Help, trying to leave Beta software, cannot seem to figure it out - OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers

Hello, my T-Mobile Oneplus 8t has been converted to International version and placed on the open beta 2 software. I am upgrading to the oneplus 9 and giving this phone to my girlfriend which probably shouldn't be using beta software. I've tried using the conversion method to just simple set my phone back to stock international 10.5.0.6 but its not working. everytime i flash and reset via recovery i boot right back into beta 2. im so confused.

from what i can see in the log pretty much everything is failing when i use the flash all batch file that came with the tmobile conversion kit in this forum

All you need to do is download the downgrade firmware in the open beta 1 post. Flash it via local upgrade.

GUIDE: How to FLASH and RESTORE your STOCK firmware on the TA-1054 (and others)

It seems like there are a few people having trouble going back to stock and getting everything working.
As always, this requires an unlocked bootloader. If you don't have an unlocked bootloader then search google for a $5 service that does. It is what I did.
I flashed Project treble on my TA-1054. It worked great except it kept saying "insert SIM" when there was already a sim card inside, so I could not use it.
I tried to go back to stock but that firmware file on that google drive thread was corrupted, bad upload. Took me a few days to source this original firmware.
There is a tool called OST ( around 115MB), and a patch that comes with it (the smaller file less than 1MB)
The firmware is almost 2 GB
Download everything, including firmware.
1. Install the OST tool.
2. Replace the EXE file in the program files with the patch file you downloaded.
3. Delete the Onlineupdatetoolexe.config file. If you don't do this, the program will not start correctly.
4. Put phone into download mode ( either by powering it off, pluging into USB cable and immediately hold power and volume down. Or if you can boot into android with ADB debugging, just do a adb reboot bootloader.
5. Pick firmware file and click next.
THe first 2 times I tried this, It hanged at the last second. Third time was a charm. Give it time. Use a good USB cable.
I assume that this is the same way to flash other firmware files for other devices.
As soon as i get my hands on a android one firmware, I will flash it.
Or if anyone can guide me on how to extract the firmware on my TA-1045 USA version and flash it to my TA-1054 Chinese , let me know. Cheers.
Google drive folder with all the files I uploaded.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NbzO6lfSGacjM2wqrtBg3jMpljsZswne
Thanks bro...I am downloading it.
PL2-2380-0-00WW-B01.NBx.zip is global firmware name. firmware size is 4gb.
thanks! for extract is with nb0 tools FIH Mobile v3.4
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cSgjrZUxIsN7oLbo7AP-RnILDZdswmB-
its android one firmware. I have no tool for flash...plz try and let me know
Flashing now. Will report back after flashing is done. thanks!!
Edit: Looks like the version I have for OST does not read NBX files. Will try to update that and report back. I have ntool but no working username password
I cannot flash the NBX file. I changed it to nb0 but OST LA says cannot read firmware. Is there any other way to flash?
EDIT: I went ahead and purchased a bunch of credits for NTOOL.
I will flash and see if it works!
It fails with the mdtp.img partition (no such partition) . I would think that it would just skip that partition but it did not. I will later try to extract and flash separately
For some reason when I try to flash the golabl firmware using ntool, my bootloader gets locked after the mdtp flashing fails and I have to re-unlock my bootloader and flash the original 7.1 chinese firmware using the OLD version of OST. ( the new one kept saying firmware corrupt)
When I bought the credits for Ntool, I also got access to the downloads section so I will be uploading all the firmwares they have, ( there is like 5 different ones)
I was reading how the nokia &+ users are converting their chinese variants to global variants using the android P beta rom.
We also have a P beta rom so I will be trying to install that to see if it works or not.
As some of you may realize, I am determined to make this happen! The reason is because my USA android One version has only 3gb of ram but the chinese version comes with 4GB.

can u flash my chinese rom which is nbo format via ntool. I have have ntool but i dont have user name,password, i downloaded rom which u provide.my device still cant connect to mobile data.
NBX format only works on Ntool. but Ntool needs working user name and password to works. OST cant read or flash Nbx format.
if u get Ntool with working user id .. then plz flash my device also via remote mode like teamviewer.
Ntool Bricked my device. the only real restore you can do is by using ost with the stock chinese firmware. edit your apn. why is your data not working?
Global rom cant flash via ntool in Ta1054..showed error in partition. if it will be solved then china to global will be easy process..
I'm eagerly watching your progress. I'm in the same boat sitting on a TA-1054 wanting to get on Oreo without chinese firmware :x
Keep up the good work. It is really appreciated!
Edit: By the way, are the custom and original chinese firmware files available anywhere?
I saw someone mention a firmware in the google drive for TA-1054 but I'm uncertain whether that is the official one or the custom one.
Its the Chinese official ROM you get it from Google drive folder in Nokia 6 mena firmware topic

Actually, the one in the mena topic was corrupted for me.
I have uploaded a good version in the first post of this thread. I've only had success flashing it wih OST.
But yesterday Ntool bricked my phone. No download mode, no screen, no usb recognition with windows. I am not really sure what to do now. If i can't get my pc to recognize it then the phone might be dead./ I may do a warranty exchange when i go visit china next month but if they check my bootloader, they will void my warranty. anyone know how to unbrick?
Also. The nokia 7+ forums said that if you flash the android P beta rom, then the chinese vaqriant becomes gloabl.
I went ahead and downloaded the android P beta for 6.1 but now that the phone is bricked I can't really test anything. I will sell my extra 1045 before i get curious and brick that too.

Can you share the link for P beta for 6.1?
Also, I own a TA-1054 model and I am in India. I ordered it from Amazon. It had Android One Oreo firmware preinstalled before I messed up and got loops. Later I flashed a GSI to at least boot it up.

Ahh I see. For some reason my sim slots were not working for me with GSI. But mine is dead now, so nothing I can do.
Here is the P link.

How to flash it?
Edit: Also OnlineUpdaterTool in your 1st post asks for a password. What's the password?

I put the original chinese firmware on the first post.
There is an option to install google play store, but that would make your rom unable to receive updates.

OnePlus 7 Pro MSM Tool "Packed image not exist"

I am trying to rebrand my t-mobile OnePlus 7 Pro back to the t-mobile software after changing it to international a few months ago. I have to trade in my phone with t-mobile and have to flash the software. I downloaded all the necessary files, but when I run the MSM tool, I get the "Package image not exist" error. I have tried running it regular and as an admin and still get it. I do still have the OP7Pro international files and the MSM tool from that and tried launching it, but it seems that that one works.
Any ideas?

did you fix? Same thing for me
Idk if you guys figured this out yet, but I came across this myself, messing with my old Tmobile Based OnePlus 7 Pro, with the whole "package image not exist", The Msm tool has to be in the same folder as the guacamole zip, and the L2 drivers, and using something like Winrar/7zip you gotta extract them from the .rar and .7z. then run the Msm tool again. Hope this helps.

If you are still needing some help with this, I can try to dump my firmware and put it together for flashing in fastboot.
@EVOuser94 @phillipmckinnish @Roccothepro
This is also for all other T-Mobile users who want to convert back to TMO firmware.
I uploaded Android 11.0.1.2 firmware images to a new ROM thread. To convert back to TMO firmware without using the MSM tool you can follow the instructions in the thread.
Since you are converting from International or another non TMO ROM, you will be required to wipe your data.
T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro OOS 11.0.1.2 Stock Firmware (Root Optional)

[Resolved] TMO OP7 Root not on International

Hey everyone, I've been trying to search for a solution to rooting my OP7 from T-Mobile and I think I have hit a dead end so I went ahead and created this post to ask for some advice.
So backstory: I have a business account with T-Mobile and they allow me to unlock my phone with little to no hassle at all, I unlocked my T-Mobile phone, and my OP7 got updated to Android 11 over night that I didn't realize it happened my current build is: Oxygen OS 11.0.1.1.GM31CB and my model is GM1915.
Okay so I am following this guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/unlock-bootloader-root-oneplus-7-pro/
I have followed through with Step 1, unlocking my OEM, and Step 2, unlocking my bootloader. So for step 3, the guide says to flash TWRP and from what I've read there is no TWRP that works for Android 11 right now so I am not sure if I can do that. Then step 4 is to flash Magisk after booting to recovery, but I am not sure if I can actually do that with TWRP?
So the question I got is how do I go about rooting my OP7? Can I root without TWRP? The guides video also said I needed a bin file of the current OS but there seems to be none available for GM31CB. Curious where I go from here. Can I roll back to Android 10? Do I need to switch over to the international version? and if I did would I be able to downgrade back to Android 10?
Thanks in advance.
Edit 1: I just converted to the international version and will be rooting that way.
was just about to answer you...hope u got it working the international way...i have twrp working...u must flash a zip to decrypt your internal...search or hit me later...i can email it to you or something...and if possible...next time you update to A11 Tmobile can you save it?....can't find it anywhere online...
That guide is pretty outdated I feel like. If you have you phone unlocked through T-Mobile you can simply follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...unlock-twrp-root-and-update.3940368/#poststop
It's the one I followed to get my phone rooted + twrp installed.
I am in the same boat, T-mobile decided to push android 11 and rebooted. Android 11 is running fine with all my data intact but i have lost root and recovery. Trying to figure out easiest way to regain root, not worried about TWRP at the moment. Seems like patching the boot.img with magisk is the way to go but I cannot find a download from T-mobile for the full update to extract the payload.bin and boot.img. Is the payload.bin accessible using a file manager on the phone to copy to sdcard then transfer to PC? If not looks like waiting for some workaround or formatting data and starting from scratch
OOO just saw OPs edit, looks like i might be switching over to international firmware too and going that route. Did not plan on doing this today.

T-Mobile to EU issues

Wonder if anyone else is having these issues. Went from T-Mobile to EU version, updated to C33 last night and I still have horrible battery life.
Phone has a massive battery drain and when I restart takes over 5 minutes to connect to cell service, sometimes even longer.
Any thoughts? Thinking of going to a custom rom

My first post on XDA forums. but just reflash using the TMO msm tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4180981/ choose OOS 11.0.7.9 then use the TMO to EU msm tool again, unlock the bootloader using the unlock.img you got from oneplus then run through the setup after this internal storage wont be wiped. then download the oneplus updater tool. turn on advanced mode, go for the stable full version but instead of choosing your device as the EU version, choose just oneplus 8T that way you get the international version. install full OOS update. not increments. Then just update to the latest android 12 from settings, about phone and update. if you want to stay on android 11 then make sure that you do all those steps again before using the updater app to upgrade to android 12. just install the latest OOS update from oneplus 8t repo ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-8t-rom-ota-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.4193183/ ) 11.0.13.13: OnePlus8TOxygen_15.O.31_GLO_0310_2202182359 go to settings and search for update. click on the cog and choose the OOS 11 update. Sorry if I made any grammer mistakes. If you want root I'll reply with the easiest way I found to root oneplus 8T. The latest update too.

thanks for the reply, so the International version is the better build? I submitted for the bootloader unlock key. Still waiting.
thanks
Technically you can already flash regular kebab 2005 without unlocking the boot loader unless you want to have root. Just download the full update from oxygen updater and locally update to the INTERNATIONAL version without boot loader unlocked.

Question Easiest/best way to get to stock Android 13?

So I've got a TMobile OnePlus 9 that's been converted to the global ROM. From here what's the easiest way to get updated to stock OxygenOS Android 13? When I run the system update in settings it'll update to Android 12 but the phone says that there's no sim card in. Am I doing something wrong? I don't mind unlocking the bootloader and flaking a recovery if there's a stock rooted zip I can flash.
I've tried myself but updating anything to 12 and up my touchscreen stops working, but using the TMobile India modded MSM should work getting to the global rom "but now realizing it was cuz I used something else to recover from a brick" but here
Safely convert regions (includes T-Mobile) as well as restore the ability to use OOS12 after using Indian MSM to recover from a brick (Windows only)
It seems lots of us have had to use the India 9 Pro MSM to recover our devices and in the process, we lose the ability to go back to OOS12 or ROMs based on that firmware because the touchscreen stops working and also trying to convert T-Mobile...

this doesn't work for my device le2119 the mod fix zip throws an error unsupported device eu. I made the mistake of activating slot b. is there any way of switching back without fastboot. all I get is a black screen no matter what button combo I press. I can only get edl and I'd rather not flash the eu msm again.

ive gotten the same error too, im on 11.2.10.10, but cant upgrade to OOS12/13 without the touchscreen breaking/dual sim bug, i forgot the link to the 9 pro india msm to flash it with, but ive tried flashing one that was 9 pro and kept getting "device not match image", no clue why
I just read somewhere that downgrading to 11.2.2.2 may work but only place I can find that firmware is on some Chinese site. I can flash the eu pro version all day long. but now I tried flashing an India mod firmware with no success and reflasjed eu again but phone is stuck at 0% power and all I get is a bootloop
