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.
Edit: First event when plugging it into this second PC under device properties:

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.

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

So, messing around with kernels and stuff, I wound up with a bricked device (wouldn't turn on, no response to anything, etc [I did eventually manage to get it functional again through a combination of button mashing and praying])
However, when plugging it into my computer, it showed up as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader" which seemed interesting.
Searching the internet, I found several things. The QPST (Qualcomm Product Support Tool) Software suite, as well as other less useful links about the LGFlash tool, etc.
The programs also makes reference to debug and other modes, but there isn't a lot of documentation on the internet.
What I want to know is, is there a way to put the device back into the QDLoader or other QPST related modes so as to either update the firmware again, or just make backups for future use?
If there is, this seems like it would be a great tool for undoing any damage to the phone that isn't hardware related (the documentation says this part resides on a read only chip[which it seems fastboot doesn't])
It looked like you borked your phone to the point where there was nothing recognizable as Android left on it. I don't know anything about this loader but based on my past experiences dealing with proprietary OEM tools (Samsung KIES), I hope I never find myself in a situation where I'd need to learn. :crying:
Turn off your phone. Press all the keys if nothing happens your phone bricked. If you end up qualcomm 9008 mode we cant do much, because we dont have a working flash programmer and a working bootloader which would be flashed to the phone with the flash programmer. You can do 2 things. Replace your motherboard, or find the emmc pins on the motherboard to get direct acces to the storage then with a modified sdcard reader you could have access to the storage content then you could restore the bootloader. This is pretty hard method almost impossible.
If you have qualcomm 9006 mode then you can restore the bootloader with any kind of linux, because in 9006 mode the phone acts like a external hdd.
May I ask how exactly you messed around with the kernels to get this? Did you flash an incompatible kernel or something?
It sounded like he resolved his issue and wanted to know if this hidden mode can be used.

It still only puts it in download mode, not the diagnostics or anything else. Although.. That may just be a project for when there's better documentation, or I don't actually need this phone for normal use...

To achive diagnostic mode you need a working flash progfammer and bootloader which can be loaded with flash programmer. We will never have these files unless someone at qualcomm build it for nexus 5 then share it here on xda.
With LG G2 if something goes wrong during ota update the phone starts in qualcomm 9006 diagnostic mode.
Well darn

There were two placed where qualcomm documentatiosn could be found. One was a chinese forum where you have to be veteran or admin to get access to the files. This forum not exist anymore. The other is a chinese ebay like website where they are selling qualcomm documents for 3000 usd.
If you search for msm8974 boot flow or sahara protocol you will find file names for qualcomm pdf documents. Sadly just file names no download possibilty.
Strangest "Bricked" Oneplus One: No recovery, locked OS, can't unlock bootloader
Hi there, I've come in to the possession of the most stubbornly bricked phone that I've ever seen . Bought a OPO off Craigslist, someone cracked the screen and sold it for cheap instead of fixing it. It had been remote wiped but still has some strange difficult software. Posted this problem to the Oneplus Forum but have had no response, thought XDA would be more qualified!
From what I can tell it's a Oneplus One that was sold through a re-seller that replaced all the software on the phone with a high-security version of Android. It's called EncroChat and from their website (encrochat.network or encrochatsure.com) it looks like it removes the recovery from the phone and replaces it with an EncroChat OS (some kind of Cyanogen) that you can boot to in addition to the Android OS.
Well I assume during the remote wipe something went wrong with the software and the phone no longer really functions. It boots up fine but can't connect to Wifi, cellular, not detected when connected to my PC, and has no real apps to speak of. I think most of the device's drivers are missing. Trying to boot to recovery instead boots to their EncroChat OS which is locked behind a password that neither I nor the person I bought it from knows.
I can get to fastboot and my PC will detect the phone then but running the bootloader unlock command doesn't work, the phone just reboots into the locked EncroChat OS. My idea now is to try and hardbrick the phone and then re-do everything on the phone over again, but I can't figure out how to do that. Does anyone else have any ideas?
Contacting EncroChat
Tried contacting EncroChat via email form, twitter, and reddit. No luck! Still stuck with this. I want to try this unbrick guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732 for hardbricks but I can't get my phone to show as QHSUSB_BULK or Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. Any idea how I can do that? This guy seems to have done it:

It would fix even the most stubborn soft bricks you'll see. Before that I tried everything that was available at the time, no boot as well only fastboot(not even recovery)

Hello dude,
While it was quite some time when I did this unbrick, it was successful ...expect ALL data to be deleted from phone. Google is your friend and I did get all the files from somewhere
You use a special software from the phone, it's coloros software and with provided files it recognise the phone and flash it(2-3 seperate flashes through the software if I remember correctly) - don't worry as long as the phone turns on(mine was turning on but did nothing ...blank, only way to turn it off was to hold power button and hold it(forced turn off))
P.S. The phone wasn't recognised by the OS ...only from this app(cool? ..weird if you ask me - I'm a computer repair tech guy and find this hard to believe if it didn't happen and see it with my own eyes - on the other hand it could be somewhere hidden in the system and recognised like something else so I won't put my hand in fire to verify this )
Thanks!

Hi there, sorry in advance this might not be very helpful in your situation. I ended up using the ColorOS repair tool for Oneplus One that I mentioned earlier in the post. It turned out I just didn't have the correct drivers so once I sorted those out the tool was able to bypass all the software and replace everything on the phone so that I could then install my own OS.
I guess the trick would be to find a version of this tool for OneplusX. I'm not sure if there is one available, I haven't looked. Maybe make a separate post about that? The ColorOS tool I'm talking about is from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55024864&postcount=136 and it just looks directly for the Qualcomm chip and writes to that. I'm not sure where that tool came from, if it made its way out of Oneplus directly or if someone created it afterwards...

Had the same issue when I unplugged the phone accidentally during the qualcomm download process in MSN tool. When you plug it in maybe thinking that the phone is off (EDL mode is barely noticable when it's booted in this state and seems like off) when msntool is still enabled or on start the download starts no matter what.
When you get stuck on param preload it's 99% a bad or old driver. I learned this the hard way.
What you have to do is open device manager and delete all Qualcomm 9008 devices (also delete the drivers when the prompt is asking you). You may need to click on "view" and "show hidden devices" and click through all usb connections.
When done, install this Qualcomm USB Driver. I found it when I had the same issue, and since I've installed it, it works perfectly.

Hi all,
Apologies in advance as I'm pretty new with this stuff and may be misusing terminology or have some fundamental things mixed up.
I've been searching for a while on how to root/unlock the bootloader for the LG G7 One (LMQ910UM), and there seems to be a mix of people saying they haven't yet figured out a way to do this and others providing theoretical suggestions (who don't own the phone themselves). I've been studying the very helpful guide from Awesomeslayerg here, who thought that their process should work for the majority of G7 devices. The problems that I've run into seem to be different than those I've found other people discussing, so I thought to share, in case I'm missing something obvious.
I can get the phone into EDL mode by running "adb reboot recovery" and then holding Vol +. My Windows device manager registers it as an unknown device, but not as QHUSB_BULK. Instead, it shows up under Ports as a generic "USB Serial Device," with the little warning triangle. On my laptop, it would typically show up in the USB controllers list. On both computers (my PC and my laptop) I've tried various methods for installing the Qualcomm 9008 QDLoader driver, to no avail. If I just run the install wizard EXE, I get the Qualcomm HS-USB showing as a hidden device, but when I plug in the phone, it would just stay hidden/inactive and the phone would come up as an unknown USB Serial Device. I tried the manual install method (described here), disabling Driver Signature Verification as instructed, but what would happen every time is that the Device Manager would just hang out "installing drivers" forever. I once had it running on my laptop for about 30 minutes before the computer simply blue-screened.
At some points, usually after I force-quit Device Manager and rebooted, the Qualcomm port would display as hidden and then actually show up as a functioning device when I would plug in my phone (while in EDL), but I would still get the "unrecognized device" Windows notification popping up (even though I was no longer seeing it display as an unrecognized device in the manager), and QFIL was unable to recognize the port at all (the port list would just show up blank).
I fully expect that somebody may simply inform me that it's established that the G7 One can't be rooted, but I thought it was worth putting out the issues I've been having in case there's something I'm misunderstanding or overlooking.
Thank you for your time
Ben
It wont work thats for most G7 ThinQs not G7s ... g7 one has sdm835 thinQ has 845 ... edl mode its integrated in SOC itself so you need the proprietary firehose in order to be able to work with qfil and that firehose its only for LG SDM845

But I dont know why I wiped cache, data and then phone got stuck at boot loop. (no backup). I tried to install using MSM tool but it didnt work. MSM tool was not detecting the phone. then in TWRP I clicked on EDL and now the phone screen is blank. tried every possible combination of keys but no luck. was doing all this on windows 10. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

So it turns out its not a hard brick. I'm stuck on TWRP. I'm able to get to fastboot. I tried to install Oxygen OS thru fastboot but the PC is not detecting the phone in fastboot. Mac detects it but I believe all the stock Roms are for PC use. I did try it on my MAc and was able to open a terminal window inside the Oxygen OS folder but then the fastboot device command is not found. any help would be greatly appreciated. I installed SDK and ADB drivers on PC but in device manager the device still only shows as Android device with no drivers. !! thanks

Solved !
solved how? i greatly would like to know how to flash from fastboot, i know that isnt what this thread was about but im having the exact same problems you are with msm. i can see the phone in fastboot but i have no idea how to flash or what to flash from there. I can get into recovery but i cant copy anything over to the phone and the drivers dont show up for adb. so i pretty much ONLY have fastboot and dont know what to do! 2 days since the phone been down and im lost AF

Can msm detect the phone when connected in fastboot. Also check device manager in pc to make sure it detects the phone as qualcomm device. Otherwise msm will not work.
Download msm. Turn phone off. Connect phone to pc. Open msm. Press start. Press volume down and power button on phone. It should be detected by msm and should start flashing the software.
Standby....
When plugged in the phone in EDL it shows
QUSB_BULK_CID0412 with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle
When i plugged in the phone and open fastboot it shows
Android with an exclamation point inside a yellow triangle
I booted up msm, clicked other, clicked start, pressed volume down and volume up and plugged it in. still says waiting for device to connect. ive also tried this with a number of keys being help, ive tried to boot from twrp straight into edl mode, none of which works
which all says to me its a driver issue of some kind, but for 3 days ive been slaving away on xda and cannot for the life of me figure out where to get the drivers.

Only download the qualcomm driver from this link. Or search for it online.
I have spent much more time than you trying to figure this out. I have a pc and Mac both. Mac is not compatible with a lot of the software and my pc usb ports are all bad. Point being, leave it alone for a day or so. Come back at it with a fresh start and fresh mind.

If I were you, I wouldn't throw the phone away. Like I said it's a simple issue of driver. Install the correct driver and make sure you see it as qualcomm device in device manager. Trust me, from then on, it's just a matter of a few clicks.
I unbricked my phone to t mobile and then converted to global rom without any issues.
