One Plus 7 Pro 5G UK - Bricked PLIS HELP. - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

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.

Brand new OP, O bricked, x-post from OnePlus forums

So I installed CM12S on my device and now i'm just getting a black screen, the phone still vibrates when buttons are pressed and I can get the device into fastboot mode, although I can not see it on screen, I can see it on device manager.
Now I've tried the various methods on this forum using ColorOS and the OnePlus Recovery tool, neither of these change the state of my device.
Currently dealing with OnePlus support at the moment which is awful to say the least, they have booked me in for a remote session which is in 2 weeks ... no appointments before then, ive disputed on PayPal with them currently as I dont think this is good enough, anyone got any other ideas to get my device back up and running?
Thanks
Id say to install adb on your computer so that that way you can reflash the roms manually from your computer. Or at the very least flash stock and then whatever customs from there. Here is a link to the thread with the links in the OP with straight forward step by step instructions. Good luck!

I have ADB and can succesfully get into fastboot, although I cannot see it on-screen I can see it listed in device manager in windows, Ive tried flashing several ROMs using the fastboot commands and still cannot get the thing to turn on.
I honestly dont believe the device to be completely dead, to note last time I saw this device on I was at 4% battery. But have also left the phone on charge overnight.

Anyway to return to stock? or Install TWRP/ Rom

I haven't turned this phone on in years.
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed roms years ago and i remember trying to get it back to stock and trying to relock it but i couldn't fully do it.
I tried to install TWRP and put a rom on it but it wont work so i thought trying to get it back to stock as much as i can might help. then i can start again
1. the phone doesn't work by USB if plugged in while it's on. I have to leave it plugged in and then restart it for it to work
2. ADB works while phone is on (doing 1)
3. Fastboot does not and i have no idea why. I can't install TWRP

do you have usb debugging enabled, are your sdk tools up to date?
Yes to both.
When doing the adb fastboot part it restarts into one of the screen I attached to my post.
My computer makes a noise like a USB had been connected but nothing comes up.
fastboot devices command shows nothing and when I check device manager it just says android with a yellow! If that helps.

I now have another issue though. I can't sideload and it's asking for a password for twrp to mount decrypt data. If you don't mind trying to help me here too
I've done a format data on twrp and it won't ask for a password anymore but I still can't sideload anything. Going to try to copy the rom to the storage and see what happens there
I've only could see a twrp folder on my phone when I connect it to my pc while still in twrp so I copied a rom there and went into install zip, data, media, twrp. My file was there.
Installing rom now I'll update if it worked.

you may have to format data, then flash magisk after then reboot, why are you trying to side load the rom just put it on your ex-sdcard, and flash it in twrp. twrp won't decrypt your data, what version of twrp you using, the latest is 3.4.0-0
try hitting cancel when it asks for a password, then see if it works.
here is magisk
if you are on pie that viper rom is based on oreo. just so you know.

Yeah i realised after you said it. I believe i was on pie because i was on build no. 3.34.401.1 and now i'm on 2.33.401.19 after installing the rom. I shouldn't be trying to do this at almost 12:30 at night haha.
Is that bad that its gone through and, so far, worked? What would you recommend I do/ what would you do if you were in my position currently?
I was originally going to to try to get back to stock but im not even sure what RUU to use as i think the one that i had used a few years ago might not have been the original.
you've been an amazing help so far so thank you

well, see how it goes, if you start to have issues go back to stock, if you made a backup of stock just restore it.
use the ruu for 401 make sure it's 3.34.401.x
that software number doesn't mean you are on 2.33 firmware you'll still be on pie firmware, 3.34

I can't seem to find a RUU for 401 3.34.401.x that isn't dual sim version. Could you point me in the right direction please in case I do ever want to attempt stock again?
Edit: I've found it. Also why this one instead of 3.37.617.1?
Edit: im guessing because 3.37.617.1 is for NA and the one you mentioned is for EU which is where i am
Also I think im getting an idea about why it won't charge or connect until I restart.
I've installed lineage room 17.1 and it's constricted showing as "charging connected device via usb" even when it's nothing is plugged in. I'm guessing it's a hardware issue?

TCL A509DL NO FASTBOOT-ABILITY??

Hey there guys and girls. I just bought a cheap TCL A509DL to experiment with and immediately hit a roadblock of megalithic proportions...no fastboot mode available on this cracker-jack prize equivalent phone. Seriously...no way to boot into fastboot mode.
All the usual processes have been eliminated...enabled Developer options, enabled OEM Unlock for Bootloader, enabled Usb debugging, etc...all ready, set, don't go.
I powered off the phone, restarted while holding the power+vol dwn, pwr+vol up, pwr+vol up and down, pwr+assistant key, pwr+vol up+assistant key and every combo thereof including every combon with the battery removed and USB connected while keys pressed. I gotta get to this fastboot or I'll go nuts...PLEASE!! Somebody help!!
Check whether Fastboot is supported or not via ADB
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot devices
If a connection with bootloader got successfully established don't forget to end it
Code:
fastboot reboot
TCL is never known to have offered BL unlock for any of its device. On top of that, US carriers tend to enforce non-unlockable BL, Straight Talk / Tracfone (implied by the DL suffix) the worst among them.

Hi I have tried all of the above commands and about a dozen more. I'm tempted to believe what
I was recently told, that US Phone maker enforce the no Unlock bootloader policy. There would still need to be some window or method available for flashing in the event of a software failure, right? In the Developers menu it says the bootloader is already unlocked and the toggle is grayed out. When I reboot from ADB using adb reboot fastboot my phone reboots back to startup with no fastboot connection??
I also happened on one of these TCL A3's (A509DL), and I confirm that there is no fastboot mode, and only 3 options in recovery, no adb or sdcard or log access, strictly factory wipe and cache wipe.
Hopefully mtkclient will crack this baby open a little bit, I left my laptop in a friend's truck, but when I get it back here in a few days ill hack the crap out of it!

For clarification, are you stating that you have unlocked the bootloader and rooted the TCL A3 (A509DL) branded by TracFone Wireless. If so, as far as I know, there is a $1,700 cash bounty up for the first person to OEM unlock and/or root the A509DL.

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

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.

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.

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??

Sorry, I've no idea about that. Try flashing TWRP again.

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.
Good luck,

Lol!
I've been using Magisk and TWRP for years, so I'm not only a "big boy" but also an "old dog".

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.
an old dog!!
You like croquettes and the mash?
Thx,

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

Sorry, I have no interest in checking out non-XDA guides. We have enough (too many?) of them on XDA as it is.

There-in why I asked if you might point me at something reliable. But I guess not...

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

OnePlus 8 TMO Missing IMEI and can't unlock bootloader

Hey yall, I really need some help.
So some back story:
I started using a oneplus 8 TMO version and wanted to unlock the bootloader to get android 12 and root the phone. So I went through the process of getting an unlock token and when I finally got it, unlocked my bootloader, flashed the global version of oxygen os, and got it updated to android 12. Everything was working great. So then I wanted to root the phone so I downloaded twrp, booted into fastboot, and tried flashing it. The phone then booted into the system even though I told it to boot into recovery. After about a minute or so it froze and rebooted into a kernal panic. I unfortunately do not have what it said and cant repeat the process, but it booted into recovery and I clicked reason for boot and it said something about the kernal. So after a reboot it then went into crash dump mode. So I had to use the msm download tool (unfortunately I only had the tmo msm version and thought I could just repeat the process because I had slow internet and didnt want to download the global msm tool) to get the phone working again. So booted into edl mode, reflashed the phone, and it booted up. The problem now is that I do not have an IMEI number. I have a wifi address, bt address, and everything else that makes me assume that the efs partition is still ok (but I dont know enough to debate that) but it does not recognize my sim card. The phone also freezed and restarts approximately every 30 seconds.
And now my problem and what I have tried:
Because I have no IMEI I cannot enable oem unlocking in developer settings, cant flash anything in the bootloader - including the unlock token - and can barely do anything in the system because it only stays on for small amounts of time. I have tried many imei write tools such as qualcomm smartphone write imei, readnwrite tool, fastboot imei writer, miracle box, and I think some others but none of them recognize my phone. Ive also tried the oneplus debloat and oem unlock script to try and bypass the setting but it didnt do anything. I have dialed *#801# and was able to enable engineering mode and diag toggle but it still didnt do anything for me. So I really dont know what to do any more. When in the bootloader or recovery the phone does not reboot, so I can stay there as long as I need. Any help on this would be greatly, greatly, greatly appreciated.
Have you tried using the MSMTool again?

Yeah unfortunately that hasn't worked... I've done it miltiple times with the T-Mobile one and can't use any other one because I don't have an unlocked bootloader... If I had a way to bypass the oem unlocking option in the settings then I might have a chance to fix it but don't know how to do that...
try using this version of msmtool(i use MsmDownloadTool V4.0_Win7 on windows 10). it's a bit newer version(5.2.89) i extracted from OP9Pro file. replace the version from whichever unbrick file you download. worked for me. but don't upgrade to android 12 again, the same issue will happen

Thanks for the response! And I am so sorry but what do you mean by unbrick file? I just had to download the tmobile version of the msm tool. I mean to be fair it was uploaded by someone so they probably pre programmed it but I unfortunately dont have the knowledge for that. I am also using msmdownloadtool v4.0. Do you happen to have the links to what you are referring to?
Heres the link to the one that I have downloaded: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4093043/
Thanks!
EDIT: so once you said that I actually went to the link and there were various versions. So I tried another one and it didn't work but then tried one more and my IMEI was back! I have no idea why that happened but thanks for the idea! I was so happy.

yeah, that's it. it's related to version of msmdownloadtool. some of them must have a newer version. i had the idea from someone else on this forum too. glad it helps. be careful not upgrade to android 12 for now. i think it's because of the way oos12 detects phone varient causing the modem to go crazy. not sure tho. would love to see someone figures it out

Yeah, OOS 12 messed up my phone for a bit until I was able to get OOS 11 back on both slots.
