This is not a rooting thread, but there is a link to two guides on how to root at the bottom of the thread in the optional section. I’d advise you to use the one plus rooter option since it will do all the work for you.

Is your device sim unlocked?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] stealthj:
Thanks for being so helpful on this thread! You have a great deal of patience.

After I flashed 9.0.6 over the tmo rom, I did not root or anything like that, just left it from the factory.

Flashed 9.0.7 the same way and it booted/working fine! Still looking for dual sim tray...

looks like my poco f1 finally shipped out in time for franco kernel to be released! 6T for sale?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Thanks for the info, I’ll update the thread to reflect how system mods affect the rom.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
The first step to get the device sim unlocked, without that we can’t proceed, so get the device sim unlocked through T-Mobile, then come back here, tag me or send a pm and I’ll try to guide you through the process, or someone else here will

Sorry for a potentially dumb question, but I've seen talk about flashing modems. What is the current status of this? Is it possible, and are we better off using international or the tmobile version?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] eapo15:
Thanks s lot Dark nightmare..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] LLStarks:
Apparently the international version is Cat16 (1.0 Gbit) and the T-Mobile version is Cat18 (1.2 Gbit). Not sure if this is enforced in firmware (more likely) or hardware.

Can someone on stock t-mobile pull their modem please from 9.0 v2? I have 9.0v1, which I'll post when I get home here for testing.

I literally was going to ask the same, forgot to backup v2 modem , cuz I wanted/want to make Flash

able zip.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
I'll flash and pull the file if no one has posted it by the time I've gotten home, I will only be providing the latest modems.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
So I take it that if we flash this over tmo we need to flash the tmo modem afterwards?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
Awesome,

Not really , is just users choice.... But [MENTION=4204048]Dark Nightmare[/MENTION] can correct me if I'm wrong.

tried this and now im getting a bootloop of build version and hw version arent a match
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
What exactly did you flash?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Yes, its a user choice if they'd like to flash back to the t-mobile modem.

Update: latest modems now available here, includes a bat script, put device in fastboot, unzip files to your working folder and run the script. Added a section to the optional part of the guide.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jkeith1:
Google voice and the TMobile app both work, just not the in dialer vvm.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
May be a signature mismatch after all, I'll remove that section, thank you for testing.

On a complete side note, I have confirmed that the upgrade process works regardless of what firmware version you're upgrading from, therefore, I have removed parts of the guide and now it is simply a conversion process and a follow up updating process once you have converted to the global rom, it requires the full rom, but it is much smoother than full flashing and has all necessary steps for both modified and unmodified devices.

Perk of local upgrade? We get the update when the global ROM does.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Dialer voicemail seems to be hit or miss, works for some, not for others, I'm still waiting on mango to switch her sim to confirm whether the sim card is causing the issue.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
I downloaded the full 9.07 last night and had no issues when I installed it just a bit ago, no mismatch at all.

And wow, the difference between stock tmo is so much better. It's snappier and fingerprint reader is much, much faster. ?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
The mismatch is the modem with the overall firmware, basically the modem that he flashed wasn’t packed with the global firmware, it came from the T-Mobile firmware,, therefore it may have caused issues.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mang0:
Apparently I'm waiting too! Thought I had an extra sim card laying around but haven't been able to find one, so I'll have to see if I can obtain one...

For now just using Google voice for voicemail.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Well +1 for working google voice at least, too bad you're all the way on the other side of the country, I've got a few just sitting on my desk, lol.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Deeplead:
Sorry for this noob question. I had migrated from T-Mo ROM to International 9.0.5 ROM and rooted.. Now, to update to 9.0.7, do I just do the local upgrade?

Also, is TWRP mandatory after the local upgrade? What are the advantages?

Thanks
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Addiso:
You can do local upgrade yes. TWRP isn't so mandatory in the sense if you just plan on staying stock and rooted, but I wouldn't mind having a recovery to boot to to undo a softbrick while tinkering with your device.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Deeplead:

had the same exact problem.if your on 9.0.7 you can't go backwards..not saying you did but that's what happened to me..your going to have to use the msmtool that's the only way out..I made a mistake and tried to twrp flash backwards don't work..lol..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Alec_Lightwood:
[MENTION=2969421]jimlightner[/MENTION]

Tried to local upgrade from 9.0.5 to 9.0.7. used the msmtool, fixed everything and now I'm on 9.0.6. kinda scared to go to 9.0.7 now :eek:
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jimlightner:
Glad you got it squared away.Just flash it with twrp that's what I did and everything will be cool..just remember to re flash magisk BEFORE you re boot..I'm back on 9.0.7 and it's running flawless..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Alec_Lightwood:
I'm not rooted tho.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jimlightner:
Oh okay that's why you did the local update..so have you tried to call T-Mobile and ask them to sim unlock for you?I seen a few guys on here still owe money to T-Mobile and got sim unlocked.gotta be a pain in the ass though..lol..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Alec_Lightwood:
My device was purchased full price. I'm SIM unlocked and bootloader unlocked already. Flashed the international 9.0.6 to my TMobile 6T no problem. If I'm reading the OP right , then to local upgrade I download the full ROM and just install it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jimlightner:
Just install TWRP and flash that way much easier in my opinion.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
2nd this as well. It's just much easier.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ZAVALARR:
So I converted from T-Mobile branded to international do I need to keep volte on or can I just turn it off I'm not sure if it's needed
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
If you're just concerned about the icon, you can turn it off.

Volte is not needed really but it does give you faster call connections because with it off, the data connection will have to drop to 4g every single time.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Twrp is mandatory if you have a modified system before doing the local upgrade, if you're upgrading via fastboot files then it isn't needed...

If your system isn't modified local upgrade is simpler and faster, also skips the need to flash custom recovery/magisk, I tested this myself just before updating the post.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Not true. I was rooted with magisk working. Did local upgrade and just lost root, had to re root and I used daemeon87 patched boot image. Worked like a charm.

Twrp never been on my device.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
You may be right that twrp is the cause of the bootloop when installing the update via twrp, but I'm just going with the two general approaches, thanks for the additional data, I'll update the post accordingly later today. I have done both local upgrade and twrp install, twrp install caused a loop, but my device was modified, hence the conclusion as similar report came from others.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Alec_Lightwood:
Good news. Did a local upgrade and I'm smoothy running 9.0.7 :D

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3876701

Note: when I and others have tried the "Local upgrade" feature with older OxygenOS international releases (e.g. 9.0.5), it would cause the T-Mobile device to brick and get stuck in the "Device mismatch" bootloop. This time it's different! Was able to re-lock bootloader after sideloading the full official 9.0.7 OTA and retain all functionality. It is likely we will even be able to take official OTA upgrades after this...if so, I consider this a full conversion :)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nileshdd:

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] treetolber:
So I did have some issues with the modem after the flash. But it seemed to be temporary. I flashed the 9.0.7 straight into the T-Mobile stock rooted ROM and everything was fine until I got out of the WiFi range and had to rely on mobile network. It then not data and couldn't perform any app that required data. Even the dialer would dial. I rebooted and everything came back. So I tried fishing the newest version of the T-Mobile modem which failed so I flashed the 9.0.7 modem back. So far I haven't had any more issues. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts or input on any of this. Also anyone know why the T-Mobile modem wouldn't flash?

Thanks.

There is a post in this thread and a thread supporting a potential full international conversion by local upgrade. What are the differences between that and this guide? And what are the potential risks associated with flashing 9.0.7 and re locking the bootloader? Will OTA's be a possibility or is too soon to tell?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jesus10161:

If no one else has tried this I will try to flash 9.0.0.5 and then try the decrypt patch once i get my token..I would try to manually flash critical in twrp but the possibility of getting stuck without fastboot is making me a bit gunshy.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
For anyone knowledgeable with firmware dumps, I noticed the dumped files and the images in these zips are pretty much the same, I'll be flashing some of them manually later to test, but figured I'd ask ahead to be cautious, can we use the dumped t-mobile stock images to flash? Since these are image dumps from a device and not official images, I'll try to match up the correct files with the official images and test if I can revert to stock tmo firmware, any help would be greatly appreciated.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Krunk_Kracker:
As far as I can tell, not until someone converts it to a fastboot'able install. The OTA's install as a .bin

Help please... Ok, got my unlock.bin from OnePlus earlier, went in to unlock bootloader, put the phone into fastboot mode, fired up adb, brought up the powershell, connected phone, put in first command "fastboot flash cust-unlock unlock_token.bin", hit enter and the adb says, waiting on phone... why? I thought it was going to take off and then go with next command. So, the option when booting into fastboot on the phone, at the top it says "start" under that fastboot and under that other things that are not highlight and volume up doesn't change anything....do I need to be in Recovery mode or what? None the guides say to do anything but put that command into cmd line. All my previous rooting was with Note 4 and it is different...what am I missing? Do I have to rename the unlock.bin cuz right now it came from OP like this "34af5ee7c77cf2d7731abde83c7d415853793bee56faadc07 4d9a824f0781603.bin" , none of the guides say anything about renaming it... any help is appreciated

"Fastboot flash cust-unlock" but this time don't type in unlock_token.bin drag where ever your "34af5eeeghfiru4hfidiwheyxyshwhehdhd.bin" unlock file is located to the cmd and hit enter

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Addiso:
Phone requires to be in fastboot to unlock the bootloader, after flashing the unlock token. It gives you the rights to use the simple fastboot oem unlock command which in term unlocks our bootloader.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] moist_line:
I followed the steps and chose OOS .6, successfully got to the boot screen and setup but my phone keeps shutting down after 5 seconds over and over. Can someone advise me? Thank you.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
That post is literally exactly what the steps to update after conversion of this guide says, we had this discussion a few pages back when we tested and confirmed being able to local upgrade, on a side note, to whomever mentioned a mismatch updating from 9.0.5, that may have been user error, I updated from 9.0.5 perfectly fine. I won't jump ahead of myself to say it is a full conversion until we test taking OTA's...

Though oddly enough while on 9.0.5, OTA updates refused to show on my device and clearly if we're gonna relock the bootloader, there won't be any twrp, but using TWRP has proven to brick the device, so there's a lot of testing to do if anyone would like to volunteer...

But I won't go as far as to say it is a full conversion and the local upgrade is already known, the guide was updated to reflect this when 9.0.7 was released and tested.

Yes you need to unlock to make the conversion.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Reflash and try again, why 9.0.6 and not .7?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] phillymade:
Is it possible that the 7 update was a fluke of sorts that we are able to update via local vs fastboot? I'm still not entirely clear on how a full conversion differs from what you guys have already achieved thus far. In my opinion, it seems to be a full conversion, albeit some small caveats to the flashing process. Am I missing something other than being able to re lock and update OTA?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] moist_line:
Thank you for the response. Only because of the local upgrade option that has been mentioned here (I want to try it out) if it makes a difference at all. But okay, I will go ahead and try 7.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
A full conversion would essentially convert files that we aren't touching with the current process, such as the bootloader, allowing us to not only take OTA updates, but possibly having that second imei show up, use the standard sms tool, etc. Upside of the local conversion so far is that the bootloader can be relocked should you be complete stock, which is excellent for HD users, etc, but should we not be able to take OTA updates, there is the option of using the local upgrade method, which is perfect for the purist, but still concerns me that a future update may update criticals, which in turn if the device isn't fully converted, cause a brick...

I'm actually about to test something to check if the bootloader was changed or not, so gimme two seconds.

Update: It may actually be a full conversion, bootloader did not require the unlock.bin file, testing something else, then I'll give downgrading/OTA updates a shot.

Update 2: MSMDownloadTool still fails.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] phillymade:
So this is potential race against the clock. Be able to gain total control or face certain death of sorts. Interesting. Are you suggesting OP is in control of the fate of development of this device by a future update then with changing something within the critical partitions?.

As far as having two slots, you say there are/should be two bootloaders? Would they carry the same build number/version as well? Also, with there being an a & b slot, would there be a possibility of running two ROM's as well or is that beyond what I am comprehending.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
I wouldn't say OP is going to control the fate of development, the bootloader is unlockable, both device types can run the same rom, the hardware is the same, its just on the official side things differ and most people including myself prefer the global firmware, being able to local upgrade is so nifty, its a simpler process and if we have working OTA updates, the average user who isn't as technical or one who won't want to be constantly dependent on a PC for updates would find it much more convenient to receive those as a standard OP device would, instead of being constantly tied to a hands on flashing process. So the local upgrade option makes that simpler, now if we can get OTA updates, that would seal the deal. My last test tells me that our bootloader was changed, so that's a plus.

The bootloaders may differ, since local updates/OTA's only write to one slot, should something go wrong, you can go back to your previously working slot, and nope we can't dual boot roms, unless they're exactly the same in a way, since despite having their own systems, they share the same userdata partition, which causes conflicts, I tried running stock t-mobile firmware/9.0.5, no go.... how close the similarity needs to be i'm not sure, but I'd say one ROM changing app data may make things hairy regardless.
