Well, I tried several times for the reps to unlock mine. Never got it. Went to the T-Mobile unlock app and got a temporary unlock. A couple of days later (this was some days ago), which was yesterday, I read around here that some users went back to the unlock app during a temporary unlock and tried permanent unlock and that it worked, so I did the same and it worked too. Just submitted my unlock code last night.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] supercobaltss:
When you guys submitted the bootloader unlock request did you get an email or anything confirming? I havent heard a word on status or the unlock.bin
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] joemossjr:
You get an email. You literally get it the second it hits 7 days down to the exact time
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
I submitted my request last Friday 1/4 and I haven't heard anything from OP since. All I know is my application status is "applied" according to their website!!!

Hopefully, I'll hear something from them by the end of this week.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] supercobaltss:
I didnt even know it had a status page.

EDIT: Nevermind found the status page lol

Nice. Hasn't worked for me yet and every attempt to get a rep to waive the requirements fails.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeffro64:
Just spoke to T-Mobile help on Twitter and explained that I work overseas a lot during the year. My sim has only been in the phone for just under two days so the IMEI hasn't registered on the network yet. She said I meet all the qualifications except that to get the international unlock, so she will check when she come back tomorrow and contact me to unlock. So should be good to go! Best part is I didn't have to lie or make up anything.

This is what she said:

Ahh, I wish I could override that for you! The network usage is one that we have to see in order to complete the unlock request. I have verified you meet all eligibility otherwise, so as soon as that usage updates on that IMEI, we'll be able to unlock it immediately. I'll follow up as soon as I'm in tomorrow, and we'll confirm it's unlocked, that way there's no delay in getting what you need from OnePlus.

That is awesome and looks promising! Thanks for sharing and I will look into it!!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Sup man! Welcome to the fold.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] aftabbabar:
you can shut this thread down as you don't need to unlock the sim or the bootloader to convert the phone to international version. some good man has found a way to convert your locked tmobile phone into an international version. now the phone will be sim unlocked and bootloader unlocked. the most simplest method yet.

check out the thread in the news section.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeffro64:
Hey bud! Thanks for the welcome...I just got sim unlocked because it was in the process from last night and applied for my unlock.bin even though it's not needed now LOL. I thought it would be good to have just in case for the future. Anyways the wait for that is in progress.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
I hear you but not too fast because TMobile is still be able to patch the loophole through the OTA update when they find out. Keep your fingers crossed!

I'm going to get mine done tonight when I get home. The sooner the better!!! ;)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] erik29gamer:
You sure? I thought the MSM tool itself was patched to just no longer check the phone, and just flash the image indiscriminately. Seems like something T-Mobile would have no control over stopping.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Correct... unless they release a new bootloader or so and stop downgrading like samsung, etc, it doesn't matter what firmware you're on.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
Incorrect about sim unlock if u are not previously sim unlocked the conversion even the new method will not sim unlock ur phone.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] aftabbabar:
Unfortunately, you are right. Originally people thought it also sim unlocks the phone.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
Finally got it! 7 days waiting exactly ;)

Don't need it now...already converted to International OS couple of days ago but good to have it just in case!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeffro64:
Those who have received their unlock.bin… Does the day you apply count as day 1 or does it start the next day? What I mean is I applied last Thursday after 13:00 so will I get my email for the download on Wednesday after 13:00 or will it be Thursday after 13:00?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
I made my request at noon Sat 1/5 and I got the response around noon the following Sat 1/12, so it was 8 days.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeffro64:
OK thanks for the info! I was wondering because I'll be leaving for the airport to go to work Thursday right about the time mine should be released. I was hoping the email would arrive before I leave so I could download and save to my PC. I guess I will have to download it to my phone. Thanks again.

Edit: Job just got moved to Saturday so all is good.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeffro64:
Well the time has come and gone...Nothing yet. I applied last Thursday at 13:47:29 so should have the email....Went and looked on the OnePlus site and it still just says applied. Not that I need it now LOL...I guess it will show when it shows.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
You'll probably get it later today ?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeffro64:
I just got it LOL....A little delay there.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
I got mine but don't need it anymore already converted to OOS. Good to have it just in case later down the road! ?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeffro64:

unlock please

QUOTE=MikeChannon]
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] raing:
two commands in fastboot.

1. upload the unlock .bin file

2. unlock the bootloader.

oneplus has a guide on their website: https://support.oneplus.com/app/ans...-bootloader-for-oneplus-6t-(t-mobile-version)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Haz3:
Yeah it's pretty straight forward if you can follow a few directions and have a basic understanding of adb
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] capsnbottles:
Awesome, do we enter the unlock.bin with adb? I'm familiar with that now

---------- Post added at 09:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

Great thanks, seems easy enough
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
It's the same way except you use the bin file in the unlock command.

It's not hard at all. The commands are easy, and it can help you learn the process of what's being done. Even if you're following a guide, you're reading and then typing in the commands, so it will help a lot with learning.

Also note to unlock all phones it's just one command. (Well ones that support fastboot unlock). If you want to root your phone, you'll need to just boot to TWRP and not replace recovery. We don't have a stable TWRP yet, so you'll just need to use fastboot to boot to TWRP and not write the img file to recovery replacing the recovery.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Krunk_Kracker:
Those who have never done anything with adb/fastboot, install Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Much easier than installing the android dev kit.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BIGWORM:
Shouldn't be doing ANY BL modding/rooting if you don't have a basic understanding on how to recover your phone, including ADB.:good:
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Krunk_Kracker:
This is true, but you gotta learn somehow.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Its the command and then drag and drop easy
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BIGWORM:
Relatively, yes.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dameon87:
No need for all of that anymore. https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools You can just download the platform tools now. No need to download and install the whole dev kit anymore. Absolutely no reason to use Minimal ADB and Fastboot anymore.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Exactly. I've actually seen so many threads where they have gone on forever trying to help someone and the underlying issue is they're using outdated minimal adb/fastboot that doesn't have all of the current commands.

And I guarantee we'll see them here too. I see them every time a new phone is released.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Krunk_Kracker:
Huh... I've had minimal installed so long I never looked at other options
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dameon87:
Yep. Every single time without fail. It's better to just get it right from the source and be done with it. Kinda just part of the routine hah.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Velrix:
So just a comment, I was on my phone and was unable to save this but OnePlus said via support on their website that T-Mobile is providing them the unlock files and that's what is taking so long. They have to wait for them so they can supply it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dameon87:
This has been covered a few times. There's really no point in bugging their support regarding this. I truthfully think they don't have any clue. The Bootloader unlock files would most certainly come from OP, not T-Mobile.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] shusuke028:
Submitted my request today (11/7) at 2pm Pacific time. Anxiously waiting some of the earlier people to get their code so development can begin for the TMO variant.

Been rooting since the HTC Thunderbolt days and I can't wait to see what the developers do with this phone!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] resist:
This is what most are wanting to know. We won't know until the .bin files start rolling out

Alrighty, thanks for the quick reply. Here's to hoping it'll be as easy as I said it. lol.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Free4ever2:
Submitted my request today at 11/7 8pm PST. Will definitely be monitoring this thread to see what ROM will work with the unlocked phone.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Speculation:

The 7-14 days wait is to make sure the grace period is over after purchase date. To make sure that OnePlus will be responsible for warranty issues, and not T-Mobile from people screwing up their phones.

Just a thought. No proof at all.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nima0003:
Yeah that's what I thought, it better be seven though. I might still return this.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Well only in one place does it say 14 days. When you go through the process it says 7.

We'll find out tomorrow when it's been 7 days on the first people processing it.

I got my phone on launch day. But I didn't get it unlocked and went the process until the weekend. I didn't see the first people go through the process until Friday of last week. I didn't see anyone go through the process on launch day, or from the Launch event in NYC.

I don't mind the wait too much. Besides loading 9.0.5, Viper4Android (I think someone mentioned the 6 version works on 6t). There's not a whole lot of development going on yet. Just some kernels. No Roms yet. I'd rather be waiting in these early days, than wait a couple of months from now when everyone is on holiday break and can do some real development.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
So legitimately a week for me since I did it just last night..hopefully some devs here or if anyone that gets their tokens today/tomorrow can reach out to some devs..specifically we need to get started on gettin TWRP built...so we need stuff to start being pulled and dissected..not sure if u know how to do any of that.

not nesecarily less u were smart and got sim unlocked first day and unlock request from oneplus
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Logix:
I have it legit takes a week@dj

@ organic root and recoevery works with a bit of fanagling they are posted here. We just need someone to port a rom for us version hardware. ( btw which does have dual sim readers.) ( not not the trey)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
so the current version of TWRP floating around here works? explain the finagling part lol.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] OrganicRobot:
The OP 5s used to have all the same bands and hardware as far as I can tell, if I remember correctly. Wouldn't the newer ones be similar? Either way, I have the dual sim tray coming from China already ;)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Logix:
if you check the thread it has a temp boot version and installer version you gota install temp and then permanant once booted ( notwilling to go into detail) then u root with what ever u want magisk etc.

Now the "hard" part comes the device tree in roms which im sure we can get a close one from int to boot the roms
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
I just looked it up and saw also seems decryption is still not working. seems as tho u need to do a temp boot from fast boot into recovery and then flash the zip file once inside to make it permanent.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Logix:
correct. I will git hub my recovery when i get home and have time . TMOUS wants to kill me with the sprint merger ive worked 100+ hours
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
This is what I'm most curious about. Are the partition layouts different? Is modem signed/locked? Would we be able to flash just the system partition?

Does it brick it? Semi brick it?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
LOL, also it seems that u need to be rooted in order to boot with a custom recovery as the permanent recovery... we really need to get decryption working so we can access the actual partition that twrp needs to patch in order to boot without root..definitely isn't an idea situation right now, but it is very early in the development game for this device.

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

we'll know in a bit if Logix can do a partition list pull and such a. it later, since I assume he's rooted his device.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Logix:
It does not brick it but OEM unlock does wipe your device per the intended function Note : first boot after oem unlock takes a while do NOT restart you can mess stuff up

I can get you anything you want when i get off tonight.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
whenever u unlock the boot loader thats always been the case in my experience, but reading the TWRP thread the dev specifically said to boot TWRP Permanently u need to have root installed, as the current version thats out can't do the system patch itself to allow booting due to decryption not working. in return flashing anything in recovery right now requires adb/otg..hope we can solve the decryption problem asap.

We need to get a telegram chan started for early development if one hasn't already been.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] LLStarks:
We need to pull and analyze those modem partitions.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Logix:
It is easily fixable you gota flash temp rooot wipe then permanant to get it to stick fyi the recoevery needs slight mods to fix it .
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Logix:
if you tell me what u need done i can do it when i get home.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] LLStarks:
I don't have the device, but I'm sure there's a partition table floating around for the international that we can reference.

Really curious to see whether secure boot is actually locking down the modem.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Logix:
I have one of the first bootloader unlocked us models in the world soooooooooooooooo we can do what ever with it
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
there has to be a list floating around considering twrp has already been built for the global version.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Free4ever2:
Just to clarify, I already did the OEM unlock via developer options, and that did not wipe my phone. It's when we unlock the bootloader with the unlock.bin that will cause a wipe.

If/when I get the unlock.bin, I'm going to make a backup first with the OnePlus Switch app, download that to a computer and restore it later.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
Correct when u flash the unlock.bin and then issue fastboot oem unlock before the first boot your device will wipe.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kramer987:
this is what happens with every phone after fastboot oem unlock since the dawn of (android) time

INTL OOS

You think you can flash that intl OOS 9.0.5 in fastboot for us?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dameon87:
Would not advise this at all. The ROM needs to be flashed in a way that omits the modem completely. Doing this may render your phone unable to use network functionality at all until someone pulls a flashable copy of the modem from a T-Mobile Variant. By all accounts it has been said that the Modem is signed for the T-Mobile variant. Please do not go doing reckless stuff without first consulting devs. Ruining a new phone is not what anyone wants.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Keep in mind we have no way to restore our stock firmware at this point so flashing blindly is not a good option . ... We gotta pull all our files and make our own patchwork firmware, just in case. As it stands we can fastboot oem get_device_info and see what's there..now once we have the rest of the fastboot commands we can pull the partitions.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Velrix:
Do you have any proof other than what is stated by a rep? I mean until we actually test this we are listening to them who could be covering their asses so they are not held accountable for letting everyone know you can do it.

At this point let's hold off and see. There is physically no difference in the device hardware at this point so the software "should" be the same at low level other than the carrier specific tweaks.
