8T with ROMS & Verizon - OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers

I'm looking at getting an 8T but my interest in flashing roms is too great. I've read through a few threads about roms not working on Verizon.
Is this still an issue? I need to have phone service (obviously). Would I be happy in being able to use various ROMS while maintaining Verizon service? 5g even?

Anyone could give insight?

5G doesn't work on any ROM with VZW even though the phone supports the 5G nsa Low bands. I've even tried forcing the phone into 5G via the programming menu. Verizon simply won't allow it for non certified phones. The phone tries over and over and eventually loses all service until you reset the radios.

Verizon 5G does work on this device, following this guide here. Source: My carrier is Verizon. But I as well have tried ROMs, and Verizon does not work on any I have tested. Quite disappointing.
EDIT: Verizon does work on the latest LineageOS and HavocOS versions.

Need a phone recommendation

Okay, I have searched for several weeks and would like a recommendation.
I currently have a Kaiser (AT&T Tilt). I have tried several ROMs with the phone over the past few years, but I clearly need to replace my phone. I live in an area that practically eliminates having any carrier other than AT&T or Verizon. The service with Sprint & T-Mobile is terrible.
I would like a phone running Android. I have tried the Kaiser port and enjoyed using it more than any ROM I have tried. I am fully aware that this poses a problem, as neither AT&T or Verizon currently have an Android phone.
As far as I know, I have three options ...
Purchase a T-Mobile phone (G1 or MyTouch) and use it on AT&T, giving up any hope of using the 3G network.
Purchase the Google Dev phone and use it on AT&T, again giving up any hope of using the 3G network.
Purchase a Rogers G1, pray for a root kit, and hope that it works correctly on AT&T's networks.
Is there anything I am missing? I'd really like to upgrade in the near future, but as far as I see I'm between a rock and a hard place.

I'd take the Hero in a heartbeat ... but is there any way to get one in the US before late fall/early winter?
Not sure about that
But you can always buy it from overseas

[Q]Mobile network problem during searching carrier.

Hello i didn't find anywhere similar problem. I have N5, rooted and with stock rom & kernel, i have a problem with mobile network. In my country there is a network "Play" and it is using own transmitters or from other networks and it is working as roaming network. When i want to find other compatible carriers from menu (manual mode) searching took so much time, more than few minutes. There is a sollution for this? Or fix?
Same situation when i switch from 2G to LTE mode - same results.
Best regards g1b50n
I don't think you can just switch carriers from the network menu. You need their sim card to use them. "Roaming" is usually just automatic, if you have it enabled in setting.
You don't click on different carriers to roam. At least I've never heard of that. To use a carrier, you need their sim and APN settings.
Call your carrier and ask about it. They should know exactly how it should work.
In my country carrier "Play" allow to use other networks. I mean a problem when i want to find other carriers

Then took so much time to find other networks.
I can connect with all of them (only orange not working cause was for testing)
Just want to know why looking for other networks take so much time.
Sorry, never heard of it....so can't guess why.
It probably falls under the" it is what it is" category.

[Q] some questions before buying online

what's the difference between various letters after n915? i read about brand versions, so, I assume:
n915a - at&t version
n915s - sprint version
n915t - t-mobile version
but n915g, n915, n915f? is there also a verizon version or any other brand/no-brand shoud i become aware?
i come from an european no brand s4 gt-i9505, i'd like to buy a compatible (if possible no brand too) note edge.
and, another question, is there knox technology in this phone too? and if it is, can i root/flash/mod it without lost warranty?
thanks in advance
...well i guess i was right don't buying it.

You definitely don't want the Verizon version n915v.
T mobile and AT&T have gsm phones, but you'll have to look at which can be unlocked.
I would ask on the note 4 forums since it is similar and you'll get more views there.

Right now the only GSM version that has root (if you are buying a US carrier branded device), is the T-Mobile version.

That is the W8 model they reviewed. (Canada only model)
Would that have something to do with it? I don't keep up on all the bands/frequencies that all the carriers all over use.
I really was hoping the S6 would move away from all these region specific models since they are managing the radios on their soc with Broadcom now.
You almost have to buy an iPhone if you travel internationally a lot. I don't know of any other phone that has everything covered by the radio.

The Sony Z3 sold in Taiwan has most world bands on it of LTE.
Samsung and HTC suck at this. They should at least release an international model on their own website for those who do not mind forking out full price to get an unlocked model with most LTE Bands for those travel often.
Still just GSM though right?
I thought the iPhone covered much more than that. Maybe I'm wrong..

Question eSIM not working (Vodafone UK)

Whenever I try to activate an eSIM in my 7 Pro (using a fresh eSIM generated from Vodafone UK) I get an error of:
Subject code: 8.1.1
Reason code: 3.8
... utter crap - can't this phone even get the basics right?
Mine worked fine yesterday on Vodafone UK with my Pixel 7 Pro. Scanned the QR code from the pdf emailed to me and it activated immediately.
I've re-created the QRCode about 10 times now. Each time it fails to activate on the Pixel 7 Pro, but works perfectly on an Oppo Find X5 Pro
Have you tried to manually add it?
I imagine Vodafone will claim it's unsupported and be no help.
Hey, did you get this sorted? I have exactly the same issue on VFUK.
guys, any update?
I want this phone, but I use 2 sims (1psim, 1esim) and my esim doesn't work. It's a dealbreaker for me

Thnx!
I have ee physical sim and vodafone E sim. Working perfectly. If you're having issues I'd imagine vodafone would be the best place to start
