I'm guessing I bricked my phone...?

I followed the instructions. It seemed to be working, files started to load, then it disconnected.

is there any chance of recovering?

Right now, it's just a black/off screen. Can't tell if it's on or off, but the phone still feels a bit warm, so I think it's still on. I tried holding the power button, but again, I can't tell if it's doing anything.

-update-

I let the battery drain fully and tried it with another computer and it worked

Will this 8T method work for OP8 (T-mobile)?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Hey-Hi:
Reset your network settings and that should do the trick...

Otherwise look on Google for any updates related to your mobile provider (I.e. I presume TMobile ).

I had text issue with tmobile months back and spoke with 3 reps... None of them knew why... I just randomly came across the update and boom did the trick
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] USSENTERNCC1701E:
I'd recommend including the drivers in the zip. And maybe instructions on how to boot the phone back up if you get stuck in edl mode. For me, that was hold power and plug into AC, then when the charging indicator lit up, power on normally.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] allenjthomsen:
Just a few things i will input...

1. If you dont have sim unlock you can after flashing the msm unlock oem unlock via these commands in adb

adb shell

pm uninstall --user 0 com.qualcomm.qti.uim

You will need to be outside of developer options before inputting this command then go into it and you should be able to toggle oem unlocking

2. If you want a fast way to unlock the bootloader use TOOL ALL IN ONE and select unlock and normal device and you will be able to see a menu asking if you want to bootloader unlock the firmware.

3. then you can root device ect..

In my opinion i would say make sure your sim unlocked beforehand so you dont have to do step 1 to enable oem unlocking.

I would also update to the latest firmware after flashing the EU firmware via the system update menu .

then i would root and install twrp then make a backup of the current system before flashing roms/kernels.

can you please work on a similar msm tool for oneplus 8?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
No, I don't have a 8 and preliminary tests showed it's different, so I need one to even get started.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] aviator.OO7:
can you please source it for.some while? there tons of users who are waiting for such an msm ..it would be a big big help man ... i would have sent you mine but we live in diff countries sadly
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] allenjthomsen:
There is already a msm for the 8 to goto global all you guys need is the op to provide a fix for dual sim for your device.

@aviator.OO7
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] aviator.OO7:
msm to global firmware? can you link that please? ...is the fix in works ..do u have any idea about it

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] aviator.OO7:
the msm listed here rolls back the phone to old version of tmo firmware not global one :/ if somehow device verification can be bypassed and eu rom could be pushed i believe we will get working dual sims
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] allenjthomsen:
Photo attached where you flash global, its in the steps i am unable to flash that from that forum so idk what works or not. All i know us that there is an option to flash as for dual sim ask OP to make or provide fix.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] emirul:
how can I revert back to t-mobile version?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] allenjthomsen:
Do you have a full backup done through msm.

If so restore param and persist then try to msm back to stock tmobile.

If that doesnt work flash lineage os for 8t then msm back to stock.

If either of those dont work then you may be stuck on 9r rom like other tmobile users said.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] emirul:
I didn't backup anything. So im stuck with it then.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] emirul:
So how can I flash the 9r rom?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] allenjthomsen:
Just flash stock tmobile and you should be fine

My Netflix won't work after the conversion to EU firmware via MSM tool. Any ideas? It says that Netflix needs updated and when I select "OK", it opens Play Store and says no update available. I've tried clearing app cache/data and clearing cache on the phone with no luck.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] allenjthomsen:
Goto apkmirror.com and find updated version and install
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] scorpio76r:
Hello, I just picked up two oneplus 8 5G IN2017 phones. They both boot with Tmobile software. Have two Tmobile apps. On the back they have sprint stickers which include the imei numbers. A phone call to oneplus confirmed that they are sprint phones. My question is when I tried to use this tool I got a image mitch match error. Can this tool be used on my devices or should I return them to Amazon?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
No, the 8T MSM is not compatible with the 8.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] scorpio76r:
Thanks for your reply. I just returned them today via Ups. When my refund comes, I will be adding a few more bucks to it to grab two 8 pro's. I don't think that the 8 pro is carrier locked and, hopefully I will just need to fastboot unlock it to unlock the Bootloader for root. Correct me if I am wrong.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
Correct, but you may want to be in the 8/8 pro forum, so you are aware of things like the persist.img finger print issue
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Gibberish:
Questions for those who are using two sims after the conversion to EU firmware: After the conversion, do the two sim slots get different imei numbers? If not, can one still use two different sims from the same (T-Mobile MVNO) provider on the phone? Thanks.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
They share the same IMEI. T-Mobile doesn't lock device access out by IMEI. It checks for a valid SIM and checks to make sure the IMEI isn't blacklisted It doesn't care if there are multiple of the same IMEI on their network.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Gibberish:
Thanks for a quick reply! That is useful information for me.

I guess that there may be providers that do not like two sims sharing the same imei on their own network. Not a problem for me at this time. Could I run into problems if I try to use a SIM from T-Mobile and another from another provider (either US or a foreign one when I am traveling) ? That is, are there providers out there that can check and block the usage of the same imei even if the the two sims are using different providers? Thanks again.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
You will run into issues if you have two different SIM's with the same IMEI on Sprint and US Cellular at a minimum. I haven't had any issues roaming on to Bell and Telus in Canada with the same device and same two SIM's.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Gibberish:
Thanks. Useful information.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] GamingDoggo:
Can I use this msm tool to get my tmo 8T back to oos from a custom rom?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
Yes, but it'll install EU OOS. If you want complete stock, look for the T-Mobile MSM
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] GamingDoggo:
Cool! Yeah the EU OOS is what I wanted. Thanks a bunch!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Danny1976:
This information should be in the main tutorial. It should be included after the TMO to EU rebranding tutorial. Most people after the conversation want to unlock bootloader and the OEM unlock it's grayed out in the Dev area. I think the mayority of people doing this tutorial have bootloader locked.

Even the main tutorial states that the option cannot be grayed out and you cannot unlock it. "Furthermore, if you are still SIM locked, you cannot unlock the bootloader, as the "OEM Unlocking" toggle in dev settings will still be greyed out."
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] allenjthomsen:
I agree but owner hasnt responded so its here for other people once op responds it should be added
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Danny1976:
I am glad I kept searching, because I was about to flash back to stock and call TMO to see if I could get it unlocked. The tutorial says it's not possible and most people would just take his word and not look further. Glad I found your post and was able to unlock bootloader. Thank you.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Personally, I don't feel the need to unlock the bootloader on mine but I did have T-Mobile SIM unlock my device before I flashed it. I did the same with my 2 OnePlus 7 Pro's. Even my old T-Mobile Sidekick's are SIM unlocked. Having your device SIM unlocked just makes it easier to sell or give to someone else when you get a new device.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Danny1976:
I agree, but that is not an option when you are still making payments on the device. Most people who are on T-Mobile finance their phones. It makes total sense that if the device is paid off... that you get it sim unlocked.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Not necessarily. My 8T and 9 are still on EIP's and both unlocked. Just ask politely and if the rep you get doesn't want to do it. Try another rep. Try the T-Force Team via Facebook or Twitter.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
OTA's are based on the firmware you are running. If you are running the global firmware, you will get OTA's for global.

Good to hear that. Thank you.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] weirdg:
I just noticed my phone failed the SafetyNet test after I followed this process and then installed the NA version of OOS.

What should I expect to not work? Is there anyway to get my phone to pass the SafetyNet test if it's not rooted and the bootloader is still locked?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] weirdg:
Nvm... I downloaded the update from Oxygen Updater and did the local upgrade again. Then I performed a factory reset, and everything was good. My phone passes the SafetyNet check now.

so pls help me.

sorry for my poor english.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
The answer doesn't change by posting the same question in a different thread. The MSM Tool does not alter the lock state of the device. A third party unlocking service would be your best option.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
Updated this guide to include bootloader unlock for SIM locked devices. Please let me know if it doesn't work.

Is this a guide for using any SIM card you want in your device? How can I get rid of the T-Mobile GSM lock? Can I use any SIM card apart from T-Mobile after following the process in the first post?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Flashing and changing the firmware does not alter the SIM lock status. If your SIM is locked to T-Mobile, then it will remain locked to T-Mobile unless you SIM unlock the device before flashing. You need to be on the T-Mobile firmware version to remove the SIM lock.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Abdülcelil:
And how can I now if I'm on that firmware? How can I unlock it? Do I need a physical TMobile SIM card? I have an 8T in my hand in Turkey, it is a T-Mobile SIM locked phone. I don't know the first owner of the phone either if it's helpful
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
T-Mobile's SIM Unlock Policy is very specific.

SIM Unlock Policy | Unlock Your Mobile Wireless Device | T-Mobile

Learn how to unlock your wireless mobile device for use on other carriers (formerly SIM Unlock). See device compatibility and unlock requirement.

You might want to look at a third party unlocking service online or at a local cell phone repair shop.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] The Fume:
just got a brand new 8t from oneplus direct. i really wanted the unlocked version but they were out of stock for the new year and so i ordered the tmo version with my old trade in and the extra 30$ off i couldnt pass it up was 270$. of course now i see the unlocked ones are back in stock again. damn. anyway i already got the sim permanent unlocked (through a friend there it was easy to do) and have the token for the bootloader if i need it.

can i ask what do i need to do to simply convert this to a unlocked version of the phone for now. i am in north america and rarely travel out of the country currently. trying to read all this but have major eye issues so its slow going for me. i can still send it back but is it worth it when its already sim unlocked and down the line ill prob flash some custom stuff anyway?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
It depends on what yo

It all depends on what you want to do with it. If you just want to convert it. You can use the MSM Tool to convert it without the need for the bootloader token and without unlocking the bootloader. If you want to use TWRP and root it, then you will want to unlock the bootloader.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] The Fume:
for now i just want to convert it to the normal rom. i may mess with custom ones later. which should i choose in your opinion between international and eu versions? appreciate it very much!

also once i get the unlock token from one plus can i simply save that somewhere for whenever i want to use it or is it only good for the one time? new to messing with oneplus phones not new to flashing and custom rom's though. can it be reused if it gets locked again or should i do the hack instead to unlock it that way?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
The EU version is the most stable. I would personally recommend using the MSM Tool to convert to the EU. I have been running it since October and haven't had any issues. If you convert to EU but then decide you want to switch to the NA Global. All you have to do is use a full update image from somewhere like Oxygen Updater to download and use the Local Update feature on your device to convert from EU to NA. Regardless of which firmware you use, it doesn't affect the bands, so you will still have all of the T-Mobile bands regardless if which firmware you choose.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] The Fume:
awesome info. one question will it pass checks so it can use play store and things like netflix and download updates after this? ill prob play with oos before i try out any of the custom roms for a while. i love a super stripped down android without much junk but a lot of people like oos on the 8t so i do want to try it out. is the na global basically the international version?

not sure what im doing wrong but i get the error Automatic Detection of DDR failed can anyone help with that? i dont get it ive tried everything i just cant get past that error. tried different computer different cable different ports. cant figure out what the issue is. damn
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] The Fume:
figured it out. i did not realize i had to turn OFF oem unlock before doing this. once i turned that off it worked fine. not sure if it was just for me but oem unlock was what was causing the ddr error.

are there any real differences between the global vs eu?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
It will pass checks and Netflix and everything else I have streamed from the PlayStore can plays in 1080p.

I like to use ADB to debloat the OS. There is always some, like Google Maps, Docs, and other annoying things that I don't like having installed and can't always be removed with jist a couple of taps. The digital wellbeing and ZENmode are other things I remove as well. There is a thread around somewhere that has lists of apps that can be safely removed. Even when I installed though, they are still contained in the factory image stored on your device though.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] The Fume:
if someone goes to the eu to global can they easily go back again to eu? or do you have to go back to stock tmobile then over to eu then to global again?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
You can go back the same way, just by using Local Update to the EU from NA Global.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] The Fume:
perfect thank you. ill give eu a go for a bit and see how it goes.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] The Fume:
can one use the normal msm tool once this is converted to the eu rom? or being its a tmobile variant out of the box do i still now have to use the tmobile msm?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
No, because it is dependent on the hardware ID, which is preserved after cross-flash ing. Your KB2007 will still be a KB2007 with the available bands for that device regardless of what you flash.

Hi Team,

I just bought OP 8T from OnePlus directly 2 days back. I wanted to make it sim Unlock ( tried contacting T mobile and OP both attempts were unsuccessful). I came across this xda post. Spent several hours for the phone to get detected in EDL mode ( fixed drivers) flashed EU ROM successfully Was able to see Dual Sim. Tried putting Cricket mobile, not able to see any network. The main intention of the device is to use it in India, Any thoughts on how to proceed further.

Thanks
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
T-Mobile will only remove the SIM lock on a device for customers that meet their SIM Unlock Policy criteria. More than 40 days use on the network for postpaid and a year of refills for prepaid. You might want to look into a third party unlocking service. The device needs to be on the T-Mobile firmware to remove the SIM lock.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] bhargavshastry:
Hi thank you for the reply. I believe that policy is for devices bought from t mobile on contract? This device was bought in full from OP. I was parsing through the comments on this thread, audience reported it worked on at and T or any other GSM carrier. Is this because cricket is CDMA? Currently don't have another major GSM carrier to test out.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
The policy is for any T-Mobile device, whether paid in full at the time of purchase or paid monthly through EIP, purchased directly from T-Mobile, the manufacturer, or third party retailer, etc.

The NA, EU, and other firmware for the 8T work on the T-Mobile version. Pretty much everyone knows the device has to be SIM unlocked before flashing, which is mentioned plenty of times in any flashing thread.
