For anyone with a D802 who's having trouble flashing the TOT file using LG's FlashTool and getting an error like the screenshot attached below, download this DLL and use it. The DLL I've attached below is used for the Korean F320. The other DLLs provided in other tutorials don't work hence getting errors while trying to flash the TOT file. I had my G2 bricked with no recovery, ADB sideload or fastboot and had my screen flashing with a security boot error. Also tried LG's firmware recovery but suddenly stopped at 48%
I lost all hope when every solution failed. I only had Download Mode available. I decided to try out the DLL for the F320 in FlashTool and my G2 finally came back to life!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. In Windows 7, go to start, right click Computer and choose 'Manager'------Windows 8? right click the Windows logo at the bottom left corner and choose 'Device Manager'
2. Assuming your phone is in download mode and connected to the pc by USB, open 'Ports (COM & LPT)' and you should see
'LGE AndroidNet USB serial port(COMX)'
3. Right click on 'LGE AndroidNet USB serial port(COMX)' and go to 'properties'
4. Click on the 'Port Settings' tab and click 'advanced'. Another window will pop up, here, choose 'COM Port Number' from COMX to 'COM41' and click OK and OK again.
It should now look like this

It's reading your G2 as a D802 because you're trying to flash it with a D802 .TOT file.

Open D802 tot in hexeditor. Do search for '802'...first instance you find should be the full model number followed by the software version. Change only the first instance of model from 802 to 855 since that's what flash tools thinks your phone is right now due to the ported rom you flashed. It should then bypass the model check and flash.
i did that method.now i cant go into download mode i dont have custom recovery either,im stuck at logo with led light,my screen only showing white lines(some other colors) my pc is detecting phone while it is stuck on logo..i have d802,what can is do now
i dont have fastboot nor adb working..
Better solution
First I should note that I'm using the LG G2 D802 32GB model, I have the 4.4.2 KitKat stock ROM, I have root, but I haven't installed a custom recovery.
I accidentally changed the permissions on the build.prop file in the system folder, and after reboot, my phone was stuck in a boot loop.
I searched a lot online for a good fix that wouldn't involve losing the information and apps that I have installed on it. And I managed to do it .
I believe this is a better solution than what the OP suggests, and is more user-friendly.
So, in case your LG G2 is stuck in a boot loop with LED flashing green-cyan:
=========================================================
1. Enter Download mode:
A. Turn off your LG G2 completely, if possible. If not, try to time yourself by pressing & holding the power button on the back and then immediately after it turns off and back on again:
B. Hold Volume Up + Insert a microUSB cable in to your phone (the other end should already be attached to your PC).
You should see a blue rectangle, and then the phone will display that it's waiting for a FW update with 0% on the bar.
2. Download & Install the official "LG Mobile Support Tool". The actual filename is B2CAppSetup.exe (256KB).
Run it (there should be a shortcut on the desktop) but give it time, as this app is very slow to load even on a fast machine.
3. Click Options -> Upgrade Recovery. Wait after pressing the button, app is very slow!!!
4. Sit back and relax until it's done (around 10-15 minutes).
In this step, it downloads the latest official KDZ file directly from LG (around 2GB), and re-installs it on your phone.
5. Phone should boot normally with all your settings intact.
6. Note: Closing the "LG Mobile Support Tool" also takes a bit of time, and might even give an error that "the application has stopped working".
This is normal and you can safely ignore it. Simply close the error window and be done with it.
7. You will need to root your phone again using ioRoot (latest version dated 2014-06-17).

Hi! Thank you for such a detailed walkthrough. However, my AT&T LG G2 D800 doesn't go past the LG Logo, though, I'm able to enter Recovery Mode and Download Mode. I just want to ask, is there any way to know my mobile's accurate Serial Number and Model Number without entering into Settings Mode since I cannot turn on my device? Upgrade Recovery option needs it. Thank you!

Not sure what you mean by "Upgrade Recovery option needs it", but if you have the original retail box, there's a sticker on it with the IMEI and exact model number. There might be an option to get this info from the phone itself in one of the recovery/download/whatever modes, but I haven't tried.
@ericgl: Thank you for the response! LG Support Tool requires you to enter either Model Number and Serial Number of your device or the IMEI Number. And since I bought a used phone (without box), I couldn't find the IMEI Number anywhere. Anyways, I opened up the phone's back cover and it was there. I ended up fixing my device using OP's tutorial since LG Support Tool keeps on crashing on Windows 7 32-bit. Still, huge thanks for the method!
any help will be much appreciated
my problem is i cannot go into recovery mode, i guess i flashed a wrong custom recovery before and the phone just boots and says verizon but never goes pass this point. i am not using a verizon version though, i am using lg g2 802, my other problem is i do not know which firmwares to use because they are from different countries and all that, some be it 802a 802b and all that, so how can i tell which one is for my phone? i have the imei number and i bought the phone second hand still broken and trying to fix it myself. is there any universal firmware for lg g2 802? working on all phones?
---------- Post added at 07:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 AM ----------
and i cannot download the dll file on the OP's post, when i click download nothing happens, please my facebook name is Lawrence Handly, anyone who knows much about this and willing to help can inbox me anytime, please

With that out of the way enjoy
1) Download this
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655047389
2) unzip: V510_4.4.4+tools.zip
3) Install the LG drivers
4) Install LGFlashTools v1.8 (but don't run it)
5) Copy MegaLock.dll to C:\LG\LGFlashTool, This is a hidden folder so enable "hidden folders". Replace the old MegaLock.dll file if you have already installed LG Flash Tool on your computer
6) Launch LG Flash Tool
You might see a window with Korean language, just click on OK
Check the Select Manual Mode on the top
7) MAKE SURE UNDER, DEVICE MANAGER, YOUR PORT IS SET TO COM 41 FOR YOUR DEVICE.

The firmware installation will be triggered
Ignore if you see any temporary error and just wait patiently till it is finished.
I took these instructions from another post. That post ended by giving "Credit [email protected] for making a cleaner guide for the TOT Method"

+1 worked perfectly for me.
The only part that I had a little trouble with was changing the COM port to 41.
Windows users: you must be booted into Download Mode for the tablet to show up in Device Manager, where you change the COM port. I was trying to change the port while the tablet was booted up (normally) and it was driving me crazy.
Need some help:
tl;dr: Pretty sure I still need to flash the stock recovery, but having problems.
Coming from a rooted LG GPad GPE with TWRP installed. I followed the instructions on this thread and everything seems to have worked. I'm now unrooted, but I'm still getting "your system is up to date" when I check for an update in settings.
I think I do not have the right recovery installed, and that is why I am not getting the update. When I try to boot into recovery mode, I get the android guy on his back with a red triangle. No signs of TWRP being installed anymore.
I've tried several times to flash the stock recovery as listed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2574639. It seems to work, but I don't think it is working properly. I also can't sideload the 5.0 file through ADB, since I need to put the device into recovery mode to do it.
---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------
Nevermind. Turns out that is the stock recovery. Now my problem is I can't push the file over ADB. The ADB connection doesn't persist into recovery mode. I've followed the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575783.
When the device is on normally, the ADB connection is fine. It shows up in the list of connected devices. When I reboot into recovery and choose "apply update from ADB" and then enter "adb devices" I get no devices connected.
In device manager, I see "LG-V510" under "other devices" but when I try to manually update the drivers to the google drivers as indicated in the post above, the computer says "Windows could not find driver software for your device."
Still need help...

I guess I'm not quite sure what you were trying to accomplish. If it is to install TWRP. You need to use fastboot from download mode and flash your recovery there, rather than trying to use adb from the recovery itself. "Fastboot flash recovery palman.img". , where palman.img is the name of whatever recovery you want to flash.
Fairly certain I did everything correctly according to the directions. When I press the yellow arrow about how long does it take to complete the install? When i started it, little box came up said some things that I don't remember and after about 30 seconds, the little box went away and the COM41 box says Ready!! Does that mean its finished? Just dont want to unplug tablet before the process is finished and brick it. Thanks
Nevermind, figured it out. Had to unplug device and plug usb back in and that triggered it to start.

No, I was trying to sideload the 5.0 upgrade. Couldn't get my adb connection to persist through to recovery mode. Finally figured it out and was able to get the tablet upgraded this morning - but I had to use the TWRP backup method. Everything seems to be good to go now though!
Correct drivers
I'm having problems getting the port changed to 41 and I think it because the drivers aren't installing correctly. Could someone confirm from the screenshot below that I'm on the right track, or maybe post a shot of what the correct driver set-up should look like? Thanks.
**Edit: Got it, I did have the wrong drivers.
I don't think you have the right drivers installed. There should be two of them and mine were both banged-out yellow, but only when in download mode and with the software running. You don't even have a ports tab to change it (or you have the wrong device).
I gave up and restored the Lollipop backup someone posted, which worked great except then I had to re-root and flash TWRP again.

If drivers are installed correctly, you should find it under Ports(COM & LPT) expand that and LG should be there. Right click and properties and find the COM41

I had given up for the 4.4.4 update when it initially came out and upgraded through TWRP, but now I'm running into issues with not being able to use the external SD card from the TWRP backup of LP that was posted, so I figured I needed to give this method a shot and do it right.
Any chance we will get the 5.0 TOT file for the v510? I tried following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2220801 and also tried using wireshark to capture the path in the LG Support tool but haven't had any luck with either method.
Thanks man. This helped me restore my G Pad when I thought all hope was lost.
Thank you very much, this worked perfect!
Hello everyone, first let me give major props to my man @bender_007 for creating the amazing LG G Series Autorec Apps which make installing TWRP on LG G Devices a simple process and for also helping me and others who ignorantly misused his app, thanks B!
Anyway recently I bought a LG G3 on Verizon that was on 35b 5.1.1 Lollipop and I rooted. Boy was I eager to get some TWRP poppin on this beast, however flashing TWRP thru Flashify and TWRP Manager left me unsuccessful giving me Secure Booting Error. So desperate I seen Autorec on the Play Store, installed immediately. From there I went through the app's proccesses and from there attempted to boot into recovery hoping for some success.... I did not realize this was went for 24b 5.0.1 until it was late, I mean hey he says it in the description. The phone was dead it wouldn't show anything on the display when I held the power button and it only vibrated, I was f***ed.... At least that is what I thought. I used the method below that me and @bender_007 were collaborating upon as he tried to help me. So please give him credit. I cannot guarantee this will work for you but it worked for me and you don't have to worry about opening up your phone and shorting pins, that nonsense if this works for you.

THE LATEST KDZ FOR YOUR PHONE MODEL (GOOGLE IT)
Your Dead but Still Amazing LG G3 and a USB Cable
Note: IF DONE PROPERLY YOU WILL STILL HAVE ALL YOUR EXSISTING DATA PRE-BRICK
PROCEDURE
1. Gather all materials, and know the locations of all your downloaded files.
2. Install the drivers for your phone.
3. Unzip LGFlashTool_2014.zip
4. Move the .KDZ you should've downloaded to the LGFLASHTOOL_2014 folder.
5. Open Device Manager (press start, type in Device Manager into search bar, hit enter)
6. Click View, "Show Hidden Devices"
7. PLUG in USB CABLE TO COMPUTER ONLY!
8. THIS STEP IS VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT! TAKE THE BATTERY OUT OF YOUR LG G3. PUT IT BACK IN. CLOSE THE BACK. HOLD VOLUME UP ONLY, WHILE HOLDING POWER UP DO NOT LET GO PLUG IN OTHER HALF OF USB CABLE INTO PHONE. KEEP HOLDING VOLUME UP FOR 20 SECONDS. YOURE PHONES SCREEN WILL STILL BE BLACK AND IT SHOULDVE VIBRATED ABOUT 2 SECONDS AFTER YOU PLUGGED IN WIRE (You'll know when you do it right when COMPUTER says installing drivers in bottom right corner.)
9. In Device Manager under Modems there should be something like LGandroidNET I DONT REMEMBER EXACTLY THIS IS ALL OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. Anyway, if it says that then you are good, believe it or not your in download mode. (IF YOU DO NOT SEE THIS REPEAT STEP 8)
10. Go to LGFlashTool_2014 folder and run the LGFlashTool2014.exe application.
11. Change PhoneMode to Emergency
12. For "SELECT KDZ FILE" open the folder of the the FlashTool, it should be on it by default and pick the KDZ file.
13. Click "Normal Flash"
14. On the next SCREEN click "START" at the bottom
15. Now there should be a pop-up that says "Select Country & Language" Do not mess with this, just click "OK"
16. There should be a SCREEN now that has a % or whatever... From HERE TO THE END OF IT DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR PHONE!!!
17. When you hit like 85% your phone will boot up do not UNPLUG still and once it hits 100% your done! Safe to UNPLUG and YOU FIXED YOUR PHONE!!!!!!
If you have any questions please ask I have pure empathy for anyone who goes through this hell.
The first time I attempted to connect the phone I successfully had the phone under the modem tab. After being unable to find a .KDZ file (after a minute of searching) I stupidly tried another approach. Now after that not cooperating, I came back to attempt this again after finding a .KDZ file and am unable to set up the device properly to show under the modem tab. I'm following your instructions exactly and gave no luck. Any idea why this would be happening?

Now after that not cooperating, I came back to attempt this again after finding a .KDZ file and am unable to set up the device properly to show under the modem tab. I'm following your instructions exactly and gave no luck. Any idea why this would be happening?

Okay I'm here to provide my best assistance and for that you'll have to answer a few questions?
1. What is your device model? ex. VS985 Verizon
2. What KDZ did you attempt to flash? ex. VS98547a_01.kdz
Looking forward to your reply.

@wombatthing I would go to device manager go to view "Show Hidden devices" then disconnect your phone take out battery put it back in close back then hold volume up for 20 SECONDS while doing that connect to computer. It probably won't say installing drivers because you said it worked the First time, from there see if it's under Modems. Good luck my friend in here for any questions

Will this method keep all my files that were stored in the internal memory? I'm not worried about the device, i just want my files! Camera pictures etc.
Edit. I tried it but in DIAG mode because i'm afraid emergency can delete my files? I can see the "LGandroidNET " but no vibration and seems like the driivers never install properly. My phone is completely dead.

My friend all is good. First of all as long as it says LGandroidnet you are good you should be in download mode, in lg flash took for mode click emergency and not diag then click normal flash THIS WILL KEEP YOURE DATA IF YOU SEE CRS FLASH OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THEN ITLL RESET YOURE PHONE just do Emergency and Normal Flash and it should work. Hope I help if you have questions please ask.
@Ray1000 "Emergency" Mode is just Download Mode flashing. Diag is not that's why you were unsuccessful.
Thanks for this! I'm getting stuck at the end (step 16) when the flash tool says:
"Problem with communication between cell phone and PC.
Please disconnect the cable from your cell phone in order and remove and connect the battery. Power on your cell phone and press the Restart button to resume update. If LG Support Tool is stopped abnormally, try with [Options]-[Upgrade Recovery] in tool menu."
I've tried just clicking the retry button, and also unplugging the phone and putting it in recovery mode again before clicking retry. Neither has worked so far. Any thoughts?
Phone is D855, kdz version is D855V20b_00
For all people with Windows 10 an problems with drivers (device is detected by Windows but app is not connecting). Decompress de correct cab for your Windows version, and update the driver "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008" with the path you used to extract. Now this driver isn't advertising that isn't signed anymore, and all apps will connect with your LG G3
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 2.1.0.5 x86
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 2.1.0.5 x64

Sorry for the late response. First of all you are welcome. I don't know if you fixed the problem yet but I'll help anyway. First remove youre battery for at least 10 seconds then put battery in, hold up and connect charger for 20 seconds. Of you are unsuccessful try reinstalling drivers. Best of luck my friend.

Hi, I have tried your method but get stuck on "Problem with communication..." Is this a problem specific to windows 10?
I have attempted to update the Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 but cannot see it in device manager.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Thank you for this post. But unfortunately I can not get back my device. What happened was I bricked my phone while flashing TWRP. It's a G3 D855 and does not power on at all. Screen is blank, no LED or vibrate. I tried volume up/down combinations with power button but nothing happens. However when I connect it to PC, device manager shows it under Modem and COM ports.

I tried to flash a stock ROM using your method. But I got following error during process.
The only problem was phone did not vibrate when I connect it as you mentioned.
Do you think my phone is gone forever? Is there any other way? Appreciate a reply.
Thanks!
i also cannot find the Qualcomm's driver on windows 10 & phone looses communication with flash tool..

He guys thank you very much. My LG3 was already down for months after many failed attempts and I was about to bin it. Decided to give it one last try, found your instructions and it works, I now have Marshmallow!! (However I downloaded the KDZ file from "downloadmirror.de" and I am not sure if that was a good idea.
DisclaimerWhile I will assist with any issues resulting from this guide, I disclaim all responsibility and cannot be held accountable for any consequences caused by the use or misuse of this tool or process. This method also will wipe your phone, so please back up your data. I also will disclaim any understanding as to why exactly this works, since this method was developed by someone else, I am just listing the instructions on how to use it. With that being said, understand your personal limits and read this entire guide before starting.
PrefaceI have seen dozens of posts asking for a Bootloader unlocking method for the OnePlus 8 5G UW (IN2019) and thanks to the attributed users at the end of this post, a method has been found. I will document the most straightforward way to unlock the bootloader here so you can install custom OSes, TWRP, and Magisk.
Part I: Prerequisites and initial setupTo follow this guide you will need
A Windows PC (running 7+)
Latest MsmDownloadTool and stock firmware for the OnePlus IN2019 - Link
OnePlus 8 IN2019 with latest stock software update and USB cable
Latest version of platform-tools - Link
The bootloader unlock.ops file - Link
Plug your phone into your PC using a USB 2.0 port (this is important, USB 3.0 has given me a lot of issues and just doesn’t seem to work all the time) and ensure USB debugging is enabled.
Extract the downloaded platform-tools zip and open the platform-tools folder in a command prompt, and Run adb devices and makes sure your device appears in the list.
Next, extract the OnePlus_8_Verizon_OxygenOS_11.0.zip and open up the MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe inside the instantnoodlev_15_O.01_210110 folder.
When the application opens, select “Others” under the User type dropdown and hit next. Leave this window and the platform-tools command prompt open.
Spoiler: Command Prompt

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Spoiler: MsmDownloadTool setup
Part II: Entering Qualcomm EDL mode and installing correct QDLoader DriverIn this section we will install the correct drivers to utilize Qualcomm's Emergency Download (EDL) mode. When you are in EDL mode, your phone screen will be completely black and it will only exit if you complete a flash or unplug it from your PC and hold volume up, volume down and power. To enter EDL mode from a powered off state, hold volume up and volume down and connect your phone to your PC.1. Return to the platform-tools command prompt, and type adb reboot edl and wait. Your phone should disconnect from the computer and then reconnect.
2. Open Device manager, and check for the device “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008” or “QUSB_BULK_CID:xxxx_SN:xxxxxxxx” - if you see “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008” under Ports (COM and LPT), skip to part III. If you see “QUSB_BULK_CID:xxxx_SN:xxxxxxxx” under Other Devices with a yellow triangle, then proceed to step 3.
Spoiler: QUSB_BULK_CID:xxxx_SN:xxxxxxxx (Proceed to Step 3)
Spoiler: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (Skip to Part III)
3.
Spoiler: Windows 11
Open Settings, Go to Windows Update and Check for updates. After, Click Advanced options, Optional Updates and drop down “Driver Updates” Locate “Qualcomm Incorporated - Ports - 3/25/2016 12:00:00 AM - 2.1.2.2” in the list, and install it.
Spoiler: Windows 10
On Windows 10 - Open Settings, Go to Update & Security, Check for updates, Click “View Optional Updates” and select “Qualcomm Incorporated - Ports - 3/25/2016 12:00:00 AM - 2.1.2.2” and install it.
This should install the correct driver, replacing “QUSB_BULK_CID:xxxx_SN:xxxxxxxx” with "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in device manager.
Spoiler: Correctly Installed Driver
Part III: Flash Stock FirmwareIn this section, we will flash the stock IN2019 Android 11 firmware. If you have any trouble with this process refer to the original guide on how to do this here.1. Return to MsmDownloaderTool and hit the Enum button. In the list, it should list the COM Port associated with the device. The status of connection should read “Connected”
Spoiler: MsmDownloadTool Connected
2. Click the “Start” button. This will flash the stock firmware, wiping your data. Make sure you have backed your data up at this point. It will take a few minutes, usually ~300 seconds. Once it completes, it will reboot into factory default android.
3. Close MsmDownloadertool and once you are back to android, unplug your phone and power it off.
Part IV: Unlock the bootloaderIn this section, we will flash the unlockable firmware and unlock the device for good.1. Inside the directory with MsmDownloaderTool V4.0.exe, there should be a file called “instantnoodlev_15_O.01_210110.ops”. Remove it from the directory, either by deleting it or moving it to another folder. Then take the unlock.ops file downloaded earlier, and drag it into the directory. It should be in the same folder as MsmDownloaderTool.
Spoiler: Directory before unlock.ops
Spoiler: Directory after unlock.ops
2. Reopen MsmDownloaderTool V4.0.exe and like before, select “Others” in the drop down, and click next. Leave the window open.
3. Hold in the Volume up and down buttons, then plug your phone back in. Keep holding the buttons until your phone connects to your PC as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008", like before. Check device manager to ensure that it’s connected correctly as a COM port. If it boots to android, power it off and try again.
4. Return to MsmDownloaderTool and click Enum. Make sure the phone is still displayed in the list under the associated COM Port.
5. Click start. The flashing should take about 15 seconds, and when complete, your phone should restart. It will display a message at boot saying “<!> The device is corrupt..” Do not panic, this is normal.
6. Unplug your phone and hold Volume Up, Volume Down and Power until the device reboots and let go once it shows the OnePlus Logo and “Fastboot Mode”. You should arrive at a screen that has “Start” in big green letters at the top, and “Fastboot mode” below it, with the very last item saying “Device state - Locked” in red text.
7. Plug your phone back into your computer, and open device manager. Look for the “Kedacom USB Device” category with “Android Bootloader Interface” under it. If this device is present, skip to step 9. If this device is not, proceed to step 8.
8. Go back to Windows Update, Check for updates again, go into Optional Updates and install “Google, Inc. - Other hardware - Android Bootloader Interface”
Spoiler: Optional Driver
Check device manager to ensure “Android Bootloader Interface” is present under Kedacom USB Device.
Spoiler: Kedacom USB Device
9. Return to your command prompt window open in platform-tools, and run fastboot devices and ensure your device is in the list.
10. Finally, run the command fastboot flashing unlock and on your phone, it should prompt you to confirm unlocking the bootloader. Once complete, it should reboot into Android.
11. Shut the phone off again, and then Hold Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power and let go when the OnePlus logo and “Fastboot mode” shows up on screen. If the final item in the list says “Device State - Unlocked”, Congrats! You have successfully unlocked your bootloader. You can follow your custom OS’s installation guide from here.
Part V: Troubleshooting, Notes, and Attributions
Spoiler: If your MSM tool gets stuck on "Sahara communcation failed" when trying to flash.
Unplug your phone, and hold Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down. It should reboot into fastboot mode. Using the volume keys, navigate to the "Power off" option and hit the power button to confirm. Then holding Volume Up and Down, plug your phone back into your PC and try flashing again.
Any attempt to use MsmDownloadTool after the unlock will cause the device
to become locked again. You can unlock again by repeating the steps above.
Attempting the unlock process while running android 10 will result in a
crash at bootup. Update your phone to the latest update before starting.
USB 3.0 has thrown some obtuse errors when trying to use this process, so I highly recommend using a USB 2.0 port if possible.
If you want to flash back to stock firmware again (relock bootloader), you have to first flash this file (stock.ops) and then flash the bundled stock firmware. It will give a mismatch error if you do not.
You can only have one .ops file in the MsmDownloadTool directory at a time. You'll get an error if there are multiple files.
If for some reason, you run into an issue or skip a step by accident, leave a comment and I will try to help as much as possible. This is my first XDA guide and I just wanted to compile something that would have saved me hours of trial and error.

It does. If you already have Android 11, just save and store your phone data, factory reset, boot into EDL, connect and start the tool. If it runs an error, DONT stop the download. Press the POWER + VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN buttons at the same time and hold it until it reconnects. It takes a few seconds. Once it reconnects you should see it fully load. I didn't see the need for stock firmware file unless I needed to reflash my stock after ****ing up (I bricked it once or twice), and tbh it's not even the one I used to reset my phone. I just unlocked my BL a few hours ago. It works, I promise

Right click the link and open in new window, than refresh the blank page it opens. That will trigger the download.

It worked for me. It was straightforward, and it was really easy to figure out. I kept getting an error during the parameter update when I used the included firmware, so I just flashed the Unlock.ops file and carried on. I had a dumb moment bc I didnt actually read it fully at first, so I freaked out and thought that I'd bricked it lmao. But all in all, it was good man. Good instructions, and you gave examples that helped me out when I was confused. Good job! Well worth the wait
This replaces the VZW abl/xbl with ones from one of the unlockable variants? Impressive that it works this way...

From my understanding, it messes with the param essentially tricking the phone into thinking it's not from Verizon.

Fantastic! Actually I have a OnePlus 8 T-mobile. Did you modify the Msmdownloadtool to allow this process going? Can you help allow msmdownloadtool to flash global roms to the T-mobile/ Verizon variant so that we maybe can unlock the second sim function?

The MsmDownloadTool did not need to be modified at all, you just had to swap the included .ops file (Stock firmware) with the unlock.ops in the directory, and it'll flash it on. As for the second question, I'm not really sure how I could help. If really would like my help, I'd be happy to assist, just contact me on Discord (Mason.#6969) or Telegram (message me on xda and i'll give it to you).

No. It just unlocks the bootloader so installing a different ROM is possible. What you install is up to you.

METHOD 1:
Part 1: Requirements:
• To follow this guide you will need
A Windows PC
• Latest MsmDownloadTool for Oneplus IN2017 - Link
• Latest version of platform-tools - Link
• The bootloader unlock.ops file - Link
Plug your phone into your PC using a USB 2.0 port (this is important, USB 3.0 has given me a lot of issues and just doesn’t seem to work all the time) and ensure USB debugging is enabled.
Extract the downloaded platform-tools zip and open the platform-tools folder in a command prompt, and Run adb devices and makes sure your device appears in the list.
Next, extract the instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001.zip and open up the MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe inside the instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001 folder.
When the application opens, select “Others” under the User type dropdown and hit next. Leave this window and the platform-tools command prompt open.
Part II: Entering Qualcomm EDL mode and installing correct QDLoader Driver
Part III: Flash Stock Firmware
In this section, we will flash the stock IN2017 Android 10 firmware.
Click the “Start” button in Msmtool. This will flash the stock firmware, wiping your data. Make sure you have backed your data up at this point. It will take a few minutes, usually ~300 seconds. Once it completes, it will reboot into factory default android 10.
Close MsmDownloadertool and once you are back to android, unplug your phone and power it off.

1. Inside the directory with MsmDownloaderTool V4.0.exe, there should be a file called “instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001.ops”. Remove it from the directory, either by deleting it or moving it to another folder. Then take the unlock.ops file downloaded earlier, and drag it into the directory and rename it to instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001.ops . It should be in the same folder as MsmDownloaderTool.
2. Reopen MsmDownloaderTool V4.0.exe and like before, select “Others” in the drop down, and click next. Leave the window open.
3. Hold in the Volume up and down buttons, then plug your phone back in. Keep holding the buttons until your phone connects to your PC as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008", like before. Check device manager to ensure that it’s connected correctly as a COM port. If it boots to android, power it off and try again.
4. Return to MsmDownloaderTool. Make sure the phone is still displayed in the list under the associated COM Port.
5. Click start. The flashing should take about 15 seconds, and when complete, your phone should restart. It will display a message at boot saying “<!> The device is corrupt..” Do not panic, this is normal.

9. Shut the phone off again, and then Hold Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power and let go when the OnePlus logo and “Fastboot mode” shows up on screen. If the final item in the list says “Device State - Unlocked”, Congrats! You have successfully unlocked your bootloader. You can follow your custom OS’s installation guide from here.
If you want to flash back to stock firmware again (relock bootloader), you have to first flash this file (stock.ops) and then flash the bundled stock firmware. It will give a mismatch error if you do not.
So this is essentially the same as the IN2019 guide, just with the IN2017? Sounds neat.

yes. it works after I check allow oem unlocking before flashing the unlock.ops.
and dual sim works on oxygen 11, confirmed using my op 8 pro sim tray.
I see to prevent breaking the dual sim functionality, I have to use custom rom with magisk dual sim patch. But I see the custom roms are now based on oos 12. Can I flash oos 12 first and then to custom rom? will it break dual sim function?
