Oneplus 7 hard brick - OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers

Hi, I think my phone is hard brick. I tried to follow this method:
To everyone who donated, I love y'all. This took a really long time to get lol but it's straight from support and I did not make any modifications to it; I hope it helps a lot of people. The revision is listed in the archive, I believe it's guacamole_21_O.07_190512_repack and the L2 drivers are included as well. MSM Tool/Guac for all
guacamole_21_O.07_190512_repack
Here are some instructions, kinda:
A few things to note:
- Works perfectly fine for unbricking GM1917 modeled OnePlus 7 Pros.
- Use the original cable and try to plug it into a USB 2.0 port. I've found that this is the most ideal condition.
- Make sure your device is charged up. If you can't see how much charge it has, leave it charged via the 30W warp charger for 40 minutes and that should be good enough.
- In the L2 drivers folder found in the archive, navigate to the 32 or 64 folder depending on your system's architecture, and click on the file that ends in the extension ".cat". Then, click "view signature", then "View certificate", then "Install." This is IMPORTANT.
- Then, make sure your device is powered OFF, then, plug in the USB-A side of the cable (big head) into your computer and do NOT connect the USB-C (small head) into your phone yet.
- Hold down Volume up AND volume down for five seconds, and while you're continuing to hold, plug the USB-C side into your phone. The drivers should automatically download, and you should see a "Qualcomm QD loader" device in Device Manager. If you see an exclamation mark or you don't see this, you are doing it wrong and you need to repeat the above steps.
- Open up MSMTool.exe as an administrator and click 'start' only. Should take a few minutes, but you will have a good-as-new OnePlus 7 Pro.

[Q] restoring bricked oneplus one problem

First of all, when I'm in the wrong thread, sorry!
So here I go. I guess i bricked my 1+1. Doesn't turn on, only black screen and if i push a button, it vibrates. Looked up for solutions, and found one here somewhere. It's with the recoverytool or with ColorOS.
So I tried to follow the steps. Everything works fine, in Device Manger, the phone is now recognised as Qualcom HS_USB QDloader 9008 (COM3). Til here no problems at all. Then I installed the set-up file, compatibilitymode, run as admin.
I open the recoverytool, and i scan for the device. It should appear as COM. But nothing shows up. It's weird because Windows recognises the device.
What am I doing wrong? What can help?
Thanks

Have you installed the Qualcomm driver?Its very tricky,Windows wont allow to install it easily.
Yes I did, I was able to switch to non signed in Win8 via F7 in a menu. Thats why it changed from BULK to qualcomm qd9008 on a COM port. Or cant I be sure its done propermy when the name changed?

The easiest way for unbricking oneplus (yes, I tried it): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55024864&postcount=136
ColourOS firmware has all needed files for proper flashnig, including right tool for doing that.
Only thing that didnt work on my Win 8.1 x64 was drivers mentioned in post above.
I had to use this QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers from member DallasCZ (that I used for unbricking ZTE v9180). Only with that drivers my Windows recognized bricked phone and Flash tool could find and flash it.
Flash tool in only on chinese, that is a bit problem, but instructions given in post I linked are more/less usefull.
This is a link to DallasCZ shared folder with qhsusb drivers:
https://drive.google.com/folderview...&usp=sharing&tid=0B1T7tp6tJ_3kQkZSWjNsazJZbGc
If you are sure the driver is okay,plug in the usb cable and out and in,until you see the green line on the tool.Also you can follow the guide as in below link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851
The same thing but this time you can flash CM11s instead of ColorOs.Also there is a video.Pls check it.
Ok so I did the process over and over again, the sixth computer did it right! I was back on ColorOS and now back to CM11S.
This thread can be closed, thanks for the help!
No problem,glad to hear you solved the problem

Oneplus One unbrick issue?

Hi Guys,
Im new to the forums so i hope this is the right place for this post
I have a hardbricked oneplus one 64GB.
I have read and followed mutiple guides here and on youtube on how ot unbrick it.
But in every guide i followed mine "failed" at the same step.
When i start the "oneplus one recovery tool" or Msm8974DownloadTool this happens; (cant seem to use a link so ill try to explain it).
It starts with one green bar, when that is finished it stops an i hear the disconnected device sound.
I am currently on Win 10 but i also tried it on WinXP since mutiple posts suggested hat it would work better, but that also didnt help.
I also tried diffrent drivers (oneplus driver from the color zip), google multi driver, qualcomm driver etc.
Hope someone can help

I don't have all the info since i got the phone from a "friend" who was about to throw it out, but ill do my best to provide accurate info
According to the privious owner the flashing of a custom rom or recovery went wrong and it ended up in it's current state.
The recovery tools i tried are;
- Oneplus one recovery tool by; Zyxxeil
- Oneplus one toolkit 1.5 by Manudroid19
- Msm8974DownloadTool

Use the one with cm11s by Zyxxeil.Use Xp and use Qualcomm drivers,as this tool doesn't use fast boot/adb drivers and instead uses USB debugging port.
It need a few tries before device getting detected.
Make sure the device is getting recognized as "Qhs_bulk" or "Qualcomm diagnostics 9006" or some thing like that then install drivers manually.Also try different ports and refresh the toolkit. Open the toolkit with administrator rights.
Hope this helps

I'm on windows xp now.
Made a clean install to be sure.
Phone is connected as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
The Zyxxeil tool recognizes it as a com port.
When i press start, it starts flashing 8974_msimage.mbn
When it finishes it just does the same. It looks like it's stuck on a loop at flashing 8974_msimage.mbn
I would post some pictures but i can't since im a new user
Edit; It is the same as this guy; youtube (dot) com/watch?v=TOw3-yX57jM
Flashing 8974_msimage.mbn nin a loop.... you're not the only one with this problem. I couldn't find a solution to this problem so far. Have tried fresh installs of Windows XP and Windows 7 and drivers installed in Test Mode without success. Please report back once you could figure out what's wrong.

Got it,it's because of a bad download or corrupt zip perhaps.Redownload the toolkit and also try with Color Os toolkit too.
If your device is recognized then there's no way you can't bring it back to life.

Just redownloaded the tools and tried again.
Still the same issue, i also tried the color os toolkit like you suggested.
I have the same issue too, keep installing 8974_msimage.mbn again and again.
I'm still open for sugestions since the issue is still there

Although it is correct that you must run it as admin, this isn't the issue at all. There are phones that appear to be broken beyond the point where you can fix it with software.

Yep, i always run tools like this as admin, the issue is something else in this case, but i wouldn't know what exactly
I may have found a solution/work-around to the problem described (in case anyone's still trying to unbrick a OPO after all this time). I must warn, however, that I really have no idea what I'm doing as I'm new to all of this, and have blundered through with no real understanding of what's going on, so pay heed at your own risk. It uses Qualcomm's QFIL program and Zyxxeil's OPO unbricking tool. I want give detail in describing the steps involved, so this will be fairly long.
***background***
My 64GB OPO has for the past couple of months almost always failed to get past the first 6-7 seconds of booting, and powered off before reaching the Cyanogen animation. It did the same when booting into fastboot and recovery, and at some point it stopped being able to access recovery at all. Very rarely it would boot, but pressing the power button while it was on would cause it to crash a few seconds later. I discovered that it would consistently boot properly if volume up were tapped while holding down the power button before it vibrates and the OnePlus logo appears, but this fix simply stopped working recently, and so it became impossible to turn the OPO on. Before giving up on it, I decided it would be worth trying the hard unbricking tool based on the ColorOS installer by Zyxxeil. However, I had the problem where the tool continually repeats the step of flashing 8974_msimage.mbn without progressing any further, to which nobody ever seemed to find a solution. I may have found a way to get around the problem, however.
Even though the procedure seems to have worked, the phone still shuts down after a few seconds as it did before (so I suspect my device has a hardware problem, possibly with the power button, and there's nothing that can be done for it). This means that I can't confirm that the fix actually works, but only that it appears to have worked. What it did was:
1) unbricked the phone - it probably wasn't even bricked before, but it definitely was after the installer hung on 8974_msimage.mbn ; it wouldn't respond to the power button at all afterwards. Applying the workaround allowed it to show signs of life again.
2) installed the COS11 fastboot. I'm not sure and can't tell whether the rest of the OS is there or intact, but the fastboot logo has changed from the newer small one to the bigger one from older versions.
***the problem***
The standard method for dealing with a hard-bricked OPO is to use the ColorOS tool as described in the "[GUIDE] [UNBRICK] Unbrick Oneplus One" thread and then flash Cyanogen, or to use Zyxxeil's tool which goes straight there. A common issue in both is that after pressing start, the tools repeat the step of flashing 8974_msimage.mbn , seemingly disconnecting the phone each time, and never progressing beyond that. This happened to me as well. This will happen if the tool is not run as an administrator, but for some people the same problem is seen even if it's run as an administrator. To the best of my knowledge, nobody has posted a solution to this problem, but some have suggested using alternative methods such as using QFIL (which I have gotten to work) or MiFlash.
***potential solution***
From what I understand, QFIL does the same thing as the unbricking tool, only not automatically. I directed it to use the files provided by Zyxxeil's tool, and it was then able to do something that unbricked the device as described above. This is what I did: (all on Windows 10, *not* using the original cable)
Required files:
1) Obtain the Qualcomm QDLoader driver. I used the the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 2.1.0.5 x64 driver from Zyxxeil's tool's thread (page 5, #48).
2) Download Zyxxeil's tool. I used the 64GB version. Extract DRIVER.iso and run setup.exe as described. I'm not sure whether this actually did anything and presume manually installing the driver in 1) overrides this, but I'm including this for completeness.
3) Download QFIL version 1.0.0.2 . I originally used 2.0.0.5 , but this did not work (it produced the error "unable to read packet header. only read 0 bytes", to which the recommended solution was to use an older version). This can be run from the extracted folder. Open it once, and then close it again - it seems not to behave properly the first time it is run.
Preparation:
4) Create a new folder, for instance on the desktop, and give it a short name. Copy and paste (or just move) the contents of the "OnePlusRestoreTool" folder from Zyxxeil's tool into here. This step is because QFIL supposedly doesn't like long folder names or locations (I'm not sure whether this is true or not but there's no harm in making sure).
5) Install the QDloader driver: (the PC may need to be disconnected from the internet for this stage, I think Windows may try to automatically download and install incorrect drivers)
>Open device manager, then plug the OPO into the computer. It should come up after a few seconds under "Ports (COM & LPT)" as something like QHSUSB_BULK or Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. Mine originally showed up as "Quectel QDLoader 9008". If it comes up as a malfunctioned device ("Unknown USB Device") under "Universal Serial Bus controllers", try holding the power button on the OPO down for a few seconds, or holding it down for a few seconds at the same time as volume up. If it's still not recognised, try rebooting the PC and repeating this step.
>Right click on the device as it appears in device manager, select "Uninstall device", tick the box saying "Delete the driver software for this device", and click on "Uninstall".
>The OPO will disappear from device manager. Unplug and then replug it into the PC, and after a few seconds it should be recognised again, perhaps as "Unknown USB Device" again, requiring the same procedure as above. It should now show up as QHSUSB_BULK under "Ports (COM & LPT)"
>Right click on the device and select "Update driver", then "Browse my computer for driver software". Paste in the file path for the folder containing the driver as downloaded above, which will be called "20561190_ed08f7139a2028da454a6668162f44ac311facc0" if using the driver specified above. Ensure "Include subfolders" is ticked, and click on Next. This should install the driver, and because it's signed, it shouldn't present problems often encountered in this stage. Your device should now be called "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008", with (COM#) after it.
Fix:
6) Restart the PC, leaving the phone plugged in. Open device manager again. At this point, if it is detected as a malfunctioned "Unknown USB Device", do not try to remedy it as described above - leave it as it is. This is exactly what happened in my case.
7) Run QFIL.exe as an administrator. I don't know whether this is actually necessary to run as an administrator, but seeing as problems arise in the normal methods from not doing so, it seems sensible. If the device is listed as "Unknown USB Device", then QFIL should say "No Port Available".
8) In QFIL, click on "Browse" in the "select programmer" section. Navigate to the folder where the contents of Zyxxeil's tool were copied/moved to, and open "prog_emmc_firehose_8979.mbn". Lower down, click on "Load XML", which should give you three files to choose from. As I couldn't fully boot my OPO afterwards I don't know which one is most appropriate, but I have tried the procedure with each and it worked for all of them. Perhaps start with rawprogram_unsparse.xml and if that doesn't work try the other two. Click Open, then select patch0.xml , then click Open again.
9) Paying attention to the QFIL window, hold down power+volume up until the text changes from "No Port Available" to "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM#). Incidentally, this will also cause the device to change from "Unrecognised USB Device" to "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM#)" in device manager. I believe that this step starts "Qualcomm's debugging mode" as explained in Zyxxeil's thread, and this is necessary for the process to work.
10) Click on "Download" (below "Load XML"). QFIL should do its thing, and if nothing has gone wrong the phone might be unbricked at the end of the process. Disconnect from the PC and see if it works.
In my experience, where this step did not work it gave one of two errors:
"unable to read packet header. only read 0 bytes" - this happens on the newer version of QFIL, which is why I used the older one.
"unable to download flash programmer using sahara protocol" - this was the troublesome one. I believe it means that the phone is not in Qualcomm's debugging mode. This would probably be the case if, for whatever reason, the PC recognised the phone immediately as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, and so it wasn't necessary to hold power+volume up for the PC to recognise it properly. In my case the program ran properly the first time but was interrupted because I hadn't transferred all of the right files to the target folder. After I had done this and tried again, it gave this error. I fixed this by holding down power+volume up, while the device was recognised, until the PC made a sound indicating something had been plugged in. The next attempt to download was successful.
If the procedure doesn't work properly, it might also be worth using one of the other two XML files mentioned in step 9.
*** ***
Anyway, after hours of searching and trial and error, this unbricked the phone, with it becoming responsive once more to button presses, despite still having the original problem of powering down during boot. It seems to have the CM11 fastboot as expected, and I was able to have my PC recognise it in the short time it stays on using fastboot devices. Other than that, I'm afraid I don't know how successful this was, or how successful it would be for other people. I hope this is useful nonetheless!

T-Mobile OnePlus -- Hard (HARD) Brick

Sorry for lack of details, but I'm not sure it will help anyway. Feeling pretty bad right now.
T-Mobile Oneplus 7 Pro. 256GB version.
I wanted to go to stock OxygenOS after buying the branded version two weeks ago.
I successfully got T-Mobile to unlock my SIM, and got OnePlus to send me unlock code for my bootloader after a week.
Successfully unlocked via fastboot. Tried several times to flash TWRP and no success using fastboot.
Tried MSM-Downloader from guacamole_21_O.07_190512_repack and successfully held volume both buttons to connect to the PC. MSM-Downloader said it was successfully connected.
I cannot find the exact error message I got from MSM-Downloader, but it said it didn't match plus another error message. At that point, my heart sank.
USB Device Not Recognized keeps popping up on windows again and again, while the connect sound plays. Doesn't matter if I hold down the volume buttons or not.
Can't get into qualcomm EDL mode. My guess is I hosed my boot and now it restarts endlessly when connected to anything at all.
Is this the end of my journey? I did tons of research on the best phone and the best deals available to save money, but looks like I played myself here with lack of caution.
I would suggest following this guide to attempt reflashing of the international firmware (use the androidfilehost download).
If that also fails, you could always just reflash the TMO firmware with this guide.

I cannot get into EDL. Regardless of what buttons I press (I am holding both volume buttons down in excess of 5 seconds) when connecting USB to the phone, Windows makes the "connect" sound endlessly and the driver isn't recognized.
If I can get into EDL, I will definitely try the above.
Do you have the proper drivers installed to use EDL mode?
Also, if you go into the Device Manager, do you see the phone in there? Should pop up as something like "Qualcomm HS-USB 9008" or some variant of that.

Ok. I may be making progress thanks to your help but do have some hurdles I can see.
I do see the device when I hook it up to another computer. It shows up as Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed).
When I go to device manager to manually update the driver, and browse to the location I extracted the CAB file into, I see lots of devices to choose from, but the Qualcomm driver cab file list does not show "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" as an option. I see many Qualcomm USB Composite Devices in the list but none I have chosen seem to work (install fails).
Hmm. I know it may be an obvious question, but just to be sure, you're using the cable that came with the device correct?

Yes, that is correct. Same cable i used to get into fastboot, etc... The original PC I caused the problems with recognized the device differently (showed up as a Qualcomm device) when I got into EDL with it before.

I just did some googling and found this article. Perhaps you can try the drivers in this guide? They are .exe files so they should be easy to install, but I'm not sure if the other drivers I provided have any OnePlus specific stuff in it, but it's worth a shot.

I've already tried the .zip version with no success. I am loath to install an .exe file (don't want to make the problem worse by infecting my PC) but may as well. I will restart and report back. Thank you again for your attention.
If this doesn't bear fruit, I may be SOL, correct?

Mmm. The link I gave seems to have been blocked by XDA when I tried to access it from my post. Never had a problem myself with that site, but who knows.
You should be able to ultimately recover the phone though. Perhaps asking in one of the unbrick threads? OnePlus phones are theoretically unbrickable because we have good access to our EDL mode.

OK! I found on reddit that if you hold your vol up + down + power for 30 seconds, it will boot back into fastboot, which it did! Holy **** I'm so happy. Haven't even seen if the PC recognizes it but will check now. If it does, I just need to not screw up the conversion to international.
Thank you for your "unbrickable" comment. That gave me hope to not give up.

OK! I found on reddit that if you hold your vol up + down + power for 30 seconds, it will boot back into fastboot, which it did! Holy **** I'm so happy. Haven't even seen if the PC recognizes it but will check now. If it does, I just need to not screw up the conversion to international.

I just wanted to share a tip. After you load the msmtool and before you connect your phone with the cable, click the start button, the message will read "waiting for device". Then, as soon as you plug in the cable while holding the p-up and p-down, the msmtool will automatically start. No more rushing to hit the start button before EDL mode times out.

That's pretty cool. Makes the whole process much less stressful.
Got it up and running with international version. Now to see if I can get LOS installed. My sincere thanks to all and apologies for crapping up the board with my panic. I thought I had really screwed up, but it appears it was just stuck in EDL mode and needed a hard (HARD) reset.
Hey man, thanks for the donation. Glad you were able to get your phone up and running!
Holy Sh*t man. I know 5 bucks ain't much but I wanted to thank you so much. I thought I was fukd

OnePlus 7 Pro Bounty

Hello XDA Members,
I have recently bought a OnePlus 7 Pro (GM1915) T-Mobile, Oxygen OS 10.0.3.GM31CB
off of the Mercari app. The sim is locked. I was hoping I could get some assistance to
have it where it can work with my ATT carrier. Willing to dole out $$$ for help.
Is it carrier locked or blacklisted?

I bought a TMO version and converted it to global/international and it works fine on ATT. Just find the thread in Guides and follow the steps.

It's locked and I don't think it's possible without OEM UNLOCK plus TWRP and Root not sure but not found any thing about it
Just ented edl mode . Phone totally powered off , download this. Unzip , and run the msmdownload tool. If needed just download qualcomm drivers. Once ran the exe just press vol up and down at the same time during 4 or 5 seconds (before this keep the usb plugged in the computer but not the phone connector side). After the seconds just plug the cable onto the phone connector and wait unitl the program shows Connected or Ready. Once this is done just click Star and wait for the process to be done. After that just wait the phone boot and unlock bootloader if wished.

Looks like msmdownload tool hangs after click "Start".
I got a message "Param preload" in column "Status of Last Communication". Time is ticking but nothing happens.
What can provoke the issue? I use Windows 2008 Server. Can it cause the issue with msmdownload tool?
ok first pull up ur device manager and (ok there is a couple of different ways some ppl just like to argue. It is what it is.) Me personally this is how i do it ok. Just me it works everytime Hey its oneplus.
I reboot to the bootloader by powering off phone. thwn hold volume down and power button at the same time. When the oneplus logo appears you can let off. It mighttake you to the recovery screen or straight to the bootloader but that doesnt matter at all really if it takes you to recover the stock recovery go advance then bootloader yes and yes. Now your in the bootloader. You dont really have to be in the bootloader to do this for real. I chose to. then I plug my phone in and I leave the phone powered on ok now you wanna have your device manager ready and up cause some these phones you have like 10 secs. your going to hold the volume up and down and power button all 3 down together make sure your hands are comfortable cause sometimes it takes awhile. but if dide right your screen should be black. Now on your device manager you are goona expand the port section make sure that driver says quacomm hs-usb Qdloader 9008 ok now once it says that and u installed the right one I cant really tell you which one to use. really cause i went through alot the one i ended up with is the microsoft catalog (google oneplus 7 pro qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 and take from there. and make sure u installed the lt drivers that came with the msm tool. install all certificates all that stuff. If done right. It will not freeze up It will have a green bar and it will be doing its thing for like 2-3 mins.

I tried to go back with this guide down to 10 but it stucks in Param pre-processing even if it shows up as QDLOADER 9008.
Sorry to here that,, This is the guide I followed and it worked for me
guacamole_21_O.07_190512_repack
Here are some instructions, kinda:
A few things to note:
- Works perfectly fine for unbricking GM1917 modeled OnePlus 7 Pros.
- Use the original cable and try to plug it into a USB 2.0 port. I've found that this is the most ideal condition.
- Make sure your device is charged up. If you can't see how much charge it has, leave it charged via the 30W warp charger for 40 minutes and that should be good enough.
- In the L2 drivers folder found in the archive, navigate to the 32 or 64 folder depending on your system's architecture, and click on the file that ends in the extension ".cat". Then, click "view signature", then "View certificate", then "Install." This is IMPORTANT.
- Then, make sure your device is powered OFF, then, plug in the USB-A side of the cable (big head) into your computer and do NOT connect the USB-C (small head) into your phone yet.
- Hold down Volume up AND volume down for five seconds, and while you're continuing to hold, plug the USB-C side into your phone. The drivers should automatically download, and you should see a "Qualcomm QD loader" device in Device Manager. If you see an exclamation mark or you don't see this, you are doing it wrong and you need to repeat the above steps.
- Open up MSMTool.exe as an administrator and click 'start' only. Should take a few minutes, but you will have a good-as-new OnePlus 7 Pro.
