flashed a rom earlier today, and magisk wasnt passing the safteynet check for some reason, so i flashed Huawei-Prop-Fix-v1.1_2017082601.zip and now my phone wont boot at all. nothing even comes up on screen. it just keeps vibrating and resetting with a black screen and lit backlight. idk what to do, kinda freaking out ! please someone halp :'( :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
--UPDATE-- SOMEHOW I GOT IT IN FASTBOOT MODE, PLEZ SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO
if you in fastboot.. install TWRP via ADB.. download and flash stock firmware back..
think the chinese version is safest, then just rebrand device and load new firmware

If you can get into fastboot follow this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/hacking-customizing-managing-huawei-t3589996. Take your time and read it carefully then follow the steps.

The link I provided has a lot of information about flashing stock firmware. At this point you probably want a short answer but it would be best if you read the whole post. That way you will have more knowledge about what you are doing.
You need the firmware for your device.
You need TWRP
You need to know how to use ADB
I could try to explain all of this here but it is already explained in the post I linked to. So try reading it carefully, and then ask questions about the parts you don't understand.

no lol a short answer is the last thing i need right now, i need details. its not that i dont understand it, my screen is black so i cannot see anything <---- thats the main issue.
I cant access ADB i can only get into fastboot because again my screen isnt showing anything at all. no bootlogo no nothing. i cant get into twrp only fastboot. i know how to use those things but if i cant get into recovery then what else can i do? my only available access is fastboot

Well in theory you should be able to issue ADB commands in fastboot. But if you can't, then try using Huawei's Hisuite to recover the phone.

return for warranty.. they will sort out... maybe ur screen is dead or hardware issue..
also get the phone in off state.. think its volume up + power...
then hold down both volume buttons + power and wait for boot.. should take you to recovery screen.. if your screen is active then u have some hope

in fastboot mode you can only issue fastboot commands.
adb commands are used in recovery/booted system.
@none24 let the phone stay on until it dies then plug in usb and see if it boots after that.
Hey guys,
Recently after a software update my OP 8 started to crash and after that it would restart itself up. One day it just decided not to do it again, power button did nothing and it just wouldn't boot at all. I thought that the phone was dead, but after a couple of weeks I decided to connect the phone to my computer and after a "low battery warning" it boot up. When booting up, after a while it did the same thing as before, it crashed and decided to restart itself up. I did a factory reset and the same thing happened when I got to the android set up screen.
The same day, I decided that I needed to change the ROM since there could be a problem with it. While trying to unlock the bootloader I realized that I need a code from T Mobile (which I'm solicited and still waiting on), I decided to turn the phone off (so that it didn't restart or crashed) and wait for the code to get to me.
The next day, I tried to boot up the phone and it didn't. When connected to my pc i saw that it was recognized as a QCBulk (something like that), I learned about Qualcomm EDL, downloaded drivers and the phone is kinda talking to my pc. Now, I have used MSM tool to install new firmware but after installing the phone doesn't boot back up but stays on the same EDL mode.
So I need some advice,
1. I thought of waiting on the battery to run out and maybe the phone would get out of EDL mode that way.
2. Keep trying to flash different OOS roms via MSM tool and hope that the phone boots back up afterwards.
3. Using QFIL (one of Qualcomm tools) install need firmware. Problem is, I need a .efl or .mbn file which should be included in the firmware but can't find anywhere.
Please help me guys,
I just bought the phone and I miss it
THANKS!
I would think MSM tool is your only hope. Are you using the MSM tool for the tmobile version?
Did you fix your problem yet? @Gipsydanger120
I can give you the .efl firehose for the device if you want it, but it's almost useless cuz you can only use it with partition manager thats all.

Yes, I'm but it's no help. After installing, the phone disconnects and then goes back into EDL mode. I can tell since my pc makes a noise every time something connects/disconnects. I thought auto-reboot in MSM would help, but it doesn't.

So I tried to use QFIL with the efl file along side the "firmware" that i downloaded from OnePlus site, but it looks like I need some other type of file. I was following a tutorial and they mentioned that the firmware usually came with this efl file and maybe an XML file too.
So my conclusion is that I need other type of files too be able to use QFIL.
Any advice? Or am I missing something?

You know you could force restart the phone out of EDL mode by disconnecting USB holding all buttons at once for about 10 or 12 secs the phone should boot, but if there is a problem with a partition the phone will reboot once again to EDL. If it does reboot to EDL again, your last option would be a SMT download which will 100% make it boot but you will lose your IMEI and widevine certificates. It's a problem to solve another problem.

That's what I was referring above to "it's almost useless", you won't be able to flash it with qfil unless you have the rawprogram.xml and patch.xml for EACH LUN, so that's 5 pairs of xml files.

I've tried to get it out of EDL but i can't. Any key combination doesn't work, that's the main problem.

And after you create the xmls and arrange them in folders with firmware files you are going to realize that QFIL can't flash the files for some reason and all your work have gone.

and most important you will lose the ability of flashing the unlock_token cuz it's gonna say "Verify failed" obviously because of the null imei.

You don't have bootloader unlocked? You might need to find your correct msm tool for your device, depending on if you got your phone from OnePlus or T-Mobile, or send it in for repair? A few people on here, including me, also was able to send it to OnePlus via 1 day airmail and have it shipped back the same way and repaired all for free. That might not be an option for you though, I don't know how much you need your phone but if it's bricked either way it might be the best option. Try the msm tool first though instead of using fastboot to flash stock.

My bad, didn't see that he changed op. I mean if he could not connect through msm, there are a few options to try, including installing a driver manually for the qcom device. I had to fiddle with drivers and whatnot for about an hour or so before flashing was able to successfully commence. msm should help but scheduling a remote repair might take a day or so from oneplus so might as well try you know?

So you tried it though it sounds like. It requires specific steps to work. You need drivers to be installed, go into EDL mode by having the device off and holding volume up while plugging the device into your computer, and then you have to start it when the device is enumerated. Are you willing to try msm again? The only other options really are to have a remote session with oneplus, which might take a day or so to get done, or send it for free for repair?

its the holding buttons part thats a little weird but im definitely ready to try it again. The problem occurs with how my phone is powercycling by itself whatever I do while its not in fast boot mode. This makes the MSM stop detecting the phone and I have to start over.

Yeah, I have bricked my op9 so many times I know what you are talking about. With the power cycling thing I have no idea why that happens, but sometimes if I start the msm tool while it is detected, it will stay in EDL mode and stop cycling. Other times I realized that it was not really in EDL mode to begin with. Make sure that the device is completely off. Open up msmtool and get it ready. Hold volume down and up, without holding the power button, and then connect it to your pc. Once it shows up just click start. You might need to try different usb ports, and/or make sure that your drivers are installed for qcom device in edl mode.

I believe so? in device manager you should see the device and then COM... like COM4 or COM3 or something, as long as it is COM and then a number, and if it shows up in msmtool then the drivers are probably installed. The process won't work if you dont have drivers set right, so try it and if it fails make sure that it is the right msmtool and that you have drivers installed. Do not touch it while it is doing its thing, lay it down on a surface or something just to be safe. Also you might not have to do this but I have found success with msmtool by going offline like disconnecting ethernet and turning off wifi, and setting my date back to december of 2018 in windows before starting the tool, I do not know why but if it fails try that first above all else.

So for the last three months I've been using my rooted phone with the Pixel Experience ROM, and today I decided to switch back to the stock rom. I first tried to uninstall Magisk, but when I checked the app it was already uninstalled, which I think was a bit strange. Then I downloaded the global 14.0.1 MIUI and tried to flash it via recovery mode using adb, and it failed at the end of the flashing process. So I went to try to install it using fastboot, but after using the command fastboot devices, my phone was not listed. Then I went to the recovery mode again (I was using orange fox when doing so) and tried to reboot into fastboot mode. Doing so didn't change anything when using the command to list the devices, but MiFlash had it listed, so I tried using it. I selected the rom, and selected the "clean and lock" IIRC, it started to flash and said it finished without any errors, however my phone showed some errors that I can't remember now. I tried to reboot the phone, and it went back to recovery mode, so I tried to flash it again. In this time, I tried to stop the flashing process by removing the usb because I thought I should look for the errors first, and then I remembered that I shouldn't do it (I have a very bad short term memory), so I tried to put the usb back and flashing it again. This time the Miflash showed an error, and I realized I was using the flash command while in recovery mode, not fastboot (I accidentaly pressed "adb" in the recovery), so I tried to reboot my phone to change it and it turned off. There's no more battery charging screen, fastboot or recovery. After a lot of research, I found out that my phone is in ETL mode, it shows in the device manager on my pc and also shows in the miflash as "COM3" or "COM4".
Can someone please help me? I tried so many things so far, and I still don't want to send it to repair
If you selected clean and lock and it finished, that means you locked your bootloader, and with locked bootloader, you can't flash anything. And you also yanked usb out of your phone in the middle of flashing process? My bet, you screwed up partition or two, and now your phone is in EDL, my man... Just take it to a service centre, before it's completely destoryed
When I was writing the thread I was wondering how could I be that stupid. I think I'll really need to send It to a service center.

If it shows signs of life, you may be able to resuscitate it. But I doubt an official service centre would be of any help here, except as stated above.

What are you talking about. if he has access to EDL mode he can fix everything. Even if your UFS was completely wiped and had no partitions. EDL is a completely separate thing. However you can't reflash the software using EDL because only service centers have the authorisation to do that (some people have that access too, and you can reflash your phone if you pay them). Another way to do it is open the phone up, and short some pins to get access to unauthorised EDL.

Yeah, mouth-to-usb always helps.
I rooted the phone to uninstal some bloatware, and of course I have uninstalled something I shouldn't have.
If think it was something with Lolipop in the name, which can sound pretty stupid since it's name of the OS, but the app (root uninstaller) told me it should be safe to remove...
Now either the phone doesn't start, or when it start the interface simply don't show up. I cee see the phone is running behind, If I press the power button I have the popup to restart or shut down the phone, and when I press the home button a google searsh interface appear, but I can't do anything else.
So I've been struggling all the afternoon to try to reset the firmware, I've installed QFIL, try to find the firmware, download some crap form internet that was useless since it was missing the prog_emmc_firehose file, which I've deducted should be prog_emmc_firehose_8916.mbn since the processor is a Snapdragon 410.
I found the file online, I setup the software, click on download, it load for some time... and then I have an error message (I put it on the attached image)
I have no idea what's the problem, if my files are somehow wrong or if the problem is elsewhere, since this model doesn't seem to be very popular I'm struggling to find anything. I think it's close the the Idol 3, but I don't know if both model are compatible.
I'm out of idea, if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

If think it was something with Lolipop in the name, which can sound pretty stupid since it's name of the OS, but the app (root uninstaller) told me it should be safe to remove.

Factory reset! By far the easiest option ( Maybe not actually... do you have any recovery installed? )
If you want to keep data you need to flash the full update image... It will re enable all the apps you disabled

If you're talking about pushing volume up + power and doing a factory reset, it's not fixing anything.
Or there's another method ?

There isn't , if you are android 5 once the app is uninstalled it's uninstalled permanently..> ( On newer android it's way harder to fully uninstall , so most apps just disable them )
To use QFIL I believe you need to enter EDL mode first? Look for some edl flashing guides , but if you can flash ANY custom recovery it's much easier that way

I think I am in EDL mode, otherwise QFIL wouldn't even start the procedure.
Just to be sure, I push both volume buttons down, then plug the cable.
Then I have a picture telling me I have to push volume up to enter Download mode, si I guess it's EDL ?

Are you saying I should be able to flash any custom recovery ?
Or that if I COULD it would be easier.
Frankly I have no idea what you're talking about, I'm totally in the dark here.

First I have limited knowledge about edl , but from what I know you can't enter edl with button combinations - download mode should not be edl... ( There are multiple ways of entering edl - You either need a special cable / Need to open phone , find test points and short them / issue correct fastboot comand for entering edl... I think it was something like fastboot reboot-edl )
And second, flashing system updates via custom recovery is usually a much simpler process than QFIL ( This is only a last resort option ! I'd use fastboot before trying qfil )
What you can do is find and download complete system update for your device , extract it and send me a screenshot. (If you can find a custom recovery for your device go ahead and flash it as well)
