[Help Needed] Soft-bricked device - OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers

To tell you the short story, I was dumb.
I rooted my oneplus 8 using magisk, but the WiFi didn't work. I had no idea how to unroot a oneplus 8 so I just used msmdownloadtool for my device and got an error "param preload failed". My device is now broken.
What I have tried.
Flashing all files and partitions. (I get an error saying something along the lines of system partition not found, i will attach image below).
msmtool in usb 3 and 2 on Ryzen and intel (i get param preload failed error every time).
What I want to try.
Unlock critical flashing and try flashing all files and partitions again (scared of har bricking device).
What happens when I boot.
First thing I've noticed is boot time has been greatly increased ever since rooting. Without a system rom I boot to a black screen but the strange thing is, that is i hold down power down i still get a stock android power off and reboot popup.
My device:IN2013 European oneplus 8 (was on oos 11)

Please, any help is greatly appreciated. I have only had this phone for a month and a half. Also if you do answer make it very clear as I am fairly new to all this.

I would download the fastboot ROM from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/fastbootroms/files/OnePlus 8/11.0.0-EUROPE-OnePlus8Oxygen_15.E.30_OTA_0300_all_2009301818_e9aef8a82-FASTBOOT.zip/download
And just start again. Don't forget to wipe internal before you flash.
Also, make sure you are in fastbootd and not fastboot.

[Q] Help flash/ restore Star S9500 after Clearing eMMC

Hello,
I need help to recover my phone - Star s9500 after booting into factory mode and going to "Clear eMMC" (I know this was stupid of me but that is another story...). From MTKDroidTools, the phone hardware reads mt6582 and was running 4.2.2.
When the phone powers on, I only get the Android bootup animation and everything stops there.
I managed to install CWM using MTKDroidTools and even tried to flash the ROM using CWM after placing the zipped image on an sdcard. CWM simply aborts after attempting to read the zipped package.
For some reason MTKDroidTools does not show the IMEIs, but I can see the records when I power the phone into factory mode.
I tried to flash the rom using SP Flash tools as indicated in this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2458369, but I simply keep waiting with the indicator "EMMC searching" from the tool or the phone itself even after 10 minutes (see attached files).
I am attempting to flash with this rom - http://www.needrom.com/mobile/star-s9500-mt6582-fwvga/ .
I did read somewhere that I have to setup partition information stored in the eMMC for the flashing to be successful. The post on this is here: http://checkrom.com/threads/formatting-emmc-no-no-no.647/ , but I believe I can get this phone up and running again.
Various sources say that I only need to flash the rom. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Why am I unable to flash with SP Flashtools? What alternative flash tools can I try? For pictures please see attached.
I am also now getting a BROM Error from SP Flashtools saying Failed to open COM 8.(see attached)
Thank you in advance!

Unbrick LG f70 d315

Good evening at all!
Sorry for the trouble but after long hours of research and attempts without solving the problem I thought to try to ask with a thread.
I'll explain what's my problem: I have a lg f70 d315 that no longer wants to start.
It has not been used for a long time and I can not tell you what was done to it last time.
The phone stays locked in the boot screen with the LG logo.
I tried to perform a factory reset from the stock recovery but the situation is not changed. (it stays stucked on "performing factory rest")
I tried to start the device in download mode pressing Vol UP while booting but instead of showing the download mode screen, the fastboot commands are shown (as in picture)

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The bootloader is locked so I can not flash a modified recovery (which I find here https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-lg-f70-d315-t3278742) or flash the file laf.img necessary to access the download mode.
any attempt I do to flash shows these errors
Even when testing with "fastboot boot recovery.img" commands, the phone loads the TWRP recovery but remains locked in the twrp logo screen, without continuing or allowing other operations.
is the device unrecoverable?
Connecting it to the PC is only recognized when it is in fastboot, in all other cases (with mobile phone off, during startup) is not shown by windows.
Thank you very much for your help or just having read the post,
Enrico

Stuck in bootloop Blu Advance 5.0 HD

So I tried to install TWRP to a Blu Advance 5.0 HD (seems there's not much info on these phones too) and after some bootloops with TWRP (for a failure in the recovery script), I was able to get back into fastboot and flash the stock image from bluroms info website, however now it simply goes to the BLU screen and restarts all the time. I've tried every possible combination with buttons but can't get anywhere, any ideas?
Edit: Upon further searches and realizing I screwed up and flashed boot.img instead of the recovery image from bluroms website, I have also found that I have no way of recovering the device with adb/fastboot, but that I could have a possibility if I use SPFlash tool (Yes, it detects it when plugging it in and whilst it is doing the bootloop) to try and flash the correct file to the device (which currently fails with an error message that doesn't have many details [I do the following things to get the error:
1 - Load the scatter file.
2 - Select recovery to be flashed.
3 - Click download
4 - Plug phone into computer
5 - Wait for download
6 - Error message pops up:

"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
]).
If there are any ideas on recovering a device from this state without having to buy anything, it'd be appreciated. (And hopefully a good list of instructions on how to use SPFlash tool to recover the device).

Question Block in boot after fresh install with LMSA

Hi,
I am fairly new to flashing and rooting android devices. I managed to root my tablet a few months ago using the following sc00ter98 procedure:
Pad 11 (TB-J606F) Unlock! Magisk! RoooooT !!!
https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1014576&view=findpost&p=107199725 Translator from Russian: https://www.deepl.com/translator 😁🙃(y)
forum.xda-developers.com
But after that I noticed that my tablet no longer received Android updates, I wanted to manually update Android using the LMSA utility. I made a backup of my data before that so I could afford to lose everything. But once the process was finished my system won't boot anymore. In fact I am stuck on a menu at startup not knowing what to do.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is the only menu I have access to. I can change the "START" with volume buttons and there are :
Restart bootloader
Recovery Mode
Power off
Boot to FFBM
Boot to QMMI
But watherver I choose, this only reboot the tablet and then go back to this menu.
I would then very much need your know-how if you please!
Thans by advance,
Jiddu
