Hi all. Im quite new to this whole flashing stuff so would like to request some help on how to recover my OnePlus 8 pro. I was previously running Pixel Experience 11 on my Oneplus 8 pro when i decided i wish to return to OOS 11. I folloewd a forum online using a flash-all.bat file with my widows pc to return to stock OOS 11. When the process completed the phone only reboots into fastboot mode. i went into recovery and did a factory wipe and cache wipe but no hope. I then tried to follow the forum but using the MacOS method of individually flashing the images but no hope. as it mentions the following "Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions". Ive tried running fastboot flashing unlock_critical but it keeps saying device is unlocked. Could anyone please help me recover my device? I just want stock OOS back . Many reboots results in just going into fastboot mode. Thanks for the help.

Hello guys, my phone one plus 5 has stopped working when I wanted to change to a ROM called (Resurrection Remix) which does not give any problem according to the users of the forum. I have another version of (Resurrection Remix) in my ONE PLUS TWO and without any problem. The topic is the following I have done all the steps as they are indicated but at the time of restarting the phone when the installation is finished, a load loop has started and never ends. I've been searching the internet all day to unbricke the phone but it's impossible, I try to install different ROMs and I still get nothing.
Sorry for my bad English, my language is Spanish

I had this same problem, and can almost promise this will unbrick it. Unfortunately this will put your phone back to how you had it when you first unboxed it, but it will work again.
1. Download the official OOS 4.5.5 zip
2. Wipe cache/dalvik/system/data in TWRP and flash the stock zip.
3. Within TWRP, flash the stock OP recovery image. You do this the same way as a zip, but click images in the bottom right while browsing for the file. Choose recovery as the partition of course.
4. Go to TWRP power options and boot to Bootloader/fastboot
5. Hook up to your PC and run the command to lock your bootloader "fastboot oem lock" (this will wipe your device and encrypt it again. I believe at this point the stock recovery will come up, do another factory reset to be safe.
6. Start your phone, at this point it should load up like new and all you have to do is unlock bootloader again and flash TWRP through fastboot so you can root again.
I don't have an answer for why ResurrectionRemix bricked your phone, but it did for me too. I followed the decrypt instructions to the T, but the same thing happened and I spent an entire Saturday trying to get my phone running again. I would guess that ResurrectionRemix is not to blame, and any other Lineage based ROM would end in the same result.
Good luck.

WOW Many thanks, my friend, finally my phone has revived. Again thank you very much has served me very much.:good:
Hi there,
after a normal shutdown, my xiaomi redmi 4 prime is not booting anymore.
it is stuck on MI Logo. I can enter fastboot and download mode. Phone is NOT rooted and Bootloader seems to be locked, but fastboot flash recovery seems to work. But all my hope to get a twrp started failed until now. I REALLY need the files from that phone. If somebody can help me, i will pay you money if you SUCCESSFULLY help me recover the files.
Beside, adb mode does not more work, after trying to fastboot flash a twrp image. But in ADB Mode i was in sideload mode, where no commands like pull did work. Oh and i never turned od developer mode i think. I will not stop believing there must be some person on this planet who can rescue my data.
thanks for any help.
I believe adb and developer mode are irrelevant since they work from within the system. One option is to make twrp recovery boot and copy files from it, but since you tried and failed you could try something else, but as last resort since I don't remember if it saved my data.
Since your bootloader is locked you cannot flash boot partition, but you can flash every other which cold fix your system. You should find EXACT same rom you had and extract partitions you want to flash (you have tutorials online, I don't remember, think you just extract them). If you try to flash complete rom with locked partition, process will fail.
fastboot flash system
fastboot flash recovery
fastboot flash data?!or whatever (or not data if your files are there)
Hope I gave you another perspective..
I have two oneplus 6t devices. One which was recently rooted and running kali nethunter flawlessly. I tried to wipe and switch to paranoid android per an xda tutorial. This device after the reset was unable to be flashed with twrp to recovery. Nor will it boot to twrp via fastboot command "fastboot boot "twrp...". I have tried the msm tools and none of which will either recognize the device or the have errors such as 15 second timeouts after connecting and or the "image doesn't match phone!". the drivers have been installed, reinstalled, restarted whatever i could do. Nothing works. I successfully installed and was running PA on one of the devices. Then the mobile network began stopping and starting every second and would not stay steady. I tried a few restarts of the device..... nothing. I looked up everything I could on the issue and couldn't find a thing. After wiping this device and trying to flash twrp to this one as well, I am now in the same boat with both devices.
I now can flash boot_a with an OTA i found but still no twrp support. the phones will both boot and operate correctly with mobile and wifi. But i want them for paranoid android.
I am now on my macbook running parrot OS linux to try and flash from here. I am fairly new to all of this but I've successfully done multiple nexus 5x devices "rooted running nethunter" as well as a oneplus 3t and 7 pro with paranoid android. The 6t is my absolute favorite and I have two of them. I will not give up on them...hahaha.
If anyone has any guidance please help. I'm all for admitting mistakes as well as my lack of experience here. It would have been all me messing things up here somewhere but I feel I have followed intsructions well and used all the tools I can.
Hi there,
Thanks for posting. I found your post when searching online for the exact same issue. Here is what I did to fix the issue on my side:
* If you device display `crash dump mode` without any additional step, press `Vol-Up` + `Power` to shut down gracefully the device
* When the device is shut down, press both buttons `Vol-Up` and `Vol-Down`, the device you reboot in fastboot mode.
* Then reflash the whole device using a fastboot version of the latest ROMS: [link](https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516)
Hope this helps for you as well

If you like a good camera I would suggest Pixel Experience or PE+ or PiXeN rom. I'm not knocking AOSPA but camera quality just isn't the same when I've used it even with google camera... If I knew exactly what you did before you experienced this it would help tremendously. Detailed step by step type info.
If I was on stock OOS 10.3.6 on my OnePlus 6t and wanted to flash AOSPA here's what I do:
Boot twrp via fastboot. Nowadays fastboot won't allow me to rename twrp image to twrp.img like it used to. That command fails that way for me now so I just copy and paste the entire name of whatever recovery I'm using over to terminal. That works for me using Ubuntu 18.04.
Boot TWRP
Flash OOS 10.3.6 global from repo in guides section
Flash AOSPA rom
Flash TWRP recovery installer zip
Flash finalize zip
Format data
Reboot system.
That installation process changes slightly depending on whether or not whatever rom I'm installing includes gapps and or twrp but thats how I install roms on my OnePlus 6t. I have a T-Mobile 6t converted to international/global model. If I had a detailed list of exactly what you did I could probably tell what the deal may have been... Hope this helps.
Edit added:
If you are not able to get msm tool to work then that is the end of the road unless you were to do something like send it to get repaired...

This is how I've always been able to get out of crash dump on my OnePlus 6t.
I hope power+ volume +&- until it vibrates and says fastboot then hit power on start bootloader screen to reboot system. I've seen crash dumb 13-14 times so far. Only one time this didn't work for me and I went back to crash dump instead of booting system and I always enable developer options and usb debugging immediately after I boot a setup so the time it sent me back to crash dump I just flashed OOS and a rom again and formatted data and booted up.

I have an issue to be solved, need a help here. A friend of mine asked me to flash his redmi note 7 due to his phone keeps rebooting. So i took this initial steps;
1. Installing the latest TWRP (replacing the Orangefox recovery since it is encrypted and i couldn't decrypt it to install another rom) then i flash MIUI 12 Global but later i knew it didn't solve the problem; the phone kept rebooting after some use.
2. Then I flashed MIUI 12 fastboot rom. Using official miflashtool, i clean the data and relocked the phone. Flashing process was a successful, but later i found out it stucked in recovery with "This MIUI can't be installed in this device" words. Realizing that i've downloaded wrong version of MIUI, i returned to miflashtool and tried flashing another MIUI fastboot rom but from this poin miflashtool requires the phone to be bootloader unlocked, which i can't execute since unlocking requires approval in once i can boot to the rom.
3. So, how to get bootloader unlocked while i can't boot to the rom to get acces in setting?
Hopefully, this gives you the point.
I understand your problem.
What you can do is-
Download latest MiUnlock Tool from xiaomi website and then update your PC drivers again.
Connect your phone to PC via fastboot mode.
You'll be asked to enter your mi account details, once you enter them , the option to unlocked bootloader will appear and you can unlock it again.
Afterwards you can flash TWRP/OFOX ,and then flash miui/your desired ROM again.
I hope this helps.

Hi everyone!
I just softbrick my OP8pro after an unsuccessful downgrade (using oneplus updater) from the last offical OTA to the previous stable version. This means from 12.1 to 12, in terms of android versions. Now I just manage to go to fastboot, when I try to go on the recovery one it goes to the fastboot as well (tried both key combinations w/ power button). Unfortunately I have same recent data on the phone which I didn't backup and really need to recover.
My goal is to get a way to backup data and userdata or at least an adb shell to download the most critical files, after that I will unbrick it w/ MSN tool.
When I try "fastboot flash recovery/recovery_a/recovery_b" or "fastboot boot" with a recovery image, it doesn't change nothing (with the first) or (on the second) reboots and stucks on the fastboot logo even before showing the fastboot menu itself. Tried w/ latest twrp or recovery.img extracted from official OTAs (different versions from a11 to a12.1)
The boot-loader is unlocked.
I'm running out of ideas, can anyone help me out?
Many thanks in advance.

[GUIDE] How to Avoid Killing Your OnePlus 8 Pro / 8T / 9R with OxygenOS 12 / ColorOS 12
As You can see, recently we started seeing more and more threads complaining about OxygenOS 12 killing people's devices. I lost my 8 Pro the same way few months ago and we finally know what caused this! ANSWER - THE BOOTLOADER! Massive Update...
forum.xda-developers.com
Dont mess with twrp on a12 - it does not work with a12 anyway
Be really careful what you flash from fastboot. Read the topic i posted above first and really take care.
The only thing i can imagine what will work is that you have to flash ALL images from 12 or 12.1 i would guess you need to flash the version you are trying to downgrade from but again read the link.
I dont think you will be able to recover your data tbh.
