Yup, wish I could have too, but my last phone was broke and couldn't shell out for an unbranded one
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] FernBch:
I know exactly how that feels. My last device was the Verizon branded pixel 3 XL. I had no choice but to get it from Verizon at the time. Every device before that did come from Verizon but I was either able to use an existing exploit before it got patched or find one and unlock and customize my device as I saw fit. The P3 XL was the first one that I could not do that with. Never again will I get a device from Verizon unless I absolutely have to.

[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Rabid-Cabbit:
Just received my OnePlus 8 Pro from Amazon, Model Number IN2025 (was through OnePlus but via Amazon for quicker shipping).

Upon first boot, the typical "Insert Sim Card" message was displayed in the "enable unlocking" option. So, I did exactly that. I powered the phone off, inserted my currently active Verizon sim. Powered back on.. and was able to select the Allow Unlocking option, and use typical Fastboot OEM UNLOCK command within fastboot.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] FernBch:
This is normal behavior for a device that came from 1+.

It's the devices that are sold by Verizon that can't be unlocked. They did the same with the Pixels. Google devices were unlockable, branded devices were not, it's tied to the IMEI and you can't get around it.

I hacked/dug deep into code. To get past it you'll need to find an exploit that pops a root shell then figure out what needs to be edited. I'm certain it's more than a simple build prop edit. The unlock toggle yes/no is set during initial setup.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] mattie_49:
Finding the similarities and differences in devices could probably show us where that switch off goes into play.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] FernBch:
It's a carrier restriction. The oemunlockservice runs during the setup process on first boot and is a HAL service. There are also data calls from /Vendor. It's actually a pretty ingenious method and quite secure way to enforce carrier policy.

SIM being present or not has zero effect, switching to another carrier also has no effect. The identifying factor has been the IMEI for the Pixel line. Google devices started with 99 where Verizon sold devices started with 35. The data bit allowing or disallowing the toggle to be active is written to /persist and survives factory reset.

And, if you didn't know, when your device is paid off you can't get the bootloader unlock restriction lifted....

Which patched boot.img did you use to root?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] FernBch:
Once you're unlocked you can flash. Find the firmware for the version of your device, look at one of the other threads on the forum and you'll find a payload dumper. Unzip the file run the payload dumper on the payload.bin file. Then you can use magic to patch the boot.img file, once you get all that just fast boot flash it and you have root.

No data lacking here. I've been unlocked,rooted, converted to global firmware for over a week now. Zero issues. This device is beast. Look back 3-4 posts and pm him.

Ok he unlocked my bootloader but didnt know if the conversion was something you did or he did.thanks for the response.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] mattie_49:
He did it all for me all the way down to installing magisk. Make sure not to take ota's to android 11. Will break modem. And he has the ability to re-lock our bootloader and return to factory verizon state. However we will be enjoying Oxygen 11 as soon as Verizon drops their updated modem for the one plus 8. Soon
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] rodken:
Refresh my memory as to why do you need the global firmware?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] mattie_49:
Minimal bloat,next to get Oxygen 11, can still flash aosp. Other than that don't know. On this stock global 10. 5 the experience after installing kernels and just a few minimal root apps is night and day difference.. phone seems as if it's gonna be lasting about a day and a half off charger with 10 or so hours on screen. Pretty amazing

Once unlocked you can just install the standard twrp and any rom for the oneplus 8 right?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] mattie_49:
Yes .. but it's a much different process than I'm used to. Side load. You should read up on it a little.

Edit. And since these carrier devices have been locked down. There is very little development for this device.

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-8/how-to/guide-convert-to-global-t4105885#login

Global has real bad rotation issues currently after switching over. Your probably better staying with Verizon stock debloated or A10 aosp of some sort. Pix experience is about as stable as it gets. Look it up in threads. The whole deal is we gotta wait for Verizon to update oos to A11. This will update modem. If you convert to global don't go to the A11 build as it will break modem / data . After Verizon ota updates our device we can flash whatever we want including A11. Look up msm tool for Verizon variant as well. There is new thread as tool is brand new. I used last night. This could turn out to be useful in many situations. Gets you back to stock relocked .

[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] mattie_49:
Flashed clean slate . Realized I couldn't block wakelocks with it and restored stock. Go into exkernel manager into tools and back-up stock perf kernel before you flash. Elemental x was messing with hyptic feedback and system vibrations during notifications & calls. I'm stock kernel currently as I'd rather have vibrations rather than an extra hour or so on screen.

[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Jaybone073:
I sent a PM. My curiosity is aroused, as well as my skepticism. I asked a few questions to see what they will say. My main concerns would be updated security patches, using official OP firmware that is free of Verizon bloatware, and finally 5G functionality. With the added modules in this device to support mmWave 5G (Verizon 5G) versus sub 6 5G (which is what AT&T and T-Mobile use), I am curious to see if that functionality will be lost entirely because this is hardware in the phone itself that supports that.

Right now, 5G isn't that big of a deal for me because I live in a rural area that probably won't see it until they start getting ready for 6G talking points in cellular companies PowerPoint presentations 5 years from now! :p

I've been patiently waiting for a response, not that that falls on you, but since you offered proof, I figured I'd ask if you have any new information? @Whoareyou has yet to respond (has anybody had any recent contact with him/her?), and I would really love to get to geeking out on this new toy, can ANYBODY share any relevant information or tips on where I should be looking in order to begin testing an exploit for myself?

Hopefully, I'm not coming off entitled or impatient, I'd just really like to have some fun with this phone (best I've owned in years, if I'm being honest), if I can get this damn BL unlocked, it'll be the first phone I've owned in forever that was bl unlockable and that is VERY exciting to me at this point in my life...as lame as that may sound.

Is @Whoareyou showing you, or anyone for that matter, how he's accomplishing the exploit, or is he making the magic happen behind closed doors? And if he is sharing his method, would anyone be so kind as to let us know in a PM, or something?

Please make my day fellow geeks, anyone, and thanks for any and all help in advance!!!

[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Apoksiomen:
Hello there,

OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition user here.

I am having a problem every time I make phone calls. The problem is that suddenly, during a phone call, after few moments screen turns ON and it is annoying. I need to turn it OFF instantly by myself because if I don't turn it OFF it happens my face touches the buttons, keyboard and other parts of screen so several unwanted actions are performed during the call. It happens constantly so I think it is not just by accident.

For example, when having a call via WhatsApp that issue isn't happening so I think is related to Phone app.

I have had a bunch of smartphones in the past and I didn't have such a problem with either of them.

Can someone help me how to solve this issue or does someone other have it as well?

Thanks.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] NavySpark:
So you are saying it only happens on the phone app when you hold it to your face? What if you did a call via speakerphone only.

I ask this as I had a phone previously that the proximity sensor had issues and screen would come on when the phone was held up against my head. Could be a hardware problem.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Apoksiomen:
Yes. If I do a phone call via speakerphone there is no such a issue. Even I feel that this is proximity sensor issue but just wanted to check here whether someone had similar problems.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] parcou:
This is a strange one to describe and I cannot figure out the pattern. I use a BT set all day and at the end of the night I turn it off as well as the phone BT. However I cannot hear sound (voices) from the phone or the speaker phone. This is both ways when I call out or I call myself from home to the 6800. Now I can do a reset and it all works. I also can turn the BT on after the reset then it all works. I only notice this when I am on BT all day and at the end of the day turning it all off.

Not making a big deal out of it just curious if anyone else have had this issue. I have been on different roms 3.12, 3.22 not stating at all it is an issue there....just asking to see if there is a fix.

Thx
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jph8tr:
I had this issue with the 3.27 (DCD 3.0.1) radio and my plantronics 855. I got used to resetting (something all Mogul owners are used to doing!) the phone when I disconnected BT. Since changing to the 3.42.30 (DCD 3.2.2) radio I haven't had the problem. Keep in mind that It's only been a week! I think the radio has more to do with this than the ROM.
