For anyone looking at this, When I used the A11 version, I kept getting an error when trying OTA and I couldn't get to A12. Using the A10 MSM tool I was able to update OTA to A11 and then to A12.

doesnt works 4 me in virtualbox, had to dig up a windows laptop. if anyone has trouble with virtualbox try another pc before wasting your time troubleshoot
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ApollosArmory:
I made an account on here just to thank you, literally saved my ass because for some reason the MSM for Android 10 on IN2017 threw me into a weird state where my phone wouldn't stay booted for longer than maybe 3 min before restarting itself - was about to throw the thing out the window but stumbled upon this gem. If anyone's still looking it works.

if i use this tool can i unlock my bootloader without token?
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
No, this tool is to restore to stock OOS.

thanks for the info, i didn't do my yet.

Yeah just bricked trying to fastboot ROM convert. Could you upload a mirror to this or provide the password for the mirror there already?
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
The password of the mirror is already in OP?

Additionally it wasn't necessary to DM me as well.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ecompton59:
The download isn't working and I have bricked 8 does anyone know where to get file
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] josh8901:
I'm a different person, but do you know how big the file size is? I've been downloading from the mirror, but I'm at 18gigs and counting. I don't need exacts, just an estimate, because I really only expected ~8-10.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
Should be around 2.6 gb
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] livinginkaos:
I've had an issue with the 10.5.8.IN55CB update not wanting to install. I assume it's that stupid bug where a factory wipe deletes a needed file- I purchased this on Swappa and have wiped it myself a couple times. In any case, I read somewhere using the unbrick tool will get it back on track - which makes sense since it is a factory image. Anyway, my problem is that regardless of how I get into EDL mode, whether it be adb or vol. buttons, it will be detected correctly, but the MSM tool does not start and after about 10 seconds, the phone just reboots on its own. I've tried multiple machines all the same results. I've installed the updated Qual drivers. Any ideas?

UPDATE: I actually got it on my original machine finally. After a few reboots of my desktop, when I opened the MSM tool, it finally showed the COM ports sitting idle. Previously, they were not present. I then started the tool, then rebooted into EDL from ADB and it took off.

UPDATE 2: I just wanted to confirm that this DID take care of the System Update Installation issue I had that started this whole process for me.

Hey there,

No. No workaround here.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] free4flight:
Just wanted to say that I had to use the unbrick tool due to tmo 10.5.8 to global, did not work, messed up everything, thot I was safe with the unbrick tool, but it didn't fix it. So... called OP support and he had me do a hard reset, still didn't fix it. Now I have to send it in to get fixed. Bummer... these phones are too expensive to get em screwed up. Never had this problem before but the unbrick tool is not always the perfect solution.

[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] XD-MOD2-9MM:
I have a T-Mobile OnePlus 8. I let my ex-girlfriend use it and she put a fingerprint on the phone. When I start the phone up, obviously it asks me for her password to get into the phone (not to start Android) if I use this tool is it going to completely reset the phone to the point where I don't have to put in her Gmail after I reset the phone? That's how it works with the 7 Pro. not sure if it is the same here so just wondering if somebody could confirm or if anybody had any idea? Thanks
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
That's how it generally works, unless they've changed something this gen, which is unlikely.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] XD-MOD2-9MM:
Ya I'm trying to avoid the 250+ for an insurance replacement, and if I warranty exchange it out, T-Mobile has charged me 400 before for an "out of warranty" issue because I had reset a phone without taking my fingerprint and my security off the phone before I brought it in ??*♂️

Convert to International Version

Hey this may be a dumb question. I have the TMO OP8 - IN2017, i was just able to receive my bootloader unlock token through the oneplus/tmobile website. My goal is to be able to be able to install the beta builds of oxygen OS. I am stuck trying to figure out my next step. Do i need to flash to the international version? Is this possible with the MSM tool since i now have an unlocked bootloader?

Ive used the MSM too before on the OP7 pro. But i'm just a little confused on this one and there's not as much info of tmobile users for the OP8.

Any advice would be great thanks everyone!
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcus37:
That's what I'm trying to figure out as well.. Didn't want to root I just wanna install the OFFICIAL OXYGEN OS so I can receive TIMELY updates..

[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Do we have to worry about the persist Fp sensor issue with our TMO phones?
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
Yes. Using this can and probably will break fingerprint. Back up your persist first. I used this tool to restore my tmo op8 to stock to be able to update and it broke my fingerprint. So just updated, unlocked and then restored persist to fix it.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
It indeed broke my fingerprint as well but even after msm update to 100 pct stock, I get the infamous "installation problem"
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
Yeah, I'm at a loss regarding why with the 8 and 8pro, the MSM tool is breaking fingerprint functionality. Makes no sense at all. I've had the 6, 6t, and 7 pro and used MSM on all of them plenty of times and it never affected fingerprint. As far as the update goes, I am able to get the updates to install fine after using MSM. I just MSM, don't bother setting it up, go to system update and update and after all updates, then I unlock bootloader, fix persist partition and root my phone and set it all up.

SMT Config not found - can't EDL restore

I tried both versions on a TMO phone IN2017 and both of them fail with "SMT Config not found" - anyone have a workaround for this issue, or ever experienced this issue?

I used the primary and mirror link, same issue. I'm definitely in EDL mode per Device Manager QDLoader 9008. I even used the International version, which seems to also need this SMT config file. Is there some SMT config file that has been removed from the distribution???

And I installed all the drivers mentioned throughout this post to no avail. I used 3 different PCs as well. And I used 2 different cables and 5 different USB ports. So I think I ruled out the PC as being the issue. Yet I see NO ONE in the thread having this error message.

Thanks for any and all help.

Can this be used to downgrade from DP4?

Local upgrade option is not working on Android 11 DP4 to go back to stable android 10
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nathan.7118391:
Local upgrade won't go back to old versions. It's exactly what you said UPGRADE. This will downgrade you back to TMO stock.

[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaneg79:
No mine was passing but something interesting happened today, I decided to install Android 11 developer preview 4 and I decided not to root but I noticed my fingerprint scanner is working without being rooted which is strange I wonder if somehow I could go back to 10.5.20 and get fingerprint working again without root?
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cashbins0:
Safetynet passes

10.5.10

Need to update to 10.5.20 but cannot get ota to download.

If anyone has the latest T-Mobile OnePlus 8 10.5.20 please share.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cashbins0:
Please help if possible!!
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaneg79:
It's because you are rooted you have to unroot then install and reroot
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cashbins0:
No go, un rooted, and still can't update. Did a full magisk uninstall, flashed magisk uninstall zip after removing modules, booted ( not installed ) twrp and flashed from there.

Still will not update. Is it just me? I don't know if it's worth MSMing back to stock and trying all over. I do have the new modem.img from the latest update.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Same thing happened to me. You need to MSM to stock again.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cashbins0:
And back to flashing, then I'll root and new update will come out lol,

Never getting T-Mobile branded OnePlus device again!!
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
I don't blame you. They make it a pita for sure. Only reason I have tmo branded is because I upgrade every model so no point going through OnePlus
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaneg79:
By unroot I mean you have to flash back to stock

QUALCOMM Crashdump Mode

Wanted to take the latest T-Mobile update so I used EDL tool to flash back stock since I was rooted. All went well, unlocked the bootloader again and was able to take the update. Noticed I was not able to setup a fingerprint. Probable did this wrong but used TWRP Terminal to restore stock persist.img that I had backed up to see if it would work (did not). So I used EDL again but now I can't boot, get stuck on QUALCOMM Crashdump Mode with the message below. Now I can't unlock bootloader because I can't get to developer options for oem unlock, I can get to fastboot but if I choose recovery mode it just brings me back to the Qualcomm message. EDL finishes mission complete 290 seconds with the log at the bottom of this post. I have re-run EDL 4 times and always the same. Have no idea what to try now except warranty exchange and then I won't be able to unlock the bootloader again. I don't understand what I did wrong, if you have an idea please let me know and a possible fix would be very welcomed.

Same here, haven't found a fix yet.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
It doesn't matter what the status of the software side is, as long as you have no hardware issues, the MSM tool should be able to fix it. As for the bootloader being locked, that doesn't matter cause the tool locks the bootloader anyway.

Try a different a computer if possible, different usb cable and port . The software can fix just about anything, qualcomm mode is the MSM protocol

Also redownload the tool and try again. Let the phone die if you still can't get it to work and try again
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rzracer2:
Well tried a new everything, downloaded the file again to my spare laptop and used a different cable but same result. It completes and passes the flash but won't boot. I opened a ticket with Oneplus and downloaded their password protected file (instantnoodlet_15_O.14_200820.rar). Looks like it's an older version than what I've been using, Have a mind to pull my ethernet cable after they unzip it so I can save a copy. Will update once they call to remote in.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LLStarks:
Capture the password if you can. We are stumped on the new pattern they are using.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Use a screen recorder and also end the session before they delete the file.

As anyone who's used OnePlus tech support can tell you, I wouldn't want them in my computer for longer than absolutely needed or else who know what would they would screw up
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rzracer2:
Quick update, had a remote flash today with a newer version that what I downloaded here (instantnoodlet_15_O.14_200820.ops). Flash passed successfully but now when it boots you get the quick OP logo and the screen just goes dark and in windows device manager I see Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E in the ports section, pretty sure this is wrong. Tried going into recovery and do the erase everything, no luck. Flashed instantnoodlet_15_O.06_200411.ops again and it reverts back to QUALCOMM Crashdump Mode screen at boot. Ticket opened to send in device for exchange or repair. I picked repair since I have the unlock token for this one. Back to my Pixel 2XL for the time being, glad I kept it for a backup. I did pull my ethernet connection during the session so I could grab a copy of unziped instantnoodlet_15_O.14_200820.ops, did not get the password they used because they pasted the password in and I did have a keylogger running. when I restored the internet connection the session connected again and the person was still there.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stewbag:
Anyway I could get that file?
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rzracer2:

If that's the new .20 version, can you share the link with OP so he can upload it and share it for everyone. I have the files for the .20 version but never was able to figure out the password.

No I did not
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
Maybe try to pm [MENTION=4485845]rzracer2[/MENTION] for the new MSM tool if you really want to have it updated to 10.5.20. He shared it with a couple of us via pm. My guess is another update will be out relatively soon though to try and fix more issues with the SA update.

pls help.. ive done anything flash any version cause i think i brick my in2010 , using msm tool al success but when reboot still crush dump
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
You might have a hardware failure. What was the reason you used the MSM tool in the first place?
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] narkun1029:
i use msm tools because i try to downgrade form android 11 to 10., after it boots in crush dump mode so i use msm tools, everything is success , but the phone is just stock on android logo then off ( im not sure if its off but the screen is black) but i can go to fastboot mode and recovery mode ,

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

if its hardware failure , is it possible that i can still go to fastboot mode and recovery mode?
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Have you tried to boot into bootloader and do a full factory reset? I would try that and then reflash with MSM Tool.

But yours is Chinese version so I am not so sure that you want to be using this firmware. You would want the Chinese firmware.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] narkun1029:
yes i ve tried to do full factory reset and then flash again same results.. maybe i need to flash the original firmware ? can someone have that pls..
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] narkun1029:
yes ive tried to do full factory reset from bootloader then flash again using msm but same results, maybe i need the original Chinese firmware to flash>? but i dont find any chinese version firmware here.. or maybe i need to wait the msmflashable rom base on android 11?
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Try using the other global msm software

If that doesn't work, try a fastboot rom, non stock
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] narkun1029:
thanks for response, i ve tried other global msm tools, same results,, i cant flash rom via fastboot bcoz my bootloader now is lock.. :crying:

is there a way to make edl package myself? can anyone teach me.. i would like to make one from android 11..maybe it will fix my oneplus 8 brick phone..
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
You can't make EDL packages by yourself, they're made and signed by OnePlus. Anyone being able to do so would mean this device is compromized from a security point of view.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] narkun1029:
so i have to wait then? :( i literally flash all firmware here nothing works ..
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
It may be time for you to process a repair or exchange. If you have the tmobile model, contact them.

If you have any other model (minus verizon), you'll have to go through oneplus. I hate to say this cause OnePlus is known for having the WORST customer service, and I can vouch personally that they do.

[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WamWamMiri:
Thank you guys! Quick question, if I'm on T-Mobile 10.5.10 (unlocked, can't receive OTA updates), do I need to flash 10.5.7 and then upgrade or can I just flash 10.5.21 straight away?
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Once you use this tool you will be at the latest software so there will be no ota update to update to.

Otherwise, if you used an older cersion file to flash, you will have to take the ota update before you can even flash twrp much less root cause Tmobile are nazis

[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Seems the fingerprint issue is fixed on this version? .22

I did the MSM back to stock, had fingerprint issue, unlocked bootloader which wiped, setup again and FP reader was fine once updating to .22 OTA.

Unless I missed something somewhere
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaneg79:
The reason is working again is because you unlocked your bootloader if you relock your bootloader it will stop working.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
I don't think that's correct because I had to manually restore the FP file last time on a previous version?

I don't plan to relock my bootloader but if that's true, that really sucks. OP's quality control has gone to hell last few devices
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaneg79:
I know it's correct because it's what happens to me everytime I unlock my bootloader after using msm to go back to stock my fingerprint works without having to restore the file after the first time.

My model is IN2010 not T-mobile

I have encountered exactly the same problem before but OOS 11 msmtool solved my problem a week ago

I'm now on OOS 11 stable and I want to downgrade to OOS 10 stable

but local OTA will cause restart to crash dump mode

I tried OOS 10 MSMtool no errors in the process but after reboot device show up Qualcomm 900E diagnostics mode and black screen

I am sure this is not a hardware problem because it works normally on OOS 11.

I want to know if there is any solution currently?:confused:
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Do you have twrp installed? If so you need to install to both slot a and slot b.

If stock coming from the MSM tool directly, try flashing twrp on both slots cause it sounds like recovery is corrupted somehow because after an ota, android switches to the different slot
