I used a patched msm tool to unlock my T-mobile locked oneplus 7t and it worked perfectly. But it doesnt seem there is one for the Oneplus 8t. Is there a chance that we will see one? Im searching every day looking for a way to get around an unlock token and having to wait it out. Ive only had it for a week. Its driving me crazy lol.

I think you need to sim unlock before converting if I understand that thread correctly.

On my 7t I didn't have to do that that's why I've been searching for the same patched version for the 8t
Get it sim unlocked here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ervice-oneplus-samsung-google-lg-moto.4231597
Then flash the conversion. No known way to bypass sim lock

You need to get your T-mobile One+7Pro sim unlock 1st.

^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.

You either didn't follow the correct guides. Or did something incorrectly. I bootloader unlocked my t mobile sim locked device
I bought a oneplus 7 pro without paying much attention to the fine print. The phone apparently has an IMEI issue and it locked to T-mobile. I want to use it in UAE, is there any way I can unlock it and use it here. It has already been shipped and I can't cancel my order.
PS: Can I unlock my bootloader and install custom roms.
Dinner... You should be able to unlock the bootloader and root it, but it will remain Sim-locked to t-mobile. There are services online that will unlock it from the t-mobile network.

I think there might be a way actually. Haven't personally tried it, but many have said it works. It looks like on the the Android 10 Developer Preview 3, you can actually bypass the token, and unlock the bootloader! I'm not sure if the phone would still technically be SIM locked to T-Mobile (if you wanted to use another carrier), but honestly have no idea. But at least from what it sounds like you should be able to unlock the bootloader, and flash custom roms.
Check out these posts, and the main XDA article that has instructions:

You still need an unlock token from OnePlus to unlock the TMO model, even on global firmware. It takes about a week from request to processing. You can get around it by flashing the A10 DP3 OTA, and it won't check for the token.

Yes. The bootloader can be unlocked, device can be rooted and custom ROMS can be flashed.
You need to get your sim unlocked. From there you can boot loader unlock...
Here are the exact steps to your question: https://support.oneplus.com/app/ans...-to-unlock-bootloader-for-oneplus-smart-phone
I think its going to be pretty much the same as the OnePlus 6 and 7 on T-Mo. I had the 6T. I wrote a guide for unlocking and getting around boot loader. Not my work, just compiled everyone elses work in a central location. But yeah, here are the steps to unlock, convert, and go back to stock for T-Mobile 6T: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/guide-sim-bootloader-unlock-root-t3921795
Based off other peoples posts, I think the 8 will be the exact same steps. I just need to get my SIM card unlocked. Once I do I go bootloader unlock then custom ROM.

I'm going to chime in here in regards to the unlock code process.
It took exactly one week to receive an email from oneplus.com. don't bother calling t-mobile for help on this because they have zero access to those unlock codes.
In addition, you will need to do a sim unlock. mobbdepp is the person who can do this for you. He has an OP devoted and dedicated to the sim unlock process, guidelines and whatnot. He helped me get my sim unlock for my oneplus 8.
Now, I'm going to step back and wait until you receive your unlock code from oneplus first.
I and the XDA community are here to assist you! :good:

I'm fairly comfortable with fastboot. I've rooted and unlocked bootloaders on devices before, just not in a while. I have the MSM unbrick tool for the Tmobile Version of the OP8 and I've already used it a couple times. I'm pretty comfortable. Device is on 10.5.7.IN55CB.
My sole reason for rooting is to fix the fingerprint scanner from relocking the bootloader after realizing a lot of my apps wouldn't work.

Now that you mention the fingerprint scanner, have you/did you make a backup of your persist.img? NOTE: From what I've gathered, persist.img are unique to each phone and cannot be shared. If you didn't, your persist.img must be lost forever. Again, this is from what I gathered through these forums and posts.
I have a OP8 from Tmobile that they will not unlock. Has anyone found a way to rebrand the 8 away from TMobile without unlocking the bootloader?
I have found the modded MSM tool for the 8T but nothing for the 8 except the original MSM tool.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
I've been wondering the exact same thing , all it is is something in the code telling it relock the bootloader after flashing the software and I know that part works because I've downgraded android versions on a locked financed phone three times now... You would think everyone would be asking to make one for the 8 also..

Wait a few days, call in and let 'em know it's because you're developing for the device.
If you're out of your 14 day return window they're generally pretty nice about it, but it'll still depend on the rep you get. (Can't take a return phone thats been unlocked, causes all sorts of issues)
