Help!!!

When I turn my phone off completely and plug it into my computer it says device not recognized and doesn't connect to the tool. I have the drivers installed. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thanks.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Step 3 from the first post:

3) Hold both volume buttons for 5 seconds then plug in the USB cable. OR In ADB type "adb reboot edl".

fastboot reboot edl will also work.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Larryk54:
Still doesn't work. When I plug my USB cable in it says device not recognized on my pc screen and it doesn't connect to the msm tool.

I flashed mine from T-Mobile to international, I bought a dual SIM tray and am using T-Mobile and H2o. I am very happy, no problems at all. Unrooted for what it's worth
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Did you install the L2 or Microsoft CAB file driver while the device is in EDL mode?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Some_Random_Username:
Hey, I believe you would need to use 5G MSM tool.

Problem is it hasn't been leaked as of now so you would need to contact OnePlus support and explain them your situation.

If they agree on a remote session, they will send you by email a link containing an msm tool package -which will be protected by a password L2 technician will input during remote session-.

I would advise that you keylog the password being inputted so that you could redownload package after the session and then share it decrypted here on forums.

Also, last little thing, your query will better fit for Q&A part of this device forum as we're currently hijacking this thread.

I see someone before me said this process does not work for GM1915, or at least if you are still on Oxygen OS 9.5.9.GM31CB, But there is no newer ver for tmobile gm1915.

I am saying so because I did everything: installed l2 drivers, got com and connected in msm, hit start very fast, but 1000 seconds in, nothing changes. phone is stone cold as well meanwhile. Disconnected and booted phone normally. Nothing started or change in the 1st place. No idea how to proceed :confused:

This happened to me also. I reinstalled all drivers (OP, Qualcomm, CAB) and rebooted. Also had to start it from the hardware keys instead of ADB. Worked fine after that.

silly question

I have the phone with sim locked, if I use this method, can I use my cell phone with other carriers? or what can i do?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] nikolai.b:
Thank you. Sold my phone. Sick of hours and hours trying to do the undoable for GM1915 9.5.9. Not worth it for single sim only. Duals are more expensive, because of that fact I will buy s10 5g instead. Same single sim, no better no worse. Personal choices. :eek:

So, I just got my OnePlus 7 Pro, unboxed it, plugged it into my PC to perform this conversion, rebooted the phone.. and now every time I reboot my phone, this happens:

Does this not allow me to select OEM unlocking on my T-Mobile variant like it did for the OP6T?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Only if your device is SIM unlocked. If you want to enable OEM Unlocking, you need to flash to the Q DP3 firmware if you want to unlock the bootloader while SIM locked.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] mobbdeep:
After I flash Q DP3 firmware, can I flash any OOS Pie firmware?

Yes. The bootloader will not relock unless you relock it.

Struggling to understand the need of the last part. /hot of the press/ if I don't do that will I not get updates??

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

I mean future proofing the update part.

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

So I did all steps except for the part where it says Future proofing. I need to be able to use my phone with workprofile so don't want to unlock the bootloader etc

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

So I don't need to unlock the booatloader because of the work profile etc. I just want to use international rom and get automatically updates. I already got one. So Confirming. Not Future proofing will still get me updates for stock without unlock right

Have about the same question i don't need root or anything like that i just need international OS will i be fine just getting OTA updates or is there still a steep i need to take so it all works?

So i bought used op7 pro and guy swore wasnt tmobile but international.. after running imei checkers it shows model gm1915 (tmobile) but issue is i bought it already rooted running lineage.. after many headaches was able to get havoc running smoothly.. question- i want to test stock oos since never owned op phones just samsung.. would it be safe to follow this guide to get back to stock intl oos even if dude somehow wasnt lying about being tmobile? Cant verify what originally was since already running aosp base rom but believe it was since imei check shows gm1915.. further also tried msmtools for at least 1917 and 1911 and both failed saying image didnt match

thx guys
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
In Settings, About Phone, it will tell you the model number which doesn't change, even if you flash a different firmware. If that says it's a GM1915, then it is a T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro. The IMEI for both SIM slots will be the same. The device doesn't come with a proper usable dual-SIM tray but they are cheap enough on Ebay and other sites.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] bailey2408:
Thought same thing.. but promise its not showing in about phone.. however imei is the same for both slots and only single sim tray.. leads me to believe its tmobile.. so would it be safe to just use this modded msm tool to get me back to stock intl rom.. no interest in going to tmobile stock
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] strictlyphat:
Someone screwed me like this also. I got them to give me a partial refund for the issue and they paid for the dual SIM tray for me.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
You are fine to flash it to the GM21AA firmware. The hardware is exactly the same for every model other than the 5G model sold by EE, which contains a X50 5G modem.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
You're welcome. Pretty new to me also, since T-Mobile agreed to unlock my phone due to some issues that don't seem to be happening on 9.5.11, and this was my first experience with flashing TWRP on an A/B device. I did not root though, since I have a lot of apps that like to sniff it out.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] kamots:
I'm confused ... At the part that it says *TMobile update*, and takes you to another thread, is that software used to go from stock TMobile GM 1915 to international ? Or to get back from international to stock TMobile? It's also a guacamole firmware.. This is my last hurdle. I don't want to flash TMobile stock if I'm already on it . Make sense?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
This thread has the firmware to get you on international. The other one will put you back on T-Mobile firmware.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] bryanpen:
someone, anyone help me out.

so i got all the files set up correctly (i think). the msm tool wont open at all, even though it will say its running. no matter what i try the tool will not show on the screen at all. funny thing is if i take the ops file out it will recognize that its not there and show message. i put file back in and nothing happens again. i can click it 2 or 3 times and will say its running but it actually is not running at all. has anyone faced this issue? how can i fix this? i need help.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Do you have the device in EDL mode? It will reboot if you don't connect and start the flash within 15 seconds.

I had it in edl but tool won't open at all. It should open when clicked but doesn't. Tool doesn't show on screen at all. Don't know what could be wrong. Can really use some help with this. Does anyone here know what can be done to get the tool to open?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Right click it and run it as Administrator.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] bryanpen:
That does not work. It's the same. Does the same thing. Just doesn't start no matter how many times I click to run the tool.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Redownload the tool, disable your anti-virus, and extract it. If that works, then it is your anti-virus preventing it from running. The tool will start regardless of whether or not you have the drivers installed. Mac OS and boot camp installs might not work, because Apple products don't play nice with Android phone tools.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] bryanpen:
You have a link for the tool?

You are correct. Although there are several ways to wind up with a bad ESN, we err on the side of caution and assume it's either stolen or reported as unpaid balance by the carrier.

Thanks!! Witrigs doesn't have Dual SIM tray... do you mind sharing the link.. ? I am still perplexed if the dual SIM tray will fit in single sim slot.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jcsww:
It does fit perfectly. When I ordered mine, they only had the Mirror Gray, which is the color I got.

Edit: The dual-SIM tray is a back to back configuration. If you look at your single SIM tray, there is a piece of plastic through the SIM 2 tray. On the OEM one from Witrigs, it does not have the extra plastic in the second slot, allowing for dual-SIM back to back.

You can unlock the bootloader without SIM unlocking by using the current Q beta. However you won't be able to use a SIM from a different carrier without being unlocked.

Stuck on param preload

This looks cool. But once connected the app just sits at "Param Preload." I have tried what was stated near the beginning of the OP. My phone OS version is 9.5.9 from TM. I installed the drivers from the phone and also asked for a temp unlock from TM.

Am I missing something or my timing? I have the install app and the ops in the same folder.

Worked amazingly. Followed the instructions and it worked. :good:

This TMO was temp SIM unlocked and i was using on vzw. (:fingers-crossed: i was a little nervous:fingers-crossed: ). And the bootloader was locked also. SO super nervous but went ahead with it. :fingers-crossed:

It worked for me by follow the instructions. I also made sure to have the drivers intalled. ( i got them off the phone by just plugging it in - File transfer - and click on the install found on the CD Icon )

After i signed in there was an update that fixed the issues i was having while using my vzw carrier. seems that the TMO havent sent out that patch.

Much respect to all the Devs that worked on this and made a ton of people happy. Donations will be headed that way.

After I requested the unlock.token, this pops up, which is sweet either way!

The conversion went through without a hitch, but I did run into an issue of no WiFi when trying to root, flashed the patched boot images, and just lost WiFi, NOT related to this but be careful.

Used the MSM tool again and it's back again, going to leave root alone for now, don't think I need it either way.

Much appreciated.

For anyone having issues with EDL rebooting too fast you need to have your finger on the Start button in MSM.

The second you enter EDL the MSM tool will show Connected, hit Start.

This phone only stays in EDL for 5 seconds before rebooting unless you send a command from MSM.

A temp unlock won't allow you to unlock the bootloader unless you flash the Q Developer Preview 3. You will not be able to use another carriers SIM with the second SIM slot without a permanent unlock.

Try installing the Microsoft CAB driver instead of the L2.

If all I need is International FW, do I need to Unlock OEM and Unlock the bootloader ?
