ONEPLUS 8 STUCK W/O Software - OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I have a Oneplus 8 5W from Verizon, and I followed a topic to unlock the device which I did successfully. However, I'm stuck in Fastboot. I tried installing TWRP, but couldn't utilize it to flash to software. Can someone help?

You should have used MSMTool to get a clean build of Android 11 prior to doing the unlock process. Repeat the instructions again.

While doing that. I found out that I have made a mistake and installed Oneplus 8 Pro software into my Oneplus 8. I knew that by installing TWRP and going to the terminal where it shows the name of the device. What can I do?

Again, use the MSMTool if still possible to restore to the original partitions. Start from the beginning again; your partitions are already messed up enough.

Use the stock. ops from the OnePlus 8 5G UW bootloader unlock page.
As stated before, please read the instructions thoroughly.

Thank you very much, I just used the stock.ops and then after that, I used the unlock.ops, I booted directly to TWRP, and it still says "Oneplus 8 Pro". What do you advise me to do next?

I believe the TWRP is engineered to be cross - device compatible. You can use it as normal, provided that it is working.

The only problem right now is that I'm stuck in 8 pro software, and my phone is Oneplus 8. I have no idea how this has happened, I was very tired and working so it slipped my mind to double-check. I'm not sure how to go back to Oneplus 8 software..
I want to thank you for being patient with me!

i ended up in a Qualcomm crashdump mode lol I'm so done with this device....

OnePlus 7 stuck in "Your device is corrupt it can't be trusted" after locking the boo

OnePlus 7 stuck in "Your device is corrupt it can't be trusted" after locking the boo
Help. I've made a big mistake. I can only access the Bootloader. Recovery mode is not accessible.
As with the 7 Pro, I didn't like the standard 7 and decided to return it. Thought it would be a good idea to lock the bootloader before doing so.
OnePlus support won't help me and they are telling me that I can't return the device anymore. "Repair is the only option now" even though I'm in the 30 days return window.

If thats not working because of locked bootloader, you can try the MSMTool.

Sorry to be a pain in the ass, but I can't really figure out how to get back to OxygenOS now. Everything is in Chinese...
Also, will this procedure mess with anything on my device?

I've looked through it but couldn't find anything. Sorry, I am extremely stressed out as tomorrow I am supposed to return this phone and I want to make sure that it passes inspection.
So, I did the following:
- Used the unbrick tool which lead me to HydrogenOS
- Installed the latest OxygenOS version on top of it
- Did a factory reset, and so far everything looks to be in working order.
Am I missing anything here? Are there any possible changes done to the device so that it won't pass inspection?
Sorry again for being so annoying...

So if OxygenOS works and you also did a factory reset, your device should be fine. Check bootloader status. But it should be locked.

Soft Bricked OnePlus 7

Today I was using my OnePlus 7 (OOS Beta 10, TWRP 3.3.1-70, Magisk 20.3) and I accidentally rebooted it to bootloader through the advanced reboot feature. Somehow, I know not how, this soft bricked the device. I could get to the unlocked bootloader warning screen but no further. I could also boot to TWRP and Fastboot still. I tried several different things to fix this, including disabling all Magisk Modules through TWRP, but to no avail. I also tried switching to slot A (I was previously on slot B), but I only booted to the OxygenOS logo and accompanying animation, which lasted 15 minutes or more. Impatient, I began trying several other methods (instead of making a backup :facepalm. Long story short, I ended up wiping all the partitions (including Vendor and System) and I am stuck. I followed the guide here, which allowed me to boot to the OxygenOS logo and animation again, but no full OS boot. I have also reinstalled TWRP (3.3.1-79 now) which works as well, but try as I might I cannot get anything to boot besides that. I have tried installing the images from OnePlus' website, LineageOS 17.1, AOSiP, and custom kernels, but nothing works besides their own respective boot animations which loop forever.
And so, I have come to you, the best Android modding community I know of, to help me fix my problem. I can offer you no incentive besides my eternal gratitude.
Thanks in advance,
Michael
Edit: forgot to mention I use exclusively Linux so I cannot use the MSM tools. Sorry!

Download a Fastboot ROM and extract the images.zip. CD into that directory. Get your device into fastboot and manually flash them in Linux. The instructions for doing this are in that post. I needed to do this when I first got my OP7 as I also do not use Windoze. Worked without issue.
Edit:
I just saw that you said you tried this I guess. Give the first boot time. It takes awhile.

Nope,it takes awhile, but not that long if I remember correctly. Sorry man, don't know what else to say. I've done this a couple of times. Once outta necessity and once just to test something. Worked for me both times, so IDK.

Pixel 5 Bricked

Hello all,
I did a big mistake, I wanted to go back from DP 3 to Android 11 and once I was going to do the CMD steps, I downloaded the wrong Firmware for the Pixel 5
I didnt see that mistake until I started the steps and the phone turned off and did not turn on anymore.
I know I made a big mistake, but can I do to revert this? I try to restart the phone but nothing, not via power button for 10 or 20 or 30 sec.
Please help

So you used a firmware that was older or one that was for a different device?
Is the bootloader unlocked?
What exactly did you download?
Does the phone charge?

Mine bricked about a month ago and Google suggested uBreakiFix. They tried to do a force flash on it but it didn't work. They ended up replacing the motherboard which fixed it, but now my proximity sensor is always on. I don't know if they can fix that or if it will require another motherboard.
I have same problem, but i can go to bootloader. The problem my phone is locked bootloader and i don't have recovery mode. And when i try to flash it because of locked bootloader i can't do anything. Is there any solution for unbrick locked bootloader?

how did you end up with it like that with bootloader locked? what caused it?
I have the same issue like p_a_r_s_a7 with my Pixel 5.
Only fastboot mode: can't find valid operating system
After flashing the 'right' OTA image for Android 12 DP3 the device cannot be restored anymore.
The image was successfully flashed by 'adb sideload' as recommended.
Seems that a locked bootloader is not 100% save from 'flashed to death'
600 EURO paperwight.
I had this same issue on my 4a 5g and after many hours I managed to fix it. I don't recall exactly but I went through every option of flashing stock via fastboot and android flash tool it eventually worked this was 2 months ago

Android flash tool immediately detect the locked bootloader and stopped without flashing.
I've tried to check/uncheck every option but no luck. I've used Windows 10.
Did you used the common USB driver requested by Android flash tool ?
Anything else that could be special, eg Linux environment ( what distro, version .. )
Any detail could help..

Question I bricked my OP9, any help?

Yep, I got it completely wrong. I was returning back to OOS stock from evolution X, and it was givin me an error when I tried to sideload the zip. looking around I've tried to follow the guide to flash from fastboot, https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/fastboot-rom-pc-required-op9-stock-oos-11-2-2-2aa.4275727/ , but when it comes to reboot to fast boot the phone turned off and now it stays on a black screen everything I've tried. I've tried a bunch of stuff, every key press to see something on the screen but nothing.
Am I forced to contact after sales support?
thanks to everyone

When using msm tool, select lite firehose.
If you still get something like, image not comaptible with device, you may need to use the OP9 Pro India MSM tool. Its the only one that would work for my OP9 5G North America model. I then installed OP9 stock.
Ok I’ve done it.
I’ll write the steps so that anyone with the same problem can solve it

ADB and 8T

Okay... I've been searching all over the net for this problem and I keep getting posts that skirt the issue. At least, that's what it seems. So I will begin and you can decide... and thanks for whatever info you can throw my way.
Brand new OnePlus 8T. I want to root it. Duh. So, Got the Tiny ADB and Fastboot package and all the rest, but the issue is with unlocking the bootloader. Other problems may appear later, but this is the issue now.
So, connect phone to PC (Windows 8.1) and the only way that ABD recognizes my phone is when the USB prefs are set to 'No Data Transfer". Yes, I have installed the proper drivers from the phone. So, when the 'No Data Transfer' is selected, ADB recognizes the phone and will issue the command, ABD Reboot Bootloader and the phone reboots to the bootloader. Nice! Unfortunately, it appears that once the phone has booted to the bootloader, it has changed the USB Prefs and now ADB and fastboot do not see the phone. Obviously this sucks. And here is the problem. As far as I know, I have ticked off on all the proper settings. USB Debugging, etc. No joy!
I found a post elsewhere that showed how to set the default USB mode and that didn't work either. My experience has been that ADB used to see the phone under the 'File Transfer' and PTP options before, but it doesn't now. I can't explain this.
So, pretty frustrated. This shouldn't be so bloody difficult. It's only a couple of commands and I have done this with other phones in the past so it's not like I have no previous experience. But I have already wasted way too much time here this go around. Anyone have an answer? I'll be your best friend!!
Thanks all..

I had to install drivers for both ADB and bootloader mode. I documented what I did here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...t-fastbootd-driver-guide-for-windows.4282241/

Hey Thanks, Bill. I"ll give this a whirl and see how it goes. I'll report back after. Cheers!
Ok, that appears to have solved the driver problem. I was able to finally unlock the bootloader and flash twrp. Now it is stuck in a boot loop.. fun fun!
I had been following this guide
How to Install Official TWRP Recovery on OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8T and Root it
OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8T (codename: instantnoodle/kebab) was launched in the year April and October 2020 with Android 10 and 11 respectively. Recently

to root my 8T, but it appears that this fellow was missing some info? I take it ya can't just flash twrp to recovery like usual. The picture is slowly coming together.. much more complex than the last few times I have rooted phones.
So I assume that flashing twrp writes over the stock recovery.. and that leads to this crashdump mode popping up. To fix this, I will need the stock recovery.img and flash that back into place? Feel free to chime in and thanks in advance!

Flashing TWRP doesn't cause CrashDumps. They happen when you try to boot the system and something's not right.
You could try changing slots and then rebooting. That sometimes works (depending on what else you've done). You can do this in either TWRP or bootloader.
PS: if you use the reply button, then I'll be advised that you've posted a reply. Otherwise you'll have to wait until the next time I look to see if there's new posts in a thread.

Alrighty! Changing the slots did bring the phone back and it is now booting properly. But if I try to boot into recovery, it fails and goes to crashdump. Any ideas? Bad twrp image??

Sorry, I've no idea about that. Try flashing TWRP again.

Okay, well.. I'll have to figure it out then. Thanks much, Bill. Appreciate your help. Happy Holidays!
Hi guys, to root the 8T it's by magisk_patched.img via magisk manager, not twrp (it's old school),
Root FR (sorry a'm frenche, and better explain to me.)
since Android 11 twrp is less good ...

What I like about TWRP is that I can do things without needing a PC. So rooting, back up and restore, install new ROMs, ...
And now, with version 3.6.0, TWRP works well on Android 11

Yes, that works,
but don't be surprised to have instabilities in the ROM!
I already had some,
by magisk patch it's more cleaner,
But you are a big boy.
Good luck,

Lol!
I've been using Magisk and TWRP for years, so I'm not only a "big boy" but also an "old dog".

that's not the problem to use it for years,
myself with android 10, I was using it, I was already using magisk in 2015, on my Sony z5c (with lineage 7.0.2/ base is the ROM Orange Telecom owner... )
but since Android 11, the data decryption is no longer the same.
just the 30 second twrp boot, I don't really like it, so restored a system with something like that ... lol
Magisk is the best Root solution!
I like this!
Since the magisk_patched has become root's solution, to A11.
an old dog!!
You like croquettes and the mash?
Thx,

If they could fix the interminable start up time for TWRP that would be brilliant. But I believe the problem is with a file system check rather than the actual decryption which is quite fast.
Sorry, croquettes and mash aren't in my menu. But empanadas - absolutely!
Sorry, I had to leave this for a day or so, but I am back. BillGoss, looking at the guide I posted a link to earlier, would you say that guide is acceptable or are there issues with it? Theoretically that is? And does it depend on what build you are using?
Or if you know of a better process and files, please feel free to point me at it.
Many thanks

Sorry, I have no interest in checking out non-XDA guides. We have enough (too many?) of them on XDA as it is.

There-in why I asked if you might point me at something reliable. But I guess not...
Thanks anyway..

Actually a trick you can use is in twrp if you have the magisk APK change the ext to zip and install in twrp it patches the boot img for you in right slot so you don't have to pull img from phone
