Unlock info

Sorry to be this dumb but is it possible to check if the OnePlus 5g sprint phone is carrier unlocked without having the phone already and how?

A seller on eBay is advertising one as unlocked and specifies sprint as the initial carrier but I'd like to make sure it is before having it as I'll likely have to pay some tax when I collect it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
They can put a different carrier SIM in it to show it is SIM unlocked from Sprint.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Whoareyou:
The system updates screen will show if it's unlocked or not under "UICC Unlock"

Also, to get the other carrier to work, you need to run the msmtool in upgrade mode, and check "remove carrier" or it won't pick up the other carrier.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] leelium:
Thanks both.

The advert on the eBay page mentions it is sprint but unlocked or GSM unlocked.

I don't need to root the phone, but I'd like to know if, in the eventuality that it is not unlocked, I can possibly unlock it via support?

Hello

Can you flash it like the t-mobile version?

Flash the ee/uk firmware to sprint 5g oneplus 7 pro.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Whoareyou:
I was able to flash the EE firmware, but needed to flash the Sprint modem to receive signal, and it didn't report right in 'About Phone'.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Strawboy:
A couple of things;

1, Whoareyou, can I get a PM from you about the details you are sharing with other members privately?

2. Am I okay to run all the system updates that I get on my Sprint phone? I know in the past sometimes when an unlock method was discovered it would only work on a previous version of the software and not the newest update.

Thanks,
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] hoho9043:
It sounds great. In case the oem unlock is grey out.

We can flash twrp and flash the modem, right?

Is that possible?

I purchased a Oneplus 7 pro 5g formally sprint but sold unlocked. I have read all pages of this thread just now. My phone says unlocked under UICC but fails to update any of the options on that page ie; update pro ,update profile . Device is on android 9. Software version 9.5.16.GM25CC. Contacted the seller and they are of no help. Im currently on ATT but am switching to Visible. I am not concerned about having 5g work as visible doesn't currently use that technology. I really just want to have the latest android and security protocols on my one plus 7 pro 5g GM1925. I have reached out to Oneplus about this just now and will wait for a response. This is my first One Plus phone I've owned and has been all Samsung for previous 7 years. Its great there is a discussion but a lot of this is above my head in regards to msmtools etc mentioned throughout thread. Anyhow any advice or tips are greatly appreciated. I may be returning the phone if its always going to be months and months behind OS updates.

Tick "erase carrier"

Click start

Plug in usb

Boot EDL mode

Wait for flash to finish

Reboot with At&t/Visible SIM inserted

Input the required APNs for your carrier
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] benjmiester:
Thanks a million man! I just bought one of those same ones off Ebay now that I know this is do-able. Anybody know if OTA updates still flash ok? I'm not entirely oppposed to flashing manually, or ROMs if

I have to to have this phone for a mere $400. Also anyone using on at&t based reseller? This could be some extra fun but it's worked out of the box on any at&t phone and with just an APN on my Red Magic 3.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Whoareyou:
Yeah otas are fine, this just reflahses the stock firmware and removes the Sprint branding until a Sprint SIM is inserted.

thank you much.

I cannot get the program to do anything on Mac machine.

Having to use wine bottler to run guacamole.

Doesn't show anything that would indicate its working.

Looks like ill be stuck with whatever firmware and OS is on the phone indefinitely.

Im more than likely going to be returning the phone ,which is a shame really.

Beautiful piece of hardware but fails to update because the BS locks Sprint puts on their phones.

Also not sure what EDL mode is

Not sure how id find out carrier APN.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Whoareyou:
Yeah you need to use Windows, and install the 9008 mode drive from Windows Update, just boot up windows on a separate partition, also, almost all manufacturers repair tools are Windows, not Mac ?

Don't except crApple support from Android manufacturers and then get pissed when it doesn't exist ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] coromd:
I did this on my Sprint 7 Pro 5G (which I think is from the same eBay seller as the other guy LOL, the seller is absolutely refusing to communicate about cancelling a misorder) and it has removed the carrier branding but the junk Sprint apps (Carrier Hub, Caller ID, Carrier Device manager, various other com.sprint.xxx apps) are still there after reset. Any tips? Edit: ah **** I forgot I can just remove em with adb. Disregard.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] benjmiester:
Just curious what network you're on, and how it's running for you? I just got mine today from Ebay seller YY Wireless (the one that's selling tons of them as "refurbished working tmobil at&t" etc. Mine did look pristine so no complaints there. I decided to try it as-is and after having my Red Pocket Mobile GSM-A (At&t network) it is running fine already as-is. I of course had to switch to my reseller APN but it was already there and filled out. Was on H+ and after reboot, it's running on LTE so I'm happy.

I'm actually wondering if I should run that Guac tool or just leave it as it is. I'm scared I might screw it up and have the seller ignore me. Filing a complaint with Paypal always forces a refund for me when I'm the seller no matter what the customer did. So you can try that if you need to in the future.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Whoareyou:
You can't convert the 5G thus far.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] coromd:
Works perfectly fine for me on AT&T before and after flashing with Guac. Hell it probably works a bit better now, previously I couldn't get RCS to work but after flashing it it worked instantly. Plus no Sprint branding all over the place though there are still a handful of com.sprint apps that need to be uninstalled via adb.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] NOSudo-Vitali:
So just to clear my mind if I do the same thing as you two are speaking about ie using the tool and and use my let's say my Google fi SIM card or hell I think my work phone is att, it would release it from Sprint until I put the Sprint SIM back in?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Flashing will not remove the SIM lock. Just bloatware from Sprint.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Whoareyou:
Only if you've already unlocked the Sim slot officially via Sprint (in settings>system update under 'UICC Unlock' it should say 'Your device is unlocked'
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] NOSudo-Vitali:

That's the seller and it's working perfectly fine. I was annoyed by all the Sprint branding but after running the Guac tool it's working great on AT&T. RCS and VoLTE are working as well while they were not with the stock ROM.

Edit: I'm dumb and double replied days later. Sorry.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] benjmiester:

[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Whoareyou:
You can only unlock the SIM via Sprint customer service.

If it's already unlocked and not recognizing the SIM, read a few posts back, you'll need to flash the stock firmware and click "erase carrier"

Is there any way to get volte and vowifi to work with Cricket Wireless(at&t), called to have them provision the phone but they told to get in contact with the manufacturer for this, I've tried the logkit and have enabled it but I have yet to get the switches in settings to get it activated
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Whoareyou:
Perhaps, with bootloader unlock and the European (unlocked) software, maybe, you'd still need to flash the Sprint modem to get signal,

I also have a friend who is working on AOSP (PE10) for the GM1925, which should have VoLTE for all carriers that the normal 7 Pro would.

BTW, non-mail in bootloader unlock is coming soon.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
Just get in touch with OnePlus support saying you got some issue like phone rebooting by itself when you try to turn it on and they should arrange a remote session.

There will be a link to MSM tool package in the confirmation email and L2 technician will input the password once you will be connected to him (so try to get a keylogger as well so that it can be reused later on).

Be however aware that MSM tool will wipe all your data so take backups beforehand.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jthein1989:
That is an excellent idea! I had no idea they did that!

I got in touch with Sprint support and the guy tried for 30 mins but could not enable the option and told me to connect with one plus support to get it enabled. Will try to connect with them today.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Philosophy757:
I'm on with them now. Will update shortly.

Okay, so basically I told them what you listed above. Contacted Sprint to get OEM unlock and they suggested I contact OnePlus Support directly. He then asked me if the phone was paid in full. I told him it is on payments and I am trying to have it unlocked so that I can flash custom roms on the phone and the following is the response that I received:

Malcom, we will have to escalate the case to our team and we will get back to you in 24-48 hours with the best possible answer.

So I will follow up when I get their email.

*Followed up with them today and received the following:

Malocm, I could see that the case is already escalated and we are waiting for a response, I kindly request you to wait for another 24 hours as the time frame given was 24-48 hours.

I jumped the gun as I thought it was a 24 hour follow up.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JWnSC:
Do we have a stock Sprint rom for this phone? I have the phone on order. I'm willing to flash some stuff to try and get root. I'm guessing we can flash the international rom, enable oem unlock, unlock bl, flash recovery, from recovery flash the dumped sprint stock rom ( need to figure out the best way to do this..) just brainstorming.. But it might work. I'll give it a go after about a week with the phone. I'm new to the one+ devices. Need to get somewhat familiar with it before flashing anything.

I'm with you there. Willing to help test if we have any amazing devs out there that could help us out.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] deepak02093:
I was thinking of flashing European 5g rom which has this option enabled but in update there is no option of local upgrade :confused: . I will see if i can somehow flash it through fastboot.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Philosophy757:
Didn't hear anything from OnePlus today. Will try and get in touch with them tomorrow. At least they SEEM like they are trying to do something instead of an out right no. Also willing to test anything as well to help build the community for the device. I know a lot of people hate on Sprint but I personally have no problem with them and look forward to the 5G rollout with the merger.

*Reached out to OnePlus support today and they are still waiting to hear back from Sprint. I have a feeling that Sprint will not budge on the issue but we will see.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JWnSC:
Sprint pissed me off for the last time. They wouldn't let me activate my phone under the current plan so switching to TMobile.. They tried to charge me for premium plan because the phone is 5g, but no 5g in my area.

Good luck, i hope you Sprint guys get bootloader unlocked.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ohnoeskurtis:
I've been using my phone for 3 weeks now. When I ordered it online through the chat with a csr I asked about having to change my plan thinking I'd need to like when 4g rolled out. And I did not have to, I'm still on an older unlimited plan from a few years ago. It's closest to their middle tier unlimited plan they have now. And activating it when I got it was the most easiest and painless experience yet for me.

I'm holding off from upgrading to the premium plan to see if root access can be gained for the hotspot. The 50gb doesn't go very far these days. I was able to connect it to my TV with the USB C to HDMI cables I had for my LG V30+ So that was pretty awesome to see work.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] agentfusion:
Yikes. 50gb? If my carrier told me I can only use 50gb in hotspot mode, I'd cancel and tell them where to stick their 50gb. T-Mobile gives me unlimited data + unlimited hotspot. The only place my data is limited is my tablet but that's only because it's a 5th line and doesn't count as part of my 4 lines of unlimited everything, so when its 5gb runs out, I turn off mobile data and put my OnePlus 7 Pro in hotspot mode and let my tablet leech data from my phone.

I use a tablet and a laptop on my hotspot when I'm away from home so 50gb would be gone in like 2 days, with 26-29 days left in the month with no data. I couldn't handle that. I've got way too much stuff to do on the average day to be without internet access (irony mode: a lot of it is writing articles and giving webinars on bushcraft and minimalist survival, teaching people how to survive indefinitely with little more than a pocket folding saw and a $15 knife)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JWnSC:
Yeah, i was pretty ticked off. Been a Sprint user for a long time. Was paying 80$ a month for 2 phones unlimited everything. With the premium plan it would have been 80$ for just one phone with useless stuff i wouldn't use. Tried to activate service from phone, didn't work. I called the Sprint cancellation department to see if they could help but they wouldn't budge. The guy on the phone recommended i turn the one plus in and get a note 10 plus instead so I'd keep my existing plan. After using the phone for a bit i couldn't do that. I figured if i had to pay more anyways, why be locked down? So, i switched my main phone to T-Mobile and ordered a one plus from them. Wife is still with Sprint but won't be after the end of this month
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kapitalk:
T-Mobiles hotspot plan is in the past with max 3G speeds on the standard T-Mobile ONE plan. Sprint is 50gb of 4G then gets throttled down. T-Mobile you can upgrade to a max of 20gb of 4G. Sprint supports up to 100gb of 4G. This is based off of current plans. Unless you're on some special grandfathered plan, Sprint has the better hotspot plan... Service itself on the other hand is a different story, depending where you live.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
So on the T-Mobile version of the 6T and 7 Pro, to enable OEM unlock you have to get a SIM unlock from T-Mobile. After getting the sim unlock you have to apply for a bootloader unlock code from OnePlus. More than likely this is the same situation thru Sprint. Someone is going to have to ask a Sprint CSR for a SIM unlock. Here are the instructions for the 6T, which is also the exact same for the 7 Pro.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] NOSudo-Vitali:
I'm going to have to look into this further than I thought I'm a little disappointed I didn't see this when I got the phone 3 days ago. If anybody needs a test subject let me know what I can do to help. this phone will be being returned before the 30 days is up if we cant get it unlocked...will be switching to either T-Mobile or buying the phone outright from OnePlus I'm not sure if I can do that by the end of the 30 days but that would be ideal.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] agentfusion:
Not sure if it's because I'm not using a stock ROM or what, but my download speed while using hotspot mode is 23.62Mbps (though upload is a pretty garbage 8.39Mbps) and I'm definably not on any older plan. Switched from Sprint because after several attempts to get the bill down with them, it was still too high so I switched to a 4-line T-Mobile ONE plan about 2 years ago. Don't know if it's the ROM or switching my hotspot to 5GHz, but the lowest I've seen it go is around 2Mbps at peak times in a heavily populated area when I've already used 200GB or more for the month, that's when they will throttle me in favor of subscribers with limited plans, or low data usage. Which is fine, seems only fair to me.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mlaws90:
Following this....But I'll probably end up just waiting till my contract is up so I can get away from Sprint.

T-Mobile sounds good by the comments here - arent they merging, how will that work?

They had to refund over $400 they ****ed up the bill so bad, and my account still lists devices I don't have anymore.

So well see, I may go for a Pixel 4. OnePlus also has the 7T and 7T Pro coming. If I wanted something I couldn't mod the Razer Phone 2 is only $400 right now lol, not my style, but it has the specs.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Philosophy757:
Getting Sprint to do that on a phone that you are making payments on will be tough. My GalaxyS8 didn't SIM Unlock til I paid it off.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JWnSC:
With the my LG v30 you could dump the stock rom using lg up dev. From there use dd commands while in recovery to flash the Sprint stuff back after converting to unlocked firmware. Not sure if one plus has a program similar to that.. But definitely need a Sprint rom dump first

If someone could get sim unlocked it would help. From there should be able to enable oem unlock,unlock bootloader, root, twrp and backup the stock rom.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:

Right, I'll edit my post. European 5g firmware would be closer. Still need a sprint stock firmware to fall back on..
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] deepak02093:
I tried installing European 5g version Rom but failed as bootloader is locked. Bootloader doesn't even support the unlock command, it is not there in list of available fastboot commands. If somehow we can get the local update option enabled under system update it might work. If anyone have any ideas i am open to try.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jthein1989:
If we could get our hands on the MSMDownloader for the European 5G we would probably have better luck with that.
