@rbhawk I managed to install then stock Android/Oxygen 9.0.8 with MSM Download in EDL mode (lowest hardware recovery mode) with this tutorial : https://www.thecustomdroid.com/oneplus-6-6t-unbrick-guide/
To start the 6 or 6T in EDL mode, set off the device and plug the USB while pressing volume + and -
The only caveat is... MSM Download runs on Windows.
