Hello, as far as my knowledge goes unticking this box will result in your device not rebooting automatically to OxygenOS after flash is performed: you will have to turn it on manually by using power button.

Also as a sidenote please don't send the same question in my DMs, this won't result in me answering faster.

Will this tool eventually support Android 11. Would save a lot of time.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
It should work just fine if your device is currently on Android 11 and you want to downgrade to Android 10.

Remember this is made by OnePlus, not by me. If I find newer versions I will upload them, just mind that generally they become available after an update is no longer in staged rollout phase.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xgerryx:
Why is it when I release the volume buttons after I connect it to the PC that the phone reboots and it's not detected by the MSM tool? The device reads correctly in device manager until that happens. I am in crashdump mode and could really use some help here. Edit: I do have access to fastboot, somehow I got out of crashdump mode. but when I reboot it's back in it.

I have tried releasing the buttons at all different times, hitting start beforehand, nothing works. Is it possible the COM port isn't finding the corresponding port in the system? MSM tool is showing COM3 and COM6, looks like in device manager it's COM7?

Edit: MSM tool is now showing COM7 as one of the lines but still not detecting it when it gets connected.

never got the MSM tool to work but I ended up flashing all of the img files manually in fastboot and got back into the OS
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xxxl206:
i cannot enter the MsM Tool. Everytime when i press next at the login screen. the application crashes. antivirus is deactivted.

has somebody a solution? thx
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Sounds like your boot img, Are you able to get to fastboot.. Just reflash the stock boot img.

If not then try to get to EDL before you connect the cable.

Should work then
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xgerryx:
Nothing ended up working. IMO the EDL thing isn't even real, since I've had 2 OP phones that had needed to use it and neither worked. I tried for literally hours, fighting with the crashdump error to get it to work, never did. My screen is totally broken though...the phone is going back for a second time, and I am quite pissed, and this will prob be my last OP phone. I have a thread in QA if you want to see pictures. Went totally haywire, from green crackles to the absolute mess in that thread, and now the screen doesn't turn on at all, in any menu.

And to be clear, it was never dropped, abused, exposed to water, nothing.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
That sounds nuts.

So you've sent this phone back before? Was it the same phone that came back? Chances are they used the MSM tool to fix it if so.

EDL mode is FYI very real. A multitude of users have used it, personally I think it's overused.

I've a few guides which I made as I was doing each process I know that they work if you're still wanting to root etc.

I'll have a look for your thread,, crackling and green anomalies on screen does indeed sound like a hardware fault.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xgerryx:
Lol, I was joking about it not being real but I don't consider myself a stupid person and I couldn't get it to be recognized by the software. I'm sure I missed something but I combed every post I could find and I know it can be finicky to get connected.

The previous warranty claim was for random burn in that some handsets had, and they did replace it, but with a REFURBISHED phone, it was not new when they sent it back. No sticker on the back, some sand marks around where someone had a case on it.

The issue on this one started after I updated to Android 11, and after those pics I posted in the other thread, the screen no longer functions AT ALL. I can get into the OS, as evidence by getting into internal storage and an attempt at ADB on PC, and I can get in fastboot but nothing on the screen at all. It was also overheating like CRAZY after I got the OS up again today, it felt like it melted itself. Not even joking, like rapid deterioration of colors and extreme heat.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Haha nah I know pal, have replied in your thread btw
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] areyouanand:
Same here, except screen is not broken, touch doesn't work anymore (only able to test inside stock recovery as the device doesn't boot.).
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nicolas7bgr:
No it just starts directly the device without rebooting it , so my question is does this affect somehow the NAND or the device because if you untick the box it starts directly the device without rebooting it very strange
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
That's interesting, I didn't know it does that on newer devices. I have no idea if it affects NAND or device itself.

I don't know why that happens, have you checked if MD5 of the downloaded archive is the same as the one present on AFH?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Whilst in that mode do fastboot flash commands work?

Have you tried holding power and Vol up for 8 seconds? Try with and without the cable connected.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nikolay777:
Diffrence

Hello when I flash my oneplus 8 pro under windows 7 with the qualcomm driver installed from the setup driver app the flashing downloading completes for 170 seconds but under windows 10 where the driver gets installed automatically from windows update the flashing downloading takes 250-260 seconds why is it like that in both scenarios I use usb 2.0 port on my PC.

Did I mess up somehow my device or it's partitions with the downloading under windows 7 because I read that it usually takes 250 300 seconds and if I don't takes 200-300 seconds that means that the downloading flashing under windows 7 missed some part of the device.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Or is more efficient under 7

So long as it works out doesn't matter
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nikolay777:
No because the speed is not faster I just tested it , that means that the tool with the windows 7 driver skips some partitions when flashing downloading
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
I don't believe it skips partitions, since your device would normally complain about that on locked bootloader and would not boot to Android.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
No, there are some checks to prevent crossflash by EDL. Also I'm confused why you asked here in 8 Pro forum, since only "normal" 8 has a carrier variant.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
It's not for me mate, chap in my thread was saying he couldn't update, he has a US variant, apparently they release their own firmwares tweaked for their network. I was thinking there may be a way to get his phone to accept a global ROM or even EU.

I have a UK 8 pro. I was just asking for him

By all accounts he has an 8 pro.

I tried to root my 8 Pro on the current Android 11 and I landed in crash dump mode. Do you have a version for 11?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
No, also you should be able to use A10 MSMs tools without any issue should you ever need it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] pbman1953:
In the end I got it to work and it worked flawlessly!

Based on what happened to me and maybe others, I'd add a tweak your instructions.

After saying to power down I'd say this-

"Hold both volumes in for, EDL mode and the screen will be stay black. While holding, plug in the computer cable. Let volumes go alter plugged in"

My reason is that while holding both buttons I was expecting a screen message, from the hold. Another forum member advised me that the screen would be black. But after I realized not to wait for an EDL message I was fine.

Overall thank god for this program. I thought I was a goner. Sadly the whole breakdown has turned me off to root. The crash happened on the very last step.

Thanks again

Good point, I will edit accordingly to make it more clear
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] 7uck123:
I just wanted to say thank you so much, I was foolishly attempting to root my OP8Pro and bricked it in the process. I should have read that you cannot flash twrp but only as boot.

Thank you so much! I love you! May you be forever blessed in life.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kwikmaffs:
This!!! A million times this!. I have been here struggling for 3 hours... and now I AM out of the woods... Please anyone with the problem of not being able to get into EDL mode (even if Device Manager shows your qualcomm device when you connect the solutions is as stated above I.E. wipe the drivers and reinstall them. I would add, ensure when uninstalling device driver, to click the check box that says delete device driver.

1. Ensure you phone is unplugged.

2. Go to device manager in windows

3. Go to View, then "Show Hidden Devices"

4. Navigate to Ports and find all qualcomm devices

5. Remove the device driving and make sure to delete the device by ticking the checkbox that says to delete- VEry important

6. Install new qualcomm driver. I found a good one here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/5wc5nk5adevatrj/QDLoader_HS-USB_Driver_64bit_Setup.exe/file

7. Re-start the PC

8. Do not plug in the phone yet

9. Switch off the phone. If on a bootloop, volume up and power and release quickly when phone screen goes off to ensure it doesn't reboot

10. Start the MSM tool and follow the instructions of this thread

11. Press volume + volume- together - i found it easier to hold the phone with my body against edge of a table so that the next step I have a free hand

12. Insert the phone cable to the phone while still holding the volume keys together... be quick about this.

13. the com in the MsM tool should now read "connected"

14. Let go of the volume keys

15. Immediately hit start

Leave phone to download and install until complete.

GOOD LUCK

Oneplus 8 stuck

My oneplus 8 says your device is corrupted and cannot be trusted and will not boot, I have tried MSM, my bootloader is locked so i cannot unlock please help me.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] djmcnz:
OP refers to MSM tool but doesn't provide a link. Most of the references to MSM tool I find are explicitly for models and OS other than OP8+OOS11.

What is the link to the official tool? It needs to be added to the OP.

Edit: MSM is in the binary zip, this needs to be made clear in the OP.

I only have fastboot and some other option that has no visible UI but does give me a "Power Off" and "Reboot" option, that UI doesn't provide ADB. I'm on OOS11 so no custom recovery. Factory recovery results no usable OS, just this 'invisible' UI (blank screen, no ADB). The invisible UI reboots itself some time (~120 seconds) after loading.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kkooly:
My device is the IN2025 version. I was able to unbrick my phone (from the Qualcomm Crashdump error) using your instructions and downloading the OOS 10.5.12 firmware.

Super grateful for your help however I am running into a strange issue now where my mobile service drops a few minutes after a fresh boot or after reinserting the sim card. Prior to me bricking my phone I was not having service issues so I am inclined to think I messed something up software-wise. WiFi connectivity consistently works as it previously did but LTE stops after a few minutes whether or not WiFi is on.

Any ideas on what I might have done? Or what I can do to fix it. I tried searching different forums for this device but I am not finding anyone with the same issue. Or I am not using the correct search terms.

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

I think I resolved my issue by updating to Android 11 again. That was what I was running before I bricked (trending like everyone else). The update must do something to the radio to cause it to not work reliably with older firmware? I have no idea what I'm talking about though. That's just a guess.

Phone won't stay in EDL Mode

Looking for an assist on this one. Been dealing with a lot with this phone but finally to a point where I can proceed with this process but now I can't get my phone to stay in EDL Mode.

Holding Vol +/- while plugging in the phone immediately boots to Fastboot.

I can get into EDL via ADB or using the ADB shortcut via the All In One Tool and the MSM tool shows connected but then, after ~10 seconds, the phone reboots itself back into Android.

I've tried the steps others have mentioned/outlined but none of them are working to keep the phone in EDL Mode. Seems a bit strange.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] djmcnz:
As a matter of interest, how do you get to EDL mode from ADB? Edit: duh, adb reboot edl lol

As for your reboot, you need to select ENUM and then your com port in MSM really quickly for it to prevent the reboot.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] lauchiebeans:
You have to click enum and begin the process, its normal for the device to reboot if the process has not commenced.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] PassingInTime:
Well hot damn, there it is. I had everything else set, even had the line selected to begin, but was afraid to start for fear it would still reboot after 10 seconds and super wreck the phone. Haha.

Do you happen to know if this affects both slots (A & B), or just the one currently selected when you start the process?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] lauchiebeans:
Actually not quite sure I believe it simply flashes on the current slot, to keep the seamless update functionality but could be wrong.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] PassingInTime:
I think I have my answer now. I was on slot b manually due to slot a becoming stupid corrupted and now I'm on slot a and slot b basically doesn't exist - doesn't even try to boot after setting it to active in Fastboot - so flashing via EDL appears to deep factory reset the firmware and Fastboot settings.

I'm glad I have a, seemingly, full recovery process set now.

Thanks for the assist!

IN2025 was XDA and Android Central review units.

Do mind that bands are differents across devices therefore I would recommend you to get an IN2025.

Hi,

My european Oneplus 8 is bricked and there is a message telling: device is corrupt and can not be trusted, the device will not boot.

not i was happy to see there is a unbrick tool but get stuck at "firehose comnication handshake failed".

i did exactly what you tell in your discription.

i tried all my usb ports also.

a few moments after i click start i hear a "usb disconnect" sound and after some seconds i get the error.

My laptop is running windows 10 so i disabled driver signature, and installed qualcomm drivers.

in my devices there is a device called qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 (com4)

so this should be right.

any help would be appreciated.
