I'll bookmark this, thank you :)

One difference with 8P TWRP though - we can flash it in Magisk, no need for that fastboot dance and it works great :cool:
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Extreme_Ninja2099:
If u didn't see in the method, magisk isn't installed lol. So, you'll have to install TWRP with the fastboot commands and that's to restore ur TWRP backup which would restore magisk

D.A.M.N. thank you for the heads up!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalBeard:
Im in the exact same boat - I just cant get my phone to go to EDL mode. Im stuck at the Fastboot screen and nothing seems to work to try and get the MSM tool to recognise my device. Im hoping someone has a way out of this.

- Ive tried the usual hardware vol up+down and plugging in the cable but it just goes to fast boot again.

- every option ive tried at Fastboot goes back to fastboot after restart.

I know MSM will work, I just cant seem to force the phone to go into EDL. help :(
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] raybonz420:
if you hold volume up and power the device will reboot. as soon as it reboots hold both volume up and down buttons while MSMdownload tool is started and waiting for device. this will then trigger the tool to begin but it will freeze. you can avoid this by continuing to hold both buttons until it makes it passed the point it would normally freeze, then the tool will recover OOS 11 from borked 12.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] raybonz420:
hold vol up and power as soon as device begins to boot hold both vol up and down while msmtool is started and waiting, this will trigger EDL mode, if if it hangs, close msmtool and try again only keep holding vol up and down until it makes it past the part that it hangs at.

Eu souI'm extremely confused. This topic made me anxious. This risk of killing Oneplus is who has custom recovery? I got very confused. I confess that doing all this is not for amateurs! I, who understand a lot about technology, found it very boring to do this for something that should be simple. A great update! Let me know if this still applies. Because I don't even want to risk it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalBeard:
DUUUUUUUDE .. you LEGEND!!

It finally worked. I don't know what I was doing wrong before but I kept holding vol up+down and it finally recognised the device and started install.

I ordered a Pixel6pro which I'm now returning back - you just saved me £800. Thank you so much for replying!

Hi, I'm hoping that there is a fix but I'm guessing there isnt from reading this. I am on the same boat and did flash the OTA firmware files on both slots and now cannot boot. I have torn down the phone to disconnect the battery and try to get into EDL cuz I know it's the only way to recover it and it's not working. I did make a thread but hoping this will help.

Two really important things:

1. Install the qualcom drivers. Make sure it's showing up in the list. Enable legacy device display if you don't see com/ports in the list.

2. Make sure you download the correct region msm tool and enable it after the correct key combo as per three posts above.

That's what allowed me to unbrick and restore to android 11.

I've tried every button combination humanly possible and it's still not getting to EDL or Fastboot. It's still responding to my button presses but idk. Am I missing something here?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] sirhc:
Yup my 8pro just got fried as well, flashed A12 fastboot images and didn't know about the xbl image issues until after the fact. The phone does nothing, and can't even boot edl mode or get it detected by my PC. I've tried making an EDL cable and still nothing.

Last thing I heard was using the test points on the board to force it into EDL mode but if what OP is saying is true about the RAM being overvolted and fried then you're gonna need another motherboard, better yet a another phone lol

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] lushplush:
Alright guys, I have a very specific question, and I would really appreciate it if anyone is able to answer.

I have a oneplus 8T with LPDDR5 RAM. The earliest MSMDownloadTool I can find that includes DDR detection is OxygenOS 11.0.7.9. Any version before this doesn't have DDR detection, so whenever I begin flashing it would say Auto Detection of DDR failed. Thing is I really want to flash OxygenOS 11.0.6.7, this is in my opinion the last OOS that is stable and bloat free.

So what I did is I loaded up the MSMTool, flashed my phone to 11.0.7.9 and used the rollback package to rollback to 11.0.6.7. It somehow worked. Considering that the firmware was released in Dec 2020 (at that time oneplus has yet to ship any 8T with DDR5), it's nothing short of a miracle that it's working with a DDR5-equipped 8T.

However I'm not happy with the result. I got the system version I want but I want a real clean install. I prefer doing everything in ADB instead of letting the phone handle the upgrade/downgrade. So my first question is, is there any way I can clean install 11.0.6.7 on a computer? What I want is a one step solution, not using MSM and rollback package cuz this isn't clean enough.

My second question is, how is my 8T still working? From all the information I've gathered, all the MSMDownloadTool up until 11.0.5.6 does not support DDR selection which means the ROM doesn't even have the voltage file for LPDDR5. So how is my 8T still alive?

Is it still safe to root this phone with all of this?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xtcislove:

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] bacon612:
I'd like some clarification too, please. OnePlus 8 pro AA (in2025). On oos 11 latest 11.0.11.11. Rooted with latest magisk.

I'm getting nagged to update to oos 12. C16 build and then subsequent incremental builds to latest. Am I not able to restore images and take this update to oos 12?

If yes, can I do it and patch magisk to inactive slot like I used to or is this still playing with fire?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xtcislove:
I cant tell if you play with fire. I did it the ota was before.

Right now i would only do manual full updates and flash a patched boot img after.

That method is the safest imo.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] HendrikRhl:
Hi everyone,

it also got me today, fried my OP8P, but got no response from OP yet.

Did someone of you already had their phone for an RMA?

And also, just in case I decide to switch my mainboard by itself, will fingerprint work?

The replys sounded like the fingerprint sensor had something like an encryption hash stored in the persistent partition, that scared me.

Hi Guys,

i have bricked my OnePlus 8 Pro flashing wrong ram image.

Any tip how to solve it?

Device is dead, no edl
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xtcislove:
I guess you flashed xbl.img & xbl_config.img on a 8 Pro.

This means your device is dead and there is only one way. Replace motherboard.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ko_hi:
To my understanding we should be able to get it into EDL mode, but this would require pins to be shorted ... If this is available on the op8p since it did have edl key combination....

I've only seen op10p edl pins but haven't found them on op8p (and yeah I've tried to actually find em) without success so far here's 10 pro EDL PINS
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xtcislove:
But does it matter? If you flash the wrong image your ram gets too much voltage and dies or am i wrong?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ppajdek:
Well, there is no proof that the ram is dead, its only assumption, it may be that ram is ok, but it cant be initialized duo to wrong valus from xbl.

Anyway you probably cant run EDL without working ram.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xtcislove:
Good point. If im right the edl test point on the 10 are the same as holding Volume up and down and plugging the usb cable on OP8pro? Years ago there where external tools to directly flash the chipsets, cant remember the name. If the ram is not fried, thats the only way expect changing the motherboard?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ppajdek:
Yeah, that's my guess, if I'm remember correctly i was doing this kind of flashing with LG G3
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ko_hi:
I'm unsure if it downloaded the wrong image, i did use oneplus 8 pro props (A10)so highly doubt it downloaded wrong images to flash. So ram should be fine for me...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ko_hi:
Correct, it depends if it gotten the wrong image or not.

But I highly doubt since it detected my phone as op8pro but I did not let the installation complete apparently....

I found these 4 pins but they're below the usb connector. It is possible it can be the EDL pins...

I'm not sure if Op10p pro uses key combo?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xtcislove:
I couldnt find anything about a key combo for the 10.

I cant tell anything about the edl pins.

I cant find your post where you describe what happend? You are on 8pro and flashed a12 or?

Does your pc not regognize your phone?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ko_hi:
Long story short. I was going up update to latest A12 release. The update window was not *closed* but I went to check other apps. When I wanted to check the progress i noticed it didn't stay in recent window so I had no idea when it was going to be finished.

So i flashed magisk and hoped it was finished and it ended up in dead state.

i did have safetynet fix and props but thus was set to A10 oneplus 8 pro. So it might been downgrading the rom and it was incomplete. I can't tell. It can't enter EDL mode. So unless if no pins for test point exist. Is a very much dead end

I highly doubt the ram is *fried* as people say it is due to wrong firmware package. But I can't tell that's it was the correct one either which was flashed either

I do know the motherboard still gets power from the battery and the usb port...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xtcislove:
If you use magisk props set to A10 i dont see a problem. BUT the thread says if you have it installed. And if you read what Universal Safety Net fix does:

Quote: "This module bypasses the check by appending a space character to the device model name."

safetynet-fix/docs/details.md at master · kdrag0n/safetynet-fix

Google SafetyNet attestation workarounds for Magisk - kdrag0n/safetynet-fix

github.com

So if your PC does not show up in the device manager, i would say you came to the "rare" case that OxygenOS OTA actually flashed the wrong image due to the mentioned magisk modules.

I dont see why the EDL points would make a difference while you could enter EDL mode with holding VolUp + VolDown and connecting the device to your pc.

I dont like to break your hopes here but imo your ram is dead.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ko_hi:
Hmm it can be the case, well if it is possible to do edl mode with pins it'll be good,

Well I am 100% sure it downloaded correct package, but it can be that it didn't, or that it did flash the wrong image due to what you say? But why would it even start flash? Specially if it's broken prop it shouldn't even start it then?

Or am I wrong
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xtcislove:
The Package is right, but the package has ddr4 and ddr5 images.

You should read first post again. The package fails to check build/hardware combo and installs the wrong images. Its a shame yes, but thats how it is.

Im pretty sure now, things in first post happend to you.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ko_hi:
Ah yes I've read it, i guess i just didn't want it to be right 😁 meanwhile no testpoint pins seems available or (it's beyond) testpoint fix.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] sketch.droid:
This whole situation scares me from even attempting any Updates anymore.... I cant afford a new phone!

but while reading about this I came across a Reddit post confirming that 8T variants came with both LPDDR4x and LPDDR5, and poster provided an adb command to check which RAM type you have.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to it...

I think this should be added to the first post.

adb shell getprop ro.boot.ddr_type

getting a 0 (zero) means LPDDR4x

getting a 1 (one) means LPDDR5

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] denvit:
I too bricked my phone by running (as per my usual):

```

for i in *.img; do fastboot flash ${i/.img/} $i; done

```

from the extracted payload.bin of the global C.16 build (ota_target_version=IN2025_11.C.16_1160_202204222300)

This caused the `xbl.img` to be flashed on the xbl partition and the xbl_lp5.img to not be flashed anywhere.

Rebooting the phone bricked it: can't enter EDL in any way (maybe pin shorting is our last resort) and the phone is basically a brick.

Analyzing the bootloader difference, there seems to be the check mentioned in the initial post. I'm not sure why you think this is not working (other than the fact that the phone doesn't show anything).

It would be interesting to get some UART logs, but I have no clue on how the motherboard looks like, let alone where the pins are.

xbl.img​

xbl-lp5.img

​

If anyone has any tip on how to proceed, it would be great - tbh I'm surprised the bootloader wasn't a protected partition to begin with, or that they don't fall back to EDL in this case.

My Problem now, I can't find the xbl_lp5.img & xbl_config_lp5.img files. Where do I get them from?

Peter, do you have the xbl_lp5 files you would be able to share? Thankfully the Lineage instructions warn against flashing the wrong version, but now I am stuck needing those before I can continue with the install on a OnePlus 8 Pro. Otherwise, if you could provide the steps you took to find the files, that would be helpful, too.

EDIT: Was able to locate. Now the Fastboot screen is cycling through the input options and not responding to add.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Renate:
Mmm, I don't think that's true.

I can't speak for every processor, but they mostly (all?) include static RAM on the chip just for starting up.

The ROM bootloader is simple and doesn't configure any external DRAM (AFAIK).

I have worked with secondary loaders where I have seen that they configure external DRAM.

It seems to me that just a processor by itself should be able to get the Sahara protocol running at least.

Whether the Firehose loaders use external DRAM is a different question.

I think that I have a phone that I can actually check that with. I can hit the DRAM with a center punch.

Also, that this whole thread is about the DRAM configuration code in xbl...

As far as getting into EDL mode, I think EDL test points are the "gold standard".

Just as adb reboot edl is dependent on the reboot executable and abl that knows to look for something in /misc or elsewhere, buttons are random GPIOs that abl polls,

There's no reason that Qualcomm when they make a chip would know/care that a Zircon 3000 phone uses GPIO 27 for VolUp.

I do not believe that "EDL mode USB cables" are detected inside the SoC ROM, but in abl or elsewhere.

I'd welcome any corrections to my understanding.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] rmedure:
I took the android 12 OTA on OP8 Plus, version IN2025_11_C.21, downloaded with the "Oxygen Updater" app. Using payload dumper shows that there are only 2 xbl images:

xbl.img

xbl_config.img

So then, how do I tell if these are the correct xbl images?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ShadoV90:
If you took A12 official OOS ROM, then after using payload dumper, you should have:

xbl.img

xbl_config.img

xbl_lp5.img

xbl_config_lp5.img

As first post says with bold letters:

"If You have OnePlus 8 (DDR4) You're supposed to flash xbl.img & xbl_config.img"

"If You have OnePlus 8 Pro [...] (DDR5) You're supposed to flash

xbl_lp5.img & xbl_config_lp5.img

"

IN2025 is OnePlus 8 Pro (NA variant)

Double check everything. It's better to check 100 times, than end with dead device.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] rmedure:
Hmm, my bad. All 4 xbl images are there ... I swear I checked twice and only saw the 2. Anyway, I was able to dd the xbl partition and compare and find that it does indeed match xbl_lp5.img in the payload. So I guess I was lucky to happen to follow a procedure that worked.

I used the Magisk manager app to "uninstall Magisk" (I guess this restores the boot partition to original). Then ran "local update" with OTA zip downloaded with OxygenUpdater (did NOT reboot yet). Then used Magisk manager to install Magisk to inactive slot. Seems all went well.

I am not trying to use any custom recovery yet. My understanding is that new A12 TWRP for OP8 Plus is not yet done.

Hopefully this helps some of y'all.

Cheers!
