I'd like to know this as well. My wife just ordered a OP6 last night but it won't be here for about a week, shipping from China. Definitely going to try out her sim card
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] candleworth7808:
Finally contacted Tmo help. Explained I wanted unlocked bootloader to access second sim. He understood and said he'll try to do perm unlock. After verifying my account he explained, since I've had the phone for 2 days it was not showing as option, but will contact me in 3 days to try again. Not sure if this is runaround talk or not but he seemed knowledgeable in what I was asking and needed. Hopefully it works out.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] saurabh.bhalla90:
Yeah, I understand that those are different unlocks. I should have maybe asked the question in a different thread.

I got Tmob to unlock my phone by paying 2 months EIP.

Just submitted the request for the bin. Now the waiting begins :D
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] dchurch85:
Just got my code. I'll unlock the bootloader here in a bit. I'm not by a computer for a few hours. Woot!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Just got mine, it was at exactly the same time as I submitted, so the process is definitely automated.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Jealous...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ledvedder:
How many days did you have to wait?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Addiso:
I see you submitted yesterday. Mine took a week as I'm sure many others. So you still have 6 days.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Exactly 7 days, down to the time.

Bootloop wasn't resolved.. the member went and got a new phone from T-Mobile..he bootlooped because he tried to flash an OTA not a complete rom. Those who flashed using the all partitions bat file for 9.0.0.5 were able successfully boot.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] shusuke028:
The bootloop he was referring to was the bootloop the person initially experienced after he flashed 9.0.4, and it booted up fine, then proceeded to bootloop. He fixed that bootloop, then tried flashing 9.0.5 incorrectly, so it started bootlooping again.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] resist:
Correct...I'm referring to the second user that tried to flash in that thread and initially had a boot loop due to an error in his method and then tried again and was successful
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] shusuke028:
Ah ok cool, my bad lol
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] majortaylor:
Just submitted mine. Let the wait begin..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BIGWORM:
So people are flashing 9.0.5 on the TMO variant?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzmanj1:
From what I have been reading, yes. But its a risk. But there have been some users who have flashed the full firmware with no issues. You can read about it here:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6t/help/t-mobile-variant-oneplus-6t-stock-t3865350
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] resist:
Nope, not your bad. Your good. You are correct. :)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nima0003:
Yo I just got my token but I submitted 6 days ago ?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
Not sure why they can't have a system like htc where it's instant that said my token won't be coming for another 5 days lol
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nima0003:
Exactly
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] dhoang:
FYI. Just got my unlock token. Exactly 7 days. You should get your soon.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzmanj1:
I should be getting mine in the next 12 hours at most, hopefully
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] dhoang:
Now the question is should I flash 9.0.5 or wait? Don't want to risk bricking my phone.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzmanj1:
Honestly for me. This whole time it's been wanting root. But that being said. I'd love to he on 9.0.5. but I will wait for a means to make a nandroid backup first just in case. Then I'll proceed with the 9 0.5. but for now I'll just root. I know a few have successfully flashed the full inage, not the OTA, and been successful is that. But without a lifeline, TWRP, I'll stick with root and leave it that for a little bit.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Chilled26:
Just submitted mine today. Let the waiting game begin.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
U can install twrp permanently the only issue is that decryption doesn't work..laso if u install twrp permanently u must be rooted as magisk does the patch twrp would normally do but does it systemless.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Wait.

Don't flash it right now. "It's working" is from a small group of people who don't even know exactly which partitions were flashed. They flashed the full fastboot ROM. But none of them put TWRP in the same directory, so many partitions didn't flash. The basic ones did, and it booted. But at the same time it turned into a hard brick if you updated over the air.

Give it some time. It won't take long for this to settle and it will be known exactly what we can and cannot do with our phones.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
This without knowing which partitions failed or without the critical partitions being flashed we could be left with bootloader mismatch errors and the like with future updates that could cause issues. Best thing is to unlock and be patient till we can figure out exactly what is going on..most of the ppl with unlocks right now have dove in head first and have no Dev or testing background.. while a full rom flash might work now it could possibly be broken later.. due to certain things not being flashed properly.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] infamousvincci:
How did u root?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
I watched the flash log as the process went through, every partition that was flashed went through as okay, so unless I missed something, I don’t believe full flashes check hw/rom type, but OTA zips probably do, hence the softbrick by the last guy that tried to do it...

---------- Post added at 03:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 AM ----------

Try one plus rooter; it’s what I used.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dameon87:
TWRP, however, was -not- in the directories and some of those partitions cannot be flashed through fastboot and have to be done through recovery. First guy who tried it and then took the OTA bricked... If all the partitions had been flashed correctly, the OTA should have worked... At least going off the preliminary results that the phone works fine on the global firmware.

This is why people should not blind flash though... Too eager and don't have all the details. -_-
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
I have a feeling the ota updates something that the bat files don't due to TWRP not being installed..no one so far has permanently installed twrp as the recovery and flashed the full rom imgs with the bat files..till someone is brave enough to do so and log what gets flashed in the ota we won't know..I have a feeling aboot or something is updated in the ota..aboot is likely part of critical and nothing in critical is being flashed without twrp..my instinct is telling that version mismatches or signatures within critical are being checked when u flash ota..problem is we have no easy way to restore back..and it seems a brick directly from the ota is blocking access to fastboot..that is concerning..without being able to flash inside edl/msm there's gonna be a few bricks.. then throw in the 7 day wait period for a token.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nima0003:
Kind of off topic, but despite reading all the risks and knowing certain partitions won't be flashed, I went ahead and flashed international rom. I've noticed that the colors look way more saturated and better on this rom than T-Mobile. And yes I'm on the same color profile.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Can't wait to get mine Tuesday so I can have latest. Just hope full flashes keep working for the life of the device
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzmanj1:
People can do what they want in regards to flashing full 9.0.5. Problem is, we don't know what this could do for the device for future updates since there are partitions that are not flashing. Until we know further what to do, I seriously urge users to just be patient and wait. Again, you can do whatever you want, but I would wait. Still no token yet, hoping to get it later this morning. But I'm definitely going to wait. For all we know, another 1 to 3 days and we could have so much sorted out. Once we get all the details on what's happening, this can progress quickly. A little patience won't hurt and could benefit you for updates in the future. These are just my thoughts. For the record, yes I terribly want to flash 9.0.5, but will wait.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Haz3:
I'm with you on this. I'm typically the flash and dash kinda type but I can't justify going back through the whole unlock process again in the case of a hard brick. I'll stick with magisk and viper for now. Should get my .bin anytime in the next 24 hours, some one who sent their token in after me got their .bin before me so we shall see??
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
I posted the flash log in the other thread, doesn’t appear to fail flashing any partitions so far...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
Same here, I should have my token this afternoon or evening. But I want to know everything is safe and we have EVERYTHING working before flashing the update. I have patience and don't mind waiting at all.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
can we just flash straight up 9.0.5? or is 9.0.4 required then update will full9.0.5 flash
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mepo12:
Once we get our unlock.bin can we just download the 9.0.5 zip from OnePlus website then flash it??

Or is there other stuff we have to do??
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] vandizzam:
What are the steps to rooting with magisk?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] rootmaster96:
So when flashing, I should extract the others_flashall and then put the TWRP fajita img in that extracted folder so that the critical partitions in addition to the basic ones can be flashed via the flash all partitions bat?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] vandizzam:
Are the steps to install magisk on T-Mobile OnePlus 6t same as unlocked version?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Yes
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Shpongled01:
Wait, so you've rooted and installed viper without unlocking your bl?

Edit: NVM, I get what you're saying.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Haz3:
Ok lol
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
If u really want to test criticals u can run only the bat that flashes criticals. but TWRP has to be placed within the same directory as the imgs and bat. Now u also should turn echo on within the bat in order to see exactly what is going on with echo off it just shows a black screen..now here's the thing about critical there's a more than likely chance u will brick ur device we have no clue what is causing the ota to fail and brick devices. and without a reliable way to recover u might have to go back to tmo to replace the device.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
I think we need a fully working recovery before we can flash criticals.

I just attempted it and it failed: https://pastebin.com/JPxW8eSs
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
So why the hell are u bootlooped it doesn't make sense nothing in the log says anything got pushed. This is odd. Wondering if we need to issue the unlock critical command..I don't think the 6 required it or the global 6t tho.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
I bootlooped because I didn't do a factory reset, or at least that's what fixed the bootloop, so its the only thing that makes sense. But I also noticed with the backup script and flash critical script, bot tried to push to system storage then flash, but obviously that's not possible for twrp right now, hence the failure, I wonder if we can flash off of an OTG device...

Edit: nvm, obviously can't use an OTG device simultaneously, smh, gonna need a full working recovery then.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
Ok so u we're able to get past ur last bootloop with a fresh restore?? That's good to know..thing is twrp should be in otg when connected to ur pc.. something isn't right tho cause the global version has the same twrp issues and I haven't seen anyone mention critical not flashing.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
I don't think anyone noticed, since it doesn't exactly throw an error or something and the system runs fine without the updated criticals. And we're using the same recovery, so of course same issues across the board. If someone with an international version can attempt flashing the criticals via that bat file, then we can know for sure whether it works for them or not...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djkinetic:
Yeah we need someone over there to test this with echo on for us to be conclusive.

Got my unlock.bin. Will be unlocking as soon as I get home from work.

It was exactly 7 days I think to the minute. But now that I'm home, I have to cook dinner. So I'll be unlocking after that.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
So I'm having an issue. First of I've used adb so many times it's not funny. But I can figure out the bin file for unlocking. I can't move it from my downloads to the cmd. Any help right now would be appreciated. I've read the directions on the OnePlus site, but it doesn't explain how I'm supposed to move the bin file. Been trying this for almost an hour and I'm almost ready to give up.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] rootmaster96:
Shift + right click in the downloads folder where the bin file is and then click "open cmd here." From there you can use the fastboot command
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
Here's my other issue, I've downloaded this file about 5 times, but can't find it at all on my computer. Any idea where the download goes as it's not in my download file?

Nevermind, I got it. Just had a bit of a brain fart. Its been a long day, but im unlocked and rooted now.

What's seen when you click to download the file from op

I know once it's done we really don't rely on the warranty, but could they deny a claim just from downloading the link? Even with flashing it back to stock and making it undectable from the phone?

The whole 'Will' be voided is different from the usually 'May' be voided.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] amg83:
Will is different from May but you can tell it was translated from a different language and it could be due to poor translation. OnePlus has always honored their warranty for rooted users (hardware-wise anyway) but this may be referring to T-Mobile's warranty? I'm really not sure how that is supposed to be handled. Maybe someone else will have luck getting more info about warranty process with the variant.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KMHartford:

I'm stuck on that 24 month we give you credit for your phone bull**** so my 6T is not fully free from t-mobiles grasp.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Shpongled01:
Did you guys read any of this thread or just immediately post to complain? A majority of the users in this thread and others have gotten unlocked while still on eip and even without paying a cent of the phone off other than the tax.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Shemploo:
So I called and told them I'm about to return it, because of that they told me that they will perm unlock it. but since I just traveled overseas and had to get a temp unlock, i had to wait for the temp unlock to go away before the permanent one worked.

I asked to speak to a manager, and that person told me that they scheduled a call back in early December, and that they will then permanently SIM unlock for me on that day. Which should allow OEM unlock then.

I think/hope I'm set then, just have to wait for that temporary one to end.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mepo12:
how long did everyone wait for their unlock bin? I requested it november 7th and its nov 14 soooo.....where it at?! does it take exactly 7 days, on the hour?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Shpongled01:
Quick question, I've gotten my .bin file but it's not called "unlock.bin" it's a string of about 25-30 random characters followed by .bin

Do I use that as is or rename it, or is it a bunk download?

I'm on a Mac, does that affect this process?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Nope that is it, open a terminal or however way u Mac people fastboot, adb reboot bootloader, then fastboot devices, fastboot cust-unlock thenrightheredrag redownloadedfile .....hit enter.. check the actual guide from OnePlus for the exact command so I don't mess u up. Then u fastboot oem unlock, yea unlock.. then get rid of that **** firmware...lol

What's the best method to install magisk without twrp? I can't use the OnePlus rooter because I'm on a Mac and it requires windows it seems.
