Issue when using MSM Downloader tool, stuck on "Param preprocessing"

Hello XDA!
I am attempting to restore my OnePlus 6 back to full stock using the MSM Downloader tool. I have followed multiple guides but every-time I use the tool the progress stops at "Param preprocessing".
I have attempted to use multiple versions of the image (9.0.5, 9.0.4, 9.0.7 etc.) but to no avail. I've even completely re-installed Windows just-in-case drivers did not install correctly.
I would greatly appreciate any insight you guys can give me,
p.s. if there is another way to restore the phone to complete stock that would be great

Have you tried a different cable and or different USB port. Do you know how to put phone in edl mode?

Hi, I got the same error, try to uninstall all Qualcomm related drivers and let W10 download them for you, don't install them by yourself.. This is how I got it working (W10 Insiders Prev) and when you connect your phone while holding volume up, keep it pressed for like ~5 more seconds (IDK if that's usefull)

I know how to put the phone on EDL mode. I have also tried multiple USB ports but the same error occurs.

Did you enter in Windows 10 test mode?

yeah, I did make sure.

Unable to restore via MSMTool

I have made huge mistake and i dont know what to do and would really appreciate some help. I was on Open Beta 17 with magisk and twrp and i decided i wanted to revert the stock using msmtool. I have used it before so i know about all the drivers to install and how to get to edl and so on. So i started the msm software and hit start, but a few seconds into the flash i got the an error "firehosewritedata failed" and since then my device cant be recognised by my computer and its not booting up or even showing that its charging. I tried reinstalling the drivers and trying msmtool but the device isnt recognised at all.
Booting into fastboot only says Update download failed please check your download flow is right

Oh boy, that's a really bad situation. Is your EDL working? In EDL are you seeing the device as Qualcomm device in the device manager? If neither, try installing the Qualcomm drivers again and try EDL again..if still problem persist, head straight to the nearest service centre...
check this link too..

Use a USB 2.0 port.

Thank you for the feedback, and the late reply. I eventually reinstalled all oneplus drivers again and put windows to debugging mode and tried one more msmtool flash, and after a lot of praying and swearing it finally flashed successfully. For future reference, windows debugging mode is a good place to be in for doing these flashes or to ensure no fails.

Question My oneplus 9 le2110 stuck in EDL mode

I try all commands and procedure like volume+/- and power button all things but still screen is black and when i connect it to pc in manager it show me qualcomm 9008..
And when i flash it with msm tool oneplus 9 msm tool india it always show me error

Wrong suggestion, so I edited it out. Good luck unbricking

How?

I saw in another post that you are aware of your chinese version. So you probably already tried flashing this version ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/official-oneplus-9-oxygen-to-color-and-back.4256457/ ) just patch the to Oxygen again on the chinese version.

How i can patch i told my phone is stuck in Edl mode hard brick

So no fastboot commands are working? Fastboot devices says nothing? Say what you tried, and your current situation in as much detail as possible. People can only help you when they understand what happened and what is still possible to do.

Brother my device is stuck in Edl mode because when i connect to pc it show me qualcomm 9008 in device manager..
I tried all Fastboot commands, power + , power - button & power button but nothing happened still device stuck in Edl mode and also msm tools of india doesn't work

Did you ever get a good flash from msm tool? If not try the original chinese version phone came with.
Also you can try holding power button until phone reboots but nothing to boot too will just go back to edl.

Do you told me about solution?
My phone battery was 100% when it's stuck in Edl mode any idea for 100% to 0%?

Holding the power button an unreasonable long time always worked for me did it with 6 and 7pro. Even if it goes back to edl if you have msm ready and waiting for device v when it reboots to edl should pick it up and begin flash

See brother

I see what you mean. Not sure what sahara error state is. Not sure you'll be able to fix that on your own. You may need to contact oneplus see if they can help. They tend to be willing to help in most cases. But may cost you since I'm sure this wouldn't be covered under warranty.

sahara error usually happens when you flash the wrong firmware.

"Payload dumper 64" can get the files for you that's an application there is also a python script which does the same.

I personally used "payload dumper 64" then flashed the files vis fastboot to recover 2 Chinese variant until now( you have to use the right rom which is normally used to switch from Chinese rom to Oxygen)
This is just how I recovered the phones.
Edit: sorry it's late you are probably looking for the msm download tool files, I probably messed things up

Oneplus 8T HARD BRICKED ! HELP !!!

Hello everyone,
History : So i was using Rice driod on my OP 8T peacefully and i got an update on the rom. i installed the update via local update of the rom and after reboot the phone never booted back. i tried all button combos to make to boot anything like fastboot or recovery etc but nothing worked.
Problem : While connecting to PC the device shows as "Qualcomm HS Diagnostic 900E" I know it should show as 'qualcomm hs loader 900' something which indicates EDL state. So i can't perform MSM. There are not port showing in MSM either. Its blank. Even after forcefully trying to boot EDL ( button combos ), it always boots back to same state.
Fixes i have tried : Reinstalled qualcomm drivers many times, also tried many other versions of MSM including the Hydrogen OS one. No solution.
Can anyone please help me with this situation. Its been few days now and i have really no hope left with the device.

1st, make sure your device is connected and recognized as 9008 HS-USB QDLoader.
2nd, try using MSM of 9R Ported ROM for 8T, it works in almost every situation

The 1st one is main problem. It doesn't recognise as 9008 HS-USB QDLoader, it always keeps showing to 900E mode.

just a long shot, as i am on a 5t not the 8, but has windoze perhaps updated and "fixed" the usb driver on your behalf?
my 5t was invisible after unlocking, until i forced windoze to update the driver to an unsigned (working) version
[EOL][11.0][OFFICIAL] LineageOS 18.1 for Oneplus 5 & 5T
Is there anybody out there!🤭

That's a total different device state, it's on Diag mode, not EDL mode. Try to turn off the device COMPLETELY, then either using hardkeys ( VOL + VOL - press and hold at the same time, plug in cable ) or use Deep-Fash cable to put the device into correct EDL 9008 mode.

So, guys i was finally able to fix the device by EDL point method. Somehow the device was able to boot to edl anyhow. The drivers were correct and so was the cable etc, Thank you all for still helping me.
So relieved so my 8T alive again.

Could you please be more specific as to how you got it to connect in EDL mode - it would help others who end up in the same situation.

As you know already the phone wasn't able to go to EDL mode no matter what i did. I really don't know what caused the issue and why it wasn't booting even after using button combos (both vol) or to power off manually (vol up and power) it was went to Diagnostic Mode.
Here's what i did :
-Went to local shop for removing the back panel by those heating machines
-Unplug battery
-Then used the EDL points on the motherboard to force the device to boot EDL (this method is more seen in Mi , Redmi phones)
-The device immediately recognised by just one tap on "enum" now.
Thats how i flashed the OS, plugged the battery and panel, reboot

Thanks for sharing that - much appreciated.

So the localshop is using Testpoint trick. It has the same effect as using Deep-Flash cable but more trustable, only that u will have to open the back cover.
Congrats on successfully rescue the device mate

Thanks bro. Actually the shop kepper didn't do anything. Instead he was saying that the battery was damaged or something (probably scamming me) or he actually didn't had any idea for real. I had read about EDL point thing, so i just asked the shopkeeper to just remove the back panel. Rest i came home and did everything lol. NGL it was scary as hell.
In the process i also discovered that 8T and 9R being mostly identical also have same EDL points on motherboard. Same positioning too.

Ah I see, same here when I 1st try the Testpoint trick few years back, scary as hell cuz that was the only phone I had at that time ))))
Btw, yes, 9R and 8T shares almost everything besides of SOC's name ( Snap870 in fact is Snap865 OCing ). That's why I told u to use the MSM Tool of 9R port ROM for 8T, it passes almost every errors u may face when using MSM of 8T itself!

Hi, I'm the same boat after a bad flash of OSS12, hard brick, black screen, not detected in Windows devices manager, no vibration with every button combination ...
Could you share where the edl points are on the OnePlus 8T motherboard please ?
I would be eternally grateful!

Bricked My phone, cant get into FastbootD to fix it

So i recently wanted to root my OOS 12 oneplus nord, and i bricked it..
i cant get into fastbootD, Recovery, or anything at all except fastboot, the device is detected as Android bootloader interface in device manager, i have tried using: msm tool, flashing normal rom (error: partition not found and Flashing is not allowed for critical partition)

As a last resort, this worked for me : [OPNORD][OOS AC01AA/BA/DA] Unbrick tool to restore your device to OxygenOS

worth trying another USB port too, even if they are supposed to be the exact same. Same thing happened with my laptop, tried another (presumably identical) USB port and it works first time, every time

1st, u really should find the exact drivers. But also very important to remember booting your PC into Test Mode with Driver Signature Enforcement OFF - BEFORE installing the EDL 9008 Drivers for your device.
Besides, after you press and hold both Vol buttons, u should plug the device in IMMEDIATELY, not waiting for 40 seconds, since each time the device boots into EDL mode, if there's no connection is established in 5 seconds , the device will automatically out of EDL mode.

Hey, so after some time (I got a new phone by now) I managed to fix it, turns out that i had to instantly put in the cable, just like how LinhBT Said
