Bootloop after trying to install LineageOS 18.1 - OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I'm having troubles after following the guide here - https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/guacamole/install
I initially had stock Android 11 with latest update. I've followed the instructions, all went well until I rebooted to system. It just tries to boot for a few minutes, then it restarts and does this again. Doesn't seem to boot.
Is there a way to fix this?
Also, would be possible to get back to stock rom and how?
Thank you in advance!

Managed to fix, in the end. Was a real headache.
If anyone is having similar problem and they have to unbrick their phone, I suggest this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.3954325/
Follow the steps in that thread. To enter EDL mode, you will have to turn off your device, hold Volume UP and Volume down (without power button) and while holding insert the USB cable into the phone and into your PC. By doing so, it will be detected by the computer and will show up in Device Manager.
The most annoying issue I had was the phone was connecting for a few seconds, then disconnect. What worked for me after many many tries was using a newer image, mine being an international device I used 10.3.8. I opened MSM from the 10.3.8 package and Device Manager, connected the cable to the computer, but not to the phone, I've pressed volume up and down, connected the cable to the phone while holding volume buttons and as soon as Qualcom driver showed up in Ports (COM & LPT), I hit start on MSM.
If it still gives you the error "Sahara Communication Failed. Please try again after power off phone" try with a different package version, for me this one worked, but before that I've tried with a different one and I was getting this error.
Hope it will help someone, at some point. I know how frustrating it is and if I helped you be less frustrated than I was, that's a win.

Total brick after last night's OTA update

Received an OTA notification and installed. At last check, was at the "updating apps" stage. Went to bed. This morning, nothing. Won't turn on at all. Was plugged in all night. No splash screen, no vibration, nothing. Totally dead. Power button + Down button doesn't work. Any hope of recovery?
Update
Also getting - unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed) / code 43 when trying to plug the phone into my computer.
Did you try holding volume down and connecting phone to computer? Try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes, reconnect the battery, and try to power up.
If for some reason it's an issue with the bootloader, there's a backup bootloader, hold vol up + power
Also something to try is LGNPST, that can reflash stock firmware
Power button+volume down doesn't work? The device might be fried. That might also be why your PC doesn't recognize your phone, although the very fact that your PC does recognize that there is something trying to connect to it, makes me doubt my hypothesis.
I'd try to adb reboot it, I think the phone doesn't have to be turned on for that to work. Are you familiar with adb commands? That way I was able to revive my old HTC that was stuck in bootloop and volume buttons didn't work so couldn't get into recovery. Just turned off the phone, plugged into the PC and adb reboot recovery or something, don't remember the exact command line, but you can find guides about it easily.
damn ! i have the same problem after the last OTA update
Maybe it's volume up while inserting the USB cable? Can't remember as I haven't used a nexus 5 for months.

I think the steps should be clear. It's always the same since OnePlus 3/T. There is only one little different thing.

Hi friend, what is that different thing you say? Some is the first time we have a OnePlus, so we do not know.
Another question I have is that my OnePlus 7 works fine, but I wanted to see if this program recognizes me my OnePlus in case I ever need it, how can I enter the necessary mode to be detected by this program?
I press volume up and volume down and then I connect the cable, at that moment the program makes me "connected" (see attached image, left side), but after a few seconds it appears that "disconnected" and the phone restarts and OSS starts .
When I connect it, the images "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3) appear in the device manager.
I do not understand why my mobile when I connect it by pressing the volume buttons and without touching anything of the program it appears that connected and after a few seconds it disconnects itself and OOS restarts.
Regards, and thank you very much.

The different part is you need to press volume up and volume down. With the older phones there was only one button. Don't remember volume up or down.
Not sure why your phone disconnecting automatically.

Hi friend, could you try if the same thing happens to you?
Made the mistake of locking my bootloader directly and bricked the hell out of my standard 7. I kept getting "Your device is corrupt and it can't be trusted". No Recovery accessible, only bootloader.
Followed the steps here and everything is back to normal now!

Hello friend, could you help me to know why when I connect my device appears as connected and after 10 seconds it automatically restarts the OOS operating system? My phone works well, it's just a test to know if one day I have a brick to know that this program works in my case.
I would need (now that your device works, like mine) to start in a way that the program detects and looks "connected", then wait a moment and without pressing any button on the program or phone to see if it restarts alone. I am thinking that if the phone works well, the program when connected only starts the system automatically.
Read some messages above in case I have not explained myself well.
Could someone who has a good phone confirm this? Can the program attempt to automatically restart the device if the "Start" button of MsmDownloadTool is not pressed within 10 seconds?
Thanks greetings.

Yep, same here. Maybe it's because device isn't bricked. I'm not sure about that. Never tried MSMTool when my device wasn't bricked.

hello, thanks for trying it, then that happens, if it is not locked it restarts, or maybe the EDL mode restarts for security if you don't press Start on the Msm tool.
---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------
Indeed we have already resolved the doubt about why EDL mode is disconnected after 10 seconds. It is a security system, you have 10 seconds to press Start. here another partner who has tried it and that happened to him, until he hit start and flashed everything well.

I see that you sent a private message to me also and mentioned that you got into the Bootloader. That is not what you need.
First of all, you will need to install the qualcom drivers from here: https://www.androidjungles.com/qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-driver-64-bit-windows/
Afterwards, you will need to hold both volume buttons, and after a few seconds connect your phone to the computer via cable (while still holding the volume buttons).
The phone will be detected as a Qualcom device and you cand start following the tutorial that was provided earlier.

Hello friend, I already managed to enter the EDL mode correctly, the doubt is that when I connected it after 10 seconds, the phone disconnected and relapsed. That's why I said that if I could test now that your phone works, it also automatically restarts without touching any Msm program button once connected in EDL mode.
Something with EDL mode in OP7 is currently wrong.
As the predecessors wrote, after connecting, it is interrupted after a few seconds and the phone reboots.
I also have OP3, OP6 in them after the EDL mode is switched on the connection is maintained all the time.

That's what @Thelargeportion wrote at OP7Pro thread:
"Yes, it did on mine. I've just used this tool to recover from root to stock.
Noted that if the program isn't started within 10 seconds, the phone rebooted automatically, I'm guessing as some sort of security lock. Restarted in EDL, connected to the MSMDownloadtool and executed the program as soon as it was connected and it flashed absolutely fine.
Note that after the phone is restarted after a successful flash, it takes about 1-2 minutes to boot again having stuck on the OnePlus boot logo."
Could be true. But nevermind... It works and that's important.:laugh:
Yes, it is the most important thing that it flashes the system image.
However, it does not maintain a permanent session in EDL as
in previous OnePlus models, and that may be worrying.

If something works differently, it usually is always puzzling.

Hello friend, yes, that happens to all of us, it is not an isolated case, but if once you enter EDL mode and connect the phone to the PC and it appears "connected", you press start and everything works. You must press start in 10 seconds since entering EDL mode, once you press start, it no longer restarts and blinks correctly.
This of the 10 seconds occurs in all OnePlus 7 series (normal and PRO).

Neffos X-1 stuck in bootloop

Heya folks,
I have just attempted my first time flashing TWRP on my TP-Link Neffos X-1 following this guide: https://rootmygalaxy.net/twrp-root-...nd_Install_TWRP_Recovery_On_TP-Link_Neffos_X1.
Its looking kinda grim. It starts with the orange state Message and that the device will boot in 5 seconds, however after that it starts with an infinite bootloop. I also cannot access the Recovery (vol up + power), for it simply doesnt work anymore after the guide. When I plug it into my pc, it will automatically start with the bootloop (I can shut the phone off with vol down + power).
Attempting to get into fastboot mode over ADB (adb reboot bootloader), returns with the message error: device '(null)' not found. I think that is due to it not being recognized in the device manager(it doesnt show my phone anymore but unknown device). I tried to install the phone driver for the uknown device, however that keeps failing. I think its due to the phone permanently connecting and reconnecting to the pc.
So I'm wondering of what to do. I guess the biggest issue is that the drivers are not recognized, but as long as the phone keeps on restarting every couple of seconds i doubt i can properly install the driver. You guys got any ideas?
My guess is you haven't installed on Windows PC the appropriate Android USB Driver matching the device
I mean the appropriate USB driver had to be there for me to flash it with the TWRP in the first place, right?
Think I clearly said that the additionally required USB-driver has to be installed on Windows PC.
I have this one installed https://rootmydevice.com/download-neffos-usb-drivers/, is this the additionally required usb driver?
So far, despite what driver I pick for the device, it shows the code 10, device couldnt be started - probably because it never gets past the starting screen but keeps rebooting

Try this TWRP file: TWRP_3.2.3_NeffosX1_TP902A_by_kiruha_21.img
The thing is, I cannot flash anything due to my phone constantly rebooting while inserted in the pc usb-slot. Neither ADB nor my device manager recognize the device and as mentioned before, I cannot install any drivers

Some MTK devices has this: Press both VOL+ & Power buttons. Only remove 2 buttons when you see Bootloader mode (recovery; fastboot; reboot system) or directly in the Recovery mode. Now you can use fastboot.
With the SPFT you can use same tip above. In the SPFT choose DOWNLOAD and plug USB device. Process to flash stock ROM or stock recovery.img & boot.img start.
If not start pugging USB: choose DOWNLOAD - press VOL- and plug USV device. You can try with buttons like only VOL- or VOL+ or combo buttons VOL+&VOL- or VOL-&VOL+ or other button combination.
You can try FIRMWARE UPGRADE too.
That's depend about LOCKED or Unlocked bootloader process that you made before actions!
If you unlocked bootloader so only need patience. If not so that's no good.

(Solved) Oneplus 8T Qualcomm logo blinking

Hi!
I have tried to install a custom rom, but there was an error. When I tried to boot back to bootloader mode, the qualcomm logo started blinking and the device is vibrating.
Tried to connect to pc, but I don't see any device in COM Ports in the device manager, also MSM tools says waiting for the device.
If I connect the cable while I am pressing the both volume button, I hear the sound from the pc that something is connected, but after a few seconds the device disconnects.
Can you help me?
Got the same problem installing a wrong firmware, probably. I'm hoping for someone knowing how to solve...
That was easy. Unfortunately I had to format the phone entirely (MSMTool), but it's back with the living.
Install Qualcomm EDL drivers
Download an MSMTool release for OnePlus 8T
Enter in EDL Mode. With the phone connected to a computer running Windows, press volUp + volDown right when you see the Snapdragon logo. The phone will stay with screen off
Follow the usual flashing procedure with MSMTool
Thanks, I just had to install the Qualcomm drivers exe file. After that it appeared in device manager.

Lg Velvet failed system update into blackscreen

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I start an Android System update on my Lg Velvet LM-G900EM while it was connected to the pc in transfer file mode: it shutted down like it normally does but it didn't turn up. The screen is full black and I've tried different button presses on the phone but nothing seems to waking it up. When I reconnect the phone my Pc it is seen as "Quectel QDLoader 9008 (COM6)" which I've read is correct in this cases. I've tried adb but is not shown on the list of "adb devices" and I can't do much if it's not shown there. I've tried connecting it to the pc with different button pressed but it's not recognised as it should be. On the LGUP software is not recognised either. If anybody can help me I will be very grateful. Thanks a lot guys.
I have a similar problem. After a reboot, the phone would not boot up again and it showed up on the PC as QUSB_BULK_CID:0402_SN:xxxxxxx.
Helped, press power button and at the same time connect the USB cable to the PC. After 3 or 4 attempts it booted up again. Maybe it helps you too.
Try to Hard Reset Then May be boot up.
