@lzgmc, thanks.

How does this "remote session" with OP work? Does one report that the phone is bricked, and then they send you the tool which you execute? Or do they run the tool in real time using a remote desktop tool, but then one has to somehow capture their MSMDownlod tool using some other tool? Do they not try to delete the downloaded tool?

If you could share your detailed experience of this "remote session", and how to capture the MSMDownload tool, it would be of tremendous help. I don't own a retail/unlocked N200, but your experience can perhaps help those who have one, in getting the MSMDownload tool for the retail version. It would benefit the Tmobile users too, in finding a way to potentially convert Tmobile version to retail version. Thanks!
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] nache2001:
Can you upload the tool please mine is bricked after crash dump

Bootloader is locked i can't flash a patched rom, thanks anyway.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] jilebi:
That is a pity. The MSMDownload Tool seems to be the only way to fix this.

The good news is that the MSMDownload Tool is now available with Oneplus support, as of today e.g. until last week, folks out here posted that Oneplus support did not have the tool released to them. Perhaps you can contact Oneplus support and request a "remote session" to unbrick it similar to what @lzgmc did, and get your phone un-bricked sooner? If you do so, try to grab a copy of the MSMDownload Tool that they use in the session and share it with others out here. I am sure @lzgmc will post it soon, but no harm in having multiple copies available.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] jilebi:
@lzgmc Do you happen to recall which version of Oxygen OS the MSMDownlod tool is for? 11.0.1.4 or 11.0.1.5?
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
11.0.1.5

Oh yeah here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MCQwFabFYXZqw1xGT0P8-PV6FV2Fnj-V/view?usp=sharing

If I read things right: If you downloaded from Mega, you have the corrupted version; if you downloaded from GDrive, you have the working one.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] jilebi:
Very nice, @lzgmc Thank you so much!

Can you share your experience of how one captures the MSMDownload tool in a remote session?
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
The GDrive one is the one that works.

They emailed me a link to a Chinese file hosting service, similar to Google Drive or MediaFire. It was protected with a password, which I was given in the same email. After that, I downloaded the file from that file hosting service.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] jilebi:
Got it. So they don't log into one's machine using a "remote session"? It is just download and then self-service?
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
No, they're asking you to download the files in advance, then schedule an appointment to get your phone fixed. During the appointment, the tech guy logs onto your computer and uses the MSM tools.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] jilebi:
I just downloaded the file from the GDrive link. I am getting a "Data Error" when using 7zip to extract, "Incomplete data" when using Winzip, and WinRAR just hangs when opening the file. What is everybody else using to extract the file?

I then re-downloaded the file a second time, assuming it got corrupted the first time while downloading. But I am getting same errors for the second downloaded file too. The file size is identical in both downloaded files of 3,475,032,475 bytes

@lzgmc can you please share the the MD5 and SHA256 checksums of the file that works for you and which Windows archiver you used?

The file I downloaded has MD5 checksum of bacdf97421c5a2ebc3312be1787cb76c and SHA256 checksum of 726549d053902029bbe23973046f6bc75da4e6a5b12c2ee97910c85f36207890
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] PopCaps1996:
i used winzip pro
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] jilebi:
Thanks. I used Wizip eval version, but it did not work.

Can you please share the file size and the MD5 or SHA256 checksum of the file you successfully extracted from? That will narrow it down to whether it is a download issue or an extractor issue.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Metconnect2000:
Just FYI. I got data corruption too. So it's not just you.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] nv270:
I was able to unzip the file downloaded from Gdrive in Mac.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] edale1:
Use Winrar, 7zip can't handle .tar.bz2 files. It takes several minutes for Winrar to open the file.

I grabbed the MSM tools from the GDrive link, unpacked, and rezipped it as a .7z file. I'm in the middle of uploading to Mega, but it's going to take around 2 hours to finish uploading. I'll post a link when it's done.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] mingkee:
Try androidfilehost
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] nv270:
Delete
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] edale1:
I don't have an account there, but I'll see what I can do when it's done uploading to Mega. How long it's taking has more to do with my internet connection than the file host (I average around 300 KB/s for uploads).
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] mingkee:
7zipper can unpack it in Android
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
The md5 for the archive on my computer is bacdf97421c5a2ebc3312be1787cb76c, sha256 is 726549d053902029bbe23973046f6bc75da4e6a5b12c2ee97910c85f36207890

I use Linux, and I was able to extract the archive just fine on my PC with my distro's file manager (after 15 minutes of my CPU being at 100% utilization), but I could see why Windows tools would have problems extracting those archives since .tar.bz2 archives are uncommon outside of Unix/Linux systems. For now, just keep trying to extract the archive and use different programs.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] nv270:
nvm
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] edale1:
If it helps, I'm on Windows 10 x64, and the version of WinRar that I used to successfully extract the files was v6.01 (64-bit).

Still showing about 2 hours to finish my upload to Mega.

On the plus side for when I'm done uploading, my .7z is only 2.6 GB, which is 0.6-1 GB smaller than the other copies up here so far.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] nv270:
Thank you for sharing and guiding us. Cheers
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] jilebi:
The MD5 and SHA256 matches mine, which confirms that it is an extractor issue. The file on the Gdrive link is good.

I can confirm what @lzgmc shared above - I used bzip2 under Linux and the file decompresses fine. It also explains why Mac users are able to decompress, with MacOS being Unix-based.

In summary,

- for Unix-based systems use bzip2/tar or "tar -xvjf filename.tar.bz2" or any local Linux file manager

-for Windows, user WinRAR even if takes a long time (thanks to @edale1) or WinZip (thanks to @PopCaps1996). 7zip does not seem to work.

Alternately, wait for @edale1 to complete upload of 7zip compatible archive of the tool.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Ethanvio:
Can anyone confirm .... this works with t-mobile only ... or ... thanks

P.s. I have a full paid one. I really appreciate the sharing and all the work for uploading the file so others can use it ❤
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
If you bought from T-Mobile or Metro: Use the tool that I linked

If you bought from OnePlus: Contact OnePlus support

T-Mobile Variant MSM Tools .7z archive:

2.69 GB folder on MEGA

3 files

mega.nz

I've included a .md5 and .sfv file in the folder to verify the archive after downloading (they just check the .7z, NOT the extracted files).

All basic "I'm not responsible if you brick your phone with this" warnings apply... Even if they're a bit 'closing the barn door after the horse got out' as far as the intended end-users are concerned, lol.

*edit- I created an account on androidfilehost, and requested dev status. Once that clears I'll upload a copy to there as well.

[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] jilebi:
@Gip-Gip Have you contacted Oneplus support? You can get the correct version of the MSMDownload Tool for your version by requesting a remote session to fix your issue, similar to how @lzgmc described in post above. They should then send you a link to the tool for your phone version. If you do, please don't to forget to share the tool for helping others who might be in the same boat!

[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] sheesh42:
ah my bootloader is still locked and its bricked
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] edale1:
I could be wrong, but I believe if your bootloader is still locked, your only option is the MSMDownload Tools.

We don't have those for the Metro variant yet. You could try contacting OnePlus customer support and requesting a remote session to repair your phone, that will get you a copy of the MSMDownload tools (please share them) for your variant.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
I believe that the Metro and T-Mobile variants are actually the exact same phone, since they both share the same codename. I would say that users with Metro devices should try flashing the T-Mobile MSM tools if they need to unbrick their phone. If it works, the phone should still be Metro branded anyway.

In addition, while looking around through the MSM files, I found a string of code that suggests that the T-Mobile, Metro, and Assurance (Sprint?) branded phones all use the same software:

<SupportMultiTarget>
<Target ID="108" Desc="ASSURANCE" />
<Target ID="106" Desc="METRO" />
<Target ID="101" Desc="TMO" />
</SupportMultiTarget>
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] sheesh42:

[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] bouyakasha:
Praying the unlocked variant MSM surfaces soon... I have requested a remote session last week and they denied me, forced me to send it in. I didn't do that, requested another remote session today. We will see if they finally allow it.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Ethanvio:

[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] oCAPTCHA:
My OnePlus Nord N200 unlocked variant self soft-bricked, but I fixed it, here's the story:

I updated the software using the system update OTA, allowed it to reboot, and it said the update was done.

(However, it was not, as the second slot merge update is done silently in the background, as part of the seamless A/B model.)

I then allowed oem unlocking, rebooted the phone, and used fastboot to unlock the bootloader.

The phone automatically wiped some partitions as part of the unlock, but was then stuck in fastboot or fastbootd mode upon reboot(s).

I contacted OnePlus, but they were not willing to remotely fix my device (release the MSM tool) and instead wanted me to ship the phone to them.

We have the full OTA download available from OnePlus:

Software Upgrade - OnePlus.com

Get the latest OxygenOS updates for your device.OxygenOS is always evolving. Learn about the latest features and improvements, and get even more out of your device.

www.oneplus.com

and we can use payload_dumper python scripts by Gregory Montoir to extract the individual .img files from the OTA.

How to Extract Stock Boot.img from OnePlus OxygenOS Stock ROM

In this tutorial, we will show you how to extract the stock boot.img from OnePlus OxygenOS stock ROM and use it for rooting via Magisk

www.droidwin.com

payload_dumper

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

www.mediafire.com

but the important ones (system, vendor, etc) are not flashable in fastboot (only) mode due to the use of dynamic partitions (super.img). (see my edit at the bottom)

Forcing the merge to complete did not work, switching slots did not work, nor did reflashing boot.img fix it.

It turns out bundling the seamless A/B partitions together into a single dynamic partition ruins the redundancy of the seamless A/B model!

Finally, I took the idea from PopCaps1996:

https://xdaforums.com/t/metro-11-0-...ot-magisk-patched-boot-imgs-included.4323439/

and used another Nord N200 phone which was working, to download and run Partitions backup & restore.

Partitions Backup & Restore - Apps on Google Play

Backup your important partitions to avoid any data or IMEI corruption

play.google.com

This app has the ability to extract the super.img in its entirety from a working phone, and fastboot is able to flash this image directly into the dynamic partitions. (make sure you update to the latest fastboot).

take the super.tar.gz from Partitions backup and untar/ungzip it to the .img.

Copy it to the computer and fastboot flash it.

fastboot flash super super.img.

That fixed it for me!

So for those who have working fastboot, an unlocked bootloader, and can get the super.img (3.2GB tar.gzip) you can recover your phone like I did!

Edit:

I completed my recovery in fastboot mode only, but there is the ability to reboot into fastbootd mode (recovery mode with fastbootd), which is able to handle the dynamic partitions, and may work from the OTA .img files directly, avoiding the need for an extracted super.img file.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Michaelburrola:
Hi "oCAPTCHA" I also have The Global Unlocked N200 and I am experiencing the same exact issue. I been up for 3 Nights surfacing resolutions but I fastbootd doesn't allow flashing the system ( No Partition error ).... I tried Just about everything but it seems you solved the issue.

Oppo A93 MSM

Isn't this a rebranded Oppo A93? Any chance this would work for the bootloader locked, unlocked version?
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Jaybone073:
I have a soft bricked device from an update issue as well. After thoroughly reading your post I have discovered I have several missing partitions. Mainly every single one necessary for the successful flashing of system, product, vendor, odm, and system ext.

When attempting to create the partitions in fastbootd I get the return of "expected argument" without being able to create the partitions to flash the images to super rendering the device stuck in fastboot.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] oCAPTCHA:
Jaybone073,

Are you sure that you are using a recent Fastbootd?

(if using linux, run your terminal in the downloaded folder, and run the local version of fastboot using ./fastboot instead of the older version installed system wide from a repo)

The older versions of Fastboot do not understand virtual / logical partitions, so would give this result of them missing.

You can't be missing every single virtual partition and still have a semi-working soft-bricked phone.

I accidentally flashed vendor with a nearly blank image while working on GSI's, (Why did google bundle a vendor.img with their AOSP GSI?) and it hard-bricked my device. Without the drivers in vendor, the phone would only go so far as the unlocked bootloader warning, despite the other partitions being correct (only EDL mode would boot).

Your phone must have a working boot.img and vendor.img for you to have working fastbootd recovery environment.

I sent that hard bricked phone into OnePlus a few days ago, after confirming again that they still will not release their MSM tools for the retail / unlocked variant.

Here is a good source for fastboot.

Once you get Fastbootd working, you can simply flash the partitions from the OTA. If you have a backed up super.img, you could flash that instead using regular Fastboot mode.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Jaybone073:
I do not have a backed up super.img I am guessing that it is unique to each device and cannot be flashed via fastboot

Also my device info shows this:

(bootloader) Verity mode: true

(bootloader) Device unlocked: true

(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false

(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true

OKAY [ 0.000s]

Finished. Total time: 0.000s

which means when trying to create a partition I get this error"

fastboot create-logical-partition system_b 0x10000

Creating 'system_b' FAILED (remote: 'Could not open super partition')

fastboot: error: Command failed

And I am running the latest version of adb and fastboot. I thought I was but apparently it was JUST updated.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] RainGater:
I am in fastbootd but it keeps saying that "< waiting for any device >" although I have all the necessary drivers on the system. I can do adb reboot bootloader and it works fine. From there, I can do fastboot devices and so on... It works.

But, my device is not getting recognized in the fastbood (where you see Advanced and Exit buttons) mode.

When I run "fastboot reboot fastboot", it goes back to fastbootd screen, where I can go to Advanced and Reboot to fastboot options are there. But, the device is not getting recognized by the PC.

EDIT: I have the latest fastboot: fastboot version 31.0.3-7562133

EDIT 2: The build on my Nord N2005G is 11.0.1.9.DE18CB. Does this procedure on this build?
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] oCAPTCHA:
Errors with the device not being recognized or authorized are due to not having:

1. USB debugging enabled.

2. authorized the computer's certificate on the USB debugging popup when the phone is running in the OS and connected to the computer.

3. sufficient permissions on the computer.

under linux, the first time ADB is run, it starts a daemon to connect using the permissions of that command.

so the first time in a session you run ADB, you must use sudo to give the daemon root privileges.

"sudo ./adb devices

* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037

* daemon started successfully

List of devices attached"

also, the instructions should work for any build.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Travisholt92:
Too many failed boot attempts deleted your encryption and switched your active slots. From fastboot run "fastboot -w" (this will format /data and wipe metadata), after this you switch your active slot using adb commands and see if you can get fastbootd then.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] LunaTuna:
Anyone able to provide a super.img file? Currently I have a bricked device after flashing a blank vendor.img while installing a GSI. I have extracted the firmware and am able to flash the majority of images except any related to the super.img.

Is the super partition the same for both slot A & B or is each slot individual? If it's individual to each slot then slot A should still be available since B was deleted during GSI install, correct!?

Any help flashing the main images would be appreciated.

Also, if I am unable to get a copy of the super partition, would flashing the images that are successful and using a GSI work?
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Travisholt92:
I'll be uploading the 11.0.5.0 N/A (latest stock unbranded software) if on a carrier variant you'll have to use either a payload dumping tool or fastboot enhanced to flash that firmware version before the super.img I have will work. But at the same time I haven't successfully gotten it to flash via fastboot, only by dd terminal commands in TWRP 😮‍💨

Fastboot enhanced can be used for flashing full OTA firmware package on this device to "unbrick" the device. As long as you don't delete the dynamic partitions ( odm, product, system, system_ext, vendor)
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Travisholt92:
Honestly I would recommend the N10 or upcoming N20 because of the faster charging speeds and better display. The N200 display quality is offensive. Even in comparison to the N100's 720p display. It was at least much cleaner looking and was a LG HDR panel.
