OP7PRO dead (black screen, won't turn on) - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

I'm having issues with my OnePlus 7 Pro running Android 11 OxygenOS. It won't turn on at all, the screen is black, it's not detected by ADB.
It is my first time rooting an Android phone, I did the following to get to this result:
1. I used an handy tool called Tool All In One to unlock the bootloader https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ck-twrp-factory-image-stock-recovery.3930862/
2. I received a notification to update OxygenOS, I did so and rebooted
3. I flashed TWRP 3.6.0 using Tool All In One
4. I used the TWRP menu on the phone to install Magisk 23, after installing I wiped Dalvik
5. After it booted, I installed the Magisk app and used it to install Magisk using the recommended “direct install” method
6. I saw a guide doing things somewhat differently, I installed the Magisk module TWRP A/B Retention Script but I didn't do anything else the guide said because I did things in the wrong order (if it was to be considered the true way)
7. I wanted to boot to TWRP but I was unsure how. I pressed “Reboot EDL” on Tool All In One to see what it does (I didn't look it up what it actually was for, I just clicked on)
8. The phone is turned off/black screen, seems dead. Pressing and holding the power button does nothing, ADB doesn't detect it.

Well don't click if you don't know :|
First thing, try to press the power button for a long time and look what happen.
I think you put your phone in Qualcomm EDL mode to completely reset the phone.

I held the power button for like a minute, no dice.

I fixed it. Apparently I was too square brained to try vol up + power. It exited the EDL mode that way.

[Q] Help! Can't reboot into recovery...

Hello everyone. I have Katkiss Kitkat #19 and TWRP recovery 6.something but I can't remember which. Anyway, I use to reboot into recovery by holding down the Volume down, then press Volume up when prompted to get into recovery. Now the power and volume buttons are completely busted. I can't press any of them. And I need to go into recovery to flash the new Rom.
So, here is what I tried:
1. Rom Toolbox. I tried to "Reboot into recovery" option but it just reboots the ddevice.
2. Terminal emulator: su reboot recovery, it says reboot: no such order
3. Tried to hook it to my laptop and use ADB, but no devices attached. I have Windows 8.1 64 bit. I have Android drivers installed and in the device manager it say Asus ADB and it shows Asus in the "safely remove" but I still can't see it in the My computer. I have USB debugging on and it asked me to allow my laptop keys and I agreed. Still, ADB doesn't work.
I don't know what else can I do. I can't go into recovery, bootloader or APX mode without the power and volume buttons. Is there anything i can do, or am I stuck here?
Any help will be greatly appreciated...:crying:
There's a few different apps that let you boot to recovery

When you say the power and volume buttons are completely busted, have you tried taking the plastic bezel off and pressing the micro buttons under the normal silver ones ?

I tried the first one and six from the second link and none of them work. Actually, when I was installing Xposed, I pressed reboot, but it said Reboot: No such tool. I don't know what's going on.
The problem with the power button is that my kid dropped the tablet many times and it got so many dents, so I took of the casing (or whatever it's called0 and then straightened it out, out the buttons in their places and then glued it in place. Now it's really hard to press the power button (the one underneath) but it works. But how can I do that every time I want to power off or reboot into recovery, specially if there is a boot loop. I can't do anything except pressing the power button.
That's why I wanted an easy solution at least to reboot recovery.
May be I should take off the casing one more time and try to fix the power and volume buttons one more time.
I just want to thank you for your super fast reply and taking the time to find those apps.
Thanks a lot...
In the past, while still on stock ROM,I have been using this tool to overcome the missing "reboot to recovery" option in the regular Asus power menu: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.transformer.recovery
Now I have tested it on KK #19 and this tool apparently does not reboot the tablet BUT:
when I run this tool and then reboot the tablet normally (with the power menu...) I get into recovery.
So if you are already able to reboot normally through Rom Toolbox you might try to run this one first before rebooting with Rom Toolbox.
NOTE I imagine you are perfectly aware that you are playing with fire here.
In case your tablet gets into a boot-loop while installing the new ROM, you might end up with a useless tablet. Is it really worth the risk?

OK, you did it. You got me scared, so I separated the casing in the power button part and clicked on the original button with a small screwdriver and it worked. Also the volume buttons. Now I don't know what to do. May be the buttons are broken from the inside. I'll try to see if those are sold on ebay or something. If not, I'll try to attach something to them from the underside.
Anyway, I'm really grateful that you made me take this step. I'll fix it tomorrow first thing in the morning. Well, we both know I'm not gonna sleep until I get it fixed, hahaha.
Again, thanks a lot...

Phone only booting to bootloader after flashing magisk

Phone: OnePlus 7 Pro
Build number: Oxygen OS 10.3.0 GM21AA
Anndroid Version: 10
Model: GM1910
Hello Everyone,
So today I did a fresh install on my device using the latest version of O0S (10.3.0). I used the latest unofficial TWRP and flashed the latest version of magisk as well. So I installed swift installer, vanced youtube and renovate rice, had no idea ever after rebooting a few times and to install my theme.
I then installed adaway, afterwards I rebooted it in order to get everything saved correctly and everything was ok. Afterwards I decided to whitelist a website and after whitelisting and rebot this time the phone booted into bootloader.
So I flashed the magisk uninstaller and rebooted and the phone booted up without any issues. I tried rebooting and flashing magisk again and got the same issue once again. Tried uninstalled again and it booted again. So I tried flashing magisk one more time and then trying using the "magisk mod uninstaller" and it gave me an error saying that magisk wasn't installed.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
This will reset your phone to factory new. You will lose your data.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/op7pro-collection-unbrick-tools-t3956595
Some clarification:
1. Download the correct .zip and extract it.
2. Open the folder where you extracted the .zip file and run "MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe" by double clicking it. Wait for it to load.
3. Power off your phone.
4. Connect a USB cord to your Windows based PC. Keep the other end unplugged from your phone for now but within quick reach.
5. Hold the Volume UP and Volume DOWN buttons and while holding ONLY those two buttons plug the USB cord into your phone.
6. You should see your phone appear in the application. You can release the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons when your phone appears.
7. You have 10 seconds to hit the START button in the app or you will have to unplug and go back to step 3.
The app will reset your phone to factory like new. You will have to unlock your bootloader again. Your phone should be like the day you got it.
I had an issue with Adaway and Magisk bootlooping as well.
Not sure what causes it though.
Peace.

Haven't had any issues with it myself. But if you end up in a bootloop after installing a magisk module, get to twrp and navigate to /data/adb/modules in the file explorer. There you can delete problematic modules without resetting the phone.

Redmi note 9 softbricked

Hello, i do not know where to post this but i really need help solving this issue.
I was installing twrp on my Redmi note 9 (merlin) and once the set up was done my phone rebooted to twrp, but it took time (a lot of time).
And i could not resist the urge of pressing the power button to restart it, problem is miui was not starting and it was stuck at the boot logo, i figured out it was a great idea to press the power button again, but it booted up on twrp, wich worked but the screen seem to be frozen and doesn't register any tap on the screen or anything, and now each time i press the power button no matter how, it either boots on my broken twrp recovery, or boots on my absolutely destroyed os.
PS: No matter how hard i try it seem to be impossible for me to access fastboot too...

I was able to get this issue fixed by :
1 Installing adb
2 Opening cmd inside adb folder
3 Entering "adb devices" while the device was connected
4 Then entering "adb reboot bootloader" while the device was still connected
5 Once the device was in bootloader mode i installed miFlash and downloaded this rom : mifirm.net/download/4163
5.1 If you have an error with the drivers, create a folder named log inside of the said miFlash folder
5.2 Also make sure that the path to the rom is not too long (i heard that miFlash had problems handeling long paths)
6 Once everything was set up i just hit flash and flashed the rom onto the phone
7. You're done ! You successfully repaired your phone and saved him from the depth of hell!
If you have any problems or need precision on certain points make sure to ask me in this thread so that other people can get help too.
i had flashed k20pros dtbo img file by mistake and my phone is not even turning on and no fastboot no recovery what to do please help!!!

I Flashed My Note 20 Ultra With Recovery.img And Now Its Stuck On Orange State "Bootloader Unlocked" Warning Message!

Ok Guys So I Shouldn't Have Done This But I Used Fastboot To Flash Recovery And I think I Did It Wrong. It Said "ok" And Finished And I Rebooted Phone It Resetted And Then Stuck On The Orange State Bootloader Message. I Do The Recovery Mode And Goes Black And Nothing Is Responsive For a While, Sometimes Longer Than Others. This Happens If I Start Phone Normal Or Try Fastboot Or Download.
Because Of My Mistake I Cannot Connect To Pc Software And Im Not Sure Of What I Can Do. I Feel Like Im Not Going To Like The Answer For This But I Got To Take The Blame For This.
Btw i Have A Samsung galaxy Note 20 Ultra Sm-N986u
I think your phone is hard bricked
so you can't get fastboot using volume up+power or via adb?
rescue from manufacturer site pos or just device not being recognised?
It isn't hard bricked it's just way of Samsung trying to make life of simple people more difficult, people who paid for Samsung phones lots of money.
To sort that screen issues what you can surely do is,
Simply press volup + voldown buttons at the same time, no matter if you're on that orange screen or whatever just press those those two buttons at the same time and keep pressing them while you connect your phone to pc. you will boot into download mode. Then flash stock firmware for your phone. After stock of flashed Reboot and start your phone, go to developer options see if oem unlock option is there if it is then oem unlock it if it is not then go back to settings manually change date to year ago, then go to updates disable auto update, connect to WiFi, and press on update several times untill window shows up saying no updates, then go to developer options you should see oem unlock, unlock it.
Then boot into download mode and make sure you have working copy of recovery.
And make sure you follow instructions of whoever recovery you installed on how to boot into recovery. I have S20 plus and too had troubles with it, and the only working recovery for my phone is twrp customised. To boot into it after flashing recovery from odin auto reboot disabled I pressed voldown and power, USB cable connected, then after screen goes off I changed from voldown to volup while kept pressing power button and cable connected. Orange screen with warning showed up for 5 sec I kept pressing and it bottled to twrp and then I was able to install custom rom beyond rom and while installing in aroma I was able ti choose option to remove orange screen.
That's it.
I ran into the same error. I mistakenly loaded twrp's recovery into userdata instead of ap section. The phone was stuck at the orange screen and nothing was happening whatever i pressed. I waited till the battery to dry out and with 0% battery, i directly connected to pc and was able to get into download mode. Then i flashed stock and everything is now back to normal.

Question Phone bootloop at recovery mode.

Hi. After installing ROM from TWRP and restart, i got this as a bootloop. The problem is, it cannot boot into recovery despite the recovery word at the bottom left. So it looped on this page over and over. I tried all the known buttons and i cannot find anything similiar to my problem elsewhere. Anyone can help?

A bit more information , like phone model , how and which version you flashed.
otherwise pull battery (or wait to drain) charge and reboot back to download mode and reflash recovery.
this time making sure you do it right.
atleast ths is my procedure on samsung phones

Hi. Phone model Realme C2. TWRP flashing Realme UI. I think i made the mistake of formatting first or something before installing the ROM. I did took off the battery cable. Just that when the phone is powered on thru the cable, it also powered into the pic shown, which is a bootloop but can't boot into recovery. I believe this is an extremely rare situation. I'd be happy if it can boot into adb, then i can at least install back the original phone ROM.
Sometimes i managed to press and hold (vold down power) at the right time. on samsung phones
(right after it screen goes black i think) to get in to download mode during some bootloops.
But i am unfamiliar with fastboot mode i think your phone uses.
Try holding the physical buttons needed for you phones downloadmode/fastbootmode
while it is off and then plug the cable in ? just a guess though.

Hi. Nope. It will still boot into the screen on the pic, and it will loop over and over again. I took off the battery cable but when i plug the USB cable, it will also reboot into the pic with bootloop.
I felt that this is a very rare case of the phone screwing up. My initial intention was to install a light rom so i can use the extra space (even after root, App2SD doesnt work). Sigh.
if you remove the cable and let it drain , when it is off and you hold correct buttons for download/fastboot mode
and then plug the cable in it goes it to recovery mode ?
and keep trying press and hold different time in the loop , around the point of black screen/reboot point,
just before/at/and after.

Sorry, nope. It will boot into the Realme Logo and the recovery mode word on bottom left as shown in the pic. And then bootloop into the same thing again. It cannot enter recovery mode. I tried every combination of buttons with the battery attached and without. I believe the recovery section is erased, or it might be in another part of the memory but inaccessible.

are you sure you are trying button combinations for download/fastboot mode (not recovery).
we know recovery is fubared. so is system most probably.
you need to get in to download/fastboot to reflash recovery or stock firmware .
(hold buttons till you see download/fastboot , not just push and let go)
try correct button combination at all the different times in the loop.
and i had a siimmular problem once with a phone turning itself on and looping,
(turned out to be a glitchy power button , try fiddling with that , excersize it to get to unbind if it is)

Yes sir, i did. Tried all button combination at different times. The only thing that worked is the on/off button. When it is on, i press and hold a long time, and let go when the screen is off to turn off. And to turn it on, i press and hold a long time until the screen is on to turn on.
As noted, i might have screw up the installing 3rd party ROM process. I screwed up many times earlier, but i managed to reinstall back the original ROM because it was in adb. And now it isn't. Phones in my country aren't cheap, so if possible, i'd like to save this phone. My initial purpose to install a 3rd part ROM is to make use of the extra internal memory space (i rooted initially but i wasn't able to use App2SD).
so when you hold the power button and it turns off. then you need to use the
combination of buttons for fast boot to turn it on , not just power button .
make sure you have the correct buttons , double , tripple check with the correct buttons
and when to let them go.
