[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RANJITH THRISSUR:
I had a strange experience.

I'm having a dell xps 15 windows 10 laptop , downloaded the msm tool bundle and L2 drivers in it. Installed L2 drivers. Then took my phone to EDL mode. Connected cable after 5 seconds.. then I checked device manager. It shows Qualcomm QD 9008....Etc. but.. within 10 seconds, it disappeared, more like cable was disconnected and connected again. Device manager list was refreshed.. and now I couldn't find Qualcomm drivers.

Where is the issue??

In fact, next day, i tried the same with an old windows 7 desktop. Surprisingly, it worked! I was able to see Qualcomm in device manager, managed to run msm tool also.

But, i need it to work in my laptop. Please help.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
It will automatically reboot the device in Windows 10 if you don't start the flash. You can actually hit Start in the tool, then reboot your device into EDL. The flash will start as soon as the device is loaded into EDL.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RANJITH THRISSUR:
Why it happens like that in Windows 10 ? For old desktop with Windows 7, there is no such issue!! ?

Yeah, that's cause the tool is mean't for a different model of the OnePlus 7 Pro. Wait till a patched version of the tool is released and then it should work :)

[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] djhotsauce:
That's probably because you have an unlocked bootloader right?! Only one version of the phone has a locked bootloader that I know of which is T-Mobile GM1915 (The One I Have) which is why I'm patiently waiting for a patched MSMTool.

All the phone has the Same Hardware. That's why you did it with no problem & didn't brick. genius.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] samusishere:
I as well would be happy to participate in a patched msm tool bounty! Our devices are great, but root without the ungodly amount of restrictions that T-Mobile placed on our ROMs would be better ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bp328i:
You do realize it says intended for? The 9.5.5 is the version intended for the EU region because of European Union laws and changes Google were required to do. It's actually quite common for the EU region to receive different build numbers from phone manufacturers.

9.5.5 can be flashed on other models than the GM1913
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric214:
Jesus what is wrong with people. If you read what your supposed to read in all the threads pertaining to rooting and recovering your phone you will have read that the firmware's are DIFFERENT. They are the same BUT in the EU they have a law that states they have to do something different which is why it has a different build tag. If you use the wrong Magisk patched boot image you will screw the phone up. When there are updates, they will get the same things but the firmware is FOR THE SPECIFIC MODEL PHONE. The T-Mobile model IS A FREAKING CARRIER PHONE, is this your FIRST smartphone? We all know carriers make different changes to the firmware which is WHY YOU NEED TO CONVERT IT TO A NEW FIRMWARE! If you don't use the correct files/firmware/tools, you will BORK your phone. If whatever you download isn't for your model number and you use it... you get what you deserve.

What lessons? I didn't own the 6T or 5 or 4, 3 or lastly 2. Seems like they made it possible to convert the tmo 6T to international, so again what was the lesson I missed?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] se7ensde:
The downfalls of carrier phones. And just cause you didn't own a 6T that doesn't mean you didn't hear about or read it somewhere on the internet.

The only downfalls I have found with carrier phones are, updates and bloatware 1 of which can be fixed with a package disable app. So back to the forum we are on, converting a carrier branded OP device to an international one has what carrier downfalls?

Yes he says the word "intended" then points the oos versions to specific models that he says those versions are intended for. You're confusing optional and intended to very different things. Try actually reading the post
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] djhotsauce:
Personally I don't mind waiting to root my phone. I did it with the 6T got it Sim unlocked in a day of me getting it & waited 7 days for the token.

This 7 Pro have got it Sim unlocked within an hour of me getting it. Now I'm either waiting on the token or the Patched/Cracked MSMTool.

just got off the chat with OP and they confirmed it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
No idea. Might be related to the driver or USB protocol differences. Those are just guesses though.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] UpgraddeAnDroid:
bro, i 've had the oem unlock on 4 different ones the first day from t-mobile. Download the the stock Oneplus apks from apk mirror. mainly the settings, storage etc. I personally go everyone i could. Get a package disabler app and disable all tmobile apps (search the back end for for "tmo" etc in the package names. Get a tool like tool all in one or Jurassic and hit with the stock apks repeatedly and factory reset , repeatedly and factory reset. after the third or forth time the OEM unlock opens up. submit to https://oneplus.com /unlock_token. Here's what my dashboard looks like https://twitter.com/Othershawnlong/status/1294441964545495040 They'll for sure take a week, if you bug them, longer. Once you get your boot loader unlocked , hit up t-mobile for a temp sim unlock , say you're going over seas to a country not in their coverage. The moment they do, hit with the international var. You know have 1917 (metaphorically speaking )Only issue i ever had was running Google fi on both sims , it couldn't handle the same imei on both. Every single other carrier ATT, VZW, and TMO including NMVOs never batted an eye. You can even take finger nail clippers and mod the sim tray until you get your real dual sim tray. ( I swear Oneplus did that on purpose, if you know anything about injection molding, it cost more to manufacture with grooves. I know this old, but just hoping this might help someone. I got the 5G from sprint first day, the imei wouldnt even register with Oneplus it was so new. It kicked my ass royal, never got an inch on that one

[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
The hardware is the same! You could technically flash it to the T-Mobile firmware if you wanted, but the only difference between the OnePlus 7 Pro's, is the firmware, with the exception of the Sprint 5G and EE 5G model, which contain a 5G modem.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] linx1287:
I have made huge mistake and i dont know what to do and would really appreciate some help. I was on Open Beta 17 with magisk and twrp and i decided i wanted to revert the stock using msmtool. I have used it before so i know about all the drivers to install and how to get to edl and so on. So i started the msm software and hit start, but a few seconds into the flash i got the an error "firehosewritedata failed" and since then my device cant be recognised by my computer and its not booting up or even showing that its charging. I tried reinstalling the drivers and trying msmtool but the device isnt recognised at all.

Booting into fastboot only says Update download failed please check your download flow is right

Hey Guys,

I have heard of folks experiencing this issue with the OnePlus 3. They were successful in getting around it by using another computer. I recommend if you have another PC laying around, attempt the MSM Tool using it.

Hope this helps!

Hello friends,

I have three questions regarding this tool. Is there a difference between updating via the update directly from the phone (via the oneplus update utility) and between updating with this tool?

And also does this tool work with a locked bootloader?

And finally does using this tool erase all data from the phone?

Thank you for your answers.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
This tool isn't for updating your device. It is to change the firmware the device is running. You do not need to have an unlocked bootloader to use this tool and after flashing, the bootloader is still locked. This tool will completely wipe the device to the point where you will need to setup the device again after flashing.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] isman77:
Thank you my friend. I would like to make a complete backup with the bootloader locked but I don't think it's possible :/

I converted my t-mobile op 7 pro but now i can't sim unlock it, t-mobile has no idea how to do it, does anyone know? I AM eligible for a sim unlock. so i'm not trying to play t-mobile or anything. I just want my sim unlocked so i can change carriers since t-mobile sucks. They had me go to Settings> WiFi & Internet> SIM & Network> Advanced, but I don't have an Advanced option in that menu, so they and I am stumped. Any help would be greatly, hugely appreciated.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Pvt WhoOkid:
How did you go about it? The SIM unlock. Prior I would call and if the rep didn't know. I'd ask to speak to someone who had more knowledge and boom! In person often they don't know. They just want you out of the store.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BranBro365:
I chatted with them over chat. The rep gave me two options he said I should have the T-Mobile device unlock app which sim unlocks it, but that got deleted when I converted it and I guess it's not an app you can download from the play store. After telling him I didn't have the app, that is when he asked me to go to the Wi-Fi & Internet settings. After I told him I didn't have an Advanced option he had no idea what to do. He said he spoke with a higher up and they said I would have to do a factory reset, but I don't think he understood what I did to the phone since a factory reset will not change the firmware back to the T-Mobile firmware. What did they have you do? Maybe I'll be able to do it with mine. If not then I'll give them a call today after work and see if I can talk to someone who knows more then the person I chatted with. I tried googling how to get to the sim unlock option on the international version but all that came up was a bunch of websites that charged to sim unlock a phone for you, which is not what I need.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
You can only unlock the T-Mobile variant when on the T-Mobile firmware. Restore the T-Mobile firmware, make sure your WiFi is on during the setup, and sign in to your Google account during the setup to ensure the Unlock App is on your device once the setup is complete.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BranBro365:
Just did it. and it worked, my phone is now sim unlocked, now I'm gonna reconvert it back to the international version, that's not gonna remove the sim unlock will it? Or to be safe should I just wait until I switch over to at&t on Friday.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Flashing does not alter the SIM lock/unlock state. Just make sure you did a permanent unlock. Temporary isn't good enough.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BranBro365:

Running into this issue.

OnePlus 7 Pro would boot into "QUALCOMM CrashDump Mode" with no other information.

Used llabros's recommended software in his post since I have the T-Mobile version.

Followed OP's instructions with:

1. Charged the phone using original cable and 30W charger

2. Opened the L2 Drivers folder > 64-bit folder > Opened .cat file > View Signature > View Certificate > Install Certificate > *Followed Certificate Import Wizard*

3. Device turned off

4. Used original cable to plug into PC (USB-A) only

5. OnePlus 7 Pro turned OFF

6. Held down Volume UP and DOWN for 5 seconds while plugging USB-C into OnePlus 7 Pro

From here nothing showed up in the MSM tool and did not see "Qualcomm QD loader" in Device Manager, along with a blank screen.

Repeated Step 6 a dozen times and it was not recognized by MSM and Device Manager

Tried starting the phone using holding Volume UP and Power button and nothing is showing now.

The phone does not boot up anymore into "QUALCOMM CrashDump Mode" with no other information.

I'm suspecting since its not booting up into "QUALCOMM CrashDump Mode" its either completely bricked or the battery is dead. o_O

Please help!

Thanks!

**UPDATE**

Charged it over night, and holding Volume UP and Power button and its not booting into "QUALCOMM CrashDump Mode" anymore...😫

Guys, I need help.

I did exactly what I gotta do: VOL + and - for 5 seconds, I saw that laptop is downloading and setting up the drivers for the device. but after that, I still can see the exclamation mark in the device manager. Additionally, in the settings besides the device, it says "driver unavailable". I clicked the device in device manager as well, but it also says - no driver installed and I cannot add one.

I tried 3 laptops with both windows 10 and 11, tried all USB ports on all of the laptops. I installed Oneplus drivers and L2 drivers as well. Still no dice.

I know I "hold it wrong". I'm using the original red cable (even tho - any cable will dork). I know that was working before I installed windows 11 on my laptop recently (I'm flash-o-holic) and there was no problem whatsoever.

Can some1 point me in the right direction?

Update:

INstalled Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Drivers manually (https://www.thecustomdroid.com/qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-drivers/). Still nothing.

What I'm doing wrong?

Update 2.

Installed drivers in test mode. While staying there, started the MSM tool and voila - it says "connected". But the moment I clicked "Start" the MSM tool said "Sahara Communication Failed."

What's that? And how I can fix that to finally flash my phone?

Update 3.

Removed the drivers installed automatically and install drivers manually. Now the phone connects to the MSM tool, passes Sahara thing. But now I'm stuck on param preload.

Update 4.

How I can get out of Crash Dump Mode? I tried to flash the stock ROM hoping it will fix the story, but not really.

I tried everything I can come up with as well as googling things. No luck.
