Very close with a Sim Unlock for the T-Mobile version. need some help - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

I have been working on the sim unlock for the gm1915 for some time now. And could really use the help of our community. My Oneplus7 Pro is still financed, it was bought on ebay and can't be activated. So now I'm at the point that no messages pop up for the sim and I have some service but it won't register on the Network. Attached is the firehose I extracted from the .OPS Tmobile msmdownload on here. I don't think it's anywhere on line so enjoy my time well spent. The best way to use it is with QFIL then you can manage all the partitions as needed. I could really use a efs or qcn from a unlocked tmobile Op7P just make Sure u know how to clean out the imei. For your own benefits.
Update..
By digging into the unlock i found way more then i exspected . It seems there is a wrapper on the system. If anyone has noticed the Alarm or the Wake_lock .it all starts up after the very first boot ,with the gboard. Gboard and all the otheres are bonded together buy location services . This is all the gmscore .and when one is tripped by the alarm that is the wake_lock (clock) they all know. And the simlock is android auto that is part of the hidden apps. I found a whitelist.xml showing them all.when the wrong sim is entered the alarm is tripped and call is made to honk the horn,this is the simlock wallpaper that pops up.Also its swiches the sim id to emergency only.The carrier plmns used to lock are located and tyed to game mode,I have found a vulnerablity in the gmscore and have been able to pull it all. There is just way to much more to go into. All of these items have to be cleard to simunlock ,this is why the Tmobile rom is needed. If in the process somthing is done wrong and tripps the alarm the phone will reset the lock and sometimes reboot and not start back up.

heres the Firehose files

Update, by erasing the modemst1 and modemst2 it deleats the sim lock. And don't effect the IMEI at all. But by erasing them it clears all the uim configurations. Restoring efs with twrp goes back to locked. I'm in the process of rebuilding the missing NV- items one by one and should have a fully functional Sim Unlock for the T-Mobile OP7p. After doing all I have I might just have a working bypass for most T-Mobile locked qualcomm devices using the unlock app.

Nice work
Good luck, keep us posted on progress.

Good work friend.
Can this work also for the gm1925?

How were you able to erase the modems? I get an error (Critical Partition is locked) when I try and do this on my 7T

You will need to unpack the firehose file from the.ops back up file in the msmdownload tool for your phone. The one I have won't work .Its a different SOC then you can use it with QFIL and manage the partitions.

Am in
All help needed please. We need to crack this thing.
Maybe a bounty for anyone that can crack it too will help

Right now I don't have access to all the info. And money is limited. I'm waiting for a good deal from eBay for one that only has a working unlocked main board. Don't care about anything else on it as long as I can connect to it. Then things will move faster. It seems they added alot this time.to stop us all

Update . If anyone would like to know and is not with the telegram group. I have found all the reasons why the T-Mobile OnePlus 7 pro has not been unlocked yet. Qualcomm has changed alot of internals and has a new updated encryption with the sdm855 SOC. But I'm not going to let it stop me. I have found out that the sim lock is implimented in the stock modem. I'm about done fully unencrypting it and already have it half way unpacked. I have also learnd that there might be a EFUSE for the sim lock. something else quit new. Looks like they must have started paying the programmers at tmobile for a change also.

keep it up dear we are waiting your work
i have a 7T that is sim locked and cannot be unlocked waiting your work

I have a unlocked modemst we can play with. We may be able to push this. As I saw you tried to zero modemst out just like I did. It does sim unlock the device for sure. But as stated it also won't properly read a sim as I believe nv is screwed up. If we can combine some of this I bet we do it. I gots a few ideas as well. If any one is willing to try stuff and such.

wont work, i have went as far as erasing the full ufs even the gpt tables, and then writing back , the problem is the device encrypts the modemst1 and 2 using the hardware id .and that ID is hardcoded to the SOC and cant be changed , so u cant write another modemst1 and 2 to another device. the lock flag is encrypted inside them. I have been able to unlock the gm1925 sprint model .have locked and unlocked the same device 3 times now with sprints server.and just have to write the efs back to lock. even have a full log of the process. its just that im out of my range of exspertease and im haveing to learn as i go.

H830 just can be rooted so can we unlock it from TMO?

I noticed that H830 has got rooted and ROM. So is it possible to find some methods to unlock it?
I just bought a brand new never activated H830 and I'm outside the USA.
I've got a method that used to work on older devices such as the m9, but I happened to get my device unlocked prior to root being available so I can't test it for myself anymore, the most I can do is find the files that need to be edited and someone else, such as yourself may be able to test it.
There's two options to go about this method:
1. Get a universal standard rom that works on all versions of the g5, that way the customization is of a standard g5, hence the the unlock app will no longer be the default unlock method, code entry will pop up.
2. Editing the customization file to the h850, or maybe another version of the g5, hence the system will not look to the unlock app, but look to the default code check.
I can't guarantee either method will work, since the g5 may be different or even the way the unlock app works.
I agree to test with you.
Just recieved mine sealed from eBay and need to unlock it somehow..
Just tell me what to do

If you can pull the customer.xml file we can look to make the mods to it and test the theory.
We can also try editing the build.prop file model number.
Though I don't think that's gonna be our major change.
Edit: I'd do it myself, but I'm not rooted and my system pull so far has yielded me limited success, most I can figure out is that the file is protected, which I can't access without root.

USCC V20 (US996) Bootloader Unlock/Root Discussion

Just a thread for the few USCC people here - I've tried to UL the bootloader using TMO instructions - no go. It will reboot into the bootloader but it asks for the unlock.bin key (fastboot oem unlock returns an unknown command error). So at least theirs that much
Phone will also boot into recovery, and I get the associated normal options there (clear, mount /system, wide device/cache, load update via ADB, load update via SD, view recovery logs, etc). Interesting thing happens when I select "run graphics test" from the recovery menu - it gives an error, then the "no command" icon, then multicolor circles rotating - but it says "erasing" then "installing system update" then goes back to the recovery menu. Not sure if it's normal, but it's interesting.
I'm not a dev or a software guy really, but would like to hear some thoughts on the USCC version...would love to have root like the TMO - especially since it will get into the fastboot menu. Wish I knew more so I could be more help.
Same I'd like to here more about this since the unlocked version comes with an unlocked bootloader. I think it's because the T-Mobile version got released first so they had the jump start, and the unlocked version took till the 11th to be released so it's like we're late.

you are talking about three different devices lol.. apparently USCC v20 is locked like everyone else.. TMobile typically allows BL unlocks, not because it was out first? and the unlocked variant is obviously from LG and unlockable by default...

I seem to have a US996, but I got it early on. I believe it to be bootloader locked though, even though it's a developers device. I'm almost 100% sure it's the sim unlocked version as I tried a few sims and they worked. Anything I can do to help?

I recommended the officially unlocked variant of the V20 to @Abumarf believing he'd have no issues whatsoever in unlocking the bootloader. He purchased one off eBay before the phone was officially released and I believe it came with a user debug kernel. It seems similar to the engineering kernels for Samsung devices, as he has root access through the adb shell. Unlike the temporary root method that @me2151 had posted, it can survive reboots. Yet I'm surprised the fastboot command to unlock the bootloader returns with failure.

@elliwigy I will most likely be selling the phone or handing it over to @Ephemera as I can't use it as a daily driver. We'll update you on what happens. If we do decide to sell, I'll see if we can extract and send them your way before we do.

hopefully you are able to as it shouldnt really take any time at all lol.. it would really help a lot of ppl out if it is in fact a debug kernel..
the root we have is a temp tcp root shell using a context we cant really do anything we need to do at all so it was pretty much a dead end so far

yeah, the US cellular us996. it's different from the American unlocked us996. according to LG anyway, it lists it as two different phones.
I'm not on a US cellular one. I'm in an unlocked one with Verizon. the post above you said unlocked had unlocked bootloader. mines as unlocked as you get, and it doesn't have an unlocked bootloader.
Sent from my LG V20 US996
http://developer.lge.com/community/...nuId=38&contsTypeCode=QUE&prodTypeCode=MOBILE
Make yourselves heard. Let LG know we want the bootloader to be unlockable on the US996. I've talked to their live chat and they claim that they "didn't know people would want to unlock their bootloader". Show them we do.

T-Mobile Bootloader/Sim unlock Bypass..

I'm shocked there is absolutely no discussion on the new method that just launced. Due to the lack of activity, it's not made clear if the bootloader unlock method unlocks the sim card as well.. I don't even know if the method is worth taking or has any significant issues in the longrun..
Convert to international and it bypasses it
Edit:
Nevermind didn't read it correctly
If you're talking about the q upgrade to get bootloader unlocked. I'm kind of surprised too.
I unlocked my bootloader via that method and it did not sim unlock my op7p. I dropped an at&t sim and it told me the phone is network locked and to use the Tmo unlock app.
Any method of getting it Sim unlocked if you are outside of the US?

None that I know of if you buy a network locked version like the GM1915 from TMobile. Have to go through the carrier for SIM unlock on those.
The guy that started the tmo to international conversion thread said it's possible, but complicated and would be release later. Hope they get it out soon.
The Q unlocks the bootloader but the GSM SIM is still locked. I tried this command and got this response
./fastboot erase modemst2
Erasing 'modemst2' FAILED (remote: 'Erase is not allowed for Critical Partitions
')
./fastboot reboot
Rebooting OKAY [ 0.002s]
Would be grateful to find someone with useful info on how to sim unlock this phone.
Thanks
man, would love to find a way to sim unlock this outside the US. sucks
If you have t-mobile version there are 2 guys on guide thread that unlock the phone through the t-mobile app. If your using t-mobile outside the carrier you will have to pay to a 3er party service eBay haves them
Do you know of any 3rd party service that can do this? Please let me know, thanks

No, these commands are for the dangerous ability to flash & erase criticals like modem.
The code to unlock BL is:
fastboot oem unlock
(Erases all data)
---------- Post added at 08:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 AM ----------
I dunno if BL can be downgraded bc OP7P starts on android 9 rom which has security patches which prevent flashing to modem.
Found this thread for a different phone which has the same issue you guys are having:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/help/failed-remote-flashing-allowed-modem-t3924591
If BL can be modified, the perhaps you can erase/flash Modemst1 & 2. If anyone knows of someone who tinkers with BL, bring them here :fingers-crossed:

Help T-mobile unlock sim

Hi. I have my 1+7 pro from ebay, I live in Europe. Can anyone help me unlock it (is locked on T-mobile) only having the IMEI as I have no clue about the account or holder name.
Same problem as yours
It has no solution This device can only be used for iron
t mobiles do what they want they don't care about the customer
I ordered the ebay device
I have a solution and no service
So garbage company I hope it crashes

Sorry missing part of the stuff. Need to use a beta version after that to unlock. The are the old instructions are in the link below; the concept is still the same. Anyone can chime in if I'm incorrect.

I don't understand why you guys would buy a TMobile version when there's a global unlocked version available.
There's a guide on here though for a sim unlock. Gotta flash developer version first

This process does not unlock your carrier
This process only opens the boot lock

This process will wipe your phone. Backup all of your important files before proceeding. This process will not provide you with a T-Mobile SIM unlock either and will not unlock your bootloader for you.

Last I recall, you could unlock your bootloader from the Open Betas.. thought that was still the case

If your device is locked to this sim for iron
There is no solution to opening a provider
If it could be opened
The network lock
It was good for a lot of people
Once the modem is locked there is nothing to do if it is
Also, the network lock cannot be decoded
Bootloader
Easy to open
Convert to international version
Then update Android Q 3 through a local upgrade
DP 3
fastboot OEM unlock
A local upgrade way to get back to the old rom

If anyone here was posting
A modem that is unlocked
Maybe it was possible
Burn on the device
Need some tool to decode the network
-------------------------------------------------
I tried
To change
imei
To the device
No software does that
Once it is possible to change to imei device
This is another kind of solution for one Plus fans

Any chance for root (ever)?

I have an option to get new phone with contract reneval. I like devices with strange "additions", thats why I had Moto Z3 Play before. And now I'm thinking about Velvet coz of it's Dual Screen.
However I need root for few apps I use (some for my own usage, some work related).
Do You believe that there will be a way to root Velvet in the nearest feature? Or ever?
I'm more asking if You believe there will be a way to fash Magisk patched kernel.
I know that nonflagship LG device doesnt even have an option to unlock bootoloader nd even the flagships (V60?) have blocked fastboot command, so unlocking does nothing...
https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0703
Sad to see this after I chose something else...
Still, as I read about other LG devices it seems that unlockable bootloader doesn't have to mean that there is access to fastboot commands. An without that there is no reason to unlock it.
I thought about a new phone for a long time and I hope you are wrong. because I chose velvet. previously i had g6 and i already miss & root mods a lot. and what did you buy?
Realme X3 Superzoom. At least there is a root solution already
And they should share the sources like they did with older devices.
I'll miss the 2nd screen, but... Had a chance to play with it and my carrier gives it for free (screen or headphones) along with 3rd year of warranty.
I waiting for headphines ? they add choice (screen or it) after i buy phone :laugh: and i worry about lg is coming down with smartphone ... Have nice day and good luck with powerusing :victory:
Headphones? I'd choose the screen. F**k their DAC
Maybe one day I'll get LG with Dual Screen? Will see. As I signed the contract in the store I have no way to change it (not sure if I want to).
Anyway, nice day to You too. I miejmy nadzieje, ze znajdzie sie sposob na roota na Velveta

I’ve been seeing the LMG900M a lot on ebay, wondering if this works too as i haven’t seen it on this list?
In the dark
Is there anyway us as a collective to unlock the bootloader ourselves. I literally don't know like I'm very new to this and want to try it out a rooted device
got a velvet.
unlock bootloader was no prob.
but stock roms are in kdz format. uncompressable since last dev of un-kdz un-dz seems to support just old and smaller formats.
tried several boot.img's and twrp's that seem to be same chipset.
nothing worked so far. hopin some of the rom-gurus gets hot on that dual-screen feature/case...which works really good.
i didnt get it to work with root, but i dont give up hope.

just complete the process that wifredzik posted as link.
you ll get an unlock file from lg immediately.
enable developer options on your phone and in the following usb debugging.
boot into bootloader via adb and unlock as lg describes in the manual.
thats whats worked for me so far.
payed around with stock roms of other new mobile-phones that have the same chipset to extract the boot.img and modify it with magisk.
my strategy is to boot in with root, but without flashing partitions so that i can dump the original boot.img and modify with magisk just to flash it back.
but no other boot.img worked so far.
if there is somebody out there who can breakup the lg velvet stock rom (kdz-format) to intact img files please let me know.

hm...i would try it anyways.
the worst that can happen is that lg dont sends back the unlock.bin.
iv`e taken a look inside the file.
its encrypted. so, no way to create it the easy way by yourself...
