(SOLVED) Bricked while on android 10 - OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers

Hi there,
I was on android 10, and decided to use Potato Open Sauce Project.
I tried to boot twrp with "fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-1-guacamoleb.img" and that's what i get :
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.384s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)
finished. total time: 1.415s

So because there is no recovery partition, i decided to flash twrp to boot with "fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-1-guacamoleb.img" :
target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes
sending 'boot_b' (56612 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.405s]
writing 'boot_b'...
OKAY [ 0.262s]
finished. total time: 1.670s
Click to expand...

But now i'm stuck in the bootloader mode, whatever i select in bootloader end into bootloader (eg. start, restart bootloader, recovery mode).
Do you think my phone is completly broken ? I've never rooted, but bootloader is unlocked
Thanks by advance

Ive tried to reflash stock rom with 10.0: OnePlus7Oxygen_14.E.20_OTA_020_all_1909172051 taken from here :

Same results.
Ive also tried to use the latest twrp TWRP 3.3.1-70 Unified Unofficial Q by mauronofrio.
Exactly the same problem...
Edit 2 :
Tool All In One give the same error than manual flashing with fastboot
Edit 3 :
Solved with MsMDownloadTool, just a lot of expired tutorial that told to use volume + or volume - to boot in edl mode, while you need to use both then connect the phone to the computer.
Just for info, i used this driver :

msmdownloadtool you can found include something likes 5 or 6 different driver, and tutorial never say which one is the good...

Same Problem
I'm facing the same problem. I tried the 2 Edits specified, still no luck.
Regarding the 3rd Edit: I downloaded the MSM tool for OP7, pressed Vol +, Vol-, Power button together, it always takes me to the fastboot mode no matter if I connect the usb cable after pressing the buttons or not.

I'm having the same problem with my OP7T HD1900. I cannot flash into OOS using MSM because the device would never go into EDL mode by pressing vol up/down then plugging. Long pressing, holding the buttons then plugging the cable never works, just takes me to Fastboot mode. Have you resolved your EDL issue? How else can i get my OP7T into EDL mode so I can flash to Oxygen? I am on Hydrogen 10.0.7HD65 currently. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Here is my input on this since I struggled with the MSMdownloadtool as well a few weeks ago.
Press Vol (+) Vol (-) and connect the phone to the PC.
You need to connect the Device very quickly after setting it in EDL Mode and then start MSMdownloadTool otherwise
the device will just restart again after a few seconds from EDL Mode so perhaps best to start MSMdownloadTool
already before connecting the phone so that it will pick up the connection directly when it is in EDL mode.
Hope that helps!

Thanks, brother. I have just resolved my issue literally 10 minutes ago. Somebody sent me a link to an Oxygen 10.0.8 and I was able to do a local update and the phone did not go on soft brick this time. Perhaps I have downloaded an incompatible link the last time. I did not have to use MSM after all.

I am unable to get to the fastboot.
STEPS I did before brick:
1. unlocked OEM via official way
2. flashed TWRP
3. after that my phone was reset however most of the apps was missing, I was trying to do factory reset once again but it failed with the message "Data partition was heavily damaged"
4. I re-locked EOM
5. brick as mentioned above
Please help, I have the phone only two weeks and I have no idea how to fix this without fastboot.
Thank you.

Sounds like you flashed the 3030 version of TWRP. Download the 3020 version and put it in your fastboot folder. Plug in the USB to PC
Hold power and volume up untill the phone reboots. While it's still off immediately change to power and volume down and hold till it goes into fastboot (bootloader)
Now fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
With the 3020 version.
Unplug the USB and hold power and volume up until it says the phone is booting.. let go and TWRP will load.
Go to Wipe / format data / type yes
Reboot to system and your all set

So I've tried that but the phone is still booting to recovery (flashing TWRP logo) no matter what.
Basically the phone is always on now because if hold the power button (or any other combination) for a few second it will just reboot back.
I have an access only to ADB, but I am not able to boot to bootloader at all, it seems the bootloader is damaged somehow.
Also that warning about unlocked OEM doesn't have that text saying "hold volume up to boot to recovery" etc. like before brick.

Booting to the bootloader is just a timing issue
Phone must be hooked to PC with USB
And volume up and power till it goes black
Then immediately volume down and power and Hold untill the bootloader loads
Keep trying until you get it

I appreciate your help but I've tried it multiple times always with the same result.
I also can use "adb reboot bootloader", but it will reboot again to stuck recovery.

I've tried that, but I am still stuck as that tool is using fastboot as every other tool to flash .img files.
Thank you for the tip though.
Plug phone into computer with USB, then hold down power + volume down until it eventually boots into bootloader. I had the same scenario as you and that's how I got into the bootloader. You can flash either a good TWRP or the stock recovery, either one will work.

Does this MSM Tool also work for OnePlus?
To search just with your favorite Search-Engine for this tool is one thing, do you know the link to a trustworthy source?
By the way, I cannot lock my bootloader (just like the OP) and I would like to go back to stock. I found a Video, but it says I need Oxygen OS 4.0.2, if anybody knows where I can get that ?

Bricked Oneplus 8T (device state - locked) data recovery

Hi All!
I am in a bit of an unfortunate situation, and am also not that knowledgeable with Android.
I want to recover data on my phone, I would be happy with just recovering the photos.
My Oneplus 8T currently gives me a Quallcom crash dump error when trying to boot. I am also able to go into Fastboot mode with the power button + volume up/down.
Just now, I tried booting the device to TWRP recovery. I first installed Google usb driver, then updated the driver of my Oneplus 8T in device manager. I installed a TWRP recovery image of a Oneplus 8T and put that file where I downloaded Google platform tools. I then ran 'fastboot devices' and saw my device. However, after running 'fastboot boot twrp.img', I received the error 'boot is not allowed in Lock state'.
I cannot remember if USB debugging is enabled or not. I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me out as online articles have been quite useless and also very confusing.
Try fastboot getvar all then do fastboot set_active to either a or b depending on which partion you are on you want to change it also pretty sure USB debugging doesn't matter in bootloader you can also try fastboot oem unlock to unlock bootloader to boot twrp unless you updated to oos twrp doesn't work yet
No no no no.
you have loaded dynamic system image = Super image with incorrect.
Go to this link https://onepluscommunityserver.com/list/Unbrick_Tools/OnePlus_8T/
And choose your union and version you want.
Download better driver https://onepluscommunityserver.com/list/Unbrick_Tools/Qualcomm drivers.7z
Now you can use the MSM download troll and get your phone back. Install driver and unzip MSM. Start MSM with admin. Select download mode in MSM. Now press power and vol - and vol + at the same time. Your PC will see a new device. Your phone screen is black. Start MSM and wait for it to finish. Google Translate.

Run fastboot flash recovery twrp.img ... And then fastboot reboot recovery or choose recovery on your phone.
Sometimes holding volume up and power to do a soft reset boots back into system worth a try.

Unable to flash any recovery

Hi,
After updating my OnePlus Nord (EU) to OxygenOS 12 and noticing how full of bugs it is, I've decided to flash PixelExperience on it.
I followed the official PixelExperience install guide: I successfully unlocked my bootloader, and then went ahead to flash the recovery.
Exactly as written in the guide, I performed a fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
The command finished as expected without any errors, so I rebooted into the recovery with fastboot reboot recovery, only to get an error screen, with a title in Chinese and an error message: "The current image(boot/recovery) have been destroyed and can not boot. Please flash the correct image or contact customer service to fix it.", so my device got soft-bricked.
I tried flashing it again - didn't work.
So I tried flashing TWRP - also didn't work.
I tried to flash a stock recovery from this thread - also didn't work.
I at least tried to recover it back to stock, so I downloaded the MSM tool and Qualcomm drivers and tried to get my device into Qualcomm EDL mode.
I tried many combinations of button pressings, I tried fastboot oem edl, but I just couldn't get it into EDL mode, it just booted into fastboot every time.
How could I fix this - flashing a recovery or at least revert it back to stock?
Bro, OOS 12 Update messed everything, bc boot img in oos 12 doesnt work for flashing
U need to Switch Back to android 11 in order to flash anything..
U can use Edl mode to switch back to OOS android 11 then unlock bootloader and then everything works good
I'm too using Pixel Experience Rom after using edl for OOS 11 and now every Custom recovery and rom works

Oh, I didn't know that!
It wasn't mentioned in any of the guides I read...
Anyways I tried for a week to get it into EDL mode without any success...
I installed the Qualcomm drivers, pressed the volume up + down buttons for 40 seconds then while pressing connecting it to my PC, then every time it just booted into fastboot.
How could I get it into edl mode?

In edl mode, u will not see anything on the phone screen.
To use edl mode, press vol up and down simultaneously (without power botton) for 10 secs and then connect it to pc via usb cable
Then u will hv to use the MSM tool according to ur nation (like India, EU etc) for a specific OOS version
Yeah I did exactly that, but my phone booted into fastboot
Kinda lost, tried this many times

did it just reboot or boot into bootloader again?
Also can u share a recorded video of the process i hv told u?
It booted into the bootloader.
Attaching a video of this process
Bro first thing, it should be of 10 secs not 30. I m pretty sure that's what preventing to to boot to edl
Second, i want a video of those adb method steps that i told u but now first try ur method only but for 10 secs

I have the same issue, did you fix that?
Use a USB2 port if not already obvious. (I fought getting into EDL mode for hours the first time - maybe you already know this, sorry if redundant. 10 seconds, 40 seconds, doesn't matter, adl, fastboot, key presses - everyone focuses on the that. Finally with red cable and USB-2 port, it works easily.)
