[TOOL] 6T MsmDownloadTool v4.0.59 (OOS v9.0.13)

[Yashnair25]

So here's the complete story, my phone is rooted since i wanted to use some PUBG hacks, and while gaming it just got into reboot then went to crash dump mode.

I followed the steps given in the thread and it MSM tool shows that flashing was successful but then again it starts to flash again and again and the cycle goes on but my OP6t doesn't boot up.
Anyone faced this scenario before?

 

[Agrezion]

Will this work with OOS 10.3.6?
If not I'm assuming I'll have to downgrade
Would anyone have a link/tut for that?

My observations from my journey (Fastboot only, Bootloader Locked):
1) made sure my Windows computer was in test mode (powershell... bcdedit... find the instructions on how to do this). SUCCESS!
2) Phone kept going into Fastboot mode whenever plugged in -> found a thread that mentioned forcing it off by holding Power + BOTH Volume buttons (10 seconds). SUCCESS!
3) got Qualcomm drivers to recognize phone when plugged into PC = allowed my device to be seen from MSM tool (along the way, downloaded and used both OP drivers in 1st post - maybe it helped, maybe not). SUCCESS!
3) In the MSM tool, I would get the "sahara communication failed". Unplug phone and plug in, MSM starts again, but gets another "sahara" message. Repeat dozens of times, to no avail. FAIL!
4) Was using the OOS 9.0.13 file and MSM tool, but read a thread that suggested using an older set, so I switched to using the OOS 9.0.5 file and MSM tool. Get another "sahara" message FAIL!
5) Followed some suggestions to hold volume up and power button (not sure why). Phone goes into Fastboot mode, and the phone would only register as Android Bootloader Interface when Fastboot was on. Could not upload any other driver for it to work. FAIL!

So: The phone is in Fastboot mode, is still plugged into the computer; the MSM tool from the 9.0.5 tool is still open, still set on "Sahara" error message from before; I have loaded both Qualcomm drivers the OP has listed in post #1, yet the phone still reads as "Android Bootloader Interface" and not Qualcomm when in Fastboot mode. FAIL! FAIL! FAIL!

6) Turned off phone by holding down Power + BOTH Volume buttons (because anything else forces the phone back into Fastboot mode because it is plugged in!) and suddenly the MSM tool starts downloading the appropriate files to fix my phone. SWEET SUCCESS!!!!!!

This post is mainly to help myself in the future should another brick happen, but to help others as well learn from my mistakes. I read a lot of posts and started inching closer and closer to my ultimate goal of full stock restoration - thank you to all at the XDA community and Youtube as well. But this post is also to illustrate that not everyone's situation is the same, and it can be incredibly frustrating when your situation does not fit the bill.

Thanks to everyone, and good luck with yours!

YES YES YES !!! I did it... I had the same issue and solved it thanks to you <3

I am a noob trying to unlock the bootloader of the oneplus 6T (renewed Tmobile) I have just bought from Amazon. After got the unlock tocken(.bin) file from Oneplus support, I did the command:

./fastboot flash cust-unlock ../unlock_code.bin
Sending 'cust-unlock' (0 KB) OKAY [ 0.005s]
Writing 'cust-unlock' ^C

^C^C^C^C^C^C

So the fastboot program is hung when writing to the bootloader flash flash I guess. After powering down the phone, I can't power it up anymore.

Can someone please shoot me a procedure to recover from this ... really appreciate your help for a new member on this!!!

update:

As a courtesy, I am hrer to update with a resolved status so that others can be aware of:
1) Google online for a more intuitive introduction and step by step guide on how to use MSM tool to update bootloader(s). There are multiple stages of bootloading and each has one bootloader.
2) It is not hard to get the MSM tool to see the device connected. But it is common that the tool can't update the device bootloaders/images, with the error "Sahah protocol ... " type of message. THe reason I guess is the following.
3) It is very hard to be sure if your device is in EDL mode just right for the MSM tool to talk to. I don't know what stage the device has to be in for the MSM to work correctly. It is very hard to even know what stage the device is in. SO VERY SADLY, it is a try and error and retry game. Many suggested things to try but I found the most useful one is the volume up and down button pressed together and then with power button, ALL THREE pressed for some seconds after the device is powered down. But you don't even know how long it takes to power down the device .... etc. So try the all three button procedure as many as you, with luck you will be able to see that the MSM tool will start to update.
4) I am brandnew noob in the android world. There are so much to learn about this giant world of android-ing. There are so many terms (technical/no-tech), versions of kernel/OS/Apps/Framework/devices/vendors/ROMs/etc. Instructions online are very helpful, but some of them are obsolete (be careful). Some of them are not detailed enough and some of them are just an experience of one try and some of them ..... it is not as straight forward as you imagined (as always in the software/hardware world).
5) I still am not sure what caused the failure of my first try to unlock the 6T. I guess it is due to the fact that I did it on Linux and it hasn't got an update driver. Eventually I did the unlock on Windows 10.

I am trying to get back to t-mobile rom from international rom. when I connect the device, it shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4) when I run the MSMDownloadtool , it just sits

waiting for the device. If I disconnect from the computer I cannot power it on. It shows up in the device manager now without pressing both the volume buttons. what's wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Happy to inform you that I was able to finish the conversion. I had to hold both volume buttons and power button for more than 10 seconds. It powered up. I shut it down and tried it again, this time it worked fine.

Any Ideas why the program would give me an error of "param preload" "Device not match image". I checked the drivers and they are correct. I am a op6t on android 10 10.3.5. I also run the program as administrator.

Any help would be appreciated. I purchased this phone to try e.foundation and I didn't realize it was the T-mobile version when I purchased it.

I am on windows 10 also.

What does device manager recognize your device as?? Be sure youre clicking on and running the patched tool if you are converting. This thread has all the info needed and the new search on xda is imo MUCH better than the old one was.

The driver says QUALCOMM ..... On that download I did not find anything saying patch tool. I did get the program to work but unfortunately it did not switch me from t-mobile to int version. I am assuming it was just a unbrick program.

To get it to work I updated the phone from 10.3.5 to 10.3.7 and got fajitat_34_O.01_201124.ops to work.
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=297704

Is there a patch / int version of this?

I have not been able to find any other files that would work for what I am trying to go.

Well, with tears nearly running down my face I came across this thread and this MAGIC POST!
In particular item 6) which WORKED!!. I had a phone which would not boot, only go between Fastboot and Nothing, not even Recovery. I am a Linux user, and have used LineageOS for many years; even adb would not talk to the flipping phone.
I managed to find a Windoze computer and item 6) "the last resort" worked.
I am VERY Grateful.
Cheers to all in the same boat.

Hi all,
trying to recover my op6t a6013 dual sim, tried several different msmdownload tool versions. I get stuck at 4seconds with 'Recording download time' or other times 'Images do not match with the phone!.' Tried disabling digital signature verification and reinstalled qualcomm driver. Does anyone know if am I missing something obvious?
Cheers

A T-Mobile version of msmdownload ending up working for me.

谁能告诉我在刷入以上版本进行sim卡解锁后，是否还能更新来官方的最新系统
Who can tell me if I can update the official latest system after swiping the above version to unlock SIM card

Op8 Unlock Bootloader Flash International - theory



I think what he meant was, is there a patched flasher tool MsmDownloadTool V4.0_patched.exe like on this device that ignores your T-mobile sim-unlock and bootloader unlock status made yet for the Op8 from T-mobile. To be used with flashing the international edition (which just allows fastboot oem unlock with no codes). The current version of MsmDownloadTool.exe V4.0 is 5.1.32.0 and the factory version won't work on TMO.

yes that is what he meant. I want that too. Cant find a way to unlock my bootloader as ive only had my 8t for a week
