some1 should make a guide on how do we get updates to the tool?
can we update the tool on our own?
if its possible and with steps i would like to contribute to updating it.
HI hugo.mtx, You saved my day. I was getting "Sahara communication failed" error no matter what. I tried several other suggestions mentioned elsewhere. I was trying to setup adb and i installed Oneplus driver also in the process. Magic, no more Sahara. I think One plus driver did the trick.Hello, just sharing my experience
I had problems with the sahara connection failed error, kept rebooting the phone again and again but it still didn't work
SO here's what you should do
Make sure the qualcomm drivers are installed, AND the oneplus drivers too (very important !)
here's a link where there is an installer for the oneplus 6t drivers
https://oneplus.gadgethacks.com/how-to/unbrick-your-oneplus-6t-when-all-else-fails-0191272/
Then, unplug your phone and switch to fastboot mode (power+ volume up + volume down)
navigate with volume keys and select power off
then press vol up and vol down for about 5-10sec and plug your phone into the computer
then start the MSM process and everything should work !
For me it was a pb of drivers, I didn't have the oneplus drivers installed !
Hope that'll help you !
How can I update from 9.0.16 to 9.0.17? I have reflashed a T-Moble phone with a locked bootloader to the Global 9.0.16 OS Rom. Thanks
This tool comes directly from Oneplus, so the OP can't update it by himself. He'd need to get it again from Oneplus. Honestly, is it that hard to flash OTA zip after upgrade? Oneplus users are lucky to even have this tool, unlike other manufacturers who leave you hard bricked.
TMO
I did a dump of every partition, except data, the second I unlocked my bootloader.

1428:d=5 hl=2 l= 42 prim: PRINTABLESTRING :General Use Test Key (for testing 13 only)
U mean not to flash otas and critical?? Full rom imgs have proven to work..my only concern is if critical is updated by OnePlus in the future and they make it mandatory to have a certain version of critical in order to boot new firmware. In which case then tmo users are stuck till tmo itself issues updates.
