For those on INTL firmware, if you try to set a custom notification or ringtone, does your list show not only files in the expected folders, but also any audio files on the phone? The TMO firmware is doing that and it's driving me nuts because of how many files I have on the phone.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] ledvedder:
Yes, it shows all audio files.

Successful conversion here. Twrp and magisk too.

A few questions about this a/b slot business which I am new to.

I saw that the active slot is b in magisk when rooting.

Does this conversion write the international firmware to both a/b slots?

Do twrp and magisk reside in both a/b slots too or do I have to flash my patched magisk boot.img to my a slot as well?

I saw that twrp is written to 'ramdisk' which is also new to me.

Any insight on this would be appreciated. Thanks
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
That's unfortunate. Thanks for the quick reply.

I've always been interested in OnePlus, but didn't want to lose my Jump on Demand. Finally got the chance to try OP and not lose JOD, so I went for it. No regrets so far.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
I am a bit iffy on the conversion. I want the dual-SIM capability but am worried about losing RCS, band 71, and reliable WiFi Calling. I don't find the T-Mobile firmware to be that bad, but the international firmware seems to have its issues as well.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] capsnbottles:
when i try to open the msmdownloadtool+4.0patched_alpha I get the message program has been started and then nothing, it closes and goes away. Is that the first step? Or do I have to wait for the guacamole_21_O07_190512_repack.7z file? I have everything downloaded

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
Same here. I think if I wind up with any issues that require a factory reset, I may convert at that time. So far the TMO firmware is running fine.

I remember reading someone sideloaded the international update over the T-Mobile firmware a couple if weeks ago. They got dual-SIM working but I am not sure how that affected the rest of the features.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] azfxstb:
You do lose RCS, LTE 71 works fine, Wifi Calling worked but I didnt see it switch as quick and the TMO firmware did, HOWEVER now that I am back on TMO (Waiting for unlock) Im seeing the same "sticky" cellular connection as I was on the INT rom. It was easy to switch back just FYI. Once I get sim unlocked I will give it another try and some more time with the INT rom.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] capsnbottles:
How do you get out of edl mode?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] truckerdewd:
You don't lose band 71,it works fine. My wifi calling seems to work fine although I don't use it or care for it cause when it first came out, every call I made or received had a horrible echo or a bad delay and since I get a full signal at home even in the basement, I don't turn it on. Yes we have a T-Mobile cell spot but even if I turned it off, we still get full bars anywhere in the house. I haven't had any issues. Yes there is no RCS but that is is deal breaker for me.

All is well on my end.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] &roid:
I have the slower switching wifi also, and a reboot will do it much quicker. I still love the international ROM much better and will not go back. I've had OP phones for a long time and have owed every one and all since the 3 have worked just fine VoWiFi on T-Mobile. I'm imagining that this one will get better after future international updates. None of my other OP phones take long to switch over, so I'm imagining the slower exchange to WiFi for calling is some type of optimization thing. I'll have to ask someone that has a straight up international OP7 Pro (non-carrier) and T-Mobile to understand if it's just a software thing that bugs all OP7 Pro's.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Chilean Seabass:
Speed update - it looks like resetting the phone and wiping cache after converting did the trick. I've seen similar speeds and nothing noticeable. I will continue to evaluate it and keep you guys posted.

Having that said, I'm now considering on rooting my device but have a few questions.

- I understand I lose Netflix HD and can only stream at 480, but is that it?

- Will I lose HD on other streaming services or just Netflix?

- Will Android Pay work?

- I don't use Snapchat so IDC about that, but any other apps affected by root?

Thanks

It still asks for the token when you give fastboot command to OEM unlock. Are you sure you don't need the token before performing these steps? I'm scared to try.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] slayerh4x:
Added a FAQ section which I will start adding to.

There is one in there now which some people seem to be having.

If you had drivers from a previous model installed it can cause the MSM tool to fail.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] capsnbottles:
I got hung up on param preload for 500 plus seconds. What did I do wrong? I was able to adb reboot edl, what else can I do with the drivers? These things seem to be kicking my ass
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Chilean Seabass:
Thanks for the quick reply. Do you know of any other apps that would be affected?

YouTube, YouTube TV, Hulu, etc?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] &roid:
When I had root on my other phones for me it only affected Android Pay and Netflix. Maybe it affects some games, but I don't really use my phone for gaming - so I have no clue there.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] mutt1107:
ok, I was SIM unlocked from Tmobile before I converted, everything went fine but when I go into bootloader mode and type "fastboot oem unlock", all I get is "waiting for device". I unlocked developer options and enabled OEM unlock. Any suggestions?

You need to check your drivers if you have them installed try rebooting your computer;)

same here my ebay app is not working. I did factory reset 5 times then works. after that I did another factory reset and then the ebay app not work again. so I converted back to tmobile.

Drivers

You need to make sure you have updated drivers as it says in many posts here. This only works with the L2 drivers which you download from OP

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] truckerdewd:
I unistalled the drivers then re-installed the ones that come with the phone and it worked fine. I couldn't ever get the downloaded L2 drivers to install.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] capsnbottles:
Which ones came with the phone? I'll try downloading those. I have no issue getting fastboot to reboot or ADB to work
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] truckerdewd:
Uninstall any OnePlus drivers you have then re-install the ones that are included with your phone. That's what I had to do and it worked great.

---------- Post added at 04:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 AM ----------

They are the ones you see when your phone is plugged into your computer. I get a pop-up that ask me what I want to do when I plug drive F into my laptop. You should also be able to see it as a separate drive when your phone is plugged into your computer, like C is your hard drive, D is your optical drive, E is your phone's internal storage, and F is the OnePlus drivers
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Shano56:
I'm guessing you only need the token if you're on the tmobile version. I did fastboot oem unlock after switching to international and wasn't prompted for a token.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] sparky2029:
Wondering this as well. I mean I'm sim unlocked already but I'm still waiting on the unlock token. So I'm curious, does this mean I get to bypass the unlock token? Hopefully someone can chime in to help
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] dagod80:
I'm pretty sure it definitely means you can bypass the unlock token since you'll be on international firmware and can naturally unlock without said token
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] sparky2029:
Awesome, by chance do you know if the msm tool provided will restore the phone if we bork it?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] LLStarks:
A few questions about this:

* We're still waiting on the T-Mobile MSM tool for reverts, right?

* The 6T sim unlock method doesn't work?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] dagod80:
It did on the 6t version. Anytime I'd bork, I could msm back to the international version but this is still very new so personally I'm going to wait and see what results people get first
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] themustached:
The method I used on the 6t doesn't work for sim unlock. but I think I can get it. Still working on it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] photolarry:
I can confirm that you need to be sim unlocked and should turn it on in settings then do the procedure and you aren't prompted for a token. I was unsure so I tried it. I almost bricked the phone because you have to hit start really fast and I couldn't figure out how to reboot outta edl mode. You hold the power and volume up for 30 seconds. Hope this helps anyone else using TMobile version.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] mhajii210:
Guys I want to convert to international version from T-Mobile. If I convert before SIM unlock, will I be able to SIM unlock after I'm on the international version if T-Mobile gives me permission?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Shano56:
No but you can switch back to tmobile version here: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/t-mobile-one-plus-7-pro-msm-tool-revert-t3936528

You don't need the token from here to SIM unlock: https://www.oneplus.com/unlock_token
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] &roid:
Right now you need to unlock the SIM before converting if you want the SIM unlocked. In the future, there may be a tool to do it after, but it's not here yet.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] photolarry:
You have to get TMobile to Sim unlock. You don't need the token but as I said before I switched OEM unlock on before this procedure. There isn't a way around this. Call them and just tell them you're a developer and need it or else! They were happy to do it for me. There's an unlock app that's installed which you use.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Shano56:
Wait are you saying you couldn't run the msm software until you were sim unlocked? I don't think anyone else mentioned having that issue
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] :
Is it meant to say explicitly "success" in green or just "Download Complete" in green?

---------- Post added at 01:15 ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 ----------

When I went through the steps in the OP, it flashed the international firmware just fine. I was stoked. But then when I got to the step to enable dev options, then toggle OEM unlock, it was greyed out for me.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] photolarry:
No I'm saying I successfully ran the steps in the op. With a small issue where I had to reboot. I have sim unlocked... And as I said I turned switch on in developer options before starting. Then after running the tool I didn't have to enter any token... It just unlocked with fastboot command. Got it? T-Mobile SIM must be unlocked but no token necessary just turn on the toggle before starting the entire process outlined in op.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Shano56:
Yeah that's what I thought, thanks. Btw in case you didn't see, there's a link in the original post to switch back to tmobile version if you need to go back to get sim unlocked.

Okay nevermind. I guess I got confused what you were trying to say because it sounded like you were contradicting what you said here:
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] :
That's what I was confused about. That you needed to be SIM unlocked before even attempting this. I'm still waiting for mine to get unlocked so I'll just have to wait until then before trying this again. But the good news is that now I know how to do it. Mostly. Only thing I was confused about was the specific bit in the OP where it says do not unplug until it says "Successful" but when I did it I didn't see that, but only "Download complete" in green. Was that it?

ETA: And what "switch" did you turn on before starting this? You were SIM unlocked already, so what "switch" are you referring to?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] photolarry:
I hadn't tried yet I was thinking it would. It didn't ask. I was surprised it worked without. Anyway hopefully it's clearer now

oem unlocking is grayed out after upgrade

Good morning and thank you for everything here on this thread, I successfully converted my Tmobile oneplus 7 pro to the international variant, however the oem unlocking is grayed out. The phone immediately upgraded the oxygen os and everyting appears fine. Do I need to worry about enabling the oem unlocking? and if so, what do I need to correct? thank you again. BP
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] likecookies:
If you want to root you will need to oem unlock. If you didn't get a sim unlock when you where still on T-Mobile then you need to convert back and get it sim unlocked. If you don't care about rooting you are fine.

Para Preload error Win10 [FIX]

Tutorial for dummies if you keep hanging on Para Preload screen

First off IT IS THE DRIVERS(Make sure you have the correct L2 driver saved on your PC)

1. Open Device manager expand the com ports tree STOP

2. This next step is to get the bad drivers removed and install the correct ones and is a few steps in quick succession.

3. Ok so when you do the vol up and down hold and plug in your cable the PC will see the device as a com device. as SOON as it shows up when you plug in the cable right click on it in device manager (Qualcomm bla bla bla comX) pick "Uninstall device" NOT update driver as soon as you do this it will pop up again as an unknown device click it and pick choose drivers from your PC.

4. Point it to the drivers you downloaded.

5. NOW unplug cable open MSM program prep it...do the Volume up down thing plug it in (Sometimes MSM wont see it the first time you do this after driver update) boom green bars moving everywhere

Oh and FYI an USB-C to USB-C cable works as well
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] truckerdewd:
It doesn't explicitly say success. When it says Download Complete in green, the phone will reboot and you are good to go.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] stmims1124:
Thank you [MENTION=952755]slayerh4x[/MENTION] everything worked perfectly/smoothly on the first go around.

For those having issues, just stop, re-read the OP and read though the pages of this thread. I believe most, if not every possible issue you may encounter is touched upon within the thread already, and you likely don't need to post a question because chances are, it's already been answered here.

Instead of screwing around with L2 driver downloads and installs, I just plugged my phone into my (Windows) laptop, turned on USB file transfer, and aside from seeing my phone's storage, there's also a OnePlus driver install "CD" which you can click to "autoplay" or whatever...This installs any Windows drivers needed for EDL and the MSM tool (this method was in someone else's post, apologies I don't recall who for credit!). I already had working ADB & fastboot from years with Android & XDA. Ran the OnePlus driver install straight from the phone, downloaded/installed the tool per OP's instructions. Turned on USB debugging on my phone from developer settings. Instead of screwing around trying to force EDL with a button combo, I just first opened the MSM tool and unchecked "SHA...", then opened an ADB command line - "adb reboot edl". The phone immediately was in EDL, MSM tool recognized it (in "COM..."), and I hit start. 5 minutes later or so, I have a green "download complete" or something to that effect, and a T-Mobile GM1915 running the international firmware. Aside from backups and restores, the actual process is a quick 5-10 minutes.

MUCH HAPPY, SUCH EXCITE ?

Anyone have issues with mms? Takes substantially longer to send and receive. I had this problem on my 5t on tmobile but not on att. 7pro worked fine on tmobile software now I have the issue again on international. Not the end of the world but I've seen it take 10 minutes to send an mms. Seeing 25 down and 12 up where I am so that's not the issue.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] photolarry:
Yes the letters turn green and say completed and successful. Your phone should reboot. Don't uncheck auto reboot. Just uncheck SHA 256. Then plug in phone and type "adb reboot edl" then quickly when you see connected message on msmtool click start. You gotta do it right away or it fails. If it gives an error or it fails...reboot by holding power and volume up for 30 seconds and repeat the last step. Set up phone and you're done unless you wanna root. What I'm going to say next has to do with bootloader unlocking and the OEM toggle.

The toggle I turned on is inside developer options "Allow OEM unlocking". It no longer is greyed out and off if you get SIM unlock tool to work after begging TMO. If you skip this then you can't root or unlock the bootloader. Yes you can still convert but when you turn on developer options the toggle will be greyed out. You'll get international OTA updates and will be converted. But I wouldn't do it unless you have sim unlocked. That help you? It's fairly easy to talk them into doing it. Lie and say your going out of the country for 3 months.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
All updates for every firmware version come from OnePlus. You will receive the updates for the firmware you are on via OTA for the installed full firmware.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] photolarry:
OTA Updates

You also can apply them manually by downloading the OTA (see other posts for links to full OTA files from OnePlus) and applying them locally (go into system/update/options/local storage. I did it this way going from 9.5.6 to 9.5.7 but whenever you apply OTA, you lose root and twrp so flash twrp from within magisk modules by clicking + and the zip for guac29. Then boot into recovery and flash latest magisk zip (19.3 as of this post).
