So, my phone's bricked - it won't boot, just brings up fastboot. As the solution to this problem appears to be to use the MSM tool to do an "actual" factory reset, I downloaded the MSM tool, and the decrypted ROM from this link: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682918291.
First I tried this on a Windows 7 VirtualBox VM (I use Ubuntu on my actual computer). The drivers didn't even install right it seems, and the device (in EDL mode) wasn't even recognized. Then I tried it on my mom's Windows 10 laptop. MSM never showed the device as connected. I think possibly the lack of a USB 2 port could be the cause.
Finally I set up a basic VM with Windows 10 and a USB 2 controller, and it worked-ish. MSM recognized the device, showed it as connected and started doing its thing, but stopped at "Sahara Communication failed". What is preventing it from getting past this? I'm using the cable provided in the box. Everything is recognized correctly. I've retried multiple times but still the same result.
SUCCESS!
I had a spare laptop lying around, and it has USB 2 ports. I loaded WIndows 10 onto it and tried the MSM from there -- AND IT WORKED!
As much as I hate Qualcomm for their monopolistic business practices, I thank them for EDL mode. I also thank OnePlus for somehow failing to prevent the MSM tool from entering the hands of the public every time, and @Some_Random_Username for trafficking this good. Yeet!

The USB controller is part of VirtualBox. I think you need to download and install the extensions pack for the USB 2.0 version. The problem is that the controller is not capable of the absolute direct communication that the software needs to work, or it just doesn't connect fast enough. This would be a great example of why Windows on a USB would be great, since you could just boot it. But then MS wouldn't be able to make its billions. So we lose.
I'd try VMWare and KVM to see if they do any better. I'm not sure if WINE supports USB passthrough or not. Otherwise try to find a Windows box you can use.

I might just do that. I only wanted msm as a back up option. I am pretty sure I can fastboot flash back to stock atm anyway and I am not bricked, yet..
Don't like Android v.12 at all, so decided to test our a v 13 build. Even worse. So, decided to roll back to v11... something very bad happened along the way.
After getting the 11 dev version installed, I was installing another v11 rom and ended up with a Recovery boot loop,. Somewhere along the way while trying to fix that, my screen that will no longer come on at all. No vibrations or display no matter what I do.
Turns out, Windows could see it plugged in; albeit as Unknown Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). After lots of holding down buttons, lots of driver installs, disabling windows signatures, lots of different USB cables, leaving it on the charger overnight, and trying both USB and the USB-C ports, I finally got it to go from Unknown Device to Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
Tried MSM, but after 10-12 seconds I would get Sahara communication failed.
Back to troubling shooting... Start MSM as amin, swap usb cables, test all ports, ect., no luck.
Somewhere along the way, it seemed to get even worst... now, after 10 seconds or so after plugging in the phone, it will disconnect, followed by reconnecting a few seconds later. It is being detected as as the Qualcomm and it shows the com port it is connected to, but the device will drop out of device manager every few seconds before reconnecting. It is acting like it is in some soft of EDL bootloop.
I tried uninstalling the Qualcomm drivers and tried several different driver versions ( unsigned 2.1.0.5, Authenticode Signed 2.1.1.2, and Digitally Signed 2.1.2.2).
Outside of that, I am at a complete loss of what to try or do. Any suggestions?

First try and go ahead and pick target and the start button on MSM tool. Then try the 3 button combo till it reboots edl. When MSM tool connects it should start process without rebooting device.

So, that actually stablized the driver connection; however, it also brought be right back to Sahara Communication Failed.
Progress (I hope)!
Thread '[Solved!] MSM Download Tool Issues - Sahara Communication failed, phone exits EDL' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...communication-failed-phone-exits-edl.4245913/
Thanks for the info and links. I am on Windows 11, which seems to be an issue for some. I will see about trying it on my wife's v10 laptop tonight and see if that changes anything.
Solved!
Three button reboots and then both volume buttons to get back to EDL as soon as the driver dropped seemed to work. Took a few tries (on Win 11 using original usb-c cable) but it installed the rom and booted up.
'course, now is on an India variant, so I still gotta get back to LE2115, but that is another story for another thread.

Thanks for the link, I will give that a go.
Most of the MSM packages I could find for the LE2115 specifically either were bad links or had viruses. I did find a global version, which is what I was originally trying to use; however, when I finally got past my other issues, it gave me some sort of hardware version mismatch error in MSM (don't remember the exact message).
Somewhere along the way, someone suggested the India version. That one worked and I wasn't going to quibble at the time, as my main concern was just getting the lights to come back on.
Now I have a phone with a working display, that is my next todo...

These are def not viruses and windows has warned me of these as well on Win 11. Just accept and install. These are legit af
Completely back up and running again. Ran into the touchscreen issue, but fixed by using the linked Global MSM above.
As an FYI: the virus issue was from a FizzyAps post linking MSM for LE2115 on a Google Drive share. Couldn't download the file because it didn't pass Google's virus scan.

Good deal. That's all we here for neway is to help one another.
So i recently wanted to root my OOS 12 oneplus nord, and i bricked it..
i cant get into fastbootD, Recovery, or anything at all except fastboot, the device is detected as Android bootloader interface in device manager, i have tried using: msm tool, flashing normal rom (error: partition not found and Flashing is not allowed for critical partition)
As a last resort, this worked for me : [OPNORD][OOS AC01AA/BA/DA] Unbrick tool to restore your device to OxygenOS

worth trying another USB port too, even if they are supposed to be the exact same. Same thing happened with my laptop, tried another (presumably identical) USB port and it works first time, every time

1st, u really should find the exact drivers. But also very important to remember booting your PC into Test Mode with Driver Signature Enforcement OFF - BEFORE installing the EDL 9008 Drivers for your device.
Besides, after you press and hold both Vol buttons, u should plug the device in IMMEDIATELY, not waiting for 40 seconds, since each time the device boots into EDL mode, if there's no connection is established in 5 seconds , the device will automatically out of EDL mode.
Hey, so after some time (I got a new phone by now) I managed to fix it, turns out that i had to instantly put in the cable, just like how LinhBT Said

Hello,first thing i noticed is that msm tool finished with around 200 sec.i think that's not normal.I often use msm tool and every time finishes around over 300 sec.I see you have correct Qualcomm drivers.i'm not an expert but you must investigate a little bit more.good luck

Drivers are correct and I was flashing it with USB 3.0 port .
I would try older stock ROMs first. O+7pro have plenty of them regarding EDL/MSM mode.
Another thing are checksums. Try to check if your download was successfull by counting them from your side and by comparing what you have with provided download. It should match 1:1.

I have the old stock ROM which I flashed it in EDL but phone didn't boot when it is completed phone reboot too but not in normal mode in EDL again
Most often people have bad experience with qualcomm drivers. So make sure that you have some released after 2020 year, as oneplus 7 pro was released in 2020 year. Another issue is related to usb 3.x, better avoid that and try USB 2.0 instead, most of people have best results with older interface of that kind. EDL is kind of old solution, so better to stay away with USB 3.x and use USB 2.0.
Have you got any idea your flash is successful in edl tool? Have you got clean results or warnings/errors?
To be honest with you, I have to use EDL too, because I did wrong upgrade. I used custom ROM instead of stock ROM. Now I have not access to fastboot nor adb via USB either.
try different EDL ROMs, I found 2 threads. one is here, second there. As almost nobody anserws our questions, I will let you know what I did if I do it successfully.
Well, I discovered that I'm in pretty bad situation. In my case not only adb and fastboot does not works. It appears that EDL does not work either. Why? because I connected another oneplus phone over USB to PC and EDL mode was detected spot on. In case my o+7pro, well still same error as previously with adb/fastboot over USB. Something messed with USB on my phone at software side.
So I have to get motherboard get cheap. I do not thik that I can desolder flash or eMMC and revert that so easy.
Sorry Man, can not help you any
further. Turns out my issue is signifigantly other than yours.
Trying to flash my friend's phone back to stock but having some issues, you might have seen twixyfig's post in the OnePlus 9 Pro threads, but it's a regular OP9 and not the Pro.
Anyways, I have been trying to flash to working condition but MSM won't help. It keeps saying "No valid trg ID" and "Param preload" for a while now. This happened because we tried to root the phone but failed. The bootloader is unlocked, and fastboot works too.
TIA.
Whenever you post asking for help, always make sure to add as many details as possible. Your phone model, variant, current firmware, the tool you are using, the tools you used before, the steps you took before you started facing issues, every detail you can possibly tell. Only then someone might be able to help.

Download the MSM Tool (Global) from this link. Global works on Chinese variant (LE2110) too. Have proper drivers OnePlus drivers installed. Turn off your phone and set it aside, do not connect to PC yet. Run the MSM Tool exe file. Once its loaded, click Start and it should wait for device. Now on your phone, hold vol+ and vol- buttons (no power button), and connect the cable to phone. This will make the phone enter EDL mode. The PC would recognize the device (USB plugged in sound) but phone screen would still be black. On MSM, the flashing would start and would be done in about 4-5 mins. Good luck.
