[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] JWnSC:
What build are you running to do this? I tried using the latest international pie build with bootloader unlocked.. It errored out, saying unable to erase critical partitions.. Or something similar to that.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] dirtsky:
So I've made the jump to the international firmware and everything went smoothly with out issue. Only thing is I can unlock the bootloader. Is this due to the SIM being locked?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] cobrajet7:
Wtf lol that's easy
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
If you flash to the DP3, you can unlock the bootloader with the SIM lock, but that is the only firmware you can do that on.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] AarSyl:
Not entirely true. I flashed the OB1 and unlocked my bootloader from there.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] JWnSC:
My bootloader is unlocked.. What build so i need to be on to get fastboot erase modemst1 and modemst2 working? I want to sim unlock also
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] AarSyl:
Not sure if that was confirmed. Make sure you have the MSM tool handy....
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] :
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Running windows 10 in virtualbox (because i have a mac). MSM tool launches. have installed oneplus drivers. turn phone off. hold the voume buttons for 5 seconds, then connect the cable. but all that happens is a notification saying that "The last USB device you connected was not recognized and has malfunctioned"

usb debugging is enabled. the VM windows recognizes the phone just fine when its actually on and running. but not when its off and plugged in.

not sure this is possible while not running native windows.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] sparky4017:
Being T-Mobil has dropped the phone I would like to do this been trying for a couple of days but windows keeps telling me files sue unsafe can’t get msm or drivers to load any help please

I’m not really a Windows fan I have a Mac if it would work better
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Disable your anti-virus! False positives are way too common with flashing tools. Keep it disabled through the entire flashing process to ensure it doesn't bork the flash.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] sparky4017:
Thank you sir I will try that tonight
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
Try a different cable.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] :
is that the only suggestion? the only cable i have is the one that came with the 7 Pro. like i said, when the phone is on, the VM windows recognizes the phone and connects to it, no problem. but when the phone is off and i'm doing the volume button step, thats when it tells me its not recognized.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Have you installed the Android SDK driver or the driver from the Microsoft CAB file, both of which are linked to in this thread? When the device is in EDK mode, it requires a driver to be recognized and the device needs to be in EDL mode to install that driver.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] :
i downloaded the archive 1 & 2 files but there are no SDK or CAB files in those, once extracted. could you direct me to the page where they are linked? i did not see them in the OP. just the ones i already have. are you talking about the L2 drivers?

Edit: may have found the issue. I was only able to enter EDL mode by pressing the volume buttons AND the power button. not just the volumes. so i will try again and report back.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Just in case you need it. Here is the link to the Microsoft CAB file. Installing can be tricky because the device will reboot if you don't start the flash within 10-15 seconds automatically. The best way I got this installed was to get Device Manager open, went tot he properties of the unrecognized device, update driver, and got it to the point where you point it to this CAB file. The device reboots, you put it in EDL mode again, select the CAB when it connects, it installs, and you should then be good.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] :
Edit: okay so i was in the fastboot menu not EDL. Apparently my tmo 7 Pro wont go into EDL mode at all. so at this point, i don't think its possible for me to do this, or, i need a more in depth guide on how this is done. i guess for now i'll have to wait for tmo to push the android 10 update.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
EDL doesn't actually display anything on the screen. You hold Volume Up and Down for 5 seconds and then plug in the USB cable while still holding those buttons down for another 5 seconds. When you connect it and the driver is installed, the MSM tool should show as connected. Are you using the USB cable that came with the phone? Are you plugged into a USB 3.1, 3.0, or 2.0 port? If one doesn't work, try another. I use a USB 3.0 hub I bought from Monoprice that has worked for me for many years of various phones flashing. If I connect it directly to my PC, the rear USB 3 and 2 ports both work fine. Do you have USB Debugging enabled within the Developer Options of the device?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Roach419:
Ok, so im going to try to revisit this again, the Qualcomm drivers has the exclamation point, so uninstall and use cab drivers?

hey can anybody help?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
Can you install Windows 10 using Boot Camp? I believe that is a non-virtual environment and may help with full access to devices if the VM doesn't work.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] :
So I've done that. Got windows installed natively through bootcamp. Got all the files. But when attempting to go into EDL mode and connecting the phone, I'm still getting the "The last USB device you connected has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it" error and nothing shows up in the MSM tool.

not sure what to do at this point. How do you install the L2 drivers? there's no guide for that, that i've found.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] :
Update: we have SUCCESS :D Am now on the international firmware. Thank you to everyone who helped me figure this out!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] sparky4017:
Done less than 5 minutes thanks to all already have one up date no 10 yet. I still want to unlock

In developer mode oem unlock is grayed out but very nice
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] xxBrun0xx:
Links in the OP aren't working (the archives it tells you to download). Any help? The Mega links say to enter "decryption key", but OP doesn't say what that is. Any ideas?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Roach419:
I think the only issue i have are the drivers, try to replace Qualcomm drivers, and it says that thats the best driver for it. How do i get the L2 drivers installed?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
Just tested both Mega links, and they decrypt fine using the keys provided.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Roach419:
Ok, so i got a lil farther, but stuck at param preload. Tried to update cab driver file, but it keeps saying the best driver is already on there. I know this is a very simple mistake, just trying to figure out what im doing wrong. Kinda frustrating because ive done lots of flashing before, just not like this
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Remove the driver and delete it. Then install the CAB driver or the L2. Which one will work for you seems to vary by person and system.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Roach419:
Ive removed driver, deleted it, installed cab driver (which took, L2 driver did not) and still same result. Stuck on param preload. I even got one of those Sahara communication errors last night.still no dice....ive been at this for months, while everyone is like ohhhp 5 minutes and done, worked like a charm...i dont understand what is wrong
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Do you have USB Debugging enabled in the Developer Options? Have you tried a different USB port?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Roach419:
I do, and i have tried a few, but not all

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

I dont know if me still being on win 7 changes things. I see alot of people on windows 10.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Have you unchecked the Sha check box before starting the flash? Are you running the MSM Tool as Administrator?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Roach419:
yes i do, every time on both
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Gundabolu SC:
Hey I have a question for people here. Does the T-Mobile version come with a dual SIM? Once converted can we use it as a dual SIM?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
It doesn't come with dual-SIM. You need to buy a dual-SIM tray and have the SIM unlocked before converting to the International firmware, which will then enable dual-SIM.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] RandomPooka:
Also, both SIM cards will be sharing a single hardware ID. I'm not sure if that ends up being a problem in any situation or not, but it's not going to be as if you're using a phone designed to have 2 SIM cards in it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Only when on the same network under certain situations, like where the device IMEI has to be in their system. You can't have two devices on Sprint with the same IMEI as an example.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] futiless:
Silly Canadian here. I thought that I could SIM unlock with these methods. Does this or cellunlocker.net (their "office" is a condo in the same city as me and have plenty of negative reviews. they want 2 weeks and 45 USD. But it would seem that is my only option ?!)

I assume it's just a T-Mobile employee risking their job anyhow.. but does this. actually allow me to use my tmobile handset on a canadian aws provider without sim unlock. Or should I try and return the phone because it is basically going to be garbage off the t mobile network without it being sim unlocked?

I guess another question would be can it ever be unlocked without the original Tmobile sim card that I guess should have been in the box.

It's just new to me that a phone could be locked in this hardened fashion and I find it shocking that OnePlus provided it. This is the phone that was supposed to replace my s4 I have been using for about a year TRUST me I am really anxious now..ha with waiting periods like 40 days and, 15 with no guarantee at the end?! Ouch..

So I am going to have to fight for a refund or is there steps I can try, places I can go, Tmobile people I can pay etc. Thanks
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
If you purchased it outright from a T-Mobile store, you should have asked for the device to be unlocked before leaving the store. T-Mobile has a buyers remorse policy but that might only apply to customers. Returning a device usually has a restocking fee.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] truckerdewd:
You have to be sim unlocked before converting to international in order to OEM unlock.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] robertelam83:
My T-Mobile 7 pro is Carrier unlocked. Does the bootloader have to be unlocked to convert to international version with this method
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] smallsmx301:
Nope. All you need is to be sim unlocked
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] robertelam83:
Yeah I read through some more replies. Thanks for the fast response. These devs are amazing
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] robertelam83:
Ok so I downloaded all the files. When I try to open the MSM tool it says “packed image does not exist”

A little more info.

I'm using a 64bit Acer, window's 7 home

Sim unlocked GM 1915 and OOS 9.5.11

CMD and fastboot recognizes my device. I can transfer files etc.

Downloaded all files and extracted them to one folder (so there's the Guacamole folder, L2 driver folder and the MSM download tool)

Tried to run MSM as administrator and get the above message.

EDIT..... I figured it out was 100% user error. If anyone else has the same issue.. when I extracted the files I just left the contents in their folders.. I had to open each folder and move the contents to 1 folder and add the MSM tool and BOOM international variant. Thank you devs I'll be donating
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] futiless:
Since SIM- UNLOCK is critical does anyone know it cellunlocker.net is truly able to unlock this phone without a sim or contract ?!... It seems like it should be impossible and they appear to be the only provider of such unlock. At this point I can still return the phone but I got it for a great deal so I if I had more faith that I could unlock this way I would.

Can anyone vouches for this method ?

Thanks
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Luis Alfonso 93:
Hello, I am sorry to tell you that I could not unlock without the sim, I had to talk to someone from the United States (from a tmobile store), explain my case, that I do not live in the United States and that it was a gift, the first person He said he could not do anything, but I tried again and a very kind woman helped me by activating the chip that came on the cell phone, it took about 2 weeks, then she told me that she could unlock the phone at 4 weeks, but there is a post here in xda that once you have the chip activated, you send the name and number and unlock it the next day, I hope I helped you
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] raivyn:
if i convert my tmobile version to international will it mess up anything?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] xxBrun0xx:
This was a bit of a pain to do, but worked great. Thank you!!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
You lose RCS, but gain more frequent software updates. All data is wiped during the flash. You do not need to be SIM unlocked unless you also want to unlock your bootloader to root.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] robertelam83:
I did it this morning. I was Permanently sim unlocked..I had/have no issues. Wife is fine, calling etc

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------

It it still supposed to be GM1915 after unlocking the bootloader?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
Yep, that will not change because your phone is physically a GM1915 T-Mobile model. But don't worry, you'll still get updates as if it is a global device.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] robertelam83:
Awesome thanks for the quick response

How is the 1915 in regards to att and Verizon?

Which build are you using?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] imna357:
Try updating to the beta 3 Android Q, using the updater, after that toggle oem unlock, don't worry if no signal, make sure your near Wi-Fi, after toggling fastboot then oem unlock, works on mine, 3 days ago, now bootloader unlock but not sim unlock. Then download the official Q or try any other ROMS
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] aoaleman:
Hi all! New to OP phones! Can someone help? I have tried twice with the MSM tool. I am SIM unlocked, and I do have OEM unlocking enabled in Dev Options. But when I go back to the bootloader, says to flash unlock token first. The phone is on 9.5.5.GM31CB, even after this tool/package. Any help is appreciated!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
You can request the unlock token from OnePlus for the T-Mobile firmware or flash to the International firmware and not need the token to unlock the bootloader.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] aoaleman:
Thank you. My apologies, I thought this thread is for flashing to the International firmware because that's what I'm trying to do. :confused:

Edit: looks like the firmwares are different versions, the version on MEGA vs the version on AFH. Downloading the AFH version, then going to try that.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
This is the discussion thread. The flash thread is T-Mobile to International.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] RoxAbout:
From TMOnews:

"T-Mobile is now pushing an update to its OnePlus 7 Pro. The 312.2MB update is OxygenOS 9.5.11.GM31CB, and it includes the September 2019 Android security patches."

With the new update coming out , or in my case waiting for me to install it.

Will it prevent using the method in this thread to root and change to int. os.?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] aoaleman:
This is the discussion thread with the files needed to flash TO international, right? Looks like the firmwares are different versions, the version on MEGA vs the version on AFH. Downloading the AFH version, then going to try that.

EDIT: FINALLY GOT IT! Thank you all, it was all my fault not arranging the downloaded files right. Thank you!!!!!!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] robertelam83:
Once converted to the Global version can i use the OnePlus Global MSM tool to unbrick? Or do I need to follow this method each time?

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

I did the same thing ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] cop982002:
How did you get it? Are they different files from the MEGA?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] aoaleman:
There are two mega links. Combine the files from those two into one folder.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] robertelam83:
Once I've converted to the Global version can I use the regular Global MSM tool? Or do I need to use this method every time.

Rooted, stable 9.5.13
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] aoaleman:
Sorry I'm not sure, haven't gotten that far. Waiting on my unlock code file from OnePlus. But I'd assume you'd want to use TWRP or yes the global MSM tool.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] robertelam83:
If you're sim unlocked you don't need to wait for the unlock key from T-Mobile. I already converted to the Global version without an unlock key and rooted
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] aoaleman:
I did that initially but ran into problems. I figured if I have the BL unlocked the right way I might have less problems. Lol maybe .
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] robertelam83:
I didn't run into any problems at all till updating to Magisk 20 which has nothing to do with the conversion. MSM went great. Unlocked BL and rooted and all had been 100% ? but of course do what you feel is best.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] aoaleman:
Hmm, thanks! You're making me want to mod it. Lol
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Roach419:

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Roach419:
Or could someone maybe message me who has done this, so i dont keep blowing up this thread? I dont know if im not doing the drivers right or something
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] robertelam83:
Does anyone know if once the T-Mobile 7 PRO has been converted to the Global variant using the MSM tool method can I start using the Global MSM tool if I say need to unbrick? Or will I always have to use this method?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] RandomPooka:
I would suggest using this tool, not the global. I also haven't had any reason to debrick with an msmtool, though. I've been able to fastboot flash or TWRP flash my way out of the dumbest situations
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] robertelam83:
Ok thanks for the response ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
You can use either MSM Tool to unbrick. The hardware is the same between the two so either will work, just like you flash from one firmware to another.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] robertelam83:
Very cool. I assumed that I would be able to just use the Gkobal MSM tool since it is converted. But wanted to be sure. Thanks
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] _Infamous_:
Can TMobile update to Android 10 after doing this process I see that I can download the Android 10 update with oxygen updater but don't want to flash it and brick.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Eliminater74:
Wow its been a while since I been on here, Just thought I would stop by and do a bit of reading and catching up.

I pretty much retired from the Dev work, at least for now, maybe one day ill start up again. Anyhow,

glad to see everything is going good here.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] RandomPooka:
I'm using a T-Mobile op7p, converted to global, and running the 10.0.21AA OOS with no problems. The official release doesn't have the same issues with T-Mobile that the beta did. Works fine.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
Unlocking the bootloader and then converting with MSM will lock the bootloader again, since this is essentially an unbrick tool meant to restore the phone to OOB condition. So basically, don't bother waiting for the token if you are SIM unlocked.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] _Infamous_:
Thanks I just flashes it but have no data crap
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] raivyn:
What is RCS

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

I have a TMobile version of one plus 7 pro and the oxygen updater said that TMobile wasn't supported
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] _Infamous_:
I flashed the international software on my 7 pro.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
RCS is enhanced text messaging. Larger pictures, videos, typing indicators, etc.

The T-Mobile version of the device is supported after converting to global firmware using the links in this thread. You cannot use it prior because TMO removes the ability to do a local install as needed for the app to work.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] RoxAbout:
Doh!

I knew I wasn’t crazy!

So I’m going to guess the option re-appears after you flash the new global firmware?

Thanks

:good:
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] syntropic:
Quick question. I'm running OOS 9.5.13.GM21AA (after converting using MSM tool and then updating).

I want to now update to the stable OOS 10.00.01 global (which is GM21AA as well, correct?). Also plan on flashing the TWRP for Q installer, and since it's now stable, flash the latest Magisk v20 as well.

I know the mild headaches involved.. but can I do it from my phone by flashing the OOS ROM using the local upgrade/update? I know I then have to flash TWRP through Magisk, then flash Magisk again.

My real question is that I've read that flashing the non-incremental upgrade wipes the data partition, but does it wipe storage as well?

If so, I'll obviously have to do it through ADB using my laptop.

Thanks very much in advance.

NB: Also, is the download for 10.00.01 global in the OnePlus forum the full update? I know an OTA won't work, so I wanted to double check.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
As long as you're on global firmware, you will have the Local Upgrade option.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
If you are already bootloader unlocked, then you can update from 9.5.13 to 10.0.1 without wiping data. The only time a OOS file forces a data wipe is when you downgrade from 10 to 9, or if you switch from Beta to Release.

If you have root access through Magisk already, then you can update and keep root using a specific set of steps, and then after you are on 10.0.1 w/ root, flash TWRP without needing ADB or a laptop as well.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Brad Thornhill:
Could someone please help with "adb" mode instructions. The drivers are not being recognized by my computer and nor will it let install the drivers like mentioned.
