So, I'm trying to use the MSM Tool trick to oem unlock my phone from another thread, and I can't seem to keep my phone in EDL Mode. I have the Qualcomm drivers properly installed--when I get it to go into EDL mode, my device manager properly recognizes it as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008," but it only seems to want to stay in EDL mode for a few seconds, then it boots back up. I've tried doing this through adb and by holding volume + and - and plugging in the cord--both methods, same result. Anyone have any suggestions? I greatly appreciate your feedback!
EDL Mode HD1925

- Start date
I always power off my phone. Then hold both volume buttons down and plug it in. MSM tool sees my phone and hit start.
I installed twrp recovery software to go into EDL mode after that all works fine and connected
Which TWRP?? Did you load it via Fastboot and use Fastboot commands? Are you A11? Which Qualcomm drivers?
I think it's supposed to only last for a few seconds. Pull up the MSM Tool and pay attention to the "Status of Connection" field for any of the COM lines in the MSM Tool. When you connect, it should say "Connected" for one of those lines. If that happens at all, then you're good to proceed. Make sure you have TMO selected in the drop-down, click "Enum" once you plug in your device, then click Start. Try to do this quickly. Let me know if this helps.
I am having the same problem with my 7T Pro McLaren, the pc recognizes it but msm tool does not, someone has already found the way
I had the same issue. One easy fix is switching from a USB 3.0 port to USB 2.0 port. The other method that worked for me is a little more of a process.
1) Have MSM open
2) Connect phone to PC
3) Power phone off
4) Then, the moment it powers down, hold the vol +, -, & power button
5) Keep holding it. Your PC will make a sound notifying you that it's detected the phone, but you want to keep
holding the buttons until you hear it being detected for the second time.
6) Release buttons.
Hopefully that makes it stay in EDL mode for you.

I wrote on this somewhere, but you can try having the program open and placed at the right settings, then move quickly once the phone is in EDL mode. Not ideal but worked for me. Once the process begins it won't exit out of EDL mode in my experience.
