[GUIDE] OnePlus 8 5G ..TMobile..(IN2017) bootloader unlock instant - OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Disclaimer
While I will assist with any issues resulting from this guide, I disclaim all responsibility and cannot be held accountable for any consequences caused by the use or misuse of this tool or process. This method also will wipe your phone, so please back up your data. I also will disclaim any understanding as to why exactly this works, since this method was developed by someone else, I am just listing the instructions on how to use it. With that being said, understand your personal limits and read this entire guide before starting.
Thanks to the attributed users at the end of this post, to find this method we are waiting for years...
METHOD 1:
Part 1: Requirements:
• To follow this guide you will need
A Windows PC
• Latest MsmDownloadTool for Oneplus IN2017 - Link
• Latest version of platform-tools - Link
• The bootloader unlock.ops file - Link
Plug your phone into your PC using a USB 2.0 port (this is important, USB 3.0 has given me a lot of issues and just doesn’t seem to work all the time) and ensure USB debugging is enabled.
Extract the downloaded platform-tools zip and open the platform-tools folder in a command prompt, and Run adb devices and makes sure your device appears in the list.
Next, extract the instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001.zip and open up the MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe inside the instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001 folder.
When the application opens, select “Others” under the User type dropdown and hit next. Leave this window and the platform-tools command prompt open.
Part II: Entering Qualcomm EDL mode and installing correct QDLoader Driver
Part III: Flash Stock Firmware
In this section, we will flash the stock IN2017 Android 10 firmware.
Click the “Start” button in Msmtool. This will flash the stock firmware, wiping your data. Make sure you have backed your data up at this point. It will take a few minutes, usually ~300 seconds. Once it completes, it will reboot into factory default android 10.
Close MsmDownloadertool and once you are back to android, unplug your phone and power it off.
Part IV: Unlock the bootloader
In this section, we will flash the unlockable firmware and unlock the device for good.
1. Inside the directory with MsmDownloaderTool V4.0.exe, there should be a file called “instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001.ops”. Remove it from the directory, either by deleting it or moving it to another folder. Then take the unlock.ops file downloaded earlier, and drag it into the directory and rename it to instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001.ops . It should be in the same folder as MsmDownloaderTool.
2. Reopen MsmDownloaderTool V4.0.exe and like before, select “Others” in the drop down, and click next. Leave the window open.
3. Hold in the Volume up and down buttons, then plug your phone back in. Keep holding the buttons until your phone connects to your PC as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008", like before. Check device manager to ensure that it’s connected correctly as a COM port. If it boots to android, power it off and try again.
4. Return to MsmDownloaderTool. Make sure the phone is still displayed in the list under the associated COM Port.
5. Click start. The flashing should take about 15 seconds, and when complete, your phone should restart. It will display a message at boot saying “<!> The device is corrupt..” Do not panic, this is normal.
6. Unplug your phone and hold Volume Up, Volume Down and Power until the device reboots and let go once it shows the OnePlus Logo and “Fastboot Mode”. You should arrive at a screen that has “Start” in big green letters at the top, and “Fastboot mode” below it, with the very last item saying “Device state - Locked” in red text.
Plug your phone back into your computer.
7. Return to your command prompt window open in platform-tools, and run fastboot devices and ensure your device is in the list.
8. Finally, run the command "fastboot flashing unlock", it should prompt you to confirm unlocking the bootloader. Once complete, it should reboot into Android.
9. Shut the phone off again, and then Hold Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power and let go when the OnePlus logo and “Fastboot mode” shows up on screen. If the final item in the list says “Device State - Unlocked”, Congrats! You have successfully unlocked your bootloader. You can follow your custom OS’s installation guide from here.
If you want to flash back to stock firmware again (relock bootloader), you have to first flash this file (stock.ops) and then flash the bundled stock firmware. It will give a mismatch error if you do not.

So this is essentially the same as the IN2019 guide, just with the IN2017? Sounds neat.

yes. it works after I check allow oem unlocking before flashing the unlock.ops.
and dual sim works on oxygen 11, confirmed using my op 8 pro sim tray.
I see to prevent breaking the dual sim functionality, I have to use custom rom with magisk dual sim patch. But I see the custom roms are now based on oos 12. Can I flash oos 12 first and then to custom rom? will it break dual sim function?

May'13 - Unlock Bootloader, Flash Recovery, Install ROM on Atrix 4G AT&T 4.5.141

The best feature of Android - It's open. You can modify Android to have the best performance from your phone. My previous Atrix's hardware had some problem. So I didn't root my/unlock my Atrix. However, after seeing the upcoming CM10 for my set &; a battery friendly ROM yet 100% stable ROM, I finally decided to flash a custom ROM. What's great? I'm successful.
Yesterday, I was determined to unlock my bootloader & flash MROM on it. But I was afraid if I do anything wrong, my phone will not boot. I've not any other phone other than this & it's very precious to me. It's my beloved Atrix. I was unrooted, unlocked. Meant - I didn't do any modification at all. If you're on AT&T 4.5.141 (OTA Upgraded) then this tutorial is for you. (Bell/International users close your tab now!)
I'll not be responsible if you do any harm to your device
(You know the drill )
How to Unlock Motorola Atrix Bootloader (4.5.141) AT&T
I'm a noob. So I was searching for a perfect & easy tutorial. The automatic bootloader unlock seems really confusing to me. So I decided to do it manually. It's more easy &; clear than the automatic version.
I'll be writing this tutorial only for AT&T Atrix running 4.5.141 - Android 2.3.6 version. This tutorial will also work for AT&T 4.5.91 version.
But don't try this on AT&T 4.5.145/Bell/other international version. Once you flash CM7, don't flash Motorola's ROM with SBF. It'll brick the phone..
(Means your phone is dead!)

We'll be flashing a custom ROM directly after unlocking the bootloader. So please download a custom rom &; it's Google Apps to your internal memory/SD Card. The main purpose of unlocking bootloader is to flash roms. So I don't care whether Motorola's buggy, laggy, sluggish, default blur ROM works or not.
Pre Requirements
We'll be needing a couple of tools.
We need the drivers for Atrix 4G. Download &; install it from here*(31.60 MB)
We'll need fastboot to unlock. Download fastboot from here (4.73 MB)
We'll need RSDLite. Download RSDLite 5.3.1 (4.33 MB)
Only for AT&T Atrix running 4.5.91/4.5.141 -*We'll need the 1.1 MB Unlocker Only SBF for AT&T Atrix. This tool will make ready your smartphone to unlock via fastboot command.
How to Unlock Bootloader Now?
If you've rooted already, take a backup of your apps with Titanium Backup. If not, then you're gonna loose all your apps.
Unlocking Atrix 4G Bootloader 4.5.141 Step-by-step
First of all, install RSDLite & extract the file*4547-fix-try2.sbf on your desktop.
Extract fastboot to C://fastboot.
Open RSDLite.
Power off your phone. Press power button+volume down together. You'll see a text "fastboot". Then start pressing the volume down again &; and again until you see "RSD". Once it comes, press volume up button. It'll say "Starting RSD Protocol"
You'll see that RSDLite has detected your phone in the menu. (SE Olympus or something like that)
Now Click the "..." button in RSDLite &; navigate the*4547-fix-try2.sbf file from your desktop.
Click Start.
Wait 5/6 minutes It'll restart your phone. You'll maybe see a boot error. (Just ignore it. Cause we're gonna flash a new ROM anyway).
After waiting some minutes, it'll say it's saying "starting fastboot protocol"
We're half done. We've extracted our fastboot files in C://fastboot
Open Command Prompt with Admin Privilege
Code:
Type "cd.."
Code:
Type "cd.."
Code:
Type "cd fastboot"
Type "
Code:
fastboot devices
".You'll see if your devices gets recognized or not.
Now type "
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
it'll give you a unique ID to unlock your phone.
Type "
Code:
fastboot oem unlock "XXXXXXXXXXXX (Unique ID)"
BAAAAMMM!!! WE'RE UNLOCKEDDD BABY!!!!
Flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery
(I've downloaded the latest recovery from romracer from here & placed it into the fastboot folder already)
Reboot your phone into fastboot mode again. (If power button doesn't do it, do a battery pull. To get into fastboot, Press power button+volume *down together until you see fastboot &; then press volume up)We're in the command prompt still.
So write*
fastboot erase recovery
Then write
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
YAY!!! BOOM! We've flashed unlocked the bootloader & flashed recovery!
To flash a rom now, go to recovery mode (Press power button+volume *down together until you see*fastboot*&; then keep pressing volume down &; until you see "Android Recovery". Once you see it, press volume up.
The ROM flashing guide is easy. Choose install zip from SD card &; select your rom package &; it'll be installed. Reboot to enjoy your first custom ROM

If you have root, you might be able to use adb and the internal reboot command to reboot into various modes (recovery, fastboot...).

***Tip*** I was not able to get any methods to work with a Windows 7 64bit OS with correct drivers. Loaded up a old laptop with 32bit Vista and the Automatic Bootloader Unlock and Root worked perfect.
It seemed to be a issues with RSD Lite? When I would get to that stage RSD would open up but never connected to device. I guess we have to wait a few more years for 64bit to be mainstream?
Some of you are wondering why I am wasting time on this older phone but, I like to by older tech that was once "Top tier" at a bargain price.
Running MROM-Olympus right now and it's pretty nice so far.
Thanks a ton to the DEVs of this program!

there is a set of drivers that are for win 7 64 bit that i found early this morning via the droid x forum. I'm not at home right now, but i will post the link here when i do get home. hopefully it helps with issues with this os setup
Edit
File uploaded. even thought it says droid, it should still work
Works for 4.5.141 ?
Hi! Does this method work for Atrix 4G AT&T 4.5.145 as well? I want to get bootloader unlocked of my phone and install any ROM which supports 2-way Call Recording. Kindly suggest a stable ROM also that supports call recording function.
I am bit confused as the thread title says for 4.5.141 only.
Thanks in advance!!! :good:
Hi! No idea. You should see what changes between releases.l and if they can affect the process.
Stable.. it depends on how do you define stable. Roms where everithing works are the ones based on motorola"s stock gb rom.
Without webtop, cm7 (i prefer official unmodified cm7)

Mi 5s (X unlocking bootloader X) and root

Hi guys,
It turned out this script can't really unlock the bootloader. Although I didn't see it, my phone must have come with an unlocked bootloader.
I did another test on the same script but for Redmi 4X and the result was the same - can't unlock the bootloader.
So the moderators can delete this topic as it now serves no purpose. There are other topics for flashing TWRP and rooting the phone.
I am sorry for misleading you guys...
Here's how to install TWRP and SuperSu.
I'm not responsible if you brick your phone or lose data. I did a test on mine and all worked fine.
Info found here - (https://www.gizdev.com/root-xiaomi-mi-5s-unlock-bootloader/).
What you need:
1. Mi Flash Tool - Link(or just the ADB driver - Link)
2. Flasher ToolKit for Mi 5s - Link.
3. USB Debugging enabled in Developer Options
Install the Mi Flash Tool or the ADB drivers. Windows might tell you the drivers cannot be verified. Click on Yes to continue with the installation.
Unzip the Flasher ToolKit files to a folder on your computer.
Start with FLASHER TOOLKIT Capricorn.bat.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Hit Enter and this is what you'll see:
First you need to unlock the bootloader, so click on 3. Bootloader Utility. - This only really checks if the bootloader is locked or not. Nothing else.
The program will inform that hitting Enter will restart the phone in Bootloader mode.
Once there the unlocking will begin and you'll see this:
Now the phone will restart.
Once it boots up Android, you can continue with the next step - installing TWRP. Now it's a good time to transfer the SuperSu zip file to your phone. In Downloads for example.
Select the first option - Flash ZCX-TWRP 3.0.2.X for Mi 5s.
The image will be transferred and the phone will be restarted in Recovery mode. It might take a while to load TWRP for the first time, be patient.
Now that you're in TWRP, click on Install, select the SuperSU zip file. Once flashed, go back to Reboot, System.
If something fails:
-The ADB drivers didn't work for me so I installed Mi Flash and unplugged/plugged the phone in the USB.
Check in Device Manager if the ADB drivers are loaded for your Mi 5s. If you don't see anything saying ADB, unplug the phone and plug it back in the USB. Or try another USB port. Or try uninstalling the current drivers and reconnect the phone again.
-If you've closed the Flasher ToolKit and you try to start it again, but nothing happens, open Task Manager and kill/end task the adb.exe *32 process.
- If your phone restarts in Recovery, but all you see is the TWRP logo for minutes, give it about 10 minutes. If nothing changes, restart the phone by pressing and holding the power button. Have you unlocked the bootloader first?
It might have been a good idea to take a camera and shoot every step of the process, but I was testing it to confirm it's working. Hence most of the screenshots are from the web.
Anyway, that's what I can think of right now. If I'm missing something or you can't get it to work, let me know.
yes do it plz
Yes, it's a great ideea. Do it pls.
it will be a good start to have a guide here, you should give all the ways you know, including the first step to unlock by contacting xiaomi, however if you find a guide for a certain section you can link to it (or copy it and add a link so it won't be broken) .
It would also be nice to have a guide for major roms, with some optional steps that not all are aware of, like switching to f2fp
Should be ready now. The good thing is that you don't need to contact Xiaomi to unlock the bootloader.
ok so i did everything you told me
but i fail
first i press the 3 and everything was ok my device is unlocked no problem and its restart automatic
next i go to fast boot... and when i press 1 its show me twrp is install
but after that noting happens ... i press vol up and power its go to mi recovery

Did you see the TWRP logo when the recovery was supposedly installed? Repeat again the TWRP installation and let's see what will happen.

I'd say the recovery image is not getting transferred to your phone. Do you see a confirmation that the img file was sent over? It usually states how much time it took to transfer over.

ok i did it problem was the adb i install naked adb driver its on know...ok so how i install custom rom? its like my other phones but something new in mounting it seed read only ? i had to change that or something? witch to wipe?
When starting TWRP the very first screen asks if you want to mount the partitions in read only mode or full access. And a check box to never show this again. Have you seen that? If not, try to update TWRP to 3.1.x.x, don't remember the exact version, you can find it here, in the Mi 5s section of the forums.
If you get that working, installing a new OS is pretty easy - go to Install, select the ZIP file with the new OS and follow the instructions. You might want to wipe cache and dalvik to avoid force closures after that.
Usually instructions on how to install a specific OS version are found in that OS's forum section.
i all ready do that bye rename and replace the new twrp in the flash kit folder everything is don... what is the best rom right now to install?
That's really up to your preference. I'm on global developer 7.5.25. Some use LOS.
i tried your guide, but i cant unlock bootloader. After i select option 3, the phone restarts and the bunny appears but after that i only receive the message attached.
Can somebody tell me what i do wrong?
What's your current MIUI version?
I'm on 8.2.1.0 and on computer i have Windows 10. I enabled usb debugging and type on add device account
Trimis de pe al meu MI 5s folosind Tapatalk
To be honest I'm not really sure why it doesn't work for you. The phone restarts, so you have the adb drivers.
Here's a little something that deserves a shot - the very first post - http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=525726&extra=page=1&page=2&mobile=2
I'd love to hear back from you if that worked or not.
i make a request to xiaomi to unlock bootloader and they aproved it in 6 hours, so i will try with mi unlock tool when i get home today. i keep you informed. thx
In managed to unlock with official metod.
Trimis de pe al meu MI 5s folosind Tapatalk
I've taken a look at the code in the script and this method WILL NOT unlock your bootloader. This is only useful for flashing TWRP and rooting a phone, if your phone IS ALREADY UNLOCKED. The third picture provided in the original post is incorrect and that will not be printed on the screen. The script does not attempt
Code:
fastboot oem unlock-go
at any point.
You will probably have to go through the official unlock process.

Hey there I recently had the same problem with a OnePlus 6T... What I did was I installed everything manually using the ADB tools, in fastboot mode. Everything worked fine afterwards. Follow this guide, it will hopefully help.(It helped me ;D)

Make sure to have unzipped the compressed android file from the guide(whichever you decided to donwload) in the same folder as your ADB and Fastboot tools.
If it is still not working... try to manually flash everything in fastboot mode, that is what I did...
Download the latest version of android pie provided in the link from the guide( Google drive or Android Filehost), and then make sure to unzip the compressed file in the same folder where you installed your ADB and Fastboot Tool. Make sure a TWRP recovery image is in the same folder. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3861482)
Then, what you should do is to follow the guide where it says:
MANUAL FLASH: Windows - OSX - Linux
Get back to me after you finished. Read twice, execute once :good:

Download the TOOL ALL IN ONE and if it says fastboot device connected, I think you'll be fine. Make sure right below that you choose OnePlus 6T. Then just download and flash the full rom and it fixed mine, I had the same problem.

PLeaseeee help me I have a rooted oneplus 6t. I performed a backup and wipe in hope to clear a problem and am now stuck in fastboot mode. Im pretty sure as I tried to reboot it said no os detected, and then I got stuck. I have tried to install the latest oxygen os by manualling flashing 4 files. all tutorials i read have bootloader and other files while i just have - system_matrix , system_manifest , vendor_matrix, vendor_menifest (XML files by the way). I have flashed these files and rebooted only to go back to the fastboot screen.

Bro please help me I didn't not much about this things but ill do flashing and customisation i bricked my Oneplus 6t its stuck on bootloader ill try msm tool also its shows param preprocessing ?
And my bootloader is also locked how can i solve this problem pls help me
For anyone running into a similar problem these are the steps I used
1. Download and extract files
a. Qualcomm drivers
b. MSM Oneplus 6t download Tool
2. Disable Driver Signature Enforcement by restarting your pc whilst holding shift, Choose trouble shoot, then going into more recovery ,select Advanced Options > Startup Settings > and then click on Restart.
3. Now PC will restart and Now you will see a list of startup settings that you can change. Select option 7 ‘Disable Driver Signature Enforcement’ by clicking f7
4. Now switch off your phone (by navigating through fast boot options)
5. While switched off hold both vol up + down for 5secs before connecting to your pc. *Your pc should recognise a phone is connected however nothing will be displayed on your phone*
6. Open device manager from start- Under Other devices there should be your phone (although it will be called smthn else), right click that and select update drivers
7. Browse computer for driver software and select folder with extracted QUALCOMM drivers (for me it was called unbrick).
8. The open the MSM application (run as admin tho) it should say device connected
9. Press start and you download should start- if error occurs or download stops unplug, power on, power off and the plug it again, now it should be fine.
10. Wait for download to finish and then your phone should be rebooted

Thanks so much for your reply. I have been trying to install the 1.14 patched version for developers but it seems the links I have tried are giving me the store version. Can you suggest a good source for the file? Also am I correct in looking for the 1.14 version? Or should I use 1.15? 1.16? 1.17?
Thanks again for your help.

I am one step closer I think. The link in the post you directed me to for the patched LGUP appears to be in Chinese.
I think I figured this part out though. Now I think I have a new problem. I an getting an invalid DLL error.
(see imgur.com/1b6VVD8)
I ran LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.5.0 but that doesnt seem to work.
Can you help me with the correct DLL for the unlocked AT&T V35 model LMV350AWM10n and where to place the file or how to install it?
Thank you for your help.

The dll error it's probably because you are either not installing the dev version, or not launching from the desktop shortcut it creates.
I don't remember it being in Chinese.
If I don't have time to check tonight I'll look see it tomorrow.

OK, I see what you are talking about. In that post to which I linked, I gave TWO different versions of Dev Patched LGUP which work with V35. Yes, one was from a Chinese website, but I said if it doesn't work then to try the other version. I wrote that post over a year ago, and since then I've advised to use the 2nd one more often.
So, try that one. I've attached it to this post. I've also copied and pasted the instructions below.

Flash in Refurbish mode. Then Master Reset for good mesure:
Master Reset -- using buttons:
1. Unplug phone and turn it OFF.
2. Press and hold the Power and Volume down buttons.
3. When the LG logo appears, quickly release the Power button only -- then immediately press Power button again, while STILL pressing the Volume down button until you see the screen to select Yes to erase and reset everything.
4. Release both buttons so you can make your choices.
With your device powered off, press and hold the Power button and Volume Down buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.
When the LG logo appears, quickly release and then re-hold the Power button while keep holding the Volume Down button.
Let go of the buttons when the onscreen menu appears.
When you see the option to Delete all user data (including LG and carrier apps) and reset all settings message prompt, press the Volume Down button to highlight Yes.
Then press the Power button to reset the device.
Wait until the reset is complete then reboot your device. If it’s able to boot up successfully, proceed with the initial setup.

It's all fairly easy. Most people breeze right through this. But if you have any problems, go through this list:
* Make sure you in download mode BEFORE opening the patched LGUP file.
This is at the top of the list as some people forget to do that. The remainder are in no particular order. If that doesn't work,
* Try different USB port,
* Try different USB cable,
* Try different computer.
* Reinstall LG mobile drivers on your PC.
* Reinstall dev patched LGUP again.
* Reboot the computer.
If you ask for help, that's the list of items we are going to give you anyway.

have you run into this problem before, i dont know why its not working i tried using partition DL and upgrade both came back with error it. using same kdz version as stock that came with phone

[GUIDE] Unlock Verizon OnePlus 8 5G UW (IN2019) bootloader

Disclaimer​While I will assist with any issues resulting from this guide, I disclaim all responsibility and cannot be held accountable for any consequences caused by the use or misuse of this tool or process. This method also will wipe your phone, so please back up your data. I also will disclaim any understanding as to why exactly this works, since this method was developed by someone else, I am just listing the instructions on how to use it. With that being said, understand your personal limits and read this entire guide before starting.
Preface​I have seen dozens of posts asking for a Bootloader unlocking method for the OnePlus 8 5G UW (IN2019) and thanks to the attributed users at the end of this post, a method has been found. I will document the most straightforward way to unlock the bootloader here so you can install custom OSes, TWRP, and Magisk.
Part I: Prerequisites and initial setup​To follow this guide you will need
A Windows PC (running 7+)
Latest MsmDownloadTool and stock firmware for the OnePlus IN2019 - Link
OnePlus 8 IN2019 with latest stock software update and USB cable
Latest version of platform-tools - Link
The bootloader unlock.ops file - Link
Plug your phone into your PC using a USB 2.0 port (this is important, USB 3.0 has given me a lot of issues and just doesn’t seem to work all the time) and ensure USB debugging is enabled.
Extract the downloaded platform-tools zip and open the platform-tools folder in a command prompt, and Run adb devices and makes sure your device appears in the list.
Next, extract the OnePlus_8_Verizon_OxygenOS_11.0.zip and open up the MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe inside the instantnoodlev_15_O.01_210110 folder.
When the application opens, select “Others” under the User type dropdown and hit next. Leave this window and the platform-tools command prompt open.
Spoiler: Command Prompt
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Spoiler: MsmDownloadTool setup
Part II: Entering Qualcomm EDL mode and installing correct QDLoader Driver​In this section we will install the correct drivers to utilize Qualcomm's Emergency Download (EDL) mode. When you are in EDL mode, your phone screen will be completely black and it will only exit if you complete a flash or unplug it from your PC and hold volume up, volume down and power. To enter EDL mode from a powered off state, hold volume up and volume down and connect your phone to your PC.​1. Return to the platform-tools command prompt, and type adb reboot edl and wait. Your phone should disconnect from the computer and then reconnect.
2. Open Device manager, and check for the device “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008” or “QUSB_BULK_CID:xxxx_SN:xxxxxxxx” - if you see “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008” under Ports (COM and LPT), skip to part III. If you see “QUSB_BULK_CID:xxxx_SN:xxxxxxxx” under Other Devices with a yellow triangle, then proceed to step 3.
Spoiler: QUSB_BULK_CID:xxxx_SN:xxxxxxxx (Proceed to Step 3)
Spoiler: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (Skip to Part III)
3.
Spoiler: Windows 11
Open Settings, Go to Windows Update and Check for updates. After, Click Advanced options, Optional Updates and drop down “Driver Updates” Locate “Qualcomm Incorporated - Ports - 3/25/2016 12:00:00 AM - 2.1.2.2” in the list, and install it.
Spoiler: Windows 10
On Windows 10 - Open Settings, Go to Update & Security, Check for updates, Click “View Optional Updates” and select “Qualcomm Incorporated - Ports - 3/25/2016 12:00:00 AM - 2.1.2.2” and install it.
This should install the correct driver, replacing “QUSB_BULK_CID:xxxx_SN:xxxxxxxx” with "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in device manager.
Spoiler: Correctly Installed Driver
Part III: Flash Stock Firmware​In this section, we will flash the stock IN2019 Android 11 firmware. If you have any trouble with this process refer to the original guide on how to do this here.​1. Return to MsmDownloaderTool and hit the Enum button. In the list, it should list the COM Port associated with the device. The status of connection should read “Connected”
Spoiler: MsmDownloadTool Connected
2. Click the “Start” button. This will flash the stock firmware, wiping your data. Make sure you have backed your data up at this point. It will take a few minutes, usually ~300 seconds. Once it completes, it will reboot into factory default android.
3. Close MsmDownloadertool and once you are back to android, unplug your phone and power it off.
Part IV: Unlock the bootloader​In this section, we will flash the unlockable firmware and unlock the device for good.​1. Inside the directory with MsmDownloaderTool V4.0.exe, there should be a file called “instantnoodlev_15_O.01_210110.ops”. Remove it from the directory, either by deleting it or moving it to another folder. Then take the unlock.ops file downloaded earlier, and drag it into the directory. It should be in the same folder as MsmDownloaderTool.
Spoiler: Directory before unlock.ops
Spoiler: Directory after unlock.ops
2. Reopen MsmDownloaderTool V4.0.exe and like before, select “Others” in the drop down, and click next. Leave the window open.
3. Hold in the Volume up and down buttons, then plug your phone back in. Keep holding the buttons until your phone connects to your PC as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008", like before. Check device manager to ensure that it’s connected correctly as a COM port. If it boots to android, power it off and try again.
4. Return to MsmDownloaderTool and click Enum. Make sure the phone is still displayed in the list under the associated COM Port.
5. Click start. The flashing should take about 15 seconds, and when complete, your phone should restart. It will display a message at boot saying “<!> The device is corrupt..” Do not panic, this is normal.
6. Unplug your phone and hold Volume Up, Volume Down and Power until the device reboots and let go once it shows the OnePlus Logo and “Fastboot Mode”. You should arrive at a screen that has “Start” in big green letters at the top, and “Fastboot mode” below it, with the very last item saying “Device state - Locked” in red text.
7. Plug your phone back into your computer, and open device manager. Look for the “Kedacom USB Device” category with “Android Bootloader Interface” under it. If this device is present, skip to step 9. If this device is not, proceed to step 8.
8. Go back to Windows Update, Check for updates again, go into Optional Updates and install “Google, Inc. - Other hardware - Android Bootloader Interface”
Spoiler: Optional Driver
Check device manager to ensure “Android Bootloader Interface” is present under Kedacom USB Device.
Spoiler: Kedacom USB Device
9. Return to your command prompt window open in platform-tools, and run fastboot devices and ensure your device is in the list.
10. Finally, run the command fastboot flashing unlock and on your phone, it should prompt you to confirm unlocking the bootloader. Once complete, it should reboot into Android.
11. Shut the phone off again, and then Hold Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power and let go when the OnePlus logo and “Fastboot mode” shows up on screen. If the final item in the list says “Device State - Unlocked”, Congrats! You have successfully unlocked your bootloader. You can follow your custom OS’s installation guide from here.
Part V: Troubleshooting, Notes, and Attributions​
Spoiler: If your MSM tool gets stuck on "Sahara communcation failed" when trying to flash.
Unplug your phone, and hold Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down. It should reboot into fastboot mode. Using the volume keys, navigate to the "Power off" option and hit the power button to confirm. Then holding Volume Up and Down, plug your phone back into your PC and try flashing again.
Any attempt to use MsmDownloadTool after the unlock will cause the device
to become locked again. You can unlock again by repeating the steps above.
Attempting the unlock process while running android 10 will result in a
crash at bootup. Update your phone to the latest update before starting.
USB 3.0 has thrown some obtuse errors when trying to use this process, so I highly recommend using a USB 2.0 port if possible.
If you want to flash back to stock firmware again (relock bootloader), you have to first flash this file (stock.ops) and then flash the bundled stock firmware. It will give a mismatch error if you do not.
You can only have one .ops file in the MsmDownloadTool directory at a time. You'll get an error if there are multiple files.
If for some reason, you run into an issue or skip a step by accident, leave a comment and I will try to help as much as possible. This is my first XDA guide and I just wanted to compile something that would have saved me hours of trial and error.
Attributions:​@Whoareyou for providing the method and unlock.ops to me originally. He pretty much got the ball rolling for me.
@retryfail / https://retry.abort.fail for creating the unlock.ops and providing the original guide, this would absolutely not be possible without his work.

It does. If you already have Android 11, just save and store your phone data, factory reset, boot into EDL, connect and start the tool. If it runs an error, DONT stop the download. Press the POWER + VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN buttons at the same time and hold it until it reconnects. It takes a few seconds. Once it reconnects you should see it fully load. I didn't see the need for stock firmware file unless I needed to reflash my stock after ****ing up (I bricked it once or twice), and tbh it's not even the one I used to reset my phone. I just unlocked my BL a few hours ago. It works, I promise

Right click the link and open in new window, than refresh the blank page it opens. That will trigger the download.

It does. If you already have Android 11, just save and store your phone data, factory reset, boot into EDL, connect and start the tool. If it runs an error, DONT stop the download. Press the POWER + VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN buttons at the same time and hold it until it reconnects. It takes a few seconds. Once it reconnects you should see it fully load. I didn't see the need for stock firmware file unless I needed to reflash my stock after ****ing up (I bricked it once or twice), and tbh it's not even the one I used to reset my phone. I just unlocked my BL a few hours ago. It works, I promise

Did you follow the guide while unlocking your bootloader and if so, do you have any feedback for the guide? This is my first guide so I just wanted to hear any potential criticism.

It worked for me. It was straightforward, and it was really easy to figure out. I kept getting an error during the parameter update when I used the included firmware, so I just flashed the Unlock.ops file and carried on. I had a dumb moment bc I didnt actually read it fully at first, so I freaked out and thought that I'd bricked it lmao. But all in all, it was good man. Good instructions, and you gave examples that helped me out when I was confused. Good job! Well worth the wait
This replaces the VZW abl/xbl with ones from one of the unlockable variants? Impressive that it works this way...

From my understanding, it messes with the param essentially tricking the phone into thinking it's not from Verizon.

Fantastic! Actually I have a OnePlus 8 T-mobile. Did you modify the Msmdownloadtool to allow this process going? Can you help allow msmdownloadtool to flash global roms to the T-mobile/ Verizon variant so that we maybe can unlock the second sim function?

The MsmDownloadTool did not need to be modified at all, you just had to swap the included .ops file (Stock firmware) with the unlock.ops in the directory, and it'll flash it on. As for the second question, I'm not really sure how I could help. If really would like my help, I'd be happy to assist, just contact me on Discord (Mason.#6969) or Telegram (message me on xda and i'll give it to you).
Thanks guys. I'll be trying this soon.

I am on OnePlus 8 5G UW (Verizon) using a different network operator.

No. It just unlocks the bootloader so installing a different ROM is possible. What you install is up to you.

Yes. As long as your device is unlocked (60 days after initial purchase from Verizon) then it will work with any SIM.

I did this while trying to get the camera working. I think you can flash the global rom using the stuff from this guide
