There is a half way house if all you want to do is remove t-mobile bloatware. Perform a hard reset and at the point where it says installing operator customization (quite far through) then stick your stylus in the soft reset hole. With this method you avoid flashing a new ROM and no need for any expertise. If you then don't like the result you just do another hard reset and let it install everything again.

Of course if you are tempted by some of the ROMs noted around here don't let me put you off flashing a completely new ROM:D For this purpose I suggest looking seriously at MrVanx guides.

Sorry it's me again, but I'm still trying to get this damn update on my phone!

I've searched high & low, (probably not enough), but all this lingo is new to me.( and givin' me a headache!) The threads I've read always seem to mention a phone that's been provided by a network (orange,o2 etc), but is a SIM free phone already unlocked 'cos it can take any SIM card form any network?

I still get error 260 & I've checked the ports & it seems fine to me, but obviously it isn't. So where do I go from here on the Vista I have? I've used a neighbours XP & it was the same there.

Can anyone help please?

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] evodon84:
I watched the unboxing video by Tmobile and see that it seems to have some installed TMobile apps. Wonder if we get the TMobile version if it will be possible to flash it back to a stock OP rom instead. TMobile has a pretty good deal on it tbh.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Can we unlock it's Bootloader?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] evodon84:
I would be yes, TMobile is pretty good about things like this. I'm thinking of picking it up on the 1st through TMobile and if they've pulled something funny, I can always just return it.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] no driver:
From what I've picked up so far, the T-Mo version will have one SIM instead of dual SIM and you won't be able to unlock the bootloader until the device is fully paid for. Since I don't have a device to trade in, it is easy for me to just order from OnePlus. If I had an eligible phone though, it would be a harder decision.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] evodon84:
Where did you pick this up from? I do have a device to trade in, $300 for this phone seems like a steal imo considering the trade-in. And honestly the T-Mobile bloat is pretty minimal in my experience. I've got it all uninstalled on my S8+, can't imagine I couldn't do the same on the OP6T.

I'm more concerned w/if I'd be able to get into Google SW beta's w/it like you could w/the OP6.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] synapsesburned:
So, basically, this means that if you're a T-Mo customer and want an unlocked bootloader, you can't take advantage of this trade-in promo at all since it's paid out in bill credits over the 24 month finance period and the bootloader won't be unlockable until the end of those 2 years. That's unfortunate / seems to needlessly spite a meaningful segment of their target audience.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] davehasninjas:
I haven't heard that about the bootloader and payment plan, any source? I have read that the phone will be carrier locked until it's payed off, but that's totally different from the bootloader, and pretty par for the course. My current Z2 Force is still on a payment plan, but I unlocked the bootloader the day I got it. Would really turn me off from this device if I can't unlock the bootloader.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] evodon84:
wtf lol, well that sucks tbh. Not that I've even unlocked a bootloader in years but I just want to be able to flash the stock rom not the Tmobile version.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Xpargas:
Does anyone know if you can just pay off the phone immediately instead of paying monthly? Would you just pay the $280 or would you have to pay the full price and then get a $12.50 ($300/24) credit every month?

I've never bought a phone from a carrier so I have no idea how it works.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] AhsanU:
I'm one of the people that was about to go buy it from OnePlus directly, but the line is absolutely massive right now. The T-Mobile store in Times Square has it but this bootloader thing.. I don't know.

I will be paying outright for it, it's not a problem.. I'm just wondering if I can flash the same ROM's as the normal OnePlus version? Will they be two completely different phones? I don't think so, but I'm also not 100% sure. I don't mind T-Mobile bloat but I just want to be able to flash ROM's eventually.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] bp328i:
According to this the T-Mobile version is a little different than the one directly from OnePlus.

https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t-t-mobile-verizon-america-united-states/

Below is copied straight from the post.

"T-Mobile’s OnePlus 6T Model

The device you buy from T-Mobile isn’t 100% the same as the one you buy from OnePlus.com. The T-Mobile model is single-SIM while the unlocked version is dual-SIM compatible. Also, if you finance the device from T-Mobile, you will be unable to unlock the bootloader until you pay off the device. After you pay off the device, you are free to unlock the bootloader by using this form."

I will be buying straight from OnePlus.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] AhsanU:
I'm headed to Times Square now let's see how bad the queues are.

I spoke to a OnePlus customer representative and she told me that the TMobile variant is the same model, but just has the dual SIM feature disabled. But they are the same model.

I don't know how accurate it is but I'm getting a 6T either way today. If the TMobile version ends up being different, I can return it within 30 days since I'm a business customer.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Thanks for the clarification, looks like I will order directly as well...
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] LuCaniTy:
Is the 256GB model from oneplus have the new 600Mhz band?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] evodon84:
yeah the wrinkle I see is that if you trade in and TMobile give you a credit over two years and you pay it off early does that count or does it take the full 2 years b/c of the credit

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

well RIP, the credits get applied each month to the balance so the amount due at the start will be the full price, not the "reduced" price.

Hi all, I've sold my 900a and I'm trying to factory reset it through the settings menu. Unfortunately when I get to the 'delete all' screen it then asks me to create a new password / pin.

Why?!! I'm resetting it, why would I want to add a password? There is no way around this screen and I don't want to add a password to the device if I'm about to give it to someone else.

Please help!

Bit late to answer, but if you haven't already worked out how to reset your SM-G900A (AT&T)

you should be able to do it by going in to RECOVERY mode on your phone and selecting reset

from the list of options.

Good Luck!

I have seen where when I get a SMS from a specific person it goes to the wrong contact conversation....it seems to only happen with one person I think but it has happened often. This is using the default Messages app. Has anyone else seen this.

Also on notifications. I see that there are some apps that I am not getting notifications from I have checked the setting in the app and the phone settings and it appears that I should be getting them. Thoughts?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] LSUtrumpet316:
I figured out the SMS issue was an issue with the data transfer. Seems to me that they wouldn't offer that thorough of a transfer if it could mess it up like that. I cleared the app data for the Messages app and now it works fine. I suspect the notification might be something similar.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Atomix96:
Mine has a similar issue but it was a fresh setup. I receive no heads up notifications from any app and everything is set properly. Unfortunately I'll have to do a restore to see if that resolves it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] SPI_2gether:
Hi Everyone,

Requesting some help for an issue that I am facing with my galaxy watch. Not able to receive ONLY what's app notifications on the watch. All other app notifications work fine ( Messages, emails, weather or any other app that gives me notifications ) works good.

1. Looked for all settings related to notifications on the phone and watch. All look fine unless I have missed out something important related to whats app.

2. Reset the gear watch but that didn't help either

3. Uninstalled and reinstalled what's app just to make sure but that didn't work too.

Running out of ideas and looking for suggestion please.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] pkylle:
I expect you have checked the Galaxy Wearable settings menu entry notifications list of apps and found (or not found) the What's app ?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] SPI_2gether:
Hey,

Yes, I have and notifications for what's app is enabled in the list of apps but I still don't get notifications. Any other suggestion?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] srujanchinni:
just select all apps in notifications.. then u will receive whatsapp notofication aswell
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] SPI_2gether:
Hi,

Yes, I have selected all apps in notifications and still same issue. I just also noticed that it doesn't work for Facebook notifications too, not too sure if that helps but thought of mentioning it. I have tried all settings possible on the watch and the phone, reset the watch but unfortunately it didn't work.

Working notifications :- Messages, Emails, weather, calls, alarms

Non working :- Facebook, whats app and some other 3rd party apps. I understand that some 3rd party apps may not have native support but ya, thats my current status.

Thank you for trying to help :) and please suggest if any other idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] pkylle:
I assume that you do get notifications on your phone for the apps in question - otherwise, you have to adjust the setting for those. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] SPI_2gether:
Hi,

I had enabled them on the phone but the same issue. Thank you for your time though. Something completely unexpected at least for me that helped me resolve the issue and frankly I don't understand how. So here is how it worked, I am currently travelling and purchased a SIM that I inserted in the primary slot of my phone and the default SIM I always use is in the secondary. I swapped and that resolved my issue. I don't even know if that is related and I should have known about it but thankfully helped me end my worries and some ridiculous amount of time I spent resolving it.

Thank you again. You have a good one !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rbohannon89:
Yes I bought a phone off a friend more acquaintance. It's not stolen or reported lost. It had no sim card nor micro sd card inside it was hard rest when I bought it. I can not get passed Google sign in. I typed my email over and over again nothing I accepted the device on my email alerts. I called Google to ask what can be done they said take to AT&T. I called AT&T explained again what the problem was. They said nothing they can do on there side take it to retail store they can crack it for me. So I took it to the store they looked at me like I was stupid. Left now on here hoping there is a solution. I called the company who made it they ran again the IMEI code again obviously same result not stolen nor lost. They can't help me they wanted m e to pay for shipping it in to where ever for a repair they claimed lol.

Other things I tried multiple hard resets clear cache. Same result. I tried even putting in a working sim card AT&T that I bought for it try clicking use the AT&T network to get the process started same result can't get past Google older email protection. I can not ask the dude I bought off for his password nor his gmail. Due to he uses yahoo. Now only and doesn't remember any of the sign in info.

Hi,

Somehow I managed to forget my screenlock pattern (freshly changed) on my OnePlus 5T and it seems like my enrolled fingerprints are useless now. I need some help to recover access to my phone (preferably without factory reset).

This is the current situation of my phone:

- Phone Rooted

- TWRP Custom Recovery

- USB Debugging enabled

- WiFi On/Data and GPS OFF

- Currently logged in with my google account on the phone, but can't access it over the google account (i kind of disabled history and other features in my google acc).

- Also "Unknown Sources" is enabled on my phone.

If there is any way to recover the password via ADB, or to unlock the Data, that would be just awesome...

Thanks for any help.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] BenisMusical:
Hey Bud,

I had a similar issue when I restored a nandroid backup and the password had been glitched so that I couldn't sign into my phone anymore.

Anyways here's a shortened version of a solution I found here: https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/fix-wrong-pin-pattern-when-restoring-twrp-nandroid-backup.452384/

1. Boot into TWRP

2. Open the file manager inside of TWRP and delete (or rename - they get restored whenever the phone is booted so deleting them does no harm) the following files inside "/data/system":

-password.key

-pattern.key

-locksettings.db-wal

-locksettings.db-shm

-locksettings.db

(they might not all be there but whichever ones you can find, delete/rename)

3. Reboot your phone and you should no longer have any kind of pin/pattern on your lockscreen

4. Re-setup your password and don't forget it this time! :D

Hope this helps :good:
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] derei:
Hi, thanks.

I've been checking that post, but something didn't quite match. The following files are available on my phone ( /data/system):

-gatekeeper.password.key

-gatekeeper.pattern.key

-locksettings.db-shm

-locksettings.db

-locksettings.db-wal

So, as you can see, there are two files with the "gatekeeper" prefix. Are those two supposed to be also deleted (renamed)? Did you have them when you did your fix?

Thanks.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] BenisMusical:
Hey man,

When I fixed my issue I didn't touch those - worst comes to worst just rename the files that were on the list I gave and leave the other 2. If it doesn't work then you can try renaming the files you found from my list as well as the two you have highlighted in red.

Give that a try :)
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] derei:
Just did the steps (including the gatekeeper. prefixed files) - I just renamed them, so I can revert back. Indeed I was able to get my phone unlocked, but everything is blank. Only a wallpaper, status bar and Nav Bar. No apps, no app drawer, nothing. I can access the Settings, but that doesn't help much... (except that I can set a new password).

Going in Settings -> Apps, shows me all the apps, which is good. But I can't see them on screen.

Also, the following are happening:

- Settings -> Apps -> Defaults: Nothing set up for "Home App". And there is a blank grey menu when I click on it.

- Settings -> Apps -> Application List -> OnePlus Launcher: clicking on Open By Default, crashes the Settings Menu.

Is it possible that I did something wrong here?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] BenisMusical:
Possibly?

When I followed the method in the link in my previous post I had no issues - I just had to setup a new lock method.

It may have been the gatekeeper files - when I did this method previously I didn't touch those as I didn't know they were there :confused:

Do you have a backup from TWRP by any chance that you could restore?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] derei:
Restored the gatekeeper files, but no success. Same behaviour. I have a backup, but is only a "initial backup" - sort of how the phone was at first. I was too dumb to do a backup after I set up everything.

It seems my only way now would be to do a factory reset and lose all data.

Unless there would be a way to recover the password from the database? I know is encrypted and salted, but that salt also has to be stored somewhere... maybe there would be a way to revert that hash into a pattern? grr, this is extremely frustrating.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] BenisMusical:
I apologise for possibly making matters worse whilst trying to help but this is beyond my understanding of TWRP's capabilities :confused:

It might be worth restoring your previous backup even if it is blank and then setting up your phone again. During the setup choose an option that should be something like: "Restore from the cloud" which will allow google to restore most of your app data. However, your internal storage will be completely wiped :( . Once that's all good and setup then definitely make a backup - it's a good habit to get into and will save you a lot of hassle in future.

I don't know if there's anything else I can suggest you to do,

hope this doesn't take up too much time - I personally know how infuriating it is to spend hours on something when there's no easy solution. You'd be better starting from a clean flash of OOS.

Sorry, there's nothing else I can think of to help you out :(

Best of luck bud.

I would like to flash a custom rom into my 4C so I searched a way to unlock the bootloader in a safe way.

But there is so much mixed information. At first honor was providing unlocking service, then shut it down, then they started it again just for xda and then I went to that form there and it says it no longer accepts any requests.

So my question is, is it currently possible to unlock the Honor 4C bootloader or not?

Maybe you need to shower your whole Universal Motherboard & all hardware parts with WD40. Don't worry it does'nt hurts anything, & make sure you don't use any static current equipment to wash that WD40.

Don't clean WD40 with any cloth, cotton or any ear bud or anything else.

Just let it dry & absorb by itself for 2-3 hrs & then turn your unit ON.
