So what you guys are saying is that oneplus 7 pro users using sprint can't mod their phones? They also will probably be 2 months behind on Android 10.0 upgrade? I just got this beautiful app phone 2 days ago but have very slow download speeds at work. I heard the update to Android 10.0 fixes this but if it's going to be months before I can update, I will have to return this phone and wait for the pixel 4.

My brother is a manager at sprint. What exactly do you guys need? I'll see if he can help out.

If he has any pull with the big guys, maybe he can find out if there is a way we can get the bootloader unlocked..that would be awesome..

I second this. phones should be un-lockable
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jthein1989:
After going round and round with OnePlus I was informed after 2 weeks that not even they have the MSMDownload tool for our devices. I informed them that NOT having the files to repair the devices they produce is unacceptable.

Honestly, It is probably a condition of the Sprint's OnePlus Terms that they not have access to the program/ops for remote sessions. So, unless somebody from Sprint can get there hands on the Program, we won't even have an unbrick option.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] NOSudo-Vitali:
Im going to try in the morning explaining i need this or i have to pull my phones. Tell them i travel international for work and not being able to pop another sim in will make their phones obsolete to myself personally and any work lines they are servicing. "Verizon never gave me these issues." goes along way with them.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Flipstr7:
Results vary.

Worst: 3mbps download / 0.9mbps upload

Good case Average: 45mbps download. / 12mbps upload .

Best: 140mbps download / 18mbps upload . -> I have noticed that only near Sprint Stores (or inside) I can get his kind of speeds.

Update: Got the dual SIM tray, SIM 2 is not working..... Thinking about what to do with this phone, is quite nice, but no dual sim functionality for me is a killer.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Aoe316:
Are your download speeds slower than normal? I seem to be throttled at 70kbs a lot of the times unless I turn on my Hotspot. That seems to fix my slow internet connection

Did you get this to work?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] goldswimmerb:
Where are you located?

I've noticed sprint doing some shady things, like calling Carrier Aggregated 4G LTE on the 2.5G band 5G in several cases.

My average speeds, while on 5G have been around 125MBPS down / 15UP

and my best was 450MBPS Down/20UP at a random intersection near my home.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jld2k6:
The T-Mobile method of installing the Android 10 developers preview 3 update used an international stock ROM. You also have to keep the international ROM to keep your bootloader unlocked on it because going back to carrier stock firmware via MMS tools relocks the bootloader. I have run into no issues after a month of using this method and being on international ROM while being on T-Mobile so far. I would imagine the same thing would be fine on Sprint. Worst case scenario you can flash your phone back to stock
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] drunkpitbull:
Thanks for the response. I actually returned the phone to Sprint and dropped them almost immediately after paying for the phone in full and receiving a locked phone. I'm on T-Mobile now. I bought the phone directly from OnePlus. I'm on OxygenOS 10 Stable, TWRP with working encryption, a bunch of systemless mods, magisk, custom kernel, and Google Pay even works.

I honestly could not be happier. Haven't had any issues with unlocking, firmware updates, or anything. Everything just works. This is the most root friendly phone I've ever owned. I almost didn't leave Sprint because we had four phone lines and it was a huge hassle... after reading all this though, I'm glad I jumped ship when I did.

However, I feel everyone's pain in here. Keep up the good fight. I wish you all the best!

Has anyone tried using the T-Mobile conversion to intl method.....using the patched MSM tool?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] NOSudo-Vitali:
Hopefully ill hear back today. Ill call them again this afternoon see whats going on.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Philosophy757:
Contacted OnePlus support again regarding the ticket/issue. They said it's been escalated to T2 and 24-48 hour feedback time.....
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jthein1989:
This will brick the modem on our phones because it is different from the non-5G. We need the MSM for international 5G. And without the Sprint 5G MSM, you risk a brick without recourse other than RMA.

---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

Good luck. They told me they didn't have the files available to them. Which I found absolutely absurd, and voiced in a strongly worded message to their technical support.

Sprint is worse than T-Mobile at updates..

Life lesson to live by:

If you want to unlock bootloader & root, don't buy phone from carrier. Buy directly from manufacturer.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rayraycarter4:
So we're not getting Android 10 anytime soon, I hope someone can find a way to root this thing
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Primal instinct:

[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jthein1989:
Yup. Ridiculous...
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Primal instinct:
I did some digging but the international Op7 rom has the smart 5G feature...sooo????? It still won't work.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jthein1989:
Smart 5G? Who ever heard of this witchcraft???
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Primal instinct:
Smart 5g is a OnePlus feature
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jthein1989:
Why would this impact our ability to use it? Just because it shows a feature ours doesn't. The phones have the same hardware. Sprint could have just taken the feature off their rom.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Guy50570:
It looks like a root leveraging CVE-2019-2215, the new Android kernel bug, has dropped as a PoC. (Can't link it due to my post count but its called qu1ckr00t for anyone that cares)

Any idea if it works on the 7 Pro 5G? I'd be alright with testing if this wasn't my main device and we had a solid

​

way of unbricking...
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jthein1989:
I just looked around. Sprint OP7 5G has this feature too...

[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Guy50570:
Yeah, I mentioned this like, 2 posts up from yours :P

But, in any case, it needs to be updated and compiled to work on the 7 Pro before we can try it from what I understand. Even then though, Magisk was not designed to run without a patched boot image, and there definitely are some problems with it when you install it like this. I mean, it's definitely a thing to look at, but honestly I don't see it as a solution we'd want.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jthein1989:
Unfortunately, the OP7 Pro 5G (at least the Sprint version) has the updated (patched) kernel. So this is a non-starter.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Sevenz:
Is this phone hopeless regarding this matter? It doesn't seem like anyone managed to break through the issue yet :/

Security Patch

June 1, 2019

And the option to unlock the bootloader was still grayed out.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
That should work the same way. Get the SIM unlocked, then request the bootloader unlock token through OnePlus, just like those who want to stick to the T-Mobile firmware need to do. If you flash any of the 5G models to the global firmware, the device loses 5G connectivity until it is returned to the correct 5G firmware, which contains the necessary firmware to run the X50 5G modem.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jthein1989:
Where did you get this information?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
That depends on the carrier. I haven't used Sprint's VoLTE or WiFi Calling so I can't say one way or another.

It's the same hardware as the GM1920. Check the GM1920 thread to read more about cross-flashing the 5G version. You gain dual-SIM but lose 5G because the other firmwares do not contain the firmware for the 5G radio, which is a separate radio.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jthein1989:
Have you yourself seen evidence of somebody flashing a Sprint variant with global firmware? Did anybody gain bootloader permissions?

Edit: And could you please link to the thread you are referring to. I searched and did not find a GM1920 thread.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
No, but it's the same hardware, so it should work the same. I don't think there is a firmware image available to use with MSM Tool to flash back to the Sprint firmware as of yet though. Hopefully soon, so it can be tried. For all carrier locked OnePlus 7 Pro devices, to unlock the bootloader while remaining on that firmware is the same. If you keep the T-Mobile firmware for example, you need to request the bootloader unlock token through OnePlus after you have your device SIM unlocked. The same applies to the EE sold version. Why would it differ for Sprint, especially with the FCC and FTC signing off on the merger? Once the stupid lawsuits from states that don't understand competition are dismissed, the merger will proceed.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] TheGunMillar:
Edit
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
All of the hardware is the same, except for the addition of the X50 5G modem. Everything should work the same outside of the band selection slightly changing from the GM1920 to the GM1917 bands. Just make sure you have the full image for the MSM Tool to flash back first and back up your device. Flashing will wipe your device unless you use TWRP, which can create a whole other mess of issues.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Philosophy757:
That's the thing. We need the image and the MSM tool for the device. I'll guinea pig mine as well if we had that.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Guy50570:
Easier said than done, iirc someone on this thread tried gaining it but neither OnePlus *or* Sprint had the MSM tool for the Sprint 5G variant, which is slightly fishy to me...
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
Well technically OnePlus have as they use it to flash bulk devices they just don't want to share it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Guy50570:
Yeah kinda what I meant about the slightly fishy bit :p

Maybe someone else can try again, see if they get someone to hand it over. Worth a shot.

Uploading to Drive now... Waiting for AFH Dev access to upload. I figured out the LG G6 UnBrick, so I can put those files on there as well.

I also pulled all the partitions from my OP7. If another dev would like to help me out, we could have a path to an unlocked bootloader here.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] AZbro97:
I'm very interested in unlocking my Sprint OnePlus 7 Pro. I wanted this phone very badly and Sprint was the only way to get it. Was very sad when I realized stuff like not being hackable and not getting updates on time. Glad to see that progress is being made!

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

I feel like we also should be looking into EDL for a potential bootloader unlock. Since EDL is ran and implemented by PBL, which is ROM. If we find a way to unlock through that, should be unfixable. Basically we'd just need a way to load/flash a modified boot.img without freaking out the bootloader in theory. I'm not super familiar with Android internals but that seems like a possible way. Fortunately accessing EDL on OnePlus devices is as easy as

fastboot oem edl

or

fastboot edl

, not sure which. Apparently on some devices you need to either buy a EDL cable that can short D+ and GND on the USB port in order to access EDL, or short two test points on the motherboard (Thank you OnePlus :D)

We definitely need the MSM tool for this, so hopefully it gets uploaded sometime soon so we can start looking into this.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jthein1989:
Here it is!!!

Md5:dd324e947e1761b2b8e4974928487098

Enjoy!

The MSMDownloadTool uses EDL. I used a script on GitHub to decrypt the ops, but was only able to get my hands on a partition provision XML. I'm pretty sure the other file I got was the Firehose. The issue I have is that QFIL doesn't show the partitions in the Partition Manager...

Also, without the system partition having the required drivers, Android still won't recognize and use the 5g modem. That is why we need the source files in order to build ROMs with 5g.

Anyone have any luck with the MSM Tool that was just posted on XDA?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] charesa39:
Well, technically it's a 7T Pro. Not sure if it makes a difference that it has the 855+ vs the 855 in the 7 Pro. Other than that minor bump, a camera macro mode and small 85mah battery increase, it's the same exact phone. I'm watching this thread very carefully, as I'm curious what the "tinker-ability" will be with that one. I've only really ever had Nexus/Pixel devices straight from Google, so never had to worry about this. Delayed T-Mobile updates vs OnePlus updates would drive me CRAZY!

Yeah, works perfectly, was able to read out the device ID no problem. Didn't try a flash since I'd like to back up my current partitions first but, seems like it works.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jthein1989:
You can pull partitions with the download tool. You can't flash them though. My post for the tool has instructions to pull them.

Honestly, making a backup through OnePlus switch is probably your best bet. :good:
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jthein1989:
GOOD NEWS! I got QFIL working. We can now flash individual partitions!

PSA: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CROSS-FLASH INTERNATIONAL NON-5G ROM. Sahara will fail in the process.

For anybody who has already tried, do not fear. The phone only stops responding to data from the Sahara Protocol from MSM, it does not brick. To restart the phone remove the USB cable, hold vol up, vol down, and power. The phone will restart without adverse effects.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Guy50570:

I am not sure this is completely true, saying this cuz I have a friend who works at ATT as test engineer whose job is to test the Andriod OS builds etc. before they are pushed to the devices. There is lot of collabaration between carrier and OEM when pushing updates OTA.

I really don't want to come off as entitled it anything like that but I'm just curious how optimistic you are that root will be possible. I'm trying to decide between this and the pixel 4 on Black Friday and would rather go this but root is still pretty important to me
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Guy50570:
No telling when/if we will. The only people than I can tell are still working on this is jthein1989 and myself, and I've been having no luck with QFIL or other Sahara/Firehouse clients that are available. It's really a great phone, much better than a Pixel 4 in my opinion, but if root is more important to you than a good phone with a good feature set, then you know what you should get. You might be able to take advantage of Sprint's BYOD service (if that's still a thing) and buy an unlocked device from OnePlus directly, then set it up with Sprint. I'd personally recommend that option if possible, but if not, you probably know your other option already.

Hope this helps.

Alright, I'm on the international version here, though this comes to mind..... Maybe another modified MSM Tool to flash the firmware for the 5G UK version, and THEN unlock the bootloader?
