So I'll preface this post by saying I can see there is an older thread that's related but has been locked so that's why I'm creating this one. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction of getting my op8 unlocked. It was purchased through t-mobile and is still being paid off. From what I can tell is it should be possible to get it unlocked I just don't know where to turn too. I've thought about calling t-mobile but from what I can tell is they typically offer temporary unlock codes and I'm not sure if that will suit me in my pursuit of rooting my phone. Anyways any help is much appreciated and thanks in advance.

You will need to pay your device off to get it unlocked.

Are you 100% certain of this? In old thread that's since been closed a user offered unlock services to people and they stated your phone could be unlocked even if it wasn't paid off.

You do not have to have it paid off. The usually want you to wait about 2 months and two payments and will issue a permanent unlock.
They have the ability to press a button and unlock, they may just not do it.

No not yet but I will here shorty. They've done it for me in the past without issue but I was an active duty air force person going overseas so hopefully they'll unlock me once again as a civy.
Call sprint customer service tell them you talked to oneplus and in order to get your phone working you need to downgrade software and the only way to do that is to unlock bootloader and only way to do that is a sim unlock if they won't do it request to speak with tier 2 in oklahoma they will call you m-f and as soon as you say that they process sim unlock
I just hit the TMobile permanent unlock to see if it would work and it did!
Permanent unlock allows toggling of OEM Unlock in developer options.
I am a Sprint-turned-Tmo OP8 user.
Does this mean I'm simply waiting for them to send email with bin file?
Anyone here already unlock via OP site?

Yes, you have to wait 7 days to the minute and they will email you and tell you its ready for download. Have unlocked a few months back.
I don't even have the unlock app on my oneplus 8. I remember having one on my oneplus 6t but it's not there on the 8.

Hi, everyone so I was trying to unlock my T-Mobile Pixel 4 XL the other night and I was having a problem with the person previously than the ones that ended helping me to get it done. I told them I just wanted to unlock it for a trip, I didn't want to tell them I wanted to root it. They said I needed to make so many payments for a temporary unlock and pay the phone in full for a full unlock. That didn't work. So the next day, I just said I needed to unlock my bootloader and the only way to do it was if the phone was unlocked. At this point, I had the phone for a week, but they did it, I was able to unlock the phone in the app and OEM unlock in developers menu and root like everyone else. I provided some screenshot on the twitter conversation.

Don't hurt to ask nicely
I tried through the chat function in the TMobile app. Even threatened to switch carriers and they stood their ground. Said they 'respect' my decision.
Just got my phone ulocked as well, just by asking nicely on Twitter.
I'm trying this now for my 3a, will update if it goes well.
Excuse my ignorance, but what are the advantages of rooting this device if you don't mind me asking.. I'm new to my Pixel XL. Thanks for your patience in advance

Well, I'm going through twitter support now. Of course the first thing they ask is if the device is paid off. They were really cool about it but basically told me I'm SOL.
I really wanted to avoid having to go through a grey-area unlocking service.

Damn sorry to hear that man
Holy ****ttt . It actually worked for me ! It took a week but it worked ! It was from someone on the T-Mobile app. I basically told them how I loved the phone but I was disappointed that I couldn't use it to it's fullest potential so I needed it unlocked. and that I have paid more than a half of the device off so I really would like it unlocked or I would like to switch to a cheaper phone. The lady was very nice to me and said that she would work that out for me as best as she could and she really did it for me !

The carrier lock is what prevents you from the OEM unlocking. if you get it carrier unlocked and stick a different sim in you should be able to oem unlock.

Once you're 40 days in the temp unlock works. But from what I've read the OEM unlock button in Dev options is still greyed out so you can't unlock the bootloader. That switch has to be flipped on in order for you to be able to run the fastboot command.

Yeah I definitely understand how it works I was on the phone with a T-Mobile escalations supervisor regarding the four or five people that had their devices unlocked through two T-Mobile help without issue and without being within policy and they're still giving me no and I'm not taking no I'm taking it all the way to the FCC at a class action lawsuit if I have to this is my second Google Pixel 4 XL because the first one they told me I could boot later unlock and I couldn't The second one after showing them proof that it's been done they gave me a not so straight okay-ish upgraded me again and I got the device yesterday and they won't do Jack about it. I currently have three contacts in the office of the president escalations department and I am waiting here back from one of them...
I just randomly tried to unlock my phone from the unlock app and it worked. Didn't ask and device isn't paid off.
Just hit up Tmobile-help on Twitter and asked them if they would unlock my phone so I could better help with Android 11 development and they did it with no trouble. Even thanked me for helping with 11 development. My phone is not paid for. I do have 5 lines and have been a customer for awhile. Not saying it will work for everyone but did for me.
No luck here
Just got my T-Mobile Pixel 4 XL unlocked via Twitter.
I'm a brand new T-Mobile customer AND my phone is on a lease, not paid off at all. In fact I've not made any monthly payments or anything yet! I've only had the phone 4 days.
The trick is to ask them to enable dual SIM card mode and provision you over to an ESIM so you can run a physical SIM due to single issues. Basically T-Mobile sucks so bad you can't use your phone in some areas without a secondary SIM.
This was really what was happening for me and I had no issues getting it unlocked.
I now have a T-Mobile ESIM and a AT&T physical SIM plus OEM modes unlocked.
I just got a Tmobile Oneplus 8 from a local sale, went straight to XDA for guide on how to sim unlock/bootloader unlock but couldn't find any solid response so I figured I asked. It looks like mobdeep or so (spelling error) could sim unlock and allow bootloader unlock for the device but he is pausing his service? Is that the only way for now? I mean my fiance has t-mobile but I doubt she would want to use my oneplus 8 for 40 days then call in and attempt for an unlock? Do I have to wait until mobdeep resume his service?
I have Tmobile service through a prepaid so I can't call in myself bc it's not an official tmobile account. If someone can guide me that will be awesome. Thanks again!

is there a way to use msm to flash a global rom then update to android 11 beta and then use oem unlock and then use fastboot commands???
That's how i unlocked my bootloader on the tmobile oneplus 7 pro that i financed!
Has Tmo released A11 update yet?
Edit:
Answer:
As per the official information, T-Mobile, a US carrier, has started the development of Android 11-based OxygenOS 11 for the several OnePlus devices.
The Android 11 development is in progress for the OnePlus 8, OnePlus 7T, OnePlus 7T Pro, OnePlus 7 Pro, and OnePlus 6T devices.
After the development process, T-Mobile will start the testing Android 11 for the above-listed devices. The whole process may take up to 30 days for a stable rollout.
Why do I read posts on here about everyone having success in getting t-mobile to unlock their phones even when their still being financed and I have talked to 5 different reps and everyone of them has flat out told me they will not unlock my phone until I pay it off?
I use the same recommended story that I'm an app developer and I need my bootloader unlocked which requires the device to be unlocked.

Have you been with T-Mobile long? I suspect they're more willing if you've been a customer for years and have remained in good standing, always paying your bills in time. Not saying that you haven't, I just think that will help. Maybe they're less inclined with new customers, though I'm just speculating.
Get at T-Force on Twitter, that's what I did. I was honest with them, told them I had to travel (so the unlock for me just happens to also help me here). They initially tried to do the temporary unlock and when that didn't work for whatever reason, they forced the full unlock. Took 5 minutes tops. Of course, YMMV...it depends on the rep you get. If one won't do it, try again the next day and you'll likely get a different rep.

they helped me with the unlock today.
https://www.oneplus.com/unlock_token
So I would love if I could get this XDA community alive as far as the KB2007 is concerned. To update everyone with the process thus far.
I bought two Oneplus 8T+ From T-Mobile less than a month ago. Also started new service with them, go me!!!
I love the functionality of a rooted device. I've been using a non rooted S9+ on att for the last 2+ years.
So here we are.... I buy the phones, take them home. Only to see my OEM unlock greyed out..... DAMMIT.
I call t-mobile, they tell me I have to wait 40 days from the date purchased for them to unlock the SIM. Mark the day on my calendar.
Not really patient for that, so I started looking on good ole' XDA.
To my surprise I find some info that says I should message t-mobile on fb.
Why not??? Lets try it. They got the unlock done within 5 minutes.
Permanent unlock lets gooo!!!! So I reach out to oneplus, to get the bootloader unlocked. Got the unlock code. Used the website, pending application! GREAT!
So questions for the future. Is there any good OnePlus k2007 OFFICIAL Roms out?
And should I be fine using https://androidbiits.com/root-t-mobile-oneplus-8t-plus-5g-kb2007-easily/
as a source to root from? Any information would be gladly appreciated.

Lineage, crDroid, etc, all works with KB2007 with single SIM support. You can flash Global/EU/India OOS for dual SIM support.
It says there are no known issues from converting. So it won't make it anymore difficult for me to connect to tmobile towers? Is there anything I need to lookout for while doing this? Seems like a wild method. Why does the conversion need to happen. Jc?
Radio is not affected.
Do you want Dual SIM? That's the big thing it enables, along with faster updates w/o T-Mobile in the way.

If you flashed back to stock by using MSM for instance you have to start over as if you are taking the phone from the box.
Everything you did prior to the recovery is history and irrelevant to the current state of your phone with the exception of the unlock token.
You don't need a new one the original one will work.

Sorry bro, he closed that thread a while back. It was legit, he unlocked both of mine. Keep a look out to see if he will do it again. Otherwise you may have to call TMO and persuade them to help or tweet the help desk. Happy modding!
So maybe I can give some help with information. T-Mobile will not allow you to seamlessly network unlock without a full payoff. You can typically contact T-Mobile's Twitter and get them to unlock it if you have a specific reason. According to someone I know directly in their support, they will typically unlock with minimal hassle if you have at least three device payments. However, you can typically get an unlock earlier if you give them a valid reason. A lot of people reported network issues with an OTA. Referencing this, and informing them that a bootloader unlock is necessary for repair, they unlocked mine with literally a single payment on file. It took a bit of persistence (and even referencing the XDA thread), but they did unlock it for me. Give it a shot. Worst they can say is no.

Which thread is it in I'm having trouble finding it.
I just called T-Mobile and they approved the unlock for my OP8 (purchased in August 2020). My reasoning was T-Mobile is paying half of the phone (50% off deal) and told them I will be paying my half early (around $230 left). So they said yes to unlock my phone. Give it a try.
What if you buy a T-Mobile locked 8 on ebay? I thought you could still unlock bootloader with msm, am I screwed?

Yeah but I bought the phone off of eBay so I don't think they will unlock. I am thinking of paying for an unlock service that costs around $80-$100 (I don't know of any legitimate ones) or returning the phone and buying the n10 5g. The only thing preventing me from getting the n10 5g is the lcd screen, that is a major issue for me.

though you bought it, are you a tmobile customer? I think if the phone is already paid off, and you use the phone on their network for at least 40 days straight, then you should qualify for an unlock.

I got my TMo OP8 off Swappa and just requested the unlock code from the OnePlus website the day it arrived. It took 7 days literally to the minute to get my unlock code, which I hear is the norm.
But also note that we're all talking about 2 different things: a bootloader unlock (which is what I did) and a carrier unlock (which is what OP was after, I believe).

when i checked the oneplus website for bootloader unlock it required an unlock code from tmobile. can you link me to the page where i can request the bootloader unlock?
edit: I am an idiot, disregard that.
Can you help me with getting the unlock token? what exact commands did you use to get unlock code? I followed the oneplus guide but get the response-
"C:\platform-tools>fastboot.exe oem get_unlock_code
FAILED (remote: 'Please enable OEM unlocking in Settings first')
fastboot: error: Command failed"
my understanding is that you need to sim unlock before you can oem unlock.

this is what i had the ebay seller i got my phone from do, and apparently they are going to unlock tonight; the rep said the phone needs to be used for at least 48hrs on tmo network, but preferably 40 days before unlocking. It seems they have an official policy on carrier unlocking and then another policy which is only used on twitter; all very confusing. my concern now is that custom roms will not work correctly on tmo op8t, as verizon owner have reported crdroid not working for them.
Ok mobdeep is back in the game of unlocking TMO phones. Head to his thread and read the info. Happy modding!
So I have an unlocked carrier t-mobile device and I want an unlocked bootloader. Who do I need to contact to get the 7 days rolling? Thanks

If you guys are wanting to root your Tmobile/Sprint phone here is the guide, i unlocked my phone, unlocked my bootloader & rooted it. To get token it took exactly a week. Here are the guides: Android 11 how to root T-MOBILE OP8 5G
TIP: Go into Settings>Wifi&Network>SIM&Network:> Network Unlock. This should get your phone unlocked which is the first step. Then head over to unlock token - OnePlus (United States) and apply to get your token, which took me 1 week exactly. Here is also a tool incase you brick your phone: Unbrick tool to restore your device to OxygenOS
My T-Mobile OnePlus 7 pro is still locked so I haven't been able to use it for calls since I bought it last year.
Can anyone help me with the unlock?
Is anyone working on a possible unlock at the moment?
I need help desperately.

How is your device locked?
Please provide details.( Not trying to be a smartass or jerk)
Just like taking a car to a mechanic and explaining "My car wont work!", the specifics allow the experts to narrow down and isolate the problem

I just know it is network locked to T-Mobile. The person I bought it from told me so. I had no idea it would be so difficult to unlock. If I did, I wouldn't have bought it. I would be glad to provide the specifics but you'll have to guide on what information you need.
Im in the same situation!! only got my imei, and the phone (clean, but i cant unlock it)
OK, AGameOP7 / Kamatron ... By "Locked/Unlocked", are you just referring to being locked to a carrier and required to use a T-Mobile SIM card?
Or, do you mean that you can't unlock the phone or can't unlock the bootloader?
If it is the former (my guess), T-Mobile is required by law to unlock your phone from being used on T-Mobile's network when the contractual commitments for the phone (usually, a one or two year contract) have been met by the original owner.
If you bought these used from friends/family, I would expect that they have paid the phone off by now. The OP7P is more than 2 years old now.
You should be able to just call up T-Mobile, and have them look up the IMEI in their records to see if your OP7P is able to be unlocked at this point, which it certainly should. However, if it isn't and the T-Mob CSR refuses to unlock the phone ... you have one more option available. With T-Mob, you can purchase a pre-paid SIM and have it on the T-Mobile network for a month or two to finish off any contractual commitments T-Mobile still requires. That would cost you money, but it could be a last-ditch solution if you need it.
Same Problem,Still unlock one plus 7 pro
