T-Mobile OnePlus 8 Conversion to Unlocked Firmware - OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers

So I've successfully unlocked the bootloader of my T-Mobile OnePlus 8, and I was wondering if there was any way to convert it to the Global OxygenOS firmware? And if something goes wrong, is there any way to flash back to the T-Mobile firmware? I haven't been able to find any threads relating to this subject.

Well you can always use MSM tool to go back to stock, and as far as converting, you'll find out soon ??

You could try this....

So I've sent my imei number to someone from this site promising that they can install the OnePlus 8 international OXYGEN OS on my phone just from the imei number.. Just trying to figure out can this be done or have I been had... They claim it takes 30 mins but it's been over a day already and nothing...

You've most likely been scammed. There is a thread over in the Guides section on how to convert the T-Mobile OP8 to the global firmware but it's still a work in progress. Right now it requires the bootloader to be unlocked and the use of the MSM tool to downgrade the stock firmware first. I don't believe there's a way to do that remotely just from the IMEI.
Please be careful sharing information about your device online, and check your sources ?

Wow thanks for the advice, I'll just take the 50 as a loss then

If you gave someone your IMEI number you have lost more than $50. You've probably lost your phone.

Uh oh. I hope that your IMEI number hasn't been compromised. IMEI numbers are in demand for blacklisted phones. how did you pay? Paypal?

Did you seriously, really, share your IMEI with someone you didn't know?
Better exchange your phone now cause I wouldn't even touch that thing after that.
Call TMobile and make up a story about it not turning on or something. Or kill it via root and say it won't boot up

I agree. You should send the phone back to tmo and request a new one. That way you don't have to worry about anything. That would be the best way and don't let anyone get that personal info from you again. I just rooted last week and coverted to global firmware this weekend. I've had the phone since may 2020. I read these threads over and over each day and didn't make a move until I was sure I had things down. Take your time and read, read, read. Happy modding!

Please message me the link to properly convert my T-Mobile OnePlus 8. I already have it sim unlocked though XDA over a month ago. Please include all the correct methods & do not put the things that brick the device, but more of what did successfully work. I've read tons of pages of the conversion & most of them have different things where some say don't do that or not necessary.
How to properly unlock bootloader & download correct MSM DOWNLOAD TOOL software.
Thank you.

Where did you get your info to install the international stock? I've been all over xda and all they have on here is just installing the oxygen OS on the 7t and below.. Is the process the same? Can I use the drivers and msm tool for the OnePlus 7?

Look for the ROM for fastboot install in questions and answers. You have to read a few different threads to make sure you use the right thing. Once you use the MSM took it gives you more confidence since you can just revert back to 10.5.7 TMO anytime your want. Happy modding!

I'm waiting on my bootloader unlock code in order to do this on my T-mobile Oneplus 8. I've rooted phones in the past, but honestly it's been a few years. I have read a bunch of posts, but the info is pretty vague.
Is this still the correct way to go to international? https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8/how-to/guide-convert-to-global-t4105885
If I root, will I lose anything? (Google Pay, bank apps, etc...)
Are there any lingering issues I should know about?
The MSM Tool allows an easy way to go back to stock?
Will it be safe to update to new firmware as they come out? Or is there a process for this?
Sorry for sounding like a new newb, just can't seem to find all these answers easily. I think the last phone I rooted was an LG G4 when it came out lol.

Yeah I was the same way so keys help you out here.
That's a good link to follow.
You may lost the ability to access banking apps if you root
MSM Tool if awesome and gets you back to 10.5.7.IN55CB stock everything.
I had no problems updating international 10.5.10 to 10.5.11. I'm TMO rooted running international version. Happy modding!

The Verizon is already unlocked for ANY sim card because Verizon no longer sim locks their phones all you need to do is put the sim card you want in the phone and set the APN(Access Point Names) settings correctly. Root has nothing to do with it.
All you need is root. trapa pa pa. All you need is root. trapa papa.
All you need is root, root. Root is all you need:laugh:

Agreed. It's a con. Probably fishing for marks with a Note 7 who want a rooted Note 5 - I feel the desperation myself as this is my situation. I think I'll move to the Note 4 until the Note 8 is released. It's not like a Pixel XL 128gb is going to show up on the google store anytime soon. I sure wish there was root for the Note 5...

Says the location is Syria. It doesn't take too much imagination to think of a few reasons to not be flirting with a kernel from an unknown source with that as an origin location. Just saying.

That may be true however, @activefan01 did provide the eng kernel for the Verizon variant it just doesn't allow root access outside of the terminal so I'm ok with testing stuff that he provides.

need to root J327T1

Greetings,
Ive bought J327T1 today and i want to root my device which is on nougat.
You and countless others. Welcome to the unrootable device club.
the Sm-j327u is rootable its the same exact device as the j327t & t1 the only difference with that model is it's bootloader unlocked. the only solution i see is buying the unlocked version of the j3 prime from samsung's website. good thing about buying from samsung is the fact you can choose what company you want and theres none or less bloatware installed.
---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------
also i have the link. i recommend that everyone buys directly from samsung for now on. remember one thing if your device has sm-XXXXU (X's in place of model numbers/letters) (U=unlocked and available on all carriers.) This is the death of unlocked bootloaders on carrier specific devices. the link to the phone is: https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/phones/all-other-phones/galaxy-j3-16gb-2017--unlocked--sm-j327uzkaxaa/

We are working on it stay tuned a new thread will be made in the guides and news section if we are successful.
Update: we are out of ideas. Until someone has an exploit we cannot root this device sorry but you will need to either buy some other device or buy the j327u directly from samsung. It is unlocked and you can flash cf autoroot no problem. The only issue is we do not have twrp for that device yet but it will be soon.

for now its hopeless. samsung really pissed me off by patching the root method not even a month after it was made. sure performance was improved slightly but patching the bootloader is just too much. is having an unlock method too much to ask?

Really surprised me with Samsung to about this. They're normally pretty nice with OEM unlock and etc. Unfortunately this is just a phone they've licked down. They're Galaxy Note series all have root. So it really makes no sense to me why this one is so closed off.

How do i get the oreo update [Betalabs not working???]

So, when i login to betalabs with my google account, i registered the phone with the correct imei and network, and it registered it correctly. Now when i try to click Agree to the blablabla and then on the Register for beta labs it loads something, then comes back to normal, no changes on the website. I don't get my OTA update and i really want to get the oreo update. Is there any other way to install the update or how can i fix the problem on betalabs?

Yes there is a way.
By the way, there's no beta version available right now, that's why you get nothing happening.

you only need to install teamviewer on the PC, I will do the rest myself, it will take 10-15 minutes of time.
There is no other way except installing the bootloader from the engineering version v35.
The loader is needed only for unlocking and installing root, tvrp.
After the unlock, the bootloader can be returned to G7, but the fastboot commands will not work.
You do not need to know Russian, with the help of a translator from Google, write me in QMS or in the mail that you want to unlock the bootloader, we will agree on the time, I will do everything myself, you will only watch the process

Wow excellent. I would love to do it over the weekend. So if i understand correctly this process involves flashing bootloader from v35 for unlocking purposes yes? You said that after unlock of the boot we can go back to stock G7 via KDZ but will loose fastboot commands however the bootloader will remain unlocked? How do we then root/flash twrp to device once going back to stock? What is the best way to reach you for chat?

After the unlock, the bootloader can be returned to G7, but the fastboot commands will not work.
You do not need to know Russian, with the help of a translator from Google, write me in QMS or in the mail that you want to unlock the bootloader, we will agree on the time, I will do everything myself, you will only watch the process
Sorry for my English

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 ???

Always someone like you putting there two cents in about how we didn't buy it from tmo. Please just stop lol. We know. It's a thread about tmo to global flash not about where we bought it.

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
