I have the same problem as you. Msm seems to work fine, but phone will not boot up, just shows crashdump mode. Could it be because we upgraded to android 11 and there is no msm for that version?

Did you find a solution for your issue?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] hardythaker:
Unfortunately, No! I've gave up on that actually. Not trying anymore. But one thing I have noticed that if you use OOS 5.* image, it works but 1 out of 10 times. I was able to turn on the phone and it worked for I think 2-3 days (didn't do anything, it was just idle) and again went to Crash Dump mode.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mord0rr:
Well, hard reset is the option on system to return to factory option....

Apart some problems with audio and Viper4audio, phone looks perfectly ok.

DiD you try Maurofrio autoinstall rom?

Personally i stay on PIE 9.0.9....

Followed the instruction, and successfully downloaded the files to OP6 but the phone stuck in Black screen with white notification light on after the OS booting page.

I am quite unclear on this EDIT. Could anybody will be able to help on this. I am into this loop.!!

"EDIT: if you are stucked in bootloader, you have only to power off and continue with the part: ... hold for 5 seconds vol up... (it happened in page 4)"

hi im having the same issue like yours did you found a way to fix it?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sk005:
Hi there,

I have drained the battery completely and tried the same steps after few hours of charging. No luck there still. But, after a day of keeping it idle, it started booting and UI was accessible. I mean the issue resolved for me.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] shank1524:
I used this method on an OP 6 which was going in to crashdump mode frequently, I was successfully able to use this tool and the phone booted up normally, so Thank you for your guide, but I have a question, does this method ensure that your phone will not go into crashdump mode?

edit: it doesn't, device can still end up in crashdump mode(atleast in my case, it did)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ereghro:
I got crash dump mode too. only cooling the phone with frozen gel helps. It can stay on longer this way. after some time, crash dumps again.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] compitruenos:
Hello! My op6 was charging, like everyday, but when I unlock the screen, the screen turned off. I have no recovery, fastboot, anything.

Followed the tutorial with msmdownloadtool but always got sahara connection failed, tried thousands of drivers and many firmwares. Only once did it get past that step and it got stuck with the green bar midway "downloading system.img ..." for hours. Now I can't even get to that step. I have tried several computers, w10 and w11 with usb 2.0 and 3.0 ports...

Need help.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] espionage724:
Apparently different Qualcomm driver exes install different things; I have one package from some source that works fine, whereas another I got didn't install the driver for my OP6. I had assumed the drivers were relatively generic for most Qualcomm devices like adb drivers from Google.

The Qualcomm exe drivers that work for me with a OP6 today have a MD5 of: 30c1e4f93a119ec2401d00c0c91505bb

I had to also press and hold the power and Vol down button (I think, whichever Vol key is needed for EDL mode) while my phone was connected to the PC while it was already in EDL mode and have it reboot back into EDL mode for MSM DL tool to pick it up and start flashing.

I'm using the MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe with the following MD5 found in OnePlus_6_OxygenOS_10.3.8.zip: cd528073ad1677f990f0ea83572f1259

Those were the two issues I just ran into about 5 minutes ago but eventually got my phone reflashed.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] compitruenos:
Thanks for your reply!

Could you upload your files and tool for me?

How to know if it is already in EDL mode? Msm always shows "conected" and device manager shows "Qualcomm 9008 usb xxxx" without warning...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] rasikreality:
Hello! I don't know if you were able to repair it but in my case the story is exactly the same, altough is not my phone but my friend's. He asked me to repair it but, after 3 different laptops (W10/11), thousands of driver installations and driver updates, I can't pass the sahara error thing... I only succeded one time, but the phone didn't start after MSM said 'complete'. Only the OP logo appeared for some seconds and, again, it powered off completely and, since then, sahara error 24/7.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fanto88:
I was using my oneplus 6 like always but i got the dumpcrash error, everytime i turn the phone on i can only see this error.

I tried following the guide, the flash is complete and with no errors but when i turn on my phone i see the android logo and then black screen with white led on. Anyway to fix this?

If i try to use different OOS version, for example OOS 10.3.0, MSM is stuck at params preload. Any fix?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] espionage724:
The USB port on the OP6 might be damaged (mine can disconnect with a bump but works fine otherwise), the USB-C cable might need replaced, or there's something going on with the USB on the computer itself (some wacky USB stack like WinUSB for controllers installed interfering, AMD's useless USB filter driver, loose USB port on the mobo, Ryzen USB on CPU vs PCH, etc).

If none of that is true, then it could be the OP6 has hardware damage requiring further investigation (common to need reballs on the SoC over-time) Crashdump is common with wireless stuff too (could be a bad modem config/SIM, bad WiFi AP with leftover data, or also chip-related with disconnected solder). I'd consider the phone done and get something else at that point, after I take a heat gun to the mobo in last-ditch effort :p

One idea is to get or make a Faraday cage, remove the SIM, put the OP6 into the cage, and then try flashing. If it's crashdumping because of something wireless, that can't happen if the signal can't reach the OP6 :p

I have OP6 and Msmdownloadtools has been consistently fine for me probably over 20 times from Windows 10 LTSC 21H2 and different C cables.

My problem is I only manage to start deviceand enter fastboot mode or twrp

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

How did you manage to install drivers correctly?

COse in my case, even after disable driver verification, it shows in device manager "Kendacom USB Device" instead of "US8_BULK"
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sconny:
Did you try another port? I had to try 3 different ones until I get it to work. Did you follow the YouTube tutorial linked in the op?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] milav:
I use legacy usb 2 port for the detection
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sconny:
Maybe you can try to uninstall the drivers and then reinstall them
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jchuillier:
Hello

I'm stuck in fastboot mode, the phone won't boot into recovery (it goes back to fastboot) and in the device manager I have no ports....

What can I try ?

Thanks
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sconny:
You have to get into that mode where nothing is on the display but the pc does recognize your phone. To do that, turn of your device, then hold vol+ for at least 5 seconds, connect your phone to the computer and then you should hear the sound of windows when something gets connected. Then start the tool as admin and run it. If you device doesn't show up in the tool, install the drivers as written in the op
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jchuillier:
You saved the phone's ass, it was getting ready for a flight against the wall....

THANKS A LOT !!!!

PS : On a side note maybe it would be a good idea to modify the OP to reflect this possibility.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nytebird:

Hi I tried and I got this:

PS C:\Users\Orion> bcdedit /set testsigning on
The boot configuration data store could not be opened.
Access is denied.

how can i get around this?

Update: helps if I run it as an admin ...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fivegates:
Thank you so much, it's really appreciated!

I like to see people helping each other and i'll keep doing
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fivegates:
Yes, you have to run the tool as administrator. Hope you have solved the issue
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fivegates:
I like my effort is usefull for the community!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] snowspark:
yes, but now that I'm in testmode, the computer is still installing some "Android Bootloader Interface" for me, and when I try to install the drivers, it says windows has determined it has the best ones already.

know of a way to fix that?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fivegates:
Your testmode isn't working properly, try another pc
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] snowspark:
i had another hdd laying around with a windows install. When I try it, it says "Windows could not find driver software for your device"

Also, the device shows up as "Android" not as US8_BULK. I'm using Windows 10
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fivegates:
try to follow the instructions, see this video if helps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpLvmID1wdI

to disable driver signature you can also try the option 2

https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/ho...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] snowspark:
I tried that too, and I've watched the video. I wonder if it has antyhing to do with that it's detecting the device as Android instead of US8_BULK

could it be ? It just says there are no drivers to install. I tried to go to the .ini file in the driver dir, and install it manually, but it sitll doesn't pair it with the device
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] OPO13R:
Can I use this tool to fix an "unknown model" issue on my OP 6? I was wondering about this after I used [MENTION=4712355]mauronofrio[/MENTION] 's Guide "[ROM][STOCK][FASTBOOT][OP6] Stock Fastboot ROMs for OnePlus 6" to restore my bricked phone to stock 5.1.6.

When I checked under settings/ phone info, everything is fine, except the missing entry unter (phone) "model". This is quite confusing to me.

Btw: When trying to start the Tool, it always crashes with the error message "Software image not exist".

The phone is perfectly recognised under device manager as it should ("Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008")
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mauronofrio:
You can try to flash again a fastboot rom, but you have to use the right version
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] OPO13R:
..which would be which version, then?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] snowspark:
I guess I had the device on when connecting it to the PC which was causing the problem. a bit distraught about this whole event.

I was able to connect it now, but got a Sahara Communication failed with the Msm DownloadTool. *It gets stuck waiting for the device. Any ideas why this would be ?

update: I started over from scratch. unplugged, restart, turn off etc. now everything is working.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fivegates:
I wouldn' t do it only to fix that, btw it's strange the behavior of the tool. Are you sure that you are executing it as admin? Did you update to 5.1.6?

I was on xXx No Limits 1.0 and had some infrequent random reboots. Followed this guide, used Oxygen Update from the Play Store, and now I'm on stock 5.1.7!

Now to install Magisk and pass safetynet, then decide if I want to unlock my bootloader again, but I think I'll just keep it locked until down the road when OP discontinues support and I need to resort to custom ROMs.

I need with the the tool. I'm still getting that weird

Software image not exist

error when trying to start the progam. What images is mentioned here anyway? Do I have to download ALL the files in the MEGA folder (the *.ops file and the zero MB file "ev_OverSeas_180517_2129_release_disable_OTA-BLOCK_Signed_fp05172042_cve2018-05-01_ufs_5.1.5"?

Got it. MEGA sucks due to its download limits (that's why I wasn't able to get all the files needed > that caused the error)

The Tool did well, as far as I can tell. BUT it locked my bootloader again and "fastboot oem unlock" fails with "FAILED: (remote: Flashing Unlock is not allowed)" - I have never had this error before. How will I be able to unlock the bootloader now?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] virusgandhi:
Downgraded from 5.1.7 to 5.1.5 due to battery issue...Downgraded to 5.1.5 in the first try :)

yes.. i'm a jerk!!!

I tried to install the DP2 via local installation, but I forgot to enable developer settings (unlock oem, usb debugging, etc.)

now my phone has been looped in the start screen.

In recovery mode I do not have "install" or "update"

so I tried using fastboot "flash-all.bat" from this file OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_012_all_1806140300_e4bacf-FASTBOOT.zip

but by mistake

I tried with msmdownload tool but remains in the procedure freeze on "downloading system.img to system_a.img" at about 98%.

Remember, my bootloader is locked.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fivegates:

It's making this sound from the PC that it's not accepted?/recognized or whatever..

I will donate as much as I can, just need my phone to get to work again.. Please, if you have any suggestions it would be a life saving!!

Open device manager on ur PC, keep ur phone plugged in, press and hold vol down and power until u feel vibrate then hold vol up and down until u see in device manager u see qualcomm 9008 then u can open msm tool, if u see u know device then install drivers.

Use my 5T guide, it will work the same just done use the files, drivers should work tbough

Unbrick Guide
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fivegates:
Just follow the instructions and see the YouTube guide I posted or this one (maybe it's the same). You have to put it off, hold the vol up 5 seconds and plug, but you have to stay in test mode in Windows.
