[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rootnooby:
my understanding is that your Google fi Sim will default to T-Mobile only if you use it in a OnePlus 6t. you will lose the network switching benefit to Sprint and US Cellular that you get on a Google fi approved phone. So, effectively you'll have T-Mobile service on one sim and Verizon on the other.

I have heard that if you use a Google pixel with Google fi and have it set up as an esim, you can use a secondary Verizon sim in the open SIM tray. That would mean you'd have the full benefits of Google fi service as well as Verizon. As noted below, only one sim at a time can control data. Long and short, you need a pixel phone to do this because the OnePlus 6t cannot fully utilize Google fi service.

Take everything I said above with a grain of salt because I do not have a pixel phone. I am however using a OnePlus 6t with T-Mobile and XFinity mobile. The problem with my setup is that Xfinity mobile only gives me calling. I cannot receive text or use mobile data with my Xfinity Sim. This may change later once Xfinity approves "bring your own Android phone" to the service.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] johnquix:
If this works exactly as you said it would be perfect because I don't care if my Fi sim ever connects to data, in fact I would like it to never connect since I have unlimited with Verizon and Fi costs me $10 per GB.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] johnquix:
Thanks for bringing up that point it is very likely important to someone but for me my current Fi phone is on TMobile 99% of them anyway because sprint has very little coverage in my area. US cellular is non existent for me as well.

I have a Pixel 2 Xl now for Verizon and I thought about getting a Pixel 3 when they came out. I spent about an hour on the phone with Google about this subject and unfortunately according to Google (and a few threads here on XDA) the Pixel will not allow you do have both Esim and Sim active at the same time. So if I have my work number (Verizon) active, my old personal (Fi) will not receive calls or text and vice versa. You have to manually switch the service to use each.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Nixer:

I guess Gixel 3 allows using eSIM and normal SIM simultaneously with Android Q update. Bear in mind there's still a single radio so while call on one SIM is ongoing any calls on other SIM can't be known.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] AsuraDas:
I have fi (tmo) and unreal (att) works perfect. Only thing is messages sometimes will fail to send. Using hangouts does fix it, only problem is that Android messages is a better app in general
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ysfk7:
works great on Tmo and ATT. using Google Messages, Google Dialer and data works fine. i have rooted converted TMo OP6t with dual sim tray. Tmo VoWifi/VoLTE works, but ATT only support VoLTE on OP6t.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] strictlyphat:
Question while using Google messages. Do both of your phone numbers pop up everytime you try to type a message it's super annoying for me and the only reason I stopped using it..
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ysfk7:
Used to do that, but it stop doing it and just works. Not sure what i did. I forgot. sorry. Disabled the stock messages app and default to google messages.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] nhshah7:
I have ATT and picked up a Fi sim over the weekend. Took me a while to get it activated (had to pop it in my OP3T for it to actually work, the dual sim feature didn't play well with activation). ATT is primary and Fi is secondary for everything. I have dual 4g radios enabled but that only enables VOLTE for Fi, but the actual data is used through my primary sim (ATT). SMS messages were not received if hangouts was disabled for SMS and Fi was not set as the primary Sim for SMS. Aka SMS doesn't work unless you make Fi the primary SMS sim or use hangouts for SMS, which is fine but defeats the purpose of using the dual sim features in your default SMS app (tried this with both textra and google messages).

As someone else said already - android Q will bring dual sim dual standby to the pixel line.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] sandix:
T-Mobile model can do this as well if you flash the international ROM.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Rayan:
Oh! I wasn't aware that the T-Mobile version was also dual sim capable! Cool!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] sandix:
Only when you flash the international rom. Tmo rom is not compatible
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ysfk7:
And you need the dual sims tray from ebay or oneplus, since Tmo OP6T is only Single Sim tray
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
Just say no.

If you need dual SIM functionality, just but the international version.

Buying the T-Mobile version mead a pain to get it unlocked before the 40-50 days.

If you flash the International ROM before then you will need to flash back to stock to unlock the SIM.

Buy the right version from day one.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] futango:
I did not have to wait 40-50 days to get my t-mobile variant unlock. I reached out to tmobile via twitter and paid 2 months of installment ahead of time and received a permanent unlock from tmobile. I currently have a verizon sim(Work) and tmobile sim(personal) in mine with the international rom.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
That is hit or miss.

There is no guarantee that you can get an unlock.

So if you buy with the knowledge it may take 40-50 days for an unlock you can't be angry.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Rayan:
Yes, that's why I ended up getting it directly from oneplus.com website... Unlocked, no hassles, two sim cards.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ma678:
Unlocked 6t doesn't get RCS from TMO.

Bricked Device but has unlocked bootloader and having access to Fastboot Mode​

Before doing the process, make sure you have to remove your SdCard and having sufficient battery power to ensure that the process won't be interrupted and to prevent higher chances to hard bricked your device (Dead)

Requirements:

Accessible Fastboot

Unlocked Pocophone F1 Device

Laptop/PC

Type-C Data Cable (Not Charging Cable because it has no data output and input)

Microsoft Visual C++ Redist 2015, 2017 and 2019 (Please report what kind of error you get when flashing and provide a screenshot)

Fastboot ROM updated to 11.0.6.0 (get it here: https://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.0.6.0...M_20200227.0000.00_10.0_global_983cdd2f82.tgz)

Qualcomm Drivers (Search in Google)

Latest Mi Flasher (https://www.xiaomiflash.com/)

7-Zip to extract .tgz file type (This is more efficient and has fewer errors) https://www.7-zip.org/

Patience and Hope

NOTE: FASTBOOT MUST BE ACCESSIBLE, IF NOT, THIS TUTORIAL IS NOT FOR YOU​

[IMG="Fastboot Logo"]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/Tz92blTvulLgbTLfkprAMQrmGDhmWpFMh83Hfv8Mn2HclDTJzj26PH3Q0hFq8MjqtSpgjLyD545O59xk1PDp=w811-h625-rw[/IMG]​

While Turned off, Hold POWER + VOL DOWN for a few seconds

1. Install the drivers needed (Qualcomm, Microsoft Redist 2015, 2017 & 2019)

2. Reboot your Laptop/PC to make sure all drivers are working

3. Using 7-Zip, extract the Fastboot ROM (beryllium_global_images...da212305c9.tgz) to any designated directory/folder

4. Open Mi Flasher

5. Click "Browse" and navigate to your extracted folder of Fastboot ROM

6. Select the folder that contains the extracted Fastboot ROM

7. On the bottom right, select "Clean All"

8. Now, reboot your phone to Fastboot Mode

9. Connect your phone to your Laptop/PC

10. After all that, click Flash

11. If you see on the results tab "Success", then the flashing is completed

12. Now, try rebooting your device

Bricked Device but has locked bootloader, you applied for unlocking, and have access to Fastboot Mode

There might be a chance. If you applied for unlocking the bootloader, you can still unlock the bootloader by downloading the Mi Unlock Tool on their website https://en.miui.com/unlock/ and boot to fastboot mode and follow the steps provided on their website.

Bricked Device but has locked bootloader, you didn't apply for unlocking, and having access to Fastboot Mode

Your Device is HARD BRICKED. You cannot Flash your phone with a locked bootloader, if you cannot reboot or your device has bootloop after an OTA update, sideload, etc. you should bring your device via the nearest Xiaomi Service Center for further analysis.

You could do the flashing by using EDL Cable (Deep Flash Cable). Or by Testpoints to access EDL with locked bootloader. Find a guide anywhere in XDA or in YouTube.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] DAusRon:
Is the EDL mode is the same as fastboot mode? Afaik they're different
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darklouis:
EDL or download mode term is used for samsung devices (uses ODIN). They are alike as fastboot mode (uses flasher e.g MI Flash tool, MTK flasher, qualcomm flasher, etc.)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] anvesh583:
Edl flashing means using a edl flash cable or hardware test points. It allows to unbrick a corrupted bootloader .
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darklouis:
Going to edit my post since that someone confuses about EDL and Fastboot.

And yes, only Xiaomi has access to EDL Mode (Emergency Download Mode) to force flash system images or firmware because they are the OEM of the device. Only Fastboot that can user be accessed but it requires an unlocked bootloader.

Theoretically as an user, you can access EDL Mode but it requires such tools and knowledge.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] pipyakas:
Why when I plugin my phone to miflash it only shows the option to unlock and erase data, rather than the flash function?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darklouis:
Please provide a screenshot so that I can know if what update of Mi Flasher you have :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darklouis:
Oh no.. You downloaded Mi Unlocker, not Mi Flasher.

Please search in a MIUI Forum or Google "Mi Flash Tool"
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] pipyakas:
Ya I figured. The problem though, is that your post is linking to miflash unlock tool while you say you need to download the Flasher

I ended up just googled it and got my flash back to miui successful
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darklouis:
Sorry, will fix it though.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nexus5-32GB:
Wanna thank you for this post first. However I was unable to run the latest MiFlash due the error as seen on screenshot. (Windows 10)

No matter what I was trying to do, MiFlash was still asking to install drivers (including Nvidia drivers, wtf?)

USB drivers were installed correctly as I could see connected device with installed drivers and fastboot devices have also worked fine. I have done several reboots, windows test mode, but without success...

If anybody else is having same issue, I was able to use probably very old version of MiFlash to successfully flash fastboot MIUI image.

Poco F1 again operational :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darklouis:
New and updated Mi Flash Tools needs new drivers (including Visual C++ 2015 or the 2017/2018 one, Microsoft Framework, etc. e.g. just like installing a game, it needs drivers to work)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] samexex:
edl required dfc cable/testpoint and auth mi account, no need ubl,,

and fastboot only need ubl..
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nexus5-32GB:
That is correct and I have all of them installed, but still unable to run latest MiFlash properly.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darklouis:
Please send me a screencap on the details panel :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nexus5-32GB:
here you are
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] pederzen:
Got the exact same problem with new Miflash. Tried the old version but it gives me an error. See screencap. The file it says missing is actually there.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] pederzen:
The attachment went wrong. Maybe now

Edit:

Maybe you can see my attachment, ican't i dont get why.

Anyways Miflash sends an error message saying ' can not found file flash_all.bat '

When i open the tar file the flash_all.bat file is there.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] pederzen:
Bootloader is open but USB debugging was off when the bootloop accured. ADB does not recognise device, older MiFlash does but gives error written above. Any idea how to proceed? Your help is much appreciated
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darklouis:
Make sure you have the drivers installed.

Check it on "Device Manager" while the device is connected with fastboot mode on.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darklouis:
Make sure you selected the folder in the "browse tab" with the file flash_all.bat, flash_all_expect_storage.bat, etc.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] pederzen:
I just managed to flash the firmware. :fingers-crossed: An old version of MiFlash from 2014 did the trick. Device is now up and running, i switched USB debugging on. Still, ADB won't recognise phone. I thought after turning debugging on, device will ask to authorize pc upon plugging it in. And ADB will recognise it when authorisation is done. But it won't pop up on phone so no possibility for authorisation.

Edit: i need ADB to get TWRP back.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bjarnie:
I tried different things and (MiFlash) versions for my Pocophone F1, unf without any result. When I start flashing I see that it's flashing the file for about 3 a 4 seconds (see picture). After that I hear the Windows USB disconnect and connect sound. Then it says "ping target via firehorse".

After some seconds I get a "ping target failed" error...

Somebody:(?

Edit:

Some more information; Phone won't boot at all. Not 'normal', fastboot or recovery. Phone is only recognized in device manager as: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008(COM#)

# = number of usb port it's connected too....
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darklouis:
Try using older Mi Flash Tool or the beta ones, look it up on MIUI Forums
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mannybone:
Need help. Got it almost completed, but says " remote: Erase not allowed in lock state"
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darklouis:
Is your bootloader locked?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mannybone:
Yes the bootloader is locked, unfortunately for me right now.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darklouis:
Then you cannot flash when the bootloader is locked. Bootloader needs to be unlocked to be able to flash via Mi Flash Tool
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] CosmicDan:
Please remove EDL mode from the title. Misleading and click-bait-y.

Should also say that you need an unlocked bootloader.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darklouis:

I bricked my Poco F1 as my computer stopped responding while I was flashing miui 10 (actually downgrading from pixel experience to MIUI 10).

After trying out different different ROMs finally found MIUI 9 Global Stable 9.6.14.0 from

{Mod edit: Link to paid services website removed. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}

and normally flashed this ROM with MiFlash ("https://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=a...kN2MzfDE0NjUzMTc4NjZ8NTQyOTQ4MzM5fDI4MTk3OQ==")

Thanks this worked !

Hi,

Thanks to this post, I was able to save my phone from what I thought was a hard brick unsolvable by myself. Kudos to people like you, we still have the confidence to go on and experiment with our mobiles. This post was extremely well written and explained in detail. Thanks a ton again !

Some things id like to add here are :

1. Poco FASTBOOT software can be downloaded from here - xiaomifirmware . com this site has the latest and proper files

2. You need to use 7zip to extract the tgz file 2 times until you get folder structure. tgz-> unzip->tar->unzip->folder. Use this folder address in the mi flash tool.

3. Mi unlock and Mi Flash are different tools. You can find both in Mi forums.
