A hypothetical question about Verizon Pixel 3 XL - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

Has anyone considered flashing the non-Verizon OTA files that Google hosts for the Pixel phone onto a Verizon model? No idea if that is possible but could doing that convert it to a Google Store variant? (kinda like converting a t-mobile OnePlus into an international model)
Edit: For reference I mean these OTA files https://developers.google.com/android/ota#crosshatch

Upgrade SM-N975U with ATT to Android 10

Hey guys, so my question is how can I upgrade my Note 10 plus to Android 10, I have the SM-N975U model with ATT, i live outside the US so the person who sold me the phone unlocked it, the thing is that I was checking the original firmware for this model in Sammobile but alm versions are from different carriers (Verizon, Xfinity, etc) I didn't find the one for ATT. Does this make a difference? which firmware should I download?
Just follow this thread. You can use T-Mobile or Verizon firmware. All the same but Just use Home CSC for no data loss. You will not find the AT&T firmware using Frija or Sammobile (or anywhere unless someone extracts it & posts).
Check this thread out.

Hi mate. I don't know if it's gonna help, but I live in UK and I had 975U too which was on Android 9.
System didn't allowed me to update it, probably cause it was on AT&T so I followed a tutorial on yt and updated it to 975U1 Android 10.
EDIT:
N975U and N975U1 Firmware Links Here
For those who aren't already aware, N975U is the model number of all of the US carrier versions of the Note 10+. The N975U1 is the model number of the same device, but sold by Samsung SIM unlocked and with no carrier bloatware. Firmware is 100%...

New to Oneplus

Hello, I am soon to be new to the one plus scene, and had a few questions.
I got the factory unlocked 7t and plan on using it on tmobile. Am I going to have rcs messaging? Will it be limited in any way? Also I have read that you can flash to international from tmobile but can you go the other way? And final question going either way does it require root or anything or because they are stock images they work fine?
From what I can tell from where I purchased it says HD1907 which is the tmobile variant(or should be?) Listing and reviews say confirm getting the HD1907, and its factory unlocked without branding. Can it be branded? And I should be fine and able to go to international/de-brand if I decide to later?
Welcome to the OnePlus 7T, it's a great phone!
I suggest reading through this guide to flash from T-Mobile to Global: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/guide-t-mobile-brand-conversion-to-t4019495
It will walk you through the entire process of flashing your phone and (if needed) rooting it as well.
Personally, I'm a big fan of the All-in-One Tool found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t4103515
It does just about everything you could need in terms of flashing, rooting, returning to stock, etc.
No matter which guide you choose, both forums are very active and should be able to help you if you run into any issues.
In regards to the RCS messaging, you should be fine but don't hold me to that. I typically use Google Voice but I know that Google Messages supports RCS on T-Mobile.

First thanks for the quick response, as a past dev im familiar with xda and have been looking through the 7t section including those and im starting to getting familiar. Thanks for the recommend!
I suppose the question I still don't get is the listing is for a tmobile unbranded so does that mean its on global or not? is it on us, not global, but just not branded but other wise 99% similar to branded just lacks carrier apps? Is there a step in between carrier branded and global? Does tmobile varient + unbranded just means it has the straight from OP firmware? If thats the case does that mean it can accept the tmobile branded firmware? I know everyone is like go global it seems but just for the sake of understanding I want to know since its tmobile varient hardware can it go back from OP updates(if thats what its on) to tmobile? and still be bootloader locked?
seems like there is several steps
carrier branded > carrier unbranded(straight from OP?) > global
However the update on OP's site doesn't list a different global download? How do global users get the update? or am i missing that theres a us site section and a non us site section?
There are a few definite ways to find out:
Model Number: the T-Mobile version is HD1907. I have the International version (HD1905) which has dual sim slots (the T-Mobile version only has 1 sim slot available)
Is there a T-Mobile splash-screen
Are there any T-Mobile (pre-installed) apps
If you have the T-Mobile version, it will never have the original OP software unless you flash the International ROM.
It sounds to me like it's a T-Mobile version (HD1907) that's been unlocked and (probably) flashed to the International (global) ROM (which will get you the official OnePlus software as it comes without the T-Mobile carrier bloat, which is really pretty minimal. I think it was 2 apps when I had the T-Mobile OnePlus 6T).
If you decide to re-lock the bootloader, I'm almost 100% sure that you must be back on the original software that the phone shipped with. So if it's a T-Mobile version, you must flash the T-Mobile ROM before you re-lock the bootloader.
No matter which software you have, it's really pretty easy to go from one to the other, especially with the All-in-One tool.
Personally, I prefer the International ROM (or their Beta Channel) because of faster security updates.

There are essentially 3 ROMs direct from OnePlus that you could flash (aside from the T-Mobile version)
HD65AA Global (which is one I would recommend)
HD65AA India
HD65BA Europe
All of which are found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/oneplus-7t-repo-oxygen-os-builds-t3997037

So as long as it is infact a HD1907 I can use the builds here to go back to this models stock and then bootloader lock? would this be the best way to do so?
Edit: so the about info says HD1907 it didn't say tmobile when i started it the sim tray hold 1 sim. (just arrived) so I should be able to put it back on tmobile branded and lock the bootloader yes? I didn't actually confirm that its bootloader unlocked but im assuming since about info says its tmobile but appears to not be tmobile branded.(unlocked bootloader is only way that could all be true) The packaging was all completely sealed which is why im just a bit confused still as how it can be a tmobile variant but not be tmobile branded but also not modified outside of the factory?
so it looks like its 10.0.10.HD65AA rom, model HD1907, device state locked. so to go back to tmobile stock would I have to unlock? then do something like in this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/op7t-t-mobile-unbrick-tool-to-restore-t4004005 ?

Just wanted to say thanks for the info! I was able to unlock bootloader(not sure if i needed to but did) flash the tmobile branded from https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/op7t-t-mobile-unbrick-tool-to-restore-t4004005 after doing that I looked in bootloader and it says device status locked so im all set.(nice to know that I also have global as an option among others) Thanks again!

Glad to hear it went well. Aside from a more recent security update, I don't know if you'll see any difference between the T-Mobile ROM and the International (global) ROM so enjoy it.
I know some folks wish there was more development for the OP7T but it's really pretty solid. Oxygen OS is smooth and Android 11 should be available for it by the end of the year. That being said, I'd love to see how the Paranoid Android ROM runs on this device! Hopefully that'll come soon.

Tmobile S20+ with VZW Android 12 ROM??

I'm sure it's been asked already but I can't find any threads on it.
Seems like every carrier is getting Android 12 on the S20 line EXCEPT T-mobile.
I have an s20+ that is still under contract and carrier locked.
Is there any way to use the VZW firmware on it? Co-worker has same phone on VZW and has same FW version base (G986USQS2).
His full version is G986USQS2EVA4 which is android 12. My current firmware is G986USQS2DUJ7 which is obviously android 11.
Can I download and flash the files from VZW from samfw.com? Would I need to change CSC?
Or could I just pop in a VZW Sim (even though it's locked to TMO) and it would just download the FW?
Thanks for any help.. It's REALLY frustrating that even Xfinity and comcast are getting it already but not Tmobile............
There is a REASON I bought a flagship from a major carrier.. Updates... But seems like tmobile is in last place to get it figured out.

Question Trying to convert verizon Motorola edge+ to US retail version including rtos firmware

Has anyone successfully tried to convert Verizon edge+ 5g uw (XR2201-R4) to the fully unlocked US Motorola retail version (XR2201-R3)? I found the rom for the US retail version but I'm not sure if flashing that build will brick the phone or if I'll even get access to more cellular bands in the process. I saw forms converting the cn x30 version to global but I'm not sure if it would be possible for the Verizon US variant. I'm trying to also convert the rtos firmware to unlock more cell bands
i have the same phone, and it reminds me of the Lg V30. You had to convert that phone to the US 998 version. But i waited a long time until people smarter than me had figured it out.

Question Is it possible to flash GA03161-CA to US version?

Is it possible to flash a pixel 6 pro canadian to US?
No, because Google only provides a single image applicable to all devices except for those who have locked bootloaders, i.e. Verizon. If you are looking for features that are carrier specific I think they are added during setup.
