I think I lost fastboot*D* (?) - OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers

**solved with unbrick tool, see post #3, thanks
OnePlus 7t GM1905 (North America)
'fastboot reboot fastboot'
Phone boots to Chinese screen (and stops).
computer powershell stuck at '< waiting for any device >'
If I manually select boot to fastboot on phone, I get error: 'fastboot: error: Failed to boot into userspace fastboot; one or more components might be unbootable.'
History:
I got my phone - first OnePlus
I installed msm xtended rom, no problems
I installed AOSIP rom, no problems
I installed Omnirom (had to dump a payload file, but got it up and running)
Problems:
I wanted to go back to msm xtended rom
The phone won't reboot into fastbootd. It also wasn't recognizing with the same USB port and cable I was using yesterday.
I can still boot into stock OnePlus 7t, and access recovery, sometimes wifi/bluetooth does not turn on, but otherwise seems pretty normal.
I can try to flash roms (including stock), but they fail on the 'fastboot reboot fastboot' command. Also have problems with fastboot -w.
SDK 29.0.6
I used OP 7t cable, & 2 Anker cables (all USB A - USB C)
I flashed a Xiaomi between yesterday & today; maybe I need to reinstall drivers for the OP 7t(?) I don't think the 7t is recognized in device manager; at least I did not understand how to see it in device manager following these directions for Unbrick tool. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/op7t-unbrick-tool-to-restore-device-to-t3994835
Thanks for any advice or tips on searching. And thank you for the development. Seems like searching for "fastbootd" is a bit tricky

Fastbootd is a tricky fish and I'm not shocking you're having issues. Sounds like you might want to use the MSM Tool and completely factory reset your device. Should also replace/fix fastbootd

Thanks, using the unbrick tool solved it.
To anyone searching in the future----
#1, unless you have used omnirom in the past & know you like it, I would suggest avoiding it. I liked xtended the best, then AOSIP, then Omnirom. xtended & AOSIP are easy to flash
I was having problems with getting the 7t recognized in the unbrick tool. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/op7t-unbrick-tool-to-restore-device-to-t3994835
basically, I was having trouble getting it recognized as (QDLOADER 9008 or QHUSB_BULK in faq)
solution was to start unbrick tool, select O2, get ready to click start- power on, keep holding down vol up & vol down; and when phone was recognized in unbrick tool (still never saw QLOADER or QHUSB), quickly hit start on unbrick tool.
i didn't click 'enum', didn't have time.
more info in post #28 & #33, and others in that thread
I forget which drivers I ended up having installed. You can find OnePlus drivers online, & the qualcomm stuff is listed in that unbrick thread faq

Is my supposed non-brickable ZUK Z2 bricked????

Having searched far and wide for a solution for my problem (and stumbling across the fact that it is great that the ZUK Z2 is really not brickable) I wonder if there is not one...?
I was simply attempting to flash the Lineage rom (coming from AEX) but kepy getting an Error 7 (if I remember correctly), which is apparently fairly common, but for which none of the proposed solutions was working for me.
It was suggested to carry out a FULL WIPE (so I did this, including internal storage).
I then installed an alternative recovery mode to TWRP (the current one), without actually removing TWRP...so possible conflict here...?
So:
There is currently no OS on phone
I can open my phone in fastboot mode
Impossible to open recovery mode (which is the real killer)
Impossible to get phone recognised as external drive (and hence modify what is on it) - I can get it recognised by the device manager but only as QL.... not my actual phone
Impossible to communicate with phone through adb (logic, since phone not recognised
Since I cannot communicate with the phone in any way OR get the phone into recovery mode, my hands are tied as I see it...I really don't know what can be done from here :crying:
If anyone has any idea of how my phone could be saved, your help would be VERY MUCH appreciated
Thank you in advance for any feedback at all.

Which recovery comes when you choose recovery option when you choose recovery by pressing start when phone is powering on before zuk logo..
You can use cable method (by shorting cable and going to edl mode) and qpst to safety.

Thank you very much for your suggestion, Sanjay, it is very much appreciated :good:
When I choose recovery, everything just "hangs" - black screen that doesn't go anywhere (that's why I thought that maybe there was some kind of conflict, where the phone didn't know how to chose between the two options perhaps (pure specuclation!)
I have tried the solution you suggest, but it didn't work for me.
I will re-attempt this an extra ten times or so (you never know) just in case, and let you know how things go.
This one:
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/how-to/reboot-to-edl9008-modetotally-bricked-t3720932)
OK, so still no luck...
I used a method to use some tinfoil in the usb to get the device recognised in the device manager - it appears as => Android Device >> ShenQi Composite ADB Interface
The phone is in fastboot mode at this stage.
However, in ADB still no recognition of the phone
When entering "adb devices" I get "List of devices attached" and then blank
If I try "fastboot oem edl" I get < waiting for device >
"Adb reboot edl" gives me => "error: device not found"d
So essentially it still comes down to the fact that my device is not detected...although strangely there are signs of life in device manager (although I don't know what ShenQi Composite ADB Interface refers to ???)
Alternatively I see that it is possible to actually buy an EDL cable from China or something (https://www.magnetforensics.com/blog/qualcomm-phone-edl-mode/)
This appears to be restricted to other devices, but similar issue:
https://www.xda-developers.com/exploit-qualcomm-edl-xiaomi-oneplus-nokia/
Other devices can also use what’s known as a “deep flash” cable, which is a special cable with certain pins shorted to tell the system to instead boot into EDL mode. Old Xiaomi devices can utilize this method, along with the Nokia 5 and Nokia 6. Other devices will also boot into EDL mode when they fail to verify the SBL.
Does anyone know if this would actually work with an EDL cable approach???
Any other ideas out there?
I'd be willing to give someone some money if they were able to work through this issue with me, if they think that there is a solution here..else the phone is just spare parts :-/
Thank you in advance,
Charlie
For a little added information, the other recovery was: TWRP Red Wolf
(https://zukfans.eu/community/thread...r-image-error-7-installing-a-custom-rom.8347/)
While flashing this with TWRP there was an option to flash to.... I don't remember the options and can no longer consult to check, BUT at 2am, about to give up, and not knowing exactly what to select, I selected about 3 options at this stage
I believe there were something like 5 options and I selected "boot" I think, plus..?
Very stupid of course and obviously I was too confident in not creating a problem that couldn't be solved!
I have been playing around with flashing ROMs etc for the last 10 years, over 3/4 different devices and despite having read all the warnings, since over this time I have never had any issues, I kind of considered it to be almost impossible to get into a situation where things are irretrievable...so my comuppance :-/
Again, if anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate

Edl cable approach would work for you.. Here is the thread guide for you..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/how-to/deep-flash-revive-zuk-z2-hard-brick-t3577146..
Also I would suggest to stick to official twrp as that's more stable as compared to redwolf..
Hit thanks if it helps.
Thank you again Sanjay.
I have ordered a new lead (to cut open and attempt this intervention)!
I will let you know how I get on.
OK, I have done the cable trick and PORTS shows up in the device manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5)", which seems to correspond with what was needed.
What should I do next exactly ?
The phone no longer actually shows any signs of life - I hope this is normal

You can go ahead with qfil now.. You should see same port in qfil as well.
Once qpst is completed phone should boot up..
After some issues with the Sahara error (needed to update to edl mode and press download immediately) I finally managed to flash back to stock ROM
Thank you for all of your help!!!

[OPN105G][OOS METRO BE88CF] Unbrick tool to restore your device to OxygenOS

Disclaimer: By attempting any of the processes listed in this thread you accept full responsibility for your actions. I will not be held responsible if your device stops working, catches fire, or turns into a hipster and claims to have been modified before it was cool.
Hi everyone, similar to the previous threads for
OP3, OP3T, OP5, OP5T, OP6, OP6T, OP7, OP7PRO, regular OP7T, T-Mobile OP7T, regular OP7TPRO, T-Mobile OP7TPro 5G, regular OP8, T-Mobile OP8, Verizon OP8, Visible OP8, OP8Pro, OP Nord, regular OP8T, T-Mobile OP8T, regular OPN10 5G and regular OPN100 here is the EDL package (also known as MSM tools or unbrick tools) that can revive a bricked OnePlus Nord N10 bought from Metro by T-Mobile.
As this is a carrier specific MSM, it will only work with BE2025 model with build tag BE88CF
You should also be able to rollback your phone to a previous release of OOS with them if for some reason you want to go back to an older firmware
You can download the following versions:
ANDROID 10:
OOS 10.5.8
Mirror for first and last MSMs: https://onepluscommunityserver.com/
Instructions:
Launch MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe.
On the login prompt select "Other" in the dropdown menu and click on Next.
Wait a few seconds until main window shows up.
Press Start button so that it waits for your device to be connected
Power off your device
Maintain volume up and down buttons to get into Qualcomm EDL mode.
Plug your device to your computer.
Should you not manage to do that and have adb access, you can use adb reboot edl instead
Wait ~300 seconds.
Enjoy your brand new device.
FAQ:
Does this work on Mac or on Linux?
Unfortunately no, tool is Windows only. You should need at least Windows 7.
Why is my antivirus freaking out when unzipping the archive or running the tool?
In an effort to protect reverse engineering from being done (and by extension prevent conversion process like it was done on 6T and 7Pro), OnePlus now use VM Protect V3 in their MSM tools. As this tries to detect debug environment, this is seen as malicious behaviour by some antivirus.
My device isn't detected
Go to device manager and make sure your phone shows up as QDLOADER 9008.
If it shows up as QHUSB_BULK, it means Qualcomm driver wasn't installed automatically by Windows Update. Download the latest one from Microsoft website at http://download.windowsupdate.com/c..._fba473728483260906ba044af3c063e309e6259d.cab (source https://www.catalog.update.microsof...updateid=8ee52ba0-bdef-4009-88cf-335a678dd67a ) and install it manually by right clicking on QHUSB_BULK and selecting "Update driver software" and "Browse my computer for driver software" to where you downloaded CAB file.
If you can't get into EDL mode by hardware keys, you may use adb reboot edl (will require your phone to still have ADB access)
MSM tool is stuck on "Param pre-processing"
Ensure you're using the Qualcomm drivers linked above.
MSM tool is stuck on "Sahara communication failed"
Unplug your phone, get in fastboot mode, turn off phone, wait 15 secondes and get back in Qualcomm EDL mode. You can also try using a USB 2.0 port instead of a 3.0 one.
What is SMT Download mode?
Just don't try to unlock that mode, it will wipe your IMEI and your Widevine certificate if you use it.
How can I fix "SMT config not found" error?

Thank you.
I used it yesterday after I screwed up my Nord N10 5g. I hadn't used msn since last year on another device I sold, so had to be real careful getting back in the saddle.
It worked fine - no issues - except it took 500 seconds not just 300 - lol.
So I got everything downloaded and installed once I get the nord in edl mode it shows as bulk driver I tried to install the cab through driver update and my pc doesn't see it what can I do to fix that
The URL with links to files doesnt seem to have the current version of BE2028 - T-Mobile - 11.0.1.BE88CB
D:
the problem i encountered was it showing up as unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed) in device manager
Hi, I have bricked my Nord N10 Metro PCS while installing magisk patched boot. The phone is stuck in fastboot mode. Kindly assists. Do you have the T Mobile Android 11 Firmware? I was on Android 11 with August security patch

If you bricked it, then you have to unbrick using the provided tool here, it's only android 10, though. Afterwards you must do OTA.

Hello. I have OnePlus Nord N10 5G model BE2029 and cannot get it unbricked. MSMTool fails with error "Param failed". Can you point me to the right ROM, I have been struggling whole day and still no luck.
My friend, I don't know how to thank you for this. After the update that I did on my phone about 1 month ago, I have been going crazy with having problems sending texts and making calls whether on 5G or 4G. I got together with oneplus customer service today to revert back the OS, for me and it was no help. This has been perfect!!!! thank you so much!!!
My OPN105G is forever stuck on "waiting for device" in both status of communication and status of last communication... i tried like over 20 times. the device manager shows it fine as 9008.
Hello quick question,,, will this lock my bootloader?

Yes. It puts you back to default stock.
As long as you have your unlock.bin file, you can unlock your bootloader again though.
Spent four hours trying volume buttons and adb method. Nope... Don't waste your time. This works for I'm assuming 1 out of every nobody on planet Earth.
Your browser is not able to display this video.
MSM has readback function which can grab stock boot for patching

Question Bricked and EDL doesn't work

It was only a matter of time before my first brick with this phone. Earlier this evening I tried to factory reset from TWRP and clean flash latest OOS, but it spewed out a whole bunch of partition errors. After various efforts, here's the current status: It won't boot to the OS from either slot. TWRP says no OS installed. On Slot A, it won't boot to recovery either, and the only thing I can get to is fastboot. On Slot B, I can get to TWRP recovery, but all storage is gone (and I've since done a full wipe so there's nothing on it anyway). Any attempts to do adb push or sideload result in the error "adb: error: failed to get feature set: no devices/emulators found", so I can't install anything unless there's another way I'm not aware of.
I'm trying to get into EDL by powering off the phone, then holding down both volume buttons while I plug in the USB cable. It shows up in Device Manager for about 2-3 seconds as "Qualcomm QDLOADER 9008" and then disappears for a second before going directly into fastboot. I've rebooted my computer to disable device driver signing and install the latest Qualcomm drivers per this guide, but the latest drivers are already installed. I've tried a different USB cable and a different USB port.
1) Is there another way to get into EDL mode?
2) Is there anything else I can try from TWRP, adb, or fastboot?

Was in the same situation few days ago on my 8 Pro not the 9 Pro. Couple of things you could try:
1. The new TWRP had a "Reboot to EDL" option in the advanced section for the first time. Check if the 9 Pro TWRP has the same.
2. My device was only going into fastboot & could boot TWRP, with the same QUALCOMM crashdump error. It would auto power-up the second a cable is inserted, I had to try many reboot-to-EDL programs out there but none worked as the device was playing up. Keep trying MSM.
3. This is weird, but it's what worked with me. The 11.0.4.4 MSM for 8 Pro failed to recognise my device altogether, it's 11.0.3.3 one that worked. With that one, it didn't read the device until maybe the 10th trial. So see if different MSM versions are available for the 9 Pro, and again keep trying MSM.
Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did try the "Reboot to EDL" option but it didn't work for me. And I think we only have one MSM version for this model so far. I'll keep trying till it works or I figure something else out.

You don't have to stick to one model. You can use MSM of 11.2.2.2 EU or 11.2.4.4 India for example, then flash the stock update of a different region, as long as it's an upgrade not the same version.
I did upgrade from 11.0.6.6 AA to 11.0.8.8 EU locally on my 8 Pro. I would imagine it's the same, haven't tested it on my 9 Pro yet though.
I finally got it flashed back to OOS via TWRP and booting normally again. However, it concerns me that I couldn't ever get EDL working, in case I ever really need it. I'll have to keep working on that "just in case".
After trying several things in various orders, I reformatted /data, after which adb push started working. I was able to push the latest full .zip and after a couple more errors I was able to flash it to both slots and reinstall TWRP. I did get an error when I went to reboot that said something like "No OS installed... are you sure you want to reboot?" however it booted into the OS that time.
Anyway, thanks to those who offered suggestions. I'll update again if I ever figure out what's wrong with EDL.
Use All in One tools. Working really good as far as I can see. Choose Oneples 8 pro device since not updted for Oneplus 9 / Pro. There is an option to reboot to EDL thru this tool.

Seems like a great tool... however, I just tried it and get the same behavior when I use the Reboot to EDL option. It shows up as a Qualcomm device in Device Manager for a couple of seconds and then reboots to system (now that I have a functional OS). It never shows up in MSM Tool.

Hi, I noticed when using the 64 version of Qualcomm driver, my phone would auto boot out of EDL as soon as it would enter it. I had to use a nother version I believe is 32 bit version. That fixed the problem for me. Also usually it's the boot that is messed up when something goes wrong and replacing that will usually fix and if not; replacing correct boot and then wiping data is what worked for me.

Well, you're definitely onto something, but there's still a missing piece. After installing 32-bit drivers I'm able to get the phone into EDL mode... screen is blank and "Qualcomm QDLoader 9008" shows up in device manager, and it actually stays there without the phone trying to boot on its own. However, the phone still doesn't show up in MSM. In device manager it has a yellow triangle and says the driver isn't signed, even though I installed it after doing the advanced reboot to allow unsigned drivers.
Where do you download the latest version of the 32-bit driver from? Maybe the one I found isn't the latest?

After installing 32-bit drivers I'm able to get the phone into EDL mode... screen is blank and "Qualcomm QDLoader 9008" shows up in device manager, and it actually stays there without the phone trying to boot on its own. However, the phone still doesn't show up in MSM. In device manager it has a yellow triangle and says the driver isn't signed, even though I installed it after doing the advanced reboot to allow unsigned drivers.
Where do you download the latest version of the 32-bit driver from? Maybe the one I found isn't the latest?

I can't remember where I got it from , I believe from 8t forum? I've had it on my Google drive for quite some time. If you would like me to share it I could. I don't remember if I added to the name originally. The name on the file is
Qualcomm_USB_Host_Drivers_1.00.53_20180705_w7_w10(8t_link).exe

I didn't find that version, but I did find a [presumably] newer version 2.1.0.3 32-bit driver that appears to work. The device now shows up in MSM Tool. Thanks for the help!

Can you share a link for that updated 32-bit driver?
If what Samuel Holland suggested is valid in my case as well, that would get rid of the auto-boot issue we struggled with.

The one that worked for me was the 32-bit setup.exe file from this guide. I uninstalled the existing driver I had installed, rebooted, installed this driver, and then EDL worked right away.

Question [SOLVED] Bricked OP9Pro, can't get to fastboot, sahara communication failed

Seems like I succesfully bricked my OP9Pro. Tried to restore in MSMDownloadTool v4.0. Oneplus 9 Pro LE2123.
Phone is detected correctly in Windows device manager(QDLoader 9008, I get to EDL by holding Vol+ and Vol- buttons and connecting the cable). When I try to flash, MSM breaks on Sahara communication failed(FH: 258).
Qualcomm drivers are from Windows Update Center(I connect my phone in EDL mode, click Update and in optional updates section there is the needed driver - Qualcomm Incorporated - Ports).
What should I do?
I saw a python EDL workaround script, but I'm not sure if helps me or if it even works (saw it somewhere on xda, the only thing I remember that it was in some of oneplus's devices thread and the sript name was edl.py, sorry
Tried on one laptop(Acer Nitro< none of the ports gave a succesful result). Gonna try on my second(Asus ROG GL702VMK, it seems to have better ports connection). Gonna write an update message.
I can't get to fastboot, recovery, etc. Phone seems to give no signs of life, there is even no charging notification when the cable is connected(but maybe phone isn't turned off actually, not sure)
You need to click the box to "use lite firehose" beforehand running your msm. And change target to OS or EU depending on which one ur using

Thanks for advice, I got further but now it stopped on Param Preload with "Device not match image"
I use MSMDownloadtool for EU and my phone is EU version(LE2123)
So, I am kinda happy cuz I booted to system.
I used this guide(https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/global-us-unbricking-guide.4370463/). Used MSM Download tool with Indian f/w.
Then I tried to return to EU version, but I got the same param preload error. I used this version of MSM and it flashed successfully.
So now I guess the issue is solved. Thanks @Shooter7889 for ur advice with lite firehose
Uncheck "check sha256" for mismatch device issue. Or find correct msm. You're welcome. I had same issue after bricking my 9pro and not being able to run msm successfully.

Question Bricked flashing Lineage and MSM will not work

Long story short, I was having tons of bugs in A12 from camera rebooting phone to not receiving phone calls so I decided to flash LOS 18.1 and ended up bricking my device presumably because I didn't downgrade to OOS11 beforehand. Currently, I can only enter fastboot and LOS recovery. MSM tool will not read my device at all. I can see it in device manager as some extremely generic QUS...... device and when I try to update the drivers, it crashes. I have tried USB-C, USB 3.2, USB-3, and what is presumably a USB 2.0 port to no avail. Is there anyway to flash OOS 11 from fastboot?
Use these drivers for the Qualcomm device, reboot the phone with both volume buttons and power.
Then try the MSM tool (remember to choose the regional version on the top), don't connect via a USB hub, connect directly to your computer (I usually find USB 2 is better than USB 3
If you get an error in the MSM Tools when you try to flash then reboot the phone back into EDL mode while the MSM tool is still open and attempting to flash, it'll usually pick up properly after the reboot.
If you still have problems then try disabling driver signature verification : https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/ho...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/

SWEET BABY JESUS THANK YOU FOR THIS
I was trying to do this with the 64-bit drivers and was consistently seeing "Param preload failed" after 9 seconds exactly.

I had the LE2127 unlocked and rooted (after learning about the MSM tool, the model differences, modem headaches, etc.)
My ultimate goal was to flash Lineage on it and use a custom kernel for battery life. But apparently I'd have to re-flash T-Mobile's firmware version NON-HLOS.BIN after every OTA, and frankly that's a pain in the ass.
I was trying to use the T-Mo MSM tool to get it back to stock locked, but that was stopping me. Finally got it done. T-Mo wouldn't take the phone back. Got a Pixel 6. The 9 Pro is on "free" promo anyway, so I might start messing with it more, or sell it / donate it to a developer.
Send it back to oneplus they have tools even better than msm.

Your instructions worked for Windows 11. I had to reboot with driver signature verification disabled in order for MSM tool to recognize the phone as connected.
Thank you.
