"Device is corrupt" HELP! - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

I was just trying to install the 9.0.6 update manually following the instructions in the thread for it here on xda and it wouldn't work. I uninstalled magisk and restored images through magisk manager as the directions stated to do. I couldn't get the update to show in the local upgrade section under system update so decided to reboot to see if that would fix it but now my phone will not boot. It goes to a screen that says my device is corrupt and won't go past that. It says to hit the power button to continue but that just makes it boot back to that screen and if I just wait the phone shuts off.
Any help is appreciated.
(UPDATE) Thanks for the help guys. I got the phone booting again by flashing the 9.0.6 ROM in fastboot. I'm still getting the "device is corrupt" message and have to hit the power button twice to get it to boot so if anyone knows a fix for this I would appreciate it. At least I can use the phone now.

You could try to use msm download tool linked above or flash the full rom again since you can get into fastboot. I'd prob try that before the msm tool though.

Thanks. I got that part and was able to get my phone booting again but I still get the corrupt device message when I start the phone. Wish I knew how to get rid of it. IS there any return to full stock methods that also locked the bootloader and restore all partitions to stock? That is the only thing I can think of that might work.

Someone say that wiping all with stock recovery solved, but device work fine also whit that message, otherwise you can try MSM Download Tool, it will restore all stock to 9.0.5 with locked bootloader.

Use the MSMDownloadTool for the international version, it's the only way to bypass the verity trigger, it will restore the device to full stock as if you never unlocked the bootloader to begin with.

[Q] Please Help! LG G2 Boot Stall

I rooted my phone some time ago. Saw a LG OTA update last night and tried to install it. The system reboots itself and stuck on the LG logo screen. From then on I can not get out of it. At first I can not power the phone off (I can now.). However, I can not go to either the download mode or the recovery. (could go to the recovery at first, tried to do a hard reset but failed, stuck there. and for whatever reason cant go there anymore.) I downloaded the LG PC suite today and tried to restore it. But the G2 wont go to the download mode. How can i fix it, Help!

you can try this but you need Ubuntu and I'm not exactly sure it will work(also you need to find the correct files for your model), also if your phone is under warranty you can try taking it to att store and telling them update killed your phone but of course don't mention anything about root

okay now you have to be quick when you do this to get into download mode...
plug your usb into your phone and have it hanging in the usb port in the computer or plug.
now hold the power button until it turns off.
quickly plug in the port/plug and hold the up button.
you have to do it really quickly. took me a few tries.
once in download mode restore to factory whichever image you choose.
ive had this done a couple times to my phone and it does work if you act quickly.

Maybe i can just flash one of the stock firmwares with ODIN and at least boot the phone, and disable the OEM option in the developer settings?
That may work. Sorry I don't have much experience on the matter. Disabling frp was probably the first thing I did to give me peace of mind. Give it a try!

Now the problem is that TWRP is installed but not working properly
Gotta fix that as well!
Happened to me a few weeks back. Download and flash stock with Odin, boot, put in your Google account details when asked (phone won't work without it), go into dev options and make sure OEM Unlock is selected. You're now good to go again to flash TWRP with Odin again.

However TWRP for some reason is installed but, aside of the fact that always asks about being read only or not every boot, i can't access any storage
Must be some weird permissions stuff!

Try searching over the forum, follow (ALL) the instructions on this post to get TWRP working properly. (All data will be lost so you'd better make a backup).

It's because, when you install stock back, the phone will be encrypted again. TWRP can't read Samsung encryption. In TWRP you will need to formate (not wipe) the data partition. As said above, you will lose everything.

Possible root for Tab S2 SM-T818V and SM-T818A aka SM-T819

I have a possible root solution for the T818V/T818A aka the Verizon and ATT version of the T819 if any one is interested in giving it a go?

Here we go. This is for T818VVRU1AQB1 firmware, but probably works on any revision 1 firmware.
Instructions
1. Enable OEM UNLOCK
In Settings>About>Software info tap the build number 7 times to enable developer options. Once you've enabled developer options, developer options will appear in settings just above the About device option. Open developer options, the 4th or 5th option should be “OEM Unlock”. Turn on.
2. Download the eng boot image.
This is a special boot image normally used by engineers, it allows selinux to be booted in permissive mode with relaxed root restrictions.
Do not replace this image with the stock image after rooting your device or you will possibly soft brick your device.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862710309
3. Install boot image:
Download Odin v3.11.1
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the SM-T818V_eng_boot.tar to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
Reboot
Check in Settings>About>Software, your device should be in Selinux permissive mode.
4. Install and run Kingroot:
Make sure you have an internet connection.
You may need to run Kingroot several times to gain successful root.
5. Install and run SuperSU me to remove Kingroot and convert to SuperSU (not required) :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ore&pcampaignid=APPU_1_uzPDVbGyFcGNyATHrqmoCA
6. Wifi fix:
modify the line below in /system/build.prop:
ro.securestorage.support=true to false
Good luck I hope it works for you. Let me know your outcome.

The boot image flashed OK with odin? Which splash screen?
This could mean you need to wipe the data partition first for it boot.
I should be able to get the stock firmware for you sometime tomorrow.

Flashed fine. It's the screen that says Android very big and had the tab model, right before it goes into the boot animation.
I'll wipe data partition and report back.
Please don't feel responsible for it, I'm about trying anything for rooting... I'm sure we'll get fixed

Sure, we'll get it fixed no worries.
Anyway it seems like you need the accompanying botloader if its getting stuck on the bootloader animation.

If it still doesn't boot I'll give you a link to the entire engineering firmware via PM. Then se how you get on with that and gaining root.

Are you saying that the full firmware didn't flash either? At what point does it fail?
Anyway don't worry I'll upload the stock AQA3 firmware later.
EDIT: I think this is all you'll need to get booting again. Flash via AP in ODIN.
If not I'll give you the link to the entire firmware.

To do what, Root?
youve posted multiple files, i just wanna make sure i flash the right one(s), and can relay my results

SOLVED:Stuck at PIN input, then reboots

Well, I f*cked up.
Fastboot works, I can flash stock rom via Xiaomi Flash. Flashing completes without any problems. A notification about encypting phone shows up, at 3% it jumps to 100% and resumes boot. Now after each boot, phone freezes at "input your sim pin" and reboots. Over and over again. What can I try, please help :

no luck, removed sim and now it reboots as soon as android one text is displayed
I've also tried wiping cache in default recovery, no luck

Try to format data in twrp or stock recovery.
If it does not work flash an android 8.0 or Nougat ROM. Do not lock the bootloader.
Let me guess. From Pie to Oreo or Nougat?

will give it a read, it it works, I'll PM you and you'll give me your paypal address. Fair is fair.
can't unlock OEM, because I can't boot up to developer tools. great, just great. will try to fix that first.
if you can boot to fastboot try to flash stock pie 10.0.4.0 with miflash, after that your device should be able to boot, than unlock OEM and bootloader and downgrade to what version you want

I can get to fastboot yeah, but MiFlash tool says that remote oem unlock is not allowed. So I'll probably have to open it up for EDL. Reboot to edl isn't working. Thanks for the advice tho.

i had a problem like yours, but i have flashed stock rom in non EDL mode and everything had start to work apart LTE band missing that i restored with qualcomm's tools
which stock rom have you try to flash? are you downgrading from oreo? bootloop on android one logo after downgrading is a common issue due to ARB (anti rollback protection)

reward is cancelled from this point on i will reward the one who helped me so far tho. still working on solving the problem so winner has not been decided yet.
you don't understand.
There are no winners and no loosers.
You are free to donate to anyone you want, but your post boost and encourages a bad attitude.
If people start to solve only paid problems, the spirit of the community will be destroyed.
The problem is with the Pie specific partition table
I write the whole guide from memory, so it can differ a bit.... I skipped some steps ( erasing, reboot, fastboot mode, TWRP loading via fastboot, OEM unlock )
From previous writings I think you can know the skipped steps.
Keep in mind: It is dangerous, you can loose your IMEI ( it will only work again with Pie - or there are some writings at forum how can you manually change it. ).
Steps:
1 - Backup with TWRP (fastboot) efs,persist,modem & make copy to your computer and or to your cloud provider.
2 - Create a new folder in Internal Storage -> TWRP -> BACKUP -> With a new date directory ( the backup already made one, make a new folder, with different date )
3 - Download someone's older TWRP backup from xda (I cheated, I copied the following links ) :
(I'm still a new user, so can't directly write url's )
Mediafire : https COLON SLASH SLASH bit.ly SLASH 2QU5NtC
Mirror: Google Drive : https COLON SLASH SLASH bit.ly SLASH 2UN1DTo
4 - Unpack, and copy EFS to the folder created 2 point
5 - Fastboot TWRP -> Restore EFS
6 - Flash the Official latest firmware from en.miui.com ( If you want to make sure go with EDL mode )
7 - Now, the IMEI & Mac addresses are missing. Don't panic! Download update with System Updates.
8 - When you are on Pie again, restore your first TWRP (fastboot) persist partition
9 - One more System restore
At this time, you will have IMEI & Mac addressees, and hopefully a working phone.
Hope this helps. The same thing happened with me 2 weeks ago. This is how I solves it.
Thank you, I solved it yesterday. Hopefully this post will come in handy for other people!
