download mode?

So I downloaded the drivers and nvflash, unzipped into their respective folders, but I'm then I'm done lol. I took the battery out, held volume up/down, and plugged up USB. All I'm getting is an LG Logo. Is that right? On my sgs2, it actually shows that it goes into download mode. Not so on this phone? Also, I'm on windows xp and its not reconizing this device. Ideas? Info? I'd REALLY like to get this device rooted and juiced up. Need to make a point to nay sayer wife

Try a different USB cable. With both volume buttons held when you plug in the phone with battery out system should recognize it and ask to install drivers. Post again if that does not happen.

to get into download mode yes you must unplug all connected media to the P-999, this includes your microSD and battery, wait 5 - 10 seconds before plugging in the power cord to the computer to ensure no electrical currents are running through the device, hold Vol +/- and plug in the device, WinXP should have a pop-up in the taskbar at this point stating that it's recognized as APX device, once it says that you've entered download mode. The screen should remain to look like it's still off during this process.
If WinXP isn't recognizing the device as APX, then double check to make sure you have extracted the ZIP's respectively, should be NvFlash, and APX. If you've already done that, then go into device manager. Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Device Manager.
Within the Device Manager you will notice APX with a yellow question mark next to it, double click on APX in Device Manager and re-install the driver. AFTER you have disconnected your device, then try and enter download mode again.

When you're installing the APX driver, if it comes up with an error saying something similiar to "INF is not digitally signed", then you have to disable windows security features in order to install the software.

I had that exact problem and on windows 8 it was a pain to do. It had to be done from the reboot screen and the first time I did it my computer's screen went black and would not turn on after rebooting for a few hours. Still have no idea why it did that lol. Looks like he's running an earlier version of windows which is better for everything we do here anyway lol

[Help] Bricked my Nexus what's next? :(

Hi, this situation is kind of strange and I hope it's just the battery and not the whole goddamn phone.
What I'm dealing with at the moment is:
The phone doesn't boot
When plugged onto charger or USB cable it boots but stuck at Google logo after a blink and stays there. Also, Home, Back and other buttons are lighten.
When "forcefully" put into fastboot mode, e.g. after plugging it onto USB and instantly pressing Vol Up + Power it stuck there as well, volume rocker no more response neither does the power button. Also, I notice there are no commands at the end like "USB int" etc we see normally.
Fastboot or ADB returns no device found
Please help. I personally believe it could be due to battery, what do you guys think?
Thank you.

As long as you can see the google logo, your device is not bricked. GIve more useful information; like your computer operating system, the last thing you did before this happened, etc.

Thanks. My OS is Windows 8.1 Update 1. The last thing was to install UPDATE-SuperSU to root so that I can install ROM Manager to update Recovery but the installation was aborted so I attempt to flash it via Fastboot with success. Then, wanted to install SlimKat but it couldn't let me mount USB storage so that I can put the .zip file. I, then stupidly click on install via ADB but didn't know how to go back so I pulled the battery and powered up; used ADP push command to transfer said the file, but again for some reason I had to pull the battery and since then I am in above position.

Put the device in bootloader and plug it into the computer, be patient, my phone is rather slow to get detected sometimes.. (Up to 30 min.) Check your drivers on the computer, try rebooting the boot loader from just pressing the power button (while in boot loader mode)..
If all else fails, read up on Wugs NRTK page and about ODIN...

Hi, device doesn't go into bootloader without plugging it to computer (I've to press required buttons BEFORE plugging OTG cable). And when it boots in fastboot mode it doesn't let me press any button either. I kept it plugged in for sometime as well when it when it was at Google logo; will try to do the same while in fastboot mode too and let you know. As for drivers, same computer was used before when it was working and it detected just fine immediately (gave me a pain to find the right drivers though - PDANet was a life saver).
EDIT:
I should mention that I broke the OS before this happened by formatting /system folder and wiping other data from CWM recovery - I think, I also rebooted it without flashing the ROM as well.

I recently had to update my drivers on my computer.. after it did an update, my phone wasn't recognized..
Try Wugs Nexus Root Toolkit,.. use the options for "bricked".. do this from the bootloader screen (power/volume +)...
I don't have experience with ODIN, so you'll need to read that forum/threads...

The problem is, even the Toolkit doesn't recognize the device no matter what. Even the keys for ODIN don't work, aren't they Home+VOL+ and Power?
EDIT1:
Kept plugged in for little longer as suggested but it heats up (it's too hot here) so I plugged out. Going to be running it off of Linux and lets see how it goes. :fingers-crossed:
EDIT2:
Tried Adam's UnBrickable method on Linux and even that couldn't find device. But that was to be expected since Adam clearly mentioned in his post that this tool isn't for those who see anything on their screen.

Whelp! Currently I can only see I:\ drive in device manager and that's all under portable devices and that's all. I see the same even in BIOS boot options, it's listed as "Google".

Guess need to close this thread now.

Unbrick tool for OnePlus 7 (MSMTOOL Hydrogen Version)

After using this tool you will have the chinese rom installed. (H2OS = Hydrogen OS)
Instructions how to use can be found: HERE
There is only one difference. To boot into Qualcomm download mode you need to press Volume up + Volume down when phone is powered off.
There is also a guide on YouTube. --> LINK
You can easily go to OxygenOS with official Updater app.
Just download OxygenOS OTA.zip and choose it with updater.
After reboot i personally would factory reset the phone.

I think the steps should be clear. It's always the same since OnePlus 3/T. There is only one little different thing.

Hi friend, what is that different thing you say? Some is the first time we have a OnePlus, so we do not know.
Another question I have is that my OnePlus 7 works fine, but I wanted to see if this program recognizes me my OnePlus in case I ever need it, how can I enter the necessary mode to be detected by this program?
I press volume up and volume down and then I connect the cable, at that moment the program makes me "connected" (see attached image, left side), but after a few seconds it appears that "disconnected" and the phone restarts and OSS starts .
When I connect it, the images "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3) appear in the device manager.
I do not understand why my mobile when I connect it by pressing the volume buttons and without touching anything of the program it appears that connected and after a few seconds it disconnects itself and OOS restarts.
Regards, and thank you very much.

The different part is you need to press volume up and volume down. With the older phones there was only one button. Don't remember volume up or down.
Not sure why your phone disconnecting automatically.

Hi friend, could you try if the same thing happens to you?

Made the mistake of locking my bootloader directly and bricked the hell out of my standard 7. I kept getting "Your device is corrupt and it can't be trusted". No Recovery accessible, only bootloader.
Followed the steps here and everything is back to normal now!

Hello friend, could you help me to know why when I connect my device appears as connected and after 10 seconds it automatically restarts the OOS operating system? My phone works well, it's just a test to know if one day I have a brick to know that this program works in my case.
I would need (now that your device works, like mine) to start in a way that the program detects and looks "connected", then wait a moment and without pressing any button on the program or phone to see if it restarts alone. I am thinking that if the phone works well, the program when connected only starts the system automatically.
Read some messages above in case I have not explained myself well.
Could someone who has a good phone confirm this? Can the program attempt to automatically restart the device if the "Start" button of MsmDownloadTool is not pressed within 10 seconds?
Thanks greetings.

hello, thanks for trying it, then that happens, if it is not locked it restarts, or maybe the EDL mode restarts for security if you don't press Start on the Msm tool.
---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------
Indeed we have already resolved the doubt about why EDL mode is disconnected after 10 seconds. It is a security system, you have 10 seconds to press Start. here another partner who has tried it and that happened to him, until he hit start and flashed everything well.

I see that you sent a private message to me also and mentioned that you got into the Bootloader. That is not what you need.
First of all, you will need to install the qualcom drivers from here: https://www.androidjungles.com/qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-driver-64-bit-windows/
Afterwards, you will need to hold both volume buttons, and after a few seconds connect your phone to the computer via cable (while still holding the volume buttons).
The phone will be detected as a Qualcom device and you cand start following the tutorial that was provided earlier.

Hello friend, I already managed to enter the EDL mode correctly, the doubt is that when I connected it after 10 seconds, the phone disconnected and relapsed. That's why I said that if I could test now that your phone works, it also automatically restarts without touching any Msm program button once connected in EDL mode.

Something with EDL mode in OP7 is currently wrong.
As the predecessors wrote, after connecting, it is interrupted after a few seconds and the phone reboots.
I also have OP3, OP6 in them after the EDL mode is switched on the connection is maintained all the time.

That's what @Thelargeportion wrote at OP7Pro thread:
"Yes, it did on mine. I've just used this tool to recover from root to stock.
Noted that if the program isn't started within 10 seconds, the phone rebooted automatically, I'm guessing as some sort of security lock. Restarted in EDL, connected to the MSMDownloadtool and executed the program as soon as it was connected and it flashed absolutely fine.
Note that after the phone is restarted after a successful flash, it takes about 1-2 minutes to boot again having stuck on the OnePlus boot logo."
Could be true. But nevermind... It works and that's important.:laugh:

Yes, it is the most important thing that it flashes the system image.
However, it does not maintain a permanent session in EDL as
in previous OnePlus models, and that may be worrying.

Hello friend, yes, that happens to all of us, it is not an isolated case, but if once you enter EDL mode and connect the phone to the PC and it appears "connected", you press start and everything works. You must press start in 10 seconds since entering EDL mode, once you press start, it no longer restarts and blinks correctly.
This of the 10 seconds occurs in all OnePlus 7 series (normal and PRO).
Comment where I ask about 10 seconds and colleagues confirm that they used the tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79997414&postcount=54

bricked: a confession,

1) stuck in bootloader
2) changed to B slot thru terminal . following a thread I guess
3) got into recovery (.IMG) but couldn't flash zip
4) seen "edl" and thought, what's that? So I clicked it
5) screen now blank
6) buttons have no response
7) I've owned the phone for 2 days (new)
Am I out a lot of $ or is there a hope for me

does your computer detect the phone at all when you plug it in? I know it isn't responsive, but try powering it on when you plug it in via USB and see if your PC detects anything.

Seems like you stuck at edl mode. Try holding vol down (or up) + power buttons for at least 30 seconds. Than you can try flashing stock rom from fastboot mode.

Everytine I plug it in (windows8: test mode) the PC makes a sound but can't seem t find the device in the device manager.
Msmdownload tool finds nothing

Hold volume up + power button together for 10 to 30 seconds. Then release. Wait a few seconds. Now press and hold power button until it vibrates to see if it boots

OnePlus 7pro bought directly from OnePlus
( i think its GM1915)
windows 10 pc
device manager lists phone as Kedacom USB Device ---> Android Bootloader Interface
i downloaded "10.0.3-GLOBAL-OnePlus7ProOxygen_21.O.23_OTA_023_all_1912032357_76b445-FASTBOOT"
ran the "flash-all" batch file
when it's done, phone reboots into "Qualcomm: CrashDump"
I can press the up+down volume buttons w/ the power button and get back to Fastboot mode
I can also get into the Chinese mode.. with that, i click ENGLISH then WIPE EVERYTHING
still no luck.... truly is an interesting BRICK

Well, you can try flashing using "TOOL ALL IN ONE".

Did you try the MSMtool?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/msm-tool-guac-t3934691/amp/

I also bricked mine a couple days ago , restored it by using MNSTOOL , you can find threads or youtube videos how to use it , it will finish it in around 5 minutes and also it will lock the bootloader.

so many times i've tried the msmdownload tool
my device is not recognized... so i figure it's the driver
i followed the instructions.. it says with phone off ,hold the vol up+down for 5 secs then plug in to usb on pc
the drivers should auto download into the pc
it did.. i see in Device Manager under PORTS the qualcomm driver appear when phone is plugged in
but phone is in Qualcomm CrashDump mode
when i reboot to FASTBOOT MODE (by holding volume up+down and power button) the Device Manager
recognizes the phone as Kedacom USB Device/Android Bootloader Interface
(not Qualcomm)
and of course MSMDownload tool does not recognize phone... i'll keep trying

I will tell you the full guide.
1. Extract msm(whatever).zip
2. Turn off your phone
3. Open msm.exe (green icon) as admin
5. Hold vol+ and vol- for 30 (no less)
5. Connect usb while holding both volume buttons and release after connecting the usb
6. As soon as you connect the usb hit start.

i figure it's the driver.. windows keeps installing a specific driver for the phone.
but i think it's the wrong driver
(doesnt say QUALCOMM in the device manager)
so now i have to force install the driver
by right clicking on the phone in the device manager and working thru the menu to get to 'HAVE DISK'
so i have to be in windows as an admin
https://www.technipages.com/windows-administrator-account-login-screen
then after downloading the Qualcomm driver in a .cab file as admin i can right click and choose install .cab file
***AAAAAND nope can't right click to have "install" appear in the menu
FUDGE FUDGE FUDGE
all because windows says the driver is already installed... and has a kaed???? driver instead of the Qualcomm
can my life with this phone be any more difficult??

You can just use the drivers which are provided in the msm archive.

but i get error "An error occurred trying to open - c:\usb.cab Error: 0x80070003
maybe i have to rename it KB(+number).cab in order for it to work (instead of usb.cab)
NOPE THAT DIDNT WORK

OnePlus 8T Dead (Solved)

When I used the Fastboot Enhance tool to flash the payload.bin file, after the flash process finished I try to reboot but unfortunately it was dead.
No Fastboot, no EDL, no recovery, 3 buttons not working, power with up/down not working, when i connect to PC no sound that the pc recognize the phone "OP 8T", when I plug it into charger no info showing, Just black screen.
So it's working now, I'll explain everything here so it might help.
My device is OnePlus 8T DDR5 version
first, I understand what happened to me, I think the tool didn't recognize ram type automatically so it was flash DDR4 on a DDR5 device, so it made a hard brick
at this point, the idea is to connect 2 test points, and you can force your phone to enter to EDL mode, and we can do it in two ways:
1. Rootk1t giude, thax bro Rootk1t
- Removing the back panel by heating it.
- Unplugging battery
- Then use the EDL points on the motherboard to force the device to boot EDL.
- The device immediately will be recognised with just one tap on "enum" now.
- Plugging the battery again and attaching the back panel and rebooting
2. By using deep EDL cable, but not any edl cable, it must be a moded cable so it can be worked with the new security ...... this link will explain
Hydra Tool Gift Xiaomi, Huawei, Redmi Qualcomm EDL Mode New V2 Cable!! - GSM-Forum
Hydra Tool Gift Xiaomi, Huawei, Redmi Qualcomm EDL Mode New V2 Cable!! Hydra Tool New Type-C EDL cable Schematic With this cable you can reboot your
forum.gsmhosting.com
- So i use Hydra EDL Cble V2 , you can buy it from aliexpress
- Be ready and open your MSM tool
- Press the cable button before connecting
- Connect the cable to your phone when you still pressing the button
- Then connect the USB to your PC
- It will automatically put your phone in EDL mode
- Now your phone will show in the MSM tool screen so you can revive it.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help.
Special thanks to Rootk1t , semdoc

Are you sure no EDL? Did you try the msm tool to restore to factory settings?

Seem like you flashed the wrong xml for the ram type. There is one for ddr4 and ddr5. If EDL is not working I'm afraid according to several post it's an unrecoverable brick...sorry mate!!!
However keep searching for a solution, you never know maybe a new method of recovery from this disaster may exist. I'll keep searching and if I find anything I'll post it here!
Also have you tried the 3 buttons connected from charger and disconnected? Usually for some reason my phone won't respond with the 3 buttons when connected to usb sometimes.
Also have you used the msm tool before?

Just one more thing, when you connect the phone to pc check your device manager to see if the PC reads the phone. If it does than its just a driver issue and reinstalling the qualcom driver for msm maybe needed.

I've found that sometimes I have to reinstall the Qualcomm drivers for EDL. So check that when you connect the phone to the PC in EDL mode there isn't an entry in Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT)

I can't know which mode the phone is stuck on, because I have only a black screen, even the Power button with volume up / down not working,
do you think if I keep it for a couple of days the battery will drain and I can use MSM tool with press 2 volume buttons, it's the last thing i think about

I would open it up and remove the battery instead of waiting for days but that's also an option. It's not that hard to open, I opened mines to replace the usb port. I just held the back of the bottom corners of the phone over the stove until it was hot enough to soften the glue and used an old credit card and my thumb nail to open it. It maybe unrecoverable anyway so its worth a try.

I've had a totally black screen at times in Qualcomm Crashdump Mode. To get out of it you can use Power+Vol up and then, when the phone buzzes, use the key combination for bootloader or MSM.

I tried a lot to press Volume Up + Power & Volume Down + Power & the 3 buttons, but with no response.
I can't feel any buzz, even I tried it when the phone connected to the PC, no sound come from PC prove that the phone is connected

Please keep us updated with any current queries or resolution as I'm very interested in the outcome.
Thank you!

Hello!
If waiting for battery to discharge will not help you, i suggest of:
- Removing the back panel by heating it.
- Unplugging battery
- Then using the EDL points on the motherboard to force the device to boot EDL.
-The device immediately will be recognised by just one tap on "enum" now.
- Plugging the battery again and attaching back panel and rebooting.
