This method is actually dangerous. Do not try this unless you have a good reason to do so
This method erases IMEI. Backup EFS with official or enhanced TWRP. Do not use any other TWRP as these might not backup EFS correctly and you will lose IMEI
Only use this as a last resort if everything else fails to revive your device.
First open the download tool. I will assume you at least know how to use it in the default upgrade mode
Press the verify button. The unbrick tool will freeze for a bit. Wait until it shows something like this:
After that close the verification window. An SMT download mode option will be unlocked
Yes, red signifies danger. Don't ask
Now press start
You'll see this box
The password is te123
Warnings: type the password exactly as it is. Do not make typos
Select your exact storage size
If you do not do this correctly you'll worsen the situation
Hit ok and the download will start
When the download completes you'll see this screen:
Disconnect your phone. Now exit the program
You might see this message but if it says download complete like in the screenshot above it is safe to press yes
Your device will not auto reboot like it did in the standard download mode. You'll have to press and hold the power button to force a reboot
Boot oxygenos fully and immediately use TWRP to restore your EFS backup
If you get an NV backup warning first restore EFS and then follow the steps given here https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/nv-backup-warning.474643/
