It has become a necessity to remain connected to the world. I also thank OnePlus for somehow failing to prevent the MSM tool from entering the hands of the public every time, and for trafficking this good.The smartphones are dire need of today’s world. What are your ideas about this and is there another option available that could work for me?ĭualboot with Windows/Kubuntu is a alternatieve but can also be tricky.Īs much as I hate Qualcomm for their monopolistic business practices, I thank them for EDL mode. Everything I need is on the external harddisks. It is no problem for me to change the OS because I don't lose any files. When I can unlock my phone in Windows with the MSM tool I can install Kubuntu back again on the laptop. Install Windows on the laptop via the flashdrive. Because the OS is on the SSD and not on the laptop do I have access to the USB ports on the laptop via Windows which runs on the SSD? The purpose is to connect the bricked phone to one of the USB ports and use the MSM tool to unbrick my device.Ģ) Buy a USB flash drive and write the ISO from your link to the flashdrive.
I can change the boot option in the Bios and select the SSD. I am wondering if and how this will work. I have external harddisks I use for storage (no SSD) and was thinking what is the best option for me:ġ) Buy an external SSD for Windows. I have a laptop with one SSD in it and there is no room for a second SSD. I also thank OnePlus for somehow failing to prevent the MSM tool from entering the hands of the public every time, and for trafficking this good. I loaded WIndows 10 onto it and tried the MSM from there - AND IT WORKED!Īs much as I hate Qualcomm for their monopolistic business practices, I thank them for EDL mode. I had a spare laptop lying around, and it has USB 2 ports. I've retried multiple times but still the same result. What is preventing it from getting past this? I'm using the cable provided in the box.
MSM recognized the device, showed it as connected and started doing its thing, but stopped at "Sahara Communication failed". I think possibly the lack of a USB 2 port could be the cause.įinally I set up a basic VM with Windows 10 and a USB 2 controller, and it worked-ish. MSM never showed the device as connected. Then I tried it on my mom's Windows 10 laptop. The drivers didn't even install right it seems, and the device (in EDL mode) wasn't even recognized. įirst I tried this on a Windows 7 VirtualBox VM (I use Ubuntu on my actual computer).
As the solution to this problem appears to be to use the MSM tool to do an "actual" factory reset, I downloaded the MSM tool, and the decrypted ROM from this link. So, my phone's bricked - it won't boot, just brings up fastboot.
