[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Flowah:
Agreed with the last 2 sentences. Friendly, honest, perseverance.

I tried for 3 days chatting into T-Mobile support through their website or the phone app. Got nowhere.

Tried T-Mobile Help twitter. I was friendly. Initially got shot down, but I was honest. I hadn't paid it off. I'm just a guy who likes to root his phones. I've been with em for almost 3 years, brought my family over, even referred a few people. I said as much. Dunno if they checked any of that but it was true.

Took about 10 minutes from there.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] H4X0R46:
So probably noob question. I bought my device from op directly, so to unlock my bootloader, it's as simple as "fastboot oem unlock" right? No sim unlocking or waiting for a bin file? Just making double sure!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Demonface.24:
yes, I believe you're correct.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] mang0:
Yup! (oh don't forget to enable oem unlock in dev options)
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] H4X0R46:
Thanks! I can't wait to root this device! I know it's currently possible, but I'm waiting for a fully functional TWRP build first.

I haven't made any payments and already got the unlock. It's really about who you talk to and what you say to them. My 16+ years with T-Mobile, dating back to the Voicestream days, was absolutely a factor in my success on that front.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] :
Hey dude remember me. used to be fullofhell, soon as u unlock your BL if u don't wanna mess with twrp, I have a nice list of custom prerooted kernels..just.hmu
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] kramer987:
so just got the phone. how long does it take for my phone to register on tmobile's network? they can't process my unlock request until at least that happens.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] dblrnbw:
It doesn't even have to do that. Just call them from the phone and then let them know you just bought it outright and try calling them, Twitter usually works the best, and the chat feature if you're a T-Mobile subscriber.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] kramer987:
i didnt buy it outright. but i know what to say about all that. the chat person told me she didnt see the phone yet so she couldn't do anything. will try calling them now.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] dblrnbw:
Make sure they do permanent unlock as temporary won't allow you to unlock the bootloader.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] kramer987:
how do you contact them via twitter? ive never done it lol

edit: ok figured that out. waiting for someone to respond on both facebook and twitter
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] kramer987:
twitter DM and Facebook message support are extremely slow. didn't expect such delays in communication: about 10 minutes between messages
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] dblrnbw:
I always have trouble with people over the phone actually doing the unlock, but never had to try more than once for Twitter to unlock.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] danielrod:
It's crazy how everyone's experience varies so much. After getting denied on FB and Twitter, all I did was call 611 ONE time, told the lady I just wanted to unlock my bootloader with perm unlock, and within a minute she told me to open the unlock app and hit permanent unlock.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] kramer987:
i'm going on about 1.5 hours on facebook messenger now. they are so slow. i've been connected to 3 different people. i think the current person is a supervisor of some sort.

ok one hurdle down: i got temporarily unlocked. some account activity is good lol
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] H4X0R46:
Yeah I remember you! Hey thanks again for the builds for the old shamu! I've finally moved on to a new device, which I'm sure you can guess ;)

If u guys would read read and read all over this oneplus6t threads of news/discussion and the q and a section, about 4 of us have posted detailed photos showing this very thing. On xda it is never wise to only read the current page. Start at the beginning of it and skim and read

I'm sorry I'm not as savvy at searching for it. If you know where it is, can you please link to it instead of being condescending about it?

Thank you!

Saved those and sent the convos to both Twitter and Facebook. If that doesn't do it for me I'm going back to the store I bought the phones at and making a stink in there.

I know they'll just have me call 611, but then I'll have the store requesting I get it done.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] creator2456:
Went into the store and had the sales guy that sold me the phones call in. They even told him that it is impossible to bypass the 40 day restriction [emoji35]

Currently on hold with 611 trying to get a supervisor.

I'm ready to ditch T-Mo after getting these phones paid and taken care of. 15 year customer with 5 lines gone because they can't do for me what they are doing for others.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] dblrnbw:
Hey you'll get there eventually. You just need to talk to the right supervisor. Most other carriers won't unlock your device at all before it's paid off. T-Mobile has been relatively the easiest for me to get a phone unlocked through.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] creator2456:
30 minutes on hold so far...

What got me laughing is the rep I was talking to before getting put on hold said that they can't bypass the 40 day restriction because of federal law [emoji1787]

Edit

Aaaaannnddddd got disconnected before even getting to a person. Called back and back on hold.

Edit 2

Finally got through and they WILL NOT unlock the devices unless they are paid in full and used for 40 days. [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] d412k5t412:
T-Mobile Jump! customer here. Got the Oneplus 6T yesterday, and was able to convince T-Mobile to permanently unlock my phone on the same day. It took 2 phone calls, and 2 reps on twitter, but it finally happened. I just didn't accept no for an answer.

Waiting for my unlock token from Oneplus, which could take a while.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] robertzas:
All of you guys who are trying to do this outside of T-force (twitter or facebook messanger) are just gluttons for punishment. I had success the first time through facebook messanger, they even had to schedule a follow up because my phone's imei wasn't even registered with my line yet. They followed up with me every day for 3 days, and then one day I wake up and see a facebook messanger message that says basically "you're all set". They didn't even put up a fight. I have been with T-Mobile for 8 years, but some people on this thread have been about as long.

Store reps, calling customer service, messaging online, email, whatever is ALL TRASH. If you want REAL customer service from tmobile ONLY use twitter or facebook messanger. I use FB messanger simply because my NFL fantasy league uses it, and I already he it on my phone. Out of about 10 reps I worked with, only one was useless. The rest provided the best customer service I could home for from.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] creator2456:
Please get screenshots and names of the reps then so I have more to come at them with. You can OM them if you don't want to post publicly.

I've had nothing but them saying the policy no matter how I go about contacting them.

I do supposedly have a follow-up call tomorrow, but I'm not holding out hope at this point.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] fischwrap:
except for those of us with neither a facebook or twitter account...
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Shpongled01:
I would suggest just coming at them really nice and direct via Twitter. Don't try to throw screenshots in their face, this hasn't seemed to get anyone anywhere so far, they seem to always say something like we can't consider other customers experience.

Assure them you've been a good customer and don't plan on leaving them any time soon.

Maybe tell them this is the first ever carrier locked one plus and you're really disappointed because you bought the phone without knowing it was locked.

Maybe try the travelling excuse.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Demonface.24:
I contacted them on Twitter and I was able to get it unlocked, Just tell them your planning on going on an international trip and you need to have your phone permanently unlocked.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
Has the business SIM method been proven to work? Shot in the dark here, any chance there is anyone in southern New Hampshire with a business SIM that would let me pop it in my phone for a few minutes and unlock the device? Will drive to you of course. Maybe a small fee for the inconvenience?

Got my SIM permanently unlocked tonight with an EIP and I have only been with TMO for 3 years. Used TForce on Twitter and chatted with Dee. All I did was ask for a permanent unlock as I will be traveling to China. She had me very my account and that was it, she unlocked it, I went to the unlock app and hit permanent, rebooted and applied for my bootloader token......now the wait begins.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Valkalkas:
I'm on JOD, with no payments made towards the device yet and been a customer for about two years now.

First I got on Twitter and I stated I wanted to unlock the phone so I could unlock the bootloader and that I was surprised I couldn't because OnePlus phones are known for their customization. They gave me the speech about having to meet these requirements before the device could be unlocked. I stated there are numerous reports of customers having it unlocked by requesting it. Denied me half-heartedly again saying I had to meet the requirements. I asked why I was being singled out when others are doing it. Tone completely changes, apologizes to me that I'm feeling singled out and states they will try to submit the unlock for me. :p Said they would follow up in two days cause it could take 24-48 hours to submit.

Next day I get an email saying there was an error and the rep needs to resubmit the request. Go back on Twitter and explain the email I got and ask for it to be resubmitted. The rep I got this time said unlocking the bootloader is not a valid reason but because I had already been told they would unlock the device they would go ahead and process the unlock right now. Unlocked phone 2 minutes later. Bootloader unlock request submitted 5 minutes later. Now just waiting.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] creator2456:
Screenshots please?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] creator2456:
Woowhooo....somewhat.

I FINALLY got someone on Twitter that acknowledged it could be done. She took about an hour to reply that she could 'pull some strings' if I paid half of each device off.

I wasn't going to let this slip, but I wasn't going to pay that much.

I countered by saying I could pay $75 each and she accepted. I gave her the payment reference numbers and within 5 minutes both 6Ts are unlocked.

Now time to submit to OnePlus.

Gotcha, it can be good to have even if you don't use it to contact TMO, I find I get good results that way. You can also deactivate the account and be free of it.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Hello everyone. I have the locked T-Mobile 6T, and was considering unlocking it too.

Questions:

1) Does unlocking the phone mean you get updates from that point on DIRECTLY from OnePlus, or will they STILL come from T-Mobile (and therefore be delayed)?

2) Are there any negatives to unlocking this phone? ANY?! lol

3) If you have any related comments to this topic that you think I should know, please feel free to detail them in your response.

Thank you!!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] SmileBigNow:
You get the updates from T-Mobile since it's still a T-Mobile device and juts unlocking the Bootloader won't change anything in that regard
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
No I was referring to unlocking the phone itself, NOT the bootloader. lol

Anyway, I prob won't. Just remembered that you have to pay off phone first to even get permission to permanently unlock it.

[General Questions and Answers] J_E_F_F:
I am wondering if there is a potential speed benefit for a 128gb EMMC module over a 64gb module (assuming same brand etc.)

We routinely see that SD cards have a higher write speed, the larger they are, and sometimes a slight bump in read speed.

Just wondering if EMMC is the same way, and it might be worth a larger module for a speed advantage since the phones I am looking at don't have UFS. I looked, but did not see any tests/benchmarks showing such results, just the theoretical max spec bandwidth/design.

Great ROMs many thanks for the man behind of the ROM, but we need to find out which one the most stable.

So please put yours comment here about thats ROM, later people can decide which one the best ROM for their BA, thanks before for the comment. :)

My Comment (i've tested with XDA IIs):

1. Feature: more in xplode

2. Visual: more nice in xplode

3. Sound: more loud in pv_dvh

4. Wifi & BT: same, Wifi can work even in WPA-PSK TKIP conection and also BT Connection (GPS, Headset). Both of them cannot use the comm manager to switch on wifi

5. Speed: more faster in pv_dvh (cause the memory only left 93.09MB make slower in xplode??)

6. Stability: same

7. Compatibility: more in xplode

8. Support: a lot support from xplode, you must learn viet language to get support in pv_dvh :D
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Grin59:
So, I have finally learned what in my charger makes it fast. It uses the 5V and not the 9V, not sure why there's a 9V if phones use a 5V but I learned that the more amps the faster the charging. Like I currently have a ZTE 1.5A charger and a friend has a 4A dash charger for their OP3. Mine takes over an hour and their's takes a hour at most they claim. So if the V20 supports 3.0 charging, what's the most amps I can use in a charger to get the fastest charging possible? Would it be unsafe if I went to some extreme amount, like would it make my phone over charge and blow up or something?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
The total power charged (watts) = voltage x amperage. So its a function of both volts and amps. For the fastest charging get a charger that supports qc3. This is standard that includes both how fast to charge and a signature that the phone and charger support qc3 to actually use the faster charging.

If you get a charger that doesn't support quick charge but some other standard the phone and charger will see that they don't support that other charging standard and charge at a safe slow rate.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
The V20 can support QC 3 with a custom kernel, for example with mk2000 oreo 1.1 beta with a qc3 3 charger it indicates HVDCP_3 (HVDCP is one of the important parts of quick charge)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ivoh95:
I've been using exclusively pd or qc3 chargers with my v20 and both properly work, verified with a usb power meter. Qc3 does the little 200mv adjustments as expected. Although to be fair i do run mk2000
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] One Twelve:
Have always doubted whether it was QC 2 or 3 but the log shows QC2.0TA in the service menu. Voltages measured by an inline meter are closer to 9V and around 1.3A (only with screen off) which suggests QC2. Power in shoots up to 15W initially and then drops to 13W and then 11 something W.

QC3 would be closer to 7V something with a higher amp input.. That's what the QC3 power bank used to charge the V20 accepts when charging itself.

This is stock btw, not rooted nor using any roms.

I found this interesting and hooked up my 100W laptop usb c charger to the phone and then use a usbc inline meter and found it did quick charge. At the same rate as Qc2. The meter read 8.91V @1.5A . This is surprising as i'd have thought usbc operates at 5V and a higher amperage.

When i looked at battery test screen from the service menu, the item for High voltage TA status reads as OFF. Yet my plugable usb c inline meter records around 13.5W going in with screen off. The voltage was 8.91V 1.5A. That's not USB-PD afaik, which should have said 5 V and a higher current draw. My laptop charger does not do Qualcom quick charge at all, So i'm not sure what is going on here.

I've been wary of using my laptop charger to charge the phone as i'd read an early report that some people had a bootloop problem and it was caused by USB PD chargers.

Fixed the code for you, it was missing a # before the * model number

Interesting, when i hook up a ravpower power bank that is also QC3 comparible i still see QC2. It charges no faster than the stock charger LG includes in the box

Not in my case with a laptop charger, it just reads as OFF.. Do you remember where you read this maybe a link.

However when i use the laptop charger to usb C PD charge my power bank, the meter reads 4.89V 2.77A. That is a usb c PD charge. These are not the figures i get when using the laptop charger with the V20 as indicated above.

I have mixed views about USB-PD and its suitability for phones. Laptops have larger cooling areas and so USB PD is fine with them. My laptop has a 100W charger and its charging as i type this and i don't find the laptop gets warm at all. The history with the 6P & First pixel showed people with battery problems and having to replace the battery shortly after a year. Particularly with the 6P. Not heard any problems with the second gen pixel as yet. Maybe its still too early. But even with qualcom quick charge and i use it all the time there should not be any problems with battery after a mere year.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
Plain USB_HVDCP is quickcharge 2.0, when its 3 it shows as USB_HVDCP_3 (if you use a custom kernel like mk2000 and a qc3 charger its possible)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] One Twelve:
What made me think the V20 uses QC3 is the inline meter i used with it said so. This btw is from the stock charger too. But the voltages do not convince me
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
The voltage between qc2 and 3 are pretty much the same, but 3 has more levels in between the max and min voltage so less energy is wasted.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] One Twelve:
They're not the same. I remember a post from the HTC 10 forum and that phone comes with a QC3 certified charger and the volts were in the 7 range with higher amps. Which btw is the same as when my ravpower power bank charges with a QC3 compliant but not certified charger
