For completeness of the argument ...
I had one last site with manual action on redirect, Google continued to reject the request for reconsideration.
it was the fault of this redirect on .htaccess that sent everyone to the domain with www.
Code:
#RewriteCond% {HTTP_HOST} ^ xxxhashtag \ .com $ [NC] RewriteRule ^ (. *) $ Http://www.xxxhashtag.com/$1 [R = 301, L] RewriteCond% {THE_REQUEST} ^. * / Index .php
#RewriteRule ^ (. *) $ Index.php http://www.xxxhashtag.com/$1 [R = 301, L]
Removed this, the manual action was revoked
