[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] publich:
I am trying to unlock the bootloader of the oneplus 6T I have. After got the unlock tocken(.bin) file from Oneplus support, I did the command:

./fastboot flash cust-unlock ../unlock_code.bin

Sending 'cust-unlock' (0 KB) OKAY [ 0.005s]

Writing 'cust-unlock' ^C

^C^C^C^C^C^C

So the fastboot program is hung when writing to the bootloader flash flash I guess. After powering down the phone, I can't power it up anymore -- the bootloader is dead (bricked).

I hope someone had this experience before can shed me some light or point me to some posts.

Updates:

I got this pointer: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-gt-i9100g-repair-totally-sleep-dead-boot-mode-via-usb.1701471/ But it is for OMAP based.

Oneplus6T uses Qualcomm “Snapdragon” series of SoC

Got this thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-6t-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-59-oos-v9-0-13.3867448/ -- will update on this one

As a courtesy, I am hrer to update with a resolved status so that others can be aware of:

1) Google online for a more intuitive introduction and step by step guide on how to use MSM tool to update bootloader(s). There are multiple stages of bootloading and each has one bootloader.

2) It is not hard to get the MSM tool to see the device connected. But it is common that the tool can't update the device bootloaders/images, with the error "Sahah protocol ... " type of message. THe reason I guess is the following.

3) It is very hard to be sure if your device is in EDL mode just right for the MSM tool to talk to. I don't know what stage the device has to be in for the MSM to work correctly. It is very hard to even know what stage the device is in. SO VERY SADLY, it is a try and error and retry game. Many suggested things to try but I found the most useful one is the volume up and down button pressed together and then with power button, ALL THREE pressed for some seconds after the device is powered down. But you don't even know how long it takes to power down the device .... etc. So try the all three button procedure as many as you, with luck you will be able to see that the MSM tool will start to update.

4) I am brandnew noob in the android world. There are so much to learn about this giant world of android-ing. There are so many terms (technical/no-tech), versions of kernel/OS/Apps/Framework/devices/vendors/ROMs/etc. Instructions online are very helpful, but some of them are obsolete (be careful). Some of them are not detailed enough and some of them are just an experience of one try and some of them ..... it is not as straight forward as you imagined (as always in the software/hardware world).

5) I still am not sure what caused the failure of my first try to unlock the 6T. I guess it is due to the fact that I did it on Linux and it hasn't got an update driver. Eventually I did the unlock on Windows 10.

I want to flash a custom ROM on my Redmi 7. Since many options aren't available, i want to know which is the most stable ROM available for my device.
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] :
Try this one Xiaomi.eu based on latest china-beta-stable with Android Q(10)
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] Kuchayhilal:
I want to try stock android, suggest the most stable ROM. Low features are okay for me.
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] :
In that case, try https://paranoidandroid.co/downloads/onc . I personally used it for long time and found it to be one of the best among the custom roms for redmi 7.
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] Darth Bidder:
I use the official LOS 17.1. It's mostly stable and has up-to-date security patch. It might be a bit barebones when it comes to customizations.

Then there's Paranoid Android, I haven't tested this one but you should take a look at it.
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] loveass:
Is this actually android 10 or is it only with android 9, i want to confirm this from you because i dont want to flash a rom so many times
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] :
Lineage OS 17.1 is the most stable and fast ROM you can probaby flash. However if you want Android 11 I would recommend PixysOs, I'm using it as my daily driver and have no issues with stability or speed.
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] Benjamin0702:

[LG G8X ThinQ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] #Rooty_Mikes#:
vol down + power and when the screen resets and goes black start pumping the power button repeatedly + vol down till the white screen appears and ask you do you want to do a factory reset, select "Yes" and might prompt you two more times just keep selecting "Yes" . Guess its a backdoor method to TWRP.... works fine for me. Keep in mind if you use a reboot-recovery app or anything that uses reboot recovery via adb script you WILL NOT have touch screen abilities and will have to use a mouse, so i would suggest the button method every time.

Thank you. 😊

I have a really weird question. Does the Restore feature work?

I tested restoring a backup I made but after restoring my device bricked. Then I tried with different backups (Clean Stock/Stock with personal data) and different partition combinations but i get the same result no matter what; it bricks.

What is the cause for this? is it related to the device not being officially supported by TWRP or is it because you must toggle or flash something before/after restoring the backup? Is it related to Disable Dm-Verity?

I'm not asking how to bring back the device, but I wanna be able to do so using TWRP you know? getting back my apps and configs without much trouble.

Any idea? please.

I need help to I have a lm850qm boot unlocked. I've followed the twrp install over and over it installs fine i flash the dm-ver and magisk format data and all that but when I reboot it makes it to the boot image and just stays there forever or least 15 min before it off what am i missing
[LG G8X ThinQ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] humnar:
OK well thank you no one that helped me. BUT I GOT IT WORKING!!!

I lguped pie to it and backuped the two boot files with qfil rooted them with magisk and unchecked the preserve force encryption option. Then flashed them back.

Next I flashed twrp and magisk, rebooted into twrp and formatted data then rebooted back into twrp and flashed dm-ver and magisk.

It booted to setup works perfect im doing a nandroid back right now.

As you upgrade with new firmware, you will loose the twrp and root. Need to install those again.
[LG G8X ThinQ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] foenicxxx:
The procedure is, after DM Verity flash from TWRP, just to reboot to system. The device remains rooted and TWRP stays, boots normally.

I do appreciate it but this is useless. I got same file from the thread that wasn't linked to. My problem is that I need a img or bin file! I need twrp for the initial flash! If you would back recovery up using twrp after its properly flashed and post that.

Apparently t-mobile senme a 820 that was flashed w/ 850. I got bootloader unlocked but am stuck without root. Before it's said no fast boot won't flash zip and where I unlocked bootloader it messed up the touchscreen. I also now no longer have access to adb.

I need the twrp binary as you would find on twrp.me.
[LG G8X ThinQ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] doctorman:
there is no such a thing for this phone,

I dont think G8 can be flashed with G8x rom

G8 and G8x do not have fastboot unless you flash engineered abl partition via EDL

it seems like you dont have the patience to read ordo what is needed. go to telegram and pay the unlocking service few $ let them do it for you.

you have no touch on G8 after bootloading because you left engeered abl partition in placey , you have to go back to original abl

I guess I will do it your way. Then I'll come back start a new thread and post the correct files. I'm not spending more as I traded an XB1 4 this 💩. That's all I'm paying.

I do appreciate the assistance and yes I did flash back the files. I used a different guide. It didn't seem to matter. Regardless this is not typical practice to post a zip VS a Binary backup! I guess that's why LG is out of the market now! I've had many a LG v20, V30, Samsung S2, Note 3, Note 5, Note 9 & Note 10 Plus. More that I cannot even recall. None required or forced the use of a zip 4 TWRP. I suspect that is the Main reason for None being posted to twrp.me as officially or unofficial! Seriously that's a lame excuse. U didn't do it right.

That's only the way to get to the recovery along with working touch.

If not, make use of adb to get to the recovery and use a Bluetooth mouse with OTG adaptor to have control over the recovery actions.

This TWRP ZIP file causes the Kernel to break, causing an LGE Kernel Crash to always show up after 2 reboots. TWRP also in general will not work unless if it apparently gets booted up via Fastboot Mode by selecting the option to reboot into Recovery mode and Touchscreen will not work but USB OTG Mouses will work. Can someone fix this ZIP file?

Model - LM-G850UM (Canadian Model)

Software Version - G850UM40C

Bootloader Unlocked - Yes

If anyone experiences this same thing, extract any KDZ file (I think any) meant for your Model, reboot into EDL mode, then flash system_a, system_b, boot_a, and boot_b from the folder where the extracted KDZ files are. Also, download mode no longer works and will show up as a Routine Safety Check Fail (Red Case) message.
