Oxygen 10.0.8 just became available, Download and installing now.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] stuckintheskull:
Did you do a local upgrade?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
Nope, OTA update, I went to system then had it xheck for a system update, it found the newest update and prompted to download it.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] stuckintheskull:
Ok thanks. I was just a bit nervous to do it since I converted to global.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
The only downside is that it downloads the entire 2GB file since it recognizes the bootloader is unlocked
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Sorry for the OT but I didn't want to flash the international modem so I want to go back to the Tmo modem .

Does anyone have the Tmo modem So I can flash it back?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] XD-MOD2-9MM:
I personally thought this method would never work for me. I tried multiple different computers, multiple different fastboot ROMs, I tried installing ADB and fastboot again, nothing seemed to work for me. After reading about fastbootD, I took it upon myself to retry one last time. I went into my C drive where I have my minimal ADB and fastboot installed, and I typed the command - ADB reboot fastboot - which I had never done previously. I was under the assumption this phone was like any other phone I had ever messed with and I was doing ADB reboot bootloader. Obviously flashing didn't work on the bootloader screen. I can confirm that after I booted into fastbootD, I exited out of my minimal ADB and fastboot, and went into the folder where I had extracted 10.0.6 Indian fastboot ROM, and immediately ran the flash all, and 10 minutes later my phone booted up to the oxygen OS splash bootanimation. I think OP should write that ADB reboot fastboot will put you in fastbootD, which looks like recovery, which I'm guessing is the reason why most people can't get this to work
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Mine went into recovery yet was still writing to the device according to the flash all and completed just fine.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] imakul8:
Mine did this as well and I thought something was wrong as it wasn't expected. I was about to reboot out of recovery until I saw it still writing. I think a notation of this would be helpful in the OP.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
I tried to relock my bootloader and it gave me a corrupt device message and wouldn't boot, so I had to re-unlock my bootloader to get it to boot.

Have you gotten the update to 10.0.8? And if so did it have you download the 200+ MB file or the full 2GB ROM?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] bynarie:
Thanks for this guide... I used the same process, the only difference is that I directly flashed the 10.0.8 global firmware after the indian firmware. Everything is working correctly. Wifi, Data, etc.

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

Relocking the bootloader seems very foolish. I've seen many devices get bricked doing this.. If you lock the bootloader, you lose root.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
I'm not running root on my device, i don't need it. There are some apps that run better without an unlocked bootloader plus I hate having to download the entire ROM just to upgrade the firmware.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] seen_bawl:
hi is this method works for t-mobile OP 7t?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] nolimit78:
yes
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] nolimit78:
Which apps? I know that POGO has started to do some pretty interesting things about checking for things like that. But I'm wondering if there are more?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] bynarie:
Yes, hence the title "Tmobile brand conversion" lol.. JK.. I also used this guide but I did it a little bit differently.. I fastboot flashed the latest indian rom first then local flashed the latest global firmware.

[MENTION=1766947]nolimit78[/MENTION] - Using this method, being on the latest global firmware, will ota functionality continue to work?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
OTA functionality works but it downloads the entire 2GB ROM not the incremental update.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] Thetega:
Hello, for this section, I'm confused as to what code I need to put in there.

Any help would be greatly helpful
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] ziddey:
Not sure how the ota upgrade flow works, but my theory is that your next ota will be incremental.

This is assuming that it doesn't mirror the active slot and then apply the incremental update. Instead, it looks for an incremental update for what's in the inactive slot. So unless you flashed to both slots, this is why.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
This is my second OTA both have done the same thing, it has to do with the unlocked bootloader.

Its done it for the last two OTA, it has message about OEM Unlocking active which requires the full ROM download for integrity reasons.

[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] Thetega:
Thank you, worked for me
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] Mnementh666:
Ok, I think I've read all the pages in the thread. Two questions... If for some reason I need to warranty my phone with T-Mobile, is there a way to flash back to the stock rom, or will they care?

Also, will going global lose any modem functionality for band coverage?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] heyitsconan:
I had to update with the full 2gb file.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] imakul8:
I returned mine back to them on the Indian rom and I would lose data randomly because I flashed the wrong boot image. They paid no attention to the rom.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] Mnementh666:
Which bit image did you use?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] imakul8:
It was the 10.0.3 image in the rooting thread. I flashed when I should have booted.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
I also relocked my bootoader a couple of days ago and have not issues yet either. Some apps are running better, any app with biometrics work better, along with Netflix.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] XD-MOD2-9MM:
I use biometric apps all day everyday and I have never had any issues with an unlocked bootloader​
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] nolimit78:
OP updated to reflect some changes in the conversion process. Much simpler and less steps. I have reserved #4 post to include the old instructions just in case. Thanks for AWR128 for all the help in getting this honed in!

Changelog:

Removed old steps and moved them to post4 JIC

Added new links to updated Fastboot ZIPs

Added a new line of code to the unlock process

General clean up of useless text

ect..

Please let me know if you run through these steps and encounter any issues. I want this to be helpful to everyone who sees it. Thanks for everyone's handwork on this!
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] mobbdeep:
[MENTION=1766947]nolimit78[/MENTION] I appreciate the shoutout in your OP for my network unlock service. I'll definitely be giving this tutorial a shot for my own 7T.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
Mobbdeep just wanted to say thank you again for the unlock service you provide, if it weren't for you, this wouldn't even be possible for most of us. You definitely need to switch over to the global ROM.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] nolimit78:
Is this a manual nandroid backup?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] yellowman82:
Hey guys, I finally got the bin code from OnePlus to unlock the bootloader. I'm using a HP laptop and I downloaded the fastboot zip and followed the directions but when I try to open up the fastboot application it just closes right away not even a second, even when I try to open the adb also the same thing happens, can someone help me with this not sure if I'm missing something?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] Mnementh666:
Navigate using Windows explorer to wherever your adb and fastboot exes are. Hold alt or maybe shift and right-click somewhere in that directory window. You should see "open a command prompt here". Use that, then type in the adb commands.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] Grin59:
You don't open them, you open cmd and use commands. Test them with, "adb version" and if it returns a version number then you'll be good to use it with commands like, "adb devices" and fastboot devices.

Or if that doesn't work you might have to change directory to where they are located, with, "cd (your drive here):/(where the file is located)/ and then after it's changed do an adb command to confirm.

I had to do this when I installed omni rom, as adb wasn't actually installed, just some files in a folder but once I changed directory I could use them in cmd
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] yellowman82:
Thanks I had finally got everything working, also I was coming from the T-Mobile variant with the software 10.0.3 which is old and I used the Global ROM 10.0.8 zip and everything is working.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] nolimit78:
Hello! Thanks for bringing this up. This was a gap in the instructions assuming that you knew this, that's my mistake! When it comes to adb/fastboot executing, you won't ever double click on the exe. It's a program that runs through CMD and you can call adb/fastboot commands from CMD. As long as you've changed your working directory to where your ADB/Fastboot/Unlock_code.bin files should be, you should be good.

I've added step 5a to help with this:
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] arbrouwer:
Has anyone successfully locked their bootloader after flashing the 10.0.8 rom? Looking for someone who's done it and not in theory. Process and adb command?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
I have relocked my bootloader but I did after updating to 10.0.7, then did a OTA to 10.0.8. Command while in fastboot is

fastboot oem lock
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] arbrouwer:
No luck for me. I was on 10.0.8 and decided to flash the 10.0.7 rom. When through the steps and was successful, but when trying to lock the bootloader, I get the same error and was stuck in a bootloop. Only way to exit is to enter into fastboot and then unlock bootloader again. Phone wipes and then starts up......but the bootloader must remain unlocked. Grrrr!
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] Libra420T:
Question? I have a Tmobile Op7t unlocked. How do I local update? the gear in system update screen is missing. is that right? and is there an alternative other than rooting...?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
You have to flash either the Indian ROM or the Global ROM.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] Libra420T:
Will that affect anything to do with tmo? like bands, connections, NFC, etc?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
Not at all, the Global ROM supports TMobile and really any of the bands in the US except for maybe Sprint. I did speed tests for TMobile before and after the conversion and saw no difference in speed or connectivity.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] ziddey:
no, still pulling in band 71 here
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr.pebble:
Now that the Beta is out. Can we go from tmobile firmware straight to beta using this method? OR tmobile > global > beta?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] Mnementh666:
Lemme know if you get this to work, I was unsuccessful as well. I'd like to lock the phone again.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] buttsak:
So after going rooted global can we flash custom ROMs?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] lulu217783:
This question may have been asked before. But, when you convert the T-Mobile oneplus 7t to international software does it then support dual sim??
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr.pebble:
You should check the custom roms threads for 7t. But all you need for custom rom is an unlocked bootloader. Custom rom replaces whatever firmware was there anyway. Root is not required. Im personally waiting for stable twrp and lineage os before going to custom rom.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] scorpio76r:
Yes you will just need to get a dual sim tray. Amazon is a good choice for getting one
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] ziddey:
Yeah, dual sim and you keep band 71. I just wish it had the option for automatic data switching if the main sim loses data/service, or better yet has poor data (like aggressive wifi handoff). The quick toggle for data sim switching is pretty convenient otherwise.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] buttsak:
Thank you. I guess I'll wait some more for twrp. Just disappointed. Should of just gotten the regular one like I did for the wife.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr.pebble:
Im going to switch to Global and then go for the beta while I wait for better ROM support.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
The roms that are currently out are flashed via fastboot :cool:
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr.pebble:
Hopefully someone can help me out. I'm running POP_OS! (Ubuntu based Linux). I've successfully unlocked the bootloader but does anyone know an alternative way to flash the global rom with out using flash-all.bat. .bat doesn't seem work on linux. I tried running it through wine but i'm not confident I was doing it correctly. Is there one command for linux or do I need to manually update each .img? Any insight would be great.

******************************************************************************EDIT*******************************************************************************

I got impatient and flashed each .img manually. It seems to boot and work just fine hopefully that helps someone running linux.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] yellowman82:
It's a very simple process to be honest, follow the steps and you will be good to go, only painful part was waiting the 7days to receive the unlock bin# from one plus.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] nolimit78:
You pretty much did what we would have suggested here. If the bat files aren't working or you can't run them (because of Linux) as long as you set up your environment properly, the commands can be ran manually.

Now, don't be some glum sugar plumb! The only real /loss/ with not having TWRP, is the ability to run nandroid. Otherwise, it's a slight pain, but you can get past it. This is a hangup that most Android 10 devices are having. Honestly going through this process also familiarizes the person with ADB/Fastboot and should help with understanding things later down the road. If you go through this process you'll be able to unlock your device for free, unlock the bootloader and then flash a ROM or two via fastboot. This will give you some practice if you're interested in Custom ROMs or even moving to Global OOS, you have a better understanding of Android and the OP7T.

How do I find my unlock code? I've unlocked my phone, but forgot to take down the 64 character long unlock code.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] nolimit78:
Step 5!
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] saltysalzig:
Thanks! Sometimes I can't read right. I need new glasses I suppose.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] Mnementh666:
I got it relocked on 10.0.8 global.

I was previously in the beta2

used the rollback rom to go back. that's a full flash with wipe.

After that flashed, I got back into bootloader and was able to oem lock. booted now, and setting back up.

YMMV, do at your own risk, etc etc.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] jsgraphicart:
Hello all. I'm starting to get more and more interested in doing this lately. Especially since the directions have gotten a whole lot simpler with "unlock bootloader, click flash-all.bat, root, done". I've read through the whole thread and just have some questions. Mostly for reassurance.

1. The link to get the unlock code just sends me to a referral page. I'm guessing I need to sign up for a OnePlus account in order to get that unlock code?

2. Once I do this, my phone will be completely cut off from T-Mobile, correct? Other than just using their service with the SIM. So all updates will come directly from OnePlus from here on out?

3. I don't think I will ever want to or if there will even be a point, but could I revert back to the T-Mobile ROM in the future and how would I do that?

4. If something goes wrong in the future (say I mess something up with root and can't boot), are there recovery files and/or software to use them somewhere? Just like how Google has factory images if you can't boot. Or is it simply repeat the instructions here with the same files?

5. My device is currently on 10.0.7. so the new instructions are good to follow, correct?

Everything seems pretty simple and straight forward so I may end up doing this sooner than later. I mainly want quicker updates without waiting on T-Mobile, root and maybe try out the betas. Thanks to anyone who replies.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
1. Yup, that's a referral page, fill it out and wait 7 days for them to send you an email with the file to unlock the bootloader. You must also be SIM unlocked.

2. All updates will come from OnePlus, and you can download the T mobile apps from the play store if you want to put them back on, like T Mobile Tuesdays, visual voicemail, etc.

3. You should be able to use the unbrick tool to revert back to the T Mobile ROM.

4. You should be able to flash the fastboot files.

5. You should be good with the new instructions.

P.S. I'm currently running beta 2 with no issues so far. Bought a dual SIM tray from Amazon and am now have access to two phone numbers, one phone, haha.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] jsgraphicart:
Awesome. One thing I just got hung up on though is finding the unlock code that OnePlus is asking for. It says to boot into fastboot (which I assume is the bootloader) and get it there but when I do, there is no unlock code or serial number. I have already toggled the OEM Unlock switch as well.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] jsgraphicart:
Ah. Ok. Got it. So the unlock code is the whole two lines of numbers? Just paste them both in there as one long sequence?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
Yup, no spaces
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] jsgraphicart:
Perfect. Got it submitted. I guess I'll be back here next week to finish the process. Thank you.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] scorpio76r:
This process works like a charm
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] bigTyoung:
About Phone > Processor = none, Camera = none, Screen = none. Is this normal? I just noticed this even though I converted my phone over a month ago. There is no problems, phone works great.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
That's not normal.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] oscarmaldonado:
Ok guys, I need your advice here please, I'm with T-Mo and the do have 3 different versions of this particular cellphone and these are:

1.ONEPLUS 7T PRO 5G MCLaren

2.ONEPLUS 7T

3.ONEPLUS 7 PRO

Definitely option #1 is out of my budget, and I'm trying to decide in between the 2 and 3 and my question is: I want to root it and I was wondering if this method will work for both? at the end I want to convert it to international version, root and install TWRP. I'm really sorry if this is off topic but I want to start somewhere. Thanks in advance guys.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] ziddey:
Both require 40(?) days of service and the phone paid off in order to sim-unlock. Both technically also require a sim-unlock in order to request the bootloader unlock bin (another 7 days). However, there is a workaround for the 7p that'd let you unlock the bootloader and convert to international by flashing a specific developer preview build. Don't believe this sim-unlocks though.

Quickest and least amount of work would be to buy the 7t direct. If there's a good subsidy on a TMO phone, it may be best to sell that one new-in-box somewhere instead.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] oscarmaldonado:
Thanks bud for taking your time and explain what my best option is.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] jsgraphicart:
So as I wait for my unlock file from OnePlus, I'm getting all my files ready for this process. I noticed in the global ROM download after unzipping the contents that it has all the files that come with the ADB folder from Google. Are we supposed to replace the ones from Google with these? Are they the same? Does it matter?

Also, do we still have to use the canary magisk build for root or is the normal one fine now?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] bynarie:
Hello. I have recently bought the device and found out about the rediculous locked bootloader issues. In order to do a bootloader unlock, you have to network unlock first. Here is my question. I found an unlocking website (https://unlocklocks.com/) and it supports the OP 7T, from tmobile usa. Would this be a realistic method? Anyone ever used/heard of these guys? I could care less if it was over $100, it would be well worth it to me. The question is "would it work?" Thanks

this won't cost you a cent

Hi

my method is free

install the app called VTS Android vulnerability suite. The oneplus 7T has two known vulnerabilities that have already been patched by google. dial 611 on your phone let them know the CRITICAL vulnerabilities have been patched by google the the service ie. Tmobile with its locked bootloader is keeping you from applying the update. Tell them on the record if they refuse to oem unlock then if your identity is ever stolen then they would be the responsible party. your ammo is the CVE and making the service liable... My phone is not paid off nor has the phone been on the network for 40 days. tell your tier 3 rep its above top secret. Cristy called me back in three days as she promised and unlocked my phone. This IS the only sure way to do it.

[Samsung Galaxy A30 Questions & Answers] xamxixixo:
Hello everyone,

Just installed Lineage OS 16 on my A30. Then I connect a VGA OTG, an USB hub 3.0 OTG. The VGA did not work. The USB hub only worked with storage drive plugged in. I tried to connect a USB network adapter (AWUS036H and AWUS0365ACH), with an app called USB OTG Checker, the phone seems to be able to detect those devices, but not about the working.

Do I need to install some drivers for the phone to work with those external devices?

Thank you.
