[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Guides, News etc.] Eliminater74:
I have very bad news for you T-Mobile customers that have a OnePlus Device.. and yes I am one too..

OnePlus Rather youbuy direct from them, then from Carrier, OnePlus has Crippled the carrier edition of all their OnePlus Devices starting with the 7 Series.....

They have a MSMDownload Tool, that is now coded to each and every device it has.. meaning, if you have a T-mo edition, you will not be able to use the

msmdownload tool that has global edition, and you cant bypass that with a hex edit of the ops file anymore..

and you cant edit the msmdownload tool, because its VMP Protected, meaning unless you can unpack that VMP and restore all the imports

you will not be able to hex edit that..........

the newer MSMDownload tools check project code, which is located in a few places on your device.. but the place it checks against is

in eprom, No way to get around that.. and fastbootD which is the current way to convert. Will no longer be available to use anymore soon as well

,as OP has patched that too....... also, News is that Qualcomm is now implanting a new security method that will write protect your device.. and the only

way to bypass that is with a susyq cable and or taking apart your device and turning a switch. then flashing a developers edition OS.. So good luck with that too..

that prob wont be out for another 5 years total.... but soon all android devices will be Fully locked Down do to that.............................. This is already been implanted into chromebooks (newer)..

also, if you happen to get the ops file. well thats encrypted as well.. and because of the vmp protected msmdownload tool, the old public way to get your hands

on the loader from the ops file is no longer possible............

pretty much the only way to convert to global is by extracting OPS, then flashing partitions manually using loader......

But there is a catch there too, Oneplus is the only idiot to protect its FireHose Loader, you can read but you cant write with it.. So no matter if you had their loader extracted. you will still run into the next issue

of flashing each partition because it will fail.. Why will it fail, because OP write Protected it, you need a Demecia token and then you need another Project token... so in all you need

about 520 chars total of tokens.. good luck on that too................ Just to flash a partition to the device...........

some might ask how do I know all this, Lets just just say, I know people..............

But remember, OP has managed to encrypt everything to try and keep you carrier peepz from converting to global............

I personally think OnePlus is a jacka** company that will sell the global and carrier edition of their device for the same crazy price, but well know that the carrier editions are crippled

and nowhere near the global standard way........ Its unfair that OP took the time to lock us carrier peepz from converting.. just because they want us to buy direct and not from carrier.............

This 7 Pro that I have.. will most likely be the last OnePlus device I buy. and I know about 20 other people that refuse to buy another OnePlus device on the account they are locking people

out from a so called Developer friendly device.. OnePlus lies............................................ I have 200% Proof on everything I have said above.. if you need me to do a screen record to prove it further I will.

as for ways around said issues above, It can be done.. but the way it can be done is not public use.. and I have no permission or right to release said way............

I dont care how much money is offered, Its not in my place to release such info... But again, I dont even care about Oneplus devices anymore.. OP has shown their true colors now..

and again, Most likely will never buy another OnePlus Device again.........................

OnePlus, I know you read this, Hope you prove that you can be just as fair to carrier editions as you are with global editions.. cause I have a feeling all carrier editions will soon fail you..

because nobody is going to pay that kinda money for a crippled device that they cant convert.. you can pay nearly the same amount for the pixel 4 XL, and its not crippled in any way..

its pure vanilla Android OS....................... Guess you can figure out where I might go next........................... (waiting for Pixel 5) ...................

Please Dont message me with crazy questions and so on.. I will ignore all.. I barely use XDA.. someone posted this in my channel and I just wanted to check it out.................

only true way to reach me is on Telegram.. same nick as here...................

Good luck all...
