I got the red device corrupt message and I can't make this tool work, let alone be read by different PCs or Laptop :/ Already tried the windows update to install the drive and the manual method from OP

EDIT: Tried the cable that game with an S9, read as the device name from OP, currently running the tool now
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jerrywmilton:
Usually the step they leave off is to hold your power button pushed in for at least 30 seconds. Heck make it a minute. The phone will try to boot over and over...then let up when in between boots...and now the phone will be in official recovery mood and recognized following the listed steps.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] david72262:
Pushing just the power button doesn't do anything on 6t takes power and the volume up button to force a reboot.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It is always advisable to setup msmtool, fastboot images, adb, download full ota zips, taking efs backup before modifying anything on your phone so if anything happens phone can be recovered easily. It a lot difficult to setup everything when u have a bricked device.

Guys i want to flash OxygenOS on my 6t chinese variant(it has HydrogenOS). mybootloader is already locked, could i try this method with locked bootloader?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
Can't write to partitions with locked bootloader, you'll need to unlock
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] HackerGames197:
Could you help me in this procedure. I need oxygenOS but I'm afraid of failure...

---------- Post added at 12:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

I saw you went from Hydrogen to Oxygen. Did you success in it? Could you help me in this procedure ? Do you have telegram or something? Some people told me to use this tool in order to flash Oxygen because I can't do it from updater or recovery. Pls write me I lf you can do it.

[MENTION=5467580]iaTa[/MENTION] saved my bacon yesterday, much appreciation for the msm tool. Do they ever update the firehose file?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] allanlopesprado:
Hello, I did all the procedure as informed, but after starting Android, it is only on the boot screen, white and red balls, after this is not started, it is over 40 minutes and android does not start

What am I doing wrong ?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Was it successful first time? Did it showed download complete?

Try again and this time don't disconnect your phone from computer until it has completely booted.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] allanlopesprado:
Yes, they all came to the end and completed, but I'm stuck on boot in all of them

after the procedure, how long does it take android to start?

the worst of everything that was just taken out of the box is new :(:(:(
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Takes 2-3 minutes max to boot, i think its a driver issue.

How did u install the drivers?

---------- Post added at 05:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 AM ----------

Was your bootloader unlocked?

This tool probably wont work on locked bootloader.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jerrywmilton:
This tool could care less if the bootloader is locked. That is the WHOLE POINT ... it fixes ALL bricks by communicating directly with the Qualcomm.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Thanks for clarifying:svetius:
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] allanlopesprado:
At first I had the bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed, but the folders were cryptographed, I formated the partition in the TWRP option where I inserted the word * yes *, to confirm the formating, after this I tried to install Android again, but I did not succeed .

After this I found this tutorial, and I performed all the procedures as described, but the bootloader is now blocked.

Qualcomm drivers were automatically installed by Windows 10, only Drive OnePlus was installed manually.

The driver signing imposition has been disabled when starting Windows.

I already tried using

6T_MsmDownloadTool_v4.0.58_OOS_v9.0.5

6T_MsmDownloadTool_v4.0.58_HOS_v9.0.4

But both have the same problem, and now I do not know how to solve this, because Android can not start normally.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Try wiping everything from stock recovery.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] allanlopesprado:
is there any way to do this, some tutorial, because I am learning now, with the mistakes made, I would be very grateful for the help
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rhaegar93:
I have 9.0.7 OOS on my 6T, this tool will work on this rom?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
This tool is for unbricking devices in Qualcomm USB mode etc as long as your bootloader is unlocked it'll work.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] null0seven:
The tool get you back to 9.0.5. You can, immediate update to 9.0.7.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rhaegar93:
Ok thanks, i was thinking was a anti roll-back
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] allanlopesprado:
I have already used the tool, and I could not make my android connect again, it is only loading, I also have the bootloader blocked and incredible it seems the phone is not listed in adb devices, but it is listed in fastboot devices.

I do not know what else to do, someone could point me to a way forward, thank you all for the help!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Did u tried wiping everything from stock recovery?

Turn your phone off.

Press volume down and power together.

U will enter into recovery mode.

Select English language

Select advanced

Select wipe everything.

Reboot.

PS - if u cant turn off your phone, try pressing Power button for 10 secs it will turn off your phone.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] iaTa:
Stop saying you need an unlocked bootloader. You do not need an unlocked bootloader for this process.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] allanlopesprado:
I've just finished the procedure, but I'm still in error, something else I can do?

1 - Select English language

2 - Wipe data and cache

3 - Reset system setting

4 - Wipe cache

5- Erase everything(music, pics, tec)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
Doesn't say anywhere in the OP it works with it locked and we all know the purpose of locked bootloader is to stop writing to partitions.. But if you've confirmed it working I won't say it
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] iaTa:
If it needed to be unlocked and you have a bricked device how would you use the tool?

Just common sense really.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I don't know man, contact OnePlus maybe.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
This is the "firehose" restore. It uses the actually qcom low level communications port to resend all the images, completely aside of whatever state the bootloader (or anything else really). If other phone manufacturers would release their low level tool (cough cough essential)... We could fix all of our own problems
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
I stand corrected then thanks for the info :good:
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Is there a specific reason other companies don't release such tools?

Wouldn't there work be easier if people can fix their phones on their own?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
It's free money from idiots like me :silly:

Essential charges 200 a pop, and you don't get "your" phone back.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] allanlopesprado:
They opened a ticket for me, waiting for support contact
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I hope it gets fixed.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] david72262:
If they do a remote secession for you capture the new msmtool the one they use is newer. During your secession copy the unziped file from another computer on your network. They delete it as soon as they are done so copy it before they are done.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] allanlopesprado:
I suppose, they use msmtool and also updated drivers, the post drivers are version 2.1.0.5, and do not work correctly, only version 2.1.2.2.

Not Work (Disconnects during the process - Param Error)

Unfortunately this did not solve my problem, after the procedure the device restarts, and it is locked in the screen of the initialization of Android, already I am to 2 hours and I continue in the same screen.

[IMG=" Sample Image"]https://i.imgur.com/woV1n3A.jpg[/IMG]

I have to wait for the technical support resolver, otherwise have a paper weight in hand
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
That is not 6t, is it your device?

Also why is sha256 check disabled?

It is enabled for me by default.

Try enabling it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] allanlopesprado:
sample image only, is disabled, already trying different ways, but I did not succeed!

Still, I still have the same problem!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Also try to copy new tool if possible from OnePlus before they delete it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Taebom:
Watch this vid and follow his steps. Disregard the tool versions as his is for the 6,but procedures are the same. Just use the tools from here and follow his guide.

in the above prints you can see that I'm doing the right way, I do not know why it does not work for me, I do the process as described on the first page of the post, everything works fine, just the android that does not start, I'm afraid to be something that can not be resolved with remote support
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] david72262:
Don't worry the remote secession will work, I went through it this tool doesn't work for me either and it didn't work for the first remote secession I had either, a few hours later after my first secession they had me download an updated msmtool that worked. Please try and copy the file after they unzip it before they delete it. You can copy it from another computer on your network.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] allanlopesprado:
do root, have used a tool before, void the warranty?

If they ask what I did, should I avoid talking about some technical procedure?

I'll copy the mstool!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] david72262:
I wouldn't give him any more information than you have to I wouldn't even mention root they won't be able to tell anyway they will just want your phone off and then put into download mode
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jerrywmilton:

You must hold vol. Up without the cable. Then plug the cable.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:

im trying to do it on my mclaren 6t and its not working...noob question does it matter if its oem locked or unlocked? the tool just keeps completing the process then it starts over again. not sure what im doing wrong.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
This is why we need the new version of the tool, this version most likely won’t fully work with the new device model, despite sharing the same firmware, most likely due to that device coming with .9 and higher firmware, this tool only has .5
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hondasforlife:
Yeah so now I have a paper weight :(
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Go to the dev section, download the mclaren rom and flash it via fastboot
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hondasforlife:
I can't get out of MSM mode now..well idk how to :(
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Hold volume up and power for about 30 seconds to a minute, should reboot.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] null0seven:
Remove cable.

Power off the phone.

Hold vol.+ for 5 seconds, then plug the cable.

This does not work on 6T?

I contracted OnePlus support about McLaren Edition firmware. They said that they don't have it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
I wouldn’t ask directly for the tool, I’d say I need my device restored or it’s stuck on the bootloader and you need to restore the firmware but don’t know how to...

Then to save the file, most people just disconnect the internet after they unzip the file.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] moony700:
They suggested me to take it to a service center to get it fixed. More insulting is the same service center they redirected me to , refused to receive my phone because i didn't buy it from Souq.com

Tell them this, maybe if you’re persistent they’ll let you remote restore with a l2 tech.

I have a OP6T McLaren as well that is not powering on and showing up as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008". I called in to support and was informed that remote assistance device restore is not currently available for the OP6T McLaren. YMMV.

I can also comment that "MsmDownloadTool v4.0.58 and OOS v9.0.5" gave me an error message with my 6T McLaren. It did not work for me. It would start, but failed quickly. I did not record the error message as i've already returned my McLaren.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] david72262:
I do have a newer msmtool the one in this thread would not work on my phone for some reason. So I went through a remote session with OnePlus and their original tool would not work either so they repackaged it and did a remote session the next day and this one worked. The files in this one are two weeks newer. See screenshot. Will provide link to op so he can download add it to op. No sense making a new thread let's just keep this one updated. link https://drive.google.com/open?id=1BGnO8y3h0dKoeD9Fq7aQAocWJmswgK-E this installs oos 9.0.6

Could you pm me the link too, while op is updating the post? I've currently got a problem too where my international OP6T won't continue past the boot animation anymore. The tool in the current version didn't work, so maybe this one will (I hope... really don't want to send it back :/ )

I don't have a McLaren edition, but thought I'd chime in here to agree. Yeah I really think there should be an MSM Download tool for the McLaren variant! Or even. A download link to the flashable OTAs and full install zips on OnePlus's website, they don't even have that! It's odd that they wouldn't support a special edition as much as the original.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] WyldOne91:
I have a story.

It all started with trying to update to the 9.0.11 release. I installed through TWRP, had some issues with Verizon and not being able to call or text and signal would go in and out. So I installed it as a local upgrade through the Settings in the phone as well and ran a factory reset. Same issue. So after that, I went to grab myself the fastboot files to flash the update to make sure the issue wasn't a corrupted update file or anything of that nature. When I did so, I got a failure when flashing when it got to the vendor.img to flash to vendor_a (this will be called back to in a moment). I read some comments in the thread, someone mentioned that you cannot downgrade using the fastboot files. I figured that even though this was the same build, maybe I needed a newer build. So, I fastbooted the most recent open beta. And, I got the same failure at the same spot, vendor_a. In addition to this, the phone will not boot. Says it is corrupt. So I post over there all of this so far, and I am pointed here. The program that sounds like it's going to save my life.

So that brings me to my current state. I was able to get the connection to my computer correct [shows Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (COM7)] and then I ran this MSM tool. Everything is looking smooth and then it seems to hang for a bit. I widen the columns to see what it's doing exactly and, oh, would you look at that. Downloading vendor.img to vendor_a. After a full 447 seconds, it times out and says "Downloading vendor.img failed." So, trying to be optimistic, I try a few more times. Same issue every time.

So how screwed am I? A solid 10 out of 10? Do I have any other options from here or am I pretty stuck with a moderately pricey paper weight?

TL;DR - vendor_a seems to be broke yo. Any way I can fix it from here?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Msm can fix anything software asaik, did u try both msmtool? 9.0.5 and 9.0.6?

I'm afraid I've messed up totally. After I've shut down the phone and pressed vol up/down together and connected the phone to the PC, the fastboot screen appeared and I pressed the power button:rolleyes:. After that the phone seemed dead.:crying:

I'm running oneplus 6T (no T-mob or McLaren).

Upon connecting to the PC I hear the windows ping from the PC indicating connection and in the MSMtools it gives com4 being connnected. It started download firehose binary, followed by Sahara Communication failed after 16sec.

please tell me there is a way out.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Dont worry, its just a driver issue, follow the steps

Connect ur phone

Go to device manager and click on view tab and enable hidden device

Find Qualcomm or QSBULK

Uninstall it and Remove all driver files

Download drivers from page 17 of this thread

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hUmBW9vm0PqbElhKnqQs2CwHVV_Zmi6e/view?usp=drivesdk ( i had them in my drive )

Install them ( it is exe file, just click next everytime )

Important - reboot pc

Connect device again

If u have same error, then

Go to device manager

Right click on Qualcomm

Select update drivers from menu

Let windows download and install

Important - reboot pc

Connect again

Another question - was ur bootloader unlocked?

I always had issue installing drivers on locked bootloader and its always easy to install drivers once bootloader is unlocked.

If nothing works and if fastboot is accessible, unlock the bootloader and repeat the entire process.
