Just follow the guide in this forum, the one where you can convert even if you're sim locked, and you will be sim unlocked and bootloader unlocked. And yes, you want to use the MSM tool with version 11, not 13. It's some work, but follow the instructions word for word, and take your time, and you'll be fine. Have fun.

---------- Post added at 20:31 ---------- Previous post was at 20:27 ----------

Also, dual SIM works just fine once you've converted, you just need to buy a dual SIM tray off of Amazon, $10 or less, and you'll be in business.

So far I'm doing really good, I successfully got TWRP set up -- but now I'm trying to determine if I need to also add Magisk as well. The TWRP guide in the beginning of the post doesn't mention magisk, but everywhere else I've looked seems to - and notes that if I DON'T add Magisk, I'll be stuck in a bootloop.

Also should I be removing my Google Fi Sim card while I'm doing all of this?

Thank you again for the reassurance, btw

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

Update, got Magisk installed, did all the backing up I needed to, and now we're onto, I think, step 3. I don't necessarily WANT TMO infected apps on my phone, so I'm stopping there

After following the guide, and mkaing sure to make backups as appropriate, everything's booting just fine... except my SIM is seemingly "not allowed", according to the tray icon, to be on the network. No data, no texts or calls. I tested the simcard on an old S7 I have, works fine.

Did I screw something up, or is this to do with the IMEI of my phone or something else I didn't know about?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] xRogerxC:
Yes, Magisk is used for root, and also for modules to modify different actions on your phone.

I am going to let the experts jump in here and handle this. Rest assured you will get everything working.

Hey [MENTION=556861]transit[/MENTION]Bard, did you get everything working?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] aaronbaird1:
Just want to make sure im understanding this correctly.

1) I can do steps 1 - 3 and then just flash the stock rom from oneplus's website, followed by twrp and magisk?

2) Is RCC the only extra feature on the tmobile rom?

3) My phone is in the mail, but if it arrives with the latest firmware from tmobile i can still flash 9.0.11 (step1) right?

EDIT:

The answer to all of the above is yes. I used TWRP to backup the EFS partition before step 3 just in case.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
I have not seen this message before. Are you SIM unlocked? Do you have another SIM card to try with it?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dusekdude:
So I'm already converted to international but not Sim unlocked. Im on the latest beta. Do I need to to wipe or anything or can I just hop into adb and do the fastboot erase and be fine or is there something missing
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] xRogerxC:
Only way to Sim unlock is to flash back to Tmobile stock. Then you can unlock via Tmobile tool (if they allow you to Sim unlock), or there is also a guide in this forum to Sim unlock without getting Tmobile to unlock.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dusekdude:
That's exactly what I'm asking is about this way of Sim unlock do I have to do anything special since I'm already bottloader unlocked or can I just jump into adb and do the step to fastboot erase.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
No, you don't need to do anything special. Using those adb / fastboot commands should not affect anything else other than the sim lock. Your data should stay intact.

Question; are there any advantages on T-mobile firmware? So any reasons to do step 4 and 5?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
There are no advantages to the T-Mobile software. It does include RCS for what that is worth. I used to run the T-Mobile software for the RCS but have since moved on to custom ROMS.

So I just wanted to give a big thanks for this guide.

It was super smooth

I only had a hiccup with magisk installation on that second step guide as it summarizes how to boot to TWRP, but doesn't detail how to keep it permanently and to flash magisk. But I'm good now and I wanted to give thanks!

I recently bought a phone off facebook marketplace that seems to have been a scam either intentionally or unintentionally, the phone was sold to me and not paid off through t-mobile. I've followed this guide to sim unlock it and it is still blocked by t-mobile.

I have unlocked the bootloader and the sim, and now I have a very important question, can I have updates by OTA? or I have to go back to the T-mobile version to receive updates by OTA? Thanks for the help.

If I've helped you out, please tap the thanks button.

---------- Post added at 16:25 ---------- Previous post was at 16:24 ----------

No. International version is better in every way, and who knows how long it will be until TMobile gets Android 10.

If I've helped you out, please tap the thanks button.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ramses Ayala:
I am using the international version and update the device Through local update, but I want to know if there is a way to recover OTA updates because Is more Comfortable. :)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
If you install OTA updates you will wind up with an unrooted device because that is the software stack being pushed out. The only way installing an OTA update could result in a rooted device is if the update was designed to come with root access. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating today and a wonderful day to everyone else.

I have a question [MENTION=426561]Scott[/MENTION] or anyone who knows? I am on mint mobile, it's a TMobile mnvo. IMO Mint is way better than my previous provider Verizon prepaid and has WiFi calling, a huge plus for me. My home has is a notoriously bad dead zone. However i recently realized I'm missing a lot of calls because of the 911 hiccup with us TMobile converts.. For over 3 months I would just dismiss the notification because in quick settings WiFi calling is showing active and I can make calls but yeah its also strange because sometimes I stop getting these notifications and it works great for a few days then I get the notification again.. I switch ROMs a lot from oos 9 to oos 10 and pretty much all the custom ROMs out there and it happens everywhere except TMobile oos. I dropped the ball big-time buying this used TMobile branded 6t of Amazon! I really should have done my research first. I stupidly thought oh band 71 is fast, I need that! So stupid I've never seen band 71 it in my area. My next phone will be the unbranded 7t and that's probably when band 71 will come to town ?

I am sorry for rambling on but any help would be much appreciated.

BTW, thank you Scott. I used this tutorial when I got this phone and the conversion was a cake walk. I just hope I can figure this WiFi calling problem out because it's really awesome when it works!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] meranaamjoker:
I am Oxygen OS 9.0.16. If my understanding is right, the procedure in the OP is for 9.0.11. How can I do for 9.0.16?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
I dont know much about the WiFi calling issues. You might want to start a thread in the Q/A secion

Your understanding it wrong. Regardless of the OOS version you are on you nedd to revert to 9.0.11 by following the instructions in the OP.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] meranaamjoker:
Thanks [MENTION=9221855]Scott.[/MENTION] Just to be more sure-

The first step in the process states "1) Download 6T MsmDownloadTool v4.0.58 (OOS v9.0.11) provided by [MENTION=5467580]iaTa[/MENTION]". What does the OOS v9.0.11 refer to in this?

Is it the OOS the phone should be in before starting the process OR is it the OOS version the phone ends up with after the process regardless of what OOS it is in at the moment.?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] meranaamjoker:
Just a 2 cents..did u try google voice? i use Google voice always and share only google voice no to friends. If on wifi/data, i get the call on voice app, if not, i get on my SIM.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
You are downloading 9.0.11 as it has a loophole in it that allows you to unlock the T-Mo device without help from T-Mo. You will end up here after the first step.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] meranaamjoker:
Thank you so much Scott and everyone behind this. I could successfully convert to international model and then followed the sim unlock process. I couldn't test the sim unlock yet as my phone is currently blocked.

I was getting "Sahara communication failure" error to begin with. I tried several solutions from others comments but nothing worked first. On someone's suggestion, I installed Oneplus USB driver. I dont know if this thing helped or not, but i didnt get any errors after that. It was all smooth. I am at OOS 9.0.11 still. I have to figure out whether to do OTA or local updates.

Btw, my friends originally-internation version has TWO IMEIs one for each SIM. But for this converted-6t, I see one IMEI (sim slot1) and one MEID (sim slot2). Why the difference? (btw, when a carrier blocks a phone, does he blacklist both the IMEIs?)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
I dont believe the T-Mo version of the device has two separate IMEI's. I dont have two SIM cards but if I did I would test.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] meranaamjoker:
thanks for your reply. I ordered a dual sim tray on eBay. I would update this thread once I test with it.

Currently I have OOS 9.0.11. I am not getting OTA. Can I directly upgrade to the latest OOS 10.3 without upgrading to intermediate ones? Will that wipe my phone out in the process?

Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Vortell:
It works with two sims just fine and has two IMEI numbers. Doesn't show it tell is inserted. I am also on international ROM. I think I tested it on T-Mobile and it worked it has been a while though so not 100% on it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
No, you should be able to update from 9.0.11 to 10.3.0 without much issue.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] meranaamjoker:
Thanks Scott. I will do the local update. Btw, is there anything to be done to get OTAs after the step you mentioned? I am currently not rooted, bootloader unlocked, sim unlocked and on international version.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
No, if you remain unrooted you should still get OTA but they will be the full ROM and not a patch. It will see your bootloader is unlocked and download the full ROM.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] meranaamjoker:
I am not getting OTA. Whenever I look in the System updates, it says am already up to date at version- A6013_34_181226 which is OOS 9.0.11. I dont know where the problem is.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
I would just go ahead and manually update the device by downloading the ROM straight from the OP support site.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] meranaamjoker:
Thanks a ton. I updated using oxygen updater app. Out suggested to update to 9.0.17. it was a local update. After the update, wow I could get direct ota to 10.3 thank you so much

You're asking in the wrong device forum. Go to the 7 or 7t forums and ask mobbdeep he has unlocked many devices and I can vouche for the guy. He unlocked my 7t. Before you send a message read the original post before anything so you know what to do.

Question on Step 5: Legit Unlock Bootloader.

So assume i cant wait 40-50 days so i can t-mobile unlock the sim (if its even possible since im on prepaid legacy and just got the phone used)

Its convert to international

normal fastboot OEM unlock

manual reboot back to bootloader/fastboot

fastboot erase modemst1 and then fastboot erase modemst2

At this point i am sim and bootloader unlocked

Here is where i get confused. It says if i reflash the t-mobile firmware it will lock my bootloader and i have to do it the 7 day oneplus way to "legit unlock". So my main question is, if i "legit unlock" is it t-mobile firmware unlocked forever regardless if i swap back and forth roms a few times? Or do i have to legit unlock every time i go back to tmobile firmware?

I think my 6t was a T-Mobile converted to international need help

Hey I bought my 6t off Amazon. It was supposed to be a factory unlocked 6t or so I thought. However recently I noticed on a oneplus forum there was a 10.3.3 update out and I was running 9.0.11 and I hadn't under system settings updates when I checked for updates it claimed my phone was up to date. So I got busy searching finally found a thread that said I had to update to 9.0.17 before I could get ota 10.3.3 so I did a local update and finally got to 10.3.3 and then 10.3.4. the thing was and I don't know with which update it happened but I no longer was able to get netflix and google play settings showed my device was no longer google certified. Not knowing what the problem was I started looking on one plus forums and saw other people with the same issue but wasnt getting any answers. After awhile I saw a rollback zip. Thinking maybe it was just a bug with the new android 10 version I installed it via local update and rebooted my phone. When it came back on it only flashed the same message over and over. Build version and hardware version does not match. I think I must of downloaded every man download tool I could find for the 6t and none worked. My girlfriend happened to help out like she likes to do downloaded one and I didn't pay it to much mind and tried it. Well it worked sort of it was for the 6 now it would just boot up and get to the the screen for setting up your phone that says start but you couldn't push start the touch screen wouldn't work so I searched some more and found the patched msm download tool. Tried and and guess what it worked. Now I got my 6t back but the whole process has me wondering if I bought a rebranded device. I've been reading about TMobile conversion. And my question is. Is my phone a converted phone and If I update to 10.3.5 will I still not be able to have netflix or is anyone working on a fix for this if I'm not the only one with the issue. Any advice

Has anyone unlocked the t-mobile version with a chromebook? The unlock token won't flash, it just keeps saying "no such file or directory". unlock_code.bin is in the same folder as fastboot, I went through the process of getting the unlock token with my devices imei and 64 digit unlock code, fastboot connects to my phone and registers it as a fastboot device, but it just won't flash the token.

sudo fastboot devices

xxxxxxxx fastboot

sudo fastboot -s xxxxxxxx flash cust-unlock unlock_code.bin

error: cannot load 'unlock_code.bin': No such file or directory

Does this not work on intel based chromebooks?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] checkyourfacts:
Starting yesterday, my phone began shutting down (seemingly) randomly. Sometimes it would be fine for a few hours, other times it has shut down from simply moving it/putting it in my pocket. There have also been multiple times where it has re-shut down while booting up. The battery charge seems to not matter.

I just booted it into safe mode about half an hour ago and its been fine so far. However, I don't think its an installed app because the phone has worked fine with the same apps for months. Also, I'm not sure an app is the source of the issue if Android wasn't even started. Maybe I'm just being stupid, though.

Any ideas on what the issue could be would be greatly appreciated, though I've been looking for an excuse to buy a new phone anyways, so its not the end of the world if it doesn't work out.

*Edit* Seems like it stays on while charging but when unplugged powers off randomly again.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
Wild ass first guess - failing battery.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] checkyourfacts:
Thats what I'm thinking now too. Just wasn't the first thing I thought of since it started out of nowhere.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Stayn:
Maybe the battery is not well connected to the board? Just a guess
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] checkyourfacts:
Also a very valid possibility. However, I'm not sure if this explains how sometimes I can turn the phone right back on again immediately and other times when I plug it in it just flashes the low battery light at the top of the phone and/or does nothing when power button is pressed until two hours later when it randomly turns on from holding the power button for a full minute.

I think I just need to take it into a shop. ?
[Connected Car] DarcSystems:
I've been experience a few issues with the new update. One of them, which is more a nuisance than anything, is my bluetooth connection to my car. It's a 2015 Mustang with MyFord Touch. The phone is a galaxy S8+. About 1/3 of the time when I start the car, the phone shows up named a bunch of random characters, instead of Galaxy S8+. Not a huge deal. My music player starts automatically (even if I close it, and kill the process). The thing that's weird is that the audio is kind of hollow sounding when it starts up UNTIL I turn on the phones display, then it kicks into a fuller sound. It's never done this before. Not only that, but it decides when it wants to display track information from Samsung music player only a small portion of the time.

If I'm playing music through Amazon Music, it updates the track information, no problem. If I switch to Samsung's music player, it just displays the last track I played on Amazon music, and never changes. If I start the car with the music player going, it won't update track information until it gets to the next song, and even that is spotty.

Aside from these issues, and the issues I'm having with the default browser, I think it's a pretty good update. But this music thing is really bugging me. For the record, I've tried rebooting the phone. I've tried changing through the AVRCP versions in the developer options, I've toggled Dolby Atmos on and off, changed the sample rate, channels, etc. Nothing seems to be affecting this problem.

On a side note, how do I close the music player so it doesn't automatically start playing when connected to bluetooth?

Thanks in advance. If this doesn't belong here, let me know.
[Connected Car] ScardracS:
Did you ever try to update your car's firmware or going to your dealer and ask for it? I think it's because Android 9 is "too new" for your car
[Connected Car] DarcSystems:
I updated to the latest firmware about 6 months ago. No new updates since then. It would be kinda bogus if android 9 made a 4 year old car obsolete, but i suppose it's possible.

It could be possible that you have to expect for a new car firmware or ask to your device forum if anyone else have your same problem with android auto
