[GUIDE] Unlock Verizon OnePlus 8 5G UW (IN2019) bootloader - OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

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: 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.

Did you follow the guide while unlocking your bootloader and if so, do you have any feedback for the guide? This is my first guide so I just wanted to hear any potential criticism.

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).

Thanks guys. I'll be trying this soon.

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

Yes. As long as your device is unlocked (60 days after initial purchase from Verizon) then it will work with any SIM.

Lg g3 auto-rec "hard brick" fix

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?

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.
Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

@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

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,
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.

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 so much for your reply. I have been trying to install the 1.14 patched version for developers but it seems the links I have tried are giving me the store version. Can you suggest a good source for the file? Also am I correct in looking for the 1.14 version? Or should I use 1.15? 1.16? 1.17?
Thanks again for your help.

I am one step closer I think. The link in the post you directed me to for the patched LGUP appears to be in Chinese.
I think I figured this part out though. Now I think I have a new problem. I an getting an invalid DLL error.
(see imgur.com/1b6VVD8)
I ran LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.5.0 but that doesnt seem to work.
Can you help me with the correct DLL for the unlocked AT&T V35 model LMV350AWM10n and where to place the file or how to install it?
Thank you for your help.

The dll error it's probably because you are either not installing the dev version, or not launching from the desktop shortcut it creates.
I don't remember it being in Chinese.
If I don't have time to check tonight I'll look see it tomorrow.

OK, I see what you are talking about. In that post to which I linked, I gave TWO different versions of Dev Patched LGUP which work with V35. Yes, one was from a Chinese website, but I said if it doesn't work then to try the other version. I wrote that post over a year ago, and since then I've advised to use the 2nd one more often.
So, try that one. I've attached it to this post. I've also copied and pasted the instructions below.

Flash in Refurbish mode. Then Master Reset for good mesure:
Master Reset -- using buttons:
1. Unplug phone and turn it OFF.
2. Press and hold the Power and Volume down buttons.
3. When the LG logo appears, quickly release the Power button only -- then immediately press Power button again, while STILL pressing the Volume down button until you see the screen to select Yes to erase and reset everything.
4. Release both buttons so you can make your choices.
With your device powered off, press and hold the Power button and Volume Down buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.
When the LG logo appears, quickly release and then re-hold the Power button while keep holding the Volume Down button.
Let go of the buttons when the onscreen menu appears.
When you see the option to Delete all user data (including LG and carrier apps) and reset all settings message prompt, press the Volume Down button to highlight Yes.
Then press the Power button to reset the device.
Wait until the reset is complete then reboot your device. If it’s able to boot up successfully, proceed with the initial setup.

It's all fairly easy. Most people breeze right through this. But if you have any problems, go through this list:
* Make sure you in download mode BEFORE opening the patched LGUP file.
This is at the top of the list as some people forget to do that. The remainder are in no particular order. If that doesn't work,
* Try different USB port,
* Try different USB cable,
* Try different computer.
* Reinstall LG mobile drivers on your PC.
* Reinstall dev patched LGUP again.
* Reboot the computer.
If you ask for help, that's the list of items we are going to give you anyway.

[OP8][OOS VZW 67CD] 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, six months after device release and 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, OP8Pro, regular OP8T and T-Mobile OP8T here is the EDL package (also known as MSM tool or unbrick tool) that can revive a bricked OnePlus 8 bought from Verizon.
It will only work with Verizon variant IN2019
Be aware this will change your warranty date in About Phone -> Status to "None". This is not something I can do anything for.
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 10.5.5
Mirror for first and last MSMs: https://onepluscommunityserver.com/
ANDROID 11:
OOS 11.0
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.
Click on Target button and select Verizon.
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?

My phone shows up as IN2019, I don't see where it would be QDLOADER 9008 or QHUSB_BULK. I can't get into EDL. What should I try next? I tried fastboo and ABD nothing gets it into edl

As said in OP, QDLOADER and QHUSB_BULK mentions are meant to show in device manager. Refer to OP to get into Qualcomm EDL mode: use hardware buttons once device is off or reboot to EDL by adb.

Unfortunately I don't, this is the only version I've been able to obtain.
I however believe that if you get your bootloader unlocked after reaching out to @Whoareyou (reference https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus8-vzw-bootloader-is-not-unlockable.4091933/post-83769667 ) you should be able to switch of current slot by using fastboot --set-active=other and therefore go back to 10.5.4

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?
