On eBay someone is selling Oneplus 7 Pro GM1910 (china version) but they state that it is T-Mobile unlocked.
Does this mean it is just a chinese model with international-ROM installed?
Will this work on USA GSM mobile carriers?
Will I have any trouble with bootloader unlocking/custom recovery/custom ROMS which I would not have?
Is there any downside of this GM1910 (china version) over the normal Oneplus 7 Pro?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I'd steer clear of it.
If it's a T-Mobile phone, there's a good chance that it's blacklisted due to an outstanding balance on the phone.
Another red flag :
Why doesn't the seller just sell the phone in the same condition (with the original firmware), regardless of which model it is?
If anything, they could offer to flash whatever firmware you'd like.
Guessing the price is too good to be true, but, if you're willing to take your chances, good luck.
Why not give Swappa a shot? You can ask the sellers directly any questions you'd like & I bet if you made a fair & reasonable offer, you'd get a better experience that whatever that deal is you presented here.

T-Mobile version is a 1915, the US unlocked version is a 1917.
Stay clear of anything that is not a US version if you are in the US.
While it may work, you will not be able to resell the device to a Verizon user because a 1910 will not work on Verizon.
My G1913(UK) works great in the US, full LTE speeds and VOLTE.

[GUIDE] OnePlus 7 Pro [Region] (MODEL) [Local Upgrade] (Wipe Cache) Battery drain
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/oneplus-7-pro-region-model-variants-t4115051
I'm in USA and on Verizon. No matter how much digging on the forums I'm not sure I can ever be sure which exact version of the 8t would be the carrier unlocked international version with available bootloader unlock and root available. Hoping someone could provide with that info, thanks!
If you buy it directly from OP you should be good to go. Just make sure it's not been purchased through T-Mobile and hardware model KB2007.
KB2005

Why TMobile? Is there not an equilvalent, for example to my V30 that was a non-carrier branded unlocked international model? And Sykojoe mentioned the KB2005, which one is that? I'll admit I haven't even looked up yet.

I'm saying if you are NOT a T-Mobile customer, don't buy a phone that is locked to the T-Mobile network. You need to get them to SIM unlock it then you need to get a bootloader unlock token from OnePlus before you'll be able to flash any other ROMs.
KB2005 is the international version from OnePlus. That is the one you want to get. If the model number is KB2007 it's from T-Mobile.

As stated in that article "This method will not provide you with a T-Mobile SIM unlock."
If you want it sim unlocked you need to contact T-Mobile.

Not that I know of, but you can read/ask here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/t-mobile-bootloader-unlock.4181339/
I would recommend buying a non locked version though. Especially if you live in the eu.

Yes, would suggest buying unlocked Tmob variant unless the post above can do it. But you cant be sure until you get your phone. So..

you wouldn't have bootloader unlock and therefore no root, you posted this in the wrong section BTW.

currently one service can't unlock the newer firmwares and the other is on hiatus, maybe for the same reason.

Hello friends,
Recently I moved to Canada, I have the international model, G781B, I was wondering if it is possible to flash the canadian variant. Reason: 5G didnt work so far, tryied everything to make it work, even manually configuration of Bell network.
Comparing at the gsmarena.com, the hardware looks like the same.
I'm almost giving up and buying a new phone.

Most likely your carries uses mmwave 5g network, and international S20 FE 5g uses the other spectrums for 5g. There is no way a software flfash can change anyting, and I do not think that you can even flash software for thw wrong phone model, as odin check the BL version prior to flashing

Come to think of it, is there even a AT&T branded Pixel Pro?
If you buy it from AT&T, it's not unlockable until the SIM is unlocked after meeting their requirements.
oh i bought the global version. just hope i dont ever have to resort to att versions ever again. i still use their sim card however.
