To use MSM tool I never installed any L2 drivers or anything, it just worked. I can't get the TWRP TO flash on my T Mobile flashed to international, then to Q DP3. Fastboot boot TWRP.img didn't work for me it fails. Any ideas?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Do you have USB Debugging enabled in the Developer Options? Did you download the SDK or use the fastboot installer and install it system wide? Do you have the latest version of TWRP to install?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
You will need to flash a kernel and/or ROM after the steps below, but they worked for me.

Install TWRP to the boot partition and then reboot the phone. You're supposed to use "fastboot boot TWRP.img" to get into a temporary session, and then flash it permanently, but it only worked for me one time out of numerous attempts. So instead use "fastboot flash boot TWRP.img" and after it says successful, select Start from the phone itself. It will boot into TWRP since you overwrote the boot partition with it.

Flash OOS 9.5.11 full OTA

Flash Magisk 19.4 Canary

Flash TWRP.img

Flash Magisk again (TWRP removes it, and without the double flash like this, I had it disappear once)

Reboot back into OOS

Those steps will get you on the latest update and will not require a factory reset, unless you want to do that also.

If your phone is not sim unlocked, I don't think it will work. If so Adb reboot edl. Watch this

[youtube]fTpPUpCHfRY[/youtube]
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
You do not need to be SIM unlocked to convert. That is only to unlock the bootloader.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] kamots:
Oh ok. I thought I read that you had to be sim unlocked in op. Thanks for the correction
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] epik808:
Could you provide links to the files please? I have tried all the TWRP, both from TWRP site and the unified ones and nothing. I couldn't find the boot.img cause the one I tried is for 9.5.3 but my system shows 9.5? Also, after installing the boot.img it goes okay, installing TWRP to slot b it goes okay,but, phone reboots only into bootloader

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] epik808:
Okay so do I fastboot flash the 9.5.3 stock boot img then flashboot flash the TWRP.img?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] epik808:
Okay,so, I can't flash the TWRP like I said because it reboots right back into bootloader(no recovery, no OS). Can you please provide a link to the boot.img and TWRP.img you use? I have 9.5 and I just downloaded the 9.5.3 boot.img if that's what I need to use
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
You don't flash a boot.img. You flash TWRP to the boot partition, and then reboot the phone. If you are having issues with that, flash TWRP to boot once, reboot directly back into bootloader, and repeat the steps. This will get TWRP into both A and B slots.

First, attempt to just boot TWRP without a flash - fastboot boot TWRP.img (or whatever you named the TWRP installer)

If that does not work, then do this:

fastboot flash boot TWRP.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash boot TWRP.img

fastboot reboot

TWRP should now load. Under advanced, check which slot is active. Flash the OOS 9.5.11 Full OTA (2-4 minutes), go back to advanced and change to the other slot, flash OTA again. Flash TWRP in the selected slot, then change it and flash again. At this point, you have a stock, unrooted ROM, with TWRP. If you want root, flash Magisk 19.4 Canary, and then reboot into the OS.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] epik808:
Which TWRP do I use? The ones I've tried hasn't worked. Also, it always says slot b, it says okay but only leaves me in bootloader.

I am now on International fw.. Tested two SIMs today and worked great. Yoo hoo... Thanks a lot for all the help to all!

Okay so I've been messing with it and NO SUCCESS! So let me clarify again what I've done. I am thinking that T-Mobile variant is only able to get international version and not root and TWRP. Here it is:

T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro

1. Flashed with MSMTool to international

2. Installed Android Q DP3

3. Unlocked bootloader

4. Attempted flashing every TWRP for guacamole with the following commands;

fastboot boot TWRP.img. (0 success rate)

and fastboot flash boot TWRP.img ( everything says Okay in slot b) phone only boots to bootloader nothing else.

I've tried everything and same results. Since no one is providing a T-Mobile TWRP and an actual method that works I don't think it's possible because I can't find it anywhere in these forums except to switch to international

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] epik808:
Maybe I should mention that my device is not sim unlocked. I'm unlocking bootloader from Android q dp3 could that possibly be the problem that I can't get root and twrp?

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 AM ----------

Okay so I downloaded the GM21AA 9.5.11 ota zip and gonna try doing the mentioned above and Install the 9.5.11 after unlocking the bootloader to see if it works. I've ran out of options since I've tried everything else
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] epik808:
OKAY SO I FINALLY HAVE TWRP AND ROOT!

Since methods aren't clear here's how I did it:

1. Msm tool to flash international

2. Install Android Q DP3 through cog wheel on system update

3. Unlock bootloader through developer settings then fastboot

4. Install 9.5.11(GM21AA) OTA update zip through cog wheel on system updates

5. Now you can use fastboot boot TWRP.img in fastboot mode to temporarily boot into TWRP and use the installer to permanently put it on your device.

6. There will be no OS so you need to reinstall 9.5.11 zip through TWRP and you should be good to go

7. Root optional, I used magisk canary apk to download zip and flash in TWRP.

Everything is fully functional;
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] epik808:
BTW the method steps I posted is for the T-Mobile variant
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
So you were running the TMO firmware until the last post? I figured you were on international since you're posting in this thread. I did not attempt my steps on TMO, but they worked for me on international.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] invisibleikon:
I've tried and tried to do this and nothing. My OnePlus 7 Pro TMO was just updated, I cannot get the phone into EDL. Maybe the update did something?

Adb recognizes the device and everything anyone have luck since latest OTA push?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] epik808:
I was on the latest firmware on Tmo and switched to international and everything worked. If you tried installing the L2 drivers DONT! I never installed those. It's a simple process. Turn your phone off, open MSM Tool on your PC, hold volume up and down and plug it into your pcit should show connected on COM Port, deselect sha256 and press start.

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

No, I was on International from a flash. But I got it to work finally the way I mentioned on my previous post. Gonna try and flash AOSIP later and see how that goes. Thanks
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jayjay7411:
Any reason particular why you use dp3 vs dp4?

I'm stock T-Mobile with sim unlocked so i should be able to follow your instructions to convert to international and achieve root with TWRP so I can flash Roms like normal.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] bickfordman:
I can't download the tool it keeps saying there is a virus on it
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Disable your anti-virus. False positives are a big issues with some anti-virus software.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] epik808:
It's used so that OEM unlock is available
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jayjay7411:
Ok so I can follow your instructions?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] epik808:
Sure. Make sure you put the zips on your phone before pressing the cog wheel and update it from local storage. I only have twrp and root. I haven't tried any roms yet
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] bickfordman:
Got it downloaded and now just can't get it to recognize the device,

Hold volume up volume down five seconds then plug in and let go right.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] epik808:
Doesn't have to be 5 seconds. Make sure your holding it when you plug it in, it should recognize immediately. If not put your phone into bootloader and go into your device manager on Windows and update the adb composite driver from online and you should be good to go

I don't qualify for this unfortunately, seems like I can't unlock my SIM if I'm on Jump on Demand
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Did you try? Others with JUMP have had their SIM unlocked.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] vahdyx:
I didn't give it much effort but when I called T-Mobile the rep on the phone said I'd lose Jump on Demand and go to regular JUMP if I continue and I didn't want to do that.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
There are two threads that bypass the frontline reps to unlock your device. Perhaps ask one of those providing the service if that is case when they unlock your device.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] eduardmc:
That such a bs. I have sim unlock all my jod phone. I tried tforce or different reps,. Always that i have ti travel for business need my phone sim u lock. Did it with my 6t, note 9, iphone xs max. Oneolus 7 pro No problem what so ever.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
Try through Twitter. I've had the most success with them through DM, partially because you can explain your issue in detail better than some will understand it when said on the phone.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jayjay7411:
Quick question so by following your instructions I'll be able to take regular OTA updates from OnePlus or manually update as OnePlus releases software and maintain Root?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
When your bootloader is unlocked, OnePlus will default to downloading the full OTA package. You can then flash it in TWRP and flash Magisk after in order to keep root.

Guys I just unlocked my sim with the other post method, but now I'm having some problems, cause my computer is not detecting my phone...

I think there are some problems with the drivers...

Any solution? Thanks
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jayjay7411:
So for me I didn't try to unlock bootloader right after msm tool completed. Instead I used Ericks method. I flashed international with MSM Tool then went through setup. Then downloaded DP3 to my device and updated to DP3 using the COG Wheel in System update. Then I was able to bootloader unlock in developer settings/fastboot mode.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] bickfordman:
Sorry what is DP3
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jayjay7411:
Developer Preview 3 of Android Q.

For some reason the stock international didn't let us bootloader unlock but DP3 does. https://www.androidauthority.com/android-q-beta-3-oneplus-1011371/

You can visit this site and then click OP7Pro link
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] bickfordman:
I did that and when I press the cog it says it needs to be on the root of the device
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jayjay7411:
Yup, which just means you move the DP3 zip file out of the download folder and just in the "Root" of your storage. Basically go to OnePlus file manager click on storage at the bottom them go to your download folder find the zip file press and hold, click 3 dots top right corner, hit copy, then at the top click internal storage and paste it there. That's the Root of your internal storage meaning it's not hidden within a folder and the system updater can now find the file

I'm able to boot into fastboot mode but adb commands says whiling for phone
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jayjay7411:
Umm then you didn't stay on the msm tool stock firmware. It seems like you might have taken the OTA... Which if you did it means you can't unlock bootloader on this version of software. My thoughts are you have to use the MSM tool again and then do the steps I stated to go to DP3.

You might want to confirm that you are able to use MSM tool with the firmware you are currently on. I dont see any issue with it but I'm not a Dev either.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] bickfordman:
Yes I can
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] bickfordman:

Yes, it is... And oem unlocking activated
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] bickfordman:
Awesome I will def wait for the tutorial
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
MSM to International

OTA to DP3

Enable OEM Unlocking

Unlock bootloader in fastboot

Reboot back into bootloader after the factory reset runs

Run TWRP using temporary command

Flash TWRP img file from inside temp TWRP

Reboot back into TWRP

Check active slot in Advanced

Format system partition

Change to other active slot

Format system partition

Flash 9.5.11 full OTA, do not reboot after

Change to other active slot

Flash OTA again, do not reboot after

Flash TWRP again, reboot

You will now be on the latest OOS update and TWRP in both A/B slots. If you want root, flash Magisk as the very last step.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] invisibleikon:
I was able to flash to international firmware, thanks so much
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jayjay7411:
quick question, so the next time an update comes out and we download the update and go to twrp to flash do we basically do the same thing all over again? format system in both slots, flash update in both slots, flash twrp in both slots, then magisk at the end?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
Not for an update. You download the full OTA, and dirty flash in the A/B slots. No need to wipe or format anything. You will still need to flash TWRP and/or Magisk at the very end.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jayjay7411:
another question if we wanted to be stock no root no twrp but on the international software so we don't have to wait for TMO for updates then we could just use the msm tool and then download the latest OTA and update like you normally would or cog wheel.

Then from here forward each time one plus release a firmware update we receive it OTA like normal....
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
As long as you are on a fully stock firmware, you can receive OTA's normally.

The T-Mobile firmware does come from OnePlus though, just like the rest of them. Devices sold directly by the OEM though are almost always the priority for updates. If you also take the time to compare the update notes for each update. The updates for the T-Mobile firmware versus the International/US differ, making the version numbers not relevant for a direct comparison.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jayjay7411:
I've just been out of the root and flashing game too long and this device doesn't seem easy to maintain so I will just stay with stock international firmware lol and as newer OTAs are released I assume they'll hit my device as normal or I can download manually and use cog wheel
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
They come out in waves. You can use the Oxygen Updator from the PlayStore to check for updates, even if your device hasn't received it yet. Once updates are released, they are usually posted fairly quick as well. Copying to the uodate to internal storage and manually applying it is also fairly easy.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] bickfordman:
If you do that for dp3 or dp4 how to you get service back
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jayjay7411:
So in theory if I'm bootloader unlocked and on the latest OTA to root again I can just fastboot temp TWRP then perm flash TWRP while in TWRP. Boot back into ROM and then back into TWRP and flash magisk?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] lazbrav92:
Question...

I need to unlock the bootloader before do the conversion?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jayjay7411:
So just a side note i did not realize this until now but if you do the MSM Tool again it re locks your boot-loader... i find that so strange and I for some reason thought that unlocking a boot-loader was irreversible shows how long its been since i have rooted and flashed roms lol

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

No you unlock your bootloader after you convert
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] smallsmx301:
What are the main differences between the TMO ROM and the international one
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] lazbrav92:
When I tryed to convert via msm tool...

The program stops on prarem preload or something like that, and then do nothing else.. I don't know why
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jayjay7411:
So someone mentioned that's because you need to install the L2 drivers. I'm kind of a novice in that area.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] TerminalMole:
I have been having the same issues and I have been using the L2 drivers. Any advise?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] lazbrav92:
I'll try at home to install the L2 drivers with the on edl mode... Because the msm tool says connected...

And the thread says... If the msm tool appear like waiting for the device, that means you need to install the L2 drivers...
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
If you don't care about root or TWRP, then you can update immediately after running the MSM tool. Just keep in mind that if you have a TMO device and it is not paid off or SIM unlocked, you will not be able to unlock the bootloader without first flashing DP3.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you just need to run a temp TWRP, flash permanent TWRP (optional) and then flash Magisk.

MSM tool will relock your bootloader, but as long as you were unlocked at one point, you can just enable OEM Unlocking and then run the fastboot command again. No need for DP3 or anything else beyond the first time.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jayjay7411:
Guess you're right since I have bootloader unlocked once before I can do it now even though I'm on latest OTA.

So my plan is to re-enable bootloader unlock.

Fastboot unlock bootloader.

Then boot into fastboot again.

Then fastboot TWRP IMG.

Then flash perm TWRP ZIP.

BOOT

Then back into TWRP and Flash Magisk

BOOT
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] lazbrav92:
Well my and composit driver has not a yellow mark.. i installed L2 drivers, so I think I'm going to uninstall the driver and install new in that way...

Let's see what happens
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] lazbrav92:
Little question...

When yo press both Volume bottoms and connect the cable.. the screen turns on? Cause on my phone still off...

And yeah, I just do like that... Press both bottoms and connect quickly.. the msm tool says connected... But says param preload...
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] bickfordman:
I don't thin so I had boot loader unlocked with dp3 and than lost signal so I used the msm tool again and the OEM unlock is still greyed out
