Help! Stuck in fastboot - OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers

I attempted to follow a couple different rooting methods, first I tried just twrp and magisk, when that didnt work and I couldnt get out of recovery and fastboot, I attempted to follow the instructions of AOSIP thinking that I had just gotten my image killed and needed a rom. I followed all of the AOSIP and it ran its batch file but now all I get is fastboot no matter what I do. I tried sending twrp to the recovery a and b and booting to twrp I tried forcing the image to boot. I get Faile dto load/authenitcate boot image. I tried just loading a stock image but nothing happens it either fails out or goes to the fastboot on a reboot.
I am running a Oneplus 7t. I had updated to the latest 10.0.12 HD65AA.
I need to get my phone up and running today if possible please any help would be greatly appreciated.
so as I was playing with different things I attempted to flash recovery with killswitch's image, this wouldnt send as a matter of fact every fastboot command I sent to the device was almost being ignored, so the powershell was sitting there just waiting to complete the commands but not doing anything. I went into the fastboot on the phone and hit start (for about the 50th time today) and it booted to the load screen with the spinning dots. It has now been there for several minutes (15 at the time of this update).

I had similar issues and used all in one tool to put everything back together. Maybe it can help you.

I have downloaded this tool and have a recovery, when I attempt to flash factory images it says to unplug all android devices, except the only adroid device is my phone that is plug into it and the tool reads the phone. but wont do anything else.

Ok lets see what I can do to update.
I attempted AOSIP it loaded just as was said it would, let it configure on the OS loading screen (center dot with 2 dots spinning around it) it never came off that screen, was on it overnight about 8 hours. Come to this morning I attempt to recover. I attempted reloading the AOSIP, wont do anything, it wont reboot into fastbootd it just reboots back to fastboot and says error failed to boot into userspace fastboot; one or more components might be unbootable.
From here I tried telling it to boot an img file, all files come back failed to load/authenticate boot image
So I tried running Tool All In One as suggested, I get to the device and click Flash Factory Images, and select the stock rom that I was directed to in the forums, which it points to the 7 and the 7P so I had to search on the link to Mauronofrio, and this is the file that I found OB1-GLOBAL-OnePlus7TOxygen_13.W.01_OTA_001_all_2003061944_9cb2036f4e514fe9-FASTBOOT.zip for the OnePlus OnePlus 7T, by Mauronofrio
I downloaded that and attempted to run it with the images with the all in one tool, and I get no where. I then attempted to download the EDL, I found the EDL files that I require with the MSM tool. So I run the tool, and follow the instructions. I get the phone turned off and then I hold the + and - volume buttons and plug into the phone. I tried this several times. I got 2 different results. Either I get the blank screen on phone, and it doesnt respond at all despite seemingly doing the EDL right, or I get from the phone where it auto reboots to the fastboot ignoring my volume keys. I had the MSM tool open, I pushed hte buttons and plugged the phone in immediately I tried waiting for a buzz a number of things but EDL never responded. I am using the factory cable that came with the phone and made sure all drivers were completely up to date.

I followed some steps here
https://www.gizmochina.com/2019/11/19/unbrick-oneplus-7t-pro/
and finally was able to get my pc to recognize the phone sans the QDLoader drivers. Once the CPU Management read this I was finally able to push the drivers for it and use MSM tool to send hotdog_14_O.13_200519 to the device. It just completed the download to the device and had me load the intial loader I have seen about a dozen different times trying to complete this operation and now have the spinning load screen again with fresh hope that maybe just maybe I have completed my journey back to stock. Maybe'
It finally loaded with an OS!!!! WOOOT!!!! maybe I will try this again now that I know how to fix the thing hahahaha. It has been years since I rooted and rommed a phone. I dont remember it being so crazy.

[SOLVED] Soft-bricked my device

Hello!
I attempted to modify some system files (overwriting mine with LG v10 ones supplied in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/themes-apps/help-bringing-lg-v10s-camera-to-g4-t3223371) and my device ended up not going past the first boot screen (where the "Bootloader unlocked!" message appears).
Some facts:
- I have the H815 variant
- I have tried the drivers that come with LG Bridge and some others found on this forum.
- I have (officially) unlocked my bootloader, voiding my warranty
- The device gets stuck on the first boot screen (the one with text "Bootloader unlocked!"), led starts pulsing blue a second later.
- Logcat from boot is located at: pasteb in.com/64RZ3SgJ
- I have TWRP, but the press combination ( vol-down + power-button key, release for 1 sec, press them again) to boot into it doesn't work.
- I had Android 6.0 installed using the zip flashing method from recovery - with root.
- It does get past the first boot screen when I connect the micro-usb cable and it figures it has enough juice to turn on itself, but doesn't get past the boot animation then.
- I can access Download mode
- I tried flashing H81520A_00.kdz with LG Flash Tool 2014 (both normal and CSE mode), but it says: "Required info cannot be found. Contact the system administrator". Device doesn't react.
- I tried flashing older Europe Open H81510D.kdz with LG Flash Tool 2014, but it says: "Upgrade stopped due to an error." and wants me to try again (which didn't help). This message comes after a few seconds of attempting an upgrade to which my phone actually reacts - some text changes in download mode log box.
- (I did use LG Flash Tool 2014 in CDMA - DIAG mode)
- I tried using LG Update Recovery tool in LG Bridge. A similar error appeared making me retry the process, which doesn't work as well.
- Running any fastboot command yields in message: "< waiting for device >"
Please provide me with assistance as I've found other people with similar errors as well (even though their devices aren't bricked yet)
Edit 1: I discovered I had a short time window of ADB access after booting. I used the command "adb reboot recovery" and got into recovery mode. Will try to reflash system files.
Edit 2: Problem solved. Android booted up normally after reflashing the files. Gosh this was nerve-racking. Somebody should make a tutorial out of this.
Edit 3:
I was asked to write a more clear procedure, so here's my attempt. It is better than nothing. Again I suggest someone try to write a better explanation and verify that it works on other devices as well.
1. Have adb installed on your computer
2. Have the necessary drivers installed on your computer. I think I used these: http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425
3. Have your phone turned completely off.
4. Test if adb works from the console, using the following command: "adb version"; if it doesn't google for how to add adb to system environment path.
5. Connect the computer and the device using a micro-usb cable. The device should detect that it is being charged and turn itself on, thinking that it has enough battery to do so. If it doesn't, do so yourself.
6. While the device is booting, you have (at least I had) a short time period while your device listens for commands. In console type the following command: "adb reboot recovery" (try this from immediately after the device starts booting until it works, if it doesn't try again). This should reboot your into recovery mode.
7. If you do not have system flashables on your device, google how to sideload zip files. Get them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/stock-h815-20a-stock-images-kdz-t3232282. Flash them (I flashed all, just in case, but system might be enough).
8. After flashing, you (if coming from any other rom) should clear data and cache as well.
9. Reboot the device and it should be working.
with flashtool impossible to rollback . and impossible to flash kdz 6.0... a lot of people with this issue
Somehow I managed to make adb recognize the device and provide me with logcat access. I posted the contents on pastebin: pasteb in.com/64RZ3SgJ
Edit: Problem solved. Description in 1st post.

There you go. Can't do any better as I am not an expert in how Android precisely works at this level.
have followed what you ahd done i.e try adb reboot recovery and can net get adb to find device
will try again later as not very well learned in android

Perhaps you should try running the command: "adb devices" to see whether it has connected until it has (just run it multiple times). Otherwise, are you experiencing same symptoms as me? Did you also overwrite the system with V10 files? I'm thinking that the time window was caused by the system attempting to read some media profiles while starting all the other processes behind.

:crying::crying: i forget to enable usb debugging, now my pc can not connect to phone under downloadmode. And i can not use adb to let it reboot bootloader.
I think my dev is bricked for good. I used twrp and was not careful and wiped system. Now I cannot get into fastboot anymore and recovery does not work. It never shows up on USB. If I enter recovery, select yes to delete, it does nothing, just reboots with LG logo..

I'm having the same problem. I wiped the device ready to install a new Rom and TWRP crashed. No adb or fastboot and it only loads onto the LG flash screen. There must be a way to do it as it's software problem, not hardware problem. How do they get the software onto the handset when first made, that's what I need I feel.

Stuck at "Fastboot Mode!!!" Screen - Fastboot works, ADB doesn't

I've searched this and other forums, and tried virtually everything that has been suggested or that I can think of.
I have a Zenfone 2 Laser ZE551ML rooted. Phone has worked like a dream. Installed TWRP 3.0, made and saved several backups in several different places, internally and externally.
Two days ago, flashed a TWRP recovery (I was looking to get back some data I had deleted inadvertently), seemed to go well until it booted, and could not get past the screen that says "Fastboot Mode!!!". Connected to a PC and was able to execute fastboot commands; supposedly can flash various recoveries, and seemingly does so, with everything looking right on the PC, and the phone actually rebooting. But always stops at the same screen.
ADB, on the other hand, shows no devices listed. Every command results in "Error: Missing Device."
I have done everything I can think of...uninstalled and reinstalled the ADB drivers, used different ADB drivers, removed the external SD card, removed the battery (which is the ONLY way the phone will shut off...pressing the on/off button for 10 seconds just results in it booting up to the same screen. Have tried the fastboot wipe command, again it seems to do so, but always comes back to the same screen. Fastboot flashing a recovery.img appears to successfully write a recovery, then goes to same screen upon reboot.
Any ideas? I've only had this phone a couple of weeks, and really like it. But flashing what was apparently a bad TWRP backup seems to have destroyed it.
Thanks so much for any suggestions!
i have the same problem.. please help!
i have the exact same problem you had.. please tell me how you restored it
As i have a similar problem i cannot help you on the technical side.
But isn't the laser 551 KL instead of ML. Maybe you flashed the wrong files trying to restore the phone

fastboot --cmdline "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot twrp.img
where TWRP.img is the directory of twrp
then you should get back to TWRP
flash TWRP image again in TWRP itself because the method on line 1 only temporary flashes TWRP and will auto discard TWRP after a reboot

Starting to pull my hair out over flashing the Razer Phone

I've been trying to install TWRP and Magisk to the Razer phone for upwards of 3 days now. I cannot get anything to flash through fastboot to the phone no matter what I try. At one point I even said screw it and tried flashing the stock boot image back over to re-lock my bootloader, but no luck, still won't flash.
I was originally following this tutorial here but during the flashing of the boot image it kept failing. Then I tried following the "foolproof" guide found here
I either ended up with the error of "no such file or directory" or "too many links" or "unable to identify current slot". Did a ton of Googling but ultimately came up with no solutions.
I have Android SDK and development studio installed. I have the google drivers installed. I have the Razer phone drivers installed and I have ADB and Fastboot installed.
I have all the files I need on the SD card, and when I'm flashing everything I have the files I need placed in the same folder as the ADB\Fastboot files.
I have my bootloader unlocked, developer mode on and USB debugging enabled. I am using a USB Type A to Type C cable as recommended (made by Anker if it matters). I've tried all 3 USB ports on my laptop. I've even disabled Antivirus.
I have flashed many Android devices in the past and none have given me such a headache as this one. I'm even more ticked off that I can't even get the factory boot image back over to re-lock the bootloader after now realizing that I can't install Netflix anymore because they wen't and blocked installations for Rooted android users (for whatever ridiculous reason).
I will say that for whatever reason that when I go to open command prompt by using the shift+right click I only get the option to use Windows Powershell, not Command Prompt. I also have to put a .\ in front of every command I send. I'm unsure why, but I found no work around for it.
I'd like to try to get the TWRP and Magisk installed. I'm sure I can force Netflix to install over to the phone using another method.
Open to any suggestions!

I feel for you as when things don't work, like someone says they do, it's frustrating. I personally wouldn't be doing everything through power shell but would instead press Windows Key+R to bring up the "Run" dialog box then type "cmd" for command prompt. Trying to restore "command prompt here" to Windows 10 seems stupidly hidden. I'm just not sure if using powershell is messing with your progress.
Second thought is that your Razer phone drivers may not be installed correctly. For me I spent days/hours with my main PC, I then tried another PC and got my phone flashed in minutes. What would happen is that I could send "adb" commands without issue but some of the "fastboot" commands were not working. So at the critical times when it's trying to flash the different portions of our phone, some of them were successful while the others were giving little errors here and there.
I spent a lot of time updating my adb and fastboot commands to newer ones because it seems every time you download someones resources you get a different version. Also the more phones you have owned the more times you have installed specific USB drivers for those phones and they are now hanging around messing things up. There are programs such as USBDeview that will allow you to uninstall those old drivers. For me I had HP drivers from an old tablet, OnePlus drivers, LG drivers, etc.

I've been messing with it today a bunch. I am back to following the "foolproof" guide and this time I have completely uninstalled all my old drivers for anything android or USB or ADB related and reinstalled everything.
All commands work, I am using command prompt now.
What I am getting hung up on now is even after pushing all three files to the SD card, I run the command "fastboot flash boot twrp-3.2.1-0-cheryl.img && fastboot reboot" and it bounces back with " Failed: Write to device failed (no such file or directory)"
I've double checked the file names numerous times. I have no idea what I am doing wrong now. I have tried the command "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-cheryl.img" as stated in the other tutorial and it bounces back with "failed to identify current slot".
So I'm making progress at least. I'm trying to follow the first set of instructions listed in the fool proof guide but still no luck. I also tried the "clean method" listed below on that guide and that one doesn't work either. Apparently the Fool Proof guide thinks I'm a fool!

I believe that when you run "fastboot flash boot twrp-3.2.1-0-cheryl.img" you are pushing the file called "twrp-3.2.1-0-cheryl.img" that is sitting on your PC's C: or whichever drive you are currently sitting in to the Razer Phone. So make sure the file is in the same directory as where you are running that command. This will then transfer it to the Razer and will reboot into TWRP.
But after you reboot into TWRP you will want to flash the version you have sitting within your SD card to the "recovery" partition. That way it is permanent.

I was finally able to get the phone to accept a flash! I ended up saying screw it and dug a old laptop out, fresh install of windows and installed all the proper drivers onto it.
It worked almost flawlessly. It was able to correctly send the twrp.img file and the phone was able to boot into twrp which is about as far as I got. As it was attempting to load twrp it would "crash" the screen would flash twice and try rebooting back to TWRP.
What ended up happening was it got stuck in a boot loop trying to boot into TWRP. (I haven't even installed TWRP.zip yet, just tried booting the .img file).
I couldn't get the phone to boot to the system anymore. I thought I had a nice $600 paperweight on my hands.
I finally got the phone to go back into the boot loader and flashed all the factory stuff back on and relocked the bootloader. So right now I'm 100% back to stock.
I'm not sure what went wrong in the boot up of the twrp.img file. I'd like to try again but I'm kinda getting sick of wiping the phone Everytime something goes wrong.

I'm wanting to get TWRP / Magisk on my Razer too, but see too many bootloop stories after attempting to flash TWRP.... making me nervous ha ha.
Sorry, not much help, but hope you get it sorted...

I had mine in boot loop, I was able to get it out pretty easily. If your able to get the phone into the bootloader (I did using a fastboot command while it was in a boot loop) you can just execute the script provided by Razer and it does the rest. Took about 10 minutes and I had factory everything back on the phone. Relocked the bootloader after and done, phone fixed.

In my case I actually had to flash the stock boot.img from the May 2018 stock OS. Then I was able to use Razers guide to flash stock again. I haven't locked my bootloader since I still want to give it a try again. But I want to find a reliable way of rooting and then unrooting in case I want to do so in the feature.
So far I haven't found said documentation.
Installed Magisk v17.1 via TWRP loaded in fastboot boot (not fastboot flash boot ie not permanently installed) and so far all seems well. No boot loops when restarting...
Peace

Pixel 2 No OS Installed, No Recovery, Limited Bootloader use

Recently I had some trouble with my pixel 2 as my magisk root had magically disappeared, because of this I decided to fix it and re-flash magisk using fastboot to flash the modified boot.img. Since then my Pixel 2 XL wont turn on, I attempted to also flash twrp as well but was met with only a frozen splash screen. Since then I've tried to re-flash the entire OS that was downloaded from the google database and yes for the right version (taimen). I've auto tried to restore it using the android flash tool available through google online as well with limited success.
So here's my current situation. Right now turning on the phone takes me straight to the bootloader screen, attempting to hold volume up or anything other button combinations does nothing but take me to the bootloader screen. Attempting to use the android flash tool now turns the phone off the instant the pc detects it, trying to flash manually with fastboot (the latest version yes) does not work and even a simply "fastboot devices" returns "???????????? fastboot" which then reboots the phone. I'm kinda at a loss of what to do here, i've had softbricks on other phones before but have always managed to fix it one way or another but this one has sadly beaten me
p.s. I've already tried 3 different cables

Recently I had some trouble with my pixel 2 as my magisk root had magically disappeared, because of this I decided to fix it and re-flash magisk using fastboot to flash the modified boot.img. Since then my Pixel 2 XL wont turn on, I attempted to also flash twrp as well but was met with only a frozen splash screen. Since then I've tried to re-flash the entire OS that was downloaded from the google database and yes for the right version (taimen).

https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/pixel-2-bricked-t3889296 on the last page there are possible solutions to try. Have you tried a different port?
Also, as you can use fastboot in the bootmenu, download the twrp.img (link) to your adb.exe directory and use the adb shell to type 'fastboot boot twrp.img'.
If that works you could go to the reboot option and change the A/B slot to the other version used.
Through twrp - tools, you can also select adb mode to allow your PC adb shell to use 'adb sideload ota.zip'.
Use the ota.zip version of your current version which you download here.

Question 9 Pro crashed to lockscreen on loop, forced reboot and will no longer boot

hey, i have a completely stock 9 pro, i was texting someone and sending them pictures from the night but while i was doing that the phone suddenly crashed to the lock screen over and over again. so i just hard rebooted it since it was completely unresponsive and just crashing on the lock screen and now it will not even boot up it just shows the oneplus log and a field to put in a password and after entering the password its looking to format the phone and probably factory reset the whole device i was hoping that there would be some way to use adb to get my photos back since i didnt get a chance to save or send them and it would be a real bummer if they were gone. not enough to pay 1000s of dollar but enough that i would spend time playing with adb to recover them. im very familiar with commandline and adb but i dont know of a way to get in without unlocking the bootloader first.... any help would be very much appreciated.
Can you manage to boot into fastboot and try some things there?
Setup platform tools (let me know if you do not have it setup) and then boot into fastboot. Connect your device to your computer and try out the following commands :
fastboot getvar current-slot
If this outputs something like :
current-slot: b
Then run the following command :
fastboot --set-active=a
otherwise, run the following command :
fastboot --set-active=b
After this is done, reboot your device by running :
fastboot reboot
Like the original poster above. my completely stock OP9P (with all official updates installed) is stuck in a bool loop in which it displays the 1+ logo for a fraction of a sec, then reboots. I believe this was the result of the phone being unlocked in my pocket and something happening. When I pulled the phone out of my pocket, there was a message about a corruption in the OS on the screen.
I am able to get it to boot to fastboot by holding the Vol +&- buttons during the boot cycle, but I don't know how to recover the OS.
Can anyone help guide me or point me at a thread with tools that I can try?
Thanks, in advance.
I never set bios or lockscreen passwords, or encrypt data drives. You are the one most likely to be locked out, sometimes through no fault of your own. People will steal these devices regardless if they're locked or not; physical security is the only type of security that works.

When you enter the Bootloader (fastboot as you call it), and by navigating with the volume buttons, choose the "reboot to recovery" and confirm with the power button. This will reboot you to the recovery, and from there you can again use the Volume buttons to navigate and choose to wipe your data/phone.
This will format your internal storage, so your data is lost, but it will most likely help you with the issue you have. Another solution would be to use the MSM tools and "unbrick" the phone from EDL. Just by getting into recovery and formating your phone should do the trick, if not, MSM will fix it since it is the unbrick tool.

Thank you for the response. Sorry for the bad nomenclature. It's been a long time since I have used anything except stock. (Go all the way back to the custom ROMs on my Note 4)
I've tried that. Booting to recovery puts it right back into the boot loop.
It seems like there's a way to sideload the stock OS, but I can't find a cohesive, step-by-step guide that'll walk a N00B like me through.

There is no way to sideload it with a locked bootloader. Your only way out now is the MSM tool.

You can't do a factory reset from there?
It's rare but a SEU can corrupt any part of the flash memory. It causes no physical damage but the altered memory cells will need reset.
I think the best way to recover is MSM tool for youre specific model phone.
My phone power off by it self after watching a video on a received link with whatsapp.
Nothing workt beside MSM. I factory reset, downgrade rom. flash-reflash rom's.
MSM wipe all in youre phone.

Thank you so much!!
Sorry for the slow reply, but I haven't had time to deal with the problem because of work. I'll be looking into this today.

Ho Lee Sheet! I finally got around to dedicating serious time to working on this.
I had to jack-around with it quite a bit to get Windows 11 to load the proper drivers so that the phone would be recognized, but: BOOM! BACK IN BUSINESS!
Thank you so much for the guidance.
