Hi, so I had converted my T-Mobile OP7 to the international version. I then contacted T-Mobile and got my phone unlocked. After that I updated my OP7 to Android 10 open beta yet somehow my phone became networked locked. I tried everything from trying to use the T-Mobile unlock app again to resetting the entire phone. Still no dice. Will I have to downgrade or are there any solutions to this? Thanks in advance

Well you have to downgrade in the first place to use the T-Mobile unlock app, if it isn't unlocking your phone that's because the line is locked.
Try and download device unlock for pixel only from the playstore and see if that works.
flash back to Tmobile ROM and unlock via the Tmobile unlock app. thats what i had too do

So im switching to tmobile from ATT and I was able to order a One Plus 7, However I just found out that the phone is locked down to tmobile which is fine, however I see tmobile version is always behind in updates. I saw that I can pay off the phone and unlock the bootloader, which I can then install the updates from One Plus website, However will unlocking my boot loader via Tmobile will that break the security which causes Netflix and such to be 480P?

Unlocking the bootloader on any newer OnePlus phone takes Widevine from L1 to L3. Meaning no hd on Netflix. Doesn't matter if it's the TMobile 7 pro, or the one directly from OnePlus.

Thanks for the info, now if I ordered the phone directly from One Plus that comes with the bootloader unlocked would that also mean no HD on Netflix?

All OnePlus phones sold are with locked bootloader. By unlocking any version you lose the HD compatibility with Netflix etc.

The difference with the bootloader unlock between the TMobile version, and the version from OnePlus is you don't have to Sim unlock the device directly from OnePlus. You can unlock the bootloader immediately after unboxing it.
With the TMobile version you have to get a sim unlock, and then apply for a bootloader unlock token from OnePlus which takes 7 days. After 7 days they send you an email with an unlock.bin.

Thanks for the info. My biggest thing is I am just hoping to get updates faster. From my understanding tmobile is always much slower with updates? Someone said OnePlus is already on the 2nd or 3rd update and tmobile only has the day one update?
hi so I have the OnePlus 7 pro and the OEM unlock option is greyed out so I checked to see if my bootloader status was unlocked but it wasn't so idk what to do any ideas would be very much appreciated thanks for reading

^This. You need to sim unlock before converting to international, or you will be unable to unlock the bootloader and have OEM unlocking. At least until they fix the MSM to be able to skip sim unlocking.

Yes, you can try it that way. If the device is already fully paid off you can also simply contact Tmobile and they will be able to sim unlock it for you already as well, or if you haven't paid off and want to chance it, you can try contacting them on twitter or through the tmobile app and try to get the customer service rep to unlock it. Though if you haven't paid it off it's probably easier and faster to DM the OP from that thread.

I have the international version and am also stuck with the greyed out OEM Unlocking option. My bootloader is also still locked. Any help would be very much appreciated. I have tried using fastboot to oem unlock but I get this error
FAILED (remote: Please enable OEM unlocking in developer options first)
finished. total time: 0.007s
It was on a Chinese ROM before and I did use https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/Fulldowngrade_wipe_18821_190425_0253_user_fix_revision_MP_release.zip to downgrade so I could switch to the English ROM.
I also have a one plus 7 pro. It has been carrier unlocked but still the OEM unlock is greyed out. It is running Android 10. Is there a way to 'ungrey' the OEM unlock option? Thx
Do a search for this "The T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro’s bootloader can be unlocked by flashing Android Q" and fallow the instructions. Instruction are on xda.
There is no need to unlock the sim on the T-Mobile phone to unlock the bootloader.
Phone needs to be on the international firmware. This can be done with the patched msm tool. Then downgrade to android development preview 3 using local upgrade on phone. Unlock via fastboot and finally root and install a working rom or do the rollback to android p via local upgrade. Search for the guide and fallow the instructions. It really simple.
Kind of related. I converted my t mobile oneplus 7 pro to the international version and am eligible for a sim unlock. I tried to do it over chat but they said since it's not their version of android I would have to do a factory reset (which wouldn't convert it back to t-mobile stock) in order to sim unlock it, does anyone know how to sim unlock it on the international version with t-mobiles help. I would have thought t-mobile could just do it on their end but I guess not, and I guess they are kind of idiots over there to, because initially they had no idea what i meant when i said i converted it to the international version (heck they still didn't understand that I changed the firmware/ROM) so resetting it wouldn't make it a t-mobile phone again.

Backup everything you might need and revert back to T-Mobile stock firmware with msm tool. Use the provided app by the T- Mobile stock firmware to unlock sim.

You either didn't follow the correct guides. Or did something incorrectly. I bootloader unlocked my t mobile sim locked device
Hello fellas, I bought my TMobile Oneplus 7 pro on a payment plan yesterday. I already have it bootloader unlocked, rooted and twrp installed, volte works, Netflix works(480p). Running an international version OOS 9.5.11. My question is..... Since i already did all that, can I sim unlock it in the future, after 40 days, without having to revert back to stock tmobile?
As far as I know, you only have to wait 3 days to request a permanent sim unlock. @mobbdeep can do it for you with just the account holders last name and the phone number the OP7 Pro is currently on. You will need the T-Mobile "unlock" app so you can select "Permanent Unlock" in the app though, so you *may* need to temporarily reflash stock for that, but if you ask around, someone might be able to pull the apk from theirs for you to try on international.
Also out of curiosity, how well does T-Mobile service work on the international ROM? I've been thinking of converting mine and buying a dual sim tray since mine is unlocked.

If you're already on the international firmware and have stuff flashed, you will need to revert back to the stock T-Mobile firmware in order to truly unlock your SIM. If you try downloading the Device Unlock app via Play Store or APK, it will give an invalid network unlock reading. If you have a T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro, PM me your phone number and the last name of the account holder of your T-Mobile account and I can unlock your phone in seconds. You can then use the Device Unlock app to unlock your SIM then flash the international firmware if you'd like.. that is what I did myself.
Anyway, the international version firmware is good but there's no significant difference except it's used to unlock your device but not your SIM. I have SmurfKernel and xXx NoLimits ROM module installed and my device performance has increased greatly.

Did you have a service unlock for you? On new Samsung phones they are doing something called carrier relock where you can lock the phone to 64 different carriers but once you upgrade you lose it.

Is there a way to tell if your phone is unlocked? I have the unlocked US version but when I upgraded to Android 10 it had a app for carrier lock briefly. When I clicked it, it did say it was locked and I thought it was a bug because I have the -1 version.

Hi everyone.
Can anyone please give me a guide on how to convert my IN2015 from the global software to T-Mobile? I want to try the 5G SA and T-Mobile modem. I tried this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4093043/ and that bricked my phone, probably because it specifically says only for the T-Mobile version. I got into the Fastboot mode, and was able to get the phone recovered.
There are plenty of guides for converting the T-Mobile version to global, but not the other way around.
Thanks!

I held down the volume up & down buttons while plugging in, but nothing ever happened on the screen. I assumed something like a bootloader screen would display on the phone. Afterwards, I got it into the bootloader menu, then choose Start, and it restarted correctly.
Is there any method to unlock bootloader (for op8 tmobile conversion into global) without getting unlock token?
