How do I install Net-Hunter on a OnePlus 8 Pro using OxygenOS/Andriod 13? The install documentation Net-Hunter images state it uses Android version twelve. Does that mean I must roll back my devices before attempting to flash them? I am very new to rooting devices, so any help is appreciated. I'm using Linux instead of Windows as a daily driver, so the documentation hasnt been so helpful, but here is where I am so far; correct me if I've made a mistake. (I've assumed I had to rollback the Android version but If I do not plz, let me know)
  • I've unlocked the boot-loader
  • I've downloaded the OnePlus 8 Pro android 11 firmware onto my laptop(I am not sure if links are allowed here, but ill post in the comments if someone wants to verify its the right one)
  • I've dumped the payload.bin from the firmware, extracting it into .img files
  • I then connected my OnePlus 8 Pro to my Linux system and I ran the following commands:

fastboot reboot fastboot fastboot flash abl abl.img fastboot flash aop aop.img fastboot flash boot boot.img fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img fastboot flash modem modem.img fastboot flash qupfw qupfw.img fastboot flash storsec storsec.img fastboot flash system system.img fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img fastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

The last command gave me the following error: Fix FAILED (remote: 'Not enough space to resize partition')

Like an idiot, I restarted the phone and bricked it, so now it looks like ill have to open a Windows VM with MSMDownloadTool (if anyone knows a Linux alternative, that would be swell)

TLDR:
  • Do I need to roll back to Android 12 to install Net-Hunter?=
  • If not, does anyone know of a Linux-friendly method?
  • If so, what mistake did I make to get that error?
  • Is there a Linux equivalent to MSMDownloadTool?

When I run lsusb the phone shows up as: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 05c6:900e Qualcomm, Inc. QUSB_BULK_SN:B8FAE271.

Research indicates this means the phone is recognized as a Qualcomm device in EDL (Emergency Download) mode. Aparently this mode is used for low-level flashing and unbricking the device using tools like the MSMDownloadTool. But im on Linux....

Reasearch indicates on Linux I can use a tool called qdl to flash Qualcomm devices in EDL (Emergency Download) mode. qdl is a command-line tool that works with Qualcomm Firehose programmers.

However I need the appropriate firmware files for my OnePlus 8 Pro device, which MUST include a programmer (.mbn) file, a rawprogram.xml file, and a set of partition images.

OnePlus 8 Pro
Any luck? . I get monitor mode without injections on internal, it is not recognizing external nics like the tl-wn721n , not getting Bluetooth recognized either. i am on android 12 stock, rooted and flahsed nethunter.zip with magisk . The OP 8 Seems to be very hard to get NHup and running, too bad NetHunter would pair nicely with IR cam

Install a virtual machine with Windows, download msm tool and device drivers in it and you can unbrick on linux
