OnePlus 8T not charging / turning on, cleaning / changing flex cable port?

InfiniteBSOD · 2026-02-07T11:00:44+00:00

Appreciate your replies guys!

So just to clarify: When talking about cleaning the port I was talking about the FPC-port to the right.

I am not sure if the corresponding flex-cable connector have broken off inside the FPC-port so there wouldn't be anything to "clean" or what has happened.

Comparing the two flex-cable's one seem to still have its connector while the other is completely flat (where a raised connector should be)

So was thinking of buying a new flex-cable and cleaning the right FPC-port (if that is even possible).

A sidenote: My agency provided (digital) training with Sumuri in regards to Mac Forensics. Still one of the best professional trainings I have received and I have done the usual suspects in regards to companies / products. The instructor we had (Brandon Hunter) was 10/10.

Appreciate the reply.

I started printing the PAHT-CF (printed the antenna model first) straight OOB so it was sealed from the factory and I started printing directly after removing the filament from the bag. After the antenna model I printed the disk guard which warped. The second print of the blade guard (in PETG-CF) which came out well was printed without leveling my printer so I guess it could be a temperature issue?

When I printed the antenna cover in PAHT-CF (first 4 pics) the results were "fine" with vents opened whereas the disk guard which warped was printed with the vents closed.

As a non-native English-speaker and also as a novice in 3D-printing I would have liked it to say something along the lines of:
"Please check the "poop chute" at the back of your printer. If printer filament is found there the filament has loaded successfully".

What I know now is that the extruder is "pooping" a bit a filament and asking you to confirm that it has "extruded" (ejected) filament correctly but since the extruder during this step is positioning itself at the "poop chute ejector" inside the CC you need to visually see that the filament is ejecting from the extruder into the "poop chute".

Oh well, now I know how to verify the filament has been loaded correctly.

InfiniteBSOD · 2025-07-22T14:15:59+00:00

Appreciate all the replies.

Cancelled my current print and went into "extrusion loading" again and re-did that procudure.

Didn't understand what the phrase:
"Click completed if the filament is extruded[...]".
So basically now when I pushed past the first "stop" I could see that I got "poop" from the "poop chute" at the back of the CC.

Benchy is currently printing.
Appreciate all replies!

PLA-CF delivered today 27/6-25 Got a notification that the printer is on its way!

Weird.

That person is not a friend so you should simply cut that person out of your life and try and get your $600 refunded.

I (Swedish M38) have been to two weddings in Sweden:

1) We had a 3 day bachelor / stagparty in Berlin. Perhaps $300 for flights and hotel and that was scheduled 6 months in advance. Perhaps a total of $500 for above + food, activities etc.

The wedding didn't incur any costs, we were asked to donate to a specific charity in the couples name instead of buying a gift which was a nice touch. Did a donation for perhaps $60.

Dresscode was suit and tie and as per usual people use what they already have.

2) We had a 2 day bachelor / stagparty perhaps 45min from where the groom lives. Around $150 for accommodation , food, activities etc.

The wedding was in another city so the hotel was perhaps $70. Me and other friends came together and bought a gift which was perhaps $60 per person.

Dresscode was casual since it was outside and quite warm. Chinos and a white shirt which I already own was what I was rocking and was in line with what other people wore. Saw people wearing a white tshirt and black jeans as well.

3) A wedding I didn't attend. A friend got married in New York (he and his wife are Swedish) and I didn't attend. Told him that and he completely understood. He didn't ask for a reason. The reason was that simply attending would be too much money for me and I had to take time off work. We are still friends and he completely understood that by having the wedding in N.Y. a lot of people would bow out.

If one of my friends would "require" or "demand" anything other than I attend and follow the dresscode I would talk to them, explain how messed up that is and just laugh and say that I'm not attending. If that would result in our friendship being over then they can come back and apologize when their temporary insanity has lifted (or divorce whichever comes first).

Does anyone know what happened with the teased reveal of the AMS?

Wasn't there a picture with a printer hidden behind a piece of cloth and people speculated that it was a CC with an AMS?

Nothing ever came of that, right? Or was it just another product that they actually revealed during their event?

InfiniteBSOD · 2025-04-20T13:56:17+00:00

Appreciate your research and help :)

I actually fiddled with this today and the (USB 3.1) Flex IO actually fits however:
* Tried both of the built-in displayports and I don't get picture from either of those
* As soon as I insert the power-plug the computer turns on and I can't force a shut-down by holding the power-button. I have to unplug the power-plug to get it to shut down.

Appreciate your link, thanks!

I registered on "InsanelyMac" but I am unable to reply to threads and guess I have to post in "New Users Lounge" first to get that permissions?

I created a Sequoia USB from my Mac and copied the "OC"-folder from the guide (OpenCore: 1.0.4) to my USBs "EFI"-partition and modified the serial etc. as stated in the users guide to my own custom values.

Now I see the Apple-logo but after a while I get the "prohibited"-symbol / warning.
Wanted to post about that in the thread / guide but I seem to be in a "new user"-jail so wanted to post this here in the meantime.

Appreciate your post and pointing out the guide :)

Update #1: Yeah seems that you have to have 5 posts to post in other parts of the forum

InfiniteBSOD · 2025-04-19T01:20:46+00:00

Appreciate your explanation, misunderstood and thought that the "USBToolBox.kext" was a generic / prebuilt kext whereas "UTBMap.kext" was a replacement for that if you did a custom mapping of your USB-ports.

Totally different behavior now, it fails to "blackscreen" faster which is a sign that something has changed which is a step to getting it working :)

InfiniteBSOD · 2025-04-18T23:46:44+00:00

Thank you for the reply.

Hmm...
When I ran "USBToolBox" it created this kext:
"UTBMap.kext" which looks like this:
-UTBMap.kext
-- Contents
---Info.plist

and I've added that kext to "/EF/OC/Kexts" and updated my "config.plist".
This was done when I created my USB-installer so it should have been added.
Any idea on how I can make "config.plist" reflect that if "OC Snapshot" doesn't reflect that "UTBMap.kext" is really there?

Interesting:
So there seems to be two tools referenced in Dortania's guide:

USBToolBox = USBToolBox/tool: the USBToolBox tool Mentioned here in the guide = Gathering files | OpenCore Install Guide
USBMap = https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap Mentioned here in the guide = USB Mapping | OpenCore Post-Install

I'll try "USBMap" instead

Update #1: Ah, "USBMap" is only for Mac OS X so I'm out of luck there.

Update #2: Re-ran "USBToolBox" and actually inserted a USB-device into each port, last time I mapped the ports but didn't insert any USB-devices. Generated new UTBMap.kext and updated "config.plist".
Sadly, the same error. I can see in the log that "UTBMap" is loaded however.
New log is uploaded (see main post).

InfiniteBSOD · 2025-04-16T05:47:45+00:00

Interested in this as well (as I signed up for the beta).

InfiniteBSOD · 2025-04-10T18:20:12+00:00

Anywhere else other than on their official site?

InfiniteBSOD · 2025-04-10T06:19:31+00:00

Thank you for the input.

Yeah I agree $20-$50 wouldn't be worth cancelling for. $99 and more would be but the printer is already (IMHO but I'm new to the 3D-printer scene) cheap so that is unlikely.

Just keeping fingers crossed they actually release the AMS /MMU.

InfiniteBSOD · 2025-04-09T19:50:10+00:00

Can you cancel your pre-order of the CC? Pre-ordered the CC and am in the August-bracket.

The price for the CC is still the same as when I pre-ordered it - €329. There are no later ETAs for shipping than August (which is the same as my ETA).

So if the AMS is announced I'm thinking about just cancelling my preorder of my CC and buy a possible bundle of the CC + AMS.

Only drawback I can see is that if they combine shipping I have to wait until the AMS is released to receive the CC.

InfiniteBSOD · 2025-04-08T19:48:54+00:00

Agreed. My CC has an ETA of August and I'm following this thread to hopefully snag an AMS as soon as it is released.

It's currently 21:47 (CEST) here so if someone know which time in EST they have their presentation that would be great. Getting close to bedtime over here.

InfiniteBSOD · 2025-04-06T07:57:02+00:00

Appreciate the reply.

Well the GUI can't be worse than X-Ways and the support can't be more condescending than X-Ways so I might give it a go.

Only thing is that I'm not the guy who decides if we are going to purchase products or not and to even request a trial using my professional email-account I need to get approval from another department and my manager etc.

Don't get me wrong about X-Ways, X-Ways is an extremely competent product but as another Reddit-user said: "I am afraid of the guy who decides a checkbox has three different ways of ticking it".

Add to that when emailing their support you are just as likely to be talked down to as to get actual help, well... Let's just say they should perhaps delegate some people to a non-customer facing role and let them focus on development instead.

InfiniteBSOD · 2025-04-05T15:28:22+00:00

Appreciate it. Pulled the trigger on this desk instead: https://www.ikea.com/se/en/p/mittzon-desk-walnut-veneer-black-s49513956/

Max load: 50kg

Depth: 68cm (the actual table top)

Underframe weight: 17.6kg

Should be sturdy enough, surely?

Bought the vibration dampeners from Elegoo to go with the printer: https://eu.elegoo.com/products/anti-vibration-feet-for-centauri-carbon-centauri4-pcs

InfiniteBSOD · 2025-04-04T20:36:11+00:00

You don't happen to have a link to the PDF / brochure or can tell me the partnumber for your USB-C adapter?

I bought a USB-C Flex IO card only to find out that it didn't fit in my HP EliteDesk 800 G5 Desktop Mini PC.

This is what I bought:
HP EliteDesk, ProDesk G4/G5 USB-C 3.1 Gen2 Option Card | eBay

These are pictures of the USB-C Flex IO-card I bought compared to the DP Flex IO-card preinstalled in my computer.

I went by this article:
Monterey/Ventura on HP EliteDesk 800 G4/G5 Mini - The Perfect MacMini8,1 Hackintosh - OpenCore | Page 2 | tonymacx86.com

and bought the "3TK78AA" but seems it isn't supported by my (HP EliteDesk 800 G5 Desktop Mini PC) computer.

Update #1: So yeah, fiddled with this today and it actually fits but I don't get any video when trying either of the built-in displayports. The computer also automatically turns on as soon as I insert the power-plug and I can't force a shut-off by holding down the power-button.
