I was experimenting with some of the *983*------# codes and I tried this one *983*29873283# and said something about firmware update and to not touch the screen (things went sour after that) I got scared and took out the battery and when it rebooted, the screen wasn't working anymore, I no that code did something to the firmware and that's why the screen isn't responding no matter what I do. I do warn anybody that don't try this code cause it might brick your merit/avail. I came here to ask for help and see if anybody has had this issue and if there is a fix to it. I would greatly appreciate any help.

I've been going at this for 24 hours straight, trying to figure out how to unbrick my OPO. I got the OPO Recovery tool to work once, but it lost power on CM11 when I was installing the SuperSU from the play store through TWRP's automated process. Now when I try to flash with any tool, I simply get "Sahara" displayed in some form or another. The OPO recovery tool still logs that the OPO is fine, however, the device is completely bricked, no boot, no recovery, nothing, no vibrations, etc.
Here are the results of my attempted flashes through various tools.

Any help on the topic would be extremely appreciated, I really didn't mean to brick my phone, the only reason it happened was because I accidentally wiped everything, including internal storage when flashing BlissPop, oops. However, I am also very confident in the Snapdragon 801 and its invincibility when it comes to bricking.

Sadly nothing in that thread works, if you'd bothered to read my post you'd understand that nothing, no method to what is detailed in that thread is possible for me. It's not even slightly relevant to the sahara error.

I'm taking time out of my day to try to help you and that's the response I get? I did bother to read your post. I guess I won't bother attempting to help you any further, I've successfully helped many people unbrick their devices though. Good luck with your phone, I hope you revive it.

You didn't try hard to do anything. You gave me a standard, measley response with no thought to my actual dilemma. I'm a new member, I won't be staying. I'm not trying to start an argument with you, stop being petty. I literally said that everything in that thread didn't work by my original post. Do you really think I haven't followed that thread in and out, I've read every single page for a solution to my problem, I didn't come here to get a repost to an article that doesn't help me. People who ask for a solution to the sahara issue here get ignored, which is why I'm attempting to get an actual answer out of someone.
@PikuChan
i am also facing same sahara issue when i am trying to unbrick my mobile which has qualcomm chipset,i searched everywhere in the net but not find solution ,firstly i want to know why sahara error occurs is it because of drivers problem or is it because of rom,experts please help us to get out of this sahara storm(i mean error)...

There are many of us with this issue, sadly. I, for one, have exhausted all the known methods for reviving this phone, but when the Sahara error comes up all the listed methods do not work. I have used the standard method listed in this forum to revive one of these devices and it worked flawlessly. However, this one I'm trying to revive just refuses to work, always throwing this Sahara error and then everything stops. I would appreciate if anyone else who knows how to help us can chip in, or do we just conclude that the device is gone forever? This is XDA folks... There's always a way...
Thanks everyone.
HELP:::!!!!

Yes, it is bad that we do not have a dedicated section for Vibe X3 yet.
I think we should be able to use Moto X Pure ROMs on this phone easily but most probably the finger print sensors won't work and there might be issues with camera since they are using different sensors.
If you already have the phone, can you try any of the ROMs from the Moto X Pure ROMs. Please make sure you take a nandroid backup of your phone first before you do so.
I tried asking in Moto X forums, but they don't seem to be interested in this.

There is already a thread in XDA trying to root Vibe X3,check this out.
Take a look at this video to enter recovery mode and then you can try flashing Moto X Pure TWRP recovery. Make sure to take a backup of your phone first because anything may go wrong in the middle.

Np Welcome to XDA, press the thanks button at the bottom right corner if you want to thank someone :good:
Anyways, try Autoroot and see if that helps.
If even that doesn't work, try going to the fastboot mode as shown in that video and flash TWRP recovery directly, then you can flash any rom that has root but that might be even harder
Anyways since Lenovo has already released the source code for Vibe X3, I think it is only a matter of time before someone comes up with a way to root the device.
Hopefully many people buy this phone and we get a good community support for this device...

Oh then welcome to the Android world!
You may find that Android by default even without rooting is more customisable than iOS.
Let me know if you were not able to get root by AutoRoot also...
You can try directly via the fastboot method from that video or by the flashing tool for lenovo phones just use our Vibe X3 rom to flash instead of the Lenovo A850 mentioned in that link and I guess that should work.
And always backup your device before doing any of these since it may brick your device...

Yes , but i felt some Cons with Android OS , just used this for first time and from 6 days ,
1. you can install cracked apps or modded apps without rooting , but using Modded apps leads you to get banned , but in iOS we make tweaks which enhances your app feature never let get you banned except for Snapchat.
2.While Flashing Firmaware there is high risk to get bricked , but never in iOS either jailbreaking or if you get stuck just restore your device
now i downloaded TWRP for Moto X style cuz for Vibe X3 not available , also i don't have stock firmware VibeUI 3.0 , if anything happens how do i revert back .
no issues i don't give up , will definately find a way to make it possible

i got my answer
I guess you guys didn't follow my posts.
I'm pretty sure we need a developer version of ROM (like MIUI devices) to unlock the bootloader. Because everytime I ran the oem unlock command earlier I was prompted with an error saying I cannot run this command on the user version. And Lenovo calls the stable ROM as User version and they have Developer versions too. Atleast for the Chinese variants.
Everything is properly available for the Chinese variants of the phone here : http://www.vibeui.com/vibeui/download
But, there's nothing for the ROW variant anywhere.
I contacted the technical support via live chat to get the stock ROM so that we may attempt some dirty stuff(like trying to flash the Chinese variant's ROM).
The person told me to visit a service center for getting it. I contacted the service center and luckily they answered the call after multiple tries. They told I can come and get it from there.
I couldn't visit them that day, probably will try on 29th.
It seems we can get the stock ROM at first but yeah, you never know about these people. Maybe the person who received my call didn't really understand my request.
Let's see how it goes.
Stay tuned here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/100327041031700631509

I'll appreciate you if there is a single thread posted by you (of 4 threads).

Without contributing anything new thats a tall claim to make. You would be begging too. If new way of unbrick information was not found.
First do something on your own rather than stealing someone else's work.

Can you help me with bypass authorization on Redmi 3s Prime. is there any option for it, cant even install TWRP recovery without binding the phone. Any help will be appreciated.
Can i flash any of these roms on my fake rom note 5 with locked bl? and which one?
I have a MiPad4 which I can only get fastboot
I have tried to flash with the latest MiFlash and the 28 may 2018 Miflash
Miflash can see the device - it goes through the flash and everything seems to be doing fine until after 30 seconds it says
error:FAILED ( remote: Flashing is not allowed in Lock State )
I had this device unlocked before , but when I flashed TWRP originally I left the default selection of clean all and lock on MiFlash ( sad default )
any ideas ?

You answered yourself. You left default selection "clean all and lock". It locked your bootloader again, because thats what you chose to do.
