[OnePlus 10 Pro] beatbreakee:
I concur ... My 10pro arrived 2 days ago from T-Mobile.... and YES they did it again... inaccessible Fastbooot Mode... No keypress combination will get me anywhere but EDL, and Recovery... In recovery mode, ADB IS accessible, but unrecognized keys, and without ADB sideload, no way to get authorization in the recovery. Fastboot WAS able to be reached through an Oppo tool i found in the wild... but it required that the OS be up and running. HERES THE KICKER.... I ACTUALLY GOT BRICKED BY A BAD FLASH COMING FROM AN OTA TO UPGRADE TO ANDROID 13! ... Oxygen Updater downloaded... Global Firmware (ONLY HAD TO GO THIS WAY BECAUSE I DIDNT WANNA BE STUCK WAITING 8 DAYS FOR AN UNLOCK TOKEN, SO I COULD UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER QUICKLY BEFORE I EVER INSERT A TMOBILE SIM..... BAD MISTAKE!) The Global FW downloaded.... verified perfectly fine in Local Updater.... the process completed 100%... but during the 1st boot to 13, it hung on "100% Optimized" applications... the phone eventually got hot, and i guess some internal protection kicked in and rebooted it BEFORE a complete boot. Now it bootloops on the starting logo indefinitely... Safe mode.... key presses... NOTHING can get thru... the BEST i can do is, if i do a FACTORY WIPE thru recovery, it WILL hit the "Lets get started screen"... but the moment you touch the screen, you have about 7 seconds, and the screen will go black. (EXTREMELY ANNOYING!) ... ITS not a process hanging, or an incompatible image doing it... It just does it by time. I have tried RUSHING thru, skipping EVERY option in setup, in an attempt to get Android Setup to complete, and unlock the main system.... but no matter how fast i move i cannot get much further than accepting the Google Tos.... then fade to black... AND IT DOESNT REBOOT.... it just stops processing the setup. I can load the Shelf, and thru some manipulation i can gain access to "Nearby Sharing", as well as the actual Settings screen.... but all access to developer options is locked out...because setup hasnt completed. And EVERY FRP / Mitigation app i have managed to force install and make run, either crashes or simply doesnt have access to the permissions needed to get me to developer options.... WITHOUT that access, ADB & FASTBOOT doesnt even recognize the phone in windows/mac or linux. I am OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS PPL. I Need Developer Options to turn on USB DEBUGGING, and i can recover the device myself. But i do not know how to End/Cancel Android Setup, using any thing other than ADB. I do have access to Terminal Emulator, and Termux both on the device.

Can ANYONE tell me what the command is to grant me permissions in Terminal Em... and write the setting for "Android_Setup_Complete"... I get either Permission denied, or command not located... but i know theres a way to crash the android setup while running. If i can do this, i have access to Apex Launcher, Niagara, and Nova ALL loaded and ready so i can over ride the black screen.... but it does me no good unless i can force the phone to complete setup, and unlock all the settings options. No pre-loaded app will run while its unactivated.... This highly reminds me of Apple IOS and all the stupid SETUPAPP bypasses that made you a non functional device! ARGGGHGHHHHHHH... HELP .... (I KNEW SOMETHING LIKE THIS WAS COMING... BUT NOT FROM A DAMN OTA!)
