Hello, just sharing my experience

I had problems with the sahara connection failed error, kept rebooting the phone again and again but it still didn't work

SO here's what you should do

Make sure the qualcomm drivers are installed, AND the oneplus drivers too (very important !)

here's a link where there is an installer for the oneplus 6t drivers

https://oneplus.gadgethacks.com/how-to/unbrick-your-oneplus-6t-when-all-else-fails-0191272/

Then, unplug your phone and switch to fastboot mode (power+ volume up + volume down)

navigate with volume keys and select power off

then press vol up and vol down for about 5-10sec and plug your phone into the computer

then start the MSM process and everything should work !

For me it was a pb of drivers, I didn't have the oneplus drivers installed !

Hope that'll help you !

Load 9.0.13 w msm and then update to .17
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] pr3dicament:
I was under the impression this would only work for 9.0.11 if you aren't SIM Unlocked. I've got the 9.0.11 international rom on there now, and this is a T-Mobile variant.. I contacted them when I used TMO rom and couldn't unlock the bootloader without the wonderful unlock token, but I already know fastboot would unlock the bootloader with the International Rom. At least I can get the bootloader unlocked since it's enabled in the system settings with 9.0.11 international.. or so far, that's my experience with it. I won't be doing it yet. Also, is the 7-day method something I can still do or is that now discovered and patched as well? If so, I'm gonna do that if they don't SIM Unlock. I'm about to give it a try if it's my only shot. I honestly just don't get T-Mobile.. I guess they're not big enough. I should've never switched.. then I'd be just unlocking a bootloader and my SIM would be unlocked. Hell, I unlocked it with one of my Galaxy phones with AT&T. Been with T-Mobile over two years, three in June.

I just wanted to know if oem get_unlock_code would result in anything different since I'm currently on the international v9.0.11 rom, bootloader still locked by choice but that might change.. this is in contrast using get_unlock_code with a TMO stock rom installed.. I don't wanna flash back to stock but if I have to, then I will. I really was convinced I almost had a SIM unlock experience with T-Mobile Customer support, but that's way too much to post and too much to read for a thread like this. We're talking a book. This is nothing if you think this is long -_-

Either way, I'm just wondering if get_unlock_code would be the same regardless of the rom flashed.. international or TMO. Just asking as I couldn't get a clear answer on that. I'm apologize if it's somewhere in one of the threads--I've looked and possibly just didn't read enough. If you guys have an answer, I'd greatly appreciate it. Apologies for the long post as well.

HI hugo.mtx, You saved my day. I was getting "Sahara communication failed" error no matter what. I tried several other suggestions mentioned elsewhere. I was trying to setup adb and i installed Oneplus driver also in the process. Magic, no more Sahara. I think One plus driver did the trick.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hugo.mtx:
the pleasure's all mine. Spent a whole day trying to figure it out, glad it could save you that time !
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] GuyInDogSuit:
How do I do this if I'm on 9.0.16?

EDIT: Figured it out, buuuuut it won't update to 9.0.17. Should I try the "local update" option?

EDIT2: Yep, that worked.

How can I update from 9.0.16 to 9.0.17? I have reflashed a T-Moble phone with a locked bootloader to the Global 9.0.16 OS Rom. Thanks
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] GuyInDogSuit:
Download the 9.0.17 ".jar" file here, then rename the extension to .zip. Copy it to the root of the phone's storage, then enter the System Updates menu, and tap on the gear icon in the upper right corner, and choose "Local upgrade," choose the file, and reboot when it's done.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] shahfaishal:
android 10 is also available. why dont u update it here also?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Xenos7:
This tool comes directly from Oneplus, so the OP can't update it by himself. He'd need to get it again from Oneplus. Honestly, is it that hard to flash OTA zip after upgrade? Oneplus users are lucky to even have this tool, unlike other manufacturers who leave you hard bricked.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] shahfaishal:
Not hard at all but im saying if 10.3.0 is available, you should just add it to this collection - that's all! :)

I have an issue and need help if someone is willing to help me out here. So, I attempted this on a OnePlus 6t (Tmobile) and half way through the upgrrade process it got to the point of flashing the boot image. However, it hung and then stated it failed. I didn't know what to do so I unplugged the phone from my PC and now when I attempt to plug the device in Windows states that the device has malfunctioned and now the tool doesn't detect the device... what can I do to restore it?

EDIT: When I boot the phone it states that the Device is corrupted and it will not boot past this.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] austinpinto:
try to see if your device boots into fastboot mode.

you will just have to unlock your bootloader using fastboot oem unlock command and then download the fastboot rom if you want i can give you the link and flash it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Datastream33:
My device does indeed boot into Fastboot mode. However, when I execute the Fastboot oem unlock command it says:

FAILED (remote: Flashing Unlock is not allowed)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] onliner:
You should try with another driver(s), cable, USB port, tool version, and even PC if you can, at this point msmdownloadtool it's the only solution (I think) to your problem.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Datastream33:
Hello, I've managed to restore the device and it is running and updated to Android 10. Now, could you please point me in the right direction to unlocking the bootloader? When I try to toggle on OEM Unlock it is simply greyed out and won't let me toggle the switch. Any ideas? Thanks!

Anyone else have had this weird "issue" like me? I used MSMDownloadTool to fix my bricked OnePlus 6T Mclaren Edition after I accidentally soft bricked it trying to install a custom ROM. Anyways after I finished fixing my phone with this tool it downgraded me back to OOS 9.0.13 (down from OOS 10.3.1) and once the phone booted up the phone was In Dutch, I had to manually select "Recommended" English: United States. I thought this was a one time weird bug. Fast forward to today unlocked my bootloader like before and the phone factory reset and yet again the phone was in dutch when it booted up, I just selected English, but is that normal? Anyone else has had this issue? I've never seen that happen before (apart from the first time obviously).

My OnePlus 6T is rooted with TWRP running stock OOS 9.0.17. Suddenly it hanged and switched off. When I switched back on, it rebooted to "Bootloader unlocked" screen then it went into TWRP. There was no unlocking required for TWRP this time. It asked for Keep System Read Only or Swipe to allow modifications. I clicked on Read Only. Then I clicked reboot to system but it again happened the same. Bootloader unlocked screen and then twrp. When i went to install, i saw that i could not see my internal storage files. there were only two things - TWRP and up A level. What should I do now? Should I use this tool? and which stock OOS should i flash using this tool?

Doesn't matter if you are rooted, unrooted or what you will do with your phone in the future, this tool is the one that OnePlus uses in production, wipes everything, flashes the system and locks the bootloader.

What I was asking to begin with was if the msmdownload tool that has the 10.3 file would allow me to have the international version and if I could get google pay to work. I was also talking about not have to root my phone like before. I know that it looks the bootloader, but that is fine since I never had it like that.

I'm in a similar boat. Device is detected as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 and getting the same Sahara errors but I can't see anything as the display doesn't light up for some reason, there's no vibration as well corresponding to button presses. So far, I've tried two laptops, one with 2 USB3 and 1 USB2 port and the other laptop with 2 USB3 ports. I either get stuck at "Firehose getufsinfo failed" or at "Sahara Communication Failed".

Seems like I cannot power down my device for msmtool to detect properly.

2days ago that was me. Just follow the steps and bring your phone back from the grave.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] psychopac:
I've been following the OP but I either get Sahara Communication Failed or FirehoseGetufsinfo Failed. This is where I currently stand, last tried MSM tool about two-three days ago. Nothing happened.

I tried again this morning and as I can't see anything on my phone screen, held vol up and down and connected to laptop, phone shows up in device manager as Qualcomm HS USB under Ports, open MSM tool for 10.3.2 and click Start. I get Firehose Getufsinfo failed. I exit program and disconnect device.

Now as I cannot get any indication if my device is on or off and MSM tool requiring a powered off device, I connect device to laptop, hold vol up, down and power and after 25-30 secs, device manager refreshes device list and I see my phone again under Ports. I try MSM tool again and same message. I tried with and without the drivers. I've also tried running MSM tool as Admin just to see if it'd make any difference and two different laptops.

What am I doing wrong?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] suvam69:
Yes after 16s it shows sahara error.

Before connecting the dead phone to the pc just press vol up and vol down simultaneously.. and then connect the cable. And then release it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] psychopac:
That's exactly what I'm doing
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] suvam69:
Press the buttons and then connect to the data cable. Not after.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] psychopac:
What happens is for the first time I try this, I hold vol up and down and then connect the cable, in this case, the device shows up in device manager under Ports. But for the next tries, holding vol up and down doesn't shows any device under Ports in device manager, it's only detected when I hold vol up, down and power.

To put it easily, after the initial try, if I just hold vol up and down and then connect the cable, no device is shown under Ports
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] xenomorph318:
Ive been doing this literally since lunch today. After your error with the tool and your stuck on the black screen, unplug your device and then hold vol up and power till your phone vibrates and reboots. In my experience this is normally performed with the vol down button but its backwards on my device for some reason. As for your sahara/firehouse error, same happened to me all day. Its a driver issue, or at least it was for me. I uninstalled what windows install automatically, and reinstalled with the .exe installer. At the very beginning of the install it asks something about WAN dhcp or ethernet dhcp, I chose one, then installed, the ran the exe again and installed the other. I dunno if thats what fixed it for me or not but it worked after that! Also remember to reboot windows AFTER your driver installation.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] psychopac:

Yesterday, I was resetting my OnePlus 6T using the MSM tool like I had done many times before (even once earlier that night). But the power went off in the middle of the process rebooting my computer and stopping the transfer.

When I attempt to use the tool now (following the directions of course) I get the USB device not recognized on my Windows 10 PC. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, tried a different cord, and different ports to try and get the computer to recognize the phone, with no success. The phone does not turn on or respond at all.

Any thoughts or ideas on how to get the computer to recognize the device or am I bricked for good?

Thanks!

Hello, i installed the wrong blu spak kernel and now im stuck on : QUALCOMM Crashdump Mode

When i plug the phone on my computer it is recognized as : QUALCOMM HS-USB Diagnostics 900E

I deleted the driver, reboot in test mode, plug the phone and try to force to install the driver but i have the same thing : QUALCOMM HS-USB Diagnostics 900E

I dont know what to do, maybe i miss a step?

Thank you
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] pjadec:
"You need to search more this forum, then read before you doing something fatal to your phone"

Found and loaned from this forum

FOR QUALCOMM diagnostic 900E

The phone screen still opens, with the one plus logo, followed by the warning because the phone boot loader is unlocked and then the crash dump mode follows and it's pretty much all. (at this exact moment, I can still see the usb in my device manager, as QUALCOMM diagnostic 900E. Pressing up and power completly shut off the phone and at this point it's a blank screen and it's not recognized by the computer.

Do this and use MSMdownload tool

So you need to Power of your phone. Power and Volume Up should do the Trick. Once screen is black, press and hold BOTH VOLUME BUTTONS and plug phone into PC. Then Run MSMDownloadTool
