I have a sprint converted to to international oneplus 7 pro. I took an update about an hour ago and, honestly, for some reason the phone rebooted and wiped itself. I now have a hone with an unlocked bootloader and the inability to boot when the usb cable is inserted with the volume up and down buttons pressed so I cannot run guacamoles conversion tool. Does anyone have any ideas that will lead me to the promised land of having root again? I'm furious with myself for this. I've lost everything I had stored on the phone..

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 - i747m 16GB
Rom: Cyanogenmod 10.2.1
This is an FYI, and curiosity post. FYI in case somebody else thinks to try what I did, and curiosity as I'm not 100% sure what I did wrong. Apologies if this is the wrong place for this - first post.
So, I flashed a bad modem update, and hardbricked my phone. Used the methods described here to debrick via SDCARD (SGH-I747M-UEMK5, so I guess I was using 4.3 bootloader - figured this out later - used a SANDISK Ultra 32GB UHS-1 card BTW). Got my phone back to the point where I needed the SDCARD inserted for the phone to function. Attempts to flash the bootloader via recovery didn't work (didn't check, but seemed that it "worked", but might have gone to the SDCARD, and not internal memory). Reading further, posts suggested that I revert to stock.
As I now had download mode available again, fired up ODIN, and with "I747MVLUFNE6_I747MOYCFNE6_BMC" (which is 4.4, and I didn't realize I had a 4.3 bootloader at this time) from sammobile, proceeded to flash with no warnings. Succeeded. Phone rebooted, and I received the "stock" samsung boot animation with sound. It did its thing for a bit, and then came to the "decrypt phone" prompt. My phone had been encrypted a while back, but wasn't when I started this "journey". I recalled having this problem once before when reverting to stock, and no code entered worked (needed to wipe data). For fun, I entered the code that was previously used to encrypt the device. It actually appeared to start working (that green Android picture with gears showed up when you put in the right code), and I could see the outline of the statusbar. It sat there for about 30 seconds, and then powered off. I thought it would reboot, but it didn't. No powerup, or lights visible, and I've tried virtually every debrick image on SDCARD (NE6) to no avail.
So, I'm getting the phone JTAG'ed tomorrow, but thought I'd throw this out as I initially thought I had solved the problem, but guess not. The only thing I can think of is flashing 4.4 stock vs. 4.3, however, the phone initially booted. Could it have flashed the bootloader again after ODIN and during the subsequent initial boot, and somehow screwed itself up?
Update after JTAG:
Took the phone to a reputable repair shop. Unfortunately, the JTAG was unsuccessful. Speaking briefly with the tech, he said that they tried writing at different speeds a couple of different times, and each time the write was successful, however, still no dice. They were using a Riffbox.
Unless something drastic happens, I feel that this is the end of this one (also, open to more "exotic" methods now lol)
Hi all,
Long-time lurker - used info here ages ago to mod a tablet, but right now I'm working on my fiancee's phone, which is an unrooted Galaxy S7.
Yesterday, her phone took a complete **** out of nowhere. It spontaneously rebooted, said it was applying an update, and then the Android dude fell over with an exclamation mark next to him. She had just finished recording some audio that she *really* wants to get back (a press conference she got into at Comic Con).
The message now on the phone is:
Phone storage corrupt
The data partition has been corrupted. You need to reset your phone to factory default settings. This will erase all your data.
I've tried to connect to Windows and I can't get at the device - I have no way to change whatever connection mode it's going into by default. I've also tried getting into the phone through ADB, but the device isn't recognized.
I could really use some advice here
Anyone?
Thanks,
-Jeff

Reboot into recovery/download mode and see if you can access adb. If not flash stock firmware in Odin (Not csc, as that will wipe data)
If flashing stock works, I would flash stock again after you get the data you want (including csc the second time)
Sent from my SM-G935U using XDA Labs
Eek. The data header gets marked as corrupt when this message appears. Chances are it will reappear after reflashing and because Samsung encryption is proprietary it will be hell to recover. If Craz's suggestion fails you may need to chalk this one up as a loss
Hi all! My Sprint LG V50 has frozen on 5G logo. It's never been tampered with, rooted, or bootloaded.
I decided to do the normal restart because my phone was glitchy to refresh it. I didn't do hard reset with trying to preserve the data. But since then it never fully restarted, it always stop at the 5G logo. My phone seemed to have behaved as how it would with previous OTA updates. I found out the same day that an OTA update for A10 was released a few days prior to the issue i'm experiencing.
I have important data from the last 2 weeks that haven't been saved/ backed up, i'm not sure why, but I desperately need to retrieve.
Im thinking the OTA update was coming through as I restarted it.
-I tried REBOOT SYSTEM NOW through RECOVERY MODE several times.
-I charged it completely then tried the above again.
-I removed SIM/SD card, tried the same
-I even left it on overnight in case the OTA update was huge and needed time to install
-There is not WIPE CACHE PARTITION option available.
I have this hopeful thinking, where I read this about how others were able to rollback to the previous updates, by downloading the updates manually, installing through ADB or SD CARD without losing data. But with LG V50 being an uncommon, new phone, there isn't much information online, not even download links to the OTA , not even a firehose (which i found out about this in V30 forum)
I've been all in the V30 forums (big no-no, i know) hoping that their methods could work on V50
So now I am trying to access SAFE MODE using the physical buttons but Im unable to find the information to do that. Is there not a SAFE MODE?
When turning the phone off press and hold power off on the screen, then it will prompt you for safe mode.

I've tried it. It won't respond to it with being on 5g logo.

Have you inserted another SIM card now?
I would try to flash a complete stock firmware for your region, which is unbranded. Use Odin on PC and a USB cable.
Should work as long as your bootloader is unlocked and you can not into download mode.
If you flash a new CSC, your data will be wiped. Don't use Home_CSC, as you want to get rid of the AT&T bloatware.
