I am satisfied. I had some weird issues at first but all has been good the last couple weeks. I honestly seem to think Tmobile builds are in sync with the Global....T-Mobile just got a new update yesterday and they are experiencing the same issues that the Global users are facing
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] wahookasan:
Skipping this update all together. Too many bugs to use it as a daily driver 🤨
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] androidbuff123:
Does anyone know why my oxygen updater is not even showing the current update and what the workaround might be ? I have a TMO oneplus 8T that is converted to global KB05AA. I can see the update on the system update menu under settings but didn't want to use that in order to preserve root. So I was wanting to download the full update on oxygen updater but it's now showing up there.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
The full update hasnt been released by OnePlus yet, and might not ever be.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Coderedpl:
I believe I saw this posted somewhere earlier in the thread, but just to re-iterate and confirm a "solution". I realized I wont be able to take the incremental updates while still unlocked, and since at present time I have no need for root, I wanted to re-lock the bootloader.

If you decide that you want to re-lock the bootloader after flashing global, you must flash the full zip OTA first via local upgrade in system update while booted, otherwise, if you do the command to relock bootloader, it will lock it but it will not boot up complaining of a corrupted system.

So if you forget to do so, you can unlock the bootloader again from within fastboot, boot up, flash the ota, go back into fastboot and relock.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] vinay427:
Thank you; I probably would have missed this point otherwise. However, I would also like to add that at least for me, I needed to also let the device reboot completely after doing the local upgrade with full OTA before trying to re-lock. The first time, I did the local upgrade and rebooted directly into fastboot to lock but this still resulted in the corrupt software message, so I needed to do the whole process again: re-unlock->set up device->local upgrade->let device reboot completely->shut down and reboot into fastboot->fastboot oem lock.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] N8spangler:
When I had the 6t they had a way to convert without unlocking the sim or bootloader. Has effigy changed that it won't be possible with the 8t?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] OuncE718:
Someone said they were working on it but that was like a month or so ago.

When possible might the OP @craznazn update this thread with the 11.0.6.8 / 11.0.6.9 packages?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
Most likely when the full update is released.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
The 11.0.6.8/9 package is unavailable for Global as of right now. I would use the current method to convert to EU and local upgrade to 6.8/6.9 via system update or oxygen updater.

If you really want to go to 11.0.6.8/9 GLO:

*Convert to global as instructed in OP

*Run Oxygen Updater and re-install whatever latest build it has for global

*Reboot, then lock bootloader. Do not root, do not flash anything else

*Take incremental OTA

*Unlock bootloader if desired after OTA

Since I suggest everyone run Oxygen Updater anyways, I'm not gonna update OP. It'll give people more incentive to actually run the updater.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Coderedpl:
TMO converted to Global.

Took the .6.7 update in anticipation of the hotfix (6.8/6.9) but nothing showing past the .7 update yet 🙄

This is via Oxygen Updater too.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] RussianBear:
Thanks again for this guide. I've been running global on tmo 8t for almost a week now. Backed up my modem and persist stuff, just in case. No connectivity issues yet. Did not update to that buggy release either.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] twoxa:
Sounds like bit of a pain in the ass while latest tmo is 11.0.6.8 already
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
I mean, nobody is forcing anyone to convert. Different use cases for different people, the whole point of having unlocked bootloaders. TMO build uses OP Dialer, lack of dual sim, and other restrictions that some like myself find unacceptable, and running EU for me is fine while taking OTAs and updates like normal.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] SmileBigNow:
That's because it's only available as of now in IN with will be available in EU and global soon according to OP
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] yijinsa:
Quick question ,after convert to global ,is there any option at local upgrade ,and software update like screenshot are normal ?thanks
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] wahookasan:
Yup. Press the gear in the upper right of the update screen
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] mslezak:
Yeah but I did the ROM download for NA Op8T because Mint Mobile was missing tons of calls (straight to voicemail and texts not received). After changing to the normal unlocked NA software I haven't had any issues whatsoever. So it depends, are you a T-mobile user or an MVNO user? BTW I'm on CDMAless Verizon ATM it's slow... Just until I can port back to Mint Mobile which LTE runs quite fast. Not enough 5g network towers here to enable under the SIM settings, but it is great customer service and promo of buy 3 get 3 months free.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] yijinsa:
I mean after click the gear there is only one option beside the local upgrade? .also the check the upgrade just like stock pixel ? I am thinking that I made something wrong .thanks
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] wahookasan:
From what I'm gathering, no OTA currently. Only update option is full updates, not incremental. Does that answer your question?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] badpanda:
You would think that after three months we would have a smooth full pledge Global conversion with everything working including visual cosmetic flaws like the about section... I went back to TMobile version after latest horrible oneplus update but even so the conversion wasn't 100% smooth and sometimes will act weird.switched back had no issues and three TMobile updates one being almost 1GB and now we have AOD.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
No way, were not technically supposed to be converting from TMO to Global. Just because there's a way, doesn't mean OnePlus fully supports it, they allow it but aren't going out of their way to make it easy or 100 percent full compatible or proper. We're just luck we can.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] androidbuff123:
I converted mine from TMO to global version. I got the notification for the 11.0.6.8 OTA update on system settings. However it says installation failed. The message comes up after I click on download and install. It takes a few seconds and then it says install failed. It doesn't reboot the phone or anything like that. Since I'm unlocked and rooted, I was hoping to take the OTA update and before rebooting, install magisk in active slot to keep root. But I'm getting this install failed message. Is it because of the conversion? Can anyone help? Was anyone able to do the same successfully ?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] stmims1124:
If you're rooted, an update will not work without doing a local upgrade, for which you need the full 2GB+sized update full install file that is not yet available. A regular OTA won't work. Unfortunately the full firmware files for this NA/Global unlocked ROM have been extremely slow to get out to the public. OnePlus has been releasing firmware files for the EU & Indian ROMs, but for whatever reason the global ROM users such as yourself/myself/many on this thread are left waiting. So until that file gets dropped, the only way you're updating (short of converting to maybe the EU ROM) would be to completely unroot, relock your bootloader (which I believe will wipe the phone again), take the update...and even after you've updated, you won't be able to root I think, not without a way to pull the boot.img and patch it. If there's a way to pull the boot.img without the full ROM file, I'd love to be told how...I'd gladly accept being proven wrong here! So we're all sitting tight on 11.5.0.6, just awaiting the 11.5.0.8 file to drop, and hoping it doesn't take forever this time (it likely will). This is the reason this conversion guide was only for the EU ROM for some time, only updated once the full global ROM firmware file became available. Blah.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] androidbuff123:
Thank you. As far as pulling the boot.img, that's easy enough. I've done that before too. Here is a guide.

Successfully converted from T-Mo to Global. Thanks for the help and effort of everyone here! Didn't have the time to mess around with rooting so I relocked the bootloader (and of course, didn't read the part about flashing the full global before re-locking and got the corrupted system). One MSM later I did the conversion again and flashed the full OTA from the OP site.

I'm good now....

What's the verdict on the modem? Have people found the T-Mo modem to be better than global?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] RussianBear:
No noticeable difference here. I backed up mine just in case.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] stmims1124:
Why thank YOU. 😉
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] vinay427:
My converted-to-Global device finally received the OTA yesterday to 11.0.6.8 from 11.0.5.6. Oxygen Updater may have shown it a little sooner, but I preferred to wait and see whether the official OTA rollouts would actually show up on my converted device and it did. The upgrade itself went smoothly for me although the changes are minor.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] RussianBear:
Are you rooted or did you relock and then got the incremental?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] twoxa:
Hmmm looks like things have changed since 7 series. Not even sure if converting worth it anymore, getting good battery life on latest tmo. Just need root, but can't obtain it because I'm not sim unlocked and I'm not on tmo network, while phone is paid off.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] vinay427:
Re-locked bootloader and never rooted.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Grin59:
I am at a complete loss, I followed the instructions in the OP with the latest platform tools and such but I always boot right back into the t mobile rom even if I change slots and then flash again. And after I flash there's no way to local upgrade or push an update so I really don't know how anyone else is getting this to work.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lost Dog:
The problem has got to be between the chair and the keyboard...

Are you totally unlocked? Both from T-Mo and with the unlock_code.bin from OnePlus? Are you doing it manually or using a script (either linux or windows)? Any error codes showing during the process?

Have you tried a MSM to totally nuke everything then start from scratch? Might be the way to go... Use the MSM and you'll be totally stock and should not have any issues. I hosed my conversion by not flashing the full ROM before re-locking the boot loader. I used the MSM from this forum then did the conversion again without issue.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Grin59:
I am completely unlocked, I am using the flash file in the zip, no errors. And I use msm.

What exactly are you doing to have this flashed?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] RussianBear:
Are you sure you flash it fastbotd and not just fastboot? Do you see the flash commands succeed for each partition?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Grin59:
Yes I was in fastbootd, I am going to try once more. After it flashes I can't seem to get it to boot into the international rom, I can't push local updates in the t-mobile version even with root. But I am going to try once more and post what my fix was if I can find one
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] RussianBear:
Screenshot the flashing process. Just hit flash-all.bat

P.s. "If you are having trouble booting into fastbootd, and have a FC number at the bottom of the bootloader screen, you'll need to MSM to factory first."
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lost Dog:
Have you put some lambs blood on the doorpost?

What version of fastboot are you using? There may be some issues with older versions (or the minimal install). Sounds like you are using Windows... I did all mine (with the exception of the MSM) on linux Mint.

Here's the script I used to flash:

#!/bin/bash
fastboot flash product product.img
fastboot flash abl abl.img
fastboot flash aop aop.img
fastboot flash bluetooth bluetooth.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img

The only difference between the .bat script in the zip and this is the one I used does not have the

fastboot reboot bootloader" command. Maybe try deleting that line so you are not rebooting the bootloader before you boot to recovery and wipe everything.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Grin59:

If you have BL unlocked, boot the semi-working twrp image and run the following in a root adb shell:

Then you should adb pull them onto your computer and back it up somewhere safe.

Thanks for all the work here! I have hopefully a simple question.. I just got a oneplus 8T but it is running Hydrogen OS 11.0.0.1 and I want to switch it to the EU variant of Oxygen OS, but I don't want to root.

Am I right in thinking that I can download the 11.0.3.4 ROM you've linked to, and simply update with this file through the phone's Settings-Update option?

Thanks in advance for your help!!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
You should be able to just run local upgrade and be done.

Gang, quick question:

If we got the north american build and copy and pasted it into the msm tool, would that work for the global conversion?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] SmileBigNow:
Does anybody have the T-Mobile modem.img? If so can I just replace it with the EU modem that's in the payload.bin?

Oops...I meant to say the "global build.". :rolleyes:
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lost Dog:
Glad you got it working!!!! If you plan to lock the bootloader and not root then be sure to download the ~2.5G image file from the OnePlus website and flash that. If you don't, you'll corrupt your system and have to MSM again (ask me how I know....).
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Raza Qadri:
Does this guide also works for converting K2000 (Chinese variant) into EU/Global? Anyone tried it?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
You don't need to do everything in the OP, just download the EU or Global .zip and use local upgrade. Oxygen Updater will help with that
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Raza Qadri:
I can't do that since the phone is on higher version than currently available full OTA zip for international version.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lost Dog:
MSM to a lower version then do the upgrade to international?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Raza Qadri:
yeah since only 11.0.5.6 version is avaiable in full for international
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] androidbuff123:
Screw it. I just installed EU 11.0.6.9 using Oxygen updater and kept root too. So much for Global!! 😏
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Has anyone been stuck on the boot animation, not making it into the initial set up?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] RussianBear:
Have you gone into recovery and wiped everything?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
I just came back to say a second wipe fixed the problem. I wiped right after I first flashed and was then stuck on the One Plus boot animation. I rebooted to recovery wiped again. This resolved the problem. Maybe the first was not as effective. Either way, I am going through the set up process now.

EDIT: I do want to say, overall the process was simple and worked relatively flawless. I am taking the 11.0.6.8 OTA now.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] stmims1124:
So I gather you just installed it on to of the global ROM and did a direct magisk Install to both slots, keeping root and not having to wipe...correct?

Also, have you noticed any differences?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] androidbuff123:
Correct.

1. On oxygen updater changed mt phone to EU.

2. Under oxygen updater settings turned on advanced mode.

3. Downloaded full EU 11.0.6.9 through Oxygen updater

4. Went into device settings and update and choose local upgrade.

5. After upgrade did not reboot yet.

6. Magisk manager installed to inactive slot.

7. Reboot and then in EU firmware.

Battery life is amazing. Overnight it dropped only 1%. Otherwise it's smooth as ever. No big changes that are noticeable. I think battery life is probably the biggest.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] RussianBear:
Wow 1% over the whole night? Mine drops 1% every hour on global lol
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] stmims1124:
Thank you. I've toying with the idea of switching to EU but I couldn't risk a potential wipe during the work week (should've just done it in the 1st place). I know some people have said the radio stuff won't make a difference but that's really the only other thing that made me apprehensive. I'll make the switch.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] androidbuff123:
No risk of any wipe as far as I can see. It's a factory full rom compatible with the device, just supplied for a different region. There is no core level difference between the roms
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Did any one have Fingerprint reader issues with the Global ROM? Mine would always fail with "Fingerprint reader is dirty" error message. I had to MSM back to the T-Mobile firmware and it worked fine again.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] stmims1124:
You were right, it's working as though nothing has changed...aside from the version number. Thanks again.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] stmims1124:
I personally did not. My only issue was computer related, but once I switched computers everything ran fine and setup/use was normal.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jwarrior319:
You may have to setup fingerprints again after conversion
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lost Dog:
Once wiping the phone I re-enrolled my prints. Worked fine with no issues.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
I'll five it another try again. What version of the T-Mobile ROM were you on?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] wert38:
Does anyone have a working modem.img for T-Mobile ? My GM1915 shows the sim card but still says no service
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lost Dog:
These work for you? I dumped them before I converted to global.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] wert38:

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] ardax:
Does global have Google's Dialer/Messages or OnePlus? I'm tempted to switch over too.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lost Dog:
Did you try a MSM to nuke it from orbit (it's the only way to be sure).
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] brisseau:
I have the T-Mobile OnePlus 8T + 5G (KB2007)

I thought I'd followed all the steps in the OP but now (after the initial flashing and wiping everything) my phone boots (it takes a while) but once the OnePlus square logo comes on, the screen goes black. Can't see anything.

After a minute or two, it will reboot and do the same. I can press the power button and it gives me the option to "power off" or "reboot".

I can reboot into recovery and fastboot (not fastbootd) but can't get into EDL mode for the MSM tool.

What am I missing?

Update: I figured it out (by sheer luck). I unplugged the phone (I had to pick up my kid from practice) and the thing booted just fine. Let the mocking commence!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] braschlosan:
Can anyone confirm that standalone 5g (NR) is working when converted to international? especially 600mhz.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] braschlosan:
When its working properly your Sim Status under about phone will look like this. There will be no LTE connection active
