Dear Community,
I just searched the past 2 days for a solution but I've not been lucky
Therefore I'd like to ask for help in this forum and hope there is some additional hint or hack I could try...:
So here's the situation:
OnePlus 5T (8/128) with a non booting or not "useful" OS (see last point what I've tried)
No TWRP or CWM
Stock Recovery present
Bootloader Locked
Allow Bootloader to be unlocked = FALSE
What I've already tried yet:
Flashing TWRP --> Not possible Bootloader Locked
Flashing regarding any other kinds like "update" or "flash all" as provided with TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE
ADB Sideload any available ROMS (Original "full" OP5T / FreedomOS / Omni8) --> ADB stops at 47% in Stock Recovery regardless of size of the ZIP file
Tried different versions of ADB (32 & 64 Bit / older & new / also with the LargeAddressAware approach / and on multiple PC's) --> Always same error (47%)
Stumbled upon the possibility to EmergencyDownload a factory flash due to Qualcomm chipset using the MSM-Download-Tool --> Only OnePlus 5 ROM available (no "T")
Mentioned EDL procedure works and OS is booting BUT neither Touchscreen nor USB OTG (for external mouse support) is working --> So I can't navigate and allow Bootloader to be unlocked again
Unfortunately I'm now stuck and have no more idea how to unbrick my phone again
What would help:
Any source to MSM-Download-Tool packed with a correct ROM for the OnePlus 5T
A Workaround to just flash TWRP via MSM-Download-Tool or Qualcomm's QFIL application in EDL mode
Some "hack" to bypass the locked Bootloader situation
Every appreciated Input you might have that I'm currently not aware of...
So PLEASE let me know of any approach that I could try or if you might have found a link or something else to a solution that might help me out of this disaster...
Many thanks in advance!
Tryouts due to your feedback:
@dreinulldrei - "fastboot boot recovery.img" tried with the original 5T Recovery.img also with blu_spark TWRP --> no luck...
SOLVED SOLUTION:
As the EDL factory flash ROM is currently not (or will never officially be) available public getting in contact with the OnePlus support team is required.
They have such a recovery tool (MSM-Download-Tool) with an appropriate ROM and are able to flash the device during a remote support session conducted via chat.
So by starting a chat on the OnePlus Support page and describing your situation will lead to scheduled time slot where a Level-2 technician will do all required steps remotely.
(All files are password protected and the technician ensures they are deleted at the end of the session so I'm unfortunately not able to provide the sources for DIY purposes...)
Following. I would think there would be some way to flash some sort of signed image via fastboot...
U flashed a 5 os to it, using the msmtool try to extract those files from 5t os, I will do it when I get home and so u can try it, i can't guarantee anything though, would u like me to do that for u

Thanks for your input - I'm really not aware of how to generate such *.ops ROM files as this is what the MSM Tool expects...
But if there is a way and you are able to extract and produce a MSM flashable file I would be very happy to try!
I would recommend trying to boot a OP5T recovery, you might have flashed some OP5 rom including OP5 recovery. Just go into fastboot (power on with volume up pressed down), then via cmd:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Since OP does not offer the recovery to be downloaded, it will need to be downloaded from a working device. Lacking the cable right where I am, but I am sure someone else can help out.

Thanks for the input - I forgot to mention I also tried the 2 original available OP5T "full" ZIP ROM's (think they should be signed...)
Will add this to the initial Post but I assume also no chance here...

Ohhh good point - I also think there is the "wrong" recovery (from 5) currently on my phone (because also there the touchscreen behaves unexpectedly...)
But unfortunately with your command I get the "Your device is corrupted. It can't be trusted and will not boot" message.
Tried this with the original 5T Recovery.img I managed to obtain and also with the blu_spark TWRP - no luck...
Edit: Ignore, misread previous post.
U may have to make a call to oneplus so they can restore for u
Submit a ticket to One Plus
You are going to have to submit a ticket, they will arrange a time to help you by unbricking the phone remotely.
I just had to do this myself this week, and it got done today.
I do have the 5t unbricking files but I cannot access the archive because it's password protected.
One important this you didn't mention is how this happened.
OnePlus may be able to help with this one, but all root guides explicitly include the phrase "at your own risk."

Thanks for all your advice - so I will arrange a support chat/ticket as soon as possible and inform about the result in this thread.
Didn't thought that OnePlus Support Team would even care about such bricks (no warranty / own risk / "playing" with root / etc...)
But as indeed they seem to help like @WMerkens experienced I would be very happy to have a working device again

don't know why you would think that OP wouldn't help...they have said from day one that unlocking/rooting does not void your warranty. Heck they encourage it. I assume you are the same person on the OP forum w/ this problem. Hopefully after you get this resolved you will have learned to NEVER EVER RELOCK your phone unless you do the whole factory image qualcomm recovery tool bit. and experienced OP folks on this forum know any claims of a "hardbricked" OP phone is ALWAYS not true.
Yeah oneplus used to be good about and does a remote session to restore, this was back in the one plus one days though, but I think they still do it

How I bricked a 5t
I got the phone and I had installed twrp, that went fine. I was looking at magick systemless rooter when the phone then kicked in with a OTA update, I chose to ignore it the first time. It occurred again a few minutes and in my haste I let it do it's job but it did not complete correctly. I rebooted and the phone complained about corruption to the OS, I got in again but made the dumb mistake of re enabling the OEM lock and because I thought that might be causing the problem. I rebooted again but now I could not boot any more into the OS, it complained I was corrupted and go to google to see what to do.
So I was left with a bricked phone.
I could do bootloader but not recovery and I could not unlock the bootloader.
I could not get in via adb usb debug, So after much research I download the OnePlus 5 unbricking pack and learned a whole lot about qualicom and EDL mode, plus I learned a lot about the QFIL tools and restoring a phone. I did the 5 unbrick but my screen ended up upside down but the touch was right side up, which resulted in a very hard to use phone.
I tried the QFIL method but I was missing a mdb file to be able to talk to the phone.
So I gave up submitted a ticket and after much bad co-ordination on their part got a level 2 tech to debrick the phone remotely.
They do a reverse VPN and connect to your computer, they tell you to have 2 files archive ready in a folder on your desktop (they supply the links). They install the EDL driver and unpack the debrick archive. The archives are password protected, they run the tool and restore the phone
back to factory.
They erase the unpacked archives after they are done.

Oh yes I've learned my lesson on this :angel: --> Never ever set OEM to be unlocked to NO again
Obviously I do not exactly know what wrong procedure made me stuck in this situation but I just wanted to revert every single step back one by one to see which element brings me back to a valid SafetyNet situation...
I've been with the OnePlus "family" since the OP1 but never needed any direct support from the vendor - so every time there's a first time and so for me now...
Thus I really didn't know OP staff is actively doing remote support for their devices - but thumbs up for that! :good:
(BTW: I'm not the guy from the OP forum)

Yes basically it's the same archive as the 5 unbrick pack but it's for 5t, OnePlus 5T OxygenOS 4.7.2-171116.zip is the archive and you can look in it and you see the ops file is for dumpling not cheesburger, which is the code name for 5t. I saw the MsmDownloadTool is 4.0.8

I just had a chat with them before and got mailed a link to the MSMTool incl. ROM for the OP5T (dumpling)
But unfortunatley support files from OnePlus are password protected Nevertheless here the original vendor link:
https://onepluscn-my.sharepoint.com/personal/sheva_liu_oneplus_net/_layouts/15/guestaccess.aspx?docid=0fde9596c72744b4fb9c073ca5d87edbe&authkey=AQPXKRi7pdIzZX-5WH_pwWg&e=1030aa0046da4d1aa9189020027d9c93
So I have to wait for my remote support schedule on Saturday to have the L2 technician entering the password and do the rest.
Would be able to do this myself but OnePlus obviously wants to protect their sources what I have to accept, respect and be patient for...
So, never turn off the OEM Unlocking?
Hello, I tried downgrading today to oreo (from official version of pie) because I wanted to root and flash resuruction remix rom. I unlocked my bootloader and then I installed android oreo from the website for pixel 2 xl, copied the files into the adb directory and ran the "flash-all" batch file. But now my device is stuck at the google screen with the unlcoked lock image, before this screen it says that my device is corrupt. How can I solve this issue and go back to oreo?
Thanks

Please list your exact steps trying to flash back to Oreo.
Unless I am mistaken (it does happen) I was under the impression flashing the 8.1 factory image was all that's needed to return to stock Oreo.
List your steps/process (and files used) and let's see if someone can't help you out.
Initially, I unlocked my bootloader and data was wiped, then I installed android 8.1 (the recommended version from resuruction remix rom forum) and extracted the files into the directory of adb, then I ran "flash-all" and it was running, then at the end it showed a fail error and now my device is not booting up, I can only access fastboot mode

I think the suggestion is that you flash the stock factory 8.1 image found on the Google site (the link to it is in my 9x and 8x links in my sig).
I agree with this.
Fastboot the factory 8.1 image using the flash-all, leave the -w in so you wipe any fragments, and you should have a brand new, fresh start.

If you are for sure unlocked and critical unlocked, next step is to unzip everything in the Google factory image (about 25 files), then
use this with instructions listed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...ol-deuces-bootloop-recovery-flashing-t3704761
It's fixed things for me several times when I just could not get results with flash-all.bat.
Alright, wow finally I got it to work. THe issue was either the cable or the port, I was using the originisl type-c to type c cable, tried my old LG G5 typeA to type c and worked fine, wow. Thanks for the help everyone!!! Phone is back and alive

I thought you already read over my 8x or 9x guides, or I would've mentioned that in the first place
8x Guide:
-have a 2.0 USB in case your 3.0 USB doesn't work properly
-Reboot PC, change between 2.0 and 3.0 cables, and change USB ports if having trouble using fastboot
9x Guide:
*Unlocked bootloader and Critical_unlock completed.
*Latest SDK Tools found here
*USB 2.0 & 3.0 cables available (trust me)
hi dude, I have the same problem with you , have you solved yet?

I've had this happened a couple of times no Rhyme or Reason the only way out of it is to flash The Flash all with the -w. I believe it has something to do with Googles security.
Edit. I take that back I've switched to the other slot before and restored a backup and gotten out of it if that other slot isn't corrupt
I thought Android Pie has a mandatory "Anti Roll back" feature that prevents going back to Android Oreo?
That is not true then?!

unless you do fastboot flashing unlock and fastboot flashing unlock_critical it is not possible to roll back.
if you do both above you can over-write the critical partitions allowing the roll-back.
the general population would not be doing these, so in essence they do block rolling back to earlier versions, but in a disaster situation it can be done.

Hi everyone, similar to the previous threads for
OP3, OP3T, OP5, OP5T, OP6, OP6T, OP7, OP7PRO, regular OP7T and OP7TPRO here is the EDL package (also known as MSM tool or unbrick tool) that can revive a bricked OnePlus 7T bought from T-Mobile.
It can also be used to rollback your phone to a previous release of OOS.
You can download the following versions:
ANDROID 10:
10.0.3 HD63CB
10.0.5 HD63CB
10.0.7 HD63CB (credits @viperbjk )
10.0.8 HD63CB (credits @viperbjk )
10.0.9 HD63CB
10.0.10 HD63CB
10.0.13 HD63CB
ANDROID 11:
11.0.1.5 HD63CB
Mirror for first and last MSMs: https://onepluscommunityserver.com/
It will only work with T-Mobile variant HD1907
Instructions:
Power your device off
Maintain volume up and volume down keys to get into Qualcomm EDL mode.
Launch MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe.
Specific to 10.0.7 and 10.0.8
On the login prompt select "Other" in the dropdown menu and click on Next.
Wait a few seconds until main window shows up.
Click on Enum to be sure your device is detected and press Start.
Wait ~300 seconds
Enjoy your brand new device
FAQ:
My device isn't detected when I click on "Enum" button
Go to device manager and make sure your phone shows up as QDLOADER 9008.
If it shows up as QHUSB_BULK, it means Qualcomm driver wasn't installed automatically by Windows Update. Download the latest one from Microsoft website at http://download.windowsupdate.com/c..._fba473728483260906ba044af3c063e309e6259d.cab (source https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=qualcomm hs usb 9008 ) and install it manually by right clicking on QHUSB_BULK and selecting "Update driver software" and "Browse my computer for driver software" to where you downloaded CAB file.
MSM tool is stuck on "Param pre-processing"
Ensure you're using the Qualcomm drivers linked in first part of this FAQ.
What is SMT Download mode?
Just don't try to unlock that mode, it will wipe your IMEI and your Widevine certificate if you use it.

Lots of testing. This year's convert process has be a tad bit harder due to OnePlus trying to make things a tad more difficult for us. Just stay patient and it will come soon in some form of manner.
So another little update. I managed to convert(a dirty way) and it involves at least being bootloader unlocked. I waited a week and got my code and immediately did this. This method isn't released yet but if you guys are interested in testing and have some skills in edl and know your way around python or adb please PM ME. We can get you into our testing group temporarily and try some methods to get you converted. This will be per discretion by me. If I don't think you can help I'm NOT going to add you.
Nice. I unfortunately need to wait until a bootloader unlock is possible since T-Mobile refuses to unlock mine.
This is really, REALLY good news. Well done, Joe!!

Hello there !
I got the RN8Pro, last week and i unlocked it today. I naturally started to look how to root/install TWRP. I found numerous threads with instructions on how to do it but i also found a lot of warnings that it may brick the device, and that if that happens i need a special account to be able to unbrick it. It seems that some methods will work for the Chinese version while bricking others and vice versa. I have the Global ROM version 11.0.3.0(PGGEUXM) and the model of my phone is M1906G7G. Do you think it's safe for me to try flashing TWRP or at least root through ADB ?
I have also searched for custom ROMs and did not find any. The phone is relatively new so i wouldn't mind if i had to wait a bit, but i have also read that people just don't want to develop for it because of the Mediatek chip. Everyone says that development is not possible because there is no source code the the Mediatek chip. But here it says that the sources have been released partially here and the rest here. Is there something that's missing from these repos that makes development impossible ?
I also would like to become more than just a user and learn how to make custom roms. I found this thread that compiles some guides but a lot of them seem a bit outdated and I'm lost. Is that a good starting point or i should i go elsewhere ?
Thanks ^^

I did, but what is said there doesn't apply to me. I don't live near a center and I bought it on AliExpress, so I don't tink that I have a guarantee that I could use.

I would love to help though. But your post is quite cryptic. More details could be nice like what are the risks, what is need to be done, what to do in case of a problem. Plus, it's my only phone ATM and I am poor ^^
It Is Safe As Well As Not Safe.
I Had Bricked My Redmi Note 8 Pro(8GB) And I Had To Visit Mi Service Centre As I Required Xiaomi Authorised Account Which I Don't Have.
Some Peoples Bricked Their Phone After Flashing TWRP And Some After Flashing Wrong Boot.img
I Flashed TWRP Successfully But When I Rooted My Phone, I Faced Bootloop Problem Then To Solve That Problem I Accidently Flashed Wrong Boot.img File( 10.0.4 Boot File Into 11.0.3) Which Resulted Into Bootloop
But If You Follow All The Steps Carefully Then It Is Absolutely Safe.

Mine has 6gb ram. Which TWRP img did you use?
When it's in bootloop, all I need to do is hold power up to get to fastboot so I can flash boot.img right?

I Flashed This TWRP Through CMD
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...overy-unofficial-twrp-recovery-redmi-t4002397
You Need To Press&Hold Power+Vol Down Button To Enter Into Fastboot Mode.
When TWRP Flashed Successfully Through CMD You Have To Immediately Disconnect Your Phone From PC Otherwise Your Phone Will Load Stock Recovery.

I Think You Shouldn't Take Risk As Your Phone Has No Warranty
I am seeing a lot of folks who are still (year later) unable to enjoy custom ROM with T-Mobile devices, so I wanted to quickly post this easy method for enjoying your device with FULL DATA. If you are using a T-Mobile branded OnePlus 9 Pro and have accepted all normal OTA updates as of 9/8/22, you should be on C.19 firmware.
Assuming you have already unlocked your bootloader, you can safely upgrade to EU C.62 firmware found at:
OP9PRO_Android12_C62_EU_Firmware
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.

I completed this process while already on Nameless but it should work for others too. No more dodgy modules, hacked MSMDownloadTools or sorta working phones. Note, firmware and local updates are NOT the same. You are not cross-flashing to an entirely new software but ONLY required firmware modules for latest custom ROMs. Hope this helps!
P.S. if you receive any error while sideloading your new firmware, DO NOT unplug or reboot your phone. Repeat the process until it's completed successfully.
So you are saying no need to msm to EU first? I am on C.19, is this supposed to be flashed in fastboot? No modem issues??

That's exactly what I am saying, fastboot flash the firmware only and say goodbye to data issues.
My system update is showing c.17 as the latest update. I can't seem to get c.19. Would switching to eu firmware delete user data too?

No user data removed.
Appreciate this post. Do you plan on keeping this updated as EU gets updates?

I will do my best!
Why does this work where the eu msm converter has problems with the modem? After you flash this firmware can you take future ota updates without modem issues as well?
The latest firmware from non-branded OnePlus 9 Pro is now available!

This finally brings those of us on T-Mobile, especially closer to the bleeding edge.
Is this file modified in any way? Why didn't the people in the conversion thread do this before? I just don't get it, help me understand how we are avoiding all those problems. Can you also share the fastboot commands you use to flash this firmware please? Thank you.

Of course, it's modified because OnePlus doesn't create firmware packages for our community. However, the files within the package are original dumps.
You can easily sideload this fix through your custom recovery using adb sideload OP9PRO_Android12_C63_NA_Firmware.zip for example.
Ok, one last question, are we able to take ota updates after doing the sideload? I know this is the latest firmware so there won't be any but in the future are we able to take ota?
Question:
1-what room is best for my LE2127 for daily use
2-Hasselblad camera exist a app
3-what TWRP are we using now
thanks in advance
Could someone please post steps to sideload Le2127 to EU / Global C.62EU / C.63NA No data loss ?
can I sideload this from t-mobile c.17? Also what recovery can I use? TWRP is for android 11
I use this for adb side loading..

Should I just select oneplus 8 pro as the device? The 9 pro technically isn't supported. I also can't get my computer to recognize my phone in recovery so sideloading is not working, all drivers installed and my pc recognizes my phone in any other state.

Do the other option and go from there.
The Tool All In One is a great tool with many uses. You can choose the OP8P and it will work for OP9P. My question is will this really work side loading C.62 or C.63 on Le2127 and not lose data. I still have yet to read a clear guide on doing this. Also there's a lot of us that still use the TMO 9 Pro but I don't see anyone responding to this thread sharing that it really works. It would be nice but I'm not even gonna try until I know for sure that it really does work !
