Sorry for lack of details, but I'm not sure it will help anyway. Feeling pretty bad right now.
T-Mobile Oneplus 7 Pro. 256GB version.
I wanted to go to stock OxygenOS after buying the branded version two weeks ago.
I successfully got T-Mobile to unlock my SIM, and got OnePlus to send me unlock code for my bootloader after a week.
Successfully unlocked via fastboot. Tried several times to flash TWRP and no success using fastboot.
Tried MSM-Downloader from guacamole_21_O.07_190512_repack and successfully held volume both buttons to connect to the PC. MSM-Downloader said it was successfully connected.
I cannot find the exact error message I got from MSM-Downloader, but it said it didn't match plus another error message. At that point, my heart sank.
USB Device Not Recognized keeps popping up on windows again and again, while the connect sound plays. Doesn't matter if I hold down the volume buttons or not.
Can't get into qualcomm EDL mode. My guess is I hosed my boot and now it restarts endlessly when connected to anything at all.
Is this the end of my journey? I did tons of research on the best phone and the best deals available to save money, but looks like I played myself here with lack of caution.
I would suggest following this guide to attempt reflashing of the international firmware (use the androidfilehost download).
If that also fails, you could always just reflash the TMO firmware with this guide.

I cannot get into EDL. Regardless of what buttons I press (I am holding both volume buttons down in excess of 5 seconds) when connecting USB to the phone, Windows makes the "connect" sound endlessly and the driver isn't recognized.
If I can get into EDL, I will definitely try the above.
Do you have the proper drivers installed to use EDL mode?
Also, if you go into the Device Manager, do you see the phone in there? Should pop up as something like "Qualcomm HS-USB 9008" or some variant of that.

Ok. I may be making progress thanks to your help but do have some hurdles I can see.
I do see the device when I hook it up to another computer. It shows up as Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed).
When I go to device manager to manually update the driver, and browse to the location I extracted the CAB file into, I see lots of devices to choose from, but the Qualcomm driver cab file list does not show "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" as an option. I see many Qualcomm USB Composite Devices in the list but none I have chosen seem to work (install fails).
Hmm. I know it may be an obvious question, but just to be sure, you're using the cable that came with the device correct?

Yes, that is correct. Same cable i used to get into fastboot, etc... The original PC I caused the problems with recognized the device differently (showed up as a Qualcomm device) when I got into EDL with it before.
Edit: First event when plugging it into this second PC under device properties:
Device USB\VID_0000&PID_0002\5&3c8d678&0&2 was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match.

I just did some googling and found this article. Perhaps you can try the drivers in this guide? They are .exe files so they should be easy to install, but I'm not sure if the other drivers I provided have any OnePlus specific stuff in it, but it's worth a shot.

I've already tried the .zip version with no success. I am loath to install an .exe file (don't want to make the problem worse by infecting my PC) but may as well. I will restart and report back. Thank you again for your attention.
If this doesn't bear fruit, I may be SOL, correct?

Mmm. The link I gave seems to have been blocked by XDA when I tried to access it from my post. Never had a problem myself with that site, but who knows.
You should be able to ultimately recover the phone though. Perhaps asking in one of the unbrick threads? OnePlus phones are theoretically unbrickable because we have good access to our EDL mode.

OK! I found on reddit that if you hold your vol up + down + power for 30 seconds, it will boot back into fastboot, which it did! Holy **** I'm so happy. Haven't even seen if the PC recognizes it but will check now. If it does, I just need to not screw up the conversion to international.
Thank you for your "unbrickable" comment. That gave me hope to not give up.

I just wanted to share a tip. After you load the msmtool and before you connect your phone with the cable, click the start button, the message will read "waiting for device". Then, as soon as you plug in the cable while holding the p-up and p-down, the msmtool will automatically start. No more rushing to hit the start button before EDL mode times out.

That's pretty cool. Makes the whole process much less stressful.
Got it up and running with international version. Now to see if I can get LOS installed. My sincere thanks to all and apologies for crapping up the board with my panic. I thought I had really screwed up, but it appears it was just stuck in EDL mode and needed a hard (HARD) reset.
Hey man, thanks for the donation. Glad you were able to get your phone up and running!
Holy Sh*t man. I know 5 bucks ain't much but I wanted to thank you so much. I thought I was fukd
Hey guys
I'll just let you know first up, this is the second time I've had this issue with this particular phone being hard-bricked, but this time I can't seem to fix it.
It doesn't turn on, can't be hard-reset, can't go to recovery/fastboot, only EDL mode via test points. Last time (April 2019) it also happened overnight, but I was able to restore it to proper function by EDL flashing it using QFIL and a modified programmer (prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.mbn). The rom I flashed back then was the most recent at the time, Redmi Note 6 Pro Global V10.3.2.0.
This time was a bit different in that I was actually able to hard-reset it at first (it vibrated and seemed to boot), but it then got stuck on the mi-logo during startup. I wasn't able to get it into recovery, but the fastboot screen came on ok. However, the phone didn't register on the pc and I wasn't able to actually send any fastboot commands to the phone, nor flash roms. I don't think fastboot was actually working which might be pointing to chip issues... Unfortunately...
After a few attempts at hard-resetting and failing recovery, I think the battery actually ran flat. Now it is dead-dead. Doesn't react at all, doesn't do anything, just like back in April last year. When I plug it in to my pc it delays for about 10 seconds and then shows up as if it's in EDL mode (Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008) but it's not really flashable - it doesn't react to QFIL correctly.
I then pulled the phone apart, shorted the EDL points and got it into 9008 mode immediately after plugging in the usb cable, no 10 sec delay doing it this way. However, when trying to flash the phone now it fails and reports a generic 'Firehose FHLoader error'... Please see log attached in this google drive link: drive.google[dot]com/file/d/1nj_0f95qLnLHqIgTEODmilY9ObmAkowz/view
Apologies for the link - I don't have 10 posts yet...
The most recent miui rom for the phone now is "tulip_global_images_V11.0.4.0.PEKMIXM_20200514.0000.00_9.0_global" and that's the one I primarily tried flashing. I also tried the one I had success with last year (fearing though it might re-brick due to the roll-back protection) but that didn't work either, same error. I also tried flashing using different USB cables, all high quality, but the error remains. I also tried it using a laptop, just to rule out windows issues. I've also tried the tips for resolving QFIL errors mentioned on the hovatek forum: forum.hovatek[dot]com/thread-30141.html but with no luck there either.
Have you guys got any ideas how I might proceed? Any tips I could try?
I am kind of resigned to this perhaps being a hardware issue, perhaps this particular chip has failed and that is why not even EDL mode is working properly. But I just wanted to ask the community if you had any ideas. If not, then it's not an expensive phone. However, I would love fixing it if I could, my wife loves it...
I suggest to first short the pins then open the flash tool and try to flash the factory rom. The programmer file will be inside the extracted rom directory, select that and proceed. If it does not work try installing Qualcomm driver and retry .

I'm sorry for re-opening an old thread, but I'm in a really similar situation.
My Redmi self-bricked, and I don't have any ideas since I have already tried a flash in ELD mode but the Flash Tool says that it's not able to receive the hello packet from the phone.
Have you been able to solve the issue in some ways?
Ps. Here's my post, in case you need further informations
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.
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)!
Thread '[Solved!] MSM Download Tool Issues - Sahara Communication failed, phone exits EDL' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...communication-failed-phone-exits-edl.4245913/
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.

Hello,first thing i noticed is that msm tool finished with around 200 sec.i think that's not normal.I often use msm tool and every time finishes around over 300 sec.I see you have correct Qualcomm drivers.i'm not an expert but you must investigate a little bit more.good luck

Drivers are correct and I was flashing it with USB 3.0 port .
I would try older stock ROMs first. O+7pro have plenty of them regarding EDL/MSM mode.
Another thing are checksums. Try to check if your download was successfull by counting them from your side and by comparing what you have with provided download. It should match 1:1.

I have the old stock ROM which I flashed it in EDL but phone didn't boot when it is completed phone reboot too but not in normal mode in EDL again
Most often people have bad experience with qualcomm drivers. So make sure that you have some released after 2020 year, as oneplus 7 pro was released in 2020 year. Another issue is related to usb 3.x, better avoid that and try USB 2.0 instead, most of people have best results with older interface of that kind. EDL is kind of old solution, so better to stay away with USB 3.x and use USB 2.0.
Have you got any idea your flash is successful in edl tool? Have you got clean results or warnings/errors?
To be honest with you, I have to use EDL too, because I did wrong upgrade. I used custom ROM instead of stock ROM. Now I have not access to fastboot nor adb via USB either.
try different EDL ROMs, I found 2 threads. one is here, second there. As almost nobody anserws our questions, I will let you know what I did if I do it successfully.
Well, I discovered that I'm in pretty bad situation. In my case not only adb and fastboot does not works. It appears that EDL does not work either. Why? because I connected another oneplus phone over USB to PC and EDL mode was detected spot on. In case my o+7pro, well still same error as previously with adb/fastboot over USB. Something messed with USB on my phone at software side.
So I have to get motherboard get cheap. I do not thik that I can desolder flash or eMMC and revert that so easy.
Sorry Man, can not help you any
further. Turns out my issue is signifigantly other than yours.
