Total curiosity, is the T-Mobile version of the 6t STILL on 9.0? I have the 256GB intl. version myself, it's on 9.0.5.

EDIT: ALSO, are we still waiting for a compatible MSM tool for the 6t or is there one that works? Again, curiosity. My device works. ?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Hey man, yeah it's on oos9.0 so we all update to the international ROM so we're up-to-date
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flyinace2000:
Just confirming that if I'm on the tmboile software and move to international that I do NOT need to root. I need to remain on unrooted for work.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzmanj1:
You can flash the 9.0.5 firmware and not he rooted. By default there's no root. Unless you flash 6t rooter software
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flyinace2000:
Perfect, thanks, Just need to wait 6'ish more days for my unlock.bin
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] lendawg:
Any idea where I can follow this rumor and stay up to date on it?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] aznrmx1112:
I believe it is still on 9.0. There was talk of hopes of TMO updating people to TMO version 9.0.5 by black friday, nothing official of course from TMO tho.

I personally moved on to 9.0.5 international OOS on my TMO 6T.

As far as the MSM tool check this out:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6t/themes/msmtool-v4-fajita-password-t3864935

I think we have the tool...just no password to use it. ;P
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BIGWORM:
So, I'm needing to extract the int'l ROM contents to the TMO/main ROM folder, or the other way around? Posted a picture of my folder contents.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] aznrmx1112:
What exactly are you trying to do?

Go from TMO 9.0 --> Int. 9.0.5?

Going back to TMO 9.0?

I think the confusion you may be having is the 9.0 link is the stock rom to say revert back to stock/the way you got the phone.

If you are trying to go to 9.0.5, forget the TMO 9.0 link all together and download only the 9.0.5 full ROM and follow the instructions as stated by Dark under the flashing steps section he has listed. =)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mauronofrio:
[MENTION=4204048]Dark Nightmare[/MENTION] i sent you a message
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BIGWORM:
Gotcha. Yeah, trying to go from TMO to Int'l 9.0.5
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Handala48:
How is WiFi calling quality on T-Mobile after flashing the international version? I have weak spots at work and home and WiFi calling with 6T has been amazing.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] aznrmx1112:
Right on man! I personally am the guy that downloads these files anyways incase the links die/hosting goes down, so I kept a copy of TMO 9.0 locally in case i need to revert it back to the way I got it for whatever reason.

Moving over to 9.0.5 has been a night and day difference with the fingerprint sensor IMHO.

Wifi calling quality I want to say is as good as your internet connection and wifi that you have. Personally has been great for me as well as the ability for VOLTE.

I've asked a few family members about the call quality and they all say its great, both on and off wifi, and cell only. :)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] contesauce:
To my knowledge there is no way yet, but I'll keep delving the interwebs until I can figure it out. I don't use the OOS shelf and loved the swipe for Google feed. I love the OOS launcher though.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] damir831:
I know this was a question posted previously and I'm not sure if it's already been confirmed. I can confirm that after flashing my Tmobile phone with the international rom, the dual sim card option was enabled. I have also tested this with my work sim card (also T-mobile.) I bought a OP6 dual sim card tray from Amazon. It's not a perfect fit (maybe 98%), but the case still fits without any issues.

You can set up the phone to default to sim slot 1 or 2 for outgoing calls, or you have the choice of selecting each time you make a call.

For messages, you have to select one - there's no way to pick when sending messages.

For data, it's the same as messages.

Receiving calls and messages will work for both, regardless of which one you set as default. This has been tested. Attached is what I have mine set up as.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BIGWORM:
Just to triple confirm, extract 9.0.5, extract both images.zip and Others_flashall.zip into same folder, then run the fastboot command? Just want to make absolutely sure. I'm currently nandroiding my stock rooted ROM right now lol.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
Make sure everything is in the extracted 9.0.5 folder. With no subfolders. So take everything out of the 2 subfolders, images, and others_flashall, and put them in the extracted 9.0.5 folder.

I didn't do that and soft bricked. Felt like a moron. ?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] aznrmx1112:
Exactly this. Following the exact steps Dark listing on the original post is what we did. You are almost over to 9.0.5 brotha!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] seniorstew:
Has anyone tried using a custom kernel on the tmobile version?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BIGWORM:
Just like this, right? No subfolders in the extracted int'l 9.0.5
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
run the flash-all-partitions-fastboot.bat batch file

I didn't on the tmobile rom, but on the international rom after the conversion I have.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SourPower:
Yes, download the full zip of the rom and extract all the zips from within, into the same folder/directory on your PC. It worked great for me. Takes about 5-7 mins for the process to complete and then about 1-2 mins to boot into OOS
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
I've been running this for a couple of days now. TMO>Global convert. Just cut the stock tray.

Google Messages has Dual SIM support. The send button is now a SIM icon with a number. You can hold the send button and select a different sim.

Also the default sim will be what the last message was sent to.

Example. Tmo SIM in S1. AT&T SIM in S2. Sending texts to the phone from my laptop via hangouts/Google Voice.

On Hangouts, I'm sending to 2 numbers. On the phone it shows up as one thread.

On the phone, the default response will be from whatever sim was last messaged. So I'm sending to two numbers on Hangouts, and on the phone it's one thread, and the default response sim just goes back and forth to whatever the last one was sent.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
xda won't let me see your images, sorry, if the folder looks similar to my example image, you should be fine.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BIGWORM:
Alrighty, about to flash right now. Do I have to let the phone full boot to int'l 9.0.5 before I start the Rooter program, or can I do that in the same fastboot session after all the files are flashed?

https://imgur.com/a/H6xa17c

IMGUR link with all the extracted files in the int'l 9.0.5 folder.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Folder looks fine, let it boot first, then reboot first to be safe, I may test this idea later and see what happens.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] aznrmx1112:
Take all the advice with a grain of salt. Just cause a bunch of us took the plunge and flashed over doesn't mean it works exactly that way for you.

"At your own risK" if you will. =P just more of a word of caution doing things and my 2 cents.

I agree with Dark and do the reboot first.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] damir831:
I am using Textra and just realized that I conveniently switch between sim 1 and 2 right before i send the text message in one thread. The thread indicates with a small "1" or "2" from which number it was sent.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] seniorstew:
Works good? Did you temp boot Twrp to flash it?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] contesauce:
At this time (to my knowledge) there is no way to get the TMO OPO launcher to install on the international OPO. Won't stop me from trying to make it happen though. Soon as it's figured out though I'll share.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
Looks right. Let us know when it's done. ?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I am on 9.05 oos. I extracted the systemUI app and the oplauncher from privapp out of the t mobile firmware. Using a root explorer, I used mixplorer, everything else sucks, and copied and replaced the 9.05 versions of System UI and op launcher with the TMobile versions. This is within the 9.05 oos firmware. It boots up, has all sorts of effed padding issues but booted and still NO Google feed option. Next, I navigated to /data/data/oplauncher and checked the code/bools, etc within the app. I copied them to notepad++and compared the code to the 9.05 oos. There is nothing different. The Google feed capability is not in launcher or UI. It has to be even deeper than that and past that I can't fathom where it could be. So... Get used to shelf. Use Google news, ftw. Lol. Best I got guys.

Update: As I write this maybe there is something in framework.res.apk and I should copy that along with the launcher and UI to 9.05... hmm. Didn't think of that till this post. If it is in there, we can figure it out from that.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] contesauce:
Yeah I don't think it's in the actual launcher itself, agree that it's deeper in the system someplace. I'll try and play with it this afternoon with root explorer. Got a military exercise going on at work right now and I'm supposed to be paying attention buuuuuuttttt. I'm dual tasking :)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
kernel manager app

its a carrier controlled feature, maybe it can be accomplished in the vendor.xml file? I haven't looked into it as I don't really care about the feed much, though I do get why its so handy for most.

same as above

its definitely a region based feature from what I've been reading.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] seniorstew:
Ex Kernel Manager?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Correct, there should be other flash tools, I just haven't gotten to look at them yet or test, may tomorrow since I'll have some time to mess around.

Edit: adb sideload works fine too booting the temp boot image, just did it to flash blu spark.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] lionel_messi1:
Do I need to get my phone unlocked from Tmobile before trying this? Or after flashing this, I will be able to use it on other networks?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
You need to get your device unlocked from t-mobile before you can bootloader unlock in order to do this.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SourPower:
Don't you have to let it boot before rooting so that you can turn debugging on, in the new clean install of 9.0.5?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Let it boot so that the new OS can finish the installation process, you don't need debugging to root since it temp boots twrp, then flashes the magisk zip file, which is pretty much all that has to be done, no adb commands or anything else within the OS itself.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] infamousvincci:
I used francos. Im on blu spark kernel now and holy guac, it is so much faster.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Demonface.24:
Would updating over OTA work when I upgrade to 9.05 and would the dual sim's work? If I root how would I be able to unroot so I can do an OTA update?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] H4X0R46:
WOW! Well alright. I wonder why OnePlus would provide the tool for the new device but add a password to it. Weird. And 3+ days? I wonder just how long and/or complex the password is! O.O
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Please read the first post, you cannot update via ota updating this way, dual sims work as expected.

I think it may have been leaked and not released.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Demonface.24:
I would be able to unroot with the tool on the first page also ?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
I don’t thing so, you should be unable to by removing through magisk, i’ll confirm later.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] moccor:
Does this mean the TMobile OP6T will have the same ROM compatibility as the unlocked 6T?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Demonface.24:
Ok, thanks. Guess I'll be skipping root until this is confirmed.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :

The file I found was a .rar file, so if you have a rar cracker it's basically gonna brute force it. I was going to start mine last night, but at 10 characters with special characters and numbers, with 60,510,648,114,517,017,120 passwords combinations. Assuming your setup are capable of one hundred billion guesses per second, it would take 19.24 years to exhaust all the possible combinations. I gave up before I started :eek:

Can anyone share tips on why my device is not found in ADB?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Install op drivers
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] candleworth7808:
Fast reply. Thanks.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] contesauce:
When you plug in your device to your computer, put the device in MTP mode and open your "My computer". Inside the OnePlus "disk" you will find the OPO USB drivers. I pull them onto my desktop and install from there, when I install directly from phone sometimes it hangs.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
If any of you have considered flashing the tmobile rom to your inactive slot, slot b in my case to see if you could possibly create a dualboot setup, don't do it, bootloops, for obvious reasons, but still worth a try, lol.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Not worth the power or effort, its a super complex password that even a high powered system would take a while to crack.

You cannot receive OTA's from OP at this time, it will cause a softbrick, read the first post for any further questions, we've tried to collect all possible questions there.

EDIT: for the person that asked, yes you can uninstall root from within the magisk app.

I just added a modified version of the flash-all-partitions-fastboot.bat file to the first post that includes the fastboot reboot command.

So no more guessing if the process is complete, the device will reboot upon completion.

Happy flashing.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] feezler:
I didn't realize the typo until you mentioned it. I apologise for that, I was just trying to double check, and I thought the screenshots would help. Thanks for the help.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Demonface.24:
I just flashed 9.05 to my device. Thank you very much for taking the time to help all of us here. I actually just got done. I also didn't root. that might happen at a later date. =). I'm not sure if it's allowed but you should put something in the first post just in case someone wants to donate. I'd donate but sadly I'm on a college budget. =(
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SourPower:
Well people should either way, keep in mind that being stuck on the stock TMobile version, the updates don't get pushed out as quickly as OnePlus gets them out, so if it's as simple as making backups and possibly restoring data? It would still be worth it Imo. But also how come OP releases the tool and keeps it locked, you don't think they may open it to the public sometime?

Also thanks for updating that script to include the reboot, I'm sure it will help some*
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
I don’t think upgrading the OS we’d have to do a data wipe, well I hope not, I’ll test it by moving from 9.0.4 to 9.0.5 tomorrow.

Im not sure who released the zip, since many people are saying OP has been distant since the 6T in regards to support and answering questions.

And I would hope it would help make the process easier since it’s a critical point even I question.

Damn, I'm jealous can't wait for my token, applied last Friday. Tried to coerst one of the OnePlus Customer service to fast track it, but they don't have control over it, they said it's the developers who are going to approved it:eek:

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Shpongled01:
Alright, so I'm that one dude on a Mac trying to deal with all this nonsense :P

To flash 9.0.5 via Mac I would setup my working folder just like everyone else but instead of double clicking the flash all partitions.bat I would have to open it and copy over the individual commands to terminal right?

If I'm a bit vague on any of that fill me in please.

Thanks in advance for helping my halfbreed self.

Mac & Android is such a hassle.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] swapavi:
I don't have my phone unlocked yet (TMobile is really dicking me around when I contact them to get it unlocked) but my plan once it is unlocked is to basically create a new .sh file and copy all the commands from the .bat file over to the .sh file. That's what I had to do for my pixel 2.

Don't forget to put a ./ before each command too.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
May be able to convert the file with basic edits for you, give me a minute to test
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Thanks again sir. I was also wondering about removing root.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
i'm a lot more tired than I thought, I'll look at it tomorrow, but for the most part, exactly what the other user said, just run each command from the terminal, don't forget to put ./ before each command, I have the script file for this, but I'm missing something and I don't know what, lol.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] celltestr:
On mac you can install fastboot and adb using homebrew once installed run:

brew cask install android-platform-tools

This will install all the necessary files and will put them in your path already.

Next is running the script, I've converted the flash-all-partitions-fastboot.bat to a shell script but I DID NOT TEST IT myself. But it has the same commands so it "should" work.

You can download the converted file from here: flash-all-partitions-fastboot.sh

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Deeplead:
Hi, I have unlocked the device and tried to follow the steps as described in the post. I receive error as attached and boots with T-mobile ROM. Not sure, where am I going wrong. Any suggestions?

Edit:

I flashed it successfully. Issue was with the file extension.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] infamousvincci:
Sparse errors are normal.

Ignore it
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Deeplead:
My concern wasn't the sparse error. The new 9.0.5 ROM wasn't being flashed. I found out the error.

The file, "flash-all-partitions-fastboot" didn't have the '.bat' extension in the name. So, it was being run in 'administrator' mode, so the phone wasn't flashing.

Now, I have successfully flashed to 9.0.5 International ROM.

Thanks
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
Couple things by unlocking the boot loader and switching to the Global Rom, u lose wide vine drm l1 so certain hd options while streaming in certain apps will be limited, also some apps in the play store will show your device as incompatible..use apk mirror for those.

[MENTION=4204048]Dark Nightmare[/MENTION] someone released the tool. We need to know if it works with T-Mobile!!

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

U sure u have everything in one folder?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
So can we do a critical unlock or not? Reason I ask is bc a couple people in a chat who have more ROMs in the op6 thread than anyone...said it may convert our device completely if we unlock critical (that's if we must at all to be able to flash or erase those) then erase those partitions one by one before flashing. Except for modem and a couple others. We could modify the script to accommodate this task. Then flashing the bat flash all that does indeed touch those partitions... I have experienced something similar to this will help the essential phone regarding vendor files and volte. Flashing over a vendor file for example doesn't always overwrite it. U gotta wipe it completely first then reflash on a blank page so to speak.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
As of right now no. Since no working twrp

So let me get this straight, I'm on OP6T version 9.0 stock T-Mobile.

I have unlocked my phone now waiting for my .bin file from OP. I downloaded the 9.0.5 OTA (it says OTA but it's actually the full ROM). I can flash 9.0.5 directly without any issues right? Or do I need to flash 9.0.4 first then 9.0.5?

Sorry, I been reading all threads, have all downloaded and extracted, ready for when my .bin arrives.

All I need is a Yes or No.

Thanks for your work, we appreciate it.

U will have to flash unlock bin, then oem unlock, which in turn asks to unlock the bootloader, then u can yes flash 9.05.
