Okay. I have att and the note 5 is tmo and unlocked. If I use Odin for any reason, even to revert to 5.1.1 will it no longer be sim unlocked?
Sim unlock has nothing to do with Odin, rooting, or installing custom roms. Once it's sim unlocked it stays sim unlocked.

You are right, nothing to do with software, firmware
or odin.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
But...
There is no reason to use a sim-unlock service since
anyone can unlock their N920T or S6 Edge/Edge+
with the tmobile device unlock app which comes with
the official stock firmware in the phone which can be
also downloaded from Tmobile or the playstore.
The only requirement is that the phone is paid off
and you have owned the phone for at least 30 days.
If those two requirements are met the Tmobile device
unlock app will ask you if you want a temporary or a or
a permanent full sim unlock.
It will not ask for any other information or input.
The Tmobile device unlock app can be downloaded
from the play store.
Here is the playstore download link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.simlock&hl=en
Good luck,
Have a great day!

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
So I have one plus 7 pro with the international firmware installed but I have been having trouble getting the device unlocked the T-Mobile app does not work it keeps saying I am unlocked but when I reboot with a non T-Mobile SIM the phone tells me that it's locked yes I have paid off my phone and have had $100 on my account it's been cleared with T-Mobile
Have you had the phone activated with an active SIM inside of it for 40+ days?

Yes, that's what T-Mobile states you need to fulfill in order unlock your device.
If you're not the original owner, they WILL NOT unlock it.
you need to be on t-mobile firmware
Flash back to the T-Mobile firmware with MSM Download Tool, then unlock with the app. Then flash to the international firmware again with MSM Download tool then you'll be able to fastboot oem unlock without issues.
Info:
I used the MSM tool automatic package to get convert to global firmware. It supposedly bypasses the need for a bootloader unlock code from oneplus.
Anyways if i use the other MSM tool to convert back to stock firmware, it still downloads the global firmware.
Right now my phone is on the latest version of the global firmware updated with the Oxygen Updater app.
My settings do not have the Dim Unlock option but the rest of the network stuff (5G, VoLTE, Wifi Calling, hotspot, etc) work fine. I have a t-mobile sim card activated with a Sprint Plan.
Could sprint do a remote unlock or could i go to a tmobile store and have them unlock it? Or is there some app i can use to get to the setting?
Now that i am eligible i would like to sim unlock so i can ungrey my oem unlock button.
Thanks
Update: ive tried manually installing the APK for T-Mobile's Device Unlock app and it doesnt seem to function.

Nope
I unlocked my tmobile one plus 8t and bootloader unlock to switch to Global for the dual sim. But now i want to switch back to tmobile by using the msm tool to restore.
Will it relock sim on phone or will my phone still be unlocked after msm without doing anything?
SIM lock and unlock status are independent of the OS, so flashing between Global, T-Mobile, Chinese, India etc, will not alter the SIM lock/unlock state.
