T-Mobile to International MsmDownloadTool Issues - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Not sure what I'm doing wrong (or if it's just my PC) with trying to convert my T-Mobile 6T to the international version.
Device gets detected in the MSM Tool but becomes stuck in the 'Parm Preprocessing' status (when starting the 'upgrade'). Been struggle with trying to resolve this for the passed couple of days. Not able to find much info on it.
[Edit]
Looks like the issue was related to my drivers. grabbed the drivers from here.

[Q] LG Flashtool Model Information Check FAIL

Trying to use LG Flash tool to get back to stock. Whenever I run it and get things going...it just says "Model Information check FAIL" and stops there. I looked in other threads...and couldn't find any answers (although many people seem to have encountered this same problem). Phone boots out of download mode fine still so it's not bricked my any means. This is on a D800. Using Supersport as my guide:

Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: problem resolved. In case anyone else runs into this issue, I just used a different USB port and it ended up running and now I am back on stock. Not sure how that works, but it did

LG Stylo 2 Plus Boot loop

I have an LG Stylo V2 plus and I unlocked the bootloader a few years ago to play around with it as it was a spare phone. I pulled it out a few days ago and found a warning about it being corrupt and could not be trusted. I am now stuck in a boot loop where it will load to the Verizon loading but then spin there forever.
I installed all of the necessary software and tried to dl the firmware flash files that are suggested on all guides but LGUP throws an error either that the file is bad or that there was an issue with the update/refurb.
I installed LG Bridge but it was pretty useless without a restore file to restore the phone to (not to mention it could not detect the phone where LGUP did).
Also the only source of the firmware kdz files (the only source I can find lg-firmwares.com) seem to have a limit of like 90 KB/s dl rates so these 1.5 GB files take all day to dl and then don't work.
Every guide I can find here on xda for the boot loop says it can definitely be fixed and that its a soft brick (since I can still boot to the download mode). But then they don't seem to actually guide you in any logical path to fixing it other than doing the same LGUP that seems to not work.
I went to reddit to see if I could talk to anyone about the issue and was sent here by a bot and my post was removed.
I hope someone can help. If you need any more information I am happy to provide. All I am wanting is to just factory reset the phone so it works again.

Looking for HydrogenOS MSM Download Tool for 6T (aka H2OS, HOS)

I'll keep it point form:
I have a Chinese 6T, and any time I try to use MSM with an OOS ops file, I get "Device not match image".
I got my drivers from Windows Update, they work
I even tried SMT mode
I think the files here would work, but they're gone now
Background:
I cannot access fastboot/adb --only the unlocked bootloader warning screen, then Qualcomm dump screen
I understand the process of turning off the phone, then plugging it in with vol+/- pressed --I am able to get into EDL but that's it
I got my OnePlus 6T a week ago, brand 'new' (never opened), and only used it for a day before fudging it up --this sucks!
I've tried all of the 6T OOS MSM Download Tool versions available on this forum, site-wide. The only thing I haven't been able to find and try is the HOS 6T unencrypted ops file with a corresponding MSM Tool.
Would really really appreciate those files, if anyone has them tucked away.
Sincerest thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
In all my research, and broken links, etc --I really think that OnePlus is forced to keep Hydrogen OS a (state) secret. We can all easily acquire the Oxygen OS decrypted, but no one has the decrypted Hydrogen OS MSM Download Tool anymore, all links lead to 404 pages.
If anyone has a copy of Hydrogen OS but don't want to publicly share it, drop me a DM and we can talk elsewhere. I'm buying another OnePlus 6T for now and putting this one in a drawer.
I'm not in a rush to find a solution, I know these things can take time. Even if you read this in 2022 or hell, even 2023, please assume I still need the HydrogenOS MSM Download Tool for OnePlus 6T. I'd really like to fix my phone one day, even if it isn't as quickly as I'd like.
Thanks in advance to whoever helps me out, one day!

6T is hard bricked.... param preload device not match image

Hello everyone. it's been a week that I work on this problem but I can't solve it myself despite having made numerous attempts. the situation is this: installing lineage os when the system restarted the 6t got stuck in the bootlader. I installed qualcom drivers from here
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603879743
and downloaded msm https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=17248734326145733776
I disabled windows secure boot and installed optional qualcomm drivers on windows... the 6t is correctly recognized as Qualcomm 9008 in the device manager in port 9 but I also tried in the 7 and it is always correct.
I tried other divers (after removing the previous ones) and other versions of msm but I always give the same error : param preload... device not match images.
I have read many discussions and tried many things but I can not solve. someone is willing to help me. Thanks guys.
I also tried uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling these:

the problem is not solved but changed to: (recording dawnload time in red) images do no match with teh phone!
i can't figure out if it's a msm or driver version problem or maybe something else ...
I don't know what the exact problem. If you have installed magisk or modify something to your phone, sometime msm will fail to recognized or flash..
rom
But if your phone can boot into fastboot mode, try to flash fastboot ROM it might help
Fastboot rom.

if you get a warning in MSM tool: 'images do not match the phone', you are flashing the wrong image. That could happen to a branded phone. So, if you have a T-Mobile branded phone, either convert it to Global first (that tool has 'device check' disabled), or use T-Mobile MSM tool.
Your other option is to contact OnePlus support and they can help you remotely. I got into a similar bind with my 6t a year and ½ ago and nothing I was attempting worked. It was very frustrating. Ultimately I contacted OnePlus and they got me back up and running in no time. I was a little upset that I had to resort to relying on the manufacturer but also relieved to have a working device again and also thankful that it was an option, even if I would've preferred to have fixed it myself. Good luck.
PS - something to be aware of, I'm not 100% sure that it was a result of OnePlus' involvement/remotely flashing the device but somehow I ended up with a new/different IMEI. This created a world of difficulty with my cellular carrier (VZW) - I had finagled a OnePlus 8 out of them by citing manufacturers defect (I had coverage through VZW despite purchasing the phone directly from OnePlus) but they said the OnePlus 6t they received had a different IMEI than what they expected to receive, which makes absolutely no sense and this is the only possible explanation I could come up with. It ultimately saved me from having to pay for retail for the OnePlus 8 but not without a lot of headaches in between. Oh and lemme just say that having a VZW OnePlus with a locker bootloader sucks, I can't wait to get away from this thing and back to something I can root (I only pulled this maneuver in order to buy myself some time as I wasn't thrilled with the 1+9)

Bad internet connection after unbricking

Hello everyone,
I've flashed my phones for quite a few years, messed things up from time to time, but always found solutions. This time however, i don't really know where to start.
I kept my Zenfone Max Pro M1 in its original state for the time of warranty and only unlocked and flashed it a few months ago. I first got into problems with the storage (couldn't install apps) and in my attempt to fix it i kinda bricked my phone... i don't remember all the steps i took, but what ended up working was Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFIL) with an Image i found online.
After that i flashed Spark OS and later Superior OS (both clean flashes), but with both i'm having problems with the internet connection. I only get EDGE which is really slow (WiFi, phone calls and everything else works fine). Tried out all possibly APNs and swapped SIM-cards with a friend to rule that out.
I'm suspecting some file needed for UMTS and up (specifically for european networks?) has been overwritten, but i haven't been able to find anything (great job by Microsoft renaming their browser also to Edge, doesn't make the search easier).
I recall having similar problems back then and flashing a certain radio.img fixed it, but i don't find anything about that either. Maybe something else baseband related? Do you think Asus could help me out? What to ask for?
Grateful for any input
Update: realized my serialnumber is displayed as C4ATAS000000 which is not that uncommon and might be the culprit. haven't found a working solution yet, but working on it
