OnePlus 13T Firmware / Partition Dump: Overview & Technical Guide
A full firmware dump or partition backup for the OnePlus 13T (Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite platform — Model identifiers: <span>PKX110</span>, <span>CPH2723</span>) consists of extracted low-level disk partitions essential for emergency recovery, servicing, and rooting.What Is It Used For?
- Emergency Unbricking (EDL 9008): Restoring devices from hard-brick, corrupted bootloader, or 9008 mode states using raw partition images (xbl, abl, boot, super).
- Rooting via Magisk / KernelSU: Extracting the stock init_boot.img partition to patch the kernel image without flashing an entire OS update.
- Bootloop & Dynamic Partition Repair: Restoring corrupt dynamic super blocks (system, vendor, product, system_ext) or boot chain components via FastbootD.
- Baseband & Partition Calibration Recovery: Preserving device-specific identifiers like modem calibration and partition layout profiles (ocdt, qcn) during firmware cross-flashing or regional conversions.
Tools Used for Flashing
- Android SDK Platform-Tools (Fastboot / FastbootD): Used for partition-level flashing over standard fastboot interfaces when the bootloader is unlocked.
- Payload Dumper Utilities (payload-dumper-go): For extracting individual partition .img files directly from official OTA payload.bin containers.
- Oplus Flash Tool / QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader): Used for low-level Emergency Download (EDL) flashing via Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 interface.
How to Flash / Restore Partitions
Critical Partition WarningDo not cross-flash device-unique partitions (such as modemst1, modemst2, fsg, or ocdt) from another phone's dump, as this can permanently erase device IMEI, calibration data, and baseband configurations.
Method 1: Fastboot & FastbootD Flashing (Unlocked Bootloader)
- Reboot to Fastboot:
Bash:adb reboot bootloader
Verify detection: Run fastboot devices. The serial number must appear. - Flash Critical Boot Images (Root or Unbrick):
-
Bash:
fastboot flash boot boot.img fastboot flash init_boot init_boot.img fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
Verify: The command prompt will output OKAY [ X.XXs ] followed by Finished..- Flash Logical Images via FastbootD:
Once in FastbootD mode on the device screen, flash logical system images:Bash:adb reboot bootloader
Verify: The device reboots cleanly into the setup wizard or system launcher.Bash:fastboot flash boot boot.img fastboot flash init_boot init_boot.img fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
Method 2: Qualcomm EDL Mode (QDLoader 9008 Flashing)
- Prepare Drivers & Environment:
- Install Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 drivers on Windows.
- Put Device into EDL Mode:
- Power off the phone.
- Hold Volume Up + Volume Down simultaneously and insert the USB cable connected to the PC.
- Verify: Check Windows Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT) to confirm Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COMx) is detected.
- Write Raw Program / Dump via Tool:
- Load the extracted rawprogram/patch files or firmware container into the Oplus authorized flash tool or QFIL.
- Click Download / Flash and wait for the write process to complete.
- Verify: The flashing tool reports Download Finished / Process Completed Successfully before disconnecting.
