DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This is literally the ONLY thing that restored my phone. I almost threw is away and said forget it, but gave one more attempt using this method and it WORKED! Thanks again!
oh my gosh finally! found a video that actually explains how to do it! and you sir are amazing :) thanks for the help stuck on a bricked oneplus 7 pro tried everything so far
I have no idea if this will work but this was what DuckDuckGo said: forum.xda-developers.com/t/op8t-oos-kb05aa-ba-da-unbrick-tool-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4180837/
Hey man!! So I bought a used 7t. The sim was already unlocked and not sure it the previous owner ever unlocked the bootloader before. I do know when I click the OEM unlock in dev settings it asked for my pin which is my lock screen pin and it allows and says to reboot the phone if I uncheck it. I have not yet tried to unlock it yet in cmd ADB. I'm wondering because I have not seen anyone else get the pin pop up on unlocking the boot first time so I wonder if that means I won't need to ask for a Unlock Bin key and just enter the bootloader in fastboot and unlock it with the regular command!?
I've been away from rooting phones for a while & got the Tmobile 7T. It took me days to root it & still haven't been able to install TWRP. I did convert it to the global version. This guide helped me big time. I'm wanting to install LineageOS 18.1 with microG. I'm going to hold up to see if you have any problems.
Since you converted to global firmware the second point shouldn't affect you. Problems found: 1) TWRP cannot decrypt Android 11 yet - Lineage 18.1 is based on A11 so they are not compatible 2) With Lineage 18.1 on the T-Mobile variant (HD1907) - if you flash without the SIM inserted, or remove the SIM for any reason, you will get an unresolvable "SIM not found" error
@@NicholasHenkey Thanks, I'll hold up on jumping to 11. I regret getting the T-Mobile variant (HD1907). I'm trying to get away from Google & Microsoft. Been running Linux on my PC for years & only use Winblows for gaming.
I converted my one plus 7t to international. Global dual sim. All has been great. But in the event I need to unbrick I have heard system has to be unmodified. So does this mean if have to use a restore firmware for TMobile firmware? Also my phone's bootloader is unlocked still and greyed out "Already unlocked" but the toggle is off. Hahah. I used the patch MSM tool to bypass token. All is fine now. I am asking for fire reference if I decide to flash twrp or etc. Thanks
Oneplus 7T EU model 1903....Camera no longer works when flashing hotdogb_14_E.21_201105 via msm download tool. camera works 100% when i re flash android 12 though. Is there a more recent build ...I need 10.00.16 or higher for EU phone BA partitions please??
Did you try both MSM tools? In the US you should only have T-Mobile and North America international firmware available. Assuming you tried both, what is the specific error so I can look it up?
@@NicholasHenkey after a lot of attempts I finally found the firmware compatible with my One Plus 7t McLaren edition and it finally worked! Good as new; your vid really helped out cheers!
Hey, just saw this comment. I don't know, in your shoes I'd definitely start there I was going to try to firmware swap but the SHA code showed file tampering. The XDA poster didn't respond why that was. MSM restore might address any issues from that potential security hole
It should as long as your bootloader unlocks. I think all the OnePlus 7Ts (base model) are the same hardware 7T McLaren users are the only ones out of luck, I think. HD1925 IRCC
Unfortunately, CDMA networks are exclusive to Verizon so there is no global community to support the firmware It's a long wavelength (good for rural regions) which isn't very useful for international urban environments and requires custom hardware
Please let me know what you mean when you say not to do this method with a custom rom like lineage or aosp unless you are willing to lose your device? Do you mean lose the data, or do you mean it will be bricked?
There is a small chance your device will be permanently bricked. I've never succeeded at doing that (although I sold one that seemed permanently bricked and was not)
if you don't press "start" button in MSM app the EDL mode is going to timeout (this was mentioned in video, but somehow I've missed it, so assuming it's same case here)
hi there! so i have tried getting in to edl mode by holding the volume buttons for roughly 10 seconds and the continuing to hold them while plugging in the cable, but it just keeps on going into fastboot mode even though i didnt press or touch the power button at all. is this a computer issue? driver issue? phone issue? what do you think the problem is?
When I had the problem I barely grazed the power button and that was enough to cause a Fastboot load. Maybe your power button has a short circuit? That's my only guess
i'm a little confused, at the start you said we can't use this tool if a custom rom is installed but your video shows you restoring your device from lineage, can you clarify what you mean?
It's a standard disclaimer. When you do actions with custom ROMs or restoration tools, it is possible to permanently brick your phone. It's rare, but it does happen
hi, my OnePlus 7t phone, settings part system reset is not working. resets in recovery mode. how can we solve it. can this be solved with msm tool? I reverted to 11 from android 12 beta.
Personally, I would use the msm tool in your case. It will take your device back to Android 10 The recovery screens and ADB can be difficult to work with. Commands are often different from device to device
@@Muttaki2534 there may be but it's going to take hours of research when you could just reset the phone and upgrade back to A11 with 30-45 minutes of effort
Hey, so I bought the 7t Pro McLaren edition unlocked through amazon, but the driver is not "available" when I tried to update. I'm stuck on fastboot will this work for me? Its a new device all I did was unbox and power on
You'll need to find the right drivers and MSM tool, but otherwise very likely this will work Most OnePlus run a similar Qualcomm chipset If Windows can't find your chipset it might be published somewhere else
It's very strange that windows update cannot find your drivers. In your position, I'd check if the following works because Mauronofrio has an excellent reputation on XDA forums: forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-op7tpm-tool-all-in-one-drivers-unlock-twrp-factory-image-stock-recovery.4103513/ The link goes here - toolaio.tk/ The web page leads to Android File host here - androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117912759 You can follow the trail of links and validate the MD5 checksum to ensure that what you are downloading is correct. The tool appears to have a driver installer in it.
@@NicholasHenkey Update: I downloaded both MSM tools was able to install the google provided driver and another driver. However when I was able to get the device to connect MSM tool said image not matched and now the driver is unrecognizable

Hey, so I'm having an issue with this. Everything works up until the param preload. The param preload starts successfully, but nothing happens. The second counter is at 300, but all it's saying is param preload. What could be my issue here?
@@NicholasHenkey I played around with custom recoveries and different ROM's. On more than one occasion, I had wiped out entire partitions. I was able to partially fix it a couple times, but now nothing is working and I'm at my wit's end. I was originally using the OnePlus recovery tool, the one with the "flash-all.bat" script that basically did everything. But that stopped working, I kept getting a command saying "failed. remote: partition not found" I believe it was when it got to vbmeta. Anyway, I decided to try this tool you're using. After some tinkering with drivers, I got this tool to recognize my phone. But I'm having an issue with the param preload. But it's different than the usual issue with param preload. It's not the one where is quits at 6 seconds saying "param preload failed". Instead, the param preload is successful, but then nothing happens afterwards. The "time elapsed" counter will go on and on. 400 seconds pass, and it's still doing nothing. I'm not sure what's going on, if I can get this tool to work, or my phone is just a lost cause.
@@ddg2256 ah man, these are errors I've never encountered before. There's something wrong that is far beyond my skill-set. Those partitions are really deep in the Android 10+ architecture
Yes, most likely your phone was switched to internal firmware at some point. From experience, custom ROMs do not work correctly with stock TMobile firmware
@@NicholasHenkey I did convert it to the Global firmware strangely enough the Global firmware never boots up, but flashing a custom rom on top of it works fine with the sim and wifi working too
@@dorianalarcon6266 I believe the tool may be included if it was a zip file that you downloaded. This was the case for my 7t pro, I extracted the zip file and msm downloader was there. Though, keep in mind I may have downloaded a different file
when i tried volume up and volume down,it's never work,hmm im so tired to fix my phone back to normal,I've tried almost everything that doesn't work out.msm doesnt detect my phone and i tried to update qualcomm driver it's never work.i don't know how to fix this thing
@@xzuinofficial6750 okay, that's something I could search for. This article gives possible search suggestions: www.droidwin.com/fix-sahara-communication-failed-error-msm-download-tool/ Unfortunately I'm unable to replicate your problem since all of these seem highly specific
MSM bypasses the bootloader This is video is not about custom ROMs, it is about a restore tool. There were two OnePlus 7T models sold in the US: T-Mobile and Global. Neither have locked bootloaders and I have a video on how to switch between the firmware versions The "OnePlus 7T Mclaren" is a totally different phone with different components. It has a locked bootloader and this video will not work for it due to the fact that it has completely different firmware
@@NicholasHenkey I'm facing the same issue. Everything was fine but when the phone rebooting it got stuck at the logo and turned off automatically. when I checked fastboot menu, it shows device state as locked. is there something in particular that I need to do?
Well, that's frustrating. Looks like the software has an expiration date. This article says you have to temporarily change your system clock www.droidwin.com/fix-smt-config-not-found-in-msm-download-tool/
@@NicholasHenkey It worked! Thank You! I was able to get my OnePlus 7T working again. I've only had it 3 months, hopefully it doesn't mess up again. I took it to four repair shops yesterday. Three wouldn't work on it and the last one said they couldn't fix it. lol I actually gave up until I read your reply. I couldn't have done it without your help.

@Nicholas Henkey thanks for the quick reply.im just facing a problem with my phone. It's an oneplus 7t.. I flashed the arrowos 12 on it yesterday and didn't like it so I'm trying too flash it back to stock OS and lock the bootlloader. I tried the other method with the flash all.bat and it runs half way then says partition failed and the flashboot never boots back up. I tried installing the adb drivers and qualicomm drivers. Would I need an os 12 flash boot rom to bring everything to stock?
@@ns5337 Oh man, I don't think there's a V12 stock ROM out. MSM tool back to A10 should be your best bet because I think OnePlus discontinued stock ROM releases with their recent A11 release Some people in the comments had issues with MSM tool expiring which requires modifying windows' system date. Not sure if that's one version or all of them
HEY. I am worried. I have been trying for days now its not working. Phone gets detected but when its starting the status goes from connected to N/A and eventually it fails. It says sahara communication failed. I tried everything and followed every instruction even for sahara error. no help.
I've never come across this, myself. Someone else did but the comment may have been removed by UA-cam or the user for unknown reasons. The most comprehensive guide I could find was here but it sounds like you may have found it, already: www.droidwin.com/fix-sahara-communication-failed-error-msm-download-tool/
Unfortunately, the steps for MSM tool are different for various OnePlus devices. You will need a different MSM tool and the key commands here may not be sufficient

@@anguriasuccosa3491 I would definitely try MSM tool if I was in your position. It took me a couple hours to figure out for this phone but well worth it
If your phone is OEM unlocked already (you would have done this) that is expected. If your phone is new, you might have an unlockable phone which usually means Verizon. These types are stuck
@@ALIAli-lt3jw it's weird that your phone won't let you unlock. Mine is technically the "T-Mobile" version also but it was specifically flagged as "unlocked" at B&H photo They might have OEM locked some of them. B&H had a "T-Mobile" version also

Sorry for the late response, life got in the way of the channel. I found this on Reddit "Try to get in fastboot mode with all 3 buttons held, I did that on my 8t and it works you have to hold them down for 10 seconds". Apparently it worked on an 8T
If your phone isn't showing up on the list, I'd try a different cable first. Verifying that the drivers are installed properly through Windows Update is step 2
Try a different USB cable since it's an inexpensive test. I've also had issues with a Pixel 3 that had a damaged USB C port that also drove me up a wall to figure out
Anyone know anything about why the msm tool would crash after the login portion? Running Windows 10 and the msm tool keeps crashing right after I press 'Next' on the login. Analyzed the dump file and getting an 0xc06d007e error code (unknown software exception). Uninstalled my antivirus in case it was an antivirus overreach but that doesn't seem to be helping. Redownloading the tool in case something was somehow corrupted along the way but if anyone knows anything about why this might be happening, it'd be extremely helpful. I didn't even brick my phone messing around with the software, I was just installing the newest android update, and I feel like I keep getting roadblocks everywhere I go :( Thank you again so much for this video!!! It's been extremely helpful so far and I really really appreciate it.
Okay so it seems like this is an issue specifically with the Android 11 version of the msm tool, the Android 10 version is working just fine! :) In case anyone has this issue in the future.
Lol now my phone won't enter EDL mode. I'm holding the vol- and vol+, and definitely not pressing the power button, while plugging in the USB-C cable and it always goes into fastboot mode *siiiiiiiigh*
Alright, just seems that msm tool isn't detecting my phone on EDL mode and that probably has to do with the qualcomm drivers but for some reason, windows won't let me install the drivers and they're not appearing under Windows Update when I plug in my phone :(
Got it recognized by msm tool by holding down just the vol + button without holding down the vol - so if anyone is having the same issue where your phone isn't being recognized, try inserting the ucb-c while holding down the vol + button I guess lol
@@alexmelendezrolon872 thanks for walking everyone through your troubleshooting steps.

I feel ya trying to load LOS, it's the worst feeling when you spend a long time to flash a device only to find that some things critical like the SIM card do not work right.
Hey, sorry for such a late reply. It looks like you also asked for help on XDA forums. I found an article with troubleshooting steps here: www.droidwin.com/fix-stuck-in-param-preload-error-msm-download-tool/ Do you know which model it is? HD1907 or HD1905 are the two most common, if you use the wrong MSM tool it could cause issues.
@@NicholasHenkey It was bought unlocked direct from the Oneplus store but then ATT customer support went into the phone while trying to fix something and I think they locked it right before it crashed.
@gislainefernandes responded to your XDA comment (UA-cam comments have been giving me issues lately). There are a few things you can check but it looks like ATT has been a problem with the OP7T for a lot of people. Things you can try: 1) Install drivers 2) Change to factory cable 3) Different USB port 4) Different Windows computer? I also posted a link to a thread over there. Someone completely removed their Qualcomm drivers and reinstalled fresh. It was the only thread I could find where someone solved your error

@@NicholasHenkey I played around with custom recoveries and different ROM's. On more than one occasion, I had wiped out entire partitions. I was able to partially fix it a couple times, but now nothing is working and I'm at my wit's end. I was originally using the OnePlus recovery tool, the one with the "flash-all.bat" script that basically did everything. But that stopped working, I kept getting a command saying "failed. remote: partition not found" I believe it was when it got to vbmeta.
Anyway, I decided to try this tool you're using. After some tinkering with drivers, I got this tool to recognize my phone. But I'm having an issue with the param preload. But it's different than the usual issue with param preload. It's not the one where is quits at 6 seconds saying "param preload failed". Instead, the param preload is successful, but then nothing happens afterwards. The "time elapsed" counter will go on and on. 400 seconds pass, and it's still doing nothing. I'm not sure what's going on, if I can get this tool to work, or my phone is just a lost cause.
@@ddg2256 ah man, these are errors I've never encountered before. There's something wrong that is far beyond my skill-set. Those partitions are really deep in the Android 10+ architecture
does this still apply if I have a unlocked Tmobile 7t? by unlocked i mean sim unlocked and bootloader unlocked and it's running a custom rom
Yes, most likely your phone was switched to internal firmware at some point. From experience, custom ROMs do not work correctly with stock TMobile firmware
@@NicholasHenkey I did convert it to the Global firmware strangely enough the Global firmware never boots up, but flashing a custom rom on top of it works fine with the sim and wifi working too
Where can I download the necessary tools sinceramente XDA does not let me to download?
Try clicking on the "Click to Show Content" button on XDA. It should direct you to an external site
@@NicholasHenkey the bad rings is that it does not send me to any Other external page a solutions or that in can pass me the direct download links?
@@dorianalarcon6266 I believe the tool may be included if it was a zip file that you downloaded. This was the case for my 7t pro, I extracted the zip file and msm downloader was there. Though, keep in mind I may have downloaded a different file
Thanks a lot bro !! saved the day for me . Precise guide on how to get it done !!!
when i tried volume up and volume down,it's never work,hmm im so tired to fix my phone back to normal,I've tried almost everything that doesn't work out.msm doesnt detect my phone and i tried to update qualcomm driver it's never work.i don't know how to fix this thing
Did you install the driver via Windows 10 or via web download?
Alternatively, a new USB cable may help
@@NicholasHenkey yes bro I literally have try everything
@@NicholasHenkey ok bro right now i have issues msm sahara failed
@@xzuinofficial6750 okay, that's something I could search for. This article gives possible search suggestions:

Unfortunately I'm unable to replicate your problem since all of these seem highly specific
What can you do if the bootloader status is locked? Because the phone in fact is bricked so I can’t change it in development options
This is *supposed* to work even with locked bootloaders. With phones that have locked bootloaders you cannot use custom ROMs
Your comment contradicts itself. Which is it? Can I use it with a locked bootloader or not?
MSM bypasses the bootloader
This is video is not about custom ROMs, it is about a restore tool. There were two OnePlus 7T models sold in the US: T-Mobile and Global. Neither have locked bootloaders and I have a video on how to switch between the firmware versions
The "OnePlus 7T Mclaren" is a totally different phone with different components. It has a locked bootloader and this video will not work for it due to the fact that it has completely different firmware
@@NicholasHenkey I'm facing the same issue. Everything was fine but when the phone rebooting it got stuck at the logo and turned off automatically. when I checked fastboot menu, it shows device state as locked. is there something in particular that I need to do?
Everytime I press start on the msm tool it says “SMT config not found”
Well, that's frustrating. Looks like the software has an expiration date. This article says you have to temporarily change your system clock

@@NicholasHenkey It worked! Thank You! I was able to get my OnePlus 7T working again. I've only had it 3 months, hopefully it doesn't mess up again. I took it to four repair shops yesterday. Three wouldn't work on it and the last one said they couldn't fix it. lol I actually gave up until I read your reply. I couldn't have done it without your help.
@@dannylay7965 glad you're back up and running!
the link in your description for the International OP7T (Unlocked) doesn't work.

@Nicholas Henkey thanks for the quick reply.im just facing a problem with my phone. It's an oneplus 7t.. I flashed the arrowos 12 on it yesterday and didn't like it so I'm trying too flash it back to stock OS and lock the bootlloader. I tried the other method with the flash all.bat and it runs half way then says partition failed and the flashboot never boots back up. I tried installing the adb drivers and qualicomm drivers. Would I need an os 12 flash boot rom to bring everything to stock?
@@ns5337 Oh man, I don't think there's a V12 stock ROM out. MSM tool back to A10 should be your best bet because I think OnePlus discontinued stock ROM releases with their recent A11 release
Some people in the comments had issues with MSM tool expiring which requires modifying windows' system date. Not sure if that's one version or all of them
What of i have the boot block activated?
If you are saying that your bootloader is locked, EDL mode overrides that phone function. This process will wipe your phone, though
HEY. I am worried. I have been trying for days now its not working. Phone gets detected but when its starting the status goes from connected to N/A and eventually it fails. It says sahara communication failed. I tried everything and followed every instruction even for sahara error. no help.
I've never come across this, myself. Someone else did but the comment may have been removed by UA-cam or the user for unknown reasons.
The most comprehensive guide I could find was here but it sounds like you may have found it, already:
www.droidwin.com/fix-sahara-communication-failed-error-msm-download-tool/
i had the same issue , keep it connected then just hard reset until u hear the sound from windows
I can connect my op6 with the program but i always get sahara failed..
Unfortunately, the steps for MSM tool are different for various OnePlus devices. You will need a different MSM tool and the key commands here may not be sufficient
@@NicholasHenkey my Phone it is apparently death, no led or other. But the pc recognice it and msm tool too, maybe i could reboot the Phone on or it is usless to try?
@@anguriasuccosa3491 I would definitely try MSM tool if I was in your position. It took me a couple hours to figure out for this phone but well worth it
@@NicholasHenkey ok man thank you! 😁
Hi man how are you ?
My OEM unlock option is greyed out is there anyway to enable it please help
If your phone is OEM unlocked already (you would have done this) that is expected.
If your phone is new, you might have an unlockable phone which usually means Verizon. These types are stuck
@@NicholasHenkey i have an OnePlus 7T T-Mobile version and i want to unlock the bootloader to instal a custom rom
@@ALIAli-lt3jw it's weird that your phone won't let you unlock. Mine is technically the "T-Mobile" version also but it was specifically flagged as "unlocked" at B&H photo
They might have OEM locked some of them. B&H had a "T-Mobile" version also
sir my oneplus 7t wifi sim and camera not working after flash please help

I reallllly need your help the msm tool always show N/A under the status of connection section no matter what i do i try to flash the rom from another pc i change the cable i even download the rom file again and still the same 😢
Did you install the Qualcomm driver from the Windows Update section?

There's a button that should say "Click to show content". Yes, you restore to Android 10 then you should be able to upgrade back to A11

will this work on oneplus 6?
It should, as long as you download the correct MSM tool version

is msm tool included in the zip on xda?
Yes, XDA has the download links
ive done this but i get the android screen and then the phone cuts off
EDIT: now its stuck with the message: Download Failed!!! Please check your download flow is right.
do u find any solution ?
@@mateuszmiadowicz1703 the phone now is stuck in safeboot. No matter what i do, it stays in safeboot
Sorry for the late response, life got in the way of the channel. I found this on Reddit "Try to get in fastboot mode with all 3 buttons held, I did that on my 8t and it works you have to hold them down for 10 seconds". Apparently it worked on an 8T
Hamm, it is not show any drive update
If your phone isn't showing up on the list, I'd try a different cable first. Verifying that the drivers are installed properly through Windows Update is step 2
7t pro work?
It should but you'll need the correct MSM tool for your phone
Thanks buddy, your video gives me hope❤
Thank you
what if my pc does not recognize the phone
Try a different USB cable since it's an inexpensive test. I've also had issues with a Pixel 3 that had a damaged USB C port that also drove me up a wall to figure out
@@NicholasHenkey does it work if I try to use the global version on a t mobile variant?
@@johananleon6366 It *might* but I've never tried that. To change my phone to Global I flashed the firmware the old fashioned way

Which MSM did you download? Also, did your drivers come from Microsoft update or an exe file you downloaded?
thank you bro you saved my phone !

thanks man u are a life saver !!
Glad this helped you!
Anyone know anything about why the msm tool would crash after the login portion? Running Windows 10 and the msm tool keeps crashing right after I press 'Next' on the login. Analyzed the dump file and getting an 0xc06d007e error code (unknown software exception). Uninstalled my antivirus in case it was an antivirus overreach but that doesn't seem to be helping. Redownloading the tool in case something was somehow corrupted along the way but if anyone knows anything about why this might be happening, it'd be extremely helpful. I didn't even brick my phone messing around with the software, I was just installing the newest android update, and I feel like I keep getting roadblocks everywhere I go :( Thank you again so much for this video!!! It's been extremely helpful so far and I really really appreciate it.
Okay so it seems like this is an issue specifically with the Android 11 version of the msm tool, the Android 10 version is working just fine! :) In case anyone has this issue in the future.
Lol now my phone won't enter EDL mode. I'm holding the vol- and vol+, and definitely not pressing the power button, while plugging in the USB-C cable and it always goes into fastboot mode *siiiiiiiigh*
Alright, just seems that msm tool isn't detecting my phone on EDL mode and that probably has to do with the qualcomm drivers but for some reason, windows won't let me install the drivers and they're not appearing under Windows Update when I plug in my phone :(
Got it recognized by msm tool by holding down just the vol + button without holding down the vol - so if anyone is having the same issue where your phone isn't being recognized, try inserting the ucb-c while holding down the vol + button I guess lol
@@alexmelendezrolon872 thanks for walking everyone through your troubleshooting steps. Sometimes regional firmware changes the volume controls so that is helpful information
Unfortunately, Android 10 looks like the last supported version of MSM because Oppo did not want to continue supporting users after buying OnePlus
Great content!

Hey, sorry for such a late reply. It looks like you also asked for help on XDA forums. I found an article with troubleshooting steps here:
www.droidwin.com/fix-stuck-in-param-preload-error-msm-download-tool/
Do you know which model it is? HD1907 or HD1905 are the two most common, if you use the wrong MSM tool it could cause issues.
@@NicholasHenkey It was bought unlocked direct from the Oneplus store but then ATT customer support went into the phone while trying to fix something and I think they locked it right before it crashed.
@gislainefernandes responded to your XDA comment (UA-cam comments have been giving me issues lately). There are a few things you can check but it looks like ATT has been a problem with the OP7T for a lot of people. Things you can try:
1) Install drivers
2) Change to factory cable
3) Different USB port
4) Different Windows computer?
I also posted a link to a thread over there. Someone completely removed their Qualcomm drivers and reinstalled fresh. It was the only thread I could find where someone solved your error
thank you so much
