hi
Which is the most supported variant of OP8 ?
I am looking a upgrade my OP A5010, looking for a dual sim Onyx Black 256GB model, I want good XDA support for the phone, been a Lineage OS user for a very long time (my daily driver). I am in the US
iN2010 seems to be a chinese variant, easily available on ebay.
Ref:
iN2017 (T-mobile which I believe one should avoid for various reasons. )
iN2020 (China),
iN2021 (India),
iN2023 (Europe/Asia),
iN2025 (NA/USA/google)
G
PS looks like I mixed up OP8 and OP8Pro numbers
It is sugguested to check your sim card vendor's band lists
Here is a list may help
https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePlus8Pro/comments/imim5w/what_is_the_technical_difference_in2023_in2020/
unfortunatlly, by now there is no enough stable / official lineage version for OnePlus8.
and after upgraded to A11, TWRP is no longer supported, neither does EdXposed.

Hello everyone,
as per the title, can i buy the mi mix 2s in china from a local seller and then switch it to a Global Rom?
Will i encounter bands problem for example? i live in EU
Thank youu
Yes, you can just install the global rom, I'm living in germany and also got the chinese version. You may check what LTE bands are used in your country since the chinese version does not have all the bands the global version has. However, the extra bands the global version has are mostly used in africa and america so chances are good that you'll be fine
Are you entirely sure that the two versions come with different bands? I can't find any confirmation anywhere

Yes they do come with different bands. I do not recommend you buying the chinese variant!
Look for the model that ends with XA ! this is the Global one with all bands.
Trust us. There is a reason for different models to exist.
The Chinese model can install global ROM but you cannot lock bootloader afterwards so it is not safe and many apps will not work.
Global model has more bands than base Chinese models but same as 8/256 Chinese model.
You can, but it would be "better" to buy it and install a rooted ROM from here if you want full features like Android Pay to function.
You can't relock the bootloader if you change from the chinese ROM.
Yes you could, but that may be not suggested depending on the model you want to get...
For 6+64 / 6+128 models, China variant (XE model) differs from global variant (XA model): XE has less band support and you need to keep your BL unlocked to install global ROM. So you'd better not buy these two models in China.
Still, I can show you the missing bands on XE model if you'd like to know, but anyway I don't think it necessary to buy it...
For 8+256 model, there's no two variants, only one XA model for both China and other countries. You should be safe to buy it.
And, if you get XE variant and flash global ROM with BL unlocked, you still cannot install Magisk - you'll see bootloop and then enter recovery. That's another important reason why I don't recommend XE variant. The only way to install Magisk is to install MiPa kernel instead of the stock one.
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 was given Oneplus 8T+ 5G (version of T-Mobile carrier). I converted to EU platform after reading Craznazn's post. But now I want Rom ColorOS on this device. Is there any way? I also hope Craznazn can make MSM Tool with ColorOS. How can I contact and donate to him? Take it as a support to motivate him to work for everyone. Thank you everyone for your attention.
You can upgrade and install the full package of hydrogen OS locally after converting to the EU version, and then download the full package of ColorOS12 for local upgrade again, but it seems that there will be a problem with charging, and the 65W warp charging full package cannot be activated. You can go here to download https:/ /yun.daxiaamu.com/
Hello,
I have an Indian one plus 7 pro which I bought when I was in India. I have moved to UK few months ago and having a hard time with some apps to work on this model.
I have tried possible things like vpn and fakegps and nothing works with some apps.
Is it possible to change my device to global variant or Eu variant by flashing other roms?
Looking for an idiot proof guide to convert my KB2007 to a global or EU version? Been awhile since ive used oneplus Looks like things have changed a dit? and the guides I am seeign are over a year old. Any help would be appreciated
a Here are 8 threads. Please ask detailed questions in the 8t thread.
download EU version full ota and try local update
translate using google translate
Oops, looks like I was dumbfounded
Surely there should have been a t-mobile conversion thread in the 8t thread
Convert kb2007 (NA, T-Mobile) to kb2005 (NA, OnePlus) for dual sim dual volte/vowifi, possible?
I read some xda/reddit posts on this topic. It seems: - OOS 11 is the only option to stably run kb2005 (oneplus dual sim) firmware on kb2007 (tmobile single sim). And a dual sim card tray can be used so that the second sim works for volte/vowifi...
