You should be able to use any of the tools present in the OP but I would advise that you backup your /persist partition before (in main window of tool, press F8, tick "persist", input "oneplus" as password, press "ok" and click on the readback button).

Partition will be at the root of your system drive.

When I click to launch MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe, nothing happens, just a small window comes up stating "program has been started but nothing happens...

EDIT: I got it working, driver needed restart.

I cannot enter EDL mode. I can reboot between system, recovery and bootloader but cannot enter EDL mode. I help vol+ and - for a while several times, nothing.

Another EDIT: I got into EDL via adb, it's doing it's thing now.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] gaww:
I have not been able to determine the different 8 Pro devices, and since you seem to be on top of everything, I would like to ask a question.

OnePlus is calling the 8 Pro they are selling here a "US" version, and i don't see anything like that here or elsewhere. The overseas versions are "Global" which I would guess is the same as your "international" above. Since I am looking at a possible Global version, I am not sure if it will have the same frequencies as the OnePlus one.

If you can help - thanks. After I get an 8, I will be using your tool and firmware to take My 7 McLaren 5G back to stock.

From previous posts elsewhere (if you look), no international working on that. If it could be, I would not be looking at a non-carrier replacement.

Can you explain how?

I am also stuck between fastboot and recovery, can't seem to enter EDL

any guide how to do it?

Pressing Vol up + Vol down + power gets me to fastboot mode not EDL

Thanks.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] t-mizzle:
Are you trying to use the unbrick tool? Also I think EDL is just vol+ and vol-, no power button for that. It did not work for me with buttons, I got into EDL via adb, adb fastboot EDL, I believe.

I would like to thank everyone for trying to help me out. It was a mentally exhausting day, I must have wiped my phone at least 15 times. I'm giving it a break for now, will get back into it over the weekend.

Was trying to flash my back up of my stock magisk kernel to use a different kernel. Flashes it in ekxm and then the crashdump happened. Tried everything to get out of it and then resorted to the MDM download tool and now I'm here

I was really hoping that wasn't the case. Ugh
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
This backup ..of your stock kernel..

Where did you found it?..

You took it yourself or from somewhere else?..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] c_86:
If I remember correctly I did it in ekxm before flashing the kernel I was using. But I can't remember if thats how I did it or if I did it in magisk.

After i flash the firmware for i2020 I checked the fingerprint and it works fine. Why
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cheribibi:
Try this:

Power off the phone.

Hold down Volume Up and Volume Down buttons, and plug in the cable while you are continuing to hold the 2 volume buttons.

Then you should enter EDL mode.

Stumbled onto this thread hoping to fix my brand new bricked 8 pro. Tried rooting with magisk and ended up stuck in fastboot. I can scroll the fastboot options but everything just makes it loop. At this point I cannot even get the phone to power off in order to attempt to enter EDL mode. Before attempting Magisk I was running 10.5.10 and this is the global AA version.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] melvinJones:
Long press the power button for 30seconds and your mobile is switched off.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] twelvevoltguy:
That was the first thing I tried, unfortunately that doesn't work. While holding down the power button in fast boot, it just keeps looping the boot sequence over and over. 30 seconds, 60 seconds, doesn't change. Also all of the fast boot options cause a boot loop. I was able to get it into recovery mode at one point by connecting to adb and rebooting. Once rebooted, I was then able to choose "power off" but even once it was off I could not ever get EDL mode to start. I left it in recovery overnight and this morning it was on the Qualcom crash dump screen with 2 lines: "fatal error" and "die". I am really hoping I haven't permanently bricked my 2 day old phone.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
If it's the crashdump mode error of the screen shoot I attached, it appears it's a hard brick. This is what happened to my phone and no matter what, no way to fix. Ended up having to do RMA and waiting on a replacement. Sucks, I've been at this for a long time and never had an issue. Also, with OnePlus have always been able to use MSM tool to get out of any situation and unfortunately doesn't work with this one. Can successfully flash using MSM but still only boots into crashdump mode. You may be able to fix yours if it's not this crashdump screen though. Sounds like you haven't been able to get edl to use MSM yet? If so, try to power of device either using fastboot menu to power off or by holding power button and volume up and down until it turns off. After doing so, hold volume up and down while plugging USB cable in and it boots into edl mode (black screen, but you hear a sound on computer when plugging it in). If it boots into fastboot when doing so, try another USB port (needs to be USB 2.0 port). Afterwards you shoulda be able to run MSM tool and hopefully get it fixed. Good luck.

Added 10.5.10 IN11AA and IN11DA MSM tools.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ecna:
No, I mean, I got into EDL mode fine, but the instructions never tell you when it's ok to let go off the buttons. It'd be nice if they said "you can let go now".
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
Will add that for further clarification when I will have time to update thread.

Edit: done
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] twelvevoltguy:
Thank you for taking the time to help me.

That isn't the same crashdump error message so fingers crossed there is still a chance. I have stepped away from it for the weekend but will give it another go after work tomorrow.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fischer1234:
I have the global IN11AA, flashed the 10.5.10 international rom and fingerprint does not work. Can't figure it out, pretty frustrating.

Also can't downgrade from the latest OOS version. Unlocked bootloader and cmd throws me a flashing not allowed for critical partitions error and proceeds into crashdump mode.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] twelvevoltguy:
Just wanted to update: With the new 10.5.10 that was added yesterday and the MSM clarification you helped provide I was finally able to completely restore my phone tonight, fingerprint scanner and all. Thank you!!!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] pyry666:
I assume your fingerprint was working before restoring?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] twelvevoltguy:
Correct. But having heard all the horror stories about people restoring and finding the scanner non functional it was a relief to dodge that bullet.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
There's a guide that now that will help you fix it. Not sure if it works because I can't test it (my device is bricked) but seems worth a try before going with RMA. Guide is here.

Just looked and it and looks promising. In the process of seeing if it fixes FP.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Benjnast:
I had a hard time figuring out how to use these tools so I ended up booting into fastboot from the crash dump screen (vol up + power both held) then using the all in one tool, i flashed twrp 3.4.0.0. not 0.1. From there I flashed a stock rom from the oxygen website and flashed it while my phone was still in recovery. FOR ME, I got no where using the newest twrp for some reason. I had to go back to 3.4.0.0. Hope this helps somebody..

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
Yes you can downgrade using that tool, mind it wipes userdata.

IN2020 and IN2021 have color camera filter disabled as of OnePlus Camera 4.0.267, but IN2021 is told to receive an ETA to get it reenabled as per XDA internal sources https://www.xda-developers.com/onep...color-filter-camera-disabled-oxygenos-update/

You think it's worth it ? Or just wait for a fix on XDA regarding IR sensor strength. ?*♂️
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
There was a typo: it was meant to be "OTA" instead of "ETA".

Ultimately it's your device so your decision but I don't think it's worth downgrading to get that IR sensor back.

Would using this method help getting Widevine L1 back?

I never unlocked my bootloader so no issues at all on my side, FP works like a charm and no screen issues so far I'm very happy. However after a test drive on Android 11 DP and returning to Android 10 I've lost Widevine L1, my device is now on Widevine L3

Is this something that can be fixed using this method or should I sent my device to OP service center?

Also is there any risk of loosing FP if I downgrade my firmware with this method?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
I have no idea about Widevine, but i guess it doesn't hurt to try to use MSM tool to see if it actually fix it.

You normally shouldn't lose fingerprint if you stick to the tools meant for your current regional version installed (eg if you're on OOS AA you need to use OOS AA tool etc) but I would advise to back up your /persist nonetheless.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xaviericaa:
Will the list be updated with 10.5.11 IN11AA?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
These tools are not made by me but by OnePlus (me being able to do so would be a concern from a point of view of device security due to all private keys it would require).

It is possible this list doesn't get updated with 10.5.11, but in any case you can always use a previous version as it allows to arbitrary rollback.

After booting twrp and selecting ADB Sideload, my OP8P is stuck in TWRP. I've held the power button down for a good 2 minutes but it hasn't rebooted. Is there a way to reboot the phone without leaving it to drain the battery down to 0?

I am currently having the issue where the msm tool does not detect my device when I click the enum button as stated in the faq, but my device does not appear as QDLOADER 9008 nor QHUSB_BULK under device manager but when I plug in my device it appears as "android bootloader interface" under device manager. I have also tried to manually update the driver using the files provided but I get a message that says the best drivers are already installed. My device is currently bricked and I get the crashdump error when I try to turn it on. Any help would be much appreciated!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
It means you're doing something wrong as android bootloader interface is fastboot mode. Power off your device, wait 30 seconds and try to get in EDL again following instructions in OP.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] jamescable:
So, been using the msm tools since OnePlus 3t, then 6t, then 7 pro and now this phone so I have plenty of experience and I just want some clarity on something. I have read comments on this thread saying that some are getting crashdump mode with the tool in this thread. Is it true? The only time I have ever had crashdump was on my ,6t and all I did was hold power and volume up until it rebooted like normal and no isses
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] spireweb:
I got the crashdump error after I flashed the magisk patch after unlocking my bootloader. I'm guessing I got the error because the magisk patch version I tried was 10.5.6 global but my OOS version was 10.5.10.I but I decided to just try it anyways like an idiot. I've been unable to get my phone to reboot like normal it would just automatically show the crashdump error everytime I tried to boot it up then for some reason I decided to try wiping everything in recovery mode so now my phone just goes straight to recovery mode when I try to turn it on but I can also still access fastboot mode. I tried going into edl mode by following OP's instructions but my phone goes straight into fastboot mode as soon as I connect the cable to my laptop.

I've also tried using the command adb reboot edl in command prompt but it seems like it is not detecting my device for some reason.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Gary_Forth:
For everybody who's having problem to enter the EDL model. Keep you phone plugged. Turn off the phone and when the screen goes black press and hold vol up and down together. You MSM app should be open. Whet you'll see that one of the ports connected hit start. You have around 5 seconds before it will go out of EDL mode.

This tool saved my phone today and even I was able to fix one bug. The mobile data issue when switching from wifi to cellular. But after I did a restore issue come back. Now I'm doing recovery again and will upload backup app by app back to find what causing this issue.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
I have the same issue, US unlocked model. I still have fastboot but didn't unlock my bootloader first sadly. I can't flash the factory images or get out of A11 Beta 2 due to an issue they're having with it. (If needs to check for updates via WiFi or cellular data, once it does the phone will just reboot and you start over, there's no way around this or to skip the set up menu) Any ideas? When I hit 'ENUM' while in the MSM tool I get the same SMT Config Not Found then my phone reboots. I'm rather annoyed that I need to use my 7 Pro in Dual Sim mode since my 8 Pro is currently a brick (soft brick since I have fastboot but I can't do much with it ...)

EDIT: for the record my Qualcomm drivers and everything are up to date as well.

Is there a way to flash via fastboot with a locked BL? Dumb question but I'll try anything at this point
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
Ugh, maybe you need to try on another computer (or just use a different USB port/cable) then because it should definitely work..

It's very unlikely to be able to do anything with fastboot on locked bootloader and would even be considered as a security issue since device could be tampered with by any physical attacker like OnePlus 6 back in 2018 .
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
Fair enough, I appreciate your help! I figured it's done for so I got with OnePlus and set up a return. They understood the situation since it was on an official OS (Android 11 Beta 2) and told me it wouldn't be a problem. I ordered a new one and it already shipped!

I've been struggling to figure out what I've done wrong, though obviously there's something going on here...

I have a US unlocked OP8P, followed the steps in the OP, ensured the drivers are installed (shows up in Device Manager properly). Despite this, the tool hangs at "Param preload failed" step after 8 seconds, the text turns red when that happens.

I'm able to get to fastboot and boot to TWRP (unlocked bootloader), but I'm unable to do much else. I think somehow my partitions (and/or partition map, unsure of the exact terminology) have become jacked up, as I'm not able to plug into my PC and see "Internal Storage" as a part of the OP8P. I was hoping this tool would be the magic bullet. If anyone has any suggestions or tips, that would be great!

I used this few times. What I did. Turn the device off. Start this application on the computer. Push and hold the volume up and down button together. Plug the cable to the phone, still push the buttons. If you see the program show it connected, push the Start. If it start upload the files to the phone, you can release the buttons. Wait Till the phone start reboot then unplug it and that's it. I hope you can understand 'cos my english not so good.

I recently try to fix the fingerprint scanner with a backup of my persist folder, but when I went to the engineer folder, i think i've all messed up because when I restart my phone, it just goes in an infinite bootloop, however I can go to fastboot and recovery mode.

I tried to unbrick it with msmtool, everything works fine but again, bootloop.

I don't even know what to do, should I send it to one plus or keep trying to fix it ?
