[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] DTop:
You don't understand what you are talking about and I am not going to continue to argue with you unless you educate yourself prior to replying.

The T-Mobile firmware will not serve you updates if you have TWRP flashed. You would have to locate URLs for the update first. So you'd have to hope someone bothered to capture it and post it.

Normal OxygenOS will allow you to download the OTA, regardless of if you are rooted or not. Incremental, full update, whatever you want. T-Mobile firmware will not allow you to download the update, will not serve you the zip if you have TWRP flashed. The incremental zip will fail if TWRP is flashed.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
I understand how things work perfectly fine. Flashing TWRP will not stop you from receiving an update notification or prevent you from downloading it.

Flashing it locally is not as complicated as you try to make it sound and finding the OTA files online exist, just like I already linked to. OTA's are served in waves, which is why people capture and post them. Some people want the OTA right away, others are patient enough to wait until their device gets the notification, and some are just happy with their device working perfectly fine.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] DTop:
That is not true. That is absolutely not true. You are spreading false nonsense. Again, this has been tested. I worked on the conversion from T-Mobile to international and I worked on the conversion back. I know what I am talking about. If TWRP is flashed to a GM1915, the system update thingy will always return 'you are on the latest version'.

On the T-Mobile rom, update notifications will not arrive if TWRP is flashed. On the T-Mobile rom, updates cannot be downloaded through the official update process if TWRP is flashed. That is how T-Mobile designed it.

Get out of my thread or I'm going to have to reach out to staff and have them remove you from it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
That's where you are wrong again. All updates, even for the T-Mobile firmware, come from OnePlus and are pushed by OnePlus.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] DTop:
That is also false, and if you had a ****ing clue at all you wouldn't say that kind of garbage. You've even posted a URL to a T-Mobile incremental, it is hosted on completely different infrastructure that exactly matches what T-Mobile uses for other T-Mobile phones and the update app itself is a standard T-Mobile app you can find on countless Motorola phones.

That you would come to me and claim this kind of garbage after I spent considerable time hunting for (and finding) real OnePlus files on the real OnePlus infrastructure is laughable.

I am now going to reach out to staff and have them remove your permissions to post in my thread, as you are ****ting it up.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
It may be hosted in a different place, but the manufacturer is responsoble for the uodates, not the carrier. If it was a carrier pushed update, people using OnePlus 7 Pro GM1915 woulsn't get updates off of T-Mobile's network, which they do, because those uodates xoke from OnePlus. My friend receives their OTA's for the phonw they bought drom T-Mobile on Verizon.

Getting annoyed with me because your knowledge is a decade out of date isn't my problem. I have been civil, polite, and my information is correct. Feel free to report me if you wish. That still doesn't changs the fact that you keep trying to flame me when you are wrong.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] DTop:
You are continuing to say things that are false, can be easily proven to be false, and you are doing so in a thread where you are not welcome.

T-Mobile pushes out updates for T-Mobile Android phones. That does not mean that they only push the update down to users that have a carrier branded SIM installed - though AT&T does that - but that they are responsible for the update & deliver it on their own terms, using their infrastructure.

As has been already stated

, the update URL you posted matches the update URLs for countless other T-Mobile phones and does not match that of any other OnePlus device, including the GM1917.

As has been already stated,

the update app itself is a standard T-Mobile app that can be found on other T-Mobile phones.

You are just absolutely hopelessly uninformed. That you would think that a carrier pushing out updates inherently means that the carrier SIM must be installed to receive the updates is laughably nonsensical. There are carriers that deliver updates from domains ending in CARRIERNAME.com that do not require a SIM installed to receive said updates. You just don't know what you are talking about in general and seek to argue with actual developers, but you keep getting stuck with your whole 'not knowing anything' issue.

Get out of my thread.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
[MENTION=9981513]DTop[/MENTION] Hi there, admin here. This thread was created by slayerh4x. It's not your thread, and no specific person will be prevented from posting in it. It can be closed to all, but that's still a bit unnecessary for the time being.

I will ask that you act in a respectable manner, and avoid the salty language. If you truly believe that [MENTION=3116388]jcsww[/MENTION] is wrong, post proof. I'll ask the same of jcsww as well, except I can leave out the warning about salty language.

Keep it clean and respectful, or don't post.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] DTop:
Hi! It was created by Slayer on my behalf, as I didn't have an account I wanted to use to post it at the time. I'm one of three people that worked on getting this conversion to work.

I don't want this thread full of non-technical false arguing and ask that you remove him from it. Thank you. I do not permit arguing from a non-technical standpoint about irrelevant things in here. I hope to be able to continue to post things of use for the OP7Pro community, but I can't do that if you won't work with me with regards to keeping the release threads clean.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
He said originally that the T-Mobile OTA's were not posted. The first hit I go in search had a link to the latest OTA.

T-Mobile has openly mentioned in their forums time and time again, that they only contribute their apps, carrier aggregation, and do some basic compatibility testing for those before giving their approval to the OEM for the firmware. I think most of us remeber the days were carriers messed up devices and made OEM's look bad, which is why that practice stopped a long time ago.

There is nothing in the OTA check script that actually checks the recovery version or looks for TWRP.

Thank you for interjecting as well!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] DTop:
You dug up an OTA image that will not work if you flash TWRP, which is my original point. There is no thread on XDA or on the OnePlus forums sharing these OTA images. You found some microscopic blog that has one, and only an incremental.

Again, I've posted the raw facts. The update app was written by T-Mobile, can be found on countless T-Mobile phones and the update URL matches that which T-Mobile uses on other phones and does not match any non-T-Mobile OnePlus phone. If TWRP is flashed to the phone, the update app

will not

download or install any future OTAs. So don't install TWRP, boot it and install Magisk. Which I've posted countless times. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79753900&postcount=4

Get out of my thread. Out. Out.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Carriers have places foe the firmware to be posted for testing and delivery. If OEM's grouped all of the OTA's in the same place, a device might potenially receive the wrong update. The URL of the OTA used by a carrier is not the same as having a full blown Android developement team for each specific OEM version of Android. T-Mobile's own internal teams are basic app testers only. Most of the carrier bloat is developed third party.

I am just guessing, but I am going to say Magisk is the issue if a person can't receive or download OTA's. I haven't rooted my devices since the days of ChainFire's superior SuperSU. TWRP definitely isn't the issue rhough.

Tellimg me to get out of a thread that you didn't start isn't going to happen. Having someone start a thread for you doesn't give you ownership over it and doesn't make everything you post fact. Feel free to block me but that still won't change the facts. Not being able to grasp and admit you are wrong isn't going to help you in a community where most members are much more knowledgeable and open-mimded to learning.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] DTop:
This isn't a discussion. Unless you are able to refute the raw technical facts at hand here, you are not welcome here. I know what I am talking about. I understand how the T-Mobile update app works. I know what it's checking for and what it's not. I'm the one that is actually making the stuff the people want, not you.

Get out.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Clearly you don't! If you did, you wouldn't be disagreeing. Feel free to call up OnePlus, Samsung, LG, and many other OEM's, ask to speak to someone in their development teams, and aak them if they allow carriers to create and push updates. The answer is, no!

Arguing back and forth also isn't helping users. Habing to skip through post after post of conflicting information isn't helpful. Let it go, do a lirttle research, and learn something that seems to be new to you. Asking me to leave a thread and forum I have contribured to, especially in a rude manor, isn't going to happen. Have a nice day though.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] DTop:
Out. Get out. You are not welcome here unless you are able to refute the raw technical facts that I've stated numerous times.'

1: The T-Mobile firmware has a different software update app than the non-TMO versions. That update app does not offer full zips when it detects the phone is rooted. Instead, the update app does not offer updates at all if a different recovery image was loaded on the phone.

2: There is no good archive of all the T-Mobile OTAs. There is no thread on XDA, no Oxygen Updater for TMO. Tiny weblogs apparently have a single OTA image, but no full image. And only one version.

3. People are welcome to use the T-Mobile firmware. I am not bothered by it, I am the person that got us the T-Mobile MSMtool in the first place. They just shouldn't flash TWRP, unless they have a plan to get the future OTA zips. Ideally full zips, which AFAIK do not exist for the T-Mobile version. Flashing an incremental with a differing recovery can be dicey.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
You think he's wrong, and that's your right. However since you keep going on about his not being allowed in the thread (he is), it is now you that needs to post 100% irrefutable proof to back your point. Zero banter, zero generic claims. Post it in any form your prefer, but if it is anything other than rock solid proof that stands up to peer review, it will not be accepted as fact.

Keeping the childish behavior going will only end poorly for those who don't stop.

Nobody here wants to be enemies. We all just want to hang out and play around with our phone. Let's all work towards achieving that.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] DTop:
I don't have any desire to defend against nonsensical claims in a thread that has nothing to do with those claims. There is a whole thread I linked earlier of people complaining about the OTA not showing up after flashing TWRP, or how I give them instructions on what to do to deal with it, and how no one complains that those instructions are wrong. You're welcome to look at it. Or, hell, flash TWRP to a T-Mobile GM1915 that is otherwise untampered and give it a go.

I am not going to have how I spend my time dictated to me. I am not going to fire up 'ol IDA and reverse the T-Mobile system update app and point out all the things it checks for. I know what I am talking about. It's how I've gotten us the various tools that I've posted. I know my stuff.

I want this guy out of my thread. Feel free to ask the OP if he created the thread on my behalf, he will confirm. I want this off-topic moronic nonsense to cease.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Did you post anything confirming that TWRP breaks OTA's for T-Mobile only? Your word isn't fact!

Before I flashed my GM1915 to a GM1917, I had TWRP installed and still got the OTA notification that started to download before I cancelled it. I didn't want to take the chance of not being able to cross-flash because of the update. If OTA's were T-Mobile specific, there would be a lot of people here not getting updates, hence the OTA's are pushed through Oxygen OS by OnePlus, not the carrier.

If I didn't know what I was talking about, I wouldn't have figured out the Microsoft cab file I posted by actually doing some research into the error I and many others were getting, to solve the L2 driver giving an error after trying to start the flash.

I am more than happy to continue to remind you that you were also wrong about people capturing and posting the T-Monile OTA's.

If it some how makes you feel better to keep twlling me to get out od this thread. Feel free.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] DTop:
I am the person that posted the tools used to fix a bricked GM1915. I know my stuff. My word is law.

I never claimed that OTAs require a T-Mobile SIM installed, that is your claim. They do not, but they are pushed out by T-Mobile to T-Mobile devices running a weird T-Mobile update app that has various things it checks for before allowing a flash. T-Mobile is more flexible than most US carriers, but they still are in charge of the updates - the implementation, the delivery, what features are enabled/disabled on the phone (T-Mobile disables OnePlus Labs, enables Google Discover, loads their weird WiFi Calling stuff that is not the standard Android Wifi Calling stuff and a bunch of other little things).

One guy, on one blog, posted a single incremental update. There is no thread here or anywhere else collecting the updates as they come out, and I don't even see any other incrementals on that blog or anywhere else. The larger point I was making is that unless a user has a strategy to get the OTA images as they come out, they are going to be in a bad spot. Because they aren't being collected on here. And I don't see anywhere that is collecting them after a bit of looking. There's nothing stopping people from collecting the OTAs, but no one really is.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
That's great, but that doesn't make your word law. You thinking it does isn't the type of attitude we need here. We need open-minded an helpful people that are also respectful and willing to learn what they don't already know.

You said there were no T-Mobile OTA's posted. First search result for me when I looked. Check the OnePlus reddit as well. The latest OTA is all most will be looking for. 9.5.9 is not out yet, but hopefully will be soon.

The app used for OTA's for the T-Mobile firmware is essentially the same as the one in the international firmware, but it links to a different OTA for that firmware specifically. Other than that, it is the same method provided by the same source (OnePlus) for those OTA's.

I am more than happy to look for more OTA links, if needed. That one was not hard to find at all. If I find a reason to go back to the T-Mobile firmware although I flashed for the dual-SIM capability. I will flash TWRP again and see if I can get an OTA notification once again and try downloading it. I don't use Magisk though and haven't felt the need to root in years. I am fairly confident that if anything, root is breaking the OTA from what you described, not TWRP.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] DTop:
I've said everything there is to say to you. You simply want to argue because you enjoy arguing, despite not having any subject matter knowledge.

The app used for the T-Mobile firmware doesn't have a single thing in common with the international firmware. Not a thing. And it is a T-Mobile app that you can find on other T-Mobile phones.

I am now blocking you and likely done sharing releases on XDA, as staff refuses to deal with your abusive conduct. Enduring absolute nonsense makes this unfun for me.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Abusive?! That seems to be something else you don't seem to understand the meaning of. I don't like to argue with anyone but I also don't take disagreements so personally.

All contributions to the boards, are welcome. Poor attitudes, thinking you are better than others, and claiming our word is law, are not. The only law here are the admins and moderators that do a great job in keeping this place going and spend their time filtering out banter to keep these threads on point for everyone.

Have an awesome night!

Does converting to the international version change anything with US Cellular roaming or is still available after conversion?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] joemossjr:
Speaking on DT personally I know all the stuff he does behind the scenes and know what we had to go through to get this conversion working for you guys. I'm not saying either of you are right in the situation because I don't care to go back and read but there was alot of man hours to go into this and alot of testing. Me being apart of that saw first hand just exactly why this stuff is so addicting. But the point is I know what he's done to his device and the risks hes taken so I'm not saying his word is the law I'm just saying I would trust his over most. Now please everyone back on topic and happy converting!

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
1) Faster updates on the unlocked/international firmware.

2) Dual-SIM capabilities on the international firmware:

Once you're switched over,all that's needed is a Dual SIM Card tray,very inexpensive (see e-Bay).You may need a SIM Unlock to utilize the #2 SIM Slot......

***** If you're wishing for Dual-SIM capabilities, I'd highly recommend getting the SIM Unlock before switching over to the unlocked firmware:

As of now,if you have a T-Mobile unit,it can only be SIM Unlocked while on T-Mobile firmware. *****

Those are the benefits that make it worthwhile to me,others may chime in with other benefits (or downsides,if any).......
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
I used my watch without issue on International. Install the Galaxy Wearable from the store, and then let it install the other apps.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Once the device boots to the setup/welcome screen. It is safe to disconnect.

I am not too sure about the US Cellular roaming. Usually roaming options are decided by your SIM. The lack of carrier aggregation might favour another roaming partner. When in rural southern West Virginia, my device has yet to roam on to US Cellular but that might vary by location.

For anyone only using a single SIM and on T-Mobile. I would personally recommend sticking to the T-Mobile firmware. For dual-SIM and use on another carrier, converting is the way to go. Both firmware work with root and TWRP but updates will need to be installed manually and root and potentially TWRP will need to be re-flashed again after the update process. It is a lot easier to unlock the bootloader on the international firmware though because the token from OnePlus is not needed tondo so.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Is your device SIM unlocked? Your device has to be permanently SIM unlocked for it to allow the OEM Unlock switch to be enabled.

You need to SIM unlock first.

Windows is having a fit with the MSM tool, saying it's a virus. Pretty difficult to get it to ignore it. Just a heads up.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] luckylui:
Sim unlock first on stock T-Mobile oos with the unlock apk, reboot the phone, then enable oem unlock. Convert to international and fully unlock the bootloader via "fastboot oem unlock". If you try to unlock the bootloader while on T-Mobile it will ask you for a code. International bypasses that needed code.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] TriBeard:
So I have sim unlocked through the thread here, and converted to international. I know both the 6t and the 7 pro once converted only REPORT one IMEI number in settings, but with the 6t there was a second IMEI that the carrier would see if you actually put in another sim card and it would function identically to the non-tmo oneplus 6t. Does the 7 pro work the same way?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
The OnePlus 7 Pro uses the same IMEI for both SIM's, when that device is a converted GM1915 to the international firmware.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] TriBeard:
Lame. This should still work for my purposes but it's a shame to see this be different than on the 6t.

Is there any way to use this modded MSM tool to turn a Chinese GM1910 into a standard international model?

If I use the standard non-modded MSM tool OOS flashes fine but things like recovery default to Chinese language.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] suzook:
Agreed.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] akxak:
Reading this thread and despite the great job the dev did, I returned the phone to T-Mobile because I asked them whether there is a difference between their version and the version sold directly by Oneplus... they said no. I ordered it directly from Oneplus... ordering it Friday, they'll deliver Monday and I save the T-Mobile upgrade fee.

So for everyone havkbg yet not bought the phone at T-Mobile, skip that, avoid the hassle and order from Oneplus.
