System using 19.9gb on a 32gb pixel xl

Last night i bricked my phone and accidently deleted system partitions i think from slot A and slot B when i was trying to install twrp. I always try to figure out how to fix it from reading helpful guides and without asking questions. I flashed full image a couple of times because i was getting bootloops everytime. In the last try, i flashed full image then gave me a bootloop again. So what i did, i adb sideload ota and it booted fine. Now im rooted and it seems i installed twrp correctly, i currently have nde63v build. At the moment i have supposedly used 22.71gb of 29.70gb.
So can someone let me know what i did wrong or point me out how to get those gbs back please.

I just did a factory reset and it fixed it. I also was stock without twrp though.

I tried factory reset already but still shows system using 19.9gbs.

Have you tried doing a complete full flash of nde63v without installing TWRP or root to see if it goes back to normal?

yes i did a few times, it would just bootloop. Until i sideloaded ota nde63v on top of full system img then it booted fine

Mine shows system using 19.9 gigs also. I posted this on another thread as I thought it seemed high but no one said weather it was high or was not so I assumed it was normal to use 19.9 gigs of space on my verizon pixel xl. I"am rooted on the x software but I couldnt get twrp working and I figured what good was TWRP if there was no supersu that was working with it and I decided to wait for TWRP to get out of beta to try again.

If you are getting a bootloop after flashing a factory image, I would assume it isn't flashing correctly. Can you post the output of what happens when you run the flashall.bat?

im able to flash every single img, but when i try to flash flashall.bat it doesnt seem to work. I will give it a try once i get home from work. The only thing bugging me is that the system shows using 19.9gb of space.

Mine is only using 6.79GB. Something is definitely off with yours.

yes there is. When you reboot your phone, which slot does it have? And do you have twrp installed and root?

I fixed it, i flashed full system image while i was on slot A. Now system is using 5.39gb, im on V build.

i have the same problem with a 128GB version not sure whats up but to fix it i just flashed over and over and one of them just worked would be nice to know the cause so i dont have to flash many times to get it to show full space again.

How do you select slot a while stock? I can select it in twrp but need to know how to get stock images to flash to a

I figured out how to fix it by selecting slot a through twrp, booting into fastboot and flashing stock images. However, I am curious how it even ended up on slot b when I went from stock to unlocked and simply flashed the factory images. I never intended to switched from a to b.

whenever you flash a factory img or an OTA, or any firmware, the slots will switch unless told not to, i believe this is to keep them in sync aka the seamless updates. here is some info on that - http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/1...-partition-changes-and-new-fastboot-commands/
Quick Tip - while in cmdlne for ADB and Fastboot, and fully updated, just type
Code:
adb
to get all the ADB commands available, and likewise for fastboot, just type
Code:
fastboot
And to switch active slots type
Code:
fastboot set_active -a
or
Code:
fastboot set_active -b
. Then to activate slot
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
I believe with TWRP installed you have to switch slots in TWRP.

Moving on, I found this to be pretty helpful, it's not the exact answer you are looking for, but i think it will come in handy.
All dual-booting credit in this thread goes to hucqym, this wasn't my idea, im just a messenger.
hucqym said:
so I successfully have the dual boot running on my pixel (verizon edition) with the same configuration you are trying (one is NDE63X image rooted and one is NDE63X image stock/unrooted). Here were my steps:
-> dePixel8 to unlock bootloader (because verizon edition pixel)
-> download NDE63X image from google and modified flash_all.sh to flash stock images to both slots manually
using the --slot _a/_b and --skip-secondary flags. Modified scripts below. At this point I confirmed that I could boot to both slots. I also verified bootloader lock/unlock again to make sure it was stock image on both slots
-> TWRP alpha2 to get recovery on both slots
-> with slot _b selected as active in TWRP, i installed the SuperSU v2.78 SR4 zip
-> with slot _a as active in TWRP, installed ElementalX-P-1.00 zip for the kernel patch to pass SafetyNet
voila, I now have non-rooted on slot _a and rooted on slot _b
Note that TWRP is not really a requirement for doing this. I had the same dual boot configuration working with SuperSU v2.78 SR3 rooting one slot directly. The only reason I needed TWRP is so that I can switch slots easily on the device and don't need a cable and a laptop just to switch the bootloader flag
Although, I got this to work it still falls short of what I really wanted to do. For my use-case I would really want an isolated userdata for the two slots so I can use the rooted slot as a complete sandbox. and then perhaps have a shared folder mechanism between the two. ...so if somebody has an idea on this, I'm all ears.
[UPDATE]: Note that the unrooted slot is still limited in the sense that safetynet checks fail and so AndroidPay etc.. that use that API will still not work. This, however, has little to do with the dual boot setup and more because SafetyNet now fails on just unlocked bootloader and we do need it unlocked. On Conchors' suggestion, I installed ElementalX kernel on slotA from TWRP and now my 'otherwise-stock' non-rooted image on slotA passes SafetyNet while slotB is successfully rooted
flash_all_slot-a.sh
Code:
fastboot flash --slot _a bootloader bootloader-sailfish-8996-012001-1608281716.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash --slot _a radio radio-sailfish-8996-012511-1609191801.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
#fastboot -w update image-sailfish-nde63x.zip
fastboot update --slot _a --skip-secondary image-sailfish-nde63x.zip
flash_all_slot-b.sh
Code:
fastboot flash --slot _b bootloader bootloader-sailfish-8996-012001-1608281716.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash --slot _b radio radio-sailfish-8996-012511-1609191801.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
#fastboot -w update image-sailfish-nde63x.zip
fastboot update --slot _b --skip-secondary image-sailfish-nde63x.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I switched it up a bit, and to be perfectly honest, the script is easier, this is just an alternate way of doing it
I did this for both slot_a and slot_b (not sure if it is needed for the flrst one, but that is what i did), both ways are correct, this way is much longer, but it gives some control, plus it's a nice learning process as it is pretty easy going.
If you are going to erase, erase first before you start anything, because you know...science.
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase vendor
the cache partition, i dont remember if this worked or not, I'm too tired to verify
Code:
fastboot flash --slot _b --skip-secondary bootloader "name-of-bootloader.img"
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash --slot _b --skip-secondary radio "name-of-radio.img"
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash --slot _b --skip-secondary system system.img
fastboot flash --slot _b --skip-secondary boot boot.img
fastboot flash --slot _b --skip-secondary vendor vendor.img
If you want to wipe everything, use the following commands next:
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
system.img and userdata.img take time to flash— the command prompt appears to stop. Let it do it's thing, when it's done the cursor will begin blinking again.
All dual-booting credit goes to hucqym; again, not my idea.
Slightly Off Topic -
Has anyone tried this on a specific slot, does it make any difference?) I haven't actually even thought of this till now
something like:
Code:
fastboot erase --slot _(a/b) --skip-secondary userdata
fastboot flash --slot _(a/b) --skip-secondary userdata userdata.img[/B]

I was noticing quite a bit of space missing as well. what i did was boot into the slot I wanted as secondary (do this in TWRP), and i wiped just the system (which includes cache) and reflashed the system.img directly pulled from factory.zip. I noticed twice as much space had been gained then what was actually said to be there. I was a little surprised...it was over 5 gb I had gained while the system only said 2.5ish gb. (perhaps there was a second other_system.img wrapped up in it, I don't know. Then i went back to the primary slot and booted back up.
It's possible I got off course, I'm tired.

GSIs that work on the E6

Here's what I've learned far about the E6:
Mostly from Treble Info app from Hackintosh Five
VNDK-28
Arm32 BINDER64
It's actually AB, according to it having System As Root.
No Seamless upgrade.
Binder64-AB/A64-AB GSIs work on this device.
Quack GSI should be the first we focus on.
TO INSTALL:
Code:
fastboot -w flash system <gsiname.img>
BOOTS
Quack GSI (AOSP 10, bb)!
Will list others as I come across them.

This is awesome.
I got LOS 16 bvn to boot.
The ril must be off or something, it had no connection.
I've got stock rom with encryption disabled and verity disabled, full magisk root living inside the boot.img..
And got twrp with touch adb and mtp working...
But it looks a lil funny cause the port has slightly smaller image so it doesn't fully fill screen.
But everything seems to work, including flashing zips..
Should that be a thread by its self?

For a working recovery see this

tried:
>fastboot flash system <image.img>
for all the 3 Quack GSI: system-quack-arm32_binder64-ab-gapps.img.xz, system-quack-arm32_binder64-ab-go.img.xz and system-quack-arm32_binder64-ab-vanilla.img.xz
The system just keeps looping the andriod logo...
Anyone knows of a twrp version that works with this moto e6?

soulmaker2207 Did you do the -w in fastboot after you installed the gsi? If you didn't it is definitely worth a try Beware it will erase all data including the internal sd

Alongside the fastboot -w advice, try renaming every img you download to "system.img." I have had way more success doing that than using long img names.
Also, I noticed that for a lot of GSIs, USB Tethering does not work.

Just installed latest phusson aosp android 11 gsi, over latest stock pie, using fastboot -w option, of course. Boots great, working VoLTE, sms, etc. Super fast performance. Usb tethering greyed out. That's the only problem I sound so far.

Yeah USB Tethering doesn't seem to work for ANY GSI ROMs.

I am running Android 11 AOSP now using phhusson gsi rom V300.l. For your phone calling and sms to work properly, you need to follow this guide every time you reboot or power off/on. I mean every time.
[Razer Phone 2/as of v300.l/non-Verizon] IMS still needs some manual intervention to re-enable after reboot. · Issue #1681 · phhusson/treble_experimentations · GitHub
I have done this often enough now that I can do it in under 30 seconds. Hopefully, this issue will be fixed soon, but it is not that difficult to fix yourself.

Yes I was trying to update from Android 10

I am running phhusson aosp 11 v300.l gsi rom right now. Super fast. Amazing, really.
If you are on the T-Mobile system, you need to do 3 things in order to make VoLTE and sms work properly. Hopefully, this will not be needed in future updates, but it might be.
1. using a root file explorer (I use 3C) to locate and move the org.codeaurora.ims folder from /data/app to /system/app
2. reboot
3. using *#*#4636*#*# on the dialer to open "phone information menu", change the band to GMS/WCDMA/LTE, and close the menu.
That's it. I hope this helps you to consider moving up to gsi roms. They are truly amazing.

Greetings people and like minded friends of the internet (and fellow trashman) I come bearing great gifts of flashing goodness. For the XT2005-5, I needed a nice de-Googled imaged phone for usage. As most of you probably have found in searching, finding TWRP and getting it to work has been a tedious journey. Never fear, there is a way to drop images on this phone. I will give you my experience and steps I took, in hopes it may help you save a bit of time.
1.) Download the factory image for the device found here
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/surfna/official/RETUS/ I used this one https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...-DEFAULT_regulatory-XT2005-5-SKU6_CFC.xml.zip Use a program like 7-Zip to extract it to a folder of your liking and you will use this folder later in the process. Of course, you're welcome to stop here and just flash the factory image and be done. But after all, why would you be reading this post if you wanted to just stop here, right?!
2.) Now find a GSI system image of your liking for flashing to the phone. I used the following system image from PHH (KUDOS FOR THE MAN WHO ROCKS GREAT ANDROID SKILLS) https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases For this phone you can you ARM32/Binder64/AB and I decided to go with
system-roar-arm32_binder64-ab-vndklite-vanilla.img.xz as I wanted no GAPPS. You will need to use 7-Zip again to extract the image from the archive file you've download. You can extract this file anywhere for the time being.
3.) Rename the extracted image from step 2 to system.img (just for simplicity) and put the file in the same directory you've created from step1.
4.) Now create a flashfile2.bat with the following and put this .bat file in the same directory as Step1
echo off
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
echo -------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo please scroll up and check your flash for any errors
echo -------------------------------------------------------------------------
pause
fastboot reboot
exit
5.) You will notice that I modified the .bat to flash the system.img that was downloaded in Step 2. Keep in mind, this method will re-write your system and you will LOSE ALL OF YOUR DATA so ensure you have YOUR DATA BACKED UP.
Run the flashfile2.bat file after you've connected your USB cable and you're at the bootloader screen
You already unlocked the bootloader, right? Hopefully, you're at least to BL screen, right after you've researched a bit about your phone .

Stuck in Fastboot Mode (Recovery mode does not work)

Hello lads,
I have been having issues with my OnePlus Nord N100.
On my fault, I wanted to root with magisk using fastboot. Unfortunately, I had flashed boot a magisk.img which was not compatible with OnePlus Nord N100.
The phone is currently stuck in Fastboot Mode. I have tried several times to flash boot it back to its original boot.img, unfortunately it does not work.
Every time I try to go to Recovery Mode, it leads me right back to the Fastboot main menu. I can turn off the phone and reboot it with no issues.
I believe I have soft bricked it, and I need help recovering it back to it's original state, or better yet root it in a riskless way.
Here is a list of commands and techniques I have tried so far:
- Fastboot -w
- Fastboot erase cache
- Fastboot erase boot
- Fastboot erase boot_a
- Fastboot erase boot_b
- Fastboot boot boot.img (Ends up with a failure)
- Fastboot flash boot boot.img (Command is successful, but no changes for boot)
- Tried all combinations keys to go to Recovery Mode (Power button + Volume Down Button + Volume Up Button)
Thank you for helping me out if you can.

Hey mate,
Thanks for responding. Sorry for the late reply.
From what you had suggested, I did "fastboot --set-active=a" , "fastboot flash boot boot.img", and "fastboot reboot" (with the stock unpatched boot.img) the commands were successful once again, but there were no effective changes.
Afterwards, I did "fastboot --setactive-b", "fastboot flash boot boot.img", and "fastboot reboot" the commands were successful once more, and this time, I was finally able to go into recovery mode. On the other hand, in recovery mode I wiped the cache and erased everything, but unfortuantely I still could not boot into Android, even though I tried to flash boot the image once more.
Thank you for these commands, as I was at least able to recover recovery mode.
Any other suggestions maybe?

Hello,
Use this tool and it will fix it, I had the same problem. Just download the software and flash it in Qualcomm EDL mode.

Hello,
I used the tool MSMDownload but unfortunately I was unable at all to boot into Qualcomm Edl mode, even though I have installed correctly all the drivers for Windows Qualcomm, and OnePlus USB drivers, and used the correct method (Volume Button UP and Down at the same time whilst connecting the phone via USB). I tried flash booting with the boot.img you gave me, but still no changes. I am still stuck in Fastboot.
If you had encountered the same issue back then, can you tell me the excat procedure you did please?
Thank you so much.

I was in the exact same situation after flashing boot.img from one plus nord by mistake.
It got so bad it was totally bricked and just got into EDL mode by holding down the up and down volume buttons and holding power on. Even the screen didn't work.
Once that started, MSMDownload tool from the N100 thread worked fine, you downloaded the proper package right?
Which model does it say on the back? This was BE2013.
I think solution for you is a fastboot image, I extracted the payload.bin to .img files and brought it back to life with it and rooted it with magisk.
The boot.img I uploaded here was from Oxygen OS 10.5.5.
If you have fastboot you should 100% be able to boot into EDL mode, just hold down the up and down volume buttons for long time and then the power button
Thanks

I will try to make a fastboot image for OnePlus NORD N100 BE2013 with 10.5.5 and upload it to mega, I'll send you the link. If you are in fastboot mode you will be able to flash it I believe, let me have a look.

Fast boot image is ready for Oxygen 10.5.5 Nord N100 EUROPE, I am uploading it to MEGA.

Thank you that's very kind of you. I think the only way to fix it by flash boot.img, but I have doubts because it does not work.
The only commands I am doing are "fastboot devices", "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

With the fastboot image you will be able to flash everything, it contains not only boot.img but system and etc. I managed to boot mine and bring it back to life by reflashing everyhing.

So the only thing I need to do is "fastboot flash boot ''.img" right?
Where can I get all the nesscary files?
And how did you manage to root it?

The fastboot image flashes all partitions, not just boot with stock Oxygen OS 10.5.5
What you need to do is run flash-all.bat from the archive and it will flash the entire os not just boot.img.
If you can't get to EDL mode, fastboot flash is the only solution. What model does it say in the back? This one was EUROPE BE2013.
Is your EU or Global device?
Archive is uploading still.
Thanks

The model is the correct one. BE2013, although it does not say EU or anything.
In the archive, I would just need to run flash-all.bat which flash boots all the nesscary images correct?
Thank you once agian.

2.55 GB file on MEGA
mega.nz
This is a fastboot image for OnePlus NORD N100 EU BE2013 device.
Extract it to a new folder, it contains fastboot in it.
Right click flash-all.bat and run as admin.
You can open the flash-all.bat file with notepad to check yourself there is nothing strange in it. I used a bat file from the forum that was fastboot image for OnePlus NORD and changed it to use the .img files for OnePlus NORD N100.
Contains Oxygen 10.5.5, once you bring it back to life (IF YOU HAVE THIS MODEL), you can use magisk to patch the boot.img and flash it via fastboot.
This is how I rooted it and it worked properly.
Please use it with caution and ensure your model matches! I can not guarantee it will work on other devices.
If you can't go to EDL mode, this is your way to go, but I don't know if flashing GLOBAL version will work.
Thanks

General Soft bricked when update C.62 to C.63, help needed please.

I was on C.62 AA with a working Magisk.
Yesterday I tried to update to C.63 AA with following steps:
1. Disable all Magisk module and reboot.
2. Restore Stock Image from Magisk Manager.
3. Update to C.63 from System Settings menu.
4. Install Magisk to inactive slot, then reboot.
That's it.
After reboot, my OP9P starts, but can't get into lock screen. Instead it only show black screen with a nonstop vibration.
I didn't do backup since I was NOT expecting this to happen.
Now I'm desperate for any help to unbick it or at lease get my files in sdcard back.
I can go into bootloader and fastbootd mode. ANY help would be much appreciated.

Unfortunately the only thing that's going to get device up and going again is msm or factory reset. You could possibly get a boot without wiping if you have untouched boot images of build you were on but then you don't know which side it booted to. I'd factory reset . Or keep device dead. You will still have patched boot.img so just reinstall magisk manager after reset.

I do have untouched boot images(C.63 AA) from the other thread.
I did try to "fastboot boot boot.img", result the same -- black screen with a nonstop vibration.
I think something went wrong during the update process.
Maybe flashing a stock rom in fastboot mode will help, but I don't know how and I can't find any info about howto flash OxygenOS 12 in fastboot on OP9P.

what you can try is the c63 full rom via fastbootd with the tool Fastboot Enhance to flash
[TOOL][Windows] Fastboot Enhance [Payload Dumper & Image Flasher]
Fastboot Enhance What it can do? - Show fastboot vars - Switch between fastbootd & bootloader - Switch between A & B slot - Flash Payload.bin in fastbootd - Flash images - Erase partitions - Delete logical partitions - Create logical partitions...

but that will be difficult because there is no aa full rom (only india) since the update to c63 was only released globally as an incremental update

The problem came up when you tried carrying root over. I've had issues as well . Make sure your on 25.2 magisk manager, disable all modules . Only uninstall magisk,restore images,start system update when finished don't reboot. Go into magisk install to inactive slot for ota. And reboot.

Just flash the full DA C.63 over it using FBE. Make sure you go to the partitions screen and search cow and delete all cow partitions before you flash or you will brick. This should at least enable you to get your files backed up so you can MSM.
Before that though, go to fastboot and try fastboot --getvar current-slot to find out what slot you're on. From there do fastboot --set-active=a or --set-active=b, whichever is not active currently. Fastboot reboot and see if your old OTA boots.

fastboot flash only flashes the active slot and does not switch to the inactive slot.. and fastboot boot only boots an image that you have specified

FBE's slot changer doesn't always work in my experience. Both times I tried it for the purposes of changing the slot to boot from, it didn't actually change the slot, but when I switched slots to choose which to install to, that worked correctly. I only tell people to use things I'm confident work correctly and I know fastboot slot switching is one of those things that does.

I also noticed that if you change the slot with fbe, the active slot is still displayed in fbe, but if you then reconnect the cell phone to the pc, fbe then shows that it has changed the slot

Question Did I hard brick my phone? (SOLVED)

First off, I converted my Tmo version to EU using the MSM conversion tool... I then proceeded to fastboot flash the A13 OTA manually. (I was hoping to keep the bootloader unlocked by manually flashing) At the point that I needed to reboot in to fastbootD to flash critical partitions, I couldnt get it to do so. I may have hit recovery mode while in the bootloader and my phone just went blank. Now I can only access EDL mode but I cant get any of the MSM tools to work.
I get an "IMEI is incorrect" error with the TMo-EU MSM, Global MSM says "invalid target TMo" so it recognizes it as tmobile.
below are the fastboot commands I entered. Is there anything that would completely brick my phone and erase recovery and bootloader??
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cpucp cpucp.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash modem modem.img
fastboot flash oplusstanvbk oplusstanvbk.img
fastboot flash oplus_sec oplus_sec.img
fastboot flash qweslicstore qweslicstore.img
fastboot flash shrm shrm.img
fastboot flash splash splash.img

fastboot flash vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_vendor.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
fastboot flash vm-bootsys vm-bootsys.img

In MSM tool, there's a check box which says 'Use Lite Firehose'. can you tick that once and try again ?

Sorry for your situation...for future concerns, once u unlock bootloader, theres nothing other than msm that will relock it. As far as restoring your phone, I've seen where some ppl who can't find luck with their correct msm tool, they've had to use EU, or in most cases IND msm. Again, u will have to check box for lite firehose for it to work.
Also another thing to note...u really need to use regular style USB cable. Not newer ones that are C to C. If u haven't tried the cable problem I'd go back and try older style cable with correct msm tool b4 trying IND msm.

thanks for the reply. Actually, I upgraded through MSM Tmo-EU and then took system updates up til the latest A12 OTA... after installing A13 .16 that I got through Oxygen updater, I was no longer able to unlock the bootloader! I cant remember ever relocking it but either way, I couldnt unlock on Android 13 stable.
I'm beginning to wonder if maybe it's this Windows 7 pc thats giving me problems. but I've successfully used it before to MSM... just did my OnePlus 7t to get it back to working state while I try to figure out this 9pro situation. I've tried several cables and all of the MSMs at this point. I'm getting "device doesnt match image" a lot now. With my luck, I got home to try my laptop and the harddrive has crapped out on it! ha
I wonder if theres a way to modify the MSM tool to just flash to any Oneplus 9pro without identifying the variant. I know that would be dangerous, but at this point I just need SOMETHING to work! Or the next option is sending it back to OnePlus under warranty (I didnt request an unlock token etc so should still be good)

BTW, I've been doing this whole rooting/roming thing for a long time and I've also manually flashed through fastboot 100 times on different devices. I have NEVER ended up not being able to boot in to bootloader etc. I still dont understand how I lost bootloader and recovery etc flashing what I did,. Any ideas?

I'm not sure either. So after u converted using conversion tool, u booted into OS and then u needed to unlock BL once more, correct? It's strange u lost bootloader/recovery completely.

Yes, I had been running on A13 for a few days. Got the itch to root but as I said, I couldnt unlock bootloader (kept saying to flash token) so I decided to start the whole process over, unlock the bootloader and try to manually flash A13 instead of doing a local upgrade. (hadnt hit OTA for me yet)
During the process, theres a point where you have to boot in to fastbootD to flash critical partitions that wont flash in regular fastboot.... using the commands "fastboot reboot fastboot" wouldnt get me to fastbootD as I read it's supposed to. I think during all that and scrolling through the bootloader menu, I hit "recovery mode" which was apparently wiped because I just went straight to a black screen and thats where it's been ever since. I did all the button combos etc thinking it would just go back to bootloader but to no avail.
I wish there was a way to do manual commands in EDL or something. Maybe bootloader is there just that it's not responding to the hardware keys?

Oh. When u tried to unlock BL did u try "fastboot oem unlock? Yeh usually, eben if I mess up with msm or flashing imgs, it will kind of get stuck in edl, and I have to hold all three hardware buttons for some time b4 it will finally respond

Have you tried any of the older "all in one tools/fastboot enhance" posted on here in the past for older OP devices to see if they can do anything
Also, when I've had trouble in there past trying to find the right msm tool to work, each time I try one, if it shows connected on pc, then I try to run it, even if it fails, it kind of bricks edl, so I'd have to hold all three buttons to reset edl then try again(and it takes a little longer to respond than normal). If ur out of options other than returning it, id try the IND msm, check "lite firehose" and uncheck "sha256 check" and see if u have any luck

First I'd try holding all 3 buttons an UNGODLY long period of time and see if it finally boots to bootloader. Sometimes it takes for ever to shut down and restart. Then plug into pc use a USB 2 port if you have one. If pc sees the phone. If it does try adb devices in cmd terminal. If it list device try adb reboot bootloader and see if it boots.

I've tried the IND MSM gives me an "unsuspected target TMO" error or something like that. So at least some tools are seeing it as TMo... Tmo tools say the device doesnt match! I'll have to find another computer or 2 to try.. I was supposed to ship off my oneplus 7t tomorrow for trade in on this 9 pro but now I'm using the 7t again as it's my only working device. this has been a headache. lol
thanks for the feedback. I'm trying everything I can think of and researching too

Whew! I finally got it using EU MSM and the perfect combonation of cord/usb port, I guess. I had 3 cords, 10 usb ports and 5-6 MSMtools and after 2 days and probably 8+ hours of trying, I got my phone to boot again. lol

Actually, I upgraded through MSM Tmo-EU and then took system updates up til the latest A12 OTA... after installing A13 .16 that I got through Oxygen updater, I was no longer able to unlock the bootloader! I cant remember ever relocking it but either way, I couldnt unlock on Android 13 stable.
I'm beginning to wonder if maybe it's this Windows 7 pc thats giving me problems. but I've successfully used it before to MSM... just did my OnePlus 7t to get it back to working state while I try to figure out this 9pro situation. I've tried several cables and all of the MSMs at this point. I'm getting "device doesnt match image" a lot now. With my luck, I got home to try my laptop and the harddrive has crapped out on it! ha
I wonder if theres a way to modify the MSM tool to just flash to any Oneplus 9pro without identifying the variant. I know that would be dangerous, but at this point I just need SOMETHING to work! Or the next option is sending it back to OnePlus under warranty (I didnt request an unlock token etc so should still be good)

You can use python3 to decrypt the .ops file, edit the first line parameters in the settings.ini, then python3 to encrypt the folder that was decrypted. Slow process but gives extra options.....
