I tried the installation, but didn't fix my problem. Nothing seem to change, i didn't even loose any data.
So i decided to retry, but this time i added the userdate file from the downloaded fireware, which made me loose all my data and didn't fix the problem.

You need to purchase unlock code
But my TMobile is not asking for unlock code

Some phones don't ask for it. The unlocking company usually gives you a code to dial in dialer to submit the code.
Just wandering, is it possible for me to move from SM-A716U to SM-A716U1 (Factory Unlocked)?

It is possible but it still won't network unlock your phone.

I was having trouble bootloader unlocking my Telus locked Moto G, but I had seen somewhere that someone had sucess flashing a different firmware and then unlocking it. So I flashed the British Retail firmware and now I have no mobile network and it asks for an unlock code at each boot up. I've tried the Brazilian retail firmware to see if it would fix it but it didn't, pretty sure I need the Telus firmware.

I assume it's asking for a network unlock code? You have any luck with locating the Telus firmware?

Make sure your using a Telus SIM card and not an non Telus SIM card. That could be your problem.

That network unlock screen should ONLY APPEAR only if you are using a sim that the phone is not locked too ( different carrier)

I didn't say I didn't believe you.... When you say network lock when it says that is it a blank screen with a text box in the middle? Unless it really screwed up your modem cause when flashing other firmware it can really screw things up.

Yeah it's a blank screen with a text box in the middle.. I probably did screw up my modem, do you have any idea where I could get the Telus modem or firmware?

I have yet to find the Telus stock firmware. But what I've exsperinaced from other phones when the modem gets screwed up it messes with the efs and if it wasn't backed up there's no way to get it back. But in this case it's weird lol. Somehow your phone is locked to a network which I've never seen happen before.

Darn... Any idea if getting the unlock code would fix it so that I could use mobile network again?
Reflash stock and all will be OK, don't forget to wipe data. It happen to me a couple days ago.

The APN menu isn't very intuitive, you have to type in all the details then tap the three-dot-menu-button-thing on the top right and then tap 'Save'. Once you've done that, in the list of APNs you need to tap inside the little radio toggle along side the APN you just typed in on the list to select it and activate your settings.
Hope that helps.

I tried already haha I press save and then the apn doesn't show up
Would it be possible to extract the modem files from the linked firmware and flash it via fastboot?
Tried that too.. I need to get the Telus modem somehow

Yes, very same problem, solved by flashing the stock telcel firmware (my carrier) also wiping data. It's a must in order to fix that. Otherwise you have no signal, home button don't work and power options are gone.

your the second person i have seen this happen to i would say reflash the 186.43.15 with rsd to see if that fixes it here use @SamuriHL s full script http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr-hd/general/fxz-4-4-2-183-46-15-t2873083
wait before you do that had you radio unlocked before? you may need to unlock your radio again if you on another carrier other than vzw

no you do not need to be unlocked to flash with rsd but before reflashing try sim/radio unlocking your phone again with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389740 to see if that is the problem

glad your up and running
new to the phone, bought yesterday for temp use, same thing happened, i just removed the sim, did a factory reset and now it works.
Glad to see you got this resolved. Hoping I don't have this issue when I update.
Hello there guys.
I have a tmobile one plus 7 pro.
I flashed my phone with this guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/how-to-convert-tmobile-op7-to-t3935947/
Everything works fine, no more tmobile logo when I boot... But the OEM unlock option is still grayed out.
Also, when I hold the volume UP, Down + insert USB cable, the phone connects to the MSM tool for 3 seconds, and disconnects right away. The phone is no longer staying in that mode.
I want to unlock this thing. :'(
Are you sim unlocked? Your sim has to be unlocked for the oem unlock to stop being greyed out.

I am not sure, how do I find out?
The only thing I did was I flashed my phone with the link I provided, and it did take effect because no more tmobile logo.
How do I sim unlock? do I depend on tmobile or is there something I can patch?
Thanks so much man

You have to either call t-mobile and have them unlock it, or there have been people on the forum who have been unlocking. You also will need to flash back to t-mobile fw

Follow the guide in this post to revert back to T Mobile:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...obile-one-plus-7-pro-msm-tool-revert-t3936528
I used this guide to get my T Mobile OP7Pro unlocked:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-unlock-sim-t-mobile-users-heres-how-t3935327
So there is the possibility of rooting without sim unlocking on tmobile if it's still possible. You have to find the q 3 beta use place the file in you sdcard directory update toggle the oem unlock. Find the a copy of the current firmware "update" them follow one of the many tutorial for unlocking your bootloader. I was able to do this but it was 2 months ago the might have since patched this method
www.xda-developers.com/t-mobile-oneplus-7-pro-root-tutorial/amp
I also suggest you do some research before just asking questions. I took me two weeks to find that when I was looking.
Okay, so let me start off the S20 I'm writing about is the T-Mobile Variant and I'm trying to run it on Verizon and I have run into a road block.
The phone is seeing the service from the Verizon chip and my account is seeing the phone but it is not allowing texts or calls and not mention my account flags this phone as *SAM SG20 DOM-SM* too and I don't know what it means.
The steps I have tried to no avail is factory reset, manually adding APN settings, manually adding the imei to my account so if anyone has any ideas I'm game to try them.
Did you sim unlock it?

Yup
Try flashing the unlocked version of the firmware or smth like that with odin
I was thinking the same thing but I don't have access to a computer to flash though

Okay, I don't know if this would help anyone figuring out the issue but I downloaded a app and I notice I'm missing CSC codes on it
Your phone is unlocked soo.
Unfortunately, IN the USA there isnt a unlocked version of the firmware for your phone.
You'll probably be stuck with the apps unless you can uninstall them with ADB.
Bought it on eBay. Does anyone know of a way to work around the problem? I want to use the phone in Mexico. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
Return to seller...
or pay off AT&T.
Root - make rw - debloat - backup - "factory reset" -tinyfb reset efs modem etc - restore super - setup as new with new sim card? I might try this...
AT&T is notorious about collections. It's a matter of principle with them.
They will likely blacklist the imei...
Easiest thing to do is return the phone to the seller and get a full refund. Their bad.

As you can see here someone suggesting rooting this phone so it must be possible with AT&t otherwise they wouldn't suggest this right?

That's not what this thread is about... way off topic. AT&T doesn't control the bootloader.
Are you suggesting that rooting this phone and doing the steps outlined above are not a possible solution to the OP's question?
