However, if you are among the tech enthusiast, then you might find solace in the fact that custom development still has a lot to offer. But with the tenth iteration, this domain also got messed up big time. Up until the OnePlus 9 series, even if your device ended up in a hard-bricked state, you could easily bring it back to life by flashing the OFP firmware via MSM Download Tool. However, beginning with the OnePlus 10 series, the MSM Tool is now in the hands of Oppo and it requires an authorized login to access. In short- they don’t want you to repair your device yourself because you will be cutting short on their revenue. With that said, there have been a few developments going on, and as of now, we have an MSM Tool as well as a method to bypass the login. However, you might still not be able to log in to it because the flashing process requires an authorized token from Oppo. But we would find a workaround for that as well, sooner than later. In the meantime, let’s make you aware of numerous methods to boot your OnePlus 10/Pro/10R/10T to EDL Mode.
