Can you try to switch to download mode by press&hold VOL+ while inserting the USB cable (connected to PC). Phone needs to be off while doing so.

I tried not working
If i press&hold VOL+ while inserting the USB cable still my phone come with Qualcomm HS-USB Mode
thanks for your reply

What happens if you press&hold VOL- (furing the whole procedure) push the power button until the phone vibrates, release the button und press&hold the power button?

I don't know where to ask so I'm gonna try here. My G820N is stuck on Android 10 beta. Whenever I flash an official kdz, it only allows for emergency calls. Can't do anything. Any help would be appreciated

Try entering download mode with phone disconnected from USB cable.
Also try to see if it gets recognized by LG-UP or by LG Bridge. These 2 softwares don't need download mode to be able to flash, just the phone to be recognized on some PORT.
Try also factory reset hard menu. Also try switching between Slot A and Slot B. There is also this backup method. Phone is not dead on one of those slots.
If nothing works (but slot a slot b should 100% work) , wait for the firehose, it's just around the corner. That will restore the phone back 100%.
For more info search v50thinq on telegram app. :good:

I can t get to download as it freezes and without the USB cable it doesn't even try and enter. I appreciate the recommendations. I was thinking of the a/b seit hbut without the use of fastboot I am at a loss of how to switch between the two as I thought the system chose and the switch happened upon rebooting once a system had been selected ie as in turning the unit off after loading the os set a flag to go to the opposite system upon completing the inftframs and boot sequence.

Hi, i'm facing the same problem today, my QM will not go into any mode other than the Qualcomm mode. Were you able to recover your phone finally ?

So, if the device, as you say, lost power during an update like that, then almost assuredly you have at least one, if not numerous corrupted partitions.
And, it's specific partitions on the device that allow it to enter download mode. One of these most know about or have heard of is the laf partition. But other have to be there also for it to work, I don't remember exactly what the others off the top of my head, but that info is easily found.
The key thing you need (or any others commenting same prob), is to be able to enter EDL mode and have qfil installed and recognizing the device. If you can get that far, it would be easy to find the correct partitions you could flash with qfil and then immediately go from qfil to download mode.
Many many people have done this. Just get qfil set up (see guides section) and get the device recognized. that takes some effort but it's def doable.

OnePlus 7T bricked on Qualcomm Crashdump mode, unable to boot to fastboot

Hey everyone!
So, I've got a HD1903, 8GB RAM 128GB ROM. I updated to OxygenOS 11.0.02, but it was still buggy as hell, so I decided to downgrade. I also had rooted the phone, and decided to get rid of that too. I went to the stock fastboot roms page, downloaded the 10.0.13 ROM and used 'flash-all.bat' file to clear everything. But halfway, it reboots, goes into recovery, then goes to Qualcomm Crashdump mode. That's it. No code or anything, just Qualcomm Crashdump mode, in Blue and Red letters. I tried to hold vol-up, vol-down and power to get into fastboot, but it just loads the fastboot splash screen, then goes back to the same qualcomm crashdump mode screen. Even if i try to hard reset it, by holding vol-up and power, it still goes to the same screen.
Anyone know what to do? I have no idea how to use the 'MSM tool' that everyone talks about, so any guiding advice would be great!
Thanks!

DM me here - https://www.facebook.com/prantor.khan.16 I'll help

I didn't install TWRP, this was all on stock recovery. I also cannot get into fastboot mode.

Msmtool does not need twrp or fastboot--just the software, rom image, drivers, and button combo pushes and holding

OK, so I got it working again, thanks to the advice of reddit users, discord users and the latest msm tool and some googling. I held the vol-up and vol-down buttons for 30 seconds, then connected it to the laptop, with msm running, to a usb 2.0 port, and pressed start. hey presto, it worked. Thanks guys!!

Hello
Using the MSM tool is very simple, you just have to download it from this link.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12y3lO0wIgb2_LSDeVw9x_2C_HjbgZlb_/view?usp=sharing
NOTE: only works on Windows PC
1. Unzip the contents of the RAR into a folder.
2. Run the MSM application
3. Click Start.
4. Connect the cell phone in EDL mode (volume up + down button)
5. Wait for the process to finish (it takes a long time, please be patient)
6. The phone will restart automatically and a message will appear informing you that the equipment is damaged (don't be careful).
Note: The phone should automatically boot into fastboot mode and display a menu, but if it doesn't and instead boots to the T-mobile screen, you need to force shutdown with the power button for several seconds and then manually start it in fastboot mode. (volume up + volume down + power button)
7. Now you need to unlock the bootloader with the command from a Windows CMD window, but you need to download this ADB tool first.
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
-Unzip the tool into a folder
-Open a Windows command window, in administrator mode and direct it to the path where you unzipped the ADB tool.
8- Execute this command while the cell phone is connected in Fastboot mode.
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
9- A question will appear on the phone in which you must allow the unlocking.
-With the volume keys select the option to allow it and press the power button.
-At this time your bootloader will be unlocked.
10. Copy the ADB tool files into the folder where ROM 10.0.13 is and replace everything.
11. With the phone connected to the PC, on the command line, run the flash-all.bat file
12. When the phone restarts and the yellow and white letters appear informing that the phone is not safe because the bootloader is unlocked, repeatedly press the (volume down) button until a menu in Chinese appears.
-PC will detect the phone again in fastboot mode and continue to flash
-Leave the phone and PC still until the process is finished.
-In the command line it will indicate that it cannot find files or partitions (ignore it)
13. Finally, the computer will restart automatically and you will be able to use it normally.
Notes:
1. If the phone after the flashing process with MSM starts up and shows the T-mobile logo, don't worry, just turn it off with the power button and connect it in fastboot mode.
2. Do not try to use it with the firmware that I install with MSM, as it will not work properly.
3. Before locking the bootloader again (if you plan to do so) first update via OTA, to the most recent version of Oxygen, otherwise the system will crash again and you will have to repeat the whole process.

Oh wow that was a long and well defined post. Thank you for taking the time to type it out.
As it happens, I fixed my issue already (IDK if there's a solved flair for XDA or something?). I downloaded the latest (10.0.15) MSM Tool from the XDA page, held the vol-up and vol-down for 30 seconds this time (as per advice from discord users) got the phone into edl mode, connected to a usb 2.0 port and let msm tool do it's thing. Everything is working perfectly now.

I've got the same problem but even with holding vol up+down buttons for 30 seconds I can't get into edl mode. It boots into qualcomm crashdump mode. I don't have fastboot working, I only see fastboot splash screen for a sec and then qualcomm crashdump mode appears. Could someone help?! As soon as usb cable is connected phone boots into qualcomm crashdump mode. no matter what I do.

Also do service centers undertake servicing for such phones which bricked because of badly flashed roms.

If they're going to just change the motherboard, I wonder what the EDL mode is meant for. Anyways, I won't go for motherboard change one can buy a new and better phone at that kinda price.
Anyways, I Fixed it through EDL method, you have to hold vol up and down simultaneously and immediately connect to windows (while still holding both buttons) via original USB cable. Check with Device manager if your device shows up, it's easy enough but you might have to keep trying to you get it right. Thereafter, disable driver verification in windows and if Sahara communications failed message appears in msm tool, turn off phone and repeat the procedure again.

The repair peeps only fix hardware and not software. It's more cost effective for them to swap out hardware faster than messing with msmtool like us

OK, so you won't get any confirmation that you're in EDL modem you just have to wing it. What I did, I first opened the MSM tool on my laptop, connected the USB side to the laptop at a USB 2.0 port, and kept the USB-C side within easy reach. I held the buttons down with one thumb for 30-35 seconds, and while still holding them down with one hand, i connected the cable to the phone and clicked enum in MSM, it showed connected so I let the buttons go, and it didn't restart. I clicked start, and it worked for me.

You don't have to hold buttons for that long, you can immediately connect it to PC. There is usually a sound to indicate that a new device has been connected to windows, you can also keep device manager open for confirmation. This video really helped.

After receiving a " qualcomm crash dump" , I was able to boot into recovery. Then I had done a factory reset.
Phone turns on fine, charges as well.
Although, On my Laptop / Desktop it does not see the phone within MSM, ASs well as ADB, Fastbootd or device manager.
I have the correct drivers downloaded.
Ideas ?

Tried both, my desktop would always connect, adb, fastboot, etc.
I had just just freshly installed oneplus drivers including qualcomm on my laptop. Device was not recognized before driver installation or after.
Figure id try on my Mac, and linux laptop. no dice.
ADB is enabled.
Here are the drivers that are installed on my PC ( I enabled hidden devices, in order to see them ) These were recognizing prior to " qualcomm crash dump" . Not phone will not even be seen

Question can't get into edl mode

how can I get oneplus 9 pro into edl mode while it's refusing to turn off?
keep in mind that I can't use adb. but was able get fastboot devices command to work
and I did not use any third party roms, didn't unlock the bootloader, and do not have root.
I just updated to the latest oxygen os 12 c44
I have tried: fastboot edl reboot, fastboot oem edl, fastboot edl-reboot and none of them worked
I need a way to make it go into edl mode

Have to tried with the button combo? if yes what was the result?

the button combo as in vol+ and vol-
yes I did
I tried to force reboot... and as soon as it tries to reboot I hit the button combo
it takes me back to the fastboot

I had the same issue yesterday and this is what worked for me. Takes a few tries. Just be sure all drivers are good. Without being connected to the pc do the button combo, after a second plug it into the pc with MSM open whilst continuing the button combo. The screen will give a quick flicker of black/green and It will eventually connect to the MSM tool.

Make sure you have the proper driver installed. And try using a different cable that the C cable that came with OP9 Pro.... If you are sure the driver is installed, do the following.
1. Open MSM tool and select required options.
2. Make sure he mobile is switched off.
3. Connect the USB cable to the computer and then connect the other end to mobile while holding vol + and - buttons. It will then show connected in MSM tool for 2 or 3 seconds. Immedeately click "start" in MSM.
This worked for me.

Thanks you guys
it worked for me
I am now able to get into edl mode

Thanks! The trick with a different than the OEM cable helped me. I have flashed a different .ops file than the one on my OnePlus 8 (wanted to transition from T-Mobile to Global), and after that, the phone was booting straight into fastboot, without the possibility to boot into edl or recovery...

Question Need help unbricking -> EDL not accessible for MSM

[SOLVED see post below]
Hi all,
Just bricked my Phone and can't access MSM. Hope you can help me. I will try to be very clear on the steps I took to get to this point.
Device: EU OnePlus 9 Pro
What is was trying to do: Go from rooted C.47 to Pixel Entended ROM
What I did:
Code:
Unrooted using Magisk uninstall option
Updated to c.48 through OTA
Go to lineageOS page on how to ensure all firmware partitions are consistent
very stupidly did not flash dtbo and vendor boot partition
did adb reboot fastboot in stead of abd reboot bootloader
Download the "lineage-19.1-20220701-recovery-lemonadep.img" and tried to temporaryly flash it by
fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img
This resulted in the device getting stuck on the 1+ boot logo.
I can still force turn it off by holding Volume Up + Power.
When I try to access EDL by turned off and Vol UP + Vol Down + Plug and release, My PC makes a connection sound and the screen stay black for a while. After +- 10 seconds, the PC makes a disconnection sound and the phone boots up and gets stuck again on the 1+ bootup icon.
Also my phone won't stay turned off when plugged in the charger or pc

Yes, but what is it presenting as (i.e. EDL, fastboot, ADB, UMS...) when it connects?
If this is Windows, UsbLog.exe is handy to identify things popping up (as long as they have drivers installed).
For a list of devices that have ever tried to connect, try "enumusb.exe /l".
Both available here: https://www.temblast.com/windows.htm

I will try this

I found the issue:
> EDL exits after 10 seconds if it is not captured by the MSM tool.
> The MSM tool only monitored 4 of my 10 USB ports
> So it was not captured because I was plugged in to an unmonitored USB port and rebooted after 10 seconds
> I have successfully used the MSM tool now

Oh! A bit off-topic, but I have never understood why EDL is commonly used over a "serial" port.
The interface that EDL presents is a generic USB bulk interface with two endpoints. You can use it just like that.
But no. They have to use a Qualcomm driver that makes it look like a "serial" port and then you can connect to that.
Me? I use a generic "WinUSB" Zadig driver. I have an EDL client that just connects to that fine.
So does the Python client implementation.
Also, I've never run into that 10 second timeout.

Your phone needs to be in OFF state mode when you're using EDL.
So, very simple:
Enter bootloader mode by holding both volume buttons with the power button together till your phone restarts and enters the bootloader.
From the bootloader screen you can use the volume buttons to navigate through the choices and you can select "Switch off".
When you complete this, you need to hold both volume buttons, and while holding them connect the cable (PC).
If you don't have or you don't have the correct Qualcomm EDL drivers installed, your phone will reboot or start to boot, it won't stay in EDL mode for longer than 10 seconds.
I also got the correct drivers for you, but you need to install the drivers manually while your device is in "EDL" mode, so, you need to be a bit "fast".
I have even a video for you, but need to upload it to YouTube so you can watch it.
I'll share you here the drivers just in case if you're familiar with a manual installation of the drivers.

Hold both volume buttons and power bottom to enter fastboot mode, in fast boot mode type fastboot boot twrp.img or what ever the twrp image name is and in twrp boot to EDL.

thanks, but I was completely unable to enter into twrp... when I put fastboot boot twrp.img or similar filename It always restarts and bootloops
Any idea what twrp version works?

With that it restarts but not load TWRP

I've been through some woes this week with MSM Tool and my advice for anyone that gets to that point this week when trying to get to Android 13 with root:
If you open MSM Tool and you don't see any ports or devices listed (ever), then you have a driver problem. If you get the Sahara error you have the wrong MSM Tool or more-likely, you didn't play Simon Says correctly with your buttons.
If you get the sahara error or you cannot ever get your phone into EDL mode, then do the following:
Take a deep breath
Unplug your phone
Grab your phone like a crab claw and mash both volume buttons and the power button so you can easily hold all 3 at the same time
Hold all 3 down for 30 seconds then let go
Wait a few seconds
Hold ONLY the volume buttons down for a few seconds
Did the phone turn on? If not then sweet the phone is off off
Now hold both volume buttons down for 10 seconds and then plug in your usb cable with MSM Tool already open
You should now be in EDL mode and if not you're bad at Simon Says so try again
If your screen is black and you get nothing back from MSM Tool then it's your drivers.
I focused so so much on changing PCs and cables and MSM Tools and fastboot commands when in reality drivers were my issue from the beginning and MSM Tool and EDL mode are both flakey. The above steps worked for me 100% of the time. You just have to actually wait a long time between your steps.

Time to MSM, there has to be a way to EDL!
