I guess then the best thing is get Sim Unlock and the Unlock Token, then flash the Global Software.

That's my plan

I prefer the Google version instead of OnePlus shelf. My other phone is a global OnePlus 7 Pro and I'm not missing anything. In fact, I'm on a newer security patch on the TMobile OnePlus 8 5G.

Timeframe Question

Hey guys,
Sold my P2XL and am waiting to buy this thing. How long do we normally wait for an international device? Global rom? I'm contemplating buying the CN version and flashing the UK software over it once it becomes available, instead of waiting for the international hardware.
Thanks!
I'm waiting on global too. Don't want to have to unlock bootloader.

So, all the versions will come with locked bootloaders chinese/global roms. How are they unlockable?? Do we have to get the key from Xiaomi?
Normal xiaomi unlocking procedure using the unlocking tool. With my global xiaomi mi mix 2 (bought in Spain Amazon xiaomi store) I even had to use Chinese VPN to unlock it

Wow, that really sucks, the good old days seem in the past where you could plug it in and unlock it with the PC with command line tools.
Has anyone received the Mi Mix 3 and tested unlocking the bootloader yet? Was looking at ordering today. My Mi Mix came with the bootloader unlocked however does not appear to be an option on the selling sites.
Mix 3 is to be released in Taiwan at the end of Nov or early Dec, it'll be the global version. Don't know about other markets.
I ordered mine from geekbuying and hopefully will be mailed soon... I thought it was released 11/1/2018... That's weird...

Mine has been despatched from mi store on AliExpress, Some phones now unlock instantly, not sure how this is working. I've downloaded the program, only for Windows though which could be tricky for me. Maybe the Chinese ones can be unlocked instantly but not global. One person was trying to unlock his phone and managed it in 1 minute, so I explained to someone with mi maax global and it didn't work for him,
I think unlocking is account related, pretty sure you're now only allowed to unlock 1 phone per month.

yes,Unlocking and account association。 Previously MIX2 has been unlocked, it takes 72 hours, now the binding device can solve BL
If you buy from Gearbest/Aliexpress a lot of the time you'll get a vendor ROM therefore an unlocked bootloader.

Yes answered wrong question,. I have bought Chinese version, does it have to be released in you're country for you to buy it? Is a global version not good enough, that should be available in a few weeks.

Converting the T-Mobile Oneplus 7 Pro to international software

So with all the excitement in the release of the new device, have we had a chance to look into converting the device to an International Version (like here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307). How can I help? I have a device on the way and am happy to do some testing.
You just have to wait for the msm software to be updated with the appropriate firmware for the oneplus 7 PRO. As soon as that comes out im flashing.

Planning to get Oneplus 7 (Regular)

Hi Oneplus Community!
I have some questions before buying Oneplus 7 tomorrow.
• I'll be getting the GM1900 which is Chinese Model but the seller said that it has already been flashed to OxygenOS, I will not encounter any update issue or update will be delay right if I'll get this one?
• Banking Apps should work fine after flashing OxygenOS to GM1900 model? or it will not work because of root or unlock bootloader? (I'm really sorry since I don't have any information about these)
• I'll be upgrading from Galaxy S8+ to Oneplus 7 will there be a huge difference in daily usage performance?
I can't get the Global version in my country(Philippines) because it is not officially released here and in the future once it will be released it will be troublesome to get one because in my region they don't stock Oneplus that much. So I'll be getting the Chinese Model to a non-official store in my place.
Hello my friend!
Last year when OnePlus released the android Pie HydrogenOS for the OnePlus 5T (the chinese version of the OS), there were some problems with the device. No Playstore installed, some firmware issues (force closed etc not necessarily related to the beta) and also there weren't any google apps (easy to install though). We had to install TWRP to install the HydrogenOS beta, root the device, unlock the bootloader etc.
Why am i telling you these? Because probably they will send you a device with unlocked bootloader etc (I said probably, not sure ). So you will have to ask them how the installed the firmware.
Yes. The OP7 is a beast. I got mine yesterday and it's a great device. Once you get a OnePlus you will not buy another phone, trust me on this one.
Wait some days to see if the oneplus becomes official to your country too and also ask the retailer those information so that you can be sure that the device you are about to buy is not messed up

Oh that is very scary since I'm not that expert on the customization of android how can I check the bootloader status if its unlock or not?
Lastly, even if they flash OxygenOS from HydrogenOS updating it to the next OS will make my device revert its OS to the original and default for GM1900 which is HydrogenOS? Please enlighten me. They are claiming that it is a Global ROM btw.
Thank you for the heads up!

Well, you can't check it until you have the device. It could be the Global ROM but i think that they have to make some changes in order to modify it. No, it won't revert to the HydrogenOS after installing an update afaik.
How much does it cost? There isn't another retailer or another online shop from where you can buy the European model?

It costs ₱25,990 or around 500 USD pretty cheap though yeah this store I'm going to get one is somehow popular here in my location they offer products that the official market doesn't. If I have to wait for the official Oneplus 7 in my country my estimate will be in September or October if they are going to release it in my country even the 7 Pro was officially launched here in the Philippines, our authorized seller(Store A) in my place of Oneplus doesn't even have the stock of Oneplus 7 Pro they say it will be arriving mid or late July (sucks) so its really hard in my situation right now to get an official one they only offer a Oneplus 6T right now which costs around 550 USD. So I have to get the Oneplus 7 on the (Store B) who is selling the GM1900 model which is modified to OxygenOS. Btw these chinese model are also popular here in my country because it is cheaper than the official one around 10-30% price difference (base on our oneplus community facebook group). Only bad thing if I get from (Store B) is that they only offer 3 months warranty and if it is bound for replacement they are going to send it back and have it diagnose before they will give me a replacement hopefully I won't get there.
Will work fine, same hardware and bands as in EU version. Using China 256/8GB version in EU, no issues at all.
If you want the european one then order it to an european country and then use this service. https://www.parcl.com/ (if products are not available to order in your country yet, just order to this companys hq from some EU country and they will ship it to you)
Hey @cheschanco I don't know whether you have made your decision of not, if they have already installed Oxygen is, you can get the device. Don't worry about bootloader lock/unlock it doesn't have to do anything with updates unless you are rooted. If you still want locked bootloader there is simple command for that and is one step process you don't have to be an expert for that.
Although you will still receive all the oos updates nevertheless. Now coming to the device. This has by far the best device OnePlus has made in terms of price and performance. Camera quality is identical to op7pro - wide angle. Just go for it.

I already got the device and yes it comes with OxygenOS with it. I guess I will not mess with those settings anymore anyway is it ok to keep the factory OS which is 9.5.2 I'm still hesitating to update because of some bugs and battery drain according to other users and with my current OS I don't notice any bugs so I'm going to stick with this one. Yeah correct huge improvement specially in gaming performance compare to my S8+ looks like a 150% difference.

There are no issues with banking apps provided you don't root. If you do root, then there are still workarounds.

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

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.

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

CPH2025CW - Flash Global?

I have a CPH2025 running CW though I purchased it from Amazon UK and can confirm it's Unlocked Network wise, is there no way of flashing just a Global CPH2025 to it so I'm able to get updates quicker?
Nope
There's a flashing tool used by Oppo, Realme and OnePlus phones called MSN Download Tool.
It's what they use internally and there are always leaked / cracked versions available for OnePlus, but not so much Oppo. IF you managed to find the right version you could in theory change your software version. You'd need the tool and .ofp file (which is the full firmware).
I have a couple of cracked versions of the tool and OFP files that I stumbled across when trying to convert my Chinese version to global, but not willing to try on my CPH2025 in case I brick it (plus I have the global version so nothing to gain by doing so). Sure Oppo would reflash under warranty if you could be bothered with the inconvenience of not having a phone for a week.

Unlikely, there are only a few leaked versions of the full firmware, I have found A14 and A29, as ColorOS 11 isn't even out yet is say there is zero chance of getting a leaked version that someone has cracked.... Just have to wait.
It is actually possible to change to global! I put a small tutorial up on Twitter to show you how to do it.

Does it factory reset the phone? How is 4g/5g performance when you switch regions? I imagine Singapore would use different bands... And how does it look with Google Pay, certifications, Widevine etc?
Update: Never mind, tried it, the *# code is actually for a realme device, can't find one specific to Find X2 or X2 Pro, and have no idea if there is a way to extract a list of those secret codes from the device itself...

Does it factory reset the phone? How is 4g/5g performance when you switch regions? I imagine Singapore would use different bands... And how does it look with Google Pay, certifications, Widevine etc?

The *# works on the Find X2 Pro. It's not Realme-specific. Google Pay still works for me and didn't notice any mobile data difference. No factory reset either
I've tried and it works. Changed the region a few times, tried Singapore, UK, then the multi-language E - all worked fine. It even disabled and enabled region specificNone of them have me a ColorOS 11 update though which is why I was doing it.
However, I changed to Thailand True and now this procedure doesn't work. Now stuck on Thailand ?. My fault for playing too much!

It is actually possible to change to global! I put a small tutorial up on Twitter to show you how to do it.

Thanks for the post Adam, you've made a lot of people very happy. This change in regional settings had enabled people to get ColorOS 11 early, replace carrier specific software for a more generic version, get features like the Theme Store and call recording working and even opened up the possibility of having dual SIM on a single SIM variant!
Cheers buddy! ?
