OP 7 PRO from China - any problems in the future? - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

As it stands right now, I can buy 6/128 for less then $500. Looks pretty good to me. Not as kewl as 8/256, but still.
Is there any bad consequences (aside from absence of warranty obviously) of that move? I already read that I can flash GM1917 OOS over GM1910 H2OS. That's great. Anything else? Any issues with bands in North America for Chinese 7 PRO?
Does someone knows if bootloader on GM1910 variant is unlocked?
Thank you

No issue as far as i can se. Unlocked my bootloader too. GM1910 8/256.

So, has your bootloader been locked originally? From where you bought your phone?
Are the phones exactly the same inside? Would I have any issues flashing ROMs?

Originally it was locked with hydrogen os. Flashed oxygen os without any issues using the local upgrade method. It's exactly the same inside.

How you unlocked the bootloader? OEM unlock and then fast boot OOS?

[Q] How to flash ColorOS

Bit of an unusual one this but how do I flash ColorOS onto my OnePlus One?
My phone originally was the Chinese model so I'd like to flash the version of ColorOS that ships with the Chinese model, if possible.
Thanks!

Some unlocked phones weren't unlocked properly and actually Sprint models. Essential fixed this recently which caused those phones to be relocked.
Best bet is to get a hold of Sprint or wherever you bought it from. Sounds like that unlock "bug" was there for a very long time.

not sure why you're still asking a month later.
You have a different issue. Your phone is not sprint locked. Your phone is not sim locked, period.
Again, the modemst images used to unlock spr variants were dumped from openus devices.

TMO variant doubts (bootloader)

I already have my code to unlock the bootloader but I have several doubts.
What ROM model of op7p can I install to make it international?
Once the bootloader is open, can it be closed again?
I ask because it is said that Drm and Google Play support may be broken if the bootloader remains open
Is there any extra advantage to switching to the global ROM instead of staying on the other than the updates?

Faster updates. Faster updates to q. Better camera support. Better rom support. And yes you can lock your bootloader back

TMO to Global Flash?

Has anyone had any luck flashing Tmobile's OP8 with the firmware from the global model? When I had my OP7Pro, I recall flashing the global firmware to improve the overall experience, as TMO is TERRIBLE when it comes to updates. Is this even feasible with 5G?
And before you ask why I didn't just buy the global model... I am on EIP on Tmobile.

If I am correct; People are waiting for one plus to fix the IMEI not accepted issue on the one plus unlock bootloader site; after which people will start unlocking and reflashing the global version. I am waiting at least.
That's correct, without an unlocked bootloader were stuck atm lol
Understood, thanks guys.

OnePlus fixed the invalid IMEI message on their website so now you can submit your unlock code and get your unlock token then you can unlock your bootloader, a way to flash is being worked on ???

It's not locked. Okay? Every one plus has been able to be bootloader unlocked? How is it locked down? You're incorrect and wrong. Y'all "should have bought from one plus" love budding in not knowing anything. We knew what we was getting into. We have our phones unlocked and now we can flash global version and it took two weeks. Okay?
Do you have the Karen version or something Vio?!
Hey guys TMO OP 8 noob here. I rooted LG, Note 3 and Note 5. EIP too. Checking threads for updates and hope to work this thing. Thanks for the and I'll be watching!

So flash the global then flash back the TMobile modem? Just want to be sure about that. Could you write the steps out or point me to a post with the steps? I'm familiar with the one plus one had that be phone for years. But I'm new to the whole a/b partition phones. I have unlocked my TMobile oneplus 8. I've been kind of waiting to flash anything because I haven't been able to find much on flashing the TMobile version

unlock bootloader, flash TWRP, make a full back up, also you should back up persist just in case your fingerprint stops working, then flash the global firmware fastboot ROM, then flash TWRP restore the MODEM ONLY from the full backup and root etc

It's the same for every regional version, you just need to use fastboot and enter the command "fastboot oem unlock"
If you're still a beginner I recommend you watch videos of how to do that. But if you don't have time here is an all in one tool : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8/how-to/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t4103511
I have a OnePlus 6 (Intl version) before, I have unlocked bootloader on that. Just want to make sure the CN version can unlock bootloader easily before I buy one.
