Exactly.

Actually it may not work on all the devices thats why! @knauji @Sniper47

Very interesting! It did not work for you? Where did you buy the device?
Mine was from the oneplus.cn website and shipped with H2OS. I flashed international stock OOS from a USB drive right after taking it out of the box.

@knauji You bought from the original website I guess, thats why everything worked fine for you whereas in my case even the bootloader was already unlockeD! Bought from gearbest but its the same with other chinese resellers thats why made that video

Testers/Help needed to add OnePlus 1, 2 and 3 to Unified Android Toolkit

Hi,
Im working on adding the OnePlus 1, 2 and 3 device to the Unified Android Toolkit but need some help as I don't own any of the devices.
If anyone has a device which has not been unlocked or rooted, I need to know the error message displayed in the command prompt when the fastboot oem unlock command is run without enabling oem unlocking in developer options.
I also need a few people who could help test various procedures in the Toolkit. I am modifying the Nexus Toolkit so most things will be the same.
Any help and/or knowledge about the OnePlus devices would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mark.
Questions:
1. Can you fastboot boot on OnePlus devices (fastboot boot boot.img or fastboot boot recovery.img) or does the image need flashing first. I have looked at some root procedures for the OnePlus and they fastboot flash the imge first, then reboot to bootloader and fastboot the image. Im not sure what that is about.
2. Does the standard twrp recovery image work on the OnePlus devices? I have seen a lot of posts where twrp has failed and a different twrp recovery was recommended to fix the problem (which then worked).
3. I need links to all the builds for the OnePlus 1, 2 and 3 devices. Does anyone have these?
4. Does the Universal adb driver pack from koush (CWM) work with the OnePlus? I have found the official drivers made by OnePlus for their devices but I just want to make sure they are the best ones to use. I read that samsung drivers also work.
5. I have been told that the OnePlus devices usb mode does not revert to "charging only" like all the Nexus devices and that adb commands can be sent with the device in MTP mode (Nexus devices need to be switched to PTP to communicate). Can this be confirmed.
I think this is all I need to get a working Toolkit ready within a few days.
Mark.

1. Yes,
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
works.
2. Old firmware needs old TWRP (link) as new firmware needs new TWRP (link).
There is also hybrid recovery which supports both firmware (link) or also this thread which lets you flash right firmware with the good recovery.
3. Thread to official zip and unofficial fastboot files for the Oneplus Two. Here for the Oneplus One. Thanks to @Spannaa. I think mirrors for the Oneplus 3 are actually not available.
4. I don't know.
5. Yes, in MTP, adb commands work. But I think without USB for Marshmallow, the connectivity will go back to Charge only.
mskip is in the house ??

Last thing to do is the stock firmware flashing procedure but I think everything else is done.
Does anyone have a OnePlus 1, 2 or 3 and can test any parts of the Toolkit? Main parts to test is driver install, unlock/relock, apk and folder backup and rooting.
Firmware flash procedure should be finished by tomorrow.
Mark.
Hi Mark,

Thanks, what kind of testing can you do?
If you don't want to touch your rom then the basic functions (apk backup, booting to stock/custom recovery) but ideally if you can make a twrp backup or don't mind wiping the device then I need the bootloader unlock, flash stock firmware, rooting, etc tested. If you can do the more in depth testing I can compensate you with a pro code so you can also test the ALLINONE root procedure.
Let me know as the OnePlus 2 main code has been completed and the device modules are being built now.

Hi Mark.

Yes, I can test all this.
I did a dirty flash when the OOS3 community build was released in March. So its time for me to wipe my device and do a clean install...
I'm using your Toolkit with pro for my GNex, n8000 and Nexus5. would be great if you can provide a pro code.

UPDATE - TEST RELEASE FOR ONEPLUS DEVICE SUPPORT
I have finished all the work on the OnePlus modules for the 1, 2 and 3 devices and it is ready for testing.
You can download and test the Toolkit from the below link. Please remember that this IS a test version at the moment as I do not own any OnePlus devices but I have checked all the code thoroughly and don't see any problems. I am especially pleased with the unlock/lock routines and will probably implement the code for the Nexus modules if it works well.
Everything can be checked (and please do) except downloading a stock build directly from the Toolkit as I am waiting to hear back from AndroidFileHost to see if I can get direct links to use in the Toolkit. The fastboot flash routines are working though and the Toolkit will detect the storage of the device (16GB or 64GB) and flash the relevant userdata image so you do not have to do that manually anymore.
I have used the Universal USB driver pack from CWM so if anyone has not installed OnePlus drivers yet PLEASE test if this works. I did originally include the official drivers from OnePlus but they close the Toolkit when the drivers installation starts and thats not great.
The ALLINONE routine should work fine and I have sent out some pro codes to testers to check it all works.
All builds are covered and the correct version of TWRP will be downloaded depending on the build selected. Please check everything and let me know of any bugs or textual errors (as I used a lot of the Nexus code) so I can release it publicly as soon as possible.

Has the bootloader been unlocked before or is this the first time you want to unlock it?
Do you have adb and fastboot drivers installed?
Do you have any knowledge of using adb/fastboot commands in the command prompt?
First thing is to make sure you have the correct drivers installed: http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=1302
You can try the Toolkit to see if the bootloader will unlock or I can talk you through the procedure but its a simple command (fastboot oem unlock, or from the toolkit fastboot-toolkit oem unlock).
If it won't unlock you may need to boot to stock recovery and flash a stock image back to your device.
Mark.

Completely going stock again (except keeping the bootloader unlocked).

Hi, I have been using official CM13 for about a week now so I have the following things installed in my phone.
>CyanogenMod 13 (official)
>Cyanogen Firmware
>TWRP 3.0.2-2 F2FS (3.0.M-4)
I want to go completely stock again (temporarily until CyanogenMod has VoLTE support) but I have no idea where to start.
I would like to flash
>Stock Xiaomi Recovery
>Latest stable MIUI global.
And remove Cyanogen firmware and install stock Xiaomi MIUI firmware.
I would like to know how and where do I start.
Thank you very much!
I think MiFlash would be the best option, I think it does exactly what you're asking for (it flashes every partition including boot, radios, etc). You can can choose to erase everything, even internal storage, and make your phone as it originally came. I'm not sure it would relock the bootloader, I don't think it will.. Either way, if you unlocked officially you can always unlock again.
Only thing I'm not sure about is if you can install through fastboot or EDL only
I need to know this too
MiFlash using EDL should do the trick
do you have previous mi backup in twrp??
If you are officially unlocked bootloader, no need to enter edl mode. Miflash work from fastboot mode too.

Thanks for the tip! i really hope this works
But a couple questions. Where do i replace unlockable appboot.mbn, and where do i get this from?
Also miFlash 2016.08.30.0 doesnt have the option to replace individual files... should i use an older version?

EDL has been removed from Global 8.0.3.0 Build, be careful if you flash it. You better have unlocked BL if you do.
And i tried everything but can not gain EDL mode.
Second info, maybe it will be useful, don't flash this version now, wait for new one this has other problems also.
I just did this with my Xiaomi Mi 5S in order to flash Chinese ROM to the new Global Stable ROM. Since I did not have Unlocked bootloader I used your method, created myself a cable and it all went just like your manual said. Helped me plenty. So I confirm the guide it is great. I am even thinking of borrowing this post to post it as a Guide how to flash Chinese ROM to Global Stable which is actually an issue since, the Chinese ROM does not support flashing via Update method, so it would require unlock. OR Depp Flash If you wont mind.
error
it shows can not read from port . what to do now?
EDL method no longer works miui8.2.3
After the update miui8.2.3 the EDL method does not work anymore, now I am stuck, please if you have solutions thanks to help me my MI5s is bocked

Hi, have similar problem-ie. locked phone and still locked bootloader-would like to try the fun with deep flash cable. I got 7.5 /not 8.0.3/ by now.
Would it work afterwards? Would I have UNLOCKED bootloader afterwards? How to do this and not bricking the phone?
cheers,
Is this method outdated?
I'm trying to flash the natrium_global_images_V8.0.4.0.MBGMIDI_20161216.0000.00_6.0_global rom however I'm stuck while it says "flashing". I have waited 15 minutes but the progress is 0.

[GUIDE] Simpler Way to Get Rid of T-Mobile USA Branding

For those who only want custom roms - an easier way to convert from T-Mobile USA. You don't need to flash system/product/vendor partitions. No restoring modem to get signal, data will work on first boot after you install a custom rom.
This could be easily done on Linux and Windows too. I don't recommend flashall. Just do it manually. For this discussion, I am converting T-Mobile to Euro:
1. Get T-Mobile MSM package from HERE. Get Euro package (for converting) from HERE
2. Flash T-Mobile MSM (you can't transfer the MSM package via flash drive, as some files will be corrupted and you won't be able to start the package. Just download straight, unzip and execute the exe. file)
3. Boot, enable OEM unlock (you'll have to connect to the internet for a few minutes) and unlock bootloader (get unlock bin from Oneplus)
4. Once unlocked, boot again, connect to PC, enable Developer options, enable ADB. Open terminal and execute adb command:
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
You will get into 'fastbootd' recovery, but that's how it should be. Your fastboot commands will be accepted.
5. Now, unzip the downloaded Euro version, go to that directory, open terminal and execute manually the following commands separately (just copy and paste a single command from the code below) followed by pressing 'enter', i.e. paste the command, press enter, paste the next command, press enter. Watch the terminal to make sure that each command went through:
Code:
fastboot flash aop aop.img
fastboot flash bluetooth bluetooth.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dsp dsp.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash logo logo.img
fastboot flash modem modem.img
fastboot flash mdm_oem_stanvbk mdm_oem_stanvbk.img
fastboot flash qupfw qupfw.img
fastboot flash storsec storsec.img
fastboot flash multiimgoem multiimgoem.img
fastboot flash uefisecapp uefisecapp.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
fastboot flash opproduct opproduct.img
6. Once done, don't reboot in system. Instead, reboot into bootloader. From that, follow directions to install a custom rom. If Lineage, for example, flash their recovery first (fastboot flash recovery...), then boot into that recovery. Don't flash their 'copy partitions' files. Instead, just install the latest release via 'adb-sideload' (factory reset before or after flashing is required). Then boot into System normally. Your phone will have normal IMEI/Baseband and it will be listed as IN2013.
This is only for those who want custom roms. No stock OOS updates, which vendor is not needed any way, as all custom roms for Oneplus 8 provide their own vendor.

Short answer - Forget it, for good. Here is the long one:
Tmobile branded Oneplus 8's bootloader is tied to a key generated based on the unique numbers, which in turn, are tied to your device's unique IMEI. This is why it is a 2 step process: first, you generate a sequence of 2 long numbers on the phone. Second, you send those numbers together with your IMEI to Oneplus. Only after that, you get the token, which could only work on your phone.
This is why, at Oneplus online store, unbranded Oneplus 8 is $100 more expensive than the branded one. The latter is software crippled, and on other sites, the difference is up to $200. You get what you paid for.

That's because there is a modified MSM tool for Oneplus 7 with a removed device name check. That enables you to flash global firmware on any Oneplus 7 variant. This is not possible on Oneplus 8.

Why did you link to and suggest the Euro version of this ROM? The global version is recommended if converting from T-Mobile and should be used instead. Also creates a discrepency from the title of this thread, you did not make a guide on how to convert to global, you made a guide on how to convert to the European version.
to be fair tho shouldn't really cause issues

You are right, but as you said, there would be no difference in the outcome, except that your phone will show IN2013 instead of IN2015.

Hi and thank you so much for this guide! I'm having a problem with flashing the global rom, it tells me flashing isnt allowed for critical partitions, despite having done both the unlock (fastboot menu confirms it) and fastboot oem unlock_critical.
Has anyone seen this before?

Step 4: adb reboot fastboot
This has to be done on a live device with adb enabled, connected to PC and typed on PC terminal. As a result, you are not rebooting into fastboot, but in recovery with fastboot commands enabled.

Thanks for your reply!
Is this the difference between fastboot and fastbootd?
Despite using the command and going into fastboot I still can't seem to make it work, even selecting recovery mode in fastboot only brings me back here. I of course installed a fresh MSM version beforehand and unlocked the bootloader.
this is the screen I'm getting, is this fastboot with recovery or only fastboot?
Before reaching fastboot though it takes me to the oneplus language select screen, then gives me the option to wipe, fastboot or recovery, maybe it has something to do with this?
Thanks again for your time.

Wrong action. You'll never be able to flash critical partitions from fastboot, i.e., the screen in your picture. After executing the adb command in step 4, your phone will enter recovery (not fastboot) and you must stay there. Nowhere my instructions say reboot to fastboot. So, stay in recovery and execute all further commands from your PC.
Edit: Yes, that's the difference between fastboot (your screen shot) and fastbootd, which is Recovery with fastboot commands support.

Ooh! I see I misunderstood that, it works just fine from the recovery screen!
I tried flashing the entire global rom because I don't want a custom rom but I just got a qualcomm crashdump mode . Currently using MSM to fix that. Is it even possible to use the global rom with the Tmobile model? Otherwise I'll just use Lineage.

Just flash in Fastboot mode as usual!
Hi! I'm not very up-to-speed. I just restored my phone to TMO android 11, I was running PixelExperience and I have run the EU rom, what post should I look to for "flash...as usual". I'm not sure what the normal process is. Thanks!

I don't really understand your question but these files are for OnePlus 8T+ 5G Stock OOS12 C41 only, so if u r on A11, then these files are no use for u bro.

It says "just flash in fastboot as usual". I don't know what "as usual" means. I wasn't looking for info on using them with my phone, just what I need to look at for the flashing procedures as I have seen several different methods and requirements,.

Ah, what I mean by "flash in fastboot as usual" is : just flash those files in fastboot mode with fastboot commands which is used to flash boot.img recovery.img.....etc. In this case, are "
+ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
+ fastboot flash boot boot.img
or you may input option like :
+ fastboot --slot-all flash boot boot.img ( to flash boot.img into both boot slot A/B )
Just that, my friend!

So by using those fastboot commands you'll be able to root the KB2007 if you are running 12 as long as your bootloader is unlocked as well as SIM unlocked? That's my current situation right now and was looking go root sometime soon

True, if you are on OOS12 C41 ( TMO ) to be specific, then u can use the magisk patched boot image from my post to root your device using normal fastboot commands as mentioned!

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to clear that up for me, and actually type the commands. I was originally flashing Roms to get access to my 5G radio, as I'm using it on Verizon towers, but after applying the latest update my phone connected to 5G so I may not even need it anymore

There's a guide to enable 5G and/or VoLTE for KB2007 also in our forum. But since u did it, congrats
I just got this device yesterday. Already sim unlocked and requested the bootloader unlock code. Since it's only day one, I haven't flashed the euro firmware/rom yet. Is it worth upgrading it to 12 and then simply rooting it. I don't mind running stock for a while, but I hear 12 is really that bad. Obviously it can't be too bad if you are using it. I am just hesitant on installing the update. What are your thoughts?
works beautifully

not bad so far just more security . disabled pinch out hidden menu.. had to create code and use dialer to access hidden menu. i fastbooted this and now rooted have not tried recovery yet im afraid actually
So I converted mine to the EU version and then to the global version and updated to 12 via OTA. However I could not find the file prior to flashing so I couldn't pull it to the PC. Obviously I lose root on that full update. Can I flash this boot image to restore root or will that brick the device?
For those that want the latest C42 update with September security, find attached the stock boot image as well as the magisk patched image
Hey. Thanks for all your work. I'm rooted on stock kb2007. My OTA update to 41 is not working. Would flashing these before asking the system to update fix it, or are these for after you unroot and allow the update. I think the unroot is where I'm having trouble. I uninstalled Magsik and wiped cache for google play. The OTA still won't work. I'm sure there is every note on XDA about this, but I thought I'd ask here because I think I'm so close.

The real question is where can obtain the original firmware for C42? Haven't been able to find it anywhere online

There is no 100% confirmation that C42 was released as a full update and not incremental on C41.
If I'm already on Android 12, C41 unrooted than I don't need to do any other flashing except the magisk patched boot image from the post to root my device using normal fastboot?
What is the purpose of the modded stock recovery?

The main reason is enabled adb access.
Having ADB enabled on the stock recovery can be really helpful if you are unlocked and rooted.
For example, removing problematic magisk modules.
Though there is unofficial TWRP for A12 which makes stock adb enabled a bit obsolete in this case.
But anyway thanks for LinhBT for compiling it.
