Trying to go back to Oxygen OS from Lineage OS, problems with MSM Tool - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

Hello! First post here, bit of a doozy. I have a OnePlus 6 and this weekend I decided I'd try out LineageOS 18. I installed it fine and it works (phone isn't bricked) but I've decided I want to go back to Oxygen OS now. However, I'm having a lot of trouble making this happen.
I've been following all the various guides, which involve using MSM Tool to flash the stock ROM back to the phone, but it always hangs up when I hit "Start" on MSM Tool. It'll get stuck on "Waiting for Device," or sometimes I get "Open Serial Device Failed" and I've also gotten "Sahara Communication Failed."
It seems like I can get everything else right though, so I'm not sure why it hangs here. The phone, when plugged in, shows up in Device Manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)" like it should, and it also shows up in MSM Tool under COM 3, so it should be good, but it just never works when I hit "Start."
Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? It's not the end of the world but I'm having issues with Lineage and it would be real nice to be back on stock Oxygen OS. Thanks.

I wonder if you're on a USB 3.0 port. If so, try a USB 2.0 port. Cheers.

This might happen when you are using a USB 3.0 port. Try changing to a USB 2.0 port one.

This happens when 2 devices like printers or something uses the same COM port, make sure there is no weird serial devices are plugged in at the same time, also make sure your drivers are installed correctly and functioning.

When you get the Sahara message, leave the message on the screen and hold the power and volume up buttons on your phone. It will briefly re-establish connection then start the download. This worked for me when I had the problem. Good luck.

Oneplus One unbrick issue?

Hi Guys,
Im new to the forums so i hope this is the right place for this post
I have a hardbricked oneplus one 64GB.
I have read and followed mutiple guides here and on youtube on how ot unbrick it.
But in every guide i followed mine "failed" at the same step.
When i start the "oneplus one recovery tool" or Msm8974DownloadTool this happens; (cant seem to use a link so ill try to explain it).
It starts with one green bar, when that is finished it stops an i hear the disconnected device sound.
I am currently on Win 10 but i also tried it on WinXP since mutiple posts suggested hat it would work better, but that also didnt help.
I also tried diffrent drivers (oneplus driver from the color zip), google multi driver, qualcomm driver etc.
Hope someone can help

I don't have all the info since i got the phone from a "friend" who was about to throw it out, but ill do my best to provide accurate info
According to the privious owner the flashing of a custom rom or recovery went wrong and it ended up in it's current state.
The recovery tools i tried are;
- Oneplus one recovery tool by; Zyxxeil
- Oneplus one toolkit 1.5 by Manudroid19
- Msm8974DownloadTool

Use the one with cm11s by Zyxxeil.Use Xp and use Qualcomm drivers,as this tool doesn't use fast boot/adb drivers and instead uses USB debugging port.
It need a few tries before device getting detected.
Make sure the device is getting recognized as "Qhs_bulk" or "Qualcomm diagnostics 9006" or some thing like that then install drivers manually.Also try different ports and refresh the toolkit. Open the toolkit with administrator rights.
Hope this helps

I'm on windows xp now.
Made a clean install to be sure.
Phone is connected as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
The Zyxxeil tool recognizes it as a com port.
When i press start, it starts flashing 8974_msimage.mbn
When it finishes it just does the same. It looks like it's stuck on a loop at flashing 8974_msimage.mbn
I would post some pictures but i can't since im a new user
Edit; It is the same as this guy; youtube (dot) com/watch?v=TOw3-yX57jM
Flashing 8974_msimage.mbn nin a loop.... you're not the only one with this problem. I couldn't find a solution to this problem so far. Have tried fresh installs of Windows XP and Windows 7 and drivers installed in Test Mode without success. Please report back once you could figure out what's wrong.

Got it,it's because of a bad download or corrupt zip perhaps.Redownload the toolkit and also try with Color Os toolkit too.
If your device is recognized then there's no way you can't bring it back to life.

Just redownloaded the tools and tried again.
Still the same issue, i also tried the color os toolkit like you suggested.
I have the same issue too, keep installing 8974_msimage.mbn again and again.
I'm still open for sugestions since the issue is still there

Although it is correct that you must run it as admin, this isn't the issue at all. There are phones that appear to be broken beyond the point where you can fix it with software.

Yep, i always run tools like this as admin, the issue is something else in this case, but i wouldn't know what exactly
I may have found a solution/work-around to the problem described (in case anyone's still trying to unbrick a OPO after all this time). I must warn, however, that I really have no idea what I'm doing as I'm new to all of this, and have blundered through with no real understanding of what's going on, so pay heed at your own risk. It uses Qualcomm's QFIL program and Zyxxeil's OPO unbricking tool. I want give detail in describing the steps involved, so this will be fairly long.
***background***
My 64GB OPO has for the past couple of months almost always failed to get past the first 6-7 seconds of booting, and powered off before reaching the Cyanogen animation. It did the same when booting into fastboot and recovery, and at some point it stopped being able to access recovery at all. Very rarely it would boot, but pressing the power button while it was on would cause it to crash a few seconds later. I discovered that it would consistently boot properly if volume up were tapped while holding down the power button before it vibrates and the OnePlus logo appears, but this fix simply stopped working recently, and so it became impossible to turn the OPO on. Before giving up on it, I decided it would be worth trying the hard unbricking tool based on the ColorOS installer by Zyxxeil. However, I had the problem where the tool continually repeats the step of flashing 8974_msimage.mbn without progressing any further, to which nobody ever seemed to find a solution. I may have found a way to get around the problem, however.
Even though the procedure seems to have worked, the phone still shuts down after a few seconds as it did before (so I suspect my device has a hardware problem, possibly with the power button, and there's nothing that can be done for it). This means that I can't confirm that the fix actually works, but only that it appears to have worked. What it did was:
1) unbricked the phone - it probably wasn't even bricked before, but it definitely was after the installer hung on 8974_msimage.mbn ; it wouldn't respond to the power button at all afterwards. Applying the workaround allowed it to show signs of life again.
2) installed the COS11 fastboot. I'm not sure and can't tell whether the rest of the OS is there or intact, but the fastboot logo has changed from the newer small one to the bigger one from older versions.
***the problem***
The standard method for dealing with a hard-bricked OPO is to use the ColorOS tool as described in the "[GUIDE] [UNBRICK] Unbrick Oneplus One" thread and then flash Cyanogen, or to use Zyxxeil's tool which goes straight there. A common issue in both is that after pressing start, the tools repeat the step of flashing 8974_msimage.mbn , seemingly disconnecting the phone each time, and never progressing beyond that. This happened to me as well. This will happen if the tool is not run as an administrator, but for some people the same problem is seen even if it's run as an administrator. To the best of my knowledge, nobody has posted a solution to this problem, but some have suggested using alternative methods such as using QFIL (which I have gotten to work) or MiFlash.
***potential solution***
From what I understand, QFIL does the same thing as the unbricking tool, only not automatically. I directed it to use the files provided by Zyxxeil's tool, and it was then able to do something that unbricked the device as described above. This is what I did: (all on Windows 10, *not* using the original cable)
Required files:
1) Obtain the Qualcomm QDLoader driver. I used the the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 2.1.0.5 x64 driver from Zyxxeil's tool's thread (page 5, #48).
2) Download Zyxxeil's tool. I used the 64GB version. Extract DRIVER.iso and run setup.exe as described. I'm not sure whether this actually did anything and presume manually installing the driver in 1) overrides this, but I'm including this for completeness.
3) Download QFIL version 1.0.0.2 . I originally used 2.0.0.5 , but this did not work (it produced the error "unable to read packet header. only read 0 bytes", to which the recommended solution was to use an older version). This can be run from the extracted folder. Open it once, and then close it again - it seems not to behave properly the first time it is run.
Preparation:
4) Create a new folder, for instance on the desktop, and give it a short name. Copy and paste (or just move) the contents of the "OnePlusRestoreTool" folder from Zyxxeil's tool into here. This step is because QFIL supposedly doesn't like long folder names or locations (I'm not sure whether this is true or not but there's no harm in making sure).
5) Install the QDloader driver: (the PC may need to be disconnected from the internet for this stage, I think Windows may try to automatically download and install incorrect drivers)
>Open device manager, then plug the OPO into the computer. It should come up after a few seconds under "Ports (COM & LPT)" as something like QHSUSB_BULK or Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. Mine originally showed up as "Quectel QDLoader 9008". If it comes up as a malfunctioned device ("Unknown USB Device") under "Universal Serial Bus controllers", try holding the power button on the OPO down for a few seconds, or holding it down for a few seconds at the same time as volume up. If it's still not recognised, try rebooting the PC and repeating this step.
>Right click on the device as it appears in device manager, select "Uninstall device", tick the box saying "Delete the driver software for this device", and click on "Uninstall".
>The OPO will disappear from device manager. Unplug and then replug it into the PC, and after a few seconds it should be recognised again, perhaps as "Unknown USB Device" again, requiring the same procedure as above. It should now show up as QHSUSB_BULK under "Ports (COM & LPT)"
>Right click on the device and select "Update driver", then "Browse my computer for driver software". Paste in the file path for the folder containing the driver as downloaded above, which will be called "20561190_ed08f7139a2028da454a6668162f44ac311facc0" if using the driver specified above. Ensure "Include subfolders" is ticked, and click on Next. This should install the driver, and because it's signed, it shouldn't present problems often encountered in this stage. Your device should now be called "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008", with (COM#) after it.
Fix:
6) Restart the PC, leaving the phone plugged in. Open device manager again. At this point, if it is detected as a malfunctioned "Unknown USB Device", do not try to remedy it as described above - leave it as it is. This is exactly what happened in my case.
7) Run QFIL.exe as an administrator. I don't know whether this is actually necessary to run as an administrator, but seeing as problems arise in the normal methods from not doing so, it seems sensible. If the device is listed as "Unknown USB Device", then QFIL should say "No Port Available".
8) In QFIL, click on "Browse" in the "select programmer" section. Navigate to the folder where the contents of Zyxxeil's tool were copied/moved to, and open "prog_emmc_firehose_8979.mbn". Lower down, click on "Load XML", which should give you three files to choose from. As I couldn't fully boot my OPO afterwards I don't know which one is most appropriate, but I have tried the procedure with each and it worked for all of them. Perhaps start with rawprogram_unsparse.xml and if that doesn't work try the other two. Click Open, then select patch0.xml , then click Open again.
9) Paying attention to the QFIL window, hold down power+volume up until the text changes from "No Port Available" to "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM#). Incidentally, this will also cause the device to change from "Unrecognised USB Device" to "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM#)" in device manager. I believe that this step starts "Qualcomm's debugging mode" as explained in Zyxxeil's thread, and this is necessary for the process to work.
10) Click on "Download" (below "Load XML"). QFIL should do its thing, and if nothing has gone wrong the phone might be unbricked at the end of the process. Disconnect from the PC and see if it works.
In my experience, where this step did not work it gave one of two errors:
"unable to read packet header. only read 0 bytes" - this happens on the newer version of QFIL, which is why I used the older one.
"unable to download flash programmer using sahara protocol" - this was the troublesome one. I believe it means that the phone is not in Qualcomm's debugging mode. This would probably be the case if, for whatever reason, the PC recognised the phone immediately as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, and so it wasn't necessary to hold power+volume up for the PC to recognise it properly. In my case the program ran properly the first time but was interrupted because I hadn't transferred all of the right files to the target folder. After I had done this and tried again, it gave this error. I fixed this by holding down power+volume up, while the device was recognised, until the PC made a sound indicating something had been plugged in. The next attempt to download was successful.
If the procedure doesn't work properly, it might also be worth using one of the other two XML files mentioned in step 9.
*** ***
Anyway, after hours of searching and trial and error, this unbricked the phone, with it becoming responsive once more to button presses, despite still having the original problem of powering down during boot. It seems to have the CM11 fastboot as expected, and I was able to have my PC recognise it in the short time it stays on using fastboot devices. Other than that, I'm afraid I don't know how successful this was, or how successful it would be for other people. I hope this is useful nonetheless!

Attempt at unlocking LG G7 ONE bootloader

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

Question OP9 Hard Bricked, cannot enter EDL mode because Windows won't properly recognize device, please help

I followed this tutorial. Qualcomm drivers worked briefly for detecting my device initially. I unplugged, opened up the MSM tool and went to plug the phone back in to begin the process, no luck. Now when I check device drivers it shows this error (Device Descriptor Request Failed). Does anyone have any experience with how to fix, its driving me nuts.

Keep at it.
I spent two days unbricking a 7T when it happened. Take 2/3 tutorials and see that every condition is met. Don't forget to look for the proper Qualcomm pilots, you might need to update them manually. (If I didn't know any better I'd say that your problem here)
The drivers you're looking for are named QDLoader something.
I know it should work because I did it on the One plus 9 if my memory serves me right, you just need to follow through and make sure that you also have the right MSM tool.
Pay attention to small details like the phone might be crashing on the start you should restart accordingly, or maybe you're not pressing the right volume button (was it up + power? I don't remember) and see what your computer sees plugged in.
Use more than one USB cable just in case but seems unlikely.
I followed this procedure since the one you referenced the google docs link would never download for me: https://www.droidwin.com/unbrick-oneplus-9-pro-msm-download-tool/
I had to use the alternate method to get to EDL mode in that tutorial since the normal one did not work. I also had to uncheck the box that said something about SHA256 before it would say Waiting.

HARD-BRICKED AND NOTHING WORKING FOR ME

UPDATE: Turns out "Firehose getufsinfo failed" is basically your memory is dead. Got RAM replaced and it started working just fine again, without any loss of data. It was a hardware issue.
hi, My Oneplus 7 Pro (GM 1911) is bricked to the point that the volume/power buttons don't boot me into fastboot anymore.
I tried using the MSM tool. The first time it loaded until the point it got stuck at "Param Preload". Since then, at every try, it goes as far as 'Firehose GetUFSinfo Failed' at the 7 seconds point and disconnects automatically. The Power/Volume buttons however work when I connect the phone to the PC. Fastboot doesn't work, it just helps reconnect to the PC without removing the USB C cable. And when that happens, it again disconnects at the 7-second point at "Firehose GetUFSinfo Failed".
When I disconnect and reconnect my phone either by physically removing the USB C cable or by pressing the volume buttons/power buttons, I get the "Firehose GetUFSinfo Failed" error, but when I don't do that and click on the 'ENUM' option in the top left of MSM tool, the device is shown as connected again, and then when I click start I get the "Sahara Connection Failed. Please try again after power off phone (PBL:6)" error.
At this point, I've used several different drivers, USB ports (3.0 and 2.0), and different OOS files. This happened out of nowhere, I had OOS beta of about 2021 installed.
Try disabling driver signature on Windows. Reinstall the MSM drivers and try again. That worked for me

did you have the 'firehose getufsinfo failed' error? because someone I just spoke to said that the error means that the storage chip is dead and software isn't gonna do anything. I would need a motherboard replacement
Not really sure, about the "getufsinfo failed" part. Was some firehose error.
Hi,
What do you have in the Port COM section in your windows console device manager ?
Did you try :
- another sure USB cable ?
- another computer ?
ie : I had to change from a computer using a USB-C to USB-C port to an old one using a tradtional USB port to make msm work
I have the same issue with un-bricking oneplus7t "Firehose getufsinfo failed"... nothing is working for me.. tried everything, now i don't know what to do.

Question SOLVED EDL Breakdown Loop Help Request

Don't like Android v.12 at all, so decided to test our a v 13 build. Even worse. So, decided to roll back to v11... something very bad happened along the way.
After getting the 11 dev version installed, I was installing another v11 rom and ended up with a Recovery boot loop,. Somewhere along the way while trying to fix that, my screen that will no longer come on at all. No vibrations or display no matter what I do.
Turns out, Windows could see it plugged in; albeit as Unknown Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). After lots of holding down buttons, lots of driver installs, disabling windows signatures, lots of different USB cables, leaving it on the charger overnight, and trying both USB and the USB-C ports, I finally got it to go from Unknown Device to Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
Tried MSM, but after 10-12 seconds I would get Sahara communication failed.
Back to troubling shooting... Start MSM as amin, swap usb cables, test all ports, ect., no luck.
Somewhere along the way, it seemed to get even worst... now, after 10 seconds or so after plugging in the phone, it will disconnect, followed by reconnecting a few seconds later. It is being detected as as the Qualcomm and it shows the com port it is connected to, but the device will drop out of device manager every few seconds before reconnecting. It is acting like it is in some soft of EDL bootloop.
I tried uninstalling the Qualcomm drivers and tried several different driver versions ( unsigned 2.1.0.5, Authenticode Signed 2.1.1.2, and Digitally Signed 2.1.2.2).
Outside of that, I am at a complete loss of what to try or do. Any suggestions?

First try and go ahead and pick target and the start button on MSM tool. Then try the 3 button combo till it reboots edl. When MSM tool connects it should start process without rebooting device.

So, that actually stablized the driver connection; however, it also brought be right back to Sahara Communication Failed.
Progress (I hope)!

Thanks for the info and links. I am on Windows 11, which seems to be an issue for some. I will see about trying it on my wife's v10 laptop tonight and see if that changes anything.
Solved!
Three button reboots and then both volume buttons to get back to EDL as soon as the driver dropped seemed to work. Took a few tries (on Win 11 using original usb-c cable) but it installed the rom and booted up.
'course, now is on an India variant, so I still gotta get back to LE2115, but that is another story for another thread.

Thanks for the link, I will give that a go.
Most of the MSM packages I could find for the LE2115 specifically either were bad links or had viruses. I did find a global version, which is what I was originally trying to use; however, when I finally got past my other issues, it gave me some sort of hardware version mismatch error in MSM (don't remember the exact message).
Somewhere along the way, someone suggested the India version. That one worked and I wasn't going to quibble at the time, as my main concern was just getting the lights to come back on.
Now I have a phone with a working display, that is my next todo...

These are def not viruses and windows has warned me of these as well on Win 11. Just accept and install. These are legit af
Completely back up and running again. Ran into the touchscreen issue, but fixed by using the linked Global MSM above.
As an FYI: the virus issue was from a FizzyAps post linking MSM for LE2115 on a Google Drive share. Couldn't download the file because it didn't pass Google's virus scan.
