Hello.
So basically, I have a T-Mobile OnePlus 9 (LE2117). I went through that whole ordeal of having that global conversion script brick then phone and then bring it back to life using the India 9 Pro MSM. I tried a bunch of stuff, eventually gave up and contacted OnePlus support to get to a working T-Mobile MSM tool.
When the T-Mobile MSM they used did its thing, it went back to the T-Mobile software, however there are two issues with it:
1. The pink T-Mobile splash screen doesn't show up on boot but instead a black one that just says "android" shows up (see attached image)
2. The software updates button is grayed out and cannot be hit
The original T-Mobile MSM you can find online also works now, but it still results in this same issue.
I ended up using the global conversion MSM on OOS 11 and a custom rom for a few months each, both of which worked perfectly, but this is still an issue that is here after using the T-Mobile MSM again.
Is there any good way of fixing this issue? I do have quite a few of the important partitions backed up if those are necessary.
Thanks!

The dual sim/no service bug. I am aware of the root fix, but I was looking to get the T-Mobile software working normally again.

I would say that it is tmo because the T-Mobile msm tools works no problem.

Hello guys. I've tried on two computers with the official one plus charging cable to MSM back to stock, downloaded the files two times, with no luck. I keep getting SMT config issue. I follow the guide correctly.
Are you using the correct MSM tool for your phones model number?

Yes. IN2017, I downloaded the folder twice from the TMO thread in the one plus 8 forum. Also to note, I follow the instructions perfectly. The TMO forum states "click other, then from the menu choose TMO. click start then you get your phone in the correct mode and plug it in"(not word for word but yes). When I do that however even if my phones not plugged in, I get the error stated. As soon as I push start. Sorry if that makes no sense. I tried it on two computers. Basically no matter what I get an SMT error
On my msm tool, the SMT option is grayed out. Im usiing this tool with the IN2017 model, and yes i have the tmobile variant.

The T-Mobile software removes the ability to install update from local storage. You would have to convert to Global to be able to install the betas. I am running a T-Mobile OP8, converted to Global, running beta 3 no issues.

Make sure to read everything on the thread. Pull an image of your persist and your modem before flashing global. Some people lose network and/or FP, though having those two files can typically repair them pretty easily. If something bad happens during the conversion, you can use MSM to go back to T-Mobile firmware, but that doesn't fix your FP reader. That's why grabbing the persist is most important. You can do both from booting TWRP. Back up the modem directly in TWRP, and use adb shell along with "dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img" to make an image of the persist. Once on global, you can simply install the update through the local upgrade process and go from there. From what I have read, you do lose 5G SA. I don't know if this is still valid on the latest beta or not, but it is something to note.

Using a program like LTE Discovery will tell you. In my case, it indicates I am connected to NR NSA 5G. I have not ever seen my phone go to SA 5G since converting, and I do live in an SA location and have connected while on T-Mobile software. See screenshot.
Mine says 5G NR

I have noticed it takes some fiddling with WiFi to get it to display network type. The 5G detection is still a WIP. There are probably other apps that may work better, but I am just used to using LTE Discovery over the years.
I'm also on a tmobile converted to global phone. Using Beta 3 and getting random errors with the sim card where phone says "no sim". Happens 1-2 times per day. Only way to fix is to reboot or eject the sim and reinsert. Either way, back to full bars for a few hours. I backed up modem and persist, but I don't think the Android 10 modem will work on Android 11. Also, can't flash because TWRP doesn't work on Android 11 yet. Very frustrating, looks like lots of reports of this happening on Oneplus 8 phones (Tmobile and unlocked) on here and oneplus forums. No solution found!

I have Sprint sim and this is not happening.
TO CLARIFY THIS IS A ROOT ONLY FIXAfter gaining root install given module.
Data is now retained. Even after reboot(s).
No empty slot or waiting.
Issue is TMO variant is showing muli sim.
So props were added to make it like a conversion to single sim....
Yes module works for both models.
Install & enjoy
Extract and pull it apart if interested .
Please give amazing thanks
to @twinnfamous for building module & bringing this data/sim nightmare to an end
Can confirm this worked and solved my stupid "no sim" error after upgrading from 11.10.10 global to c44.
Worked perfectly on TMobile converted to global. With the issue of having no signal after 12 update.
Thank you @twinnfamous for making the module and thank you @Libra420T for sharing !! You both saved my A$$!
Is this the only way to get data working? I have a NA global variant that doesn't support dual SIM and seems to have the same issue. Honestly really liking ColorOS besides this... I usually don't root but if I don't have a choice, I guess that's what I'll do.
Thanks much. This worked perfectly after I figured out how to root C.62!

You need to make sure that the msm tool manager is for your version that shipped with your phone, as well as the right android version number. Only then will you be able to generate a modem from your service provider.
If that doesn't work, I would try to msm to different versions of your T-Mobile vairent (LE2117). You should have rolled back to like 11.2.2 unless you have the Indian version. Idk what the first version was. my guess is that you used an msm tool that didn't include the Indian T-Mobile vairents.
Dear . I'm use msm to flash global firmware then im rollback to T-Mobile
This file sim card fix only on global firmware? Or for both (glo & India ) .
? Any new T-Mobile msm tools ?

What carrier do you have? I had to go back to OOS because no US carrier works right without VoLTE now. Couldn’t make or receive calls unless my phone was on 3G (T-Mobile). Went back to OOS and then switched to my 12 Pro Max. Waiting for the Pixel 7 Pro announcement to decide if I’m going to that or getting a 14 Pro Max and saying goodbye to Android (again - my OnePlus 9 is the first Android I had since 2017 when I switched). All I know is I’m over this device.
dual sim will work?
sim issues solved from Android 13?
I got into a lot of work, and problems. To be short I got it rooted no problem. Then I did a backup in twrp before flashing recovery and, it total bricked on me. I forgot to transfer my backup to PC. Finally I got it working/rooted and, backup that works but glitchy. The problem is that the only one to work and, fix was India MSM unbrick tool. Now I just need a backup to restore to get back to T-Mobile USA T-Mobile anyway
Hey man! I had an issue where I basically needed the same as you (to go back to TMo stock) and the MSM tool for it wasn't working (Saharan and/or Unsupported Device errors, depending on the Tool's mood).
I did a lot of digging and reading and ended up modifying the TMobile MSM (posted here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-9-11-2-22-2-t-mobile-msm-download-tool.4276119/) and it's files by decoding the .OPS file from both the Oneplus 9 TMobile MSM (linked above) and the OnePlus 9 Pro India MSM, copying some lines of code from the Settings.xml of the OP9P India MSM and swapping the OP9 TMo MSM code with it, basically making it think it's the India 9 Pro MSM and allowing the tool to flash the TMobile stock rom (as only the tool itself was "modified" and not the actual phone firmware file).
It worked perfectly and solved the issues I was having when I failed while moving the phone to Global rom.
I'll be uploading the file to a Google Drive later today when I get home (about 4-5 hours from writing this, office internet is hella slow), so you can use it and see if it solves your issue. I'll update this post in a while if you're interested, cheers!
Edit: Hotspotted my laptop during work, here's the modified MSM!

the only reason why I converted to global is for faster updates, then OnePlus released oxygenos 12 and all my reasoning was gone. How do i go back?
Do the same but with this MSM tool
I recently have problem switching to global version and had to return to tmobile and used this.

Use the T-Mo MSM tool then apply any updates that T-Mo pushes down.
I tried this MSM tool to see if it would help me finally get my updates to A12, but it seems like something's borked and I wind up getting the same 506MB update that claims to be c.16 but winds up being 11.2.8.8. Just a heads up, you may not get back up to date!

Humm something strange because in my case when I bought my op9 tmobile it updated to android 12 also oxygen. then I wanted to switch to the global version and bricked my phone by this reason I went back to install using that msm that I told you to the tmobile version again and got all update from android 11 to latest android 12 and all normal.
You really shouldn't convert back. T-Mobile gets the slowest updates by far and there is no downside to running global or EU firmware on it.

Hello Ethereal I am agree with you but probably the only reason to return to the tmobile version would be to unlock the SIM in case it has not been done or it presents a problem in the global version marking dual sim which is my case currently.
I'm also gonna trade in my phone through T-Mobile, I assume they'll still let me do it with global firmware?

No, there's not, but I have been successful at hiding root from every app that I have tried to hide it from so it's a moot point for me.
It seems strange that the global NA ROM is having that issue though because the global ROM isn't a dual SIM ROM. EU, IN, and CN are dual SIM but global/NA is not. I guess maybe it's because the T-Mobile variant is technically dual SIM with it just disabled?

No, unfortunately. I used a guide on here to bypass the greyed out OEM Unlocking switch in Developer settings and requested my unlock code from OnePlus so I could root on global A12 and use the Dual Sim fix. It's really a complicated mess for a rather nice phone.
