I recently purchased an OnePlus 7t the HD1907 it's a T-Mobile version that is sim unlocked I use it with Verizon when I first got it and factory reset it now it shows a Sprint start up screen before factory reset it showed TMobile I also have Sprint carrier apps has anyone seen this or know why it's happening
Could it be your phone was originally a Sprint phone? Someone bought a Sprint 7T (with Sprint start up, apps, etc) before the merger. It was taken into a T-mobile shop for some reason after the merger where they made it a "T-mobile" phone and your factory reset restored the original Sprint software?
Or T-mobile "rebranded" unsold Sprint phones by overwriting them with their system and the factory reset undid that conversion.

I wasn't aware of that, thanks
Phone seems to be build for both Carriers. In Product folder, there is apps for both TMobile and Sprint.

Yes I just figured out that Sprint phones and TMobile phones are now interchangeable so u don't need to get an unlock to use on either network since there the same company now I thought they would treat it like they did metro where u would still have to get an unlock but nope
Now it depends on what kind of sim you're using if you use a T-Mobile SIM it will have tmobile splash screen and apps if you use Sprint or Verizon it has Sprint splash screen and Sprint apps

Okay so long story short, I have a Sprint Galaxy S8+ I preordered and outright bought (for $850) directly from Samsung in April. This last month I decided to switch with my family to Verizon. Turns out the IMEI of the phone is not recognized by the Verizon network and my phone technically works but always shows I am on roaming. Is there anyway to fix this? The phone IS unlocked I got it unlocked by Sprint, and no Samsung is not budging on helping me at all. They basically just say "Go back to Sprint the phone works fine". I was just curious if I rooted the phone and flashed a Verizon ROM onto the device will it get rid of the roaming and possibly make it able to be seen by the Verizon network? I know flashing the ROM doesnt change the IMEI but honestly Im stuck with what to do because neither, Sprint, Verizon, or Samsung is trying to help me.
You could try the unlocked firmware. I don't know if it would work but doesn't hurt to try

The Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile version of s8/s8+ won't work for Verizon. Verizon's dont work for Sprint either - even you flash it with unlocked firmware. Unless you change the IMEI, but it's illegal. Both Sprint and Verizon required the IMEI in their database. That's the reason I bought unlocked version from Samsung directly. My phone shows OPEN MARKET on sprint. I just ported to Sprint from Verizon to take advantage of the 1 year free service. But I can't use the internet when I'm talking on the phone.
Don't be fooled by that word UNLOCKED, it's still a carrier branded phone.

Any luck using unlock sprint s8 plus on Verizon? I'm on the same boat but can't get it to work on Verizon.
If anyone got it to work, please advise. Thanks

It won't work tell you change the imei its blacklisted and the only way around that is to change the imei sorry to break it to you.
I bought a Verizon Note 8 and when I put my T-Mobile SIM in it it booted up with T-Mobile boot screen and had T-Mobile bloatware on it, I bought it from Craigslist, is this normal or did previous owner flash T-Mobile firmware on it?
Thanks
From what I was told if your sim is unlocked whatever sim card you put in there the bootloader will come as its carrier and have the bloatware.
I think this happens with Oreo. I bought mine from Verizon. It originally came with Verizon bloated and logo. When I put in at t soon, it changed to att logo and bloated. When I inserted Verizon Sim again, it changed back.
it means the phone is unlocked. that is all. i have a verizon one as well on tmobile. got all the verizon bloatware
so if i were to root my phone, what kinda roms can i throw on it? there are none in the verizon section it seems like...
do i go to the tmobile note 8 and flash those roms?

This will give you anything you want. Stock, tmobile, debloated, ect.
Ok long story short I got the phone off fb marketplace supposed to be unlocked but of course mt att prepay sim says invalid... and does not prompt for unlock code
looking into the phone it doesn't have a sprint rom as the rom ends in JETER_NA_CUST and not sprint... plus there is no sprint bloatware or anything.
but going to UICC Unlock it does say it is locked to sprint....
and it does say sofware variant sprint and software channel sprint
anything I can do to get my att sim to work
Nope. You bought a Sprint/Boost Mobile device which uses CDMA like Verizon. AT&T, as well as T-Mobile, use GSM.

I have mine on boost and the basband still says jeter_na_cust just like yours. It's a sprint/boost rom. You definitely bought the boost/sprint variant. It won't have sprint bloatware but it should have boost Mobile bloatware. If not the person you bought it from tried to flash the retail version from Best buy onto a sprint/boost variant. I hate to say it man but the person you bought that from definitely just scammed you. Because if they did take the time to try to flash the retail firmware then they knew it wouldn't work on att to begin with. Best you can do is either flash the proper firmware on it and activate it on sprint prepay or boost ( which tbh there both better than att despite what sprint has said about there own network lately) or you got a WiFi device. actually. Do you know the device model like mine for example is the xt1922-7 which is for sprint/boost.
It is the xt1922-7. There is no bloatware from boost either

Well either way the best you can do is get it activated on Sprint and or boost Mobile. It won't work on att.
My G6 Play is disconnecting Bluetooth all the time.
I switched to US Mobile to get Verizon because my friend also has a 7T on UsMo vzw; however, he has the global version and I have the TMo version. At that point I had figured the hardware was the same, but I can't even get past US Mobile's iemi check to activate my phone on Verizon. I've checked some other mvnos and the same thing keeps happening.... IMEI is not supported.
1. What mvno has anybody actually had their Timo(HD1907) version activated on Verizon?
If so, did it require any trickery?
2. My buddy has a Glaxy S10 on Verizon proper. Could I use his IMEI to activate the Sim and then just put the Sim in my 7t?

Assuming the 1907 has the necessary bands for VZW then yes this should work. I often just ask for the IMEI of verizon craigslist sellers then input that into the VZW website portal to get activated. I actually have a small collection of them, as acquiring one in store from a display unit doesnt usually work anymore since those are blacklisted for store use only.

Good idea! I wound up using wife's IMEI and it worked.
Please move it to correct forum if this is not the right one.
I bought Samsung Galaxy Note Plus 10 5G in Oct 2019 from Verizon (all paid). I ported my number from Verizon to AT&T 5 days ago (after 9 months of using it with Verizon). My account is disconnected from Verizon and I have received the port is completed e-mail from them. AT&T has confirmed that the sim is fully activated.
But Guess what, When I put the sim in mobile it says another carrier is not allowed to be used on this phone ! For last 4 days I have wasted more than 10 hours staying in Verizon store and on call with customer care and they have no idea what is going on ! Customer care says the phone is fully unlocked. After 3 days of constant trying one of the representative said you have to reactivate the old account again and then try unlock again from the backend (which I have no control of !) . And, guess what, none of those good people are reactivating the account.
Verizon store guy doesn't help, just says talk to customer care and customer care says its unlocked so they can't do anything.
What should I do ?
About the only things I can suggest are:
If you have flashed firmware that is not the Verizon carrier firmware then flash it back to Verizon carrier firmware.
If you have disabled any carrier applications on the phone please re-enable them.
Make sure they are attempting to unlock the phone while you are within native Verizon coverage
I am not sure if a non-carrier branded firmware exists for the Note 10+ 5G, but non-carrier firmware has caused network unlocking issues before. The second idea is just in case you may have used a package disabler and disabled something necessary for network unlocking the phone. Last one is from past experiences where I wasn't able to complete phone activation because I wasn't within Verizon's native coverage area. The coverage I was in, while not roaming (or extended area) was not actually native Verizon coverage... I would tend to believe this would possibly be the same for network unlocking the phone.
Otherwise get a hold of Verizon and hound them to get it unlocked. Not much else can be done really... If the phone qualifies for being unlocked they should unlock it.
Filed fcc complaint
I have filed FCC complaint. I never changed anything in the mobile (didn't even know firmware flash was a thing until now when I started looking for solutions), used it for general purpose. I am in the same area where I bought it. Verizon store guy tried everything from simple reset to factory reset wiping everything out but nothing worked.
I have also ordered a prepaid Verizon sim. I will put that in and will try to get the phone unlocked.
I will post my results after 2-3 days.
Thanks for the quick reply !

Got it resolved.
Final Update:
Since I had filed FCC complaint online, Verizon Executive Relations department contacted me and She was able to unlock from her side with the help of 'Technical Management' employee on call.
