Hi everyone, 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 and OP Nord here are the EDL packages (also known as MSM tools or unbrick tools) that can revive a bricked OnePlus 8T.
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:
KB05AA tools (international firmware):
ANDROID 11:
OOS 11.0
OOS 11.0.1.2
OOS 11.0.4.5

Tips:
While crossflashing does not seem to break your /persist unlike on 8-series, it is advised that you back it up before attemting to do so as fingerprint reader may give an error related to enrollment issue. You can do so by using dd if=/mnt/vendor/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img (you must have root access, which is not something I'm going to explain here) and moving it to your computer/cloud.
Instructions:
Launch MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe.
Windows 7 users may use MsmDownloadTool V4.0_Win7.exe instead, but it hasn't been tested.
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 O2 while using global tool or India while using indian tool or EU when using european tool.
Press Start button (this is done so that device will be "captured" automatically by tool instead of going back to normal boot after 10 seconds)
Power your device off.
Let it cool down for one minute.
Hold both volumes in to get in Qualcomm EDL mode and the screen will stay black. While holding, plug in the USB cable from your phone to your computer. Let volumes go alter plugged in.
Wait some time (should not be longer than ~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 when I click on "Enum" button
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.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=qualcomm hs usb 9008 ) 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.
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?
Please refer to https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83448961&postcount=61, all credits to @Shadow12347 for finding it out.
Why is my device getting in Qualcomm crashdump mode in spite of a successful download?
Your unit was most likely manufactured after March 9th 2021, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ice-to-oxygenos.4180837/page-14#post-84789741 for reference. You therefore need to use HydrogenOS 11.0.7.12 MSM to recover your device linked at https://www.oneplusbbs.com/thread-5886794-1.html (mirrored at https://mega.nz/file/O8UySbgR#cXGlHkdA_7CYEhKIrek9zzAEwJ7Vx1D5BZdemnPlvGE by @pikatenor ). Getting new OxygenOS MSM tools is nowadays impossible unless you own the device it is meant for, so OP will not be updated to add new OxygenOS MSM tools allowing to workaround this issue. Feel however free to reach out to me in DM if you would like to get told how to maximise your chances to obtain one.

OnePlus for the device and OS
Will this work for the T-Mobile OnePlus 8T+ or only the unlocked version?
If it does work I guess I'll have to wait for my bootloader unlock code from OnePlus before doing this, or will this bypass it? (I'm already SIM unlocked but Everytime I try to request a Bootloader unlock code and press submit it tells me to enter a valid code, OP claims it's because it's not yet 45 days from when I purchased the device, which doesn't make sense)
#3 I don't see the link anywhere where I can download the MSM tool, it says download tool but does give a link
Thanks for your great work

MSM tools don't care about bootloader lock status. So IF, and that's an IF until we hear otherwise, it works with our model, you won't need to be bootloader unlocked before running it.
I personally won't do anything until we also have the T-Mobile MSM tool as well.

Assuming it works, will I be able to go with the version of the MSM tool from TMO to International OS or I'll need to wait for the TMO MSM tool and load the International OS into that MSM tool and get it done that way?
Great job getting hold of these, vouch!

Not sure. It wasn't possible with the 7T Pro because the device name was different (hotdog vs hotdogg). OP would be better able to answer this.

I'd assume it's the same here as well, because recent years were always that the case and I'll be surprised if it's not the case here as well, so I guess I'll wait a bit longer for the T-Mobile MSM Tool

@SmileBigNow you need to open the spoilers to see the download links
Additionally above files are strictly intended for unlocked units and cannot be used for conversion, however I got the file to unbrick T-Mobile variant as well, but I would prefer if someone could confirm it flash on their device before releasing it, feel free to DM me on here or Telegram (link on my profile). Note that I prefer latter.
If it works I will make a separate thread for it.

I have the same issue. OnePlus reps couldn't wrap their head around that I'm already network unlocked... Kept saying I needed to wait the 45 days which is complete horse****. I had my 7t unlocked within a week and bootloader unlocked in 2. I get the same invalid unlock code error. Good God. They even tried to tell me "the unlock code TMO gave you is bad..." Like dude...I got the **** FROM THE PHONE ?*

Yeah, it doesn't even make any sense the 45 days wait, the 45 days is usually to get a SIM unlock from T-Mobile not a unlock code from OP, they are just coming up with stupid excuses

Same thing with that one
Sent from my OnePlus KB2007 using XDA Labs
This tool just saved my butt. Thank you!
I'm not seeming to find coherent instructions to get back to stock 11.0.2.2IN11AA
I have the 8 Pro, rooted, newest magisk and I installed a magisk module that is now causing System UI crash at startup. I have tried a couple things: 1) tried the "adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules" --> nothing happens when starting back up except System UI error. 2) I've flashed back to stock boot.img (hoping to get to safe mode to disable magisk)...all I get is System UI error again.
So...what I want to do is start all over and end up with 11.0.2.2IN11AA rooted. Once I'm back to "factory" I'm pretty sure I can get back to magisk and root.
Can anyone help me with some decent instructions please?
Thanks
I can. So last week I managed go back from a rooted situation to stock rom with LOCKED bootloader. This means that you're phone will be as you bought it and you're gonna lose everything of course.
This video on YT helped me.

Yes, it's all true. Sorry for that i have now working for many days on this. Not sleeping enought. One more question that could bring me a step foward...
I was on IN11.0.2.2 before i locked the bootloader and bricked the device.
Now i downladed the Decrypted OxygenOS 11.0.0 IN21BA Version. I have now the error: Param Preload Device not match image. Question: Must i habe the Decrypted OxygenOS 11.0..2.2 IN21BA Version that it goes to work?
I can't the use the link for the right version, it is password protected.!

Thank you, but I didn't find it.
One point I have forgotten to tell. Before the hard brick happened, I used Magistik and Patch a new boot.img then I flashed this with fastboot command. My failure was to make this 2. times. with different patches. The horrible thing is now that I must delete these files on my Laptop to get more space. When this the Problem of the MSMTOOL error is I had not really a chance to unbrick my device. Have anyone Downgrade with MSMTOOL the Stock Rom?
Thx for your help. I download now from OP the latest ROM. I will try it. I feel really scared. Maybe my device is not unbricked anymore.
The other Tool that I have (last chance) is the original Qualcomm flashing Tool QPST.

None of that matters.
1st identify your device!
What region is it?
If you have BA then don't flash AA you'll mess things up.
2nd visit the MSM thread!
Download the tool 'for your device!'
3rd boot to EDL (I responded to you in the romaur thread how to do this)
4th as soon as it's connected to your pc in edl, flash the device
5th MSM will relock your bootloader.
6th don't do something if you're not sure, just ask.
Oh and lol chill on the swearing also on posting everywhere, just make 1 thread and stick with it, people will help
Hey, my Phone is working like a charm. Thx for the great work !!!. I'm so happy !!!
It is better to come here to real developers, I had to get bad download links and bad Software! This was the only problem. For many years I have the first Samsung Galaxy and I'm knowing that I can get all the problems for not booting devices back. But I was scared that many Devices like Huwai bring their bootloaders with cryptographic methods in a safe trunk.
Best wishes to you, and the people that I'm working for the android project!

Lol no worries pal, but trust me, always make a thread unless one exists, it'll work out.
Glad you're sorted.
Hey guys, since I just can't seem to find it myself, I'll ask here.
Im currently owning an IN2020 model, which, for the life of me I can't get back up running after rooting it (worked for around 5h, then I got stuck in a bootloop)
Right now, I'm stuck in fastboot/qualcomm crash dump mode, can't progress any further.
When trying to flash any of the International, Indian or Europe Versions of OOS (I tried several different versions, A10 and A11 alike) either I have some modules not working, i.e. WIFI won't turn on, Phone can't register my SIM so I can't make calls etc etc or it just goes straight to qualcomm crash dump mode.
Bootloader is unlocked.
fastboot oem edl nets me a "FAILED (remote: unknown command)", and I tried the "vol+/vol-" trick for over an hour now to no avail, so I cant use MSMTool either.
Can someone please provide me with a link to a working stock ROM for the IN2020 model I can flash via fastboot?
Or maybe theres a solution I just can't see right now, I'm not that great with Android tbh.
Any help is much appreciated, if you need any info/dumps, please also tell me how to get them.

Thanks for the quick reply, but for the MSM unbrick tool, I can't enter Qualcomm EDL mode, neither via fastboot command nor the vol+/vol- plug-in method.
Am I right in thinking that I need a GLOBAL fastboot rom for the IN2020 model to work properly?

Edit:
Seems like having the phone connected via a USB3.0 port was the issue here, I tried a 2.0 and suddenly i can enter EDL. Now running the MSMtool (working fine so far). I'll update as soon as its finished.
Edit 2:
Well, beat me up and call me names, it actually worked, phone is now "set up" again, ill still keep a second alarm on for tonight though, just in case my phone decides to go back to bootloop. All this time all it took was a 2.0-port ...
Thanks anyway, next time I'll be a bit more careful when playing around =)
Progress is good!
hi, I have a bricked IN2020 as you did.
may I know which fastboot rom in the above link you had chosen work for you? As I can see only indian / EU /international build, and cannot find any Chinese hydrogen build for IN2020.
Or it worked fine for you to flash an international into the IN2020? Thanks for advise
Is there any way to go back to stock from Paranoid Android 12 besides the MSM tool? I have been unable to get my computer to recognize the phone in EDL mode with the MSM tool, not sure if it's because of my cables, lack of USB 2.0 ports or that I'm on Windows 11 but I cannot get that tool to find the phone once it's in edl mode.
Can I flash the stock Android 11 images somehow or is the ONLY way through the MSM tool? If that's my only options I guess I'm going to have to find a Windows 10 computer with 2.0 usb ports.
Bro you can also flash images through Windows Powershell..
I have an old I3 with Windows 7 on it that works well with the MSM tool. You can just hard reset your phone with it hooked up and the MSM tool will catch it and fire up. I have tried it on my newer laptop with Win 11 and other newer machines and never got it to work once. I think it has something to do the Qualcom driver that doesn't work on these newer machines.

That's alright bro, you don't definitely need the Windows Powershell. Just use Cmd

Win 7 can cause problems if you're going between the phones OS and fastboot, drivers can't seem to populate the same space In device manager..
It's quite odd.
Windows 10 works as expected, no need to install anything, from a fresh build of windows, just plug in your phone then turn on usb debugging and accept the prompt on your phone, copy over ADB / fastboot into a folder ok root of C (C:/ADB)
Then open a command prompt / powershell window pointed there then query ADB devices, it should work fine...then test fastboot from the same session, windows 7 will work with the phone booted to system and maybe EDL but fastboot can have issues.

I have been unable to get my computer to recognize the phone in EDL mode with the MSM tool, not sure if it's because of my cables, lack of USB 2.0 ports or that I'm on Windows 11 but I cannot get that tool to find the phone once it's in edl mode.
Can I flash the stock Android 11 images somehow or is the ONLY way through the MSM tool? If that's my only options I guess I'm going to have to find a Windows 10 computer with 2.0 usb ports.

Quickest way is MSM mate.
You'll need to unlock the bootloader again but besides that it's the fastest method back, plus you won't have any left over system or images from your previous phone's firmware.
Seeing as we don't yet have official android 12, you are still essentially on Android 11. It's just system images were installing..
Which is why I haven't bothered to install it yet.
Hey Zladz...... how about going back from evoX12 to evoX11? I miss root and Swift backups. This 12 works very well and it`s eye candy but if there`s a way to go back....?? My OOS base is from last spring...i think it`s 10.4.4 or something.

Again mate MSM.. just pick the version you want to go back to.
I've only ever used 11.4.4 but I'd guess you can pick whatever you wanted.
Just be mindful when downgrading, there always a risk, although the MSM tool has never failed me.
Re: root, you can use root on 10, 11 or 12.
Follow my payload dumper/magisk guide in the guides section, the principle is exactly the same, plus bare in mind Evo 12 is still using 11 as a base, 12 hasn't been released yet.

Thanks again ! I was hoping that i don't have to go back OOS again but i have time enough to do that. I'am going to use your patched image to root because i'am on BA. Easier that way

Ah yep you can definitely do that..
If you want the patched boot image for magisk 23 for Evo 6 (android 11) then here it is.
Only ever boot it though, then click magisk / install / install directly - this will make it permanent, with booting an image, soon as you reboot it'd revert the changes made by what you booted.

You could maybe jump back to the previous version of Evo, I personally haven't done this but in theory it should work... Any issues though and you'll need to further m format anyway, so up to yourself

Tried go back with "adb sideload" previous version,cleaded data but it booted with 12
To be clear....Now i have to MSM to 11.0.4.4 (that one i downloaded) and should i let it update to latest firmware 11.0.10.10 and then unlock bootloader and do the usual stuff?

Yep that's what I do. Bare in mind that the MSM tool will relock your bootloader, so that will need to be unlocked, then either root on 4.4 or update and then root.
If you choose to root when on 4.4. Don't reboot after installing the firmware, open magisk first then install, then install after OTA.
That will retain root after the 4.4 to 10.10 update

Hello all,
I am trying to help my son fix some of his Oneplus 6t phones. Please bear with me as I am not the most tech savvy. He uses the phones for a business and I like to try to help out.
He has 5 Oneplus 6t devices, 3 are stuck in fastboot and 2 went into qualcomm crash dump errors. These issues happened when he tried to install a custom rom, Arrow OS.
I wanted to help him factory restore the phones so that we could try again. I downloaded the following:
1) Oneplus 6t USB drivers - https://oneplususbdrivers.com/oneplus-6t-usb-driver-download/
2) Qualcomm USB drivers - https://gsmusbdrivers.com/download/android-qualcomm-usb-driver/
3) A decrypted Oxygeon OS MSM download tool - https://www.thecustomdroid.com/oneplus-6-6t-unbrick-guide/
We ran the MSM tool as administrator and plugged in the phone with a black screen, while holding the up and down volume button. Only sometimes it was recognized / connected. When we clicked start in the MSM tool, I ran into a few potential issues.
1) Image files do not match device
2) Waiting for device (just keeps counting)
Also, often the device was not recognized, and we could not get it to work.
In the device manager, it does not show the correct device. It gives some error / device not recognized issue. I am not sure if this is related. I tried re-installing the drivers, as well as trying on a second computer. The cable we are using is able to detect non-corrupt Oneplus 6t devices fine, so I do not believe that is the issue. Also an important note, some of the devices may be T-mobile branded but I am not sure which, if any.
Does anyone know what are the next steps or things I can try? I would really like to get these devices working for him so he can continue with his business. Sadly I cannot afford to replace or rebuy the devices. I fear I am making a simple mistake somewhere but am not sure where.
Thanks for your help in advance.
It's highly likely you may need the Verizon version of the factory image you can reset with MSM Tool
Do NOT Use the patched version of the MSM Tool unless you are sure you are flashing a correct compatible image with your phone

Hi, thank you for your response.
I'm not sure the issue you had is the same as mine. My Oneplus 6T does not show up in the device manager at all.
I tried doing the unsigned device drivers thing, but when I select the folder that contains the onplus_android_winusb folder, it says it cannot find the drivers.
Sadly I think I have to give up on this one I am not very tech savvy and really don't know what else I can do.
I was able to fix one of the phones. I tried using fajita_41_J.50_210121 as my MSM recovery and it worked.
The fact that it worked implies to me my issue doesn't lie with the drivers, but rather which MSM file I am using, is this a good assumption?
If so, how can I figure out which files to use? I tried that same file on the 4 other phones, but would always get Sahara communication error.

This is what I was trying to say, you probably have the Verizon version, you need to make absolutely sure the MSM recovery files you are using are for that phone model
I bought my phone as global but they sent me a unlocked Verizon model, I found out because I couldn't flash it with MSM tool until I used the Verizon versions files

Hi,
I believe you are right, that makes sense.
I see that the 1 phone that was fixable is very slightly different than the other 4- it doesn't have an IMEI code on the back, so likely it was a different version or something.
Where do I find the right recovery files? I searched for Verizon Oneplus 6t MSM Download Tool but I don't see anything different.
Sorry for my incompetence, I appreciate your help
I was able to fix a few more phones using the Tmobile 9.0.13 MSM Tool here:

2 of the phones didn't work, they have Sahara communication errors still. I am not sure how to locate the right MSM tools for these- any ideas?
Furthermore, I flashed 9.0.13 from the MSM tool, but I would like to update to specifically 10.3.11, how can I do that?

That is the same version I flash with MSM Tool I think
You should follow the instructions here for the Verizon version https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-sim-unlock-t-mobile-version-all-type-of-imei-supported.3915269/
You can unlock the verizon variant by using a custom patched MSM Tool
After you have followed those instructions to have it unlocked on the international version rom
Then you are able to just flash the Normal OOS Flashable Update Zips via TWRP or the built in updater
Download them here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...a-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.3865396/
This allows you to update to the latest OOS 10 or 11
I really don't know about your other phones, Are they definitely OnePlus 6Ts ? I am only aware of the global and verizon variants, so if it's not either of those, I am not sure it's a OnePlus 6T
I managed to fix them by flashing the T-mobile version. This worked, but then I needed to unlock them since they were T-mobile locked. I converted them to the international version earlier successfully.
I am on 9.0.11 stock now! All I need to do really is update to 10.3.11
I will try following the links you have provided.
They are definitely 6ts
Thanks for your continued help.

Hi,
I tried downloading the 10.3.11 OS from the provided link and doing a local upgrade, but it said that it failed.
I tried doing an upgrade first to 9.0.17 (I read somewhere this would help), which was successful. I then tried going to 10.3.11 but it failed. I went to 10.0 which worked. Do you know how I can get to 10.3.11? Is there a certain order of "mandatory" updates I need to do first? I'm not too keen on local upgrading every single increment since there are a lot.

Yes you are right but you do not need to download Every single update
I have found that these are the files I need to upgrade, I keep them saved for easy access
Code:
1-OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_024_all_1909112343_d5b1905(9.0.17).zip
2-OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_047_all_2007171912_ac6dc9b(10.3.5).zip
3-OnePlus6TOxygen_34.J.48_OTA_048_all_2010042240_dbd576b615(10.3.6).zip
4-OnePlus6TOxygen_34.J.55_OTA_055_all_2107132253_b2cbbb97b4eee(10.3.12).zip
If you wanted 10.3.11 instead of 10.3.12, I don't see why that wouldn't work
These are all the full upgrade zips, but if you have a locked bootloader and use the official update method through the settings, I have been able to use the smaller OnePlus6TOxygen_34.J.55_OTA_048-055_patch_2107132253_b96081(10.3.6-10.3.12).zip Upgrade Zip to go from 10.3.6 to 10.3.12

I have actually found from testing that I did not need to flash the 10.3.5 or 10.3.6 Zips and could go from 9.0.17 to 10.3.12 if I used the full flashable update zips
so I am not sure why it failed for you
You are so awesome, thank you that worked flawlessly (the 4 separate upgrades). Throughout this thread I was able to:
Go from a soft bricked device, use the Tmobile MSM download tool to restore it, use a normal MSM download tool to convert it to the international variant, then upgrade it to 10.3.11.
My last question is regarding root, we are looking to root the device with magisk/twrp. I haven't done it in a few years so am a bit rusty on the process. It is a Oneplus 6t on 10.3.11, do you know where I can find the relevant files?
I see the latest fajita (oneplus 6t) files here: https://dl.twrp.me/fajita/
I'm a bit hesitant to use them because:
1) I'm not sure if I should use the latest ones, or an older version. I think I tried using the latest ones for something before and it messed something up.
2) I see people post online that I may need Enchilada files instead, even though that is for the Oneplus 6t, or that I need a mauronofrio twrp file instead, so I would prefer to wait for a decisive answer.
Thanks again for your help, you saved the day and my son is so elated

I am glad I could help and I do understand the hesitation, it is smart to be careful and not flash the wrong recovery file, the only time I have truly bricked a phone was by flashing the wrong recovery
I use the fajita twrp from the official source that you linked but the version you want to use does depend on your android version
You can get a crash dump error by using the latest TWRP on older OOS
I have been using Jaguar ROM for the OnePlus6T
My own installation process is as follows and WILL WIPE ALL DATA ON THE PHONE
Assuming you are coming from Latest Official OOS 10 (10.3.12)
Enable Developer mode and OEM Unlocking (In the Hidden Developer Settings)
(Optionally enable USB Debugging to adb reboot to bootloader)
(You may have to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement on Windows 10/11 to install correct drivers)
Reboot your phone to Fastboot by holding volume up and down during power up or with "adb reboot bootloader" in terminal, allowing the connection on your phone.
In Terminal
fastboot flashing unlock
FastBoot to TWRP 3.5.2
fastboot boot twrp.img
Install TWRP 3.5.2 .zip and Reboot to TWRP
WIPE Data Factory Reset and type YES to confirm and Reboot to TWRP
Flash the ROM and then flash TWRP 3.5.2
Reboot to TWRP Again
Flash ROM again then TWRP again
Reboot once then flash magisk etc via twrp
The process is more simple to just install magisk on stock OOS and I hope soon Jaguar will update to android 12, then the latest twrp should work with it
You will of course also need to have the android platform tools installed
SDK Platform Tools release notes | Android Studio | Android Developers
Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK.

Worst case scenario I have found with OP6T, like not able to boot into recovery or anything
I can just do a factory flash with MSM tool using the patched version and then follow the above steps again
Everything is working, thanks so much for your help- I will pay it forward.
