I've tried searching and have had no luck or have just gotten more confusing results, but how can root a fully unlocked T-Mobile OP8? The bootloader is unlocked and I am next trying to root it, so I can fix my dumb mistake of bricking the fingerprint scanner from relocking the bootloader (couldn't use a lot of apps). If there is a way to fix the fingerprint scanner without rooting, please let me know. I understand that is has to do with a broken persist.img, but I do not know how to correct this.
From what I've read about rooting the OP8, you need to have the firmware of the same version installed on the device and since T-Mobile variants don't publicly have their firmware available (can't find them anywhere) and I can't patch the payload.bin (because of lack of firmware download availability)...
Thanks!

thanks in advance! I tried multiple times and i keep getting stuck in a boot loop and it keeps going to the bootloader. Couldn't even boot back into my phone OS. I couldn't get out of it so i used the MSM tool and i am officially back to 9.5.3. Can somebody please let me know if i can update from this and stay rooted, or can i update to OOS 10 first and then root from scratch. I appreciate all help! I'm sorta a noob to this, so i apologize in advance if its a noob question.

If you double-posted simply report the duplicate. Thanks for your cooperation.
If I root and flash twrp can I still receive otas and if I actually install it while I'm rooted will it lose root and twrp? and if I root can I still use Google pay with a magisk module?

Hey all, my T-Mobile IN2017 just took the A11 update (11.0.1.3.IN55CB) without any prompting, and I've lost root. Is there a working TWRP and/or patched boot img I can use to regain Magisk root?

T-Mobile IN2017 Root Method?

Please help anyone me to unlock bootloader.
Using bootloader unlocker app but its not erasing phone means bootloader not unlocked.
Some one said wait for EDL Update.
If updated please inform me. And give me link of ROG 5 Community please.
PLEASE HELP ME
The unlocker app requires internet connection and accepting the conditions, it should restart the device wiped when successful. Do you get an unlocked warning screen when booting? What's Fastboot OEM device-info giving you?
