Hi all
So are OnePlus phones like pixels where there is no way of SIM unlock without getting network to give unlock code?
I'm getting mine from EE in UK and they said I can only unlock after 6 month's!
Sprint OnePlus 7 Pro 5G
I'm Also interested in unlocking my device!
I bought mine from ebay and is sprint locked, I live in France and as you can imagine I can't use it here.
Any help would be much appreciated!

EE's OnePlus models are unlocked by default?
Hello, I hope someone here can help me, since I've already tried everything I know.
I bought a OnePlus 7 Pro 5g from ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/193541542389?ViewItem=&item=193541542389) because I checked on T-Mobiles website and it says it was carrier compatible I'm also aware that the 5g won't work on T-Mobile. The seller assures me the device is unlocked and when I go into System Updates, it says below UICC Unlock that the device is unlocked. But when I insert my T-Mobile sim card it won't connect to the network. These are the things I tried:
Inserted the T-Mobile sim card but it won't connect to the network.
Tried going into settings/SIM & Network/Network Operators and chose T-Mobile 4g but after a while it says the sim card can't register to the selected network.
Tried T-mobile customer support and they say I need to talk to Sprint.
Talked to Sprint customer support and they said I need a new sim card.
Went to T-Mobile and got a new sim card but still nothing.
Did a factory reset but still did not work.
Wiped data & cache but still not working.
Tried updating PRL, Profile and UICC Unlock under the System Updates Setting of the phone using WIFI internet and I got an error.
I don't know what else to try. I even contacted the seller and he assures me the phone is unlocked and that it should work without a problem. I'm in Puerto Rico and using T-Mobile but I can't get this to work no matter what. Can anyone provide some insight on this or does someone here has any experience using this model (GM1925) with T-Mobile?
*Edit*
Forgot to add. When I insert the SIM card and it tries to connect to the network, after a while I get a notification that's titled Phone Services and it says Phone not allowed for voice. Anyone know what that means?
Have you tried with Force LTE app on Android and selecting the correct mode for Tmobile?
Had a similar issue when using Visible phone on Tmobile. After using the App and selecting the correct Network Mode was able to get everything working

Well my problem was solved. According to an awesome telegram group I found and with the help of an awesome member called Chris Starling, we managed to get the phone working. Turns out that some Sprint phones being sold on ebay are semi-blacklisted and will not work with US carriers. The method to solve the problem involves tampering with the IMEI and I barely understood it, the member Chris basically did everything and got the phone working again. So this thread can be closed.
I suggest that no one buy phones from the same seller I got it from.
Hi Lpedraja2002,
If possible can you please elaborate on your solution? I am faced with this same issue, a locked Sprint SIM from an ebay scam. I am familiar with the concept of rooting and changing the IMEI using a root app, but would love to know some more details.
Cheers
Hi.
I also have the same issue. I got the gm1925 model as present. I'm not living in USA but can't use the network in my country. I try 3 sim from several Carrier but it didn't work.
Can you please tell as how you did it.
There is a MSM tool tutorial for unlocking the bootloader on the locked 5G variant. Normally blowing away the software from recovery would work but if Sprint locked the SIM via the IMEI number than it should be possible to unlock the SIM by changing the IMEI. I will be trying this soon using a IMEI changer root app, or maybe using ADB or something. Will update next week.
Edit: can confirm it is impossible to unlock the sim, even by changing the IMEI. One has to get in contact with Sprint.
Following up on this as I recently purchased a OnePlus 7 Pro 5G and am now stuck with it. Wish I read this thread earlier. Can you pass along your contact Chris Starling if he would be able to help?
If it's who I'm thinking of I may know the guy.

If you guys could please edit your posts to not include first and last names that would be wonderful.
Usernames exist for a reason.
Pm if you need help with a semi-blacklisted device, and also don't discuss IMEI flashing on XDA it's against the rules.
i need a help on sim unlock oneplus 7 pro (Sprint) and oneplus 8 (tmobile or Sprint)
I have a Sprint GM 1925 that is debranded and sim unlocked. Both Verizon and T-Mobile confirm it is unlocked but it shows as not compatible and can't be activated by either carrier. I also get a notification that's titled Phone Services and it says Phone not allowed for voice when inserting a T-Mobil SIM. So any help guys?
To everyone here I might have a possible solution.
I was looking for the answer here and didn't found it, so contacted sprint by chat by this link https://www.sprint.com/en/legal/unlocking-your-sprint-device.html talked through chat and waited for 30 minutes. Then I looked for system/updates and then click the UICC unlock it search out for updates and then unlocked the phone. My phone is a one plus 7 pro gm1925. Just hope this could help someone out here.
Hi all,
Amazon and many online retailers are selling this model GM1925. Please advise whether it’s worth to buy. My friend bought this and using via T-Mobile network with 4g however it’s not working with Xfinity Mobile network sim.

If you know the original owner you can ask them to unlock it for you as it is free for the original owner to request the unlock. If not you will have to pay £8.99. Check the EE website for a comprehensive guide, I don't think I can post links on XDA.
Is it asking for a unlock code or no, just asking because I to know if pixel phone are server side unlocked like iPhones?
Hello I got an oneplus 9 EU.
I can only connect to 5g with the dial up code but that's not permanent, I did contact my carrier (giffgaff O2) but they said everything if fine on their end so I contacted oneplus which they told me to send logs which I did, but shortly after that they sent me a survey about how they did and didn't even reply if they are going to look into that.
So I'm asking the community if there is a way to make it work permanently without having to unlock the bootloader or rooting the device?
