine, I'm now attempting to backup JUST Data.. Ill have to restore 2 backups seperately, but it appears to be working
Final Edit: All good.. not sure what happened the first backup but doing them seperately worked. Rooted with Magisk 15.1 and running beautifully! Gonna try out some root stuff like Xposed.. Thanks for all your hard work devs & testers!

@Dees_Troy Thanks for your work. Broken link https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_razer_cheryl
Please update when you have time
Another thing in your instruction consider that on european razer phone the right command is this (I've found problem only for slot b in slot a work without -i 0x1532)
ffastboot -i 0x1532 flashing unlock

My problem is getting the drivers to work. I've tried Robin. That succeeded. But updating drivers in Device Manager doesn't work. It says there are no compatible drivers for the phone. And if I can't update drivers I can't get the phone to be recognized in Device Manager so adb can work

Some people have reported that touch isn't working and partitions aren't mounting properly. I tried to fix most issues and uploaded a new version. I do not own this device personally - so i can not test the fixes. Please give me feedback for the updated version.

I just got my GPD XD+ today, thanks for the TWRP build but on mine, even with the current build (2018/04/01), I can't perform any actions. Touch still seems not to work for me. I can't get past TWRP asking me "Keep System Read-only?" Let alone see if partitions are loading correctly.
Everything is in portrait mode which is awkward for this device. What about landscape? Shouldn't it be 1280x720 rather than 720x1280?
**Update**
It would appear that my touch controls are inverted... so the fix for others, seems to have inverted my own.
**Update 2***
Well... after realizing the touchscreen was reversed for me, I was able to slide the "Swipe to allow modifications" slider but after that, I chose to reboot out of recovery since the likelyhood of me hitting something by mistake with the controls reversed was high. Being very careful, I was able to tell it to reboot to system and now the system hangs at the GPD logo.. which no longer animates... I can no longer boot into anything but recovery and fastboot.
Any theories as to what has happened? Does anyone have a Clean Stock ROM of the plus model so I can start over using adb?
**Update 3**
PsyOps pointed me towards some stock images at "forum.gpd.hk/t3-the-latest-firmware-of-gpd-game-console" and I'm back in business. Had to flash more than just recovery and boot.. had to flash system as well for some reason.

I have the same situation here.
It happened after unlocked the bootloader, so it's nothing to do with the recovery.
The adb commend return the error: device '(null)' not found.

I can't check the "recovery" box. It doesn't do anything. And the first methode doesn"t work

I was being dinner and used adb commands instead of fast boot. If you have your device plugged into a computer with fastboot setup you can run "fastboot reboot" and everything should work.

Wait for the battery runs out, then recharge, it works fine and the bootloader is unlocked, the first boot will take longer and a few reboot.
And I find that any time you issue fastboot command from you pc, the xd plus will stuck and you have to wait the battery runs out.
I installed the Magisk use fastboot method, stuck again, and need to wait for the battery runs out, recharged, and evertyhing ok then.
There's another root method on Chinese forum (flash supersu pack by recovery), since I rooted by installin Magisk, I didn't try that.

No, when I stuck in the fastboot menu, the adb command return error that no device can find, I have to unplug battery or wait for the battery runs out.

"fastboot reboot" worked perfectly for me!

Same problem here.
I installed the drivers but got the error.
Now my device is in fastboot mode but fastboot reboot etc. don't work.. And I just can't turn it off..
Im really sad.

So.. At least I could fix the problem, I installed the Drivers (had do disable driver signature) and installed your TWRP Mod successfully but the Screen is mirrored! U can use it but its very tricky.. I could open "Install" But if I open it, twrp could not load any data it called "0MB Space" and yeah after reboot, my GPD XD Plus DON'T start..

I had the same issue, could use it inverted and mirrored but after running it and not doing anything with it, I could no longer boot into system... Only into recovery. If I tried to boot into system, the boot animation would never animate and the system would hang.
See PsyOps' reply to my question of where to find a stock rom. You can either use the provided tool or you can use adb commands to reflash your system partition... At least for me I had to flash system... Flashing boot and recovery (removing TWRP) didn't work alone...

Thanks for the advice, I spoke with him too and he already gave me the guide how to boot into Recovery Mode and then fastboot (Hold VOL+ & On Off Untill Menu apperas, then boot into recovery, then if the android guy appears press On/Off and THEN VOL+, so you're in the normal recovery mode for all the other poor user's )
And I flashed system.img, boot and stock recovery and then it booted up..
The only thing is, that I think that the SD card won't mount correctly anytime and if I plug it to the PC, I dont see the SD card and big files (like the StockROM Update 1.10 abort before its finished).
Greetings

Contact me in discord.

Could you please close the thread and delte the download link? Not even once your TWRP worked, please don't share the file anymore. Other user's will brick their device too.

I have sucessfully installed stock rom, and flashed TWRP. Could I use Supersu here, or do I have to use Magik?

When I try to unlock bootloader, the fastboot driver isn't working and fastboot doesn't see phone. It works for installing the rom and twrp, but fastboot doesn't work. Is there a different driver for fastboot commands?

Do you mean launch the command prompt from that folder? Or actually RUN (double click) fastboot from that folder?

Hey heineken78,
I noticed after starting over that when you install twrp and format data and reboot system, the phone will continue to reboot to download mode unless you unplug the phone from the computer before restarting.

Do everyone in Canada has city names?

Sorry about that heineken78, I was hurrying and only glanced at the name. I have to get the fastboot working before I can install root.

I am stuck at "Sharp" now and the power button does not work to turn it off.....

Try Volume up + Power

the power button does not work. i held it in for over 5 min and nothing. i have to let the phone die and plug it back in to computer. Hopefully that will send it into download mode.....If not I have an expensive paperweight.
Sucks!

Well I got everything running perfectly! Root and custom recovery on stock rom.
Thanks a lot heineken78 for figuring this out.

@heineken78 is there any chance to get Treble on Aquos S3 mini like you did on Aquos S2? Anyway it's so good to have at least custom recovery and ability to install gapps. Thanks!

hold volume + and power for 10 seconds- reboot, immediately press the volume - and power - bootloader mode.
This is the Unlocking bootloader problem. As an option to reflash according to the instructions, and everything will work.

But After seeing your github site it seems you are a developer. So you can work on it after your exams and if possible edit OP and add TWRP template .

On the TWRP page it says-
"Power off device.
Pick up your phone and press power button and volume up key at same time. It will boot into TWRP.
Format Data.
Flash Magisk and Data decryption patch and reboot your device.
Done"
My question is - can i just flash TWRP and then flash Magisk to get root without wiping data?
i unlocked the bootloader few days back and did complete setup of my phone 2nd time, so i dont want to format again... and go through the whole process.
Any help is appreciated.

I did the exact same method as mentioned in this thread, but twrp isn't reading the microSD slot. It gives 0 MB as size of microSD and I can't select it. Also, it seems to me that twrp starts from the beginning everytime I boot to recovery as I'm getting the 'Allow modifications to system partion' in every boot. Can someone please help?
My microSD is FAT32 format, and its contents aren't encrypted. I'm able to read the contents of it in PC and in my phone, but not in recovery.

Yes, you can flash twrp and take whole system backup without root. You need to unlock bootloader for flashing recovery if you haven't unlocked yet.
Procedure is simple.
1 setup adb and fastboot drivers in your pc.
2. power off your device and hold volume down and power button simultaneously to boot device in fastboot mode.
3. Press shift+right click and select open command window here in a folder where you saved twrp.img
4. Type "fastboot devices" without quotes and enter.
5. type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and press enter then recovery gets flashed.
5. Type "fastboot reboot recovery" to boot into recovery mode.

I followed this step:
Download latest firmware of realme from here

I downloaded stock recovery here

Then flashed this recovery from adb, then boot to recovery, find the firmware on ur sd card and then flash it.
