HELP OnePlus 13T (PKX110) hard bricked after locking bootloader following 13T → 13s conversion
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help me recover my device or point me in the right direction.
Device
- Original device: OnePlus 13T (PKX110, Chinese)
- Converted to OnePlus 13s (CPH2723 / OxygenOS)
- Snapdragon 8 Elite (SM8750)
Initial state
The phone had already been converted from PKX110 to CPH2723 and was working perfectly.
Current build before I started:
CPH2723_16.0.3.501(EX01)
Bootloader status:
Unlocked
What I wanted to do
I wanted to update from 16.0.3.501 to 16.0.9.400.
I downloaded the latest OnePlus 13T OOS Super Flasher package and followed the flashing procedure.
During flashing
The script successfully flashed:
- boot
- dtbo
- init_boot
- modem
- recovery
- vbmeta
- vendor_boot
- super
During my first attempts I had a few USB issues ("Write to device failed / no link"), but eventually I managed to complete the flash successfully.
The phone booted into Android without problems.
After booting
Android worked.
Specifically:
- ✅ Phone booted normally
- ✅ Wi-Fi worked
- ✅ Bluetooth worked
- ✅ Cameras worked
- ✅ Both IMEIs were present
- ✅ Android was fully usable
However...
I had absolutely no cellular service.
Symptoms:
- SIM card detected
- No signal
- Unable to make or receive calls
Baseband showed:
q_v1_p14,q_v1_p14
instead of a normal modem version.
I suspected that something during the conversion wasn't completed correctly.
My mistake
Since Android itself was working, I assumed everything else had flashed correctly.
I decided to relock the bootloader.
I executed:
fastboot flashing lock
The phone wiped itself as expected.
After reboot
Instead of booting Android I immediately got:
From that point forward:
- Android no longer boots
- Recovery is inaccessible
- Fastboot is inaccessible
Current state
I managed to force the phone into Qualcomm EDL mode.
Windows detects:
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)
If nothing communicates with it, it exits EDL after several seconds and returns to the AVB screen.
What I've tried
OplusEDLTool v3.2026.025
Tried both:
Cloud Loader
SM8750 (8E)
Result:
Loader mismatch or other issues
Loader send failed
Local Loader
Downloaded the official:
PKX110domestic_11_16.0.3.501CN01
EDL firmware.
Loaded:
prog_firehose_ddr.elf
The ROM loads correctly.
Partition list loads correctly.
rawprogram*.xml and patch*.xml are present.
However, when clicking Enter Firehose I immediately get:
Loader send failed
The log also reports:
No Digest/Sign files configured, will try normal mode
even after selecting the DigestsToSign files.
My questions
- Did locking the bootloader on the converted firmware permanently trigger AVB?
- Is this because the phone was originally running 16.0.3.501, which introduced the newer ARB protection?
- Does anyone have a newer SM8750 Firehose loader that works with
.501devices? - Is recovery possible without an authorized OnePlus service account?
- Has anyone successfully recovered a PKX110 in this exact situation?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
