Android Q on Converted T-Mobile OP7 Pro

As you know finally there is the MSM Tool for converting your T-Mobile branded OP7 Pro to international.
I have fully converted, downloaded the Android Q Developer preview and tried installing it via Local Upgrade has instructions said with no luck.
1. The .Zip file is in the root directory
2. The extension is .Zip and not .Jar
3. Local upgrade recognizes the .zip file but fails to install
Anybody has tried yet? This is what I get.

You converted but did you unlock the bootloader?
Have you tried flashing in TWRP?
Honestly I wouldn't even flash it unless you are aware of the bugs and anything bad you may experience along the way.
I wish you luck.

Did you SIM unlock and Bootloader unlock as well or just use MSM with both locked?

I converted but didn't unlock the bootloader. I'm only Sim Unlocked Tho. Just wanted to see the progress of the Rom. I was planning on checking it out and Rolling back to Pie.

Yeah you need to unlock bootloader.
The page should have mentioned that as a requirement to flash betas.
Hopefully soon it will become better. But do let me know how it is . I'm pretty sure no one has actually flashed it and reported how the experience was.

You need to unlock the bootloader. I would wait until the next beta when OnePlus actually starts putting Oxygen OS features in. It's very bare right now a lot of the OnePlus stuff it either not working or missing all together.

I saw the video, but the one used on it was an originally International OP7 Pro.
I would love to hear from someone with the T-Mobile variant. Don't think there would be to much of a difference but it's worth trying.

If you flash the beta on the T-Mobile variant the it's the same beta as the unlocked device. You need to be bootloader and SIM unlocked and it will work the same as flashing the International OS or most custom ROMs

^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.

TMobile oneplus 8 modified MSM tool available yet?

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..

I am also waiting for Unlocking of Oneplus 8 tmobile Bootloader without unlock token​

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)

Chance of a patched msm tool allowing bootloader unlock?

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.

You can rename the zip as you want, it won't change anything, the information is in the zip.
You can unlock the bootloader and relock it later.

Precisely, OTA allows to update with a recovery rom, not to downgrade.
You want to brick your phone, do it, then you will have to pay to recover the phone since the bootloader is locked.

No need to post You tube videos showing that everything is possible and easily circumvented.
I know many who regret having used You tube tutorials before asking the questions on XDA.
The safest way is to unlock the bootloader.

Please note that on the video at 7 minutes 36 we see the poco padlock which is open, which means that the bootloader is unlocked.
