I have oneplus 8 pro and I rooted, granted super user but lost internet connection and wifi. So I read to just format phone and I would bring phone back to normal and still have root and super user. After I erased data I got stuck in a bootloop. The phone will start with message: "The boot loader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed. Any data stored on the device may be available to attackers.. Do not store any sensitive data.

Visit this link on another device:g.co/ABH

Press power key to continue"

Then it just goes into loading screen with 2 white dots traveling around a red dot.

After multiple trips around the red moon it will again restart another cycle then another cycle. Finally I can get a screen with asian writing on first two lines and an english one that I can choose. once I choose english it brings up a few lines of formating erasing data advanced ect. but no matter what I do It just loops back around to one of the top things.

I can however get it to boot into fastboot mode which is unlocked but I cannot for the life of me get my phone to show up as qualcom in device manager on the computer. Uninstall drivers and d/ling drivers to update it always puts weird names somewhere in the line up in device manager. It never is put in the same spot and always has different names. I used msm tools and magisk to get rooted and super user with powershell commands.

Now in powershell I can sometimes see an unknown device but I can't do anything. All roads say we can fix with EDL but I have not found anything that is like my problem. Can anyone help with this one? I have not been able to get into EDL or install google/qualcom drivers to communicate with phone and computer.

Not sure if this is the place for this or one of the many other I have read through.

I would have preferred to do it manually (terminal emulator or adb) to be sure no additional data is added to the img-files, to be sure you are not dependant on that specific app. however, Wanam is a well known developer and I do believe he knows what he's doing. :) App seems to backup nicely, I have not verified the data yet but so far so good. Thanks for the tip!

After be on EDL mode for about 10 seconds the device restarts itself to boot again back to OS. Do you know what could be the issue? I tried with the ADB option and the Vol+ Vol - as well.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Phariex:
Looking around I found the answer in another post from here.

"I found a tmp solution to this problem, no need

doing flash on rush and in the nerves. Checked on Win10 and works.

Block / Disable internet connection (for the WU mechanism to not download the driver itself)

Go to Device Manager > View > Show hidden devices > Ports (Com & LPT).

Locate all Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader > Driver> Uninstall device > Delete the driver software for this device.

Press Vol (+) Vol (-) and connect the phone to the PC.

The device manager should detect the device as QSB_BULK_CID:

Now update the driver manually

Driver > Browse my computer for driver software > Driver location.

From now the phone will not break the EDL session after 10 sec, but ...

This is a one-off solution only.

If you unplug and plug again your phone to PC then again it will be the phone disappearing and its reboot.

You must then repeat the total uninstall of the driver for every time you do not want to rush."

Copying your /persist to your internal storage and doing dd if=/path/to/persist of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist should allow to flash back your /persist

Sorry if this is an idiotic question. Does crossflashing firmware (ex. from IN2023 (EU) firmware to IN2025 (USA) firmware) change the LTE and 5G bands that the phone can receive?

Thanks so much.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
As far as I'm aware bands are determined by hardware version.

what does aa and ba means?

will my phone work if i choose to install indian version , europe if even my phone is international? whats the difference
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
you need to use the same version as what your phone is.

only time you can cross flash is if you got Chinese edition and want to change to Oxygen OS instead of Hydrogen.

AA is Global edition

BA is European edition.

Look in your settings to see what you have if you dont know
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xnostra:
i downloaded the aa version which is global i guess and i finally unbricked it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] toxablin:
I tried. Did not work. I`m not friendly with UNIx and don`t know what is wrong... terminal wrote /storage/persist is a directory (((
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] swapavi:
For some reason my phone keeps rebooting out of edl mode into the system every time I try to run the msm tool.

I've tried it in two different computers, with proper drivers installed on each. No matter how I get to edl (adb command or holding volume +- while plugging phone in) it always reboots to the system after about 5 seconds. I've searched for this issue and can't find anything.

Does anyone here have an idea of why this keeps happening or how to fix it?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
Have you tried clicking on Start button before plugging your device to your computer while it's in EDL mode?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] swapavi:
Yup that worked and it flashed just fine.

My fingerprint broke after flashing though. I have international model and I used the international msm tool. Right before I used the tool, I removed all my fingerprints (which were working just fine) and security lock.

I was rooted with magisk stable prior to flash and didn't have any modules installed.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
Ugh, that's literally the first case where people have fingerprint issues after using an MSM meant for their region.

Do you have a backup of your /persist?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] swapavi:
I do. I'll have to try to restore that once I get home from work.

I believe it needs to be converted to another format first though, I think. I forget which thread I read that on.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
It depends how you've backup...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] swapavi:
Just used termux and the DD command

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Just restore this backup with

dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

I know for sure that if you backup the persist on the Chinese twrp( just as partition backup ( yes you can on this twrp)

By restoring it you can fix the fp enrollment issue
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] swapavi:
So if I used the DD command to pull the persist.img, I can safely use the other DD command to restore that image without having to convert it at all?

I forget which thread I was in, but a couple people had problems with restoring the persist.img without converting it to raw (I believe).
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Its safe to restore it this way..

But I'm not sure if its going to fix your fp issue..

I hope it well

Like i said the best way is to backup and restore is on twrp
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] swapavi:
Yeah I assumed so but I couldn't find the Chinese twrp. Too late now lol

Edit: just used the command to restore persist.img and then rebooted my phone and now fingerprint is working again.

So using the DD command to backup (and restore) persist.img definitely works to bring back fp if it breaks due to msm.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] GHOST1010:
I beleive you can go to the directory and copy the .img file?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Great news
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kristofpetho:
Which version of the phone do you have? EU?

If EU, can you please share your persist image?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] GHOST1010:
I think you can't use the persist from another phone no matter if it's the same version or not , you need prsist.img from your phone itself ( that's what I heard)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] swapavi:
It's international / AA model.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kristofpetho:
Can someone/anyone please share a working BA persist image?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] GHOST1010:
Can you remove the quoted OP post , and you can try reflash same and different versions
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kidraultt:
Solution

Okay so,

Open MSM tool, click "Verify", now "SMT Download mode" and it's boot :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
Just a reminder that you should not use SMT mode unless you have an EFS (and most likely a /persist one) backup as this will wipe your IMEI and data calibration sensors.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kidraultt:
yes i comfirm :(
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kidraultt:
can you share your persist ? BA model ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Duncan1982:
If you don't have the persist.img and you cross flash or re-lock bootloader you run the risk of loosing the ability to use the fingerprint reader .....

If you took a proper backup ( before loosing fp of course) and you restore it also properly , it should work

How did you backup?..on terminal with dd command or on twrp ?..

Can you give more info?..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] superior8888:
With the app partition backup. I still have the file but not the phone. Didn't have time for more testning unfortunately. I think the DD command is the way to go here. Everthing ****ed up, first losing the EFS and then wifi didn't work, then the fp reader. I was about to throw this **** through the Window.

How to recover persist ?

I have an persist.img.

Did through the terminal.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
What you mean its not working...?

I you have the persist file on you sd card

On terminal

- su

-dd if=/sdcard/persist.imgof=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist

And reboot..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] iRamSoft:
All sensors broke down. WiFI, FP, ect...

After this operations unable mount /persist (invalid argument)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Is this on twrp?

How did you backup and restore?..

Terminal on twrp or on booted OS?..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] iRamSoft:
Yes. And after facrory reset this

I did through adb

su

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] iRamSoft:
Of course
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:

Or a fastboot rom
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] iRamSoft:

Persist img , you restore the backup after flashing the ROM?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] iRamSoft:
Before.

But now I can not block the bootloader.

The setting is locked.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
You can not what?..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] iRamSoft:
fastboot oem lock
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Why you want to relock the bootloader?

Do you have this enabled on developer options ?..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] iRamSoft:
The setting is locked, turned gray.

This has not happened before.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
If you want to relock the bootloader you have to get rid of the twrp..first..

If you have the twrp permanently installed
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] iRamSoft:
I am removing twrp.

But when you try to lock it writes: Your device is corrupt
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
I will recommend you to not relock..

You will probably lose the fp again..and you will not gonna be able to restore it with locked bootloader

---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

You have to go back to stock recovery before relocking the bootloader

That's why you're getting " device corrupt" warning

Well you can contact CS and be honest telling them what happened (but they might charge you price of a motherboard + labour) or play the dumb customer not understanding what happened (which is not really ethical) in which case they might choose to honour warranty. Note that I do not work for OnePlus and that what I mentioned are just assumptions.

You said you can't unlock bootloader if a SIM card hasn't been inserted so your IMEI being zeroed in combination with that might explain it.

If using dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist (assuming your saved persist is at the root of your internal storage) doesn't work, this may mean the software you've used to back it up didn't do that correctly.

Gone

If a flash using MSM tool doesn't fix it, I don't know anything that can (also mind to use the same regional build to avoid issues with fingerprint sensor mentioned above)

Well it is a brick mate, I can't even boot up into the OS as I get Qualcomm CrashDump and when I go into bootlocker it is locked can't do much.

Hi,

question regarding the partition "persist".

You are talkign all the time about

/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist

I did a backup in TWRP of EFS and modem. The restore did work, but the FP is still in error.

(i relocked the bootloader immediately after restoring both partitions, then reboot and test FP -> error)

But i took also

dd if=/dev/block/sdf2 of=/modemst1.bin bs=2048

dd if=/dev/block/sdf3 of=/modemst2.bin bs=2048

Is this the persist?

Can i restore these 2 partitions?

Thanks

Does this work on OOS 10.5.9 IN11BA? UK version?

I've recently gone from Samsung to OnePlus so this is all new to me. Does this mean that you can root and use this to unroot and go back to stock without anyone knowing the device was ever rooted?

So could use this and then use warranty if needed after I've rooted?
