Ok so I want to switch to the international rom but if I am understanding right I'll have to unlock my bootloader which will trip the widevine L1. Can I relock my bootloader after?

Once the MSM Tool is patched, it will convert your device to International software. If you keep the bootloader locked after you flash with the MSM Tool you will have L1.

I updated my post above,C567 US version can be locked by using erecovery, someone here confirmed he repaired his phone and locked the bootloader using erecovery.
So maybe try erecovery before unlocking and see if it work for you.

No,you need unlocked bootloader to be able to flash twrp and root.
I have the TMobile us gm1915 op7pro and my current firmware is 9.5.6 gm31cb
If I follow the root guides here on xda and I download OOS latest on their site is 9.5.4gm21aa and I use magisk on my phone to patch the boot.img and then root that way, will it erase my phone to where I have to start from scratch like a new phone?
To root you have to unlock the bootloader first. Unlocking the bootloader wipes everything.

So I can't follow this guide?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/guide-root-oneplus-7-pro-patched-boot-t3931205
It said to download the latest OOS and then just patch the boot.img then fastboot from it, it didn't say anything about the bootloader?

I re-read that article, I see it needs the bootloader unlocked UGH
Hi guys, I rooted my op8t but I haven't installed custom recovery yet. I wanted to use cyberpunk modules(my phone version is KB2001 INDIA 12GB 256GB). After installing it I felt some flaws and I was thinking of flashing it over my secondary phone(Le max2) and keeping op8T as stock as possible. When I asked about this issue to my friends, they suggested not to relock the bootloader as it will corrupt the persist.img and I will loose the fingerprint unlock. Is there any way I can revert to full stock with bootloader locked without any problems?
Use the MSM tool. It'll convert it to stick and relock the bootloader. I have the US TMobile version and I have unlocked and relocked (when reverting to stock using MSM tool) ans I did not have any issues with fingerprint or any other issues.

I heard it will give problem to persist file resulting in fp scanner failure. I can understand what you are saying. I am bit worried as I installed some modules on magisk. Will it be ok?.
Also, I'm believing in you. Can u please tell me the procedure on how to do so
Greetings Poco users, I just decided to relock my bootloader, but from my experience, on my last Redmi 7 when I did it, my phone turned to "Lock Mode" and after all I had to unlock it again. Is it completely alright, or you have any idea how I can do it?
Thank you in advance.

I mean you can re-lock without worry as long as you are running the stock OS and configs. If you try the same while running a custom ROM it would just hard brick your device. As suggested by the user above, Mi Flash Tool (the one you use to flash fastboot ROM's) has an option to lock the bootloader as well, very simple process.

Xiaomi flash tool and Miflash unlock are two different software.
When you relock the bootloader with Miflash tool you flash a rom and relock.
Miflash unlock as its name suggests is only used for unlocking.
You can use Mi Flash tool with any Miui rom by relocking or not.
obviously does not work with an AOSP rom.

You can install the OTA update from here. Just follow the instructions Google provided at the top of the page and you should be all updated. It's only the full images that require the bootloader to be unlocked.
Just go look up factory images for Pixel phones. You can install firmware right from the web browser. You don't need to have root. Root is optional.
Do you mean without an unlocked bootloader? Root is not the same thing and does not determine how you can flash firmware.
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can use the Android Flash Tool. If your bootloader is not unlocked, downgrading is impossible.

This only works if OEM Unlocking is enabled in Developer Options.

@Albi Lukaj, Please be aware that unlocking your bootloader WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE AND RETURN IT TO STOCK!!!
If that is not preferable, you might try applying the OTA like stated in Post #2, but I am not sure if it works downgrading a version (it probably doesn't)...
