I have a chinese redmi 6 that was flashed with a global rom and bootloader locked. using mtk bypass i have managed to flash a chinese rom (all files apart from CUST) but now i have no IMEI number. I plan to unlock the bootloader but need a sim to work to do so.
Any hints as to which method of imei repair i need to read up on please.
Hi brother, did you found a solution to this problem?
You can unlock, sim still work but no network

Your persist and custom partitions are corrupted. Search how to fix them aka flash new.
Pro tip: before you play with flashers unlock your bootloader first!

^This. You need to sim unlock before converting to international, or you will be unable to unlock the bootloader and have OEM unlocking. At least until they fix the MSM to be able to skip sim unlocking.

Yes, you can try it that way. If the device is already fully paid off you can also simply contact Tmobile and they will be able to sim unlock it for you already as well, or if you haven't paid off and want to chance it, you can try contacting them on twitter or through the tmobile app and try to get the customer service rep to unlock it. Though if you haven't paid it off it's probably easier and faster to DM the OP from that thread.

I have the international version and am also stuck with the greyed out OEM Unlocking option. My bootloader is also still locked. Any help would be very much appreciated. I have tried using fastboot to oem unlock but I get this error
FAILED (remote: Please enable OEM unlocking in developer options first)
finished. total time: 0.007s
It was on a Chinese ROM before and I did use https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/Fulldowngrade_wipe_18821_190425_0253_user_fix_revision_MP_release.zip to downgrade so I could switch to the English ROM.
I also have a one plus 7 pro. It has been carrier unlocked but still the OEM unlock is greyed out. It is running Android 10. Is there a way to 'ungrey' the OEM unlock option? Thx
Do a search for this "The T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro’s bootloader can be unlocked by flashing Android Q" and fallow the instructions. Instruction are on xda.
There is no need to unlock the sim on the T-Mobile phone to unlock the bootloader.
Phone needs to be on the international firmware. This can be done with the patched msm tool. Then downgrade to android development preview 3 using local upgrade on phone. Unlock via fastboot and finally root and install a working rom or do the rollback to android p via local upgrade. Search for the guide and fallow the instructions. It really simple.
Kind of related. I converted my t mobile oneplus 7 pro to the international version and am eligible for a sim unlock. I tried to do it over chat but they said since it's not their version of android I would have to do a factory reset (which wouldn't convert it back to t-mobile stock) in order to sim unlock it, does anyone know how to sim unlock it on the international version with t-mobiles help. I would have thought t-mobile could just do it on their end but I guess not, and I guess they are kind of idiots over there to, because initially they had no idea what i meant when i said i converted it to the international version (heck they still didn't understand that I changed the firmware/ROM) so resetting it wouldn't make it a t-mobile phone again.

Backup everything you might need and revert back to T-Mobile stock firmware with msm tool. Use the provided app by the T- Mobile stock firmware to unlock sim.

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

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 I convert T mobile to global firmware directly or is there any special process?

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.

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.

I think they are websites that supposedly unlock Sim or devices.
