Unable to download unlock_code.bin - OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers

Hello all:
I am slowly working towards converting my brand new/used TMobile Oneplus 7t from BH Photos to Global. Here is what I have done so far:
Used fastboot to retrieve the unlock code, submitted the form on https://www.oneplus.com/unlock_token.
Waited 2 weeks and sure enough i got an email from Oneplus with two links to download the unlock_code.bin.
View attachment 5313803
This is where my problem starts, I cannot actually download the file from either one of the above links, what I get is some kind of "gibberish" characters displayed in the browser, instead of a file download dialog.
View attachment 5313805
I have tried several browsers, on my phone, a linux desktop with Brave Browser and Firefox, and on a Win 10 laptop with Chrome and Edge.
I feel there is something wrong with the link Oneplus provided me. I have tried an email support ticket, and the nice representative only just send me the instructions which I am already following, and the second exchange said just wait patiently for the email, even though I stated clearly I have already received the email. I even sent a video of the issue to them.
On the chat, the nice lady told me to be patient and wait a few more days.
I know I can try to unlock the bootloader using the MSM tool, but doing it legitimately this way seems more straight forward, and I want to try it on a Linux desktop, using only fastboot and fastbootd, which I know both work because I was able to do fastboot devices and also retrieve the fastboot unlock token. I would prefer not to get involved with all that windows drivers stuff for fastboot and edl if possible.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

I tried the CHAT a second time, and this time the rep seemed to actualy know what I was talking about. They said this is a known issue and the "concerned group" is working to resolve the issue of downloading the bootloader unlock file, and to wait 24-28 hours, they are supposed to notify me when the issue is resolved.

I converted my HD1907 TMobile to Global with unlocked BL using msm tool in guides section without needing OnePlus unlock.bin

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing, I was a little hesitant to mess with Win10 and all those drivers. Ii knew adb and fastboot and fastbootd were working on my main Linux desktop, but in the end it wasn't really all that bad. Thanks!

Just a little help please unlocking bootloader/Root TMOBILE Oneplus7T(Sim unlocked) without Oneplus code

Does anyone know a way to unlock the bootloader of Oneplus 7t without asking for an unlock code from T-mobile? I was able to get it network unlocked however never rooted it. Even on my oneplus 5t which I'm trying to root(got bootloader unlocked) I can't root because it says "waiting for device" when trying to flash the twrp.img file and that phone is a global variant. It seems like I'm having issues with both for "waiting for any device" through adb.

I got it rooted and will try to flash to global android 11. I didn't have to do a unlock code token OR follow the tmobile to global flash root. I don't know why but when I clicked unlock bootloader on "TOOL ALL IN ONE" it unlocked the bootloader lol.(Sticky to save time?) I got root by using this method. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...7t-sim-unlocked-without-oneplus-code.4288179/
Do I have to unlock bootloader/root everytime I flash a ROM?
How do you usually do a backup easily so I don't lose stuff next time

I bricked my 7t. It only loads into fastboot mode and MSM downloads are giving me error"disk file missing" or something...each version/site that I try on google. So now I'm using 5t(has root...not caring about updating it...backup phone anyway) while trying to get 7t working again....I would like it to flash to global latest oxygen...but now I have to unbrick somehow. I know for sure the phone isn't booting into an operating system.

Was msm working before? If never worked prior then you need Qualcomm 9008 drivers
Your phone must be completely off to enter msm or edl mode: holding vol+ and vol- together while plugging in usbC--msm program must be running with admin privileges before plugging in your usbC. Once sound is made in win10, then click start

OnePlus 7T Bricked

Hi, I have a oneplus 7T that belongs to T-MOBILE, I decided to make it global, after doing the process I made the mistake of blocking the bootloader after that the terminal does not pass the error "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot ", I can only enter the fastboot mode, I have tried to enter the EDL mode to do the process again through the MSM through the adb commands and through a deep flash cable and np I have been lucky.
I have also tried to unlock the bootloader but it does not allow me, because it gives me an error related to that I have to enable unlocking through the android developer.
The pc only recognizes the terminal as "Android Bootloader Interface".
So if you can acces the fastboot mode have you tried flashing a oos10/11 fastboot rom ?

Yes, I tried, but it gives me an error in the transfer of the files.
Never relock bootloader as easy to hard brick. Try to set up msmtool on another pc and good usb-C cable. Also u should move this post to Q-A
Hi
I had is same problem, and is very easy to solve.
You only have use the method for which to use for covert the device in global versión, but only
you must do the steps until the equipment is unlocked, and then instead of continuing with the procedure, what you must do is flash a stock firmware that corresponds to the region of your mobile.
It's all a matter of taking the procedure to the point where it allows it to be flashed through fastboot

mmm, I will try this method, although as I understand I have to use the T-Mobile ROM in this case, I have a good time looking for it and I did not find it, I will continue at it.

It is not necessary to use the TMobile rom, you just have to get to the point where the phone is unlocked with the command "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" and then jump to steps 7 and 8 of the guide referenced in the link I shared.

Thank you very much, the problem was solved, I changed the phone cable and tried it with windows 7 and finally I was able to unlock the bootloader.

Operating system does not start OP 7T.

Hello, I have the following problem when you installed an OS and the cell phone is restarted for the first time and the circles appear (red and white) only last 4 seconds and then the cell goes off and it does not start the OS.
This same error happened to me by installing Pixel Experience 12, DerpFest and installing the Rom Stock (using MSM). I hope and can help me.
PD I can access the bootloader but I can not unlock it because of Android 11 to 10.
Model: OnePlus 7T (HD1900).

Hi, I tried that method but when you are sending the files an error appears (Device Not Match Image).
Regards.
What did you exactly did that system won't start?
Did you flashed wrong boot.img or something else?
Did you tried easiest method which is Hold Power+Vol Down for few second untill you feel 3x vibration and then release. Check this out.

Hello,
1.- I had pixel experience 12 installed and I used it without problems for 3 days until I installed YouTube vanced and it asked me to restart, when I was loading the "Google" logo the cell phone turned off (the same problem I have now). I reinstalled pixel experience but still got the same error.
Then I installed DerpFest and finally stock ROM via MSM and the same problem persists.
2.- I never installed any boot.img
3.- Doing power+vol down only loads the recovery stock Ver.2.0

My Phone just bricked suddenly, I haven't unlocked my bootloader or have enabled usb debugging

I tried all the methods I could find on the internet and this forum,
I tied the EDL MSM download tool method where I do see the completed green status and I see the phone restart and onePlus logo but its just shutdowns, I tried so all the versions of android and all the variants Indian (which is mine) and then Global and EU
becs my phone is locked I don't know what else to do , Please Help
When the phone got bricked first I tried to restart it several times and it did start but after 30 40min it happened again but after doing the EDL method most I could get to is seeing the one plus loading screen (rarely) whenIi restart several serveral times hoping to enable usb debugging and enable oem unlocking

Question Why can't I unlock my bootloader on a LE2123 software?

Greetings everyone, I've been using my device for about four months now on a stock firmware and lately got bored of the Oxygen OS so I've decided to give custom roms a try, I opened the developer settings, went for the oem unlock, enabled it, got debugging enabled also, went to fastboot mode and tried both fastboot oem unlock and fastboot flashing unlock with no luck. It asks me for an unlock token. I know for a fact I'm not on a TMO software, I'm running LE2123 with a locked bootloader and I've never touched firmware or never converted my phone from a certain software version. I've filled a form on the oneplus' token unlock website and now waiting for an unlock.bin.
My question is how even the seller I got the phone from converted TMO to LE2123 without an unlocked bootloader? How am I unable to unlock my bootloader on a EU firmware and will there ever be a possible brick if I used the unlock bin on a LE2123 rather than a TMO 2127? Is there a way to convert an EU firmware to Global so that I'll have a chance unlock my bootloader?

This same exact thing just happened to another guy. He found out his rear sticker was indeed showing LE2127. To my (our) knowledge, only the le2127 needs an unlock token and was the only carrier branded 9P at all. While you didn't change anything, it's likely the seller did before you purchased it. Check your back sticker.
You can convert Le2127 to Le2123 without unlocked bootloader using the Tmo->Eu conversion tool. You may need to run that same MSM tool (or a custom one for different targets) and bypass the token unlock.bin or wait for OnePlus reply with your unlock.bin. To further confuse this, I've read that the automated tool on OnePlus website is providing the wrong unlock.bin and people are using support email or support chat to get the right one.
It is possible to unlock the bootloader without the token, while on oos11, using the tmo->eu msm conversion tool
There's always potentials for bricks when flashing anything. Make appropriate backups of partitions with the msm tool.
And yes, it's possible to go from Eu to Global. But I think you should try to run the Tmo->Eu msm tool if you're looking to bypass the token. You may want to go back to stock Tmo using the regular Tmo msm tool first. If both the stock Tmo MSM tool and Tmo->Eu msm conversion tools don't work, you may need a custom MSM tool for target change but hopefully that's not required for this situation

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. I really did search the forum about the problem I'm running and couldn't find a solution, well should've looked deeper I guess. Will look into the article you mentioned.
