Thanks Free4flight, all ready now
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Deeplead:
Thanks,

The issue has been resolved and issue was due to filename not having .bat extension.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
This is odd....
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Deeplead:
I know right! Under the file type, it would show windows batch file but the filename didn't have .bat extension.

After 3 failed attempts as a last resort changed the 'filename' to 'filename.bat' and it worked.

And, thank you for the step by step instructions.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Glad it worked out for you, would you mind telling me which bat file it was you were trying to use?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kramer987:
for the token, there are two lines of code after the fastboot command. is it both lines pasted together consecutively for the token request?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Deeplead:
I initially tried using the modded flash-all-partitions-fastboot file (as you had mentioned, it includes the reboot command to auto reboot when done flashing). I assumed it didn't work because of this modded file and then later used the flash-all-partitions-fastboot.bat file that comes with 9.0.5 ROM.

---------- Post added at 11:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------

Yes, paste them together to get a single code.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jkeith1:
Just out of question, it says don't use the ota files, but the link provided, shows ota in the file name.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
So envious. My token comes tomorrow. My fingerprint sucks I'm.hoping the update helps.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] rootmaster96:
It's a joke how much more inferior the TMO software is than the Intl. version. The only thing I miss is the Google Discover option instead of shelf, but that's easily remedied.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
So having issues trying to get this flashed. Am posting pics of the errors I'm getting. Any help would be appreciated.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
Think I may be bricked. Reboots directly to boot loader when I try to reboot phone.

Edit: seems the recovery, system and everything is gone. So what are my options? There isn’t a way to fix this right?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzmanj1:
As far as I know, there is not. Sorry man, that plain sucks, unless someone can correct me, there is no way to repair the phone. Perhaps when Tmo releases its first OTA, the devs can sort through and find the soution
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] OrganicRobot:
I'm really excited to receive my bin file later today, but the above scenario has me really worried about the potential consequences of flashing the int rom so quickly.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
My fault, i knew the risk and took it anyway. I followed the directions exactly. Don’t know why it happened. Think my rooting days may be over after this. I need to have a phone that works and it seems like everything gets riskier every year.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It works perfectly fine and normal as any image flash from a script. I'm suspicious that after unlocking the bootloader he may have proceeded to flash the int firmware before letting it boot and enabling USB debugging, so it sought out the script to no avail. Also, did u unzip the image and other scripts within the same directory? If u can get into fastboot at all, flash each t mobile file from the posted firmware dump individually.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
Remember that there are risks. And you flash at your own risk.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
Where is the T-Mobile dump?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
A few pages back, this thread
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Addiso:
Do you have fastboot available? And also did you extract everything to the same directory as the other files? You should be able to boot into fastboot and flash them still.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
Not finding one in this thread or anywhere else for the T-Mobile 6t.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Why not post a picture of what is actually boots up to. Booting up to bootloader means it's not hard bricked
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
I do have fastboot available. And I did extract to the same directory. I keep getting the same errors as in the photos I posted on previous post. I did have adb bugging enabled. I unlocked bootloader last night didn't try to flash this till today. I made sure debugging was on.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Yep same confused me. Once you unzip if the files inside match then op directions then you're good. Then other actual ota look weird with a 'payload' file
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
Here's the pic of what I can boot to. Can't boot into system or recovery
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] raing:
blanks next to bootloader version and baseband version are normal. Mine looks exactly the same and I haven't flashed anything yet.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TJSteveMX:
I tried that mod, it was a zip file that needed to be extracted and replace the existing one... Worked for me
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Deeplead:
Oh Okay. The issue was after I unzipped and replaced, the file was named "flash-all-partitions-fastboot" and not "flash-all-partitions-fastboot.bat" .

Looks like for certain the issue was with the filename not having .bat extension even though the file type was recognized as windows batch file.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Created and tested that bat myself, I’ll check the attachment when I get home later.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] thedrizzle:
Yes.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Bildo41383:
worked great, how do i get rid of the warning on boot that the device is unlocked?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
You don't.

Wait 8 seconds every time you boot.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Bildo41383:
haha, ok. Small price to pay i guess.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bradhoschar:
Got my unlock bin this morning, flashed 9.0.5 Int'l, and NO issues whatsoever. Waiting on apps to pull down, then going to try the 6T rooter.

Thanks for a great write-up!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Google just loves taunting us modders, lol.

Glad you're up and running, enjoy the snappier life all us converters are loving.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] DougDuLa:
Edit: Nevermind. I ejected an external hard drive I had plugged in and that fixed it. :/
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Free4ever2:
I got my unlock code a few days back, and finally got around to using it. Followed all the steps in the guide, and everything went smoothly. I saved some time restoring my apps and data by backing up first with the OnePlus Switch app. Also, one of my most used apps, Clash Royale, refused to launch in full screen mode after the update, and was missing in the "apps display in full screen" page. I found a workaround by installing an older apk, and it then showed up in the list to force full screen. I'm glad to finally have my phone set up the way I like it with AdAway and Magisk.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] infamousvincci:
About that. Which adaway do u use
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] cmbdom:
Close out of the CMD window on the computer, and click restart bootloader on the phone. Then try it again. If anyone else has a similar issue of it being stuck
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BIGWORM:
Make sure you nandroid and pull EFS to TWRP, and adb pull your modems before you flash it you didn't do it already, lol!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Haz3:
yeaaaaa I'm ****ed lmao totally thought I had them backed up.... Flashed 9.0.5/bluspark HOURS before runningnaked made that post. Now I'm just sitting here like.... ?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
You can still make a backup of your efs, that's a critical partition that doesn't get flashed with this conversion.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] curiousmileo:
Can y’all tell me how you got your phone unlocked through T-Mobile so quickly? I tried and they said i have to finish paying off the phone before I can unlock it. I have seen people on here who are still paying off the phone get it unlocked but I cant seem to crack them.

Please tell me you secrets!

Skim through this thread.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] PuTTYMySSH:
Went through the instructions without unzipping the Images.zip and Others_flashall.zip due to not reading.

When booting the screen is stuck on the unlocked bootloader notification.

Any recommendation on next steps?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Hold volume up and power for about 30s to reboot, vol up and down + power to get back into fastboot, try again when you get into fastboot.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] MidtownHD:
New update for the T-Mobile just came out...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Have you installed it?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] MidtownHD:
Nope, lol. It might "patch" whatever that makes you guys be able to flash the Int. version. The update has the Nov patch.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mang0:
Think I'll hold off on doing this just in case and just wait fir the international 9.0.5. Boyfriend is going to update his though, I think.

Update Unlock app?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Software update doesn't give a whole lot of details, I highly doubt they can stop us from converting, especially since we're not flashing criticals, that appears to be the only partitions they generally restrict.

I just finished setting up my phone for the millionth time, sighs... can't even make a rom backup with twrp yet, I'll just wait for someone who's still on stock firmware to install and report back.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Let us know what android version he's on if he updates. Updates page just says 9.0, which could just be them being vague..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] PuTTYMySSH:
That is done now. Still sitting on bootloader screen.

Should I flash the tmobile rom or go into recovery?

I've also seen some people have this issue and letting the battery drain works?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] majortaylor:
I'm installing now
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Extract the files like you should've and go ahead with the flashing process.

If you can get into the bootloader or shut down the device, you shouldn't have a problem booting after a successful flash....
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] majortaylor:
It's still 9.0 oos
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Lol guess they weren't being vague after all, see if your gestures got updated and if your scanner is more responsive, seems not to be worth the fuss for me to go back to update to then, are you bootloader unlocked?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] majortaylor:
Finger print is definitely quicker and not unlocked yet. How do I check gestures?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Go to settings > buttons and gestures, see if you've got the same basic four as before or if it has changed, is your settings app the same old layout too?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
I'm really impressed with TMobile updating this fast.

The new update appears to be based on 9.0.5.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] majortaylor:
Yep same 4 and settings look identical to before
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Doesn't seem to carry all of its features sadly, why I wonder...

Sucks, I wonder what else they excluded and why.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
I really doubt they excluded it. It says right there in the update gestures 2.0.

I bet the person you asked doesn't know the difference in that the recents gesture is what changed.

In all honesty the only thing I see them not adding yet is smart boost since it's still a lab feature. I bet everything else from 9.0.5 is in the update. The change log is practically the same.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mang0:
What did the recents gesture change to in 9.0.5?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Our gestures have more than one set of features included, he said it just included the base four that was on the original launch firmware, guess someone else can confirm? Though that seems like a pretty obvious feature to notice a change of? Another thing to check for would be quick launch in utilities.

Edit: someone else confirmed its the same as ours
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Can you check your utilities setting and see if quick launch is now included?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Addiso:
Captured the update.zip on my brother's phone. Will upload by tonight if anything. I would rather use the international firmware though.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Yeah I'm sticking to the international firmware too, thanks for capturing the OTA.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] majortaylor:
The gestures do feel snappier but I'm not sure how to actually confirm one way or the other
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
A few things weren't included, minor for the most part I guess, tmo is skimping on features and I really think that sucks for the average user.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] majortaylor:
I just changed to full screen gestures and it's definitely acting different than before. So they must have included the new gestures
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
it is, just not including some features in the international rom like quick activate assistant app or quick launch in utilities, not sure what else they excluded, they did include major system stability features like the fps update and the new gestures.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Addiso:
Can you switch from last app by swiping up then quick right?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] majortaylor:
Yes
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bradhoschar:
Um. No secret. I paid it off!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Free4ever2:
The one on F-Droid v3.3 and host source from https://1hos.cf and a custom whitelist.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BIGWORM:
Wait, you can't make a backup? Why? I backed up my stock to OTG.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Lol I meant like a recovery backup when you're flashing between roms so you can go back if you don't like the new rom.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BIGWORM:
You still can, just backup/restore through OTG in TWRP.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] feezler:
If someone updated to this T-Mobile update would it prevent them from being able to convert to the international rom? I am assuming it wouldn't matter once the bootloader is unlocked. Just curious!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mang0:
No way to really know till someone does it and updates us. But I think the general consensus is probably not.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
There's nothing they're going to do, and if they do, it's as simple as reverting back to old versions of the files.

If this was to ever happen, it would be simple software incompatibility. It wouldn't be intentional.

If anything like this will happen, and thats a big if, it will be the other way around, it will be a new version of global that can't be installed until the Tmo files are updated.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] feezler:
I was going to update but I think I'll wait. My 7 days is on Tuesday and I'll have my unlock code. I'd rather have the all the features instead of TMobiles dumbed down release
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
sorry but how do we relock bootloader? just question in case im trying to sell this and get the intl version instead
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Should just be fastboot oem lock
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
lol so i thought, its asking to

C:\Users\*****\Desktop\op6tfiles> fastboot oem lock

...

FAILED (remote: Please flash unlock token first!

EDIT: for anyone wanting to go back to stock, ota wont go thru with a locked bootloader(obviously)

i tried flashing the token then locking which worked to lock boot loader, but then i got stuck in a boot loop to fastboot... oh boy
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
So you need to use the unlock token to relock your bootloader??

Also, just hold the power for a good 30 seconds. Do you have a display while you're in fastboot mode? If so just use the vol buttons to toggle and boot.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
display was there, tried to toggle start and off, both went back to fastboot screen

yes unlock token had to be flashed to relock, but unable to boot after relock, bot the device is corrupt screen.

so i was able to go back to stock tmobile and it booted, BUT when i tried to lock bootloader it wouldnt boot, gave me acorrupt screen

was able to fastboot flash intl rom and am back on it, will live with it unless one o fyou fine gentleman can find what i did wrong. i want to sell this thing already lol
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I have locked and relocked a few times and to relock I never needed. To unlock yes. Not that it gives us access to critical yet but, I would say in preparation for that, we should be unlocking by fastboot oem unlock_critical. Eventually we will get access and this way we won't be having to relock and unlock in order to make sure everything is oem unlocked. May not make sense right now but very soon we will be able to flash those.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
IDK what j could have done wrong. Fastboot back to tmobile firmware, boot successful, attempt to relockz successful, boot loop. Maybe I'll record this so u guys can help.

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

Dark confirms relock doesn't work, you get stuck in a loop. He's looking into it
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
If you want to do the OTA on an unlocked bootloader, I believe you had to adb sideload the zip through twrp.

I don't wanna wipe my phone again, lol, let me know about that last thing I sent you, if that doesn't work, we may have to wait on the t-mo version of the msm tool.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Tell me.about it lol wiping is the killer. I got 2 hours before work. I'll give it a shot tonight and report back
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Doesn't backup my data, idc about flashing between roms if I don't have to retransfer media, app data, etc.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It works, but the system thinks data is corrupt cuz the system knows there's an os installed that was done so while the bootloader was in an unlocked state.so u gotta fastboot -w then reboot and your BL is locked again. I did this 4 times yesterday. What I did was after relocking, and after getting the red verity broken message, was I simply powered off, rebooted manually to BL then flashed the firmware package (9.05) I would imagine this to work fine with our stock firmware(TMobile) can't hurt anything
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
thanks fo this, trying now

doesnt work
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
U trying to stay relocked or unlock and flash firmware?

Fastboot oem unlock_critical

Fastboot flashing lock

Edit.

I read back a few pages, u can't relock cuz it wants u to unlock again first. I forgot it did that. So unlock, flash unlock bin, relock, reboot bootloader to fastboot, flash firmware.. I would NOT relock it for good
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
was trying to go back to stock 100%. it is not possible at this time. after flash tmobile firm ware can boot while bootloader unlocked. will not boot once locked, ends up in a boot loop constantly back to fastboot

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------

it can be relocked, but wont boot. it cant be returned to stock.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I did this process a few times but why do u need to relock the bootloader? U can get the OTA still take as long as u wait to root till after.

And u still can just can't relock the bootloader and flash anything. Gotta remain unlocked, flash stock t mobile, then reboot bootloader, then relock
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
tried that bro. dont work lol
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Oh man u try a wipe mixed in for good measure? I would keep it unlocked, why lock it.. I dissected that OTA. Has nothing in it to help make our phone any better than it is if u are running 9.05..

Edit..maybe I misunderstood, u want to go back to full t mo stock and relock BL? try to unlock again with the critical command..then flash stock, reboot then let it boot up, skip through, enable debugging, authorized your adb /fb connection, then go to fb and give lock command, then go to recovery, wipe all data and reset then try to boot.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] phillymade:
Delete
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Doesn't work. Boot in to T-Mobile stock fine. Once I relock bootloader it won't boot, gets stuck in fastboot bootloop. Can't go to recovery or anything.

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

Trying to sell it so I can get the unlocked one.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I wouldn't relock the bootloader at all, makes it less marketable. I would start over relock and try that unlock command I suggested. I rebooted into t mo system fine with a relocked BL. Maybe missing a step? I dunno, but good luck man
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
How did u relock the bootloader?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Oem lock then rebooted bootloader, then fastboot erase userdata, then reboot.. i unlocked critical last before this
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
I haven't tried the critical thing. But 'fastboot flashing unlock' isn't recognized when i tried it. Only fommand that work was oem.unlock. U do have a T-Mobile variant right? Lol
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
He does, guess I have to wipe again and proceed with this, maybe I can just move all my media to otg and use it directly off the otg drive.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kirschdog1:
I would agree except I miss Google now feed.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
If we can figure out how it works we can probably use it, if there's a vendor xml file, we can mess with that, see what happens.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TJSteveMX:
Are you planning on testing going back to stock and relocked the bootloader to see if that works?

If you do can you add to OP second post for people that want to go back?

Also with bootloader unlock are we still able to receive OTAs from the T-Mobile stock ROM provided on OP?
