What's up with persist? No output or not getting flashed? Has anyone run it manually?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
Doesn't seem like anything that needs TWRP is flashing to the partitions whether that's a good or bad thing remains to be seen since we have no clue what could brick our devices when flashing those partitions.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00177:
Edit. I misread. Thanks for the guide..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ahrion:
Does this actually give us 2 IMEIS?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
No. It's the same imei on both slots.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Krunk_Kracker:
Will this work with 9.0.5?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Yes. He state's in the OP that he used 9.0.5.

It currently works with 9.0.4 and 9.0.5.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] dchurch85:
Is there any commands we can use to do flash-all-partitions.bat? My Mac doesn't recognize terminal as a program that can open the .bat file
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Open the bat, it references 3 other bats, open those bat files in order (as text files, or just rename them .txt).

Just copy paste each line into terminal and run them that way.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] dchurch85:
Thank you!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
May be able to make a sh script for terminal.

Can we flash h2os?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] raing:
Thank you so much to everyone involved. I should be receiving my unlock.bin file today and am anxious to get flashing. I have a few questions if anyone knows the answer:

Is the radio/modem working correctly?

If I understand correctly, after following this guide and flashing to 9.0.5 we CANNOT do future OTAs (say to 9.0.6 for example) as they are released. Is this correct?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00177:
Wow, received my token this morning, fired this up and updated. Didn't think it was possible but the update actually made the phone even better.thanks to everyone's pre work in figuring a lot of this out...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] infamousvincci:
Im guessing you are still on 9.0 tmobile firmware.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] coolmaster121:
Oh, that's pretty lame.

I also just noticed that TMobile version is missing the motion background and chrome has a home page set to some T-Mobile one...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzmanj1:
Ah okay, yeah just before trading in my Nexus 6, I had a Ntrogen OS logo that would appears when first powered on before the bootanimation. Been running that for a couple years even when I was on android 8.1 for my nexus it had that logo. If you want I can after work today upload the boot logo and send you a link if you would like to look at it?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
U can only remove that warning if u want to be risque and delve deep into aboot and it's a scary place. Don't do it. Us essential devs had to accept it's existence
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] raing:
It has to just be a different launcher.apk, right?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flyinace2000:
Just asked T-Mobile twitter to unlock my phone. Wish me luck!

They approved! I had already paid off 50% of the phone and have been a customer for 5'ish years. Simply told them i wanted to re-flash my phone and said "please".
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
No, it's not. There's more to it. It's the same apk on both systems.

Personally, I just use a different launcher. I've grown accustomed to the Pixel Launcher, so that was one of the first things I did, even when I was using the T-Mobile ROM.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I think there are some bools in the system UI apk that have been modified to accommodate the Google feed for am American market
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] raing:
Hmm, interesting. I wonder if someone would be able to port that over? Maybe a magisk module?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Or have someone just take the UI from our t mobile dump, and the launcher and copy it to privapp and try it
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:

Thank u so much [MENTION=4204048]Dark Nightmare[/MENTION] For such great instructions I just got my unlock codes this morning at 5am and did the process just now unlocked flashed rooted on both of my T-mobile 6t and everything is running good not to mention the fingerprint actually works better for me compared to before

Is anyone else having trouble getting Tmo's Visual Voicemail to work? Mine keeps getting stuck at the activating screen and then fails.

Edit: I'm on 9.0.5
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Y not use built in voicemail?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] OrganicRobot:
The visual VM is just easier to use, it's not a big deal as the rest of the phone is way snappier and smoother that it was with the stock outdated rom.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] raing:
Visual voicemail works fine for me in 9.0.5
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
I'm curious how tho. So the TMobile app for voicemail is easier? I'd like to know cuz I get alot of vm (I hate answering the phone)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] lendawg:
Is there a possibility we will ever be able to unlock our bootloader's and root without TMobile unlocking first, getting the token etc?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] OrganicRobot:
Dare I say it, it makes the VMs appear more like they do in IOS :-X Can easily just listen to/delete each one without calling in.

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

I got it working, apparently it had to do with app permissions, yet the phone wasn't prompting me to allow VVM to have access.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Uh that's built into the stock dialer now. No need for that app....
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] OrganicRobot:
VVM is built into the stock dialer? I have been searching and cannot find it anywhere. I know it was included with the phone when it was still Tmo branded.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanwiggum:
My T-Mobile (locked) 6T doesn't have the VVM in the dialer. When I had my unlocked Oneplus 5, it had VVM built into the stock dialer
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
It's in mine on the stock dialer with a tmo>oos conversion.

It's empty though because I use Google voice. But the tab is there. It was also there when I was stock Tmo.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
You converted? :eek:

Edit:

I must say I'm pretty amazed at how much activity there is for this device, kinda seemed meh on the pixel 2xl forums when I had it so I didn't really get involved, this forum is fun and its really great how everyone's troubleshooting/helping each other without blowing things out of the water, I think I might actually stick to this phone for a while, lol.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] OrganicRobot:
Does yours look different from mine?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Yep. Did it yesterday while at work. No issues at all.

I also cut up my sim card tray to use two sim cards. You can read my results over in the T-Mobile 6t is Dual SIM thread. Works as it should *so far*. Using T-Mobile SIM in slot 1 and AT&T SIM in slot 2.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] _nkay_:
Try removing the TMO VM app

clear the stock dialer app data

Restart phone

Now you'll get an option to toggle VM on/off on the stock dialer setting.

This should bring back the VM tab on stock dialer.

Found this from another thread
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
I do this for the fun of it, lol, definitely appreciate the thought though and I can't take all the credit either, this was and still is a community effort, all I did was centralize the process, there are numerous users like yourself in here helping each other convert/recover/learn/etc. :p
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] dhoang:
Questions for those of you who have flashed 9.0.5 on the T-Mobile variant and been using it for couple of days. I already unlocked my phone BL but on the fence about updating to 9.0.5. My main concern is connection stablility. Do you guys experience any issues with data connection, data speed or any another issues comparing to 9.0.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TJSteveMX:
This post finally made me write something, on my old days of development people asked me for donation link and always responded the same thing. Glad to see good people like you and thanks for the guide, I may use it when I get my code from OnePlus.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] infamousvincci:
No issues on data connection. No drops.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
This is awesome, lol@so far.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] OrganicRobot:
Ok, something weird. I removed the Tmo VVM app, checked the dialer and the stock VM app appeared...but wasn't connecting to my VM inbox.

I then cleared the app data for the dialer and restarted the phone, now the stock VM app is gone again.

Edit: the Stock VM app is there again, but again, cannot activate visual VM.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Uh so far the t-mobile version has the least complaints, I'm actually experiencing better data speeds so far, running a speedtest as we speak, on the tmo rom I got about 25-30 down in my room, I just clocked 42+ back to back...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] _nkay_:
Wow! Both sim cards are active at the same time? Since it's same imei for both slots
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
I just checked/test/even listened to a voicemail on vvm app on the stock dialer, all I needed to do was force close the dialer, works fine for me as well, only apps I've had trouble with are older outdated root based apps, but I hadn't tested them before, so can't definitely say its because of the current OS.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Yep.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] OrganicRobot:
That is awesome! And here I was waiting for my $3 dual sim tray to come from China :P
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
There is a rumour of a sd 845 bootloader exploit, so if its released, yes, otherwise, doubt it, unless we start comparing unlock bins to figure out what the deal is, but then we'd also have figure out how to enable oem unlock, which would require a root exploit as well..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Does the dual 4g option work?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Link? Sure others like myself would love to scoop this us.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Yes, but I'm not really sure what it does. I only get the lte icon next to the antenna icon that's active for default data. I'm not sure of a way to tell. Phone info only shows the network I'm currently connected to for voice.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Ah, I was hoping it would possibly be connected to both networks fully at once, somehow... if you get to flash that persist image, keep us posted on the results please, btw there is no persist image in the international fastboot rom, so are you pulling it from a dump?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
finally in, thanks again guys. no longer regretting this tmobile deal. love me some xda
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Krunk_Kracker:
I did not regret it from the very beginning. I knew it was going to be the exact same hardware as the international version and was only a matter of time to get on international OOS. 9.0.5 is great. TMO really needs to get in gear and release the update, it's so much better than 9.0
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzmanj1:
After waiting a few days I jumped to 9.0.5. I have no issues on T-Mobile.

Also, I only decided to flash because the fastboot flashable tmo stock firmware became available, in the event there was an issue.. I'm happy to report no issues. Everything is actually smoother and faster, even the fingerprint scanner is night and day better.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Unfortunately I'm sure OnePlus devices only represent 1% of their total devices active
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
We'll have to see on that. I know hype among TMO employees was pretty high. The launch event in NYC was pretty good, and in store on launch day it was sold out by the afternoon in my area.

Of course that's no where near iPhone and Galaxy sales, but I bet that number will be decent by Christmas.

For people who actually walk in a store and buy a phone, a reps recommendation can mean a lot. Especially on a phone that's as well priced as the OP6T. And if they decide to have any Black Friday sales, that number can easily get higher.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
True. On a side note I forgot that unlocking the bootloader breaks Google pay SO convicne me why I should root(will root affect future update via fastboot flash?)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Just install magisk. Google pay works no problems.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Krunk_Kracker:
Can verify, Bootloader unlock + Magisk and Google Pay works fine for me
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
Me too. In fact used it 5 minutes ago at the grocery store
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Magiak is root? I haven't rooted since my Nexus 6 days.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kirschdog1:
Yo if I'm rooted on T-Mobile 9.0.0 do I need to unroot first before I fastboot the 9.0.5 international rom?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Magisk is like root, root hide, and Xposed all in one thing.

Its seemless root, it will hide root from apps and will pass safetynet, and you can install modification modules with it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] infamousvincci:
I usually do unroot before flash anything on top of it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] free4flight:
Agreed, mine flashed and rooted last night, lovin the phone and thanks again to all who helped out, especially Nightmare. I needed to have root due to Pie not allowing phone recording. I have it now and its great. Loving 9.0.5 over 9.0 too. Very smooth and very fast. :good:
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] DAVECGC:
Try Jo=OnePlus (tools) from playstore. Works without Root.

It activates native call recording in Android Pie (Record button in dialer once call in process).

My understanding that call recorders such as total_recall and ACR will not work in PIE.

I have found it works well but sometimes I need to restart the call recorder
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] free4flight:
Yes, went through that, Pie shut me down and I need it for work, coaching calls/conferences. I used a Module found in Magisk called OOS Native Call Recording and it work just like that, record button showed up on dialer and I tested it, works fantastic. I rooted with One Plus Rooter. Its done... thanks for the info tho... :)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SourPower:
Yay worked perfectly and away with the carrier branding crap! thanks again for making this guide and your time, you did a great job!!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] MisterSugoi:
Hey I was wondering, do I need to extract the OOS 9.0.5 Full into my phones folder and run the flashall bat from there? or do I extract all the files to a folder on my desktop and run the flashall bat from there?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SourPower:
No you can extract everything (all the zips(within the main zip) into 1 folder on your desktop and once you get into fast boot run the "flash-all-partitions-fastboot.bat" from the PC (with your phone connected in fastboot) it'll take about 4-10 mins or so before it is complete. First boot took about 1-2 minutes before the start up screen came on.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] MisterSugoi:
Thanks so much for the quick and clear reply <3
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Demonface.24:
all the details on doing this would be on the main page of this thread, right ? first time messing around with a oneplus device so I want to make sure I understand what has to be done before I do anything.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
No, but it's simple.

Boot into fastboot mode.

fastboot boot twrp.img

Click on adb sideload button in twrp.

adb sideload magisk.zip

Reboot and then install the magisk manager.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
The one plus rooter actually does all of this them for them, hence the recommendation.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Demonface.24:
I just got my token to unlock my bootloader so I have to do that then go from there . Now I gotta find the guide on how to do that .
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] dhoang:
Thank you all for the responses. Will flash 9.0.5 now. Wish me luck ?.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] raing:
Doesn't matter. Just follow all the steps. The fastoot flash completely wipes the phone so the room you were coming from or the state of it (rooted or not) doesn't matter.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] feezler:
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I don't want to brick my device. Can I extract this all into one folder outside the adb folder or does this have to be all in the adb folder? Also if I post a picture of my folder can someone verify it looks okay?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] free4flight:
Extract everything into one folder and it does not have to be the ADB folder because it comes with the ADB executable as long as you've already installed the ADB drivers on your system, you can just extract everything into the same exact folder and be sure to unzip also the two zip files within the ROM zip file, into the exact same folder and then just double click on the bat and you're good to go.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] feezler:
Thank you ! I will give it a go here soon.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Thanks. Will this wipe anything? Already set up 9.0.5 and ready to go, would rather not wipe.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SourPower:
Rooting with the app did not wipe anything extra for me. It boots into twrp for a bit and then into system with magisk installed
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nory82688:
Hey all. I'm about to dive head first into this (got my unlock. Bin a few hours ago) , and happened to notice that the 9.0.4 and 9.0.5 files that are linked don't say "full rom" in the name, but they're both about a 1.9gbs file size. I assume those are the correct files that you can fastboot flash ? Just want to be sure. I'd rather not soft brick on my first flash with this phone lol. (Although I made sure to download the T-Mobile 9.0 fastboot rom just in case.)

Thanks!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Filename says it's yes, when you unzip make sure it has the images.zip file inside
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] feezler:
Do my folders look right? Just want to make sure!!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Did the magisk install. Now what. It's just and app and says install. What do I click. Sorry for all not a noob just new to magisk
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] contesauce:
I have been following this thread since it was opened and I don't recall seeing this happen yet. I got my bin unlock code today, everything went smooth. I ran the fastboot bin unlock as well as fastboot oem unlock. Phone rebooted to fresh "Start" screen like it should, however, when I got to the hold down power and volume +/- it went to black screen and now I can't get it to boot or anything.

When I plug it into my computer I can hear the USB tone that recognizes a device, but I can't get any kind of response from the phone now. I've tried hold down power, hold down vol +/- with power. ADB devices sees nothing, same with fastboot devices. Any help?

Apparently this is MSM mode, but I've not seen anything yet for how to get out of it
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] capsnbottles:
Do I want to download under the Branded links? Im on tmobile now, sorry a lil confused
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] dhoang:
If magisk is installed. You phone is rooted.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Thanks. Seems like Google pay works now I havent even done anything other than install magisk. Nice.

How do updates work with magisk?

---------- Post added at 06:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 AM ----------

only 1 folder with all files
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] feezler:
Did you look at the screenshot? I accidentally typed "folders" and not "folder" in my post. There are no sub folders but just wanted someone who has done this successfully to do a quick check.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] seniorstew:
Just got my token today.. Got home from work round 7, poured a glass bourbon, unlocked the bootloader.. Downloaded and extracted the rom and its two other zip files, clicked play on "Keep Yourself Alive" by Queen and ran the bat... Halfway through my drink it was time to reboot my phone and root it. Now listing to "We are the Champions" ?? thank you for the guide!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
U shud have checked the spelling first. No way for me to discern that u have 1 folder when you upload 2 pictures and refer to them as folders. You're asking for help and all I said was one folder. Make sure u have one folder. If u have one folder you'll be ok.

That happened to me once when I rebooted from magisk. I got it to boot by pressing vol+ and power about 30 seconds or so. I have international variant though
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] contesauce:
Lemme go try that right now. I'll hold that thing until my finger bleeds if it'll work. BRB

DUDE! You are the man. I could have sworn I tried that combo. I would kiss you on your smart mouth right now, or just give you a beer/coffee. Now because I don't learn until I burn myself....time to flash this 9.0.5 version.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] capsnbottles:
Just updated to 9.0.5 from 9.0. This process was so easy if you followed the instructions. Thank you for all your time and hardwork. Reading all the answered questions in the thread really gave me piece of mind. Thank you Dark Nightmare
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] contesauce:
I'm sorted, international, rooted, and booted. Thanks dark! Now on to seeing if I can discover how to get the Google feed launcher working
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nory82688:
Is there a way to get it working with the OnePlus launcher? I've been using the Pixel 3 launcher (NexusLauncherPrebuilt) since flashing 9.0.5.

Still quite snappy and clean looking.
