You beautiful, beautiful (wo)man! Worked like a charm!

Now, I have two short questions.

1. I worked only in system part B when I f'cked it all up. Is my partition B now fixed? Can I consider it "healthy"?

2. What exactly did I do by running this .bat?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] TuneyJ:
You're Welcome. Took me 2 hours to figure this out.

I am not too familiar with the partitions but when you run the flash-all.bat it flashes all the stock img's and it should flash it to both slots (you can see the logs on cmd). if you want to be sure you can change slots using cmd and flash-all.bat again just to make sure. The bat file is a command that flashes all needed imgs in succession without needing to type each command.

I hope this helps.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] poremetej:
thanks for the explanation. so this is basically a different msm method?

in any case, phone's back in life, but I still didn't make any progress in rooting it. bootloader unlocked, stock oxygen 11, but now i'm too afraid to meddle with image files. I can't patch through magisk since I need to run their .zip file through recovery.

god I miss twrp.

I know I'm supposed to get an image file done through fastboot but after the drama last night where I bricked it I'm just too afraid to test anymore lol.

How to fix fastbootd in slot B?

Still trying to understand these A/B slots.

The MSM Download Tool -- is it slot-specific? It seems to recover the A slot and the B slot is still not bootable (Quallcomm crash dump).

What to do if a ROM author says "start with the latest OOS in both slots" (Carbon ROM)?

Fastbootd is not loading on slot B -- I mean "fastboot reboot fastboot" on slot B results in Quallcomm crash dump, even after MSM Tool.

new OxygenOS 11.0.1.1 stable update for op8 series
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] gaww:
There was a mistake where this was sent to beta3 users, and by using it, it wiped data. OnePlus jerks who did it came up with a fix to avoid wiping data. It's an app that had to be run before you restart the update.

This may open up an opportunity to move over to stable - if the app would work on other os-s. It looked like only EU , as global devices didn't get the update.

Anyone want to try it ?

QCN File for Oneplus 8 pro

Hey guys!

I restored my oneplus 8 pro with Msm download tool but not with update I did it in SMT mode

Then I realized that I lost imei of the device.

Can some one give a guide how I can restore it by myself.

Maybe someone has QCN file for oneplus 8 pro? I cant find it anywhere.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Talhakem:
hi,

i am trying to use this tool .

i have manage to enter the Qualcomm EDL mode-> installed the drivers -> all looks good at the device manager.

but still the msm tool cant connect my phone..

what to do??
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cromatn5:
In this way: turn OFF the phone, plug USB, start the process in MSM tools, turn ON by pressing all butons, release buttons when procedure starts.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] State.of.mind:
When you use this tool what firmware does it default to? Can this be used to rollback to a specific firmware? If so, how?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] FreshlyBaked 420:
Yes it can be used to roll back to a specific firmware. Try taking a look at the OP for your exact device and looking to see what's available. There's versions for A10 and A11. All instructions are also in the OP.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] State.of.mind:
Thanks. I've read the original post but I'm still missing how the tool selects the firmware. From what I read the "upgrade" is done locally. I'm trying to figure out what the "default" firmware is that the tool uses.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] FreshlyBaked 420:
Each phone has there own firmware versions. You choose what version you want to roll back to. Open up the links in the OP and you select the tool for the firmware you want to return to.

i have the same thing did you fix it?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Abaddon:
What I do is flash MSM tool and install the current rom in settings-update-local upgrade and it should be flashed and you can noe boot into the second slot. Then do your thing.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Niranjan Bapat:
A11 doesn't support romming yet I guess. So to flash a rom u need to have OOS 10 on both the slots. To do this follow this procedure.

1. Flash OOS 10.5.12 using MSM Unbrick Tool. This will restore your Slot A.

2. Flash OOS 10.5.13 using the inbuilt LOCAL UPGRADE feature in System updates settings. This will restore you Slot B. (You can find the OTA zip in the XDA forum)

Once done, you can flash Carbon Rom without problems.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flapjack:
Hoping someone can help me.

I have the international version OP8P. I've kept out of trouble with it (running stock recovery and magisk since I got it). For the past week or so, I've been getting a system update prompt, but then the "installation error" when I try to install, presumably because I'm on A11 now (I had no problems taking OTAs on A10... I just remembered to flash magisk to the inactive slot before I rebooted). I haven't been able to update, so I'd just been ignoring it as best as I could.

Today, I tried updating Magisk, as it also has been nagging me for a few days now. For some dumb reason, I picked the "Flash to inactive slot, after OTA", even though I didn't get the OTA to apply. ?*♂️ So now it just boots to the OP logo. I cannot detect fastboot, can't get it to boot, etc. I know what would fix it would be just flipping back to the other slot, but I don't know how to do that without fastboot.

Is there any way, or am I just screwed? From what I understand, if I use this tool, I lose everything on my phone (which I obviously don't want to do).

Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] djmcnz:
Try holding down pwr + vol_up + vol_dwn for ~10 seconds to see if you can get to a usable mode. It pays to plug it into your ADB/fastboot computer also to see if it recognises the device at any stage (audible or in device manager).

It's unlikely to be dead but your data is at risk I'm afraid.

If you can get into fastboot then check the slot you're using and boot from the other slot, it'll probably start straight up.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flapjack:
So... booting with vol_up+power or vol_down+power does the same thing... boots me to the logo with no response from any PC (I have two with drivers installed correctly). If I boot with vol_up+vol_down+power, it very clearly says "Fastboot mode" instead of the normal boot logo, but nothing is detected on either PC. "fastboot devices" returns nothing. If I try to run the set-active command I get < waiting for any device >.

If I plug in the USB cable while holding down vol_up+vol_down, I get the new hardware sound in Windows and a blank screen (assuming EDL mode).

So frustrated.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] djmcnz:
Hmm... okay, dealing with the two scenarios:

Second scenario first:

When you "plug in the USB cable while holding down vol_up+vol_down" what (new) shows up in Windows device manager when you hear the sound?

Also, boot in that mode, leave the phone for ~10 mins then press and hold the power button, do you get a power off/reboot prompt (showing over the blank screen)?

First scenario (fastboot)

Your most likely avenue. When the phone says 'Fastboot' what, if any device shows up in Windows device manager? Any unknown devices?

The good news is, if your phone thinks it is in fastboot mode, it 99.999% is in fastboot mode. Try reinstalling factboot driver when the screen say fastboot.

----

I feel your frustration, been there, done that. FWIW I recovered without losing my data... the non-active slot is almost always bootable if you can switch it on.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flapjack:
It shows up as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" under ports (COM6, on my PC), but then it disappears after a few seconds and tries to boot again.... all on its own.

Unfortunately, I can't leave it for 10 mins, as it just tries to boot again. In the 15-20 seconds it takes to reboot, pressing the power button doesn't show anything. This is concerning because now I wonder if I can even use this tool (worst-case scenario).

Nothing shows up. No sound, no refresh of Device Manager, nothing. No indication Windows even tries to detect it. I updated my fastboot drivers (not that they haven't always worked fine), but that didn't help either. The PC simply doesn't detect it. I've tried two PCs and two different cables, also.

I'm glad the phone thinks it is. When I saw it pop up I was like "hurray", but it's like it doesn't fully get into fastboot or something.

I hope I can recover it like you did, but I'm starting to lose hope. Wtf good is slot a/b if I can't even switch to it. Seriously, all I did was flash magisk to the inactive slot.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] gaww:
I had similar issue after I had done the above many times. I had not removed all Magisk mods before I updated and it bootlooped.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flapjack:
Were you able to fix it? I'm not even sure I could use the unbrick tool at this point, since it won't stay in EDL mode for more than a few seconds.

I just realized, I did have a Magisk module installed for the Total Recall in-call recorder. Crap....
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] hllywd:
You have to move real fast before it kicks out of edl. It took me several times before it worked.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flapjack:
You mean move fast to start the unbrick tool?

I haven't actually tried it yet. Still holding out hope that I can find a way to get back into the phone. It's simply amazing to me that I can get the phone into fastboot mode, but can't get it to actually connect to the PC. I don't believe it's a driver thing, as I never hear the new hardware found sound, and EDL mode connects to the PC just find (usually the harder of the two to get working).

I'm wondering if I load linux up on a PC, if that would help....
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] gaww:

In all the comments I read no one mentions anything about this and it was precisely the solution I needed because my phone disconnected about a few seconds after connecting. At one point I thought that if I pressed start and logged out I would lose it forever but it really worked. You just have to be sure that the phone is recognized by the application and press Star before it disconnects. Thank you very much your comment helped me and especially to the OP you guys saved my day

Hey, can you specify what you mean by cross flashed?

I'm running in2020 as well, with OOS beta 4. It's somehow a chinese Variant, running international firmware? I'm not sure, but it has OOS.

so I've to just run the guide and for firmware I should use the international one?

And it doesn't mess up the fingerprint, right?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] th0d:
With crossflashed I mean a Chinese variant of the Op8p (IN2020) which has been flashed with global/international firmware for use outside of China.

I've recovered my phone (IN2020) twice using this guide and using the linked international firmware in the first post. The process has worked flawlessly both times, just make sure you take it slow and read the instructions carefully. The version I've recovered was the latest global A10 version. I have yet to upgrade to A11.

I have not encountered any problems with the fingerprint sensor. I have though made a backup nowadays of the persist partition just to be safe and avoid any future problems.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] semdoc:
Hi there.... As it was expected, I bricked my instantnoodlep :p

Now, while I'M tryn to recover it, tryin to follow this guide...

Installed drivers, I believe I'M in EDL mode (Under Device manager it says Quallcomm HS USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3))

After pressing Enum in the tool, I can see my device under COM3... But says N/A for status of connection..

Pressed Start after choosing EU as a FW, the screen was greyed out and the line on COM3 says Waiting for device like SS:

And nothing hapens...

Any suggestions ? What did I missed ?

Using Win7 tool in the package, becoz Win 10 doesn't allow me to use the other version....

Thanx in advance....

EDIT:

Now I have error like on the 3rd SS: Param preload failed.... switched USB slots, switched cables.

Any suggestions guys ?

Last edit: Removed my all current quallcom drivers in safe mode. Then installed the driver from the OP (the .cab one, but first extracted all files in separate directory. Don't know how that happens, but windows found the needed drivers in this separate directory).

After this I connected my phone and msm tool recovered my device.

Now all good.

I don't prefer flashing files manually. I used to use FASTBOOT Rom in the past but after reviewing the flash-all.bat file from those roms I found out that it doesn't include code for flashing some .img files, for example to flash system_ext.img command is not included in Android 11 rom. For reference and sort order you can download a fastboot rom of @mauronofrio or you can check this flash-all.bat code if you don't want to download I have copied the text from 11.0.0 version.

Now I always use this Unbrick tool to flash os but it will wipe all of your data.

Ehlo, I'm sorry If I misread the post or anything but I desperately need help.

I very stupidly bricked my phone trying to install the twrp recovery to fix magisk after an OTA.

I downloaded the zip, executed `MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe` And selected 'Other'. Then I installed the qualcom drivers and driver got "Android Bootloader Interface" Under Device manager. I put my phone into bootloader using Vol + & - & Power. I got a big red "RESTART bootloader" on my screen which is what I usually see under the bootloader.

I click Enum and nothing....

I really need some help and I'm quite distressed over here. Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Lucke98:
I start MSM tool,

Login as other

Plug in the phone

Hold the Power + volume buttons for about 10 sec

*release power button but keep holding volume buttons*

in MSM tool:

Meanwhile you are holding the volume buttons, MSM should detect device when you press enum.

As soon you see your device connected, click start.

You can now release the buttons and let the program do the rest.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Grea09:
Thanks a lot, but that's what I've been trying. Finally I fixed it without losing data by using the payload_dumper tool on the latest OTA to get recovery.img and flash it. I Join the file for EU.11.0.2.2 OTA for anyone in the same situation

Hey people,

So i had my phone bail on me when i wanted to install a custom recovery, reached the Qualcomm Crashdump mode.

I encountred many problems, it actually took more than 24h to fix this, here are my observations:

I tried many versions of the msmdownloadtool, my phone already had the last OOS update which is 11.0.2.2, it matches with instantnoodlep_15_E.32_201119 version of msmdownloadtool.

Every version below E30 gave me "firehose communication handshake failed" error, E30 itself gave me "Param Preload Failed" error, E32 worked but with the driver listed in this first post (https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=qualcomm hs usb 9008), so yeah, make sure to use that driver.

Speaking about drivers, your phone on EDL mode maybe recognized with something ending with 900E, but that is not the right driver, you need your driver to end with qloader 9008, use this video to understand how to do that :

Those were my main hickups, good luck on your journey, and i believe you will do it, you will fix your phone.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
You've not stated which version of the phone you have.

Also what custom recovery did you try to install?

Tbh if you put your phone in edl mode whilst connected and with MSM open then it'll read connected indicating the driver is correct.

I didn't have to install any driver it simply worked for me first time.

I don't have android SDK installed either, just the USB drivers for the OnePlus.

Glad you're sorted though.

Hi mate, I've got same issue as you of the Param preload failed.

Hi @Some_Random_Username

I have a user here who's lost their WiFi and potentially their IMEI, not from your tool but some other method.

Have seen some tools in the past that can fix this, any idea or suggestions?

I have recommended your MSM tool but it didn't restore these partitions, definitely got the system back up and running.

I found this from a while back.

OnePlus Community

Introducing our new OnePlus Community experience, with a completely revamped structure, built from the ground-up.

forums.oneplus.com

Going way back but the issue looks the same.

I think it's the EFS and potentially the persist, just waiting to see if his fingerprint is broken too or not.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
Hi, agreed it looks like an EFS and eventually /persist loss. MSM tool indeed does not reflash those partitions.

I have not tested on any device but I've heard there's a Restore NV/EFS button available after dialing *#268# and going to NV Parameters, maybe it could do the trick after a device reboot?

Needless to say I advise to take backups of current EFS and /persist (eg by TWRP) before performing operation and that user is doing that at their own risks.

Note: *#268# launches cn.oneplus.nvbackup (also known as NV Backup UI), which is present on every OOS release. While alternative methods to write an IMEI arbitrary may exist, I am not aware of them and talking about them anyway would be against forum rules.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Aye I'm aware of the tightrope that is IMEI alterations, the fingerprint is broken too so he's heading off to get that sorted. I haven't heard back yet, by I think it's fixable.
