Will this work for the T-Mobile OnePlus 8T+ or only the unlocked version?

If it does work I guess I'll have to wait for my bootloader unlock code from OnePlus before doing this, or will this bypass it? (I'm already SIM unlocked but Everytime I try to request a Bootloader unlock code and press submit it tells me to enter a valid code, OP claims it's because it's not yet 45 days from when I purchased the device, which doesn't make sense)

#3 I don't see the link anywhere where I can download the MSM tool, it says download tool but does give a link

Thanks for your great work
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
MSM tools don't care about bootloader lock status. So IF, and that's an IF until we hear otherwise, it works with our model, you won't need to be bootloader unlocked before running it.

I personally won't do anything until we also have the T-Mobile MSM tool as well.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] SmileBigNow:
Assuming it works, will I be able to go with the version of the MSM tool from TMO to International OS or I'll need to wait for the TMO MSM tool and load the International OS into that MSM tool and get it done that way?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] fxz:
Great job getting hold of these, vouch!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Not sure. It wasn't possible with the 7T Pro because the device name was different (hotdog vs hotdogg). OP would be better able to answer this.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] SmileBigNow:
I'd assume it's the same here as well, because recent years were always that the case and I'll be surprised if it's not the case here as well, so I guess I'll wait a bit longer for the T-Mobile MSM Tool
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
We were able to convert the 7 Pro back and forth. Not sure about the 7T or 8.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
[MENTION=3587171]SmileBigNow[/MENTION] you need to open the spoilers to see the download links

Additionally above files are strictly intended for unlocked units and cannot be used for conversion, however I got the file to unbrick T-Mobile variant as well, but I would prefer if someone could confirm it flash on their device before releasing it, feel free to DM me on here or Telegram (link on my profile). Note that I prefer latter.

If it works I will make a separate thread for it.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] zeusofyork:
I have the same issue. OnePlus reps couldn't wrap their head around that I'm already network unlocked... Kept saying I needed to wait the 45 days which is complete horse****. I had my 7t unlocked within a week and bootloader unlocked in 2. I get the same invalid unlock code error. Good God. They even tried to tell me "the unlock code TMO gave you is bad..." Like dude...I got the **** FROM THE PHONE ?*♂️
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
So did you attempt to use the MSM tool w/o unlocking the bootloader?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] SmileBigNow:
Yeah, it doesn't even make any sense the 45 days wait, the 45 days is usually to get a SIM unlock from T-Mobile not a unlock code from OP, they are just coming up with stupid excuses

You have the T-Mobile exclusive variant as per your post in https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-8t/how-to/op8t-unbrick-tool-to-restore-device-to-t4180981/post83784625

You have to use the T-Mobile tool.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] zeusofyork:
Exactly... The OnePlus reps are getting especially ****ing retarded right now. You think they'd know the process well enough to know that if we are SIM unlocked we don't need to wait the 45

This tool just saved my butt. Thank you!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lost Dog:
It can be picky... Took me several tries to get the timing / combo right.

The MSM tool only recognized the device briefly so I needed to be quick with starting the process.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] raptor2017:
I haven't. Where would I download them from?

Also, as soon as I connect the usb cable to computer, my phone boots up into FastBoot mode. Is the supposed to happen?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] raptor2017:
Can you explain a little more in detail as to how?

Thanks

UPDATE......

Holy Cows Baby. It's working!!!! Hope this works. Took your advice and tried different combo's and it did it.

Hi all

I need to unbrick my 8T and it is recognized as correct device in Windows10 if I get it into EDL mode. But I believe I must be running wrong MSM Download tool since it does not ask me for the logon prompt as documented in OP. I tried running as Administrator too.

So here my question: where do I find the correct MsMDownloadTool V4.0.exe ?

Also it is not clear to me at what moment in time one chooses kebab_15_E.12_201113.zip as file. But maybe that becomes clear once I pass logon prompt.

Thanks for helping me out...

update:

the msm tool is in the kebab zip itself :-) ... let me try and see

success:

I tried to downgrade my KB2001 from 11.0.6.8 _DA to 11.0.6.7 _DA in order to crossflash to Global ROM 11.0.6.8 AA.

I got stuck at blank screen after entering EDL mode with MSM Tool showing "Waiting for Device!"

No matter how many times I tried . It kept showing the same "Waiting for device"!

Ended up that I had to press All-3-buttons to jump into the Recovery Mode to reset my phone!

Where did I do wrong? I have QC drivers installed!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] kjslabber:
Try different port on your pc or different cable. Makes big difference sometime. On my pc I find using usb2 port works better for msm.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] kelvintisw:
Okay! I had tried different ports on the same PC but had yet to tried other cables and on other PC. :cool:

My KB2001 DA Indian set is now running on Global _AA rom! :whistle:
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] kelvintisw:
I'm not sure if anyone noticed it!

Coming from the Indian ROM, switched to Global rom and WOW! :eek:.....The Global rom is so so so much snappier than the India ROM! I'm stunt with the superb performance of the Global rom! :eek:
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Qnorsten:
I see that updated msm tools have been found and uploaded for the TMO version.

Is there no newer msm tools released by oneplus for BA and AA roms? Or have they just not been "leaked" yet?

Just asking out of curiosity, as I am unsure how people like @Some_Random_Username actually get hold of these, as I haven't seen oneplus post them publicly anywhere.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
I will upload .6.8 BA and DA whenever I'm free (maybe next week or before), but I'm not aware of .6.8 AA MSM
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] p181153:
I have Indian firmware, I want Global, I downloaded Global and when I try to flash MSM tell me "Unsupported Target IN". It's not possible to do this anymore ?? I used to this on my OnePlus 7 Pro...

edit: ok found it we use OxygenOS local update to rebrand.

I always used MSM tool to switch different firmwares, i'm dumb.

It might help for ppl not understanding this on the first place:

1- Don't update OxygenOS to the last version. If you done this, use this tool to downgrade to a previous version OxygenOS11 of your current firmware

2- Download the last OxygenOS version of the firmware you want on the official website

3- Do a local update from OxygenOS, it actually allow updating on a different firmware
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] kelvintisw:
You have got the whole concept wrong in the first place.

You should had downloaded the MSMTool for India.

The purpose of the MSMTool is for downgrading your India firmware and not for upgrading to the Global firmware.

Read the step s again in page 1. :)
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lussardi:
Use International version MSM Tool and use latest unbrick tool
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] kelvintisw:
One question. This is the status of my set at the moment:

KB2001 (Indian set with original Indian_DA rom) > Flashed to Global_AA rom now.

Let's say if one day I want to flash back to Indian_DA rom from my current Global_AA rom.

Which MSMTool (AA/EU/DA) should I use to downgrade? I'm just not sure the MSMTool is tagged to the Model or ROM?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Qnorsten:
I think it is tagged to the model and not the rom.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] kelvintisw:
Yes! I guess so! It makes sense from the technical point of view!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] alanzaki073:
MSM tool is based on the ROM and can be crossed flashed across the various unlocked models. I have the KB2001 (IN variant) and I have used the Global, EU and IN MSM tool on my device and all of them work.

If you want to flash the IN ROM use the corresponding MSM tool.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] kelvintisw:
Ohh! I see! :whistle: .

So, for my case! of KB2001 running on AA rom 6.8. now. If I wanna flash back to DA rom 6.8. I will use MSMTool_DA(IN) to downgrade to DA rom 5.6 and then Local Update to the latest DA rom 6.8.

Got it! Thanks! :whistle: (y)
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Unbandit:
Losing my mind here, absolutely nothing seems to be working.

I initially downloaded the international msm before I realised I had a kb2000. I'm able to see the correct looking device in device manager (it seems to grab the driver directly from Windows update) so I believe I have the correct driver. I can see the msm pick up the phone in different ports when I hit enum. The screen stays blank when plugged in so I'm pretty sure I'm in EDL mode too. But - running the msm tool just sits at "waiting for device". I've tried rebooting out of EDL mode and back in, and I've tried a number of times to connect and start msm with various timings.

I also tried the kb2000 msm from https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=320230, but it just exits straight after trying to log in as "other" with an error message "Packed image not exist!". I've confirmed the integrity of the download and extracting it again. Both the .exe and the Win7.exe exhibit the same behaviour.

The only thing I haven't tried is Windows 10, as I only have a Windows 7 installation handy.

Any ideas welcome.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Alexisd1:
Try to delete the drivers( from the device manager(And the hidden drivers from the Ports(COM&LPT)

Reinstall the QUALCOMM usb host drivers( https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=10763459528675593342 ) and try with this way . As for the error packed image not exist try to launch the msm tool without extract it. I have used this ways and maybe can can help you
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Unbandit:
Cool, I didn't know about the drivers on the ports, will try that. I'll also try the USB host drivers.

I don't think this is possible; the download is in 7z format and Windows can't even natively open them let alone execute directly from it. I guess I can try executing it from the 7z browser?

Also, are you able to confirm if you used Win7 or Win10?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Alexisd1:
I have used all of the msm tools to windows 10 pc and I am using every time WinRar. I am doing all the process without extracting it. I had the same problem with the compressed file error Packed image not exist and I thought that from the moment that I am unzipping it is unzipped. So I will have to keep it as it is(Compressed-Packed). Give it a try you don't lose anything. Last thing about the ports. If you cant find the hidden driver Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in the device manager it means that you haven't installed the drivers(They are posted in my previous post) and this is why your oneplus cant be detected from your pc. So install the drivers, restart the pc and after that run the msm without unzipping it( Try with WinRar ).
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Unbandit:
Ah, you were right on both counts. Thank you so much.

For anyone that has similar problems:

I was in fact having driver problems. I think the USB host drivers fixed the connection, because it immediately looked different in both MSM and Device Manager. Device Manager was previously complaining about an unsigned driver, but I had disabled driver signing verification so I thought it was all good. Once I installed the host drivers, it no longer had any complaints. MSM clearly showed the device was connected as soon as I plugged it in, rather than just detecting the COM port.

You were also right about WinRAR vs. 7z. 7z has no errors when unzipping the file and even doing a validation on it, but the chinese MSM immediately worked when running directly from WinRAR.

I actually got a few errors when running the kb2000 MSM but I think I just didn't properly boot in to EDL. I ended up running the international MSM anyway as a few people have mentioned they've done, which so far seems fine🤞

edit: LineageOS booting on my KB2000! Thanks again.

Hello, could you please tell me if my situation is a brick device?

I followed this guide at the part called :

Root OnePlus 8T using Magisk (without TWRP) and Install OTA Updates

A complete guide to root OnePlus 8T using Magisk, without TWRP recovery. Also, learn how to install OxygenOS OTA updates on rooted OnePlus 8T.

www.thecustomdroid.com

Installing OxygenOS OTA Updates on Rooted OnePlus 8T

I've downloaded the latest OTA via the Updater up and not from the phone updates because I had XXX magsik rom on my phone. After I finish the phone rebooted to this mode!

The only thing that I can do now is to click vol up and down and phone button to go into fastboot mode an then to recovery mode, but I cant reboot back my phone normally.

Could you please let me know what the current situation means, regarding all the data that is one my phone? can I somehow flash a rom and go back to how it was before? Is root gone?

Thank you!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] saar17:
Regraidng this:

While crossflashing does not seem to break your /persist unlike on 8-series, it is advised that you back it up before attemting to do so as fingerprint reader may give an error related to enrollment issue. You can do so by using dd if=/mnt/vendor/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img (you must have root access, which is not something I'm going to explain here) and moving it to your computer/cloud.

Could someone please tell me where I can find a guide to do that? Sorry for all the questions it is the first time this thing happened to me.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Qnorsten:
Make sure you have root access. Make sure you have usb debugging enabled. Connect phone to computer.

On your computer in command prompt/terminal do adb shell and then paste the command

dd if=/mnt/vendor/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img

Move the file named persist.img from your SD card to your computer (or somewhere else safe that is not on your phone)
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] saar17:
Thank you,

Can anyone with KB2000 model comment or compare (I have KB2003 model)? Which system ID does DRM Info show?

update: oops! my KB2003 also dropped back from L1 to L3 (perhaps because of recent 11.0.6.9 to 11.0.7.10 upgrade?). It did keep L1 right after upgrade though... but later it dropped...

MSM Download Tool didn't list any com ports. Device manager showed Com Port - QHUSB_BULK. Both driver links on OP didn't work (.cab files), so I tried the .exe Installer & now Device Manager lists QDLOADER 900E (requires rebooting PC to finalize).

QDLoader HS-USB Driver_64bit_Setup

Successful unbricking!

BTW, this phone was TOTALLY bricked. No combination of Vol Up/Down + Pwr would do anything other that buzz at reboot. It stopped going to Qualcomm crash mode, wouldn't even go to Fastboot anymore. Black screen no matter what. Dead dead.

Unbricking relocked bootloader, which is good to know in case you want total factory new rom state.

Hope this helps anyone having difficulties. Big thanks to Some_Random_Username (y)(y)

hi... iv got a KB2003 EU Model...and ive also updated to 11.0.7.10.before ive startet (unsuccessfull) to install lineageOS-

I´ve got a error message by flashing the system.img --> "Not enough space to resize partition"

so after that (and after a few more stupid actions later) my 8T startet only in the Startscreen

in which you can select bootloader/recoveryMode/Shutdown and so on...

never mind...what was I going to say?:

I was able to unbrick my T8 with the OOS 11.0.5.6 File from Site1 although i´´ve updated to 11.0.7.10 before.

Ive got also problems with the msm-Tool that didnt find my device. either it was because usb-port 2.0 and 3.0 are different and only usb 2.0 will work, or because of the tool from

OTAx1 / QDLoader HS-USB Driver_64bit_Setup that list my Com-Ports.

finally it worked out..Puh :)

let's see when I will make the next attempt with LineageOS
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] mad4some:
Is this supposed to work if you are bricked on a custom rom?......I've done everything (I think:rolleyes:), I see QDLOADER 9008 in manager and can use adb and boot fastboot (so being recognized by pc) but all MSM tools shows is "waiting for device". I also tried "adb reboot edl" and can see the phone go to blank screen, but nothing changes in the tool......
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] kjslabber:
Try different usb port on your PC. MSM should list the ports on you PC. I always try to use a usb2 port. Have less problems for some reason.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] OTAx1:
Yes. Look in Device Manager for what port the phone is using. Click that one in MSM Tool. Make sure after entering EDL mode to quickly click Enum. Keep holding Vol Up & Down, then PWR once. It should work on any 8T even with custom ROM. Takes a lot of finger dancing....
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] mad4some:
Success!! finally :D ok, easy to get confused here...there is no mention of clicking Enum button in OP instructions and after some youtubes yesterday I saw people getting into EDL differently than what's presented here. But I have good news that should help others with this crazy "finger dancing". I switched to another older PC that obviously fixed my USB/recognize device issue I was having but can confirm that after opening MSM Tool, selecting "others", target O2 and clicking Start and with the cable already plugged in, all I did was open adb command and type: "adb devices" (to make sure serial # shows) and then "adb reboot edl".......and that was it!! Program started right away doing it's thing with no finger dancing at all. Hope this might help! Cheers (y)
