MSM Tool and EDL Mode - OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers

Hi!
I'm using a custom rom (Cherish OS) and it's working pretty fine.
However, i want to turn back to the stock Oxygen OS, so I've tried to use the MSM Tool, but i have a problem.
Whenever i do "adb reboot edl", the phone actually boots in EDL, my PC in device Manager recognize the port (I've also installed the Driver), but when i press "Enum" nothing happen, the EDL MODE is not recognized only by the software. (No Device ID, and N/A on connection)
I've tried so many times but nothing seems to change, does anyone know how I should proceed?

OnePlus 7 Pro not detected by PC at all (only in EDL/MSM mode)

Hello All,
First some context:
I had recently flashed Havoc OS A10 using the installation instructions in that thread after coming from MSM Extended ROM A10, but found that none of my sensors were working and Warp Charge wasn't warp charging at full power. So I flashed persist.img for the OnePlus 7 Pro in hopes of resolving that issue, but that didn't work. So instead I decided to flash stock OOS 10.3.3. I flashed it to Slot A but could not do the same to Slot B. I don't remember what happened after that (I for sure didn't flash anything that was incompatible with my phone), but I ended up being able to use the MSMTool for OP7Pro to go back to Android 9 and losing TWRP in the process.
Now the issue:
Although I have booted normally into Android 9, my phone is not being picked up by my PC regardless if it is in normal mode or Fastboot mode. Nothing shows up in Device Manager, it doesn't even refresh or make a sound as it should when it detects a new device, even after enabling USB Debugging and cycling through the different USB Configurations within the Settings app. I've tried reinstalling drivers through the TOOL ALL IN ONE, but my phone is only detected in Device Manager as a Qualcomm device when I put it in EDL/MSM mode. I've also tried connecting it to two other PCs using 4 different USB cables to no avail.
My goal is to at least get it to be recognized by my PC when it is in Fastboot mode because I think I can recover it fully after fastbooting to TWRP or installing a Fastboot ROM. Has anyone experienced this issue before and were able to resolve it? I really hope I didn't super brick the phone as I just got it last week. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I was able to update it to OOS 10.3.4 using WiFi OTA, but the issue of no sensors and not being detected by the PC still persists. If it's useful at all I've added what I see in fastboot mode down below.
Edit 2: I'm able to use USB OTG to connect to a flash drive. It's so weird that it won't establish a connection with my PC...

This is a very strange issue but have you downloaded and installed the official USB drivers for this phone?

Gave the port a good couple of blasts with compressed air, but still no luck. What's weird is that it gets picked up by my computer perfectly fine while in EDL mode. Thank you for the suggestion.

I have to wait for something in the usb to time out, then it will load. Often more than a minute.
Im having a similar issue, it seems like Win 10 is having issues with the drivers or something cuz I can see my phone on the PC but cant access the storage at all.
It's working now!
Apologies for the silence, but I was able to miraculously get the phone to finally show up in ADB and Fastboot. I'm not exactly sure what triggered the fix or the order of things I did to get it to show up, but I did multiple flashes of Android 9 through the MSMTool and reinstallations of the OnePlus Drivers and ADB drivers in different orders until it eventually showed up on my computer. I flashed latest OOS 10 after that, successfully unlocked the phone, installed TWRP, flashed persist.img (for OP7Pro) to be safe, and installed Havoc OS A10. Sensors and Warp Charging are back and working as they should be. Thank you all for the replies.

PC doesn't recognizes phone, tried many drivers

DOUBLE EDIT: I don't exactly know how but I got it to work! Windows doesn't recognizes it but msm does. I installed OnePlus_USB_Drivers_Setup.exe and something called QDLoader HS-USB Driver_64bit_Setup.exe and started the msm thing and I just went with it. First got an error it says to try again after reboot and it did! I'm sooo happy!
So what I did was this:
enabled oem unlock
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot boot twrp.img
wiped everything and format everything
advanced sideload
adb sideload resurrectionremix.zip
restart to recovery > copy magisk > flash that with "install"
Then I found out RR has gapps build in, which I don't want. So I once again followed the above steps but with lineageos instead of RR and then I booted to "Qualcomm crashdump". I can still go in recovery and fastboot but windows doesn't see any devices with fastboot/adb devices. It also doesn't show up in device manager anymore.
I installed the oneplus drivers and qualcomm drivers to no avail. I tried the msms download tool but I only see the COM3 show up with nothing after it and also when oneplus is not connected.
I looked around on the internet but couldn't find anyone else where the computer didn't recognize a phone in EDL (for the msm download tool). When I first enter it does show up for a bit and then it's gone, nevertheless it never shows up in the sms download tool. Also, windows does make a sound when I plug it in, it's just not showing anywhere
Does anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: I made it worse. I booted to safe mode, then followed this guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/tool-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-international-t3798892) and while it was busy I stopped the download and then force quitted it. Now when I plug it in it also doesn't recognize it anymore in test mode
Suggestion: Download a Linux iso and make a bootable usb or disc and install it on your PC dual boot. I can't stand windows! Only reason I have it on my laptop now is because many devs only make important tools that are widows compatible. You'll never have these problems on Linux. Try Linux Ubuntu 18.04 or Mint. Super easy to use and TONS of help online if you ever want to figure out how to do something. Linux>windows
Driver issue is what most people have issues with on windows. You won't have to worry about that on Linux. Just a suggestion.

Formatted my tablet except the bootloader using SP Flash Tool. Now it won’t recognize my device. What can I do?

I have an Alcatel Onetouch Pixi 3 (10) Wifi 8079 tablet with an MT8127. I tried flashing a twrp recovery following Kirito’s guide but I had a glitching screen in a bootloop instead, so I tried flashing another twrp providedby the same user (was named twrp-new) and instead of the glitchy screen this time I’d see the twrp logo and then it would auto reboot after giving several unable to mount data errors. I was not able to do anything in twrp.
I then formatted the whole device except the bootloader. I realize that I should now be flashing a ROM (I have all the required stock ROM files including the scatter file) but SP Flash Tool won’t recognize my device (on three different OSes: Win7, Win8.1, a Linux distro). I also tried out Mobile Upgrade S but it too won’t see my device.
The device’s battery is soldered with three wires to the motherboard, so I can’t easily plug it out. Why do you think that my laptop won’t detect the device? Could it be that the tablet is running all the time (so it’s not off) and the battery lasts long because the device isn’t performing any operations?
As for drivers, when I used SP Flash Tool to flash the new twrp, I didn’t install any drivers myself on Windows 7. Now that it didn’t recognize my device, I installed all kinds of drivers on both Win 7 and 8.1 like MediaTek VCOM USB and Preloader drivers but I stll couldn’t get it to work. I get no feedback from my device no matter what I do (power button, volume up and down buttons).
Do not say that it is hard bricked because all I did was formatting the device except the bootloader.

Oneplus 8T stuck in Qualcomm CrashDump mode

After trying to restore stock OOS and rebooting fastboot my phone is now stuck in Qualcomm Crashdump mode. I have MSMDownloadTool installed but it won't open, it just opens a windows saying "Program has been started" after executing it.
I also can't reboot to the bootloader, the phone just turns on or off.
What to do?
From my rather long post in https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...your-device-to-oxygenos.4180837/post-86563159 :
"connect the phone to the PC whilst it's still in CrashDump mode and then press Pwr + Vol Up until the phone buzzes and then hold Vol Up + Vol Dn and MSM will then connect."
Thank you, that worked. I have another question if you don't mind:
I tried to restore OxygenOS with https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...xygenos-fastboot-roms-for-oneplus-8t.4348023/ but it cant find the create-logical device and delete-logical-device commands, also when I try to flash some of the image files fastboot complains about not being able to flash system critical files. I tried running fastboot flashing unlock_critical but that didn't change anything. Is there any other way to restore Oxygen OS with fastboot or is there any fix to my issues? I've been looking on the web for a few hours now, to no result.

The delete/create logical commands are in the thread OP, but you have to tap on "click to show" button.
Note that fastbootd is not the same as fastboot. And you need to be in that mode to avoid the "critical" warning and to be able to do the logical partitions stuff.
So, after massively failing to update my 8T I am stuck in a bootloop with a bit of Crash dump [dm-verity device corrupted force dump].
I am still able to access fastboot but that is it. I can't get adb working, when I attempt to enter recovery mode all I get is a black screen, MSM is not able to find my phone/I can't get my phone to enter EDL (been trying for about 5 hours now).
I feel so defeated by this can anyone help me?
Did you read my post (#2)?
Does your PC make a sound when you connect your phone to it in EDL mode? If so, try reinstalling the Qualcomm driver (though I've never needed to do that).
If you can get into bootloader, then you can try using the method in https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-unbrick-or-restore-to-oos-using-only-fastboot.4289013/

Whenever I connect my phone to the pc it just auto-boots. In my devices the driver does show up. But I don't think I have been able to access EDL.
I did reinstall the driver as well, no change. I tried installing the drivers and MSM stuff on a 2nd pc, still unable to get it going.
I did come across this method and my phone/fastboot keeps erroring whenever I try to use cmd for anything beyond Reboot fast boot. It's weird.

I see that your PC sees the phone (Qualcomm...) but has an ! against it. If you open that you should see the option to update the driver.
PS: you may need to flash boot, DTBO, and recovery in fastboot first before you can use fastbootd to flash the other partitions for the fastboot method.

Ok I take back what I said! That link with the CMDs worked!
I really don't know what I did differently, probably skipped a step or something, but I was able to reset my phone!
Still unsure what is going on with the drivers but the crisis has been averted!
Thank you BillGoss! You are incredibly helpful!

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

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
