Of course it remains locked! It doesn't alter the bootloader lock state or SIM lock state at all.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] tuntun2526:
Oh that's really cool. Can't wait to get my device and follow the guidelines. Thanks.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] morphius88:
Is it just me or is anyone else facing these issues after converting?

* Constant random freezes and hangs (in almost every app)

* Aggressive RAM management apps reload way to often sometimes less than 30 sec after switching to another app and back.

* Adaway (ad block) does not work at all (systemless hosts enabled and root permissions given)

* Playing Call of Duty also constantly freezes mid game and makes a high pitch sound while frozen (most of the time for 2-5 seconds before resuming)

* Slow overall, sometimes screen wont turn on for a couple seconds after pressing the power button or double tapping the screen. Feels like its 2013 all over again.

I have the Oneplus 7 Pro and it worked great but I hated the curved screen so decided to jump up to the OP8T. Got a good deal on the TMO version so took my chance with the conversion.

Bootloader unlocked, took newest OTA then rooted with the latest canary Magisk.

Any help appreciated.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] morphius88:
Try a different cable (and possibly a different port). My Oneplus 7 Pro cable did not work properly to recognize the OP8T but a generic one did. It was really odd but not the first time I have experienced something like that.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
Did you go the MSM or fastboot route? I haven't heard of anyone having the issues you describe.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] HipHopAnonymous3:
Is there any benefit to converting using the new MSM method if I've successfully converted using the previous fastboot method? Thanks for all your work btw! :)
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] morphius88:
I did the fastboot route. I did it a couple days before you posted the MSM method. It seemed to work fine (although that was only for a couple hours) until I transferred all my data, apps, and photos/videos from OP7P.

I dont really want to do a fresh install but I will If nothing else works.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
Hmm, if you wiped and updated before using, it might be an app that's incompatible or didn't transfer properly.

What did you use to transfer?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] tuntun2526:
Do you have the latest adb and fastboot drivers on your laptop?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] morphius88:
I used "Oneplus Switch" to transfer everything. Every apps seems to load fine but a bunch of them will throw up the frozen pop up where you can choose wait or close app. It happens randomly.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Smallsmx3:
Thanks for the msm tool! I'm going to venture out and flash a rom or two? Any reason you went with EU vs Glo? Just wondering since Glo us a version down and users could use oxygen updater to flash up to EU
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
EU gets updates faster, more reliable full OTA, better privacy laws.

The resulting version in this MSM is like 4 or 5 versions down, so you won't have trouble updating to Global, India, etc if that's your goal. Furthermore, I don't think open betas even delineates between regions if that's what you want to do.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
Can you try just transfer SMS/Call Log, and leave the apps? I've been stable using the fastboot method for 6 months+ now, so I can only imagine it's caused by an app. Give the MSM tool a shot too if you decide to wipe.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
I think so
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
Don't need adb or fastboot for edl stuff, you can always go the fastboot method to convert if you have an unlocked BL
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] morphius88:
Yea I will give MSM a go. But I would assume I can download the apps from the play store one by one after? Do you use adaway by chance? I havent been able to get it to work like it used to. I am using the Energized Ultimate hosts list which used to block pretty much everything. I've tried all sorts of ways to make it work. Cleared cache and storage, uninstall and reinstall and all sorts of variations with the systemless hosts module in Magisk and still nothing.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
Yeah download apps via Google Play directly.

I use adaware w/ systemless hosts and default list, no issues.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] morphius88:
Do you have a link for Adaware? I cannot seem to find anything trustworthy. Everything shows up as AdAway instead which I already have.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
Apologies, I meant to say AdAway
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] morphius88:
Gotcha. I got rid of AdAway just now and installed the energized module in magisk. That seems to work at the moment but it does not get rid of the boxes/area where the ad was. Not a big deal for a temporary solution.

I will try MSM tool and will install all apps through the play store and see if that helps resolve my issues.

Your RAM is not being aggressive?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Ugh.. still can't get past "waiting for device", my device must be special 😂😂

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] LLStarks:
Will an MSM conversion be possible for OP9 series phones? I heard whatever method is being used is now patched.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] tuntun2526:
You would have to wait till that's done. The 8T literally just got the MSM conversion tool,so wait till when it's done.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] LLStarks:
Multiple devs here and elsewhere have noted enhanced encryption for the OP9 and Nord MSM tools. There may not be a "when it's done".

That's what I want to know about. Not an ETA.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] tuntun2526:
That's a bummer then. Hopefully something turns up.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
It's actually already done (at least for the 9 Pro)... but it's not ready for release due to lingering problems with modem/radio, and I don't think it'll ever get fixed due to potential actual h/w differences in the radio
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
I tried reading through the thread. With the new MSM conversion method is OTA safe?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
It's converting to EU, so it's always OTA safe via full update.

If you go to Global, as long as you don't root, it is incremental OTA safe, but you'll have a wonky about phone page
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Finally got myself sorted out lol. Although I can't download Netflix or Disney plus because my device is t compatible. Any fix for that?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
Is your bootloader unlocked or rooted?

Either way, see this post https://xdaforums.com/t/unable-to-install-netflix-after-rooting.4275501/page-2#post-85005599
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Thanks, I just downloaded from APK mirror and it works fine. Very weird that my device is certified on the playstore, widevine is L1 but I have to sideload. Oh well, not a big deal
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] CoolRalph:
So if I use this to convert my sim and bootloader LOCKED TMobile OP8T+ to a global , then use local upgrade to flash to the open beta, will I get OTA updates WITHOUT having to manually update via local upgrade each time
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
Yes.

When it's time to SIM unlock though, you'll need to MSM back to t-mobile to use the unlock app (and subsequently wipe everything), so keep that in mind.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] CoolRalph:
I figured as much but is an unlock or bootloader unlock required for anything outside of wanting root? Which I don't care for. I just want to know if I'm on the open beta il get those wonderful notifications of a new update without jumping through hoops for it lol
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Root is the only reason to unlock the bootloader unless you want to use TWRP for ROM backups and flashing. If you don't wish to root or do any of those things things, don't bother with unlocking the bootloader.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] CoolRalph:
Thought so. It's been a while since I flashed anything to any of my phone's and now I'm getting the itch to mess around lol
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] dextheway:
Hey guys is there an available MSM Conversion from TMO to Global? Thread too big to find it.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] tuntun2526:
Did you even read the first page at all? The instruction is literally on the first page.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] dextheway:
I only saw the MSM Conversion for EU. Is the global version the one under the old fastboot method section? Sorry kinda new this and not too sure about the specific terms.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] dextheway:
Hey sorry for kinda spamming here. I tried flashing through fastboot but I got an error "flashing not allowed in lock state" when i ran the flash_all.bat.

I have already enable OEM Unlock at the developers option.

Anyone can assist me?

I tried using fastboot oem unlock but it requires a code. If I'm not wrong this can be bypassed using MSM tool?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
You use msm to flash Eu, then use local upgrade to switch to Global. No need to unlock bl
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] dextheway:
Thanks for your reply. I will try flashing to EU using MSM. How do I do a local upgrade? Do i download the one here from OP?

So my 8t arrived today and i used the guide in the OP. it took all of 4mins 30 secs to convert to EU rom. Thanks @craznazn for the tool.

​

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] morphius88:
So I used MSM to I guess convert from Global (used fastboot method originally to convert from TMO) to EU. Updated to latest OTA and rooted. Did not transfer anything from old phone and I am still experiencing annoying issues.

* Aggressive ram management. Can't leave a game/app or browser page for even 10 seconds at times. It will refresh or reload completely if I leave for more than 10-30 seconds. Seems to be Android 11 issue?

* Experiencing hangs but not as bad as before.

* AdAway seems to be working but leaves the ad boxes visible (his them on Android 10 on OP7P).

* Other things possibly that I can't think of ATM cuz it's midnight here.

I assume there is no rollback to A10 since this phone was released with A11 to begin with?

There's 12gb of ram on this phone but it's acting like I have 2gb ram instead, anything I do to fix this would be greatly appreciated
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
I would try a different kernel and see if that helps, but at the same time I never experienced the issues you are referring to. The only other thing i can think of is to let the dexopt job run
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] dextheway:
Anyone experiencing issues on global ROM where the apps one awhile app stops responding?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lz3807775t:
I might sound dumb here , but did you go into your battery settings and un click Optimized and click Don't optimize for the apps not to get killed in the background , also it might eat more battery tho
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] fivestar0234:
guys pls help my boot loader is still locked. i am sim unlocked and i have already ran the msm tool to convert from the t-mobile ver. i have oem unlocked checked in developer options but fastboot still says device state is locked
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
The msm tool does not unlock your bootloader. You need the unlock token from OnePlus to do that.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] tuntun2526:
If you need to unlock the bootloader, then you should do fastboot oem unlock.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] tuntun2526:
Well not necessarily per the new tool, he can convert to global or Eu with the msm then fastboot oem unlock.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
You have to flash your unlock code in fastboot before using the OEM unlock command
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] tuntun2526:
Well with the new tool per the instructions in the OP, that's not necessary again after you convert to EU or global.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
Aww then yeah make sure your in regular fastboot with the green letters and issue the command fastboot OEM unlock and then follow the prompts on your phone.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] fivestar0234:
i feel so dumb, thank you! it worked
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
No you don't. I didn't have to do that. I just ran the tool to convert and then fastboot unlocked
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] morphius88:
Never heard of running dexopt. I sort of understand what it is but how would I go about doing that?

I will also look into the kernel. I forget, will changing the kernel prevent me from taking updates and rerooting?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] morphius88:
I turned optimization off for my most used apps and it does seem to help a bit but now the apps will hang an extra 2-3 seconds before I can do anything. Never had to do that on any of my previous phones up until Android 11.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
You need a computer with adb and fastboot set up

I re read the op and noticed you only need to be sim unlocked now to unlock the bootloader with the new msm method. I'm used to having to do it the "old school" way.

Hey guys,

I've out of circulation for a minute and catching up.

I just ran the new conversion tool and it's freaking awesome. I am, though, still having issues rooting since my bootloader is locked. I am sim unlocked.

From what I know so far, this tool is modified to bypass to bootloader.

How can I root from here?

BTW, I hope this all makes sense.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] tuntun2526:
Boot into fastboot mode and "fastboot OEM unlock" to unlock your bootloader, then you can proceed with rooting.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] sameog:
Thanks for getting back to me.

I hear that there is a semi-broken TWRP floating out there to assist with root and heard that Magisk got re-vamped again.

Again, I've been out of the game for a minute.

Any and all input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. =)
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] sameog:
Guys, I had to revert back to MSM back to tmobile. Reason being is that after I unlocked the bootloader, I installed magisk canary. Using a non-tmobile boot img, I created a magisk patched img and froze my phone.

For the record, I hear that you need root to extract the kb2007 boot img from your phone. I can't unlock my bootloader yet since I literally just submitted my unlock code request to oneplus today.

I honestly can *live* with tmobile stock for now. @craznazn delivered a modified beast with the new conversion approach.

If anyone out there either supply me with a kb2007 boot img, I'll drop you some beer money for your efforts. My ADB skills are ass and frankly, I trust the genuises here at/on XDA becsuse, apparently, you all know what you're doing. =)

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
Yeah, you don't want to mix different boot.img EU, Global and India Roms all offer different apps. Global edition is base and has no additional features. EU is Global + privacy features and alternate app choices besides Google to comply with GDPR. Lacks equalizer in Dolby Atmos (probably due to licensing issues.) Indian is Global + Red Cable Club. It does have the Atmos EQ.

Thank you
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
You can't. The internal codename flashed elsewhere that's not touched by the MSM (param maybe, but unsure) calls it "kebabt", where the SIM Free 8T is just "kebab". It's obvious the software just compares the string and sets the value, but the EU/Global/India ROM does not have an entry for "kebabt", so the about phone screen is broken.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] JIN_RUI:

Exactly, it took all of 4 mins for the conversion. Download oxygen updater after converting and set your device to oneplus 8T to get the global update so you can download. But have found that the EU ROM literally gets same update as the global. So pretty much no point moving to global IMO.
