I had the same issues, but fixed once read comments as per above. Let me summarize what I did:

1. installed driver Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (I'm using Windows 10) - driver in a cab file should be unpacked using command expand (with proper switches) to preserve folders.

2. launched MSM DT and had it configured and then pressed Verify\Start, as EDL is available only for very short time - 2-3 secs with screen turned off.

3. as my phone was stuck in booting loop I was just keeping presses Vol+/- waiting for EDL to be entered, MDM will find the phone and start uploading data.

Just don't give up trying.

Hey brothers, I hope you can help this poor man here. I'm a total NOOB! My wife's OP 8 went to Qualcomm CrashDump Mode randomly and she tried to reboot it by holding power+volume up+volume down. It restarted but went back to CrashDump again, she did it thrice. then dead. blackscreen, can't turn on, not charging, no fastboot, no safe recovery. Total dead. I want to unbrick it using MSMtool but even the computer can't detect it. I tried to to the EDL step many times, still nothing. Still dead.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] biggiesmalls657:
Okay so I found that the screen goes black when you flash a different boot image than what firmware you are already on. So like for example, I was on Beta 8 source and flashed a modified boot for magisk instead of booting it and bootlooped. I tried flashing stock 11.0 stable and it kept bootlooping. I used the payload dumper to extract the images I needed and used the flash all from a different zip. I needed the payload.bin for the Beta 8 and it worked instantly because I was using the same kernel source. Also if you can access fastboot or EDL, you are not bricked. A soft brick is a bootloop within Android and is fixable with fastboot binaries or a Recovery. A hard brick is no life such as no fastboot or device doesn't power on like a $1000 paperweight. Good luck, just flash what you were on before you had a soft brick.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] biggiesmalls657:
So holding the three button salute doesn't get you into fastboot? Try vol down and power for 5 seconds then reboot to bootloader from recovery. I don't know much about EDL mode and MSM tool. I've always fixed my devices with fastboot. That's the only way I root if I have a way to stock with the source with fastboot.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] asim KHadka:
I bought my ROG phone 5 from Aliexpress and is tencent version flashed with global. After opening and setting it up, it was working fine and started playing pubg. After about 1 hour, it just died. No warning or anything, just ploof.

It doesn't respond to anything, power, volume +, volume -. Nothing when it's not charging.

But When I plug it into its charger, it does a boot loop.

When charging on the side, it boots up the android logo then the ROG logo but dies right after.

When charging on the bottom, it flashes the android logo and dies.

While it does that I held the volume up button, I can access fastboot and it stays on with the options:

- Start

- Restart bootloader

- Recovery mode

- Power off

I tried every option to no avail.

When I plug out the charger while in fastboot, it dies.

I think the battery connection is fried.

I can't get into edl mode.

Why are you posting about Asus ROG 5 in the OP 8P threads? Please post in the correct forums.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] sombra84:
Reset my password just to say thanks. I've reset and used EDL mode tons of times. Tonight my One Plus 8 would NOT go into EDL mode. I was about to throw it out a window then I came here and realized you gave me the inspiration to make sure my timing was right.

Anyone else with similar issues....

1. If you are in "Crashdump Mode" that is not EDL mode.

2. From Crashdump mode hold vol up + power for about 10 seconds until device is fully off, make sure no cable is connected

3. Press both vol up + vol down and connect the usb cable to you phone and pc, quickly let go, do not keep holding on

My issue was at #3, if you hold them just a bit to long it boots the phone, mine ended up in crashdump mode and it was an endless cycle.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] sombra84:
Also as another side not, I thought it was my drivers because some guides are misleading but on Windows 10 the correct drivers may have different names. For my IN2010 (OnePlus 8 Global) it is, "QUALCOMM HS-USB Diagnostics" in my device manager and that was actually the correct driver, the issue was that I was in crash dump mode and not EDL. When you are in EDL mode your screen will be black and no text will appear but on your pc you will see it in device manager.

EDIT: Well, USB3.0 struck again. I don't own any devices that AREN'T USB3.0, so I borrowed a USB2.0 hub from my neighbor. Worked instantly and now I'm up and running!

I attempted to install Pixelexperience 12, but had the OxygenOS 12 Beta 1 installed. I neglected to restore OxygenOS 11 before installing Pixelexperience's recovery, now I'm dead in the water. When rebooting into recovery after installing it, I got the " The current image(boot/recovery) have been destroyed" message. I've been looking for a recovery to run, and got rid of the error, but now I'm stuck in Fastboot. I cannot get anything to load/install. When installing ANY recovery, it says it worked, then upon rebooting goes right back to Fastboot.

Now I'm trying to get into EDL mode, and it just reboots into fastboot. I've tried over 30 times to get it to go, but still stuck. Any guidance would be GREATLY appreciated!

MSM detects my phone but after 10 seconds, it disconnects again. And then gives me "failed to automatically detect..." something.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] zionxgodkiller:
I messed up and locked my bootloader after wiping everything. Now It only boots into fastboot, no matter what option I choose, and because the bootloader is locked I can't use the all in one tool ore detect it with fastboot.exe. I think I finally killed it. Best phone I ever had and too broke to replace it for a long time. Sad panda.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] graycorgi:
Cannot get this phone to enter EDL mode for the life of me. Wonder if they changed how to do it on A12. I updated my phone to A12 official and stupidly tried to flash a recovery which was apparently designed for stock A11. Now it only reboots into fastboot and the method to enter EDL is not working - the phone always boots into fastboot instead of EDL.

Edit: FINALLY got it to work. It was also a USB 3.0 problem for me. This laptop only has 3.0 ports. The cable I am using is only 2.0 capable, but that's not enough. I had to plug in a 2.0 hub too.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] gaosong2101:
For me, it's the USB 3.0/2.0 issue. And thank you so much for the people above pointing out this!

Spent hours with my current laptop that only has USB 3.0, and have tried both USB 3.0 cable and USB 2.0 cable, and it just always boots me into the fastboot mode as soon as I insert the cable in.

I then tried on my ancient laptop that has a USB 2.0 port, installed the driver, reboot the laptop, and pressed and hold vol+ and - for 2-3 seconds and plug the cable, the device showed up in the Device Manager under "Ports (COM & LPT)"!

Before pressing the volumn buttons and plugging in, I need to click the "Enum" button on the MsmDownloadTool, which will bring up a connection below (e.g. COM3). Then I click "Start" and the connection status now turns into waiting for connection. Now I then started to press Vol+ and - at the same time, for 2-3 seconds, and plug the cable in, and now it started to download! Waited for 300 to 400 seconds, the MsmDownloadTool turns green, and my phone restarted and it was restored to the stock ROM!

And also, for the entire process, before my phone restarts, the screen will be black.

Surely it's not difficult, as long as you got the right driver and USB 2.0 port, it should be fairly easy! But without the USB 2.0 port, you could keep trying forever and still can't get into the EDL mode!

Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I seem to be in the same situation and cant figure out a solution.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Amazingscoops:
Okay, (i created an account just to respond to this) so i spent hours trying to figure out a solution to my problem here , and it turned out to have nothing to do with my inability to press buttons. Instead, my issue turned out to be that windows just didnt install the driver for my phone in edl mode automatically, so it never popped up in my device manager and msm never found it. If your device manager is showing something like "QUSB_BULK" when you plug in your phone, then this is your problem.

Here is the 64-bit version of the driver.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] AkayamiShurui:
So you need to find the temp folder for the MSM tool and completely remove it so the MSM tool can make a new file for your phone as if it never read it before it usually helps it to pick it up if you're still having the problem message me I'll give you an info I have cuz I'm having a similar problem.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] -Mourad-:
I was in a similar position...

I've read somewhere here in the Forum, I'm sorry do not remember where it was,

how to do and finaly I did it.

This is the way I did:

First of all, you have to install the driver.

After that I did this:

1. Start the MSM Tool as others and in my case Target as EU.

2. Now, I switched off the Phone.

3. After it was switched off, I connected the USB cable with the Computer (it was easier for me)

4. Now, I pressed and holded the Volume up+down buttons together and have wait a few seconds

5. After the few seconds I connected the USB cable with the Phone.

6. The MSM Tool should recognize the device and show that it's connected.

If not, push the ENUM button. Now, it should recognize the Phone.

7. Now, you can take of your finger from the Volume buttons.

8. Finally press START. And wait until your Phone restarts. That's it.

I hope I've not forgotten something,

My mistake was, I've waited to see anything on the Display.

But there's nothing to see. The whole time the Phone seems to be switched off until it restarts.

Hope this helps.

This was how I did, maybe it don't helps you. I don't know.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] nikoeuren:
I have now brought my phone back to life twice using the MSM tool. It's fun to tell your spouse that your phone is unusable once again and you cannot be reached for the time being. Then they ask you "what did you do this time?" I have never been able to explain it in layman terms.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] sidehop:
OH MAN, this finally helped, ty!

What also helped to get this far before getting into EDL and all because I flashed the wrong ROM and my 7T had no Wifi. I didn't try putting in my live SIM card but doubt that would've worked; and still would have no Wifi in either case so......:

1. Download the latest 7T driver for my Windows 10 that didn't help

2. Didn't know what EDL was and kept on going into FastBoot

3. Once I figured out what EDL was, my device manager would have "QHUSB_BULK_blah blah" on the driver, which I thought Microsoft's CAB file here would help: https://xdaforums.com/t/op7t-t-mobi...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4004005/

4. Searched more and directly downloaded the driver, rebooted PC: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-qdloader-9008-fix-edl-mode-fix.3980165/

5. Must use USB 2.0 with an aftermarket cable

6. Didn't need to be super precise with hitting both the UP & DOWN volume keys at the same time

7. Had the MSM Tool ready to go with the target dropdown as "TMO"

8. Automatically connected once I pressed the Enum button.

Now I have Wifi back again and back in business w00t!

Hello,

I urgently need help with my Nord 2 5G (DN2101). I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone a while back, it was working fine. However, I made a mistake by trying to flash an unsupported Android version using TWRP, which resulted in complete destruction. Now, my phone is stuck in a restart loop from the Orange State screen. I have tried various methods mentioned in forums, such as entering EDL mode by pressing the Volume+ and Volume- buttons while connecting the USB. The device manager briefly recognizes the COM Port, but then the phone automatically boots up and the connection gets lost. This cycle keeps repeating, preventing me from accessing EDL, Fastboot, Recovery, or any other options.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance as I am in a serious situation.

[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Nightwish1976:
No.

You have either to get rid of the root or reinstall everything.

Try to uninstall Magisk (choose the option to restore boot.img from backup), restart and see if it works. If it does, you can always root again after installing the OTA.

If it doesn't, use the unbirck tool to get back to global, reinstal the Chinese beta (and all your data/apps), upgrade to 3.30, then root again :).

Nopes, no solution.

Official position from my local OnePlus distro (sg) is that this is a minor issue that has no impact on the the phone functionality.

They say it will be fixed in a future update. So for now, just press "Never Show"

You can use adb to remove the software totally if you want. I noticed that this is one of the bloatwares that people removed.

The few days I had the set, I did not see any other issues either. But I returned my set anyway and awaiting approval for refund. Hope that goes through

ooohhh, unlucky. Tinting is another issue that OnePlus say is a property of Amoled screens and not a fault. See their staff member reply:

https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/green-tint.1283979/

This tinting issue has been around since OP8 launch. My Nord did not have tinting issues so I got lucky on that front.

By the way. Have you updated to latest OOS? 10.5.4 I believe? They mitigated the issue somewhat by increasing min brightness if I'm not wrong.

Are you in sg and using sg set? Have you tried using GPay on public transport like SBS & MRT? Thats another issue they have not fixed for OP8 sg sets but we dont know if it affects Nord or not. Supposedly fix incoming with OOS 11

If you set is new and bought from official OP store online, make the call while the platform's return policy is in force. OP will not likely agree to exhange or refund you since they do not see these as grounds for exchange/refund so you have to go through the platform CSO.

[Xiaomi Mi Play Questions & Answers] MasterLog80:
Hello,

Suddenly, just 1 month after the end of warranty my Xiaomi Mi Play stopped working showing "The system has been destoryed" message on recovery. I have read some articles and I have found that this could be fixed by flashing the ROM, but my problem is that bootloader is locked and I kept in this way for security purposes.

I know I can use the target app (https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html) to unlock it, but it also need some steps at android level (per attached image), which I don't have access anymore.

So my question is: add my account for unlock the unlocking permission is something which is at phone or at account level?

I mean, if it's something at the phone level there is no way to fix, but if it's at account level, I may fix the issue by using another Xiaomi device.

Can someone please clarify to me, or may I have any hints please?

[Xiaomi Mi Play Questions & Answers] taken_0404:
Hello,

I ran into the same issue a couple of months ago. I was EU rom using mi flash and accidentally selected the 'clean and lock' option. There are a few ways you could try to fix your phone:

1. If you have a mi account that is registered to the phone, you could login to mi unlock using that account and try unlocking the bootloader and then flash using mi flash.

2. If you don't have a registered mi account then your options are pretty limited. You could try a go to a service center but like me there might not a one in your region. The only other option edl test point. There are many people, mostly russian or indian, who have an authorized mi account and are selling their services. A quick youtube search and you'll find many options. They remotely connect to your computer and use their authorized account to unlock your bootloader and flash the factory rom. They usually charge anything from 25 to 30 usd.

There is a way you could apply for authorization from mi but judging from the many forums it is vary rare to get a reply let alone get authorized.

Unfortunately there is no other way to Unbrick your device until now.
