Viper works in legacy mode on EU. On tmo it works in compatibility mode.

Widevine is L1 on eu and L3 on tmo after root as well.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] knightsh:
Just curious. I came from the t-mobile OnePlus 8 and thought converting it to global was a pain. Been reading over this thread to see if I wanted to convert my 8t and I'm not ready yet. Why is this so different than the 8? The OP8 steps were straight forward but getting adb and fastboot d to work in each step was a hassle. But this is wild.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] SmileBigNow:
This way is just till the regular way MSM Tool way will be out, OP locked it up this time around even more then the previous years and smart people are currently working on a way around that blockage, but in the meantime if people are desperate enough to convert they have this way
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
It's really easy long as you are using the most current adb and fastboot and can use the payload tool. It's literally putting all the files in the correct folder and running a script. I was able to walk another user through it using email.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
Yep, no new development on global, msm, or to make this process any easier. It's just 8 steps though really :good:
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
I posted some tips on how to get to flash properly, I think the biggest problem is not using the most current fastboot.exe and that needs to be put into the payload extract folder along with the script
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
Thanks. Yeah I already had that in the OP. I bolded it just now to make it clear. I also added a link to platform tools.

Is there anyway, once rooted on the EU Firmware, to push updates without unrooting the phone?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
Yes, just do local upgrade. You can download full OTAs using oxygen updater. No unrooting needed, but you will lose root on after OTA unless you magisk inactive slot
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] we_tu_lo:
Could u do magisk direct install after? Or do u need to pull the boot.img?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
After you install the OTA, but before rebooting, go to Magisk -> Install -> Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)

Guys, question: Say I convert to the EU firmware, then in my build.prop I say my phone is the 2005 (global/NA) and I proceed to update, wouldn't I get the OTA for the global/na essentially converting it to global?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
No. Assuming that even works, you'll end up with the incremental update since the full OTA not exist yet. If tried to install incremental EU -> Global who knows what'll happen, probably nothing good.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] sameog:
gang, can I/should I use the kebabt to kebab package to try and convert since the NA version is only an incremental? NOTE: Not trying to be pest on this thread, just throwing out ideas. We are all working towards a common goal. =)

You are welcome to try. I haven't been successful with any kind of direct image conversion yet. You will probably lose all data, and have to MSM back in the worst case.

Was you able to convert to the eu build using this method I'm still stuck at the waiting for any devices even though i know everything is up to date
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] sameog:
Hey there!

No way. Please don't use the "kebabt to kebab" method. It's a no-go. I just tried it. Are you familiar with payload dumper? It's written in python.

NOTE:B If not, I understand. Python threw me a mental curve ball for a day. If still interested, PM me. I will do my best to get you to the EU build. First things first: Is your bootloader unlocked?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Exathi:
Yes it's unlocked and ready to go!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
I already answered your PMs from earlier today. You need to make sure your drivers are up to date as well, since it's obvious your computer is not detecting fastboot or fastbootd on your phone. As some other people also suggested, try using a different cable, different port on your computer, and use usb2 instead of usb3.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Exathi:
I'll recheck everything thanks
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
Oppo is OnePlus' parent company, there are programs that can extract oppo flash boot images from their msm programs and ROMs maybe we could use those to extract what we need from the OnePlus MSM tools.

I can confirm that my zip works for converting to EU/BA firmware.

super.img is supposed to be that big.

Global/AA is difficult because we do not have the ota zip for it, the super.img in that is from AA though so you can try not flashing system or system_ext and it may boot to global but it may not be able to ota.

It's not that, you just need to be prepared, I think someone uploaded the payload.bin already extracted and ready to flash.

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

The payload extraction gives you the files to flash using fastbootd, I'm sure if someone had access to a file hosting site they could just host the files already extracted into a downloadable zip file.

was anyone able to pull the modem.img from the latest t-mobile 11.0.1.3 rom ?

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] badpanda:
So if I want to just convert to the EU that apparently is the only available right now but I do not want to root what are the steps to take I also would like to lock bootloader after successfully doing the conversion?

Thanks in advance
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
I did it xactely that. Once you flash the EU ROM, don't bother setting up the phone yet with apps or user info. Run the new System Update, it will be the full 2GB update. It should be OxygenOS 11.0.4.5KB05BA. Once the update is finished. Reboot into Fastboot, NOT fastbootd bit regular Fastboot. Then the command

Fastboot oem lock

Then lock the bootloader
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] badpanda:
Would you mind sharing the steps you did exactly as you did that worked for you to convert the t-mobile variant ? Thanks!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] badpanda:
Would this be a full fledged conversion meaning it would work exactly as if I bought directly from oneplus website would take automatic ota? And behave just like an unlocked international op8t?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] sameog:
At this point, a few things are "broken." For example, the attached screen shot. The only text you that will be display is how much ram and internal storage comes with. Everything will say "none" since the eu build isn't native (meaning made for) for this phone.

I would use oxygen updater for those updates.

I hope this helps. =)
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] KMHartford:
so why do you recommend I msm back to t-mobile rom instead of converting. To me the on the t-mobile rom the mobile connection and wifi seem quicker with the t-mobile modem. I want to try the modem on the eu rom to see how it works out. but trying to figure out how to pull the modem from 11.0.1.3
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
Once you get the modem.img you "should" be able to just flash the one file through fastbootd

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
Nope, only the TMO msm tool will work, if your not going to root, you can relock the bootloader to get L1, if you do root there's probably a way. I re locked myself. And I am back at L1.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Sheradrax:
You locked after conversion? I'm new to the OP family. Last device I had to deal with fastboot and unlocking bootloader's was my PH-1, so sorry for asking about something most already know.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
After the conversion do not set up the phone, go to system update, the phone will download and install the full 2gb update once the update had finished down loading and installing, reboot back into fastboot, NOT fastbootd, regular fastboot, and issue the fastboot command "fastboot oem lock" then choose to lock the bootloader. this will lock the bootloader. If your phone tried to boot and says it's corrupt, just unlock the boot loader again.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Sheradrax:
Good to know. Thank you. Is the screen saying the bootloader is unlocked and the device may be corrupted normal after the unlock? With my PH-1 that meant something messed up and I had to fix and reflash stock again.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] awr128:
It's definitely not normal. If you relock after the conversion it will give you the corrupted message, you have to do it after you install the first OTA update
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Sheradrax:
I haven't relocked my bootloader and I've done the ota. It started right after I unlocked my bootloader I think.

There are some people who seem to lose L1 after conversion, and some that keep L1 like me. You can always try restarting from MSM, going to EU 11.0.3.4, and upgrade from there. That's the path I took and kept L1
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Whoareyou:
do not relock your bootloader after cross flashing you will end up with the device corrupted message, and have to msm restore, even if you take the full OTA and lock.

Instead of msm, just relock the bootloader, you don't need to reflsdh or msm back.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
Just updated the guide. Now features a single download that includes the flashing scripts and no need to payload extract. Manual steps still included.

Drivers and fastboot must still be up to date, bootloader unlocked obviously.

And FFS stop worrying about losing wireless bands. You are not changing bands by flashing a modem.img. Adding or removing wireless bands in the US is illegal without FCC approval.

I already have the device may be corrupted warning. It goes away when I lock the device, but I can't get it to go away since I first unlocked.

It goes away if relock after the ota. Does that warning just always show up if the bootloader is unlocked? Or can we get it to go away with it unlocked and rooted?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
Yes, the warning is there as long as the bootloader is unlocked. It's essentially warning you that the bootloader is unlocked and it's not verifying the boot image to be signed.
