II recently purchase a oneplus 7 pro on ebay, i believed the phone to be us version unlocked and was sent a tmobile version,
i was able to get the international version flashed onto it and is running great with root and all, the question i have what are the variants numbers they use in tmobile, verizon and oneplus persay. i cant seem to find much reference online about just the thread below, that info is kind of broad. the GM1915 is this us unlocked or tmobile veriant.

Just ordered one and I looked around but can't find the answer. Does the Sprint model have the latest update that the unlocked model has?
Really looking forward to this phone.
Thanks.

If you want it and you want to be able to mod it don't go with Sprint right now. Got it 3 days ago didn't see that someone had posted it was not able to be unlocked on Sprint without I'm assuming buying the phone outright from them regardless I don't like how they did that.
I have not rooted since I got rid of my 6P so I'm not planning on doing it with this phone more than likely. I know updates won't be as quick as unlocked versions just curious if the sprint version is running the same as the unlocked. Not counting the 10 beta obviously.

From what I've read the bootloader cannot be unlocked therefore it cannot be rooted. A Sprint rep did confirm to me that there is a Closed Beta of Android 10 and the wait for stable Android 10 won't be long. No specific date was given. OnePlus' reputation for fast updates is one of the reasons I bought this phone. Guess I'll have to wait and see.
Android 10 has already been released for Op7 pro but not yet for the Pro 5G.
Hi, I want to get a 7 Pro to replace my Mi Mix running AICP on Verizon in the USA. I'm wondering which model(s) will work, and if any versions will have a more reduced capability on Verizon. I do not have 5g, and don't think I will while I have this phone.
Will only gm1917 work?
I couldn't find anything about people using the gm1915 tmobile 7 Pro on verizon network. I'm wondering if it's a bad idea to buy a tmobile version (used, might save a little money or find a good price quicker). Any idea if converting tmobile > international version would work also?
A lot of ebay sellers do not list the model #, or say whether tmobile or whatever. I'm a little worried about receiving something not gm1917
I want 8gb or 12gb + 256gb.
gm1917 north america
gm1915 tmobile
gm1920 5g Europe
gm1925 5g Sprint (I don't need 5g)
I read about the other 7 Pro + Verizon quirks: wifi calling, might need to troubleshoot CDMAless, etc. That seems fine, I'm willing to do some work to get it rooted, rom'd, & running. I love the Mi Mix + AICP, if I could upgrade the camera I'd keep it. If you've got any other advice, please lmk.
Thank you for all the help on the excellent forums

T-Mobile will work. Updates are slow.
I have the GM1917
Since your with Verizon I would go with the 1917 version. I don't know about TMobile but I have the 1910 and has Verizon's main bands and you can talk and use data and send a text but won't receive a text back. I went through this scenario with verizons rep and made sure cdma less feature was on and just would not work. You can try with the TMobile but it's less of a headache and time if you just get the 1917.
Hi all,
I just got my Oneplus 7 pro 5g from eBay, specifically the Sprint version and have unlocked the bootloader, However, I'd like to get android 10 onto the device, and was wondering where I'd go from here?
if it makes it any easier, I don't need the 5G to work at all as the phone doesn't pick up my countries (UK) 5G bands anyway so I cant use them as it is.
Sorry if this is a stupid question/ one that has already been answered I tried looking around and couldn't seem to find anything about it so any help would be appreciated
thanks
You don't. You are stuck with oos on 5g devices because os versions are different for 4g and 5g. No devs care about the 5g devices and there's no development on them which is why there's nothing about it the this forum and without an msmtool you will be screwed if you mess up!! Only hope is oos release Android 10 for 5g devices. Should have bought the 4g version. 5g is a big ripoff!

yeah hahaha I just learnt that the hard way, completely bricked the phone lmao but I did manage to find an MSM tool for it, and the only reason i bought the 5g version was it was a lot cheaper than a 4g version

I don't know where you looked for the 4g but it's definitely cheaper than the 5g version especially at this point. The 12gb/256 nebula blue version sells for about 500 on swappa.
I'm from the UK so I was looking at eBay and just buying it new, everywhere was either sold out of very expensive, so I ended up buying it refurbished from the US for around £330+£90 import
Hello all,
I'm on T-Mobile and trying to get away from the hell that is Samsung. I'm looking at OnePlus 7T T-Mobile, or 7 Pro.
It looks like the "root community" is more active on 7 Pro, and my fear is that the "7T T-Mobile" will give me trouble when unlocking bootloader and installing custom ROMs.
7 Pro seems to be very close in specs and has just looking at the ROMs section here makes it look like it has a more active community.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
If you mean 7 Pro (non carrier variant) then definitely go for it.
Not because there is more development, but also because I'd avoid any carrier variant of any phone.
If push comes to shove, you can always convert the TMO version to international. Easy and works like a charm.
Go for 7 Pro. Nothing beats the no notch full screen!!
Coming back to OnePlus with a OP 7 Pro from a Galaxy S10+ and I highly agree with the above statements. No carrier phones, OnePlus 7 Pro for the win!

Can you explain this a little? I'm actually looking at the 7 Pro on Swappa and the price difference from the TMobile version to the unlocked version is pretty significant. If I buy one that says T-Mobile unlocked, am I to assume it is sim-unlocked and can be converted?
I would only recommend doing so if and only if you are familiar with flashing rom/twrp/root and know what you are doing. If you have decided to buy a T-Mobile model, just make sure that it is fully network unlocked (you can test it with other carriers sim) and do the conversion first then unlock bootloader using the international model version method. I myself bought a refurbished T-Mobile version of oneplus 7pro for quite cheap and converted it to the international version. It has since then became an international model without any drawbacks. Dual sims is working, all custom roms are working and every mods that works on the global model will work on the T-Mobile converted model. The best part is after you convert to global, it will always stay global no matter which roms you flashed unless you revert it back.

Pretty much..I would check first before you decide to keep it. Also with the branded phones I would make sure it's not still under contract, stolen or not paid off. Something to think about
Also what the guy above me said is pretty much what I was going to say
The 7T Pro doesn't have a TWRP that can flash to the system. So you're stuck with using fastboot to flash ROMs. If you don't wanna do that, buy a 7 Pro

Yes I've been flashing since the original Droid. Haven't had a phone I could flash since my pixel xl though. I'll make sure and get an unlocked t-mobile phone. There are no limitations after the conversion? I feel like I was reading people who converted the 6T had issues with safetynet and nfc payments. All clear here?
Thanks guys. Got a sim unlocked t-mobile 7 pro coming from swappa.
Thinking of purchasing the 7 Pro GM1925 model unlocked, only question is will I get software updates from oneplus or will this be carrier controlled? I know this is the sprint model unlocked and I plan to use on tmobile. Just don't want to be getting updates 3-6 months delayed is the fear.
I was facing this... really looking forward for the answers

The best option to allay all fears is to debrand the phone even if it's unlocked by sprint et at. There are numerous posts on how to do them. BTW, why do you want to buy an unlocked sprint version when you can get a pure OP7Pro on Amazon?

Price is the reason, the gm1925 (sprint unlocked) are heavily discounted right now. Whereas the gm1910 international versions are more expensive.

sorry I meant any of the other versions on sale besides gm1925 are at least $100-200 more expensive than the sprint gm1925 version.
And do you know maybe what's the reason for that? Is that T-Mobile-Sprint merge?

are you asking why it's cheaper than the international versions? I have no clue. See for yourself here at amazon its $499:

compare price to international version $629:
