Is there any way to bypass Xiaomi's account system and wait time? It isn't only the pain in the ass, but I would trust an XDA developer a lot more than a Chinese corporation like Xiaomi with any possible privacy issues related to their bootloader unlock process.
I've seen a thread for the Mi 4c which seems to be similar to what I'm looking for.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/general/guide-unlocking-mi4c-bl-verification-t3336779
Has anything similar been done for the Mi 8 Lite?
Thanks!
No
Good luck. Just be patient and read all you can about Mi8 Lite while waiting. That is what I did. Made the time pass more quickly. NOTE: Do not change sim cards mid-way through. It will reset your 15 days. Almost got burned by doing that myself.
I had the same issue. Try to use Miflash unlock version 2.3.803.10. MAYBE it can work.
u need to wait, no other way

My 3 redmi note 4x's were unlocked same day. Newer devices have the longer wait time. So far nothing you can do but wait.
The solution is in files

I've tried some versions of this program, but none worked, and I've seen and heard reports that the miunlock program does not really work properly. So I gave up unlocking and I want to undo it.
Please give me a name of a good device so that I can change it on my MI8 Lite? preference Motorola and Samsung.

Still sad that Xiaomi tries to make it so hard to unlock bootloader
I've just done unoff unlocking process without paying. If it is interesting, i can describe.
And for Mi8 also, but it need to edl-autorization flash (some money).

unofficial unlock
So here is instruction to get unofficial unlocked Mi8 Lite device ("platina").
Must say "bla-bla" about risk of damaging. My phone was "baseband unknown" problem, so no way to unlock officially.
You must have some skills.
All you need files except FW's are in attachment.
1. I have MI8Lite CN version 9.6.6.0. I dont know how about other versions.
2. Remove back cover and antenna cover to reach TP.
3. Extract attach, run miflash, select extracted directory, connect phone in 9008 mode and flash.
In \images only few files and corrected loader, so you dont need auth-account to flash.
4. At end of flashing (not during process!!!!) I got an error. It is normal.
5. Reconnect battery, press Vol-down, connect to PC. You must have fastboot mode and NO info on screen (it is normal, bcz your phone now "wayne" not "platina").
6. Run mi_unlock_en_sod, press left key in it then press right key. You must see green text in this program and your phone reboots. Still garbage on screen! But now unlocked!
7. Go to FW-directory of your phone (same as in your phone), edit flash_all.bat. Remove First and second line (checking phone model), save file.
8. Execute command "fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img". Result must be OK.
9. Run flash_all.bat.
10. That's all. Your phone must turns on, unlocked and "platina".
11. Corrected firehose loader from \images can be used to flash any MI8Lite FW without edl auth.
On Mi8 process much easy but expensive. You need to flash 9.5.11.0 version via edl auth, run mi_unlock_en_sod, press left, press right. I have been done huge amount.
On Redmi Note 7 process must be same as on Mi8Lite bcz it is one phone in two different cases.

So it looks like some of you really need help with unbricking your device - let me guide you.
This is my first Xiaomi device (K20 Pro) and i hard bricked it after 30h of usage.
fastboot locked and "your system has been destroyed" message - nice!
So yeah, i was looking for some unbrick methods and didn't found any, so i researched a bit and after a few hours it was done.
Unfortunatly this method isn't free - but it is the cheapest solution out there without a needed appointment - aka fully automated.
For the moderators: this is the one of few available services to authorize a EDL flash, it is the cheapest and the only automated service.
I do not intend to do any kind of promotion here. Once a free method or cheaper service will be available, i'll update the thread accordingly.
Step 1: Open your phone - take off the backpanel and mainboard shield
JerryRigEverything K20 Pro Teardown - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd6KpX5MRtI
Note: only top mobo shield needs to be removed, you can use a thin guitar pick instead of the razorblade (to prevent damage)
Step 2: Get your K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro into EDL mode

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
1. First of all, unplug the battery connector (blue) from the phone.
2. Now short the 2 points (red) and keep them shorted.
3. Last but not least, plug the usb cable into your usb 2.0 port
(yes, the battery must be disconnected, yes, while doing so you must have the test points shorted)
4. Your phone should now show up in device manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" or "QHSUSB_BULK"
5. if your phone appears in device manager as "QHSUSB_BULK", you have to install the proper driver before proceeding,
please check out this tutorial: https://xiaomibuzz.com/downloads/download-qualcomm-qdloader-usb-driver.html
Step 3: Flash your device
1. Make an account at https://s-unlock.com
2. Press "Add fund" in the main navigation bar
3. Add 15$ to your account, i prefer to pay via PayPal - this would be 0.98$ fees - so after fees you pay 15,98$
4. After clicking on "+Add Fund", you'll be redirected to an invoice where you can pay through paypal
(paypal express selected in payment gateway option) via the "Pay Now" button
5. now the necessary credits will be available in the credits balance in the main navigation bar
6. download and install the latest version of xiaomitool (v0.2 currently) here: https://xiaomitool.net/download
7. after installation is complete, open the program and copy the "Fingerprint" from the "Login Area" section
8. open the site where you can order the needed service for the edl flash https://s-unlock.com/users/server-order?server_service_id=172
9. paste the previously copied fingerprint from xiaomitool into the fingerprint input field of the website and input quantity 15 (just like shown on the screenshot)
Note: the username and password on the order site do not have to match your s-unlock user account, you can pick a different username/password - just remember them!
10. press submit - your credit balance on the s-unlock site should show 0 now - don't worry, your credits have been transferred to the xiaomitool account
11. Open xiaomitool again and login with the credentials you chose during the order process (see step 9)
12. after clicking login, the program connects to the server and shows your current balance of 15 credits
13. download the correct fastboot-firmware for your phone from here https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/raphael/
Note: Chinese variant requires chinese firmware on locked bootloader, same applies to india, russia, eea (eu) and global.
14. extract the downloaded fastboot firmware through winrar
15. select the extracted firmware folder in xiaomitools
16. Press "EDL flash" - it should detect your phone as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Device" and request an edl authentication for 10 credits
17. confirm the popup - and the flash process starts if you did everything right
18. Congrats, you unbricked your device - and i'm sure you are able to reassemble it again by yourself
very detailed guide, thanks!
I have two questions,
how was your device bricked?
why does this work? why normal edl flash method wouldn't work?

some pictures are still missing, but they'll be added soon.
i locked my chinese k20 pro while beeing on the eea rom, turned out that was a bad idea.
well, xiaomi requires an edl flash to be authorized, and they just do that for service centers for example.
regards
Great, thx.
That's it... I have no intention to brick my device, but is really nice to know that, if all goes wrong, we still has a last solution. This forum needs this tutorial...
Congrats.
Great tutorial bro.
why shouldn't we try authorised service centres first?

You can, but if you've bought the phone from a different region they will probably refuse to look at it. If they will look at it, they will charge more than the cost of s-unlock credits.
Nice tutorial , useful for someone in the situation that you was are in to.
I have one other question that you probably do not have the answer to.
If you flash using this method an for example GLOBAL rom on CN device, will it unlock all the bands?
Using this method does it flash the modem firmware? Because the 855 modem supports all the available bands, but some are disabled by software.

No. You cannot unlock radio bands by flashing the modem firmware. If it was this easy there would be no point to Xaiomi setting different bands for different regions.
I have a question about rom, the model of my redmi k20 pro is M1903F11A, during my research to get rom I saw that for this model would be rom Davinci and not Raphael, or am I mistaken? Does this process you describe only work with this raphael rom?

it is raphael - k20 pro.
This process can be also applied to other xiaomi devices, but would need other fastboot firmwares.

Why this(Hard Brick) happened exactly?
last doubt before trying
Hello,
One last question, as I'm afraid of just spending another $ 15 and further increasing my $ 280 loss.
When you needed to do the procedure was your cell phone completely dead like mine? No bootloader, no fastboot, only black screen, no led on? Just being recognized in Window as QDloader 9008?
I am finding it very strange that my mobile is recognized as QDLoader 9008 without having to do the testpoint procedure. When I do testpoint nothing changes, continues QDloader 9008.
And another question, with $ 15 I only have one try? Or one flash successfully completed?

it'll authorize first before flashing everything but it sends a package to test everything to the device before, otherwise i can only suggest to pick a USB2.0 port while flashing.
And yes, i think its also possible to enter edl mode through a modified usb cable. Give it a try, it should work if you flash your original rom -> rom the device came with.
Regards
Ok, thanks for the tips, I will try this weekend calmly and well rested :good:
Although I am not very confident as i do not know so far if may phone is in EDL mode at all.

Let us know how it went, otherwise open it up and get it in tespoint manually again through the method described in OP - just to make sure you don't fail and have to pay for a second attempt.

I saw the other thread on unlocking the T-Mobile variant, so I thought I'd document my experience unlocking the version bought directly from the OnePlus store.
WarningsThis guide applies exclusively to OnePlus Nord N200 5G phones bought from the USA OnePlus online store.
It may work for other carrier-unlocked Nord N200 5G phones. However, I haven't tested them.
As always, this voids your warranty.
Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about this process before following it. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will not help you.

In addition, this adds an unremovable warning screen from the bootup process. After unlocking your device, the device will show a warning screen on every bootup for 5 seconds. It will read as follows:
The boot loader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed. Any data stored on the device may be available to attackers. Do not store any sensitive data on the device.
Visit this link on another device:
g.co/ABH
PRESS POWER KEY TO PAUSE BOOT
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As a last note, if successful, this will wipe your device. Backup all data you care about.
Prerequisites1. A OnePlus Nord N200 5G bought from the USA OnePlus store, running OxygenOS 11.
2. A computer with the `fastboot` android platform tool set up and working.
You can download a package containing fastboot from https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.
3. A usb-C cable to plug the phone into the computer.
Steps1. Enable developer settings.
Go to Settings -> About phone. Tap "Build number" 5 times until it brings up a prompt to enter your device password. Enter it.
On success, it will bring up a note saying "You are now a developer!"
2. Enable OEM Unlocking
Go to Settings -> System -> Developer Options. Tap "OEM Unlocking" and follow prompts.
3. Reboot into fastboot
Long-press the power button, then select "Restart". As the phone is restarting, hold down the volume down and volume up buttons.
The phone should now be showing a text interface. You can select different options with the volume buttons, and use the power button to select.
3. Unlock using fastboot
Connect the phone to the computer.
In a command prompt on the computer, use the following fastboot command:
Bash:
fastboot devices
Verify that your device is connected, and the serial code matches the "SERIAL NUMBER" shown on the screen of the phone. For instance, my device shows as:
Code:
$ fastboot devices
SERIAL_NUMBER_REDACTED fastboot
And on my phone screen, it shows "SERIAL NUMBER - SERIAL_NUMBER_REDACTED".
Once you've verified this, use the following command to unlock the device:
Reminder: THIS COMMAND WIPES YOUR DATA. All data on the phone will be erased by this.
Bash:
fastboot oem unlock
If successful, the computer will output this:
Code:
$ fastboot oem unlock
OKAY [ 0.042s]
Finished. Total time: 0.042s
On the phone, you will see a prompt for unlocking the device. Read it, and follow the instructions. Use the volume up/down buttons as up/down arrow keys, and the power button as "OK" or "Enter".
After you've confirmed you want to unlock the device, your phone will reboot several times, and erase all data. Once it's done, you'll be rebooted into the operating system.
4. Confirm the unlock worked
To confirm the unlock worked, reboot into fastboot mode again.
On the screen, the bottom row should now read "DEVICE STATE - unlocked".
Congrats! You've unlocked your device. Once someone builds a custom recovery or ROM, you'll be able to use fastboot to flash it to your device.
So does this mean you can now pull the files someone would need to start on a custom recovery and/or a custom rom or at least majisk?

Unfortunately, this doesn't let you pull any files from the device. All it does is allow you to flash a custom recovery, ROM, or boot.img once someone develops one.
With that said, I have started researching steps for porting TWRP to the device.
Edit: since this is the only place I've mentioned it, might as well give an update. I'm giving up on porting TWRP for now - I think we really will need binary blobs, or a lot more hacking on things and finding a similar device. And given that our device is the first wave of devices with the sm4350 platform.... I think our best bet is OnePlus releasing binary blobs.
I've taken notes on everything I've been trying at https://github.com/daboross/android_device_oneplus_holi_notes, if anyone's interested.
Man that stinks. I was hoping we could have at least gotten the files needed for majisk.
2 alternate ways to get into fastboot mode:
ADB:
The command
'adb reboot bootloader'
will restart the device in fastboot mode.
Advanced Reboot:
In the developer options, turn on 'Advanced Reboot'.
Hold the power button for a few seconds to bring up the power off/restart dialog.
At the top right corner will be 3 dots, tap them, select 'bootloader' from the resulting dialog.
The phone will reboot into fastboot mode.

I'm thinking it'll be a chain reaction as soon as we have *anything*.
Like, if we get magisk, we'll quickly be able to then pull the stock ROM and recovery and use those to build TWRP.
Or if someone can build TWRP, we can use that to pull boot.img and get magisk working, and pull the stock ROM and get a custom ROM built.
Or if someone can port a custom rom (though I imagine this is harder than the above two - probably impossible without binary blobs?) - we can include root in it, then use that to grab boot.img and the recovery image.
As soon as we get *any* control which gives us root access or otherwise unimpeded access, we should be able to do everything.

i dont specialize in oneplus phones but maybe you could somehow get the stock rom and extract the boot.img file to then patch with magisk or the recovery.img whatever it is

The hard part is "somehow get the stock rom".
As soon as we can get that, everything else will indeed be possible.

I think the thread has been deleted now, but someone did do that for the Metro variant. I believe there was also a grab for the T-Mobile variant.
Unfortunately, both of those OTA updates were partial updates, and are useless without an original ROM image. I've also been watching for an update to my OnePlus non-carrier-variant, but no updates have been pushed at all.
I think it's not a bad idea. Just unfortunately all the updates so far have been partial, and since a new version of android is a ways away, I think they will continue to be partial updates, still useless.

Ah, but the device shipped with OxygenOS 11!
There have been so few updates since the device was released a little over a month ago. No OxygenOS 10 firmware ever existed for it.
Is the N200 directly bought from oneplus dual sim?
It seems like the device has the space/pins for second sim but disables dual sim via software.
Check on youtube for "N200 teardown" and the motherboard likely has space/pins for second sim.
BTW: does the unlocked version of N200 have FM radio? Can you install app "NextRadio" and see if it works?
GSMArena lists the N200 as dual sim with FM radio.

I'm not sure if it's dual sim or not, but it doesn't look designed to be. There's only one IMEI listed in settings, and while the SIM tray is long enough for two different SIM cards, the second one is filled in with plastic and you'd have to modify it to put a SIM card there.
Here's a picture of the front and back of the SIM tray:

I'm not sure if it's dual sim or not, but it doesn't look designed to be. There's only one IMEI listed in settings, and while the SIM tray is long enough for two different SIM cards, the second one is filled in with plastic and you'd have to modify it to put a SIM card there.
Here's a picture of the front and back of the SIM tray:

The motherboard may have pins for second sim card.
Maybe like the t-mobile version of oneplus 6T, we just need to replace the sim card tray and flash compatible firmware to enable dual sim function.
Even with one IMEI, both sim cards can still work simultaneously like the T-Mobile oneplus 6T. People have reported two sims work on t-mobile simultaneously or on two different carriers on t-mobile oneplus 6T with one imei.

I'm surprised the radio app doesn't work. There is a default package installed with a radio app, and the original phone (A91?) comes with an fm radio.
Can someone explain if they really switched the camera modules? I can't find any info on what the specific camera module is, plus the a54 (oppo) has a 48 mp camera versus the 13 mp in the n200. It seems like they really wouldn't switch the cameras on a phone so similiar, but who am I?

What is the default package? I can't find any on my device that looks like it'd be a radio app.
Here's a screenshot of NextRadio. To be clear, I have done no debugging to see if I could get it to work. I just installed it via the play store and opened it.

I'm not against discussing this here, but I think you may have more luck with a new Question thread specifically for this question. I'm not an expert on phone hardware.

Ah, but the device shipped with OxygenOS 11!
There have been so few updates since the device was released a little over a month ago. No OxygenOS 10 firmware ever existed for it.

Have you tried downloading full ROM of OxygenOS11 using the Oxygen Updater app?

Thanks for referring to that!
Unfortunately, I downloaded the app, and there's only one update channel available - "Stable". No option to select between Incremental and Full on this device. Screenshot of this below:

Hey guys, similar to all of @Some_Random_Username's unbrick threads, here are the EDL packages (also known as MSM tools or unbrick tools) that can revive a bricked OnePlus Nord N200 5G.
Important: This is only for the T-Mobile variant of the N200. This will not work on the factory unlocked variant and may or may not work for the Metro variant.

Instructions:
Launch MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe.
On the login prompt select "Others" in the dropdown menu and click on Next.
Wait a few seconds until main window shows up.
Press Start button so that it waits for your device to be connected
Power off your device
Press and hold the volume up and down buttons to get into Qualcomm EDL mode.
Plug your device to your computer.
Should you not manage to do that and have adb access, you can use adb reboot edl instead
Wait ~300 seconds.
Enjoy your brand new device.
FAQ:
Does this work on Mac or on Linux?
Unfortunately no, tool is Windows only. You should need at least Windows 7.
Why is my antivirus freaking out when unzipping the archive or running the tool?
In an effort to protect reverse engineering from being done (and by extension prevent conversion process like it was done on 6T and 7Pro), OnePlus now use VM Protect V3 in their MSM tools. As this tries to detect debug environment, this is seen as malicious behaviour by some antivirus.
How can I check my device project ID?
Use getprop ro.boot.project_name. This however involve having ADB access or access to OxygenOS to use Termux or whatever terminal emulator you prefer.
My device isn't detected
Go to device manager and make sure your phone shows up as QDLOADER 9008.
If it shows up as QHUSB_BULK, it means Qualcomm driver wasn't installed automatically by Windows Update. Download the latest one from Microsoft website at http://download.windowsupdate.com/c..._fba473728483260906ba044af3c063e309e6259d.cab (source https://www.catalog.update.microsof...updateid=8ee52ba0-bdef-4009-88cf-335a678dd67a ) and install it manually by right clicking on QHUSB_BULK and selecting "Update driver software" and "Browse my computer for driver software" to where you downloaded CAB file.
If you can't get into EDL mode by hardware keys, you may use adb reboot edl (will require your phone to still have ADB access)
MSM tool is stuck on "Param pre-processing"
Ensure you're using the Qualcomm drivers linked above.
MSM tool is stuck on "Sahara communication failed"
Unplug your phone, get in fastboot mode, turn off phone, wait 15 secondes and get back in Qualcomm EDL mode. You can also try using a USB 2.0 port instead of a 3.0 one.
What is SMT Download mode?
Just don't try to unlock that mode, it will wipe your IMEI and your Widevine certificate if you use it.
How can I fix "SMT config not found" error?

@Nache and others who have the unlocked version from the oneplus store and have the bootloader locked and phone bricked .. This version will not work with your phone as i just tried it myself today .. hopefully someone gets a hold of the msmdowmload from the tech support ..
patiently waiting for the unlock
So just to confirm: For those of us with Tmobile version, this will install default rom from OnePlus and get rid of all the bloatware from Tmobile and technically make our devices be like they are originally purchased from OP?
And of course, in order to use this our bootloader needs to be unlocked?
Will this lock bootloader again?
And do we unlock it with same code we got from OP first time?
Thanks!

My understanding is the T-Mobile MSM Tools will restore a T-Mobile variant phone to the state it was in coming from T-Mobile; meaning if you debloated the phone, the bloat will be back.
You can use the MSM Tools even with a locked bootloader.
If your bootloader is unlocked, I believe this will lock it. (it may SIM lock your phone again as well, unsure...)
I think the same unlock token will work, but I'm hesitant to say 'yes' without someone testing it first.

1. Nope, this will revert your device back to the T-Mobile stock ROM, including all the bloatware. Thsi does not convert your device into an unlocked variant.
2. This works whether your bootloader is locked or unlocked. If your bootloader is unlocked, using this tool will lock it again, and you will need to unlock it by flashing unlock_code.bin again.

Thank you!
I read an article that was bit unclear and pointed to this so I wanted to confirm.
Also, from everything else I gathered, there is still no way to flash Tmob variant with non Tmob rom?
I was interested to try LineageOS but that's not available also seems like.
Phone's too new still. I think we need the MSM Tools for all the variants available before someone can figure out how to flash one variant into another, and we currently only have the T-Mobile variant's MSM Tools.

incoming August 176 patch
I have update installed.
You can use restore image on Magisk uninstall before you start. If you encounter problem, you can use original boot image and run "mock patch"
Install update and switch to Magisk when you're prompted to restart, and let Magisk to install in unused partition, and restart after finished
If you have problem with CTS after update, install riru from Magisk and download safetynet fix, and install in Magisk as well (you have to reboot twice)
I've successful restored my N200 phone several times using the MSM, but this most recent time it appears the process was interrupted and I get the following error when turning on the phone. I can not boot the phone back into EDL mode to run MSM tool again. Every 10 or so boots the phone will boot into fastboot instead of throwing the error. I tried flashing a backed up boot.img and super.img, but no luck getting past the error. Any way to recover?
automatic ddr failed
Thank you! I could only get this to work by:
Unplug phone
Open MSMDownloadTool, don't click start
Hold down volume up and down
Plug phone into USB 2.0 port
Release volume up and down, verify device shows up as QDLOADER in Device Manager
Click "Enum" in MSMDownloadTool
Click on the device in the list and click "Start"
I got bootloader unlock code. I need SIM unlock "One Plus Nord N200 5G" by Metro. Help me!

I bricked my phone late last night and found this forum & thread; my problem was that each time my computer kept showing my phone as "Kedacom" until I scrolled through and found this post.
You guys saved my ass AND saved me a trip to T-Mobile too! I owe you guys big time!
I successfully flashed a metro-pcs device using the tool in this thread. I bricked my device using the dsu loader in developer options. "Oem unlocking" is greyed out. Can anyone point me to a good bootloader unlocking tutorial for this devicel? Is it possible to use this tool with a rom that has already been rooted? Thanks,
Noob here. One thing to note: device was not recognized in the beginning. I held vol up/down at the same time and then plugged in device. Although the screen was black, the device was shown as "connected" and had no issues flashing. After 300 secs, voila!

You can try this tutorial. It worked for me on Tmobile, no idea about MetroPCS. Key line is
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.qualcomm.qti.uim
MSMDownloadTool wipes the entire device and relocks the bootloader if it was unlocked, it doesn't care if you're rooted.

I tried downloading something in my developer options and it seemed to work, but when my phone restarted I got a message saying, "your device is corrupt. It Can't be trusted and will not boot". The message seems to be in some sort of boot loop, (keeps restarting with the same message). Is there any way I can fix this without sending my phone in to One Plus? I purchased the phone inside of a Metro store.

If your phone is from T-Mobile or Metro, check out this forum post to recover your phone: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4324431/
If your phone was factory unlocked, contact OnePlus for a repair. The easiest way to tell if your phone is a carrier device or not is to check the back of the phone. If there's an IMEI engraved on the back of the phone, it's a T-Mobile or Metro phone. If there's not IMEI engraver, its factory unlocked.
I think what you used was the DSU Loader.
If I recall earlier posts in this forum correctly, you need to Bootloader Unlock your phone before messing with DSUs, or you will brick your phone.
As Izgmc said, you'll need to use the MSM Download Tools in the thread he linked to fix your phone, assuming you have the T-Mobile or Metro versions; or to contact OnePlus support if you have the factory unlocked variant.

Yeah that was it! Lesson learned. Thank you!
Thats how I managed to mess up my phone and is currently bricked for several months .. no msmdownload for the unlocked .. please try and get a remote session with the oneplus tech guys .. and share if possible
Hold up a second here. If you have tried to relock the bootloader (which will result in the device is corrupt and will not boot message) try this:
Hold down all 3 buttons (Vol+ Vol- and power) for about 8 seconds or so. As soon as the device vibrates quickly release the power button. When you do, the device should be in fastboot. If you are in fastboot you should now be able to connect it to the PC and type the command fastboot oem unlock. This will now attempt to unlock the bootlaoder. Chances are you have previously unlocked the bootloader and have attempted to relock it. Doing so will cause this error message on the UNLOCKED version of the device.
This will wipe the data but return the device to an unlocked state but not completely bricked on stock firmware. Go through the normal prompts to start the device and you should be good.
Remember, if you have fastboot its not COMPLETELY bricked. Not yet anyways.
I had this happened on my OnePlus Nord 200 5g literally the next day after I got it from Metro at T-Mobile. Phone updated as it should but restarted with the same message you received. They tried to accuse me of putting a virus on the phone which did not make any sense and after going through insurance who couldn't accept the claim for "software damage" ... I contacted one plus and had them remote view my laptop with downloaded tar files and had a technician try to reinstall them back to its original factory condition but to no luck. Metro being a franchise company, has the loophole not accepting returned merchandise even under the return policy stated on the receipt, and customer service technically has no control or power over any particular franchise Metro store. I suggest the only answer I had after 2 weeks of frustration from contacting everyone I possibly could to writing corporate, I finally had a CSR tell me to just get a warranty exchange at any Metro store in which I did in two days later I received a new phone which actually works this time so I would suggest just doing the warranty exchange in order to get yourself a workable phone. Hope that helps. \m/

I did this exact thing. Mine is the oem unlocked variant. Is contacting oneplus support still the only option? It's on the metro/tmobile network if that matters. I really fcked up here with dsu loader. Pretty desperate right now for a fix. Please.

Thanks, I downloaded msm tools and there are msm tools included in https://www.terabox.com/web/share/link?surl=7fjfMJSEcdl5zCjPT92IKA
for
dre8t_10_O.05_210713.tar.bz2 -can someone point me to the stock firmware I should be using msmtools error device not match image. Can I use the ~3gb ota zips?
Taking a break and then going to look for a guide for MSM tools.
edit - as an additional point of confusion, my bootloader was unlocked, I was rooted with magisk patched upstream boot.img. Did this happen because I did not know about uninstalling magisk and installing magiosk to the inactive slot? My bootloader is still unlocked, but flashing boot backups etc does not get me out of fastboot loop, and unable to verify boot image error when I try to fastboot boot twrp or orangefox.
You're past the point I can help with, maybe someone else has some more advice for you?
Thanks. And technical support turns out is the only way and sending it in is the only way for the oem unlocked version. I requested a remote session and ended up being told the files aren't working so they can't do a remote session. If they arent working how are they going to flash my device lol...who knows.
Superspecialgueststar,
The released MSM tool is only for the carrier variant and cannot be used for the unlocked variant. There is cryptographic security in place to restrict its use.
You can still fix your unlocked device, just use an unbrick guide for the unlocked version.
[GUIDE] How to unbrick your Nord N200 5G (ALL VARIANTS) or switch bootable slot (REQUIRES UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER)
I've seen alooot of issues lately of people "bricking" their Nord N200's without a method of unbricking (at the time of writing, only T-Mobile variant has MSMTool) I've noticed a reoccurring theme. i myself am guilty of doing it and not...

or use my unbrick experience and advice
Un-bricking my Nord N200
Don't ask me why, but I tried to upload a GSI using fastboot to my N200. And that didn't work. So I then read online about other people getting the same error I had, and their fix was deleting the "product" partition and erasing the system...
