Does it end in Qualcomm crashdump more or just a bootloop? If Qualcomm crashdump mode, it depends which crashdump message you're getting. If it's just a bootloop, try booting into stock recovery and select English, then wipe data from there then try booting. If that doesn't work you can try one of the different msm tools (different version for your region) and see if you get a different result. Unfortunately, once you used msm, you relocked the bootloader, which means you can't use the fastboot ROMs. If none of that works, you'll probably have to send it to OnePlus. I had the infinate boot into Qualcomm crashdump mode after using msm and trying to restore my own persist from within the rom instead of using fastboot to restore it. Msm would complete, but still would boot to Qualcomm crashdump mode. Had to do warranty exchange with OnePlus as nothing else worked.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rgegko:
It's just a bootloop, msmtool work perfectly but like you said, i'll try other msmtool because i've already tried wipe data from the stock recovery.

Did the warranty work for a problem like this ?

Thank you for your help
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] EMJI79:
I can't find out if my firmware is (was as now it's bricked) international firmware or Indian firmware.

It's an IN2020 I bought from Honk Kong.

I am not rooted so I cannot take a backup of persist (or can I now it's bricked?).

What should I do?

Can I try international then Indian to figure out which firmware should work or could it brick my device even more?

:confused:
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
Mine was the crashdump mode but I would assume even if just a never ending bootloop, warranty exchange should be possible. Just a heads up, do what you can to try to fix it yourself first. Their customer support can be less than stellar, I waited almost 3 weeks for them to ship me a warranty exchange device and whole time could never get anything other than scripted responses from their customer service and when calling and asking to speak to a supervisor, they told me no. So, if at all possible to get it up and running using a different msm, I'd try that but at least if nothing else you should be able to do warranty exchange.

If you have the IN2020 the original firmware would be the Chinese firmware hydrogen os. You should be able to flash the international firmware, there's a guide on the first page for converting from hydrogen to oxygen. Also you can use the MSM tool to pull your persist and fastbootd to restore it.

The easiest way to backup persist is open MSM tool, press F8, click persist partition, password is oneplus, power off device and boot into edl when connecting device, click read back button. This backs up you're persist partition to root of your PC (i.e. c:\ drive). Then reboot device into edl to restore using MSM and then once booted back up, if no fingerprint, unlock bootloader and boot into fastbootd (fastboot reboot fastboot) and then flash persist (fastboot flash persist persist.img) and reboot. The method in the OP is great if you're rooted, but this method works regardless (although only works if backing up a working persist, ie before breaking fingerprint).

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] EMJI79:
Ok, unbrick tool worked only when I used another's phone cable (strange?) But before that it was absolutely impossible to get into fastbootd.

Hope I don't need fastbootd one day.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
Yeah, I've found some times have to use different cables or different USB ports.

Thank you for sharing the tool with us.

So im having a bit of an issue . No matter what i do the program puts out "smt config not found". No matter if the phone is plugged in or not it still happens. Ive redone everything in an effort to get it to work. Even put a fresh windows ten pro on my computer. But still get the same issue.

My question is this, what does is this error mean? Ive got a little grip on what "smt" stands for, satisfiability modulo theories. What im gathering is that there is an issues with something not matching up within the software/program download. I could be wrong . I know there has been a few others who have had the same issue with it. Has anyone found a fix for it? If not , im more than happy to lend a hand in getting to the bottom of it. Thank you guys for your time
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrPhilo:
Thank you for this. Not sure what happened, I use the fastboot ROM to flash the stock ROM toEU to my device (full wipe) and relocked bootloader but it was saying corrupted or not trusted device and was screwed.

Using this tool restored it. Thanks again.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Navyvet63:
I'm frazzled. I've been at this all day and I'm lost. It started with the oos 11 beta 3. Everything worked from the beginning and I

decided to try rooting using magisk. That is when it started with the crashdump mode. I could boot into fastboot but that was it.

There was no communication with the phone. I have been trying MsmDownloadTool V4.0 from the oos 10.5.11 download (my stock firmware btw)

and it keeps failing at "firehosecheckrsp Failed, errno: 258". Also when i try bootloader it just sits on the fastboot screen. HELP

Update: 15 mins. after posting it worked. I'm a happy camper.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Niranjan Bapat:
IN11DA tools (indian firmware) OOS 10.5.4 link doesnt seem to be working..

Update: The mirror link is working again.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] CMDolojan:
so i did everything and it worked i forgot to close the program when i reconnected my device and rebooted and it started to download again and like an idiot i stopped it mid download and unplugged now my device wont turn on nor will my computer recognize my device. does anyone have any insite on what i could do to fix this
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] CMDolojan:
quick tip i figured out my own problem in the post right above. if you only have fastboot available and mess up like i did plug in your device and it will boot into "update failed screen press any button"

1. have MSM open

2. hit the power button on your phone

3. when phone goes black immediately press and hold volume up and down together

4. release as soon as MSM recognizes your device and you're golden
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Niranjan Bapat:
Similar thing happened with me. What you need to do is make sure your device is completely powered off. If not, Press and hold Vol. up and Power button together until the screen goes off. (make sure u r not connected to pc with a cable). Now Press and hold Vol. up and Vol. down (only these 2 buttons, avoid pressing power button) buttons and then while you are still holding them connect your phone to PC (EDL mode). Once MSM tool detects your phone, leave the buttons. And then you can restore your phone to Factory.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] CMDolojan:
Yeah I ended up figuring it out took a few hours but I got it. I was sure I bricked my phone for good haha.

I want to flash Indian ROM on Global version of OnePlus 8 Pro. Which MsmDownloadTool should I use? Global MsmDownloadTool or Indian MsmDownloadTool? Let me know please.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaiknbaik:
This saved me, thank you so much! If you are having issues with your phone popping up keep in my the qualcomm mode you need to be in is a black screen like the phone is off. Hold both volume buttons and plug it in you should hear the sound from your computer but the screen remains off! then it should show up on the utility.

Thanks!

I very new with oneplus 8 pro. I want to go from IN2023 to IN2021. So which version of msm download tool is required?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] s327374:
er - I think I am stuffed. Tried to relock my bootloader and now can't get into bootloader or recovery. Just a repeat off and on "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot. Visit this link on another device: g.co/ABH"

How stuffed am I - downloading this now, but think I now have a brick, right?

Bugger

ALrighty - figured how to get into TWRP at least... power off. Both up and down volume and then power on... So I am not totally screwed with bootloop

Update (not good)

tried to unlock again - then phone wouldn't boot except into bootloader,r and TWRP. So downloaded the files to flash via TWRP. Got some action.... but hen that has now died in the ass. I have a brick... Cannot doing anything - zero function. Oh dear. Any advice? I guess I need to ship back to oneplus, right?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
None, MSM tool is only to flash a software build, not to change model number...

As explained in OP, these files are not meant to be flashed via TWRP.

You need to download them on a computer, unzip the archive, put your device in Qualcomm EDL mode and perform flash by clicking on Start button.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] s327374:
Yep - I pretty much messed up, right? Now all I have is a brick.

I see now how I should have gone about this, but I panicked... probably am not the first. Anyway, I really appreciate the help here on this site whenever I stumble. Not in the tech industry, so it is an unusual hobby for someone like me. Think this time, though, I will have to try and go through return via Chinese oneplus store. oh dear...

The thing is, I don't know why I can't connect to the phone, as I don't see the QUSB_BULK_CID:etc due to my set up, but know it exists. I actually don't have a pc and I use a macbook which of course only has a usbc c connection. So no chance to fix maybe, as I can not grab pc easily where I am. I am using parallels to do all this type of thing and normally that works quite well enough. Parallel sees the QUSB_BULK_CID:etc, but I can't get it to register in the file system to add the correct drivers as OP states.

Anyway, I can see how it might work, as I get something connected in COM 23 but there is literally seemingly no way I can get the phone now to be recognised and I can't get it into EDL mode and therefore I am stuck.

Bugger.

Thanks for the reply.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] herald1368:
I have European version and I want to flash Indian ROM on it. (Not to change model number) How to do it?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] s327374:
Wow - ok

I know my explanation doesn't make sense I suppose. However, I really am thankful at the moment.

Windows via parallel normally works for this sort of thing - I mean it got me into this predicament, right? However, using an old Huawei Windows tablet in Chinese language (don't ask) got me through... Despite it all being in Chinese, somehow I managed to get it to work. It must have simply had the right drivers or connection to start with compared to the MAc's windows and therefore finished the process - just as it ran out of battery too. The tablet only has one entry and exit port for power/usb c etc. Ran out a matter of seconds after the process was greenlighted. ... however - yeah - problem solved. I won't unlock for a bit now that I know it affects my fingerprint payments. Still - so very glad this software existed.

Importantly maybe for anyone reading this in a similar situ, I noted that while the phone did not show any sign of life (or when connected to mac's windows),when it was attached to the PC, there still wasn't a sign of life, but when I pressed the two volume keys and the power the unbrick software changed... SO new I was onto something. Just couldn't read the Chinese.

In other news, I did manage to get my non-tech better half to call the ONeplus centre who were also pretty helpful. They mentioned would have been able to assist (once I found a working PC and someone to translate. From the files they sent me, and the links to the software they were going to use, I know that they were just about to hook me up to the latest Hydrogen... Which I don't think would have been especially helpful for my situation. But pretty good offer of service though - would have been open to assist between 9am and 8pm all week. Also, the store I bought phone from has a no questions return policy too... but you know, I am glad I don't have to go through that lengthy process. ok - Hijacked this thread for long enough.

I am done! in a good way

Cheers

No: you have to use the guide in OP.

Note that the EDL mode doesn't show anything on the screen. You have to make every steps till the computer "catches" the phone and only then you can let off the buttons.

I've done the msmtool thing and it was downloaded successfully, but my phone simply gave "Qualcomm CrashDump Mode", but it can still open fastboot mode. The "Device state" is locked, this has to be unlocked so i can flash it. How do i unlock it as my phone is bricked so no developer options.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] android2819:
hi. i've been looking through this thread and i have few questions about my specific model. I have ordered the OP 8 Pro 8/128 from China. (China model is IN2020 if i'm right).

1. Now, when i'll receive the phone i know it will have OOS on it. Say i am on EU OOS(BA), can i just Local Update AA OOS?(Global)?

2. In the case i somehow brick the phone if i decide to flash other ROMs or so, i see i can use this MSM tool to unbrick it. However:

a. Won't i need a HydrogenOS based MSM tool? I see the only tools here are for phones bought in either US,EU or India. Basically, if the context of MSM tool is to reset the phone in the state that it came out of the factory, doesn't that mean i need a H2OS tool for it to work and unbrick it?

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

Example: i bricked the phone while it had OOS 10.5.12(EU BA version) - can i simply use EU MSM Tool even though my model is CN IN2020?

Would it work if i had bootloader unlocked in the first place?

c. Lastly, if my only option is to get H2OS MSM Tool, i tried searching the internet and couldn't find any for the OP8P China Version.

I have seen a similar thread for the OP7T Pro version involving some baidu servers.. however i don't know how to actually download it.

Thanks

TLDR: Could someone share the MSM Download tool for Chinese IN2020(H2OS)? Much appreciated.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
If download state was marked as complete, it means flash performed successfully and that your bootloader is locked.

Unfortunately if it keeps looping back to Qualcomm crash dump mode there's nothing that can be done.

Yeah, same. I had to use a USB 2.0 passthrough port on my keyboard to get it to work. It didn't wanna work on my USB 3.0 ports. Sahara error constantly and went into fastboot all the time.

This tool did really save me lol. I was playing around with flashing some GSI's and just in general playing around with the phone and i soft bricked it to the point even fastboot flashing a fastboot ROM didn't work as it kept saying critical flash not allowed even tho fastboot flashing unlock_critical would say already unlocked.

This worked fine and saved me hardcore lol.

Am I understanding you correctly that you are still able to get into fastboot? Then you should be able to flash a firmware via the All in One Tool.
