Do all AOSP ROMs break T-Mobile variant? - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

I have a T-Mobile OP7 pro that I've had unlocked from the network, and I've been running the international version of OOS for some time. This week I tried changing to Havoc OS (because I've used it on previous phones), and now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I don't even get to the ROM's boot screen. I know I can put factory software back on there, but I'm not ready to give up unless someone here knows whether it's impossible to run AOSP ROMs on a T-Mobile OP7 pro.

You're better off converting the phone into the international variant using the MSM tool. I have a converted unit, and all ROMs work properly after conversion.

OPTUS F1f has some bands disabled. Will flashing Spectrum or another ROMfix?

Q. My wife has an Optus (Australian) F1f, which we had unlocked but it appears that Optus disabled some bands in their version of the device. This has become a problem now that we are using another carrier. I'm hoping these were disabled at the Rom end and not hardware.
Will shifting to another ROM like Spectrum give access back to the full range of bands? I tried flashing the official Oppo ROM from their website using standard recovery but it appears to still be Optus with all the bloatware that usually comes with. I was hoping it would install a generic firmware but it didn't.

Tmobile Converted OP7 Pro question

I converted my Oneplus 7 Pro to the international version, and while I like it, I've messed with it too much at this point and have introduced issue.
What would be the fastest/best way to completely wipe my phone and return it back to stock (international stock not the tmobile stock)

Can I flash the Verizon firmware onto an unlocked (IN2015) Oneplus 8?

I purchased a fully unlocked OnePlus 8 (IN2015) but have discovered that only the OnePlus 5G UW (running Verizon firmware) can use all of the Verizon network features like wifi calling, vvm, etc. I have reflashed carrier phones with global firmware in the past, but is it possible to go in reverse? Where do I find the carrier images?
I certainly can't speak to the whole "going in reverse" thing, but you can find the Verizon MSM image here. Worst case scenario, you try and it fails, MSM back to the unlocked global and you're back to square 1.

Questions about flashing global ROMs to a US unlocked Android

Completely new to this, I bought a OnePlus 9 Pro (it said Dual-SIM when I ordered it, then they changed to to single-SIM) and apparently the US version ignores the second SIM slot outright despite being carrier-free. I want to flash a global ROM to it so as to get around this.
1- Does flashing a ROM effect what bands the device recognizes, or is that all hardware based?
2- If I flash a global ROM, will I still get OTA updates and the like?
3- Is there anything that can happen after successfully flashing a new ROM that would require me to re-flash again in the future? Or is it just a one and done type deal?
Thank you in advance

Question How to fix T-Mobile/Sprint carrier issue on International FW

Hey everyone!
So, I own a LE2115 OP9 5G and it is currently operating stock OOS 12, I have no issues with it, I've run multiple custom ROM and have rooted it from the beginning. My issue is this:
I currently use Metro by T-Mobile as a carrier, I wanted to switch carriers and as it is network unlocked from the factory, I assumed that it would be good to go as far as switching it to a Sprint/T-Mobile acct. Apparently, they "Sprint" is having some sort of issue activating the SIM because it is international FW. Could I possibly change my FW variant to T-Mobile and solve the issue? If so, can I do that using an MSM tool? If anyone has the solution, I'd really like to be instructed how to fix this. I love the device, and it's just strange that I cant get it to work even though Sprint and T-Movile and Metro by T-Mobile should all be the same. Thanks in advance!
