Try to flash fastboot rom in this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424

It looks like MSM is working now. (I think it wasnt working because I was running it in a VM on a MAC, now that Ive switched to a win 10 machine all looks good.)
Thank you all for the help!

Thats a pretty key piece of information you left out. Jodin is an option but I was never able to get it to work on my Mac.

Using that guide on a windows computer was the only thing that worked for me, unfortunately. I haven't checked the Jodin thread recently but it appeared like the developers were no longer working on it.
I haven't tried bootcamp since I dont have a windows software key, but I would assume that would work. Definitely worth a shot.
had to install VMware, got everything working tho' thanks again @brholt6 for the link

Nice. Glad you got it working! If I ever run in to trouble while I'm out on this job site with only my Mac I might have to send you a PM on how you got it done!

Oneplus 6 stuck in fast boot loop

Yesterday I rooted my phone using twrp but decided to reinstall stock and lock the bootloader, however when I did this my phone got stuck in fastboot. can not turn the phone off it just constantly boots to fastboot. Adb commands do not work and can not flash anything to phone. Please help, I'm desperate
Look for msm download tool here in the guides forum., it will reset your phone by wiping everything! And even relock bootloader.
Also, welcome to xda. Please use search before making threads.

Flash.all.partition.bat in the link above will get you booted atleast.. From there you can probably get a locked BL again.

One Plus 7 Pro 5G UK - Bricked PLIS HELP.

Yep, thats right, another thread about a bricked OPO
I made the mistake of deciding to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and run a custom rom, after about 10 minutes of being awake.
Long story short, my device is now stuck in bootloop. I have no recovery on the device anymore, not even stock OPO, and obviously no rom.
I belive this is because i ran the fastboot command, 'fastboot flash boot twrp.img' instead of 'fastboot boot twrp.img' either way....
Device will boot into fastboot, and I THINK, it boots into EDL. The device shows in device manager, and in MSM software, but there is no notice on the screen of the device.
I have tried to get back up and running using both methods below to no joy.
Flashing

MSM
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/op7pro-collection-unbrick-tools-t3956595
On the back of my device, there is a sticker, which displays my IMEI number, Serial etc etc, and shows the model of my device being GM1920, a model number I see no where in this forum. So now I'm thinking, "Do I have a device thats not compatable with all this, all i see is GM21AA, GM21AB etc etc.
Some body please give me something to go off, I've had android devices for 10+ years and have never managed to brick a phone into non exsistance. I can provide as much detail as you would like, anything that would help you to help me.

Heya, Ive checked em.
I've managed to fix the issue now, as you probably know, I was being a derp, and just not getting the right varient of fastboot rom for my device, I just didnt have my head screwed on properly lol. Anyway, the device works, I have stock rom, recovery, phone boots into EDL and displays the message as it should, everythings working right. Just need to get TWRP flashed and get a custom rom running now.
Appreciate your reply!! Can I still join in telegram? Would be nice to be in a community with GM1925/GM1920 users.

How do I get back to stock Oxygen OS on OnePlus 8T

Sorry for posting this but I have been using AOSP extended for the last couple of days and I want to get back to the stock Oxygent Os. I've Pixel experience recovery installed.
I'm having a hard time finding any usable link to get back to Stock. Can someone help?
You're going to need a PC and MSMtool to restore to stock OOS.

Read the MSM Tool thread OP carefully - it has the answer.

ADB and 8T

Okay... I've been searching all over the net for this problem and I keep getting posts that skirt the issue. At least, that's what it seems. So I will begin and you can decide... and thanks for whatever info you can throw my way.
Brand new OnePlus 8T. I want to root it. Duh. So, Got the Tiny ADB and Fastboot package and all the rest, but the issue is with unlocking the bootloader. Other problems may appear later, but this is the issue now.
So, connect phone to PC (Windows 8.1) and the only way that ABD recognizes my phone is when the USB prefs are set to 'No Data Transfer". Yes, I have installed the proper drivers from the phone. So, when the 'No Data Transfer' is selected, ADB recognizes the phone and will issue the command, ABD Reboot Bootloader and the phone reboots to the bootloader. Nice! Unfortunately, it appears that once the phone has booted to the bootloader, it has changed the USB Prefs and now ADB and fastboot do not see the phone. Obviously this sucks. And here is the problem. As far as I know, I have ticked off on all the proper settings. USB Debugging, etc. No joy!
I found a post elsewhere that showed how to set the default USB mode and that didn't work either. My experience has been that ADB used to see the phone under the 'File Transfer' and PTP options before, but it doesn't now. I can't explain this.
So, pretty frustrated. This shouldn't be so bloody difficult. It's only a couple of commands and I have done this with other phones in the past so it's not like I have no previous experience. But I have already wasted way too much time here this go around. Anyone have an answer? I'll be your best friend!!
Thanks all..

Ok, that appears to have solved the driver problem. I was able to finally unlock the bootloader and flash twrp. Now it is stuck in a boot loop.. fun fun!
I had been following this guide
How to Install Official TWRP Recovery on OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8T and Root it
OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8T (codename: instantnoodle/kebab) was launched in the year April and October 2020 with Android 10 and 11 respectively. Recently
www.getdroidtips.com
to root my 8T, but it appears that this fellow was missing some info? I take it ya can't just flash twrp to recovery like usual. The picture is slowly coming together.. much more complex than the last few times I have rooted phones.
So I assume that flashing twrp writes over the stock recovery.. and that leads to this crashdump mode popping up. To fix this, I will need the stock recovery.img and flash that back into place? Feel free to chime in and thanks in advance!

Flashing TWRP doesn't cause CrashDumps. They happen when you try to boot the system and something's not right.
You could try changing slots and then rebooting. That sometimes works (depending on what else you've done). You can do this in either TWRP or bootloader.
PS: if you use the reply button, then I'll be advised that you've posted a reply. Otherwise you'll have to wait until the next time I look to see if there's new posts in a thread.

Alrighty! Changing the slots did bring the phone back and it is now booting properly. But if I try to boot into recovery, it fails and goes to crashdump. Any ideas? Bad twrp image??

Hi guys, to root the 8T it's by magisk_patched.img via magisk manager, not twrp (it's old school),
Root FR (sorry a'm frenche, and better explain to me.)
since Android 11 twrp is less good ...

What I like about TWRP is that I can do things without needing a PC. So rooting, back up and restore, install new ROMs, ...
And now, with version 3.6.0, TWRP works well on Android 11

Yes, that works,
but don't be surprised to have instabilities in the ROM!
I already had some,
by magisk patch it's more cleaner,
But you are a big boy.

that's not the problem to use it for years,
myself with android 10, I was using it, I was already using magisk in 2015, on my Sony z5c (with lineage 7.0.2/ base is the ROM Orange Telecom owner... )
but since Android 11, the data decryption is no longer the same.
just the 30 second twrp boot, I don't really like it, so restored a system with something like that ... lol
Magisk is the best Root solution!
I like this!
Since the magisk_patched has become root's solution, to A11.

You like croquettes and the mash?

If they could fix the interminable start up time for TWRP that would be brilliant. But I believe the problem is with a file system check rather than the actual decryption which is quite fast.
Sorry, croquettes and mash aren't in my menu. But empanadas - absolutely!
Sorry, I had to leave this for a day or so, but I am back. BillGoss, looking at the guide I posted a link to earlier, would you say that guide is acceptable or are there issues with it? Theoretically that is? And does it depend on what build you are using?
Or if you know of a better process and files, please feel free to point me at it.
Many thanks

Actually a trick you can use is in twrp if you have the magisk APK change the ext to zip and install in twrp it patches the boot img for you in right slot so you don't have to pull img from phone
