  • Tharun 1 year ago Reply My OnePlus 7t boot loader state is locked. Unfortunately my power button is not working. If i connect power supply/charger, it turns on its own. My ultimate aim is to pull my data back. So how to achieve? Sadique Hassan 1 year ago Reply While you might be able to unbrick it via MSM Download Tool, but saing the data doesn’t seem to be possible. In case, you can access the Fastboot Mode and you are sure that the issue is due to a single partition being corrupted, then simply flash just that partition [such as fastboot flash init_boot init_boot.img] and then reboot to OS [fastboot reboot]. Then connect a USB Mouse to your device and you “might” be able to navigate the device and hence save your data.
