Is there anyway to change the TMobile stock software to global oxygen OS, has anyone ever tried to rebrand the Oneplus 8 TMobile to global version?
What are the pros and cons
There are guides for just that in this very forum.
The pros are faster updates and more compatible mods cons are you have to reset and erase your device to do it.

Just a noob question?
Long story short I haven't had success unlocking T-Mobile..
I think I can unlock boot loader with msm tool.
My question is if I successfully unlocked Boot loader and flash any custom ROM will I be able to use any SIM?
Thanks

Does this method void warranty ? My one plus 8t is less than a month old?

Yes, your warranty will be void but unless you're really rough physically with your phone, there's almost nothing you can do to it that the folks here at XDA can't fix!

If nothing else, you can always use a separate MSM tool and revert it back to the T-Mobile version. No harm, no foul.

I think I read something about using MSM tool to flash EU or GLOBAL firmware and not need to request unlock code (which voids warranty) because I can unlock boot loader on the spot.
Can I revert to T-Mobile firmware with locked boot loader just I case if I have to return it for warranty
Thank you very much

The link I provided will convert your T-Mobile version (KB2007) to the EU version (KB2003).
If you need to go back to the T-Mobile version, there is a separate MSM tool to do that, it will also relock the bootloader at the same time for warranty purposes.

Can you please provide me with the separate MSM that also relock the boot loader?

Another question
Can I convert T mobile to global firmware directly or is there any special process?
Thanks
Use the link I sent you. That will convert it to the EU version. Setup your phone using just the defaults. Then download Oxygen Updater from the Play Store and within the app you can choose what version (Global, India, European) you want to install/upgrade to.

Flashing to a different firmware does not alter the SIM lock/unlock state. If your device is SIM locked to T-Mobile, it will remain SIM locked to T-Mobile after flashing to the Global, EU, or other regional firmware. T-Mobile devices can only be SIM unlocked on the T-Mobile firmware.

So in other words T-Mobile Sim can be unlocked only if I flash to Global or EU T-Mobile firmware?

No. You can only SIM unlock the device on the T-Mobile firmware. Flashing to EU or Global only allows you to unlock the bootloader.

You need to meet the SIM Unlock requirements for T-Mobile to process the SIM Unlock for the device Then using the T-Mobile Unlocking app, go through the steps and select Permanent Unlock. If it completes, the device will restart and will work with any carrier SIM.

If T-Mobile doesn't want to unlock my device. There is no other path? I have tried a lot of times with a T-Mobile rep they say it wasn't purchased at T-Mobile directly. Please help?
Thanks
I think they are websites that supposedly unlock Sim or devices.
Any ideas on that?.

Oneplus reps told me my token is coming.
fastboot flashing unlock (per the tutorial) asked for token, so I couldn't unlock bootloader
How do I flash token so that I can follow the rooting guide?

What model do you have? T-Mobile?

You don't need the token but the process you use has to follow the right guide. I did it without the token but had the dual sim glitch and then followed some stuff on here to get it to work right.. I'll explain further when I'm home unless someone else has a clue what I did to guide you safely

This worked for you ?
No, I ended up using this to convert from tmo to global (simple), then the unlock works, then fastboot twrp image, perma install twrp while in it, boot and install magisk apk direct install. Works perfect!

*A11 OOS11 is all I can confirm for.
You were SIM locked correct?
You didn't need the token you were awaiting OnePlus to send you , right ?
Yes. I coulda done it on day one but I didnt know about the conversion method. Pretty sure Im still sim locked.
Awesome. I'm going to do mine tonight. Thanks for the responses, much appreciated considering we were pretty much in the same boat on what we were seeking to do.

Complete newbie here. I am trying to root my KB2007. I bought it on Amazon and after an update the Oxygen version is 11.0.13.13.KB05BA. I think I was able to get ADB figured out and the bootloader is now unlocked. I’ve looked at some guides and it seems like I will need a boot img that matches my phone to start rooting. I can’t seem to find this and my research has been telling me that the KB2007 is a T-mobile version that can have OEM unlocked can’t be done without a code even though I was able to without contacting T-mobile. Can anyone help me out or guide me on how to root my device?
