[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] MtnSteader:
My first post ever on this forum....

Thank you!

I have converted my OP7 pro to International successfully. Though I am a professional software developer, and I am used to work with technical things...it was a bit of a journey to figure out how to install L2 drivers, etc. etc.. Many things are hidden between the lines in the steps in this initial tutorial ;-).

Anyhow...

I now have the OxygenOS 9.5.3.xxxx with Android 9 as per the ROM linked initially in this thread, and I i.e. have setup for two sims, etc.

Awesome!

But...now I have a some questions...and yes...I have looked around a lot for a proper answer, and have not found any...

1. My OP7 pro is a GM1915 (TMO), and the main reason I wanted to make it an International version is that I could successfully install LineageOS on it. Is this a correct path for me...or is a conversion like this meant for people living in Europe that want to buy a US (TMO) OP7? Just wondering...

2. Before the conversion my OP7 had OxygenOS 10 (think it was) on it, and it worked awesome with Mint Mobile...using TMO's network. Does anyone know if i.e. Mint (TMO) has a minimum requirement of Android version for phones used in their network? After the conversion I now get "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user" on the page "APNs" for SIM1. Although I can click the "+" to fill in the access point fields...it is not possible to save the new settings.

I know some people say to do a "Reset to default" on the APNs page...but of no help to me.

I have ordered a dual SIM tray so that I can try to place my Mint Mobile SIM in the SIM 2 spot since someone on the Internet have been suggesting that.

3. So my main question is then: Should I then go forward with upgrading my converted International version of OxygenOS 9.x to OxygenOS 11.x and hope that my SIM will start working again and I can be able to set up APN settings properly...or is there any other issues that I need to be aware of?

Any advice is appreciated.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] MtnSteader:
Reg. my issue (# 2 above): Right after the initial conversion...OxygenOS version 9.xxx was not able to read or communicate with the SIM card. As soon as I had done a hard refresh, and then set up the phone being connected to a WiFi I did the first available upgrade to OxygenOS 10...and the SIM card was all fine from then on...
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Morgane3D:
Android 9 : the sim not workf properly.

Android 10 : All the features works well.

Android 11 : Big issue with screen (Black Screen).
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] mengfei:
thanks @Morgane3D for the heads up

i'm on android 11 TMOB, i guess i'll stick t this one till a fix is found.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] alya28:
Thank you.

After an entire day of struggle, finally the solution.

The OP should be updated with this info.

I was in the same situation, but it's currently working fine 90hz and QHD+
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] hashshamullah:
Hello Everyone!

I managed to get to the international version from a T-mobile version, but somehow I still get a pop up saying that it is network locked whenever I put my sim in, as you can see in the screenshot. Can anyone help me out here? Thank you so much to all the members of this wonderful community.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jlwoolf:
Run this command in adb to force 90Hz all the time. The battery loss is negligible. The issue comes from variable refresh rate, and this has fixed the issue on my GM1915

adb shell settings put global oneplus_screen_refresh_rate 0

Hi my friend, I have an issue. Ok I followed all steps. I have now my converted tmo phone to a global version. But I don't have network at all. I tried. A metro pcs, a cricket and a telcel. None of them will give me signal. So I was wondering if I need to flash something else, thank you!!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] bighleo114312:
Ok. Sorry I found the problem. I need a wifi to update the phone. And sim will work again

Does this work with windows 11? I am facing an issue, MSM too doesn't run.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] GamingDoggo:
Can this msm tool be used to get my TMobile 7 pro back to stock oos from a custom rom?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] adriantechguy:
Yes
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] GamingDoggo:
Cool thanks.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] sicfukc:
I purchased a OnePlus 7 Pro T-Mobile version. It is on android 11, with no option for OEM Unlock and the SIM is locked. All attempts to rebrand and downgrade have not succeeded. Should I try to return it? Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] DLBtapS:
Hi all, OnePlus 7 Pro TMO, unlocked bootloader, installed twrp then flashed lineageOS. Lineage stuck on boot. Tied to revert back and bricked. Now trying this method and MSM run through downloading system.img to system_a and crashes at the same spot everytime. any suggestions?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] werichard559:
hi,i bought an OP9 from ebay,its T-moble with SIM locked.

and iam wondering if there are any way to unlock the phone thru msmtool or anything else.

so pls help me.

sorry for my poor english.

best regards and merry christmas from china.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
No. You can look at one of those third party unlocking services to see if they can unlock it for you but the MSM Tool will not remove the SIM lock on your device. Flashing does not alter the SIM lock or unlock state of the device.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] werichard559:
thx for reply.

i dont know any trustable third party,any suggestion?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Sorry. I haven't used one online in a long time. My local malls have kiosks with unlocking services.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] DaveImagery:
I'd really like to know if anyone has done this successfully, having started with a phone that has been updated to android 11? I have tried this procedure several times, with no luck.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] yhwh111:
just did the conversion successfully just as indicated on the OP. No issues at all. Thanks Dev.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] yhwh111:
download the qualcom drivers if the msm tool is not seeing your phone, that was my main issue once i installed those drivers got it done successfully. I was on android 11 december sec patch,
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] DaveImagery:
The tool connects to my phone, but I'm still getting stuck at param preload. I did what was suggested about the L2 drivers, still no luck.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Morgane3D:
So, you think a gm1915 can work on android 11 with international firmware, quadhd and 90 hertz with this solution?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Morgane3D:
Anyone can found the solution to this bug ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jlwoolf:
I've been running mine for over a year now using this solution with no noticeable bugs. Even persists after reboot. I don't get any weird scaling issues.

It looks like this in the settings but you'll see no option is selected in refresh rate as there is no dynamic switching. It is running at 90hz.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Morgane3D:
Thx for reply.

But when you had a ota update, u must run the force 4k and 90 hertz in option no ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jlwoolf:
The command only forces 90hz. Nothing to do with the resolution. And I honestly don't remember if I needed to do it after an OTA update. Which means I probably didn't as I would've remembered having to do it a few times. In fact this command can be done on your phone if you just install a terminal app and run it. It's a pretty solid fix that I haven't really thought about for months since it works so well.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] cybermorph:
Ughh why do I always seem to be the exception to these kind of apparently easy fixes? Have spent hours on my computer, and although it connects, I get an error every single time. Usually in red, the saharra error and then changed cables and ports and get the other one where it just hangs on param something... went to use a friends computer and get the same red saharra error.... weird that my windows wants to use the qualcom drivers it has while my friends properly identifies it as a gm1915... had tried the supplied drivers which seem useless with my windows as it doesnt use them anyways even when directed to use them....oh why couldnt this program be available in Mac as it would probalby work.. what a nightmare... so should just keep going to different computers to see? how frustrating....if anyone has any fixes but just seems it's just some of us random that get constant issues. At least there seems to be enough of us so the whole procedure is a bit hit and miss from the looks of it. And yes I have Android 11 which I assumed wasn't an issue. Is there not some other work around as this doesnt look promising. thanks
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] SmartSamu:
Please can I get a guide on how to do this please? It's so confusing I gave this issue every time,

Please are you saying I should turn off my phone and just run the command or what, am so confused right now please help
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] SmartSamu:
So you'll having issues with this method, please note that you must use a oneplus chord, it doesn't work with any third party chord.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] skb_twiz:
Does anyone have a working link for the ops patch tool? I would like to create a patched ops for OOS11 so that I don't have to go through the process of installing the provided patched OOS9 and then installing updates all the way to OOS11.

I am learning how to cook ROMs, and build kernels, so I brick my device quite frequently :) so having a pre-patched OOS11 build to revert to would be very convenient. Thank you!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] theslam08:
@skb_twiz

I'm not sure if this will help, but I found the following over at droidwin

https://www.droidwin.com/download-m...eplus-device/#OnePlus_7_PRO_MSM_Download_Tool shows an option for Global_OOS_11

https://www.droidwin.com/unbrick-on...STEP_4_Download_MSM_Download_Tool_for_OnePlus shows an option for OOS_10.3.8

From what I read on there (and from other research) it seems maybe that is all that is necessary? Just download one of those (not sure what the difference is besides the obvious android version...), open the MSM tool from the downloaded package and flash in EDL mode.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] techsf:
Thank you for this. I do not have a OP7 Pro. Do you have this solution available for OP 8 and OP 9 Pro? Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] alpha777omega:
I'm stuck at this stage where after Step 7, I go to fastboot mode and type "fastboot oem unlock" and it shows <waiting for device>. Can someone help me?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Do you have USB Debugging enabled? Do you have the drivers installed for your device in fastboot?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] alpha777omega:
Yes sir, and I had no problem while converting to the international variant. But before the conversion, I had spent hours trying several fixes (I fixed it by this method: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-fix-device-not-showing-up-in-fastboot-mode-windows-10-11.4194491 ) to unlock my bootloader, because my device just wasn't being detected by adb. And now that's happening again, even after I fixed the driver issue.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] prospect565:
Hey guys. Thanks for the instructions and the help, took me a while before my MSM Tool could detect my phone but I have finally done the switch from T-Mobile to International.

I kept getting the OTA updates and I kept updating, now my phone is unusable. Screen goes black unnecessarily, the resolution problem etc etc.

I wanted to know if I can have everything similar to a normal OnePlus 7 Pro with the official Android 11 and also if I can keep the OTA updates that'll follow?

I don't want to root or unlock bootloader because I hear that there are issues with Netflix and Google Pay. I don't want to have issues with my banking applications.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] prospect565:
The previous screenshot is from my phone and this one is from my friend's phone who has the model that runs Android 11 but doesn't have the issues I have.

If my understanding is correct, if I move the build to the one on my friend's phone the issues should be resolved for me as well? If yes, how do I achieve that?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Stop using partial updates and use full updates from Oxygen Updater.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] prospect565:
I am sorry I didn't understand that, can you please let me know what I am doing wrong or if you could guide me, that'll mean the world to me
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Using incremental updates over time can cause so many problems. There is an app you can get fro. the ayStore called, Oxygen Updater. From that app, you can download two types of updates for your device. Incremental or full. You want to download the full update each time and install that via local update. The full update makes sure that the update is compete and doesn't skip over any files. In an incremental update, it only contains files that need to be updated but updating all files is always better for the heath of the OS.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] prospect565:
I got your point. Following is what I am doing right now.

1. Downgraded back to the Android 9 version using MSM.

2. Downloaded "Oxygen Updater", switched to "stable (full)"

Let me update you as soon as I am done with updating the builds.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] prospect565:
Thanks for this, the first time I used my phone's OTA updates and that had several issues.

This time, I upgraded using the Oxygen Updater and most of the issues are gone. However, randomly my phone's screen is zoomed in and it doesn't get fixed unless I restart my phone. Which is extremely annoying. I did set the resolution to QHD but is there any way around it?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Phantom Thief:
Try to run the following adb command like it was mentioned a few pages ago:

adb shell settings put global oneplus_screen_refresh_rate 0
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] hunterdelrey:
I am about to convert back and try this... I wish you posted this back when 11 came out lol
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Phantom Thief:
Well I just read a few pages back 😜 Let me know if it fixes :)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] prospect565:
It actually works like a charm. I installed LADB application, enabled wireless debugging and usb debugging from the developer options.

That gave me ADB access and I ran the command. That fixed the scaling issue for me, a few days in and I got the Android 12 update. So I am now on Android 12, where the battery life sucks btw.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] GoofyPanda:
Hi, question about sim unlocking. When the guide says that sim unlocking is not supported, does that mean that i can only use the device with tmo after switching to international or that I can't unlock the sim with this process/ while on the Interational version?

Currently my sim is unlocked permanently and I'm a different carrier
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Flashing does not alter the SIM lock/unlock state.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Epic028:
Once you permanently unlock the carrier lock, your gm1915 is basically a gm1917.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
You must get your device SIM unlocked before flashing from the T-Mobile to Global firmware, if you want to use other SIM's besides T-Mobile.

anyone got the future proofing patcher?

Can you post a working link to your Global patcher utility? I have a GM1915 (tmo) that was converted to international. But I can't use the current MSMs with stock ods files to restore to earlier versions as I get a parameter mismatch without the patcher. thanx

Index of /list/Unbrick_Tools/OnePlus_7_Pro/T-Mobile_GM31CB/Conversion_Tool

This is the one with the patched tool to convert from tmobile to global rom.

Not sure if you've done this already, but I want to mention that unlocking the tmobile sim lock requires contacting tmobile to do the permanent unlock in the tmobile rom if you get the failed unlock error. Even if you install global rom with oem unlocked, the tmobile sim lock is still tied to the phone. I had asked an xda member, mobbdeep, to unlock it and I needed an active tmobile sim card in it for 3 days for it to work. I don't think he does it anymore though.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] littlebuddha:
Thank you! Yes my phone is already unlocked so hopefully it will not be an issue. Has not been used for a little while now. I am assuming I can use the same process/files as listed in the first posting?

If all goes to plan, hopefully I will eek some more life out of my 7 pro!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] :
If I have a T-mobile variant that is already bootloader unlocked (fully paid off, SIM unlocked and OEM unlock in settings, then ran fastboot oem unlock successfully, I get the "bootloader is unlocked" warning on boot) do I still need to use this to convert to international variant before I install custom roms, or can I just flash them normally?

Is there something else this does that's absolutely vital to not bricking the phone, even if it's already bootloader unlocked? Sorry if this is a weird question, I haven't messed with this stuff in years.

Edit: I went ahead and used the tool, considering it won't hurt anything to do so, but I am still curious about this for future reference and for anyone else who reads this thread.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] freddyjuarez:
Question so this tool will change my oneplus 7 pro from t-mobile to international but will downgrade os to guacamole I need to know if i can later manually update to oxygen?

or will i automatically be notified that theres an update????

better yet has anyone came out with instructions to switch to Global/International but installing Oxygen instead????
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
You will get updates for the firmware you convert to. You can update through the Updater or use the full latest image to update through the local update option.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] freddyjuarez:
Okay so your saying after it installs guacamole I can download oxygen zip file from OnePlus 7 website and update by doing local update option?????
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Yes.

Both the sim slots on my phone after conversion are the same. Has anyone been able to figure out how to change them? Normally the second slot has an incremented last digit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nisim:
Hi All,

I purchased a Samsung Note-8 SM-N9500 (256GB) in Oct 2017

Within 6 months, i had a problem that it would shut off when being charged with the original fast charger.

Within 12 months, it was shutting down even when charged with regular low power charge.

Now about 18 months later, it over heats even when just used casually and shuts off.

It needs to cool down sufficiently (15-20 min before i can get it to turn and stay on!

My frustration level is through the roof!

I purchased it through a seller on Amazon and so had no warranty.

When i took it to a Samsung repair shops in Singapore, they say they don't have this specific motherboard in stock and wont help.

I have been trying to search online for months for the right motherboard, but as this is the SM-N9500 (256GB) Chinese model, i haven't had any luck.

I need HELP!

Where can i find a motherboard for Samsung SM-N9500 (256GB)?

Thanks

Nisim
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] il_guardio:
Hello all!

First and for most, I'm sorry for my bad english and I bag you pardon if that's the wrong side of the forum to ask about this, but weeks have passed and I can't find a solution anywhere!

Weeks ago I bootloaded my Xiaomi Mi 8 lite and rooted with magisk just to run Fortnite on my incompatible device (joke on me later).

Everything went good and I was (and am) able to play the game, after installing GL Tools and "editing some build.prop lines".

The lines in question are:

ro.build.flavor=

ro.product.model=

ro.product.brand=

ro.build.product=

ro.product.name=

ro.product.device=

But I saw that the face-id was no longer aviable, I can't update the phone or download magisk modules.

In my ignorance, I think that the change of brand and model are confusing my phone, can I, in any way, revert the changes? I don't want to install a new rom because the phone works flawlessy, is anywhere I can find those build.prop values just to update and download the modules?

and I FORGOT TO MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE EDITING, ANOTHER THING TO JOKE ME :(

Thanks a lot!
