There is literally nothing on rooting this phone. Can this thing even be rooted? Mine has no OEM unlock I don't even see a twrp file for the phone. Nothing. Any help?
Mate, sorry to say, but your bootloader is locked.

Yeah. Standard issue policy for AT&T and Verizon. And just for the interest (I know it's the offtopic), which CPU does AT&T's version of J727 use?

The Exynos processor is what ATTs J727A runs

I found a tutorial of how to root G9300 or G9350 (Chinese variant) on a Chinese forum (http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=8278857) and quite some people already did that.
How is this possible?? I though all SD820 devices are locked pretty tight? Does this mean US variants also have a chance?

The chinese ones don't have a locked bootloader, their carriers aren't as nazi'ish as ours.

I see. Thanks for clarifying!
I thought it was that they have an app that unlocks it. CROM or something.

Great. Root/TWRP/all that comes with it is out for the LG V20... H918
but anyone have news, or better, ever try to root the Canadian Version ? (H915)
I'm SOOOO frustrated with Mobile Manufacturer. All I want is a powerfull phone, with the possibility to add storage (sdcard), change the damm battery and the possibility to install custom roms.
But it seems the word out there these days is to avoid those 3 things as much as possible... ARG!!!
Not even the AT&T and Verizon variants have their bootloader unlocked and rooted yet. So it's too early to be frustrated.
Any news on LG-H915?

Also waiting! Had a Note 7 and G5 canadian No Roots for them either!

I just remember there was someone on here who had the H915 and was on AT&T. Not entirely sure why there would be two different models - but at least the vast majority seem to be H910.

Could it be based on the fact he's on a different network? I thought by rooting, theres a chance to lose the network unlock? I understand he's using the H915 on Rogers (similar frequency to AT&T I think), so could that be the issue?
Curious as to why the service isn't working if the AT&T variant is working, when supposodly H915 and H910 are "the same".

Maybe that use Different bands. Im not sure. He hasn't even been on in 2 days so I haven't been able to get another update from him.

That's very unfortunate he hasn't been on for 2 days. I would test myself, but this is my daily driver, and I have no dev experience to debug issues that may araise.
Thank you for figuring out how to root, and unlock the BL regardless.
We hope the Dev of the h915 gets back online to provide us any updates on the progress to unlock the BL and root this model. It would be very nice to get them get them ready before Christmas day... but well, I guess we are gonna have to wait a bit longer. I know that most of us promise a nice donation if we get there anytime soon. This won't be forgotten for sure.
While root is nice and this is my first device I've used that doesnt have root remember to weigh the pros and cons. With no current method to revert you may lose out on any future otas and be stuck forever on your current android version. Personally I am in no rush although i am curious about it working for the 915. If there ever is a revert method i would be more inclined to try rooting
i actually find it a positive thing to stay in a known good version of android where things works.
I've noticed with each never version of android, things keeps getting locked down more and more.
I never went for Apple because of its lock down policy, and now Google is slowly becoming another Apple, trying to lock down the phones so people have no freedom of choice to tinkle around with their ROM, just all in the name of keeping Dev happy, because they claim when user has too much power, then their work is not safe. (by that they mean they can't milk money dry to the end users, if end users have the ability to hack)

Well......I mean there's no way to use it. (in America at least)
Real or not. We can't really use it...
no bootloader unlock though.
Pretty clear in the first statement in red in the OP.
Chinese version only...this is nothing new as historically the chinese snapdragons have not had locked bootloaders.
Means absolutely nothing for the US and CAN snapdragon devices which unfortunately are locked down and will likely never see TWRP.

I just read the article on XDA it didn't say TWRP was only available for Chinese version but it did say Chinese snapdragons are the ones with unlocked boots....leaving it no use for American versions of snapdragons....but it seems we have TWRP if by some miracle our boots could be unlocked....but.....lol unless it's too early and my eyes need to be wiped and I read wrong please forgive me lol

Without a locked bootloader yes twrp is easily possible..but i very much doubt the s8 bootloaders will ever get unlocked. Plus since the exynos is easily available and never locked there is really no huge demand to bother with the snapdragon.

Thanks for setting the record straight.
Is it time to start guessing what the URL on https://s3.amazonaws.com/oneplussupport/ will be?
My best guess was https://s3.amazonaws.com/oneplussupport/OP7P/guacamole_21.O.07_190512.rar but no luck.
Edit: Found the EU one! https://s3.amazonaws.com/oneplussupport/OP7Pro/guacamole_21_E.08_190515.rar
OnePlus is definitely using this as the root directory: https://s3.amazonaws.com/oneplussupport/OP7Pro/
Does this mean we can unlock the T-Mobile variant with this?

Yes, this program will literally transform the T-Mobile variant into the international version you can buy from OnePlus directly. There is literally no difference between the two, you get the same OTAs as international version just as if you bought it from OnePlus

Has a password, though.
But now we know the filename. This one is apparently for 9.5.4 on the EU model (GM1913). Can't find one for the other builds. Maybe it works for US/Global/India.

I believe the 6t tmobile version after the conversion could get over the air update. U have to.inject the updates manually. Quote me if im wrong but that was one of thw reason why i didnt convert my 6t.

U should have no issues with OTA, the tool turns ur phone back to as it was in the box, it relock bootloader, u roots and stock recovery, now there are some out there that could be modded to not delete userdata and no relock bootloader which means no incremental OTAs

No but we can at least unlock the bootloader on the T-Mobile version
Permanent SIM unlock can probably be done with fastboot commands after a bootloader unlock.
I should have the US (OnePlus Store, not T-Mobile) MSMdownloadtool tomorrow, with the password. Stay tuned on that front.

Thats only thing I want.
I wont have the tMobile one im in the UK and getting 5G variant and it might be sim locked but want to unlock bootloader and not wait 6 months before they give me unlock code.
I just called OP for the literally the 10th time today.
I told them I don't care about my warranty.. I just want the msm tool and unlock. Bin generator. They said that their technical support team is working on it. They also said they will be sending me an email with either the link for the MSM tool either today or tomorrow.
I doubt they will just give a token generator out but once we Hve our hands on the msm tool. We can sort some things out.
