I been reading though the threads on about SIM unlock and Dual sim, OK I bought this device for some crazy reason.. and I hear people talking about SIM unlocking..

Ok here is the problem, SIM unlocking is easy to get done, even without T-mo doing it.. I am not even worried about unlocking my SIM.. that is no problem with me.. but as for

applying for the unlock token, taking 7 days,, my HTC10 only took 5 mins....... So then we gota think, is OP verifying the Paid off device or what.. Hopefully not.........

If not, then your all good......... but If they do.. then it doesnt matter if you unlock your sim and get your OEM unlocking ungrayed out.........

My Sources are checking into this info and still waiting to hear back from them.....

Ovjave my phone sim unlocked after 4 attempts with T-Mobile reps to request it. From what I'm seeing first hand you must be Sim unlocked and only then will oem unlock option be available under developer settings. From there it's fastboot to get the code that you send with your imei number to OnePlus for the unlock token that you then flash to unlock the T-Mobile variation 6t. I am currently waiting for a response from OnePlus for my unlock token
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] clapper66:
I don't see why oneplus would care. I see this as something TMobile is clearly going out of there way to stop whereas oneplus has not cared you unlocked any device ranging from the oneplus one to the 6t.

The Google pixels are a good example of the manufacturer not caring what you do to there phones, but a carrier caring. The google pixel sold through Google can easily be unlocked. Enable oem unlocking and go to you bootloader and use some simple fastboot commands and it's completed in less than 5 mins. Whereas if you bought a Verizon version you were out of luck there was no way to unlock it. At the same time another reason to show Google doesn't care either is users filed warranty claims for there verizon model and got unlocked models in return.

Anyways oneplus uses the phase 'Never settle' and I'm not going to settle until I get my phone unlocked.

Thing is bro, getting the SIM unlock before your 40 days and paid off elapses.... Although I also would like to know the info on what kind of verification is going on OnePlus side like you said. I'm pretty sure it's probably just like a cross reference with tmobile, once OnePlus verifies that TMobile has allowed permanent carrier unlock, that's probably all they look at, as that's all it takes to enable OEM unlocking.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzmanj1:
I have already gone through the sim unlock and oem unlock process. I am just waiting for Oneplus to send me the unlock token that you then flash via fastboot to unlock the Tmo variant. I have not paid off my phone or waited, obviously, the full 40 days. I did chat ia twitter with 4 different tmo reps until the last one would help me unlock the sim lock. Once sim lock us unlocked, it will then allow you to toggle oem unlock in dev settings. I informed the Tmo rep I was leaving the country and needed to sim unlock so that I can use it overseas.

I'm having zero success... Tried like 3 times via Twitter, got the speal down and all....I think they've caught on and now they're just feeding everyone the 40 day deal... I'm now on official T-MOBILE app chat and this chick is going so far as to tell me that even enabling my developer options in my settings is a void of my warranty, lol...wtf isn't that a bit of a far stretch?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] chakra:
Inquiring about your warranty voids your warranty. Also any damage or software issues voie your warranty, the warranty is only valid on fully functional devices.

Alright well I have the right to void my warranty right, lol...soooo ....I don't even think I have a device warranty, what is it? Like I can return my device within 14 days? Woopty friggin doo
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] rootmaster96:
No Luck

Same. I've gone through 5 reps already AND the T-Mobile app and the best I've gotten was a temp unlock request. Really pissing me off especially when a rep gives wrong info and I can't call them out on in
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Causical:
I'll wait the 40 days...I don't give a friggidy frack anymore, besides my down payment was like 90% of the device cost LoL, so I'm pretty sure paying the remaining amount off in 40 days is going to be achievable...5 dollars and some change for 24 months, GTFO ... Why are you financing to me again :p
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] infamousvincci:
Ill leave this here.

Im waiting for OP now to release my code.

Nice dude!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Ugh. 5 tries and everyone just goes on the 40 days, paid in full, blah blah blah. I've had one person offer a temporary unlock, and that's it.

I've been with T-Mobile at least 8 years ( all I know is I've had TMobile since before my oldest was born). I'm on auto pay. Have 3 lines. Nope nope nope.

Maybe I'll try the Twitter route.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] infamousvincci:
Try thr twitter route. The guys in twitter are techy and more aware of bootloader, oem unlock and etc
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Yeah I'm currently waiting for a response. I went with the truth the first time around using the app, and the customer service was not good at all. She kind of got an attitude with me. Simply because I said she was incorrect in saying unlocking the bootloader would break my warranty.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Causical:
You guys are using up all the useful service reps... What's a guy gotta do? Wait for shift change?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] LuCkyCn:
Tried my luck via Twitter and I got it to unlock the first try. I got straight to the point and it worked. Also, I still owe the $300.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Eliminater74:
As I said, The SIM unlock is the easy part.. but ONEPLUS making you wait the 7 days could very well possible be a verification period that the device was in indeed paid off..

and I have someone looking into this to verify if that is true or not... and someone asked why would OP care? because ONEPLUS has always sold the device outright..

Never by payments.. so T-mo and OP got together and decided this, So that both companies WIN, OP rather you buy the device in FULL then make payments.. So doing this

will force you to pay off your device much quicker, and for the peepz that did pay it off quick, T-mo wants you on their network, So the 40 days was implanted to force that..

So you see its a WIN/WIN for both.. But not to worry, Since OP is well known to leave Security leaks, I am sure one way or another the T-mo edition will get unlocked quicker then

what T-mo and OP had intended......

That is all I am saying. I hope it all goes in our favor. Trust me.. I hope the 7 days comes to pass and everyone got their unlock token, with no problems............

but dont worry about unlocking SIM, that is the easy part... the hard part is making sure OP release the token within the 7 days..............
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] rootmaster96:
How is exactly is getting the device unlocked the easy part? Lmao right now it's all about luck and timing. At least right now the unlock page on OnePlus seems assured once you secure that oem sim unlock

Also, it seems highly unlikely that OnePlus will review each submission to see if the device has been paid off in full, especially because that's solely T-mobiles jurisdiction and they would need to check every T-Mobile acct of all requests
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzmanj1:
Someone was able to get temp unlocked, then they went to twitter and pushed for perm unlock and got it. You could try that route and see how it goes.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Yeah that was my plan. Except it took them almost 3 hours to respond, and when they did, their first response was the 40 days, paid in full response haha.

I'll give it another shot today.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] rootmaster96:
Thats Tuff

I've gone through a whole day + 1 more rep today and have gotten canned responses. Did everything on this thread as well. Man what's it gonna take?

Also one is saying that they can override the 40 day requirement but not the EIP payments being a requirement. How did people get around this?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] infamousvincci:
Sim unlock is the hard part actually. Its tmobile's job to check if the device is paid off. Not OP. OP's job is to only hand out token.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mackentosh:
For those of you who paid the phone off and are getting shot down on the Sim unlock, try calling with an angry tone explain that you own phone so why in the hell should you have to wait 40 days?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
U gotta express urgency and that u will be out of town for more than 30 days. And don't be too specific. I made that mistake on the phone. She's like oh Philippines, I'm right there and we have tmobile. So that shot me down pretty much. Gave me temp, Twitter at 4 am with customer care got me permanent unlock after expressing urgency and concern about losing service while abroad. Also, highlighting my customer history helped as well. And don't say bootloader. Say sim unlock and reassure u aren't jumping Carrier. Plant the seed on the phone, settle for temp. Get on Twitter, tell them u are worried it won't be enough etc...juice it up. In sales the main priority is creating urgency. Good luck and yes I don't believe one plus will check pay off statuses. I havent paid a dime yet.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] infamousvincci:
Haha. Pinoy. :)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] rootmaster96:
Is this Legit

Ok so after increasing pressure about buying directly from OnePlus and returning the TMO device, the conversation proceeded as shown in the screenshot. The process that she's saying in whitelisting seems correct but the 72 hr thing I know is BS.

So is this BS or can I hope to be permanently unlocked?

Edit: ugh, the screenshot isn't attaching

Edit 2: Yes! Finally! Got the permanent unlock via the unlock app after the whitelist
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Yep, finally got mine unlocked as well. Took at least 8 different reps.

Went through the unlock process, now I'm just waiting from OnePlus.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] raing:
how do you go through different reps? when I delete the messages on twitter and then try to talk to them again via new message i just get put back to the same rep.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] spenc938:
I wasn't successful with this. I reached out via Twitter and ended up leaning on her pretty hard, but she refused. Don't bother with JessicaNeedham.

Question, How long have you been with T-Mobile? because the few reps I've had seem they may have been more lenient if I was verifiably a loyal customer. They definitely asked about it and looked into it... That won't work for me though, because I've been with T-Mobile before, but no time recently.

Well I think I give up, I deleted my Twitter convos, dms or whatever...I got a new rep today and he's all "Well I see yesterday you were chatting with some of my teammates about getting your phone unlocked"... (*nuclear facepalm*)... "yyyyeah, No, 40 days, account in good standing, phone paid off"

--- Me: "okay bye"
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jmariconda:
Can confirm this. I was just able to get mine unlocked early through the T-Mobile Help Twitter dm's, but the main reason he gave was that I've been a loyal customer for 5 years. Don't think it would have worked otherwise.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
Same reason here. I've been with TMobile for 6 years.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] raing:
Got my tmobile sim unlock.

they made me pay off the phone in full ($570), but assured me that I would still receive the $300 over 24 months in bill credits. I couldn't get around paying it off.

After I paid off the phone in full they took my imei and email, processed the unlock, I tried the unlock app again (which I was trying constantly throughout the whole process and kept getting a failed message) it went through. I enabled oem unlocking and submitted the token request through the oneplus website form.

Will follow up once I have it. Still checking my emails said it would be done within 72 hours.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dameon87:
The unlock bin comes from OnePlus. Likely it's just a confused support agent, not taking into account that the phone uses the T-Mobile Unlock App, rather than a manually inputted unlock code.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I sure hope so I first tried in online support chat and that guy was even more confused so then I called their customer support line and that girl's kind of confused as well put me on hold said she spoke with someone in technical support and they told her that it's all carrier related for anything involving unlocking and unlock Bin It seems impossible to me and I agree with you.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Causical:
Right, that's what I was worried about, especially when the guy was like, "well I see you were talking to my teammates about this yesterday".... Ooops
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dameon87:
I've not gotten anyone that clueless. Just make sure your phrasing is that you need the phone sim unlocked for travel and development purposes. Be clear that a temporary unlock will not do. And if you've been a customer for a long time, feel free to throw that in their faces too. T-Force will almost always go out of their way to make a customer happy. Phone support is worthless in my experience.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Yaotl:
Was wondering about that. I created a new twitter account just to see if I get a different answer. Hopefully any note on my account is local to the rep and/or that twitter account.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dameon87:
Truthfully I'd not really worry about getting a note on your account. If anything they want to help you... You just have to find the right support agent to do it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzmanj1:
He is already sim unlocked. He is referring to both of his chats with OnePlus via online chat and a phone call. They have no clue from his experience if Oneplus is handling the bootloader unlock.bin file or Tmobile
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I've gotten my t mobile op6t sim unlocked and it wasn't too hard, but that OnePlus custom care team..whoa. I'm permanently unlocked and awaiting the bin.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dameon87:
Ah yeah I'd not really expect them to at this point either. Likely it's just a disconnect with lower tiers of support on a new device. Especially considering OP phones are already unlocked normally.

I'd take anything they say with a major grain of salt.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzmanj1:
To be honest, I am not at all surprised with this confusion between Tmo/OP customer support. This is new territory for both sides, and I think that is one reason why we are able to get sim unlocked depending on who you get on Tmo twitter. There is confusion and we are able to gain advantage with that, again with the right rep from Tmo.

But I am not concerned by this, I actually would have been surprised if there wasnt any confusion on both sides. Meanwhile, I am just patiently (couhg....cough yeah right) waiting for for my unlock.bin file.... (cough hurry the hell up! lol)

Here's where I think the problem is though... When I talked to my first rep she verified and linked my tmobile account with my Twitter account to look into everything, I think that screwed me with every future rep I talked to. She was an 11 year tmobile employee and she's going to be well known to have her **** straight and document when she has helped a customer.

Came across this article. It mentions that some Tmo users are getting their phones unlocked early, but does not specify anything beyond that:

https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...mobile-version-restrictions-bootloader-betas/

At the very bottom of the article it mentions:

UPDATE 2: 2018/11/05 3:00PM PST

Based on recent reports, some have finagled an early unlock from the carrier, but it appears to be discretionary. T-Mobile's support is technically able to unlock the phone before the typical 40-day service obligation, but there are no guarantees. Some reports have indicated that the longer you've held your account, and the longer it's been in good standing, the better your chances. If you need an early unlock for travel or other reasons, you'll have to ping T-Mobile's support yourself to see if it's possible.

EDIT - And here is another article about Tmo 6Ts being unlocked early:

https://piunikaweb.com/2018/11/05/t...users-carrier-unlock-their-device-right-away/

FYI, this article links to the XDA - How I unlocked y Tmobile 6T thread here
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nory82688:
I'm being told now that because they gave me a temporary unlock, that I have to wait 30 days for it to expire to get a Permanent unlock... They told me there is no way to override the temporary unlock and apply the permanent one. I'm fed up with these people.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Causical:
Alright great so now the helpful tmobile reps are being put on blast... You know how you're a "cool" employee at your job and you can do "cool" things for people, because everyone stays "cool" about it....Well this is a good example of not doing that.

---------- Post added at 04:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 AM ----------

Personally I really think TMobile F'd up by not allowing the bootloader to be unlocked upon purchase... coming from OnePlus's background this is a developer loved device and the development community here is one of the HUGEST selling points for the device... I'm highly considering returning mine to tmobile, forgetting about TMobile and going straight to OnePlus... They should've figured out how to SIM lock the phone without any interference regarding the bootloader...I mean for real though, that would've been a huge incentive for me to stay with T-Mobile, I can buy from you November 1st and unlock my bootloader...I wouldn't have even cared about a SIM unlock at that point.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nory82688:
Agreed. When I bought mine , I had no idea the bootloader was locked. They weren't very forthcoming with that information at all. Now I have to wait until December 6 to be able to unlock this thing just to unlock the bootloader because some rep told me a temporary unlock would work. Obviously it doesn't. They did tell me they would permanently unlock my phone on December 6 , but if for whatever reason it doesn't work, they would whitelist it. I asked him if he could just whitelist it now, and he said it wasn't possible.

This is like pulling teeth.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jim262:

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SourPower:
Something must be off cause I just completed mine and it shown green that it was received and now shows in progress but not processing like someone before had mentioned. I think at that point they were a day in, after requesting it.

Again.... They're knocking down every possible excuse I can come up with and I've worded the request in every possible way I can imagine just short of straight up asking "hey will you please just unlock my phone"... *Sigh*

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Ernestly:
Hi, I'm slightly confused about the recent OxygenOS update (5.1.6) that includes Treble support.

If I flash the new update, does my device become "Treble ready" so that I'll be able to flash Treble-supported ROMs, kernels and such?

If I am currently on a non-Treble custom ROM, should I even bother flashing the new OOS update for Treble? How would that affect flashing non-Treble custom ROMs?

Thanks
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] KLit75:
I have some questions as well. I thought after I flashed a treble recovery+ 5.1.5 my phone would have treble enabled but it doesn't.

Can anyone add more clarity?

***As for one of your your questions, having treble enabled won't effect flashing non-treble roms. But you will need a treble recovery to flash treble roms.

Ive had 5.1.5 with treble recovery for 2 months on a non-treble rom.
