Unbrick tool by One-Team - EypCnn
First: This tool seems to be from EypCnn, One-Team. All credits to them!
EDIT2: I no longer own this device, so i will leave this thread here for people to use. But don't expect any direct support from me .
What can this tool do?:
Restore phone to Stock(International) Firmware (S048) Marshmallow (Locked & Unlocked bootloader)
Fix Lost or bad Signal / IMEI any software Problem
For who does this work?
Pretty much any Lenovo P2 Variant (Chinese and International)
Phones which can access bootloader(you have to boot into it)
Works on Locked & Unlocked Bootloader
Installation aka. Flashing-Steps
Put your phone into bootloader (which is also fastboot) mode.
Download the folder and unzip it.
Connect your phone to your pc.
Go into the unzipped folder and open "flashall - stock reco.bat"
Wait, for the process to end, your phone will reboot on its own.! A stock lenovo bootlogo will show up !
You can disconnect your phone cable from pc and plug into a wall charger, just to be safe. Once the lockscreen is showing up, you're done.
If you want to flash Custom Roms:
look below:
WHEN MOVING TO CUSTOM ROMS NOW:
1. Boot to twrp. (Make sure it is pietwrp from telegram or the official 3.2.3 or later version)
2. Select WIPE menu option
3. Select data partition
4. Change file format to f2fs or anyother.
5. Go back to Start Menu of TWRP, choose Reboot Menu Option
6.Reboot to Recovery
7. Repeat Steps 2 and 3
8. This time select EXT4 when changing file format
9. Do Step 5 and 6
10. Wipe System,Cache and Dalvik-Cache partitions
( for older twrp versions: 10.1 If you're on official twrp 3.2.3 or lower, you have to flash pietwrp or latest twrp now !)
11. Flash your Custom Rom, Gapps (optional) and latest Magisk(optional)
12. Wipe Cache and Dalvik-Cache
13. Reboot. First Boot might take a few minutes but never longer than 7minutes.
If it takes longer, you're encounter a so called bootloop.
Comment hear if that happens, containing information on your twrp-version, rom, gapps, magisk and mods(if present) you're using.
When you corrupt your internal Storage or geht TWRP Error 1001, Error 7:
1. Repeat steps 2-6
2. Repeat steps 7-8

Thanks a lot. You literally saved my life!
Works like Magic
Thanks a lot for saving my ass . simplest way to downgrade to mm too. Thanks again
Wait.... downgrade to MM? Does this mean you can regain your signal or did @krishnakoonala get it wrong?
I have a spare P2 lying around that I never used because the IMEI got corrupted and I couldn't flash the bootloader files since I was unlocked.
I assume this wouldn't solve my issue?

My p2 was bricked and , stuck in boot loop. I followed the above instructions, 10 mins into it , it booted with mm version, the same version when i bought and booted for 1st time. It was like a new phone to me.
So i assume if one has upgraded to noughat and want to downgrade but is worried he might brick his device, one can take a back up and try this tool. It works flawless.
No harm in trying this one if ur p2 can boot up mate. Give it a shot. Good luck
Cheers
This tool has saved my device from multiple over a span of two years soft bricks. Can confirm it to do wonders.

It flashed everything you have when you buy a new phone. And no, it doesn't lock your bootloader.
So you can either :
- keep using MM Stock Rom S048
- Update via ota in System like you normally would do.
- Update till latest Firmware, then flash twrp- and then Custom Rom of your Choice.
Bootloader is in the same state it was before you used this tool.

Download source
Thanks guys, if this works I can now revive my phone. But can someone please upload the tool to another place like google drive. From android filehost it will take an eternity to download!

If you used some other tool for imei. You are pretty much done for.
Using this tool i can go to MM version and can upgrade to S251. However after installing twrp and flashing custom rom, it goes to bootloader
Hi guys
I was trying some of custom rom on my OP6 and I wanted to go back to Oxygen OS. So i did a clean installation with system wipe and i flashed the last full OTA update. But since i can't boot to system anymore, TWRP always displays that there is no OS installed despite the fact that I've tried several rom . Is this the first time it's done this to me how can I fix it?

The best suggestion I can give you is to flash stock oos with TWRP, reboot to stock recovery, without flashing anything else, wipe data from stock recovery and startup system.. if it is working you can flash back TWRP and magisk if you need it
Just be careful because at your point is easy to lose all of your stored data

If you wipe system, then flash oos ROM, TWRP will think there is no os. You can just ignore and boot.
Wiping system then flashing any time will make twrp display "no os installed" it does this because it hasn't created files for twrp to check if you have a ton installed. Flashing twrp then rebooting to twrp fixes it.
Reboot to stock recovery?

Hi, need a little bit of support, since I'm new to this as well. I was in a working OOS open beta 25/28, but then I think I flashed the wrong zip (OOS 9.0.9?), and I was not able to boot to system. It kept going to "bootloader unlocked" screen and custom recovery. Currently in TWRP blu_spark 3.3.1-x v. 9.109, and it's showing me no OS installed when I attempt to reboot. I haven't rebooted to system yet.
All the folders in my /sdcard is gibberish... if I try to push a file to it, it says "Required key not available." I did remove all security/passwords from my phone before doing any updates/backups.
I completed a wipe cache/dalvik/system via TWRP, and flashed the OOS OTA stable Android 10 zip downloaded directly from OnePlus Support. Considering this situation, do you still think it's safe for me to reboot to system? Then how do I get to stock recovery from there--is that by holding down the buttons?

No, your internal storage Is like trash cause the last rom you flashed has older security patch than oos10. Your device Is now encrypted and wont boot to system. I Guess you have to erase all via MSN tool or fastboot signed rom. Even if you wiped what mentioned above, your problem still be the data.
Fastboot method?

Thank you for replying. I'm relieved that you know of a couple methods to try.
Is using "Format Data" in TWRP an option for dealing with the encryption??
For the MSN tool, can I use this one? Tried looking around, but it's unclear. "[TOOL] MsmDownloadTool V4.0 International (Oxygen OS 5.1.5)" https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...wnloadtool-v4-0-international-t3798892/page10
I would be more comfortable with using fastboot, but am I at any risk of having lost fastboot, or can I just turn off my device from TWRP right now and hold down the buttons to get there? Afraid to move out of TWRP right now, in case I can't get back. I do have twrp-3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img that I can run from fastboot if needed.
By "signed rom," do you mean I can simply flash one of the zips here from fastboot? "[OnePlus 6][ROM][OTA][Oxygen OS] Mirrors for official Oxygen OS ROMs and OTA updates" https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3792244

I hardbricked my device about 10 times and i was able to recovery It even from a blank screen. Btw format data Will erase all your data but also the internal storage. About fastboot dont be afraid, go under twrp reboot section and reboot to bootloader. Then go under xda op6 guide section and search for mirrors for fastboot rom guide by Mauronofrio. He pushed my ass out the **** a lot of time.
P.s. Sorry but I dunno how to paste a link via xda app. Yes, ik! It's a vert newbie thing.

That's awesome, I'm starting to grasp how much of a genius Mauronofrio is, after so many people referencing his work.
In his guide, he says, "These ROMs can't be used to update or downgrade your phone but just to restore your phone, so don't use them to come back to oreo or to update from oreo to pie." This may be a dumb question, but how do I know which zip/OOS version to flash, when I don't have a functioning OS on my phone?

I talked with Mauronofrio in pm and he said me that you could solve your issue simply flash the ROM you want and format data after flash that one. Remember that your internal will be wiped but it would happen in any scenario we talked.

That worked! And starstruck that you were able to check that with him. I flashed Mauronofrio's fastboot ROM for 10.3.2 and it rebooted (WOW). I clicked through the Google setup pages and checked that my data and wifi worked.
I then went back into fastboot, booted M's twrp img, fomatted data, and then installed twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.109_op6.zip, rebooted into recovery.
Then I think I made a mistake, because I installed Magisk-v20.4.zip. It succeeded, but now I can't boot into system anymore. Is it too late to flash the 10.3.2 boot.img?

Someone posted a patched boot.img for 10.3.2, so now I'm rooted without TWRP. Priorities. Now all I need is for special characters and emojis to work Will keep an eye on other threads.
I'm learning a lot, thanks so much for all your help. You pointed me in the right direction when I was not sure what the hell to do!

Hi. For some reason, I'm not able to make my phone working with any custom ROM but MIUI ones. I tried the guides about flashing the 9.5.9 first, flashing the firmware but still, every time I flash a custom ROM (with flash result 1 in TWRP) and I reboot into the system, the phone keeps rebooting quickly after displaying only the MI logo. Apparently it shows that there isn't a valid firmware installed, but I followed the guides with no success. Any advice? Thanks!

Hmm, unofficial twrp 3315 by mauronofrio?
Which device variant do you have, china or global? And device code name are perseus(4g)?
I suggest make a clean flash (without relock) with miflashtool, then install any new EU rom, after that try flash RR, with these step nothing could go wrong.

Yes, It should be the 3.3.1.5 by mauronofrio; my Mi MIX 3 is the global version and right now I'm using the MIUI 11 9.10.10. What version of MIUI should I install using miflashtool? Thanks!
I cannot get data decryption with Android Q on any of the twrp builds.

Try last global beta 9.6.27, its the most stable with new feature, even better than global stable.
Then install any eu miui10 rom newer than 9.6.27, after that install custom rom.
Remember to boot up after each install, not necessary to complete set up, just boot up to welcome screen.

Even though the thread is quite old I have exactly the same problem with no suggestion here in the forums working to fix it
Can anybody please help me getting this figured out. My goal is to install the Pixel experience Rom for perseus (non 5g) posted here.
You MUST FORMAT data partition when you install anything from stock roms. It should boot after you format, and I'm not saying with the rm -rf option in settings if you have TWRP. It must be a full format of data. I know some of the older ROMs used to take many minutes to boot the first time (like up to 10). I am not actively developing for android after they turned on the hardware backed verity states and broke Google Pay with unlocked bootloader, I left android.
So I was using PixelExperiece ROM and decided to switch back to MIUI. I downloaded latest fastboot ROM from MIUI website, Flashed it using MI FLash Tool.
While flashing my phone displayed "System has been destroyed" in between. And MIFlash tool showed some error.
So, I tried flashing again and MIFlash tool now said Bootloader was locked. (Because lock_all_and_install was selected previously).
Therefore I downloaded MI Bootloader unlock tool. (The phone still shows "System has been destroyed"). Ignoring that warning, I went to fastboot and ran unlocker. To my surprise, after unlocking was complete and phone restarted it booted into MIUI. I thought "System has been destroyed" problem would be solved. But later I realised, my camera was not focusing on close range object. It wasnt focusing at all. Then after playing around to check everything I found out, my camera was not focusing, gyro was not working (No auto rotate and noting in CIT test) neither was my compass working. So there is some kind of problem with my hardware now.
Later I tried flashing same fastboot ROM again hoping it will install fully now and not ending up in "System has been destroyed" error. And I also chose option to not lock bootloader while flashing in MI Flash tool. This time the phone did started on to MIUI but in MI Flash tool it kept showing flashing as status. Even after I disconnected my phone USB cable it said flashing. And those hardware things are still not working.
While using PixelExperience I did changed SELinux mode to make ANXCamera work. Would it (SELinux mode) be a problem for hardware not working? Or is there any other problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.

While using PixelExperience I did changed SELinux mode to make ANXCamera work. Would it (SELinux mode) be a problem for hardware not working? Or is there any other problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Wait what u said u flashed recovery rom via mi flash ? U have to flash persist.img (u will find this in your fastboot rom) from custom recovery in system/persist partition. Thats it.

Im sorry, my mistake. I flased fastboot ROM only. Not recovery. MIFlash tool won't allow you to flash recovery ROM at all.

Mmmm... No need to worry extract persist.img from fastboot rom folder and flash via OF recovery in system/persist partition. Then boot u get all your sensors back.

Instead of fixing existing sensors, flashing persist.img screwed up my wifi and hotspot. After flashing whole fastboot ROM againg they are now working. But other sensors are still not working.

Really? I mean i used same method last time for my sensors to work again and that worked for me. Next workaround is u should clean flash miui 10 fastboot rom then update to miui 11 using updater app. Hope it should work for u.

This persist.img thing might work for you or might not.
The full proof way is to reinstall Pixel Experience (Android 10) so that you get your sensors up and running again, then flash MIUI 10 and upgrade to MIUI 11 using system updater app.

Its fine. Just install Netflix from ApkMirror (not from Google Play) and it should work.

okay, i willl let you know if it works
I think you should try reflashing the stock firmware using the Mi Flash and select wipe data option.

I got all the sensors back again, everything working fine.
Here is what is did (using PC):
1) i installed Pixek Experience ROM (Android 10) using ADB Fastboot method.
Pros: Every sensors started to work, back to normal.
Cons: None i noticed.
2) Then i turn off the phone and entered into fastboot mode
3) I flashed MIUI 10 fastboot ROM using MIFlash Tool. Though i didn't get the "Success" message on MIFlash Tool but phone booted itself (did show MIUI 10 during boot up, and Set Up screen was appearing) so i assumed flashing was complete. Then i unplugged phone from USB cable.
After setup,
Pros: Every sensors was working perfectly fine.
Cons: None i noticed.
4) i updated from MIUI 10 to MIUI 11 using System update on phone. Now i am on MIUI 11 and everything works FINE!!
So what i found is there is some problem with MIUI 11 fastboot ROM itself. Directly flashing MIUI 11 fastboot ROM is the reason sensors stops working!!

Yes, its kernel problem. It happens if you are flashing MIUI 11 based on Android Pie from any AOSP based ROM running Android 10.
Hi guys,
I made a mistake installing the Android 11 firmware update and afterwards flashing TWRP and installing Magisk.
Second mistake because I couldn't boot I flashed an old Fastboot ROM, but that doesn't help me.
Can anyone please point me to the fastboot rom for android 11 update?
Thank you very much.

I guess the best way to go back to stock is using msmtool you can find it here: with android 10 for international and European version: Thread '[OP7PRO][LATEST OOS 10.3.8 GM21AA | OOS 10.0.10 GM21BA] Collection of unbrick tools' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...0-gm21ba-collection-of-unbrick-tools.3956595/

If you ended with a blinking TWRP just flash the stock/rooted boot.img if you are using stable you can obtain it here(Post in thread 'Android 11 Release - Finally!' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/android-11-release-finally.4251267/post-84717089)

Hey,
I bricked my OP7 after what seemed like successfully installing and using Android 11. I am getting the Teamwin blinking brick.
This(
) seems like something I can do- flashing Fastboot ROM(even though I'll lose data, but wth). Can you please tell me if this comment of yours applies in my case- i.e. is the link you are suggesting for Android 11 Fastboot ROM valid?

As a rain check, as I am new to this, and don't want to screw up more,
You mean I can use this method-
Restore OnePlus 7/7T/7T Pro to Stock via Fastboot Commands - DroidWin
to flash the latest stable build on OnePlus support, i.e. this-
https://otafsg1.h2os.com/patch/amaz....P.35_OTA_0350_all_2103221240_3e944b9d067.zip(OnePlus7Oxygen_14.P.32_OTA_032_all_2101280019_b2a62765ba0c485e.zip)
??
Or do you suggest to use the Android 11 firmware available on XDA?

You can do it with the fastboot zip but you need to download all the firmware, in some threads you will find the stock/rooted boot.img from stable and OB, I shared both in this message

I am pretty sure I know my OS, but is there a way to find out?
I was running the stable, but flashing stock boot just led me to a boot loop with the Original Recovery, it's giving me options to
1. Wipe data and cache
2. Reboot to fastboot
3. Reboot to recovery
The fastboot flash commands above to flash stock OS didn't work, due to one error or another.
Anyhow, I had read somewhere fastboot continue works(here: it wasn't working before for me), so I tried that again, and now I am just stuck on 1+ Fastboot screen. I will wait it out to see if it boots into system.
Otherwise, I am thinking I reload fastboot and flash stock boot just like I did- and from there wipe data, but what do I expect then??
The way I see it, I am just stuck in some serious boot issue, and might eventually have to go down the path of msndownloadtool, any suggestion?

Flashing the stock boot.img should be enough to boot into system without problems because TWRP can't decrypt data in android 11.
In this point you can try a factory reset from stock recovery this will keep device files but will erase all your config and apps
To figure out what version of firmware you had you can run this command in fastboot
Fastboot getvar all

Flashing didn't work to boot into system, I was just getting stuck in the Recovery boot loop, it finally booted into system once I wiped my data(files, music, etc -option);
I did try factory reset, only once I cleared the partition, did the boot loop give way to boot into system;
It booted back to Android 11, but it's all glitchy: Boot taking too long, WiFi not switching on, Call not working, Data is working though- basically it's very screwed up, got a couple of errors too- it's like watching an amnesiac old person.. if you get the gist.
So, now I am considering a stable build from Oneplus support website as a local upgrade and booting back to that..
I am hard pressed for options, let me know if you think something else works better, thanks!

I guess msmtool it's the best way to restore your phone, remember that msmtool will re-lock your bootloader so if you want root you need to unlock your bootloader again.
Use msmtool and instructions form Here(there's an android 9 and android 10 for Global and Europe versions, use android 10)

Hey, I am on Mac, I see that Msm is windows-specific.. any way out?
Update: I have been roaming around the corridors of this forum since about a week now. Thanks @RokCruz !!
Finally, used msm tool, although I suspect I still had the option of flashing TWRP and Magisk as I had access to phone and fastboot, but the system was super glitchy.
