Automatic Detection of DDR Failed: MSM Download Tool Fix

In this guide, we will show you the steps to fix the Automatic Detection of DDR Failed error in the MSM Download Tool. OnePlus has always been the go-to choice for tech enthusiasts due to the plethora of ROMs and tweaks that it gets blessed with. This happens due to the fact that its unbrick tool is readily available both to the developers as well as the public [well, at least till the 9th series and maybe for the 11th as well].

However, the tool tends to occasionally hit a few roadblocks as well. While we have already documented the likes of Sahara Communication and Stuck in Param Preload, a new issue has just made its way. Recently I was trying to unbrick my device and after installing the EDL Drivers, the MSM Tool showed the device as connected.

But when I hit the Start button, the MSM Download Tool straightaway displayed the Automatic Detection of DDR Failed error message. To resolve it, I tried a few basic MSM tweaks but they didn’t spell out success. What ultimately worked out was one of the strangest or rather most interesting tweaks that we have come across. So without further ado, let’s make you aware of the same.
