I still don't think that the actually bootloop problem has something with the hardware..
When my 5X died I was Stock+Rooted, does anyone without stock had bootloop?
This is the same thing I'm hunting for. It's strange that no one has posted anything about this.
I'm interested in this too, as the poll don't have this option... I've been looking on some roms thread and I can't find nothing about this for now.

I've now added a poll to the topic!
I'm still on latest 6.0.1 (MTC20K) rooted and I have no bootloop or any other problems. I have it from 6 months, but production date is 10/2015.

my dead 5x was factory reset and FRP locked bootloader locked stock all the way the day I bought it. Was on either final MM or 1st N. was a 790 manufactured in 10 of 2015. Began to start the "deathboots" a few minutes into FRP removal process some luck I have right?

I would say to you that being on MM never sounded so good to me before but if I were you I'd stay put sir.
Dear Community,
I just searched the past 2 days for a solution but I've not been lucky
Therefore I'd like to ask for help in this forum and hope there is some additional hint or hack I could try...:
So here's the situation:
OnePlus 5T (8/128) with a non booting or not "useful" OS (see last point what I've tried)
No TWRP or CWM
Stock Recovery present
Bootloader Locked
Allow Bootloader to be unlocked = FALSE
What I've already tried yet:
Flashing TWRP --> Not possible Bootloader Locked
Flashing regarding any other kinds like "update" or "flash all" as provided with TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE
ADB Sideload any available ROMS (Original "full" OP5T / FreedomOS / Omni8) --> ADB stops at 47% in Stock Recovery regardless of size of the ZIP file
Tried different versions of ADB (32 & 64 Bit / older & new / also with the LargeAddressAware approach / and on multiple PC's) --> Always same error (47%)
Stumbled upon the possibility to EmergencyDownload a factory flash due to Qualcomm chipset using the MSM-Download-Tool --> Only OnePlus 5 ROM available (no "T")
Mentioned EDL procedure works and OS is booting BUT neither Touchscreen nor USB OTG (for external mouse support) is working --> So I can't navigate and allow Bootloader to be unlocked again
Unfortunately I'm now stuck and have no more idea how to unbrick my phone again
What would help:
Any source to MSM-Download-Tool packed with a correct ROM for the OnePlus 5T
A Workaround to just flash TWRP via MSM-Download-Tool or Qualcomm's QFIL application in EDL mode
Some "hack" to bypass the locked Bootloader situation
Every appreciated Input you might have that I'm currently not aware of...
So PLEASE let me know of any approach that I could try or if you might have found a link or something else to a solution that might help me out of this disaster...
Many thanks in advance!
Tryouts due to your feedback:
@dreinulldrei - "fastboot boot recovery.img" tried with the original 5T Recovery.img also with blu_spark TWRP --> no luck...
SOLVED SOLUTION:
As the EDL factory flash ROM is currently not (or will never officially be) available public getting in contact with the OnePlus support team is required.
They have such a recovery tool (MSM-Download-Tool) with an appropriate ROM and are able to flash the device during a remote support session conducted via chat.
So by starting a chat on the OnePlus Support page and describing your situation will lead to scheduled time slot where a Level-2 technician will do all required steps remotely.
(All files are password protected and the technician ensures they are deleted at the end of the session so I'm unfortunately not able to provide the sources for DIY purposes...)
Following. I would think there would be some way to flash some sort of signed image via fastboot...
U flashed a 5 os to it, using the msmtool try to extract those files from 5t os, I will do it when I get home and so u can try it, i can't guarantee anything though, would u like me to do that for u

Thanks for your input - I'm really not aware of how to generate such *.ops ROM files as this is what the MSM Tool expects...
But if there is a way and you are able to extract and produce a MSM flashable file I would be very happy to try!
I would recommend trying to boot a OP5T recovery, you might have flashed some OP5 rom including OP5 recovery. Just go into fastboot (power on with volume up pressed down), then via cmd:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Since OP does not offer the recovery to be downloaded, it will need to be downloaded from a working device. Lacking the cable right where I am, but I am sure someone else can help out.

Thanks for the input - I forgot to mention I also tried the 2 original available OP5T "full" ZIP ROM's (think they should be signed...)
Will add this to the initial Post but I assume also no chance here...

Ohhh good point - I also think there is the "wrong" recovery (from 5) currently on my phone (because also there the touchscreen behaves unexpectedly...)
But unfortunately with your command I get the "Your device is corrupted. It can't be trusted and will not boot" message.
Tried this with the original 5T Recovery.img I managed to obtain and also with the blu_spark TWRP - no luck...
Edit: Ignore, misread previous post.
U may have to make a call to oneplus so they can restore for u
Submit a ticket to One Plus
You are going to have to submit a ticket, they will arrange a time to help you by unbricking the phone remotely.
I just had to do this myself this week, and it got done today.
I do have the 5t unbricking files but I cannot access the archive because it's password protected.
One important this you didn't mention is how this happened.
OnePlus may be able to help with this one, but all root guides explicitly include the phrase "at your own risk."

Thanks for all your advice - so I will arrange a support chat/ticket as soon as possible and inform about the result in this thread.
Didn't thought that OnePlus Support Team would even care about such bricks (no warranty / own risk / "playing" with root / etc...)
But as indeed they seem to help like @WMerkens experienced I would be very happy to have a working device again

don't know why you would think that OP wouldn't help...they have said from day one that unlocking/rooting does not void your warranty. Heck they encourage it. I assume you are the same person on the OP forum w/ this problem. Hopefully after you get this resolved you will have learned to NEVER EVER RELOCK your phone unless you do the whole factory image qualcomm recovery tool bit. and experienced OP folks on this forum know any claims of a "hardbricked" OP phone is ALWAYS not true.
Yeah oneplus used to be good about and does a remote session to restore, this was back in the one plus one days though, but I think they still do it

How I bricked a 5t
I got the phone and I had installed twrp, that went fine. I was looking at magick systemless rooter when the phone then kicked in with a OTA update, I chose to ignore it the first time. It occurred again a few minutes and in my haste I let it do it's job but it did not complete correctly. I rebooted and the phone complained about corruption to the OS, I got in again but made the dumb mistake of re enabling the OEM lock and because I thought that might be causing the problem. I rebooted again but now I could not boot any more into the OS, it complained I was corrupted and go to google to see what to do.
So I was left with a bricked phone.
I could do bootloader but not recovery and I could not unlock the bootloader.
I could not get in via adb usb debug, So after much research I download the OnePlus 5 unbricking pack and learned a whole lot about qualicom and EDL mode, plus I learned a lot about the QFIL tools and restoring a phone. I did the 5 unbrick but my screen ended up upside down but the touch was right side up, which resulted in a very hard to use phone.
I tried the QFIL method but I was missing a mdb file to be able to talk to the phone.
So I gave up submitted a ticket and after much bad co-ordination on their part got a level 2 tech to debrick the phone remotely.
They do a reverse VPN and connect to your computer, they tell you to have 2 files archive ready in a folder on your desktop (they supply the links). They install the EDL driver and unpack the debrick archive. The archives are password protected, they run the tool and restore the phone
back to factory.
They erase the unpacked archives after they are done.

Oh yes I've learned my lesson on this :angel: --> Never ever set OEM to be unlocked to NO again
Obviously I do not exactly know what wrong procedure made me stuck in this situation but I just wanted to revert every single step back one by one to see which element brings me back to a valid SafetyNet situation...
I've been with the OnePlus "family" since the OP1 but never needed any direct support from the vendor - so every time there's a first time and so for me now...
Thus I really didn't know OP staff is actively doing remote support for their devices - but thumbs up for that! :good:
(BTW: I'm not the guy from the OP forum)

Yes basically it's the same archive as the 5 unbrick pack but it's for 5t, OnePlus 5T OxygenOS 4.7.2-171116.zip is the archive and you can look in it and you see the ops file is for dumpling not cheesburger, which is the code name for 5t. I saw the MsmDownloadTool is 4.0.8

I just had a chat with them before and got mailed a link to the MSMTool incl. ROM for the OP5T (dumpling)
But unfortunatley support files from OnePlus are password protected Nevertheless here the original vendor link:
https://onepluscn-my.sharepoint.com/personal/sheva_liu_oneplus_net/_layouts/15/guestaccess.aspx?docid=0fde9596c72744b4fb9c073ca5d87edbe&authkey=AQPXKRi7pdIzZX-5WH_pwWg&e=1030aa0046da4d1aa9189020027d9c93
So I have to wait for my remote support schedule on Saturday to have the L2 technician entering the password and do the rest.
Would be able to do this myself but OnePlus obviously wants to protect their sources what I have to accept, respect and be patient for...
So, never turn off the OEM Unlocking?
Hi everyone, i have XA2 H4113 dual, after getting Android 9 pie i realized that its nothing different i got than Oreo, its so called software upgrade doesn't have sony Xperia new launched out of the box pie devices such as Xperia 10 and 10 plus user interface and launcher,
Over all its really disappointing to XA2 users which were hopeful for new UI and Launcher after updating 9.0 pie
So after deep consideration i am willing to root my device 1st time in life, but i want to root my device with one click root apps like King root, one click root or Kingo root, after watching several tutorials on YouTube about all these rooting apps i download and install one by one these all and try to root my device as per given instructions on tutorials , but no luck for me, please let me know and help me out what are the reasons behind rooting failure with these super easy and popular methods? Thanks in advance :good:
Probably none of the methods work on the newest os-es as the security has been hardend so you'll need to unlock the bootloader and the use twrp to install magisk...

Has anyone rooted this phone with lineageOS?
Tried addonsu and Magisk both seem to run ok when adb sideloaded through TWRP but don't actually work when booted into OS.
Why lineageOS hasn't got root by default?
So XA2 ultra user here and not sure if this helps, but magisk seems to install fine for us (discovery) but so far I'm having a ton of issues regarding freezes and reboots. Will search for a kernal fix, anyone have a clue to this? Just thought I'd inset my 2ยข into this and see if anyone has any insight to this. Thanks guys you do great work ?
Literally bought this phone 5 or so days ago. ALready unlocked the OEM and Bootloader which was hella easy and they remain unlocked (Unlock OEM switch grayed out and says bootloader is already unlocked).
I tried flashing TWRP using Odin but it always failed. I tried following a guide for the FN version but I think the problem is the version of TWRP I tried to use.
Does anyone know of a guide that would work for GN/DS models? Much appreciated if you can direct me. Thanks.

There is no a specific guide for the GN version, but you have to be sure to use the proper TWRP. It is plenty of sites out of there with the rigth TWRP.
Hi there, I have the same model and I came across this: https://mega.nz/#!oHwnAYDa!0vsrJIVedpwP-EmM4ZYYcimBb8ZmWBRrbfOQZGrgwww
Works very well, use standard TWRP guide, but this TWRP instead.
how did you unlock it ? because my A505GN doesnt have oem unlock toogle in developer options

I've been trying to unlock the bootloader of Realme X2, the CN version but I'm facing a problem.
The Problem is that whenever I try to install the bootloader unlocking app (In Depth Test), a message appears (see the attachment) saying "An app with the same signature has already been installed" although I've not installed it yet, and I can't find it anywhere on my phone assuming that it's pre-installed.
what should I do to install the app?
or is there any other method to unlock the bootloader that avoids installing the app as long as I can't install it?
N.B: a photo of the message is attached.
{Mod edit: Quoted post deleted}
Thanks for the advice.
I only want to unlock the bootloader to change the launcher because it's so annoying and I can't get used to it.
is there a way to do it? because I tried to uninstall it using adb uninstall command and it's not working.

Most likely you bricked your device by LOCKING BACK it, not by UNLOCKING bootloader.

Does this mean, if someone tries to relocking the bootloader after unlocking it, it will brick?

Not at all!
I made it about 5 times without any problems. The reason for bricking is non-stock contents of the partitions. Follow closely the Back to stock ROM howto guide to avoid this.

First, may you post the links of the right way to unlock the bootloader and rooting the device?
Second, does unlocking the bootloader or rooting harm the device in anyway? As some say the fingerprint won't work anymore, some say the gestures won't work and some say other things.
