[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Yes. The Developer Preview 3 allows for the bootloader to be unlocked without the need to SIM unlock and then submit to OnePlus support for a bootloader unlock token.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] ytdttj:
Unlock token? I thought I can directly unlock it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
If you apply for the bootloader unlock normally, your SIM would have to be unlocked and you would have to apply for the bootloader unlock token through OnePlus support. Flashing to the DP3 gets around this, allowing you to unlock the bootloader even if the SIM is still locked and without needing the token from OnePlus support.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] ytdttj:
I understand! Thank you so much for helping!

Excuse me, where can I download Android 11 DP3 for OnePlus 7 Pro?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
There are a couple of threads, probably buried by a few pages or so, on the Developer Preview, complete with links and instructions.

Can anyone please help me?

I'm new to all of this but

I downloaded the links as instructed

I have the adb bridge set up

I opened cmd and typed in adb reboot edl

my phone screen went black

nothing ever showed up in the msm download tool

phone: oneplus 7pro 5g sprint

any advice would be greatly appreciated, phone is currently black, worried that I bricked it.

---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

OK sorry, should have read more before I posted, I held the power button and volume up button and the phone turned on. So really I think the main issue is that my phone didn't show up on the msm thing. Am I missing something? any ideas? thank you
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Shadowsoul Asriel:
the mega links are down?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] QuintonS:
EDIT: Of course after posting this I figured it out. I held down the volume up and power buttons and it turned on saying the download failed and got into a bootloop. So from there I held down both volume buttons and let it bootloop again and MSM picked it up and started the upgrade again.

Okay I sincerely need help! I started the image using the MSM tool, then noticed that sha256 was checked. So I stopped the MSM tool (using the stop button). It said it was stopped successfully. I tried going through to restart the process and now my phone doesn't turn on, and when I do the 5 seconds hold on volume keys and plugin USB, I just get "USB device not recognized" and I can't install any drivers manually in device manager as it says the device descriptor could not be found.

Does anybody have any tips? I can't use the MSM tool to unbrick as it won't detect the phone either...

---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

Also, to those that are trying to use the MSM tool and get "Packed image not exist" please also make sure that there is only ONE ops file in the directory of the MSM tool. If there are two, it will prompt you to select one and then give this error. Move them into a single directory or move the ops files (except one) to somewhere else.

Should we backup the persist.img after unlocking the bootloader or is that necessary? Thought I heard it is specific to each phone and may be needed sometimes.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Reechings:
Would the reason I'm having problems getting past param preload possibly be because my phone came preinstalled with TMobile Android 10.0.3.GM31CB? Do I need to use the TMo specific msm tool to downgrade first then try to go to international following OP?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Hazelnutz:
Can I use this method for Sprint 5G?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] RandomPooka:
It's not a good idea, since this isn't for converting from that device.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] chogau1:
Question, is the "t-mobile" branded device only the ROM that comes with the phone and once you unlock the bootloader, flash twrp and flash another rom, the t-mobile branded is gone or this tool also removes an "internal" t-mobile branded settings that goes beyong installing a new global rom?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] glitchsys:
"Hot off the press. Here is a tool that will allow you to patch an ops file without having to download a new modified one every update.

You can use this with a stock MSM or the modified one linked above. Must be run on an unmodified ops..

Global"

That mega link is down. Is there an alternative link?

I'm doing this to my OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren from T-Mobile, I want to make it international generic so I don't have to wait on T-Mobile to release updates. I'm at the msmdownloadtool portion, finally managed to click on Start and I've been waiting about 10 minutes at "Progress of Download" "Time: 6s" etc. but still no Success in green message. But the next step is about future proofing and I need some tool that used to be on Mega but is no longer. Help?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] mashk:
Stuck

I have not managed to do anything all day.

Anyone knowns what I'm doing wrong?

See attached photos

UPDATE:

I did manage to flash finally but the device is still simlocked!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Flashing the device does not alter the SIM lock state. If you want to SIM unlock the device, you will need to go back to the T-Mobile firmware and have it SIM unlocked before flashing back to the International firmware.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] mashk:
Yikes, evening flashing a custom ROM? I bought the device off ebay as unlocked only to realize it wasn't true. I'm continents away from the seller hence might not send it back.

I've even tried the DP3 hack in vain!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Even flashing a Custom ROM does not alter the SIM lock state. DP3 only allows you to circumvent needing a token to unlock the bootloader.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] mashk:
Any other option other than talking to Tmobile or shipping it back?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Not as of yet. Considering the device has been out for almost a year and a half. If you want it unlocked, you need to meet T-Mobile's unlock requirements and the device would need to be on the T-Mobile firmware with a T-Mobile SIM in it and the unlock has to be requested from the account it was purchased on.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] madmattco:
Used an unlocked tmobile op7pro. flashed international version per instructions. any idea why both of my sim slot imei numbers are the same?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Because the T-Mobile version of the device was only given a single IMEI number per unit.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] raven911:
There has been various back and forth on this, but wondering if someone can confirm. If we follow the steps outlined, but do NOT unlock the bootloader, then take all the OTA's, does the device remain certified / pass safetynet? I know some people have success with Magisk, but its a constant battle with Google's safetynet updates, and I've had trouble maintaining it. I converted a Tmobile OP6T to global rom, keeping locked bootlooader, and the device passed SafetyNet while it was on Android 9, but the Android 10 update broke safetynet...Wondering what the status is for OP7. Thanks!!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
I converted with the MSM Tool without unlocking the bootloader. SafetyNet is not an issue and has always said, passed for me.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] raven911:
Thank you for confirming! I guess the risk then is that if there's an update to Android 11, then SafetyNet breaks (with locked bootloader), similar to what happened to 6T?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
I can't say. I didn't have a 6T but I have two OP7P's that both have been converted. One back when it came out, the other back in August. Both used the MSM Tool method and I haven't had any issues with SafetyNet or taking OTA's. I don't think the 7 Pro is getting Android 11 anytime soon to consider one way or another. If it does break with Android 11 though. You can always use the MSM Tool to return back to the T-Mobile firmware.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] raven911:
I need the dual-sim functionality, so converting back to the T-Mobile firmware using the MSM tool isn't an option for me:( *sigh* I guess its risk you have to take for getting the T-Mobile branded version at a lower price point.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Gregzi:
I am almost half on the OP7P bandwagon, almost...

I bedded one T-mobile OP7P for 250 EUR - sim locked.

I need to to be able to use my domestic operator's SIM and have network connection with LTE and possibly volte and / wowifi.

Does this process achieve that?

I went through the half of the thread and it seems that I can achieve that, as long as I don't update to 11, right?

I need banking apps, so I need a little bit of advisory here.

Thank you.

Edit: No go since it is sim locked / returned / goy my money back...
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] JebCubed:
I apologize for my ignorance here, and that this has probably already been asked here.

Whenever I try holding the volume up and down then plugging it in, there is no change in MSM. Status is always N/A. I am running it as an admin but other than that I am clueless as to what I am doing wrong, nor do I know what information would be helpful in helping me.

Any help would be much appreciated as I am tired of having the bloatware and lack of updates.

Greyed out Enable OEM Unlocking.

I converted my Tmobile Oneplus 7 pro to international about a year ago, just noticed the OEM UNLOCKING option is greyed out, cannot not select the option to unlock. Why is that so. (Inserted a pic for reference)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Because you need to request the bootloader unlock token from OnePlus Support and then flash it in order to be able to unlock the bootloader.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
No you need to follow a thread around here to flash a certain developer preview firmware. You will then have to change firmware from there to gain fastboot commands. Then upgrade to get signal. There is a way. It will not unlock your sim card. But you can at first gain access to oem unlock then go to another firm to gain bootloader unlock

If your gonna give information please give correct information. The token is old news and does not apply any more if some correctly no token is needed.

https://www.xda-developers.com/t-mobile-oneplus-7-pro-root-tutorial/amp/
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Why does the token not apply anymore? Is OnePlus not issuing the token for the OnePlus 7 Pro anymore?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
Yea but they won't if it's not sim unlocked and why go through it if you don't have to. You made it out as if that's the only way. Which it's most definitely not getting a token is old and most outdated
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Did they mention their device wasn't SIM unlocked? Most already understand that SIM unlocking is pretty much the first step in this whole process. If the token is still possible to request, then my information is not incorrect. It's just a different way of doing something. Not everyone wants to go flashing again when they can wait about a week to request the token through OnePlus Support. Next time, try not coming off like you are the only person here who knows what you are talking about.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
Oem unlock is greyed out. which is 99% probably sim locked. Upon sim unlock oem unlock is ungreyed which means your idea will not work.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] init_dot_t:
you need to download the L2 drivers from the mirror link. after extracting the files, go to either the 32 or 64 folder depending on your system. double click the .cat file, click view signature, view certificate, then install certificate.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
That might hold true for DP3. My OEM unlock stayed greyed out until I used the token from OnePlus Support.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
You can't flash the token until you click oem unlock if I'm not mistaken. Either way I'm sorry I came off strong. I just feel waiting on oem is a waste of time old skool. And half the time specially in greyed out case is useless I tried to gety token when I bought my supposed unlocked op7 pro and they would not give it to me.

Need some help, just got a refurb t-mo 1915 op7p off amazon to hold me over till op9p, trying to flash to international, getting stuck at Param Preload in MSM,!!!???!!!

If I use unpatched MSM v4.0.88 the Param Preload never ends, I cannot force kill or restart mdm, and only a reboot enables a restart of mdm. If I use the patched MDM, Param Preload always hangs at 8s, with no errors shown/thrown. Ive tried from my desktop RyzenThreadripper/Win10/USB2and3 and from Intel/Win10insider/Usb3 laptop and it does the same on both.

So if i successful install twrp and flash the stock international firmware, will it convert to international and accept 2 sims? Or msmdownload tool must be used
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] vangjam:
You need to install the latest Oneplus USB driver and quad comm driver for Oneplus. That way your computer USB ports can register your driver and enable your Oneplus connection.

The wrong problem is you forgot to tell people how to install the drivers a lot of people including me screwed up cuz I didn't know how to properly install the drivers and it took me a lot of searching through random forums to figure it out
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] isidromxz:
It took me literally weeks to figure this out I tried everything and nothing worked almost gave up but here is My solution for param proload problem.

My current set up was T-mobile OP7 Pro running the latest android 10 available 01/2021

So the problem was the L2 drivers included are old and don't work with the phone or windows not sure, I also tried countless other drivers and nothing until I downloaded the updated one from microsoft .

Qualcomm Incorporated - Ports - 3/25/2016 12:00:00 AM - 2.1.2.2	Windows 10 Anniversary Update and Later Servicing Drivers

https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=Qualcomm Incorporated - Ports -

When you click download a windows will open with a link and nothing will download, you have to right click and save as

1.Extract the Cab to a folder (7zip)

2.Open device manager

3.put the phone in EDL Mode so you can see it in device manager(windows will auto install or you already installed drivers)

4.Right Click UPDATE DRIVERS/ BROWSE MY COMPUTER and point to the new folder location

5.windows will update the driver to the newest one version 2.1.2.2

Just to be safe because the phone will time out after the drivers updated I restarted the phone (vol+vol- and power for about 10sec) to finally do the conversion and use the MSM tool

******Make sure you use the included ops and MSM or it wont work only the drivers need update
