[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Guides, News etc.] i'm.god:
I never intended getting this phone, but i got it for $400 unlocked. Well, it was SUPPOSED to be and of course the seller lied about that. I bought it February 3rd. I tried and tried myself to get it unlocked thru T-Mobile over chat and phone. The buyer told me he had two more payments and to give him a few days. This went on for weeks. I finally realized it was a lost cause.

After one of the T-mobile reps said, I can't give you any specifics, since it was on another account but if i was in your situation I would get rid of it as fast as you can.

So I opened a case on ebay and was approved to return it. The day I was going to mail it I got on T-Force. I said i need to unlock my phone. He said asked for the imei. I gave it to him and said it wasn't showing up and wanted to know what kind of phone it was. I said Oneplus and he siad give me few. Five minutes later he told me to go to the unlock app and hit permanent unlock. Just like that. Freedom!!

Or so I thought. That was like the 18th of Feb. Since then I've tried calling and chatting with Oneplus and got no where. I told them i need a dual sim phone. That i know there is no international rom for the Oneplus 7T Pro 5G McLaren, but Since they made the f-ing phone to activate the sim. They kept telling me it can't be done. I told them the hardware is built in they could do it if they actually cared...

Over the last 3 three days I went hardcore. I have logged a good 32 hours on chat, in just the last 3 days alone. I have just pummeled them with request after request after request after request. I was running 4 different browsers, on all of them I was chatting with Oneplus. I asked for the what some have said does not exist. A version of software that activates the dual sim on the T-Mobile variant. I need that other sim to be activated. After escalating each case. I had 15 different email accounts going and after talking to around 7 different Level2 Tech Specialists one agent finally approved me getting my phone flashed.

Once approved for this it basically meant nothing. I still had to claw my way thru. I had to go thru 4 more Level 2 Tech agents because from there they told me they can't legally do it. I didnt go that far for nothing. I waited for his shift to end bc I kept restarting chat and asking to speak to LEvel 2 tech specialist I kept getting transferred to the same guy. So I called again and I was told to wait 24-48 hours and I would receive a call for remote session.

Then it took me calling 8 separate times and 4 more days for me to actually get a remote session. Finally with download instructions. I got my remote session. During the session the guy was unlocking files and whatnot and I may have "accidentally disconnected" mid remote session. Hahaha;)

Before I get anyone too excited. I'm drawing a blank here. Last year I converted a Oneplus 6T and Oneplus 7 Pro that were T-Mobile to dual sim by installing international Rom. We all know the OP7TPROM5G is another animal alI together.

I still have the Oneplus 7 Pro and all those files for conversion. So i thought it would try and refresh my memory on connecting to the MSM Download Tool with my OP7 PRO and I don't remember ever having a problem, but the tool isnt' recognizing my OP7PRO i guess

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So this is me attempting to connect to the MSM Tool for the Oneplus 7 Pro. ( practice run)

Steps:

All files are where they should be.

Drivers installed.

Phones off.

then I hold down volume keys

count to 5

then plug in to my computer (using OEM USB)

Yet it won't connect.

What am I forgetting?
