Question Flash Custom ROM on TMo - NA Converted 9 Pro - OnePlus 9 Pro

Hi,
I recently converted my T-Mobile OnePlus 9 Pro to EU using the MSM tool provided in this guide:
Convert your T-Mobile (LE2127) to EU via MSM, No unlock.bin needed!
*** Use this at your very own risk. *** You will lose all data *** Backup your working modemst1/2 and persist. If you lose these for any reason, it's unique to your device and not recoverable if you didn't back up (via MSM or other people). ***...
forum.xda-developers.com
I followed this guide , OTA'd to OOS 12 then local upgraded to NA C.62. I had to flash data retention fix via Magisk for data to work, and it seems to work flawlessly so far.
My question is how do I go about flashing a custom ROM such as Nameless? Would I have to flash normally then flash data retention fix again? Or will it work without it? And if I do want to return to OOS, would I have to follow the guide linked above again?

I tried the same way that you are taking now. I even tried the global roms instead of EU. I ended up with no sim or it worked but it would take 4 reboots for it to register in custom roms. I can't speak for all the roms but the ones I've tried I lost signal with the conversion. So i recommend you using the TMobile firmware. Upgrade to 11_C.18 and then flash the custom ROM. Oh your bootloader can be unlocked right? If so I'll show you the way to do it. So that you don't have to download all the updates every time you msm then update. I figured out a way to use the local update and the ota zips.

I don't have unlock.bin yet I'm still waiting for it is there a different way? Or will I simply have to wait for it. I've heard some have had luck with OnePlus' twitter support

You can unlock the bootloader after the conversion msm. You need the sim to be unlocked but there is a fix to enable oem unlock.

So if you want to unlock your bootloader,root your phone and try some custom roms. Let's do it.

Bootloader unlock problems?

Hello,
I bought a 64gb version throw gearbest and they installed a vendors version 7.3.14.0.0 not oficial rom. With defeats the purpose of the bootloader being locked.
I want to install the original miui 8 china or miui 8 from xiaomi.eu.
If I unlock my bootloader by submitting the request to xiaomi what I lose? What are the disavantages?
Does the fingerprint reader works on a bootloader unlocked phone with official miui 8 china?
Does it work with xiaomi.eu rom?
What are the features that cease to work with an unlocked bootloader with these two roms?
If I install xiaomi.eu rom without unlock the bootloader using Doom Slayer method I must not update by OTA or I will brick it, right?
And oficial miui 8 can I update by OTA?
Sorry for these questions but is my first xiaomi with locked bootloader and don't want to screw up by not knowing the consequences of each method?
Thanks in advance

The fingerprint will work. But Find phone will not work and it will not be secure. But your phone will be less secure like if gets stolen anybody can flash firmware and you will be loser. With find my phone nobody could even flash firmware . I have got permission within 2 days for unlocking but i have not done but i have flashed chinese firmware by using miflash. the link is here http://en.miui.com/thread-326039-1-1.html. it is very safe that way.

Security is not about flashing, is about protecting your data. Encryption makes phone more secure, not locked bootloader. We have ways to flash whatever we want with locked bootloader... how about that? Do you still fil secure?
Thank you both,
@seking for what I could understand this is the xiaomi.eu rom with even more stuff, right?
Do you have the helium version?
For that rom you just need the miflash to flash the rom via fastboot, right?
This is different from the Doom Slayer method because with it we fastboot the TWRP recovery and then use it to flash the xiaomi rom.
@nijel8, that is my question also the locked bootloader doesn't add security, gearbest flashed a custom rom even with it locked, so the security reason isn't a valid one.
Partition encrypting is only available when the bootloader is locked? If so that is one feature that is gone with unlocking.
If one unlock the bootloader can later lock it again?
With the bootloader locked we can't use miflash tool to flash fastboot rom, right? Only using EDL, and even then from what I could understand the system and data partition need to be formatted and that removes the encryption...
I just want to get rid of a rom that I don't know what is it and install a oficial rom or a rom from good sources like xiaomi.eu
After replace my rom can I update it by OTA or after I must update only by fastboot ot TWRP?
Thanks again
Bootloader status has nothing to do with encryption. Encryption always is a user option in any ROM... Not sure about MIUI though b/c they enforce encryption on both system and userdata partitions in ramdisk fstab so no user choice as far as I know. And yes... You can always lock bootloader back but will loose your data in process.
Not going to answer the second set of questions (see my signature ) not b/c I don't know but b/c never done it myself so yeah...
mi max is comparatively new phone. there are notnmany roms. development still new. therefore be careful of what you flash. for hardbrick solving we have to open the back cover which is risky. i have taken the safe mthod of not unlocking it. i flashed the rom on the locked rom with miflash via EDL. one can always flash the official rom through twrp and you will be safe.
Thanks a lot you two.
Trying to get the most information before doing something wrong.
Don't worry... Mi Max poves to be die hard phone...

How to relock bootloader for T-Mobile OnePlus 7T?

Hi,
I recently unlocked the bootloader for my T-Mobile OnePlus 7T and it is working fine but now I want to revert back to relocking the phone so I can get the new update 10.0.7 from T-Mobile installed on the phone. I haven't rooted my phone.
Everytime I try to install it keeps giving me the installation failed message. I tried to relock the bootloader with the commands I found online but then the phone gets stuck on the Magenta T-Mobile sign and don't boot up.
Can someone please help me resolve this issue?
Thanks

If I download the msm tool, where do I find the software update file for the current version of TMobile 7T which is 10.0.6.HD63CB?
Thanks
Restore it to TMobile factory and then you can update through the phone. No need to do anything manual.
Or, you can Sim Unlock and switch to International Firmware. This puts you on 10.0.8 although its only January Security patch.

As said below, you have to go back to 100pct stock with the msm tool.
Something about a bug in our hd1907 model that deletes an important file upon bootloader unlock that won't allow updates to complete anymore and there's no fix. In fact, Tmo is doing warranty exchanges cause it's a known issue, but we have the msm tool now ?

Question [SOLVED] Downgrade error changing region from 12.0.4.0 EEA to 12.0.8.0 Global, how can I solve?

Hi
I'm trying to install directly, from the phone update menu, from 12.0.4.0 EEA to 12.0.8.0 Global, but when I select the zip file downloaded I get an that says that it's impossible to downgrade.
My phone is actually locked.
Is it possible in other ways?
AFAIK, if I want to use Xiaomi Flash Tools, I have to unlock bootloader, it it correct?
Thanks

If I understand correctly you can't change firmware region unless bootloader unlocked.
And shouldn't lock bootloader once change region.
I did't know that! This is for a friend of mine phone, with mine I normally leave bootloader unlocked and then I root with Magisk.
In this case, I want just to unlock bootloader, put global version of stock MIUI 12 and then relock bootloader.
I've just done some search and it seems that it can't be done only on chinese stock rom.
But I'm not sure 100%, so just looking to be completely sure before proceeding.
For now, I'm just waiting the 168hrs before taking step 2 of unlocking bootloader.
Thanks
I succeded using XiaomiTool V2, an unofficial app, I've used on Windows 10, but it seems to be available also on Mac.
So, without unlocking the bootloader, now I am on 12.0.8.0 Global.
I received an error at end of the ROM installation (was VERY worried), but then all was ok...
I didn't know this tool, even if I have Xiaomi phones from several years, and it's written by an Italian guy...

Question 2023 T-Mobile vs Unlocked OP 9 Pro

Question:
I own a T-Mobile account. Just went through major drama w/ amazon seller, a T-Mobile phone that wouldn't unlock because it wasn't paid off, and more. Never mind that.... sending it back.
I want to know if I can buy a non-US and/or unlocked OP 9 Pro and still have it work with my T-Mobile sim?
I want in the end, ideally, to have a OP 9 Pro running the very latest Oxygen OS/updates and have it be rooted. But again, w/ a T-Mobile sim.
Advice? Has anyone else faced this?

Don't send back.... Using the T-Mobile app and chat you can be over complementary and ask for full unlock and should be able to get it that way. Option 2 is to use a modded MSM tool to convert to Global, unlock bootloader, us a modded Glo to TMO MSM TOOL to get back to TMO firmware and update. But recommend to stay away from A13 for now

Was your recommendation to avoid updating based on the trouble that DaveImagery was having with achieving root? If so, I can assure you rooting the T-Mobile android 13 update is no different than rooting the global or eu firmware, aside from having to always temp boot TWRP rather than actually install it. TWRP acts up sometimes but it works. I think he was either having a problem with the driver's, USB port, or cable, or something went wrong when he pulled the boot image via MSM tool.

If you got the factory unlocked one then sure, it'll work with a t-mobile sim. The question is whether it will be 100% compatible with t-mobile's network or not. I don't know the answer to that question. It's worth noting however that the T-Mobile variant is slower to get updates, and just got Android 13 this month. If I'm not mistaken, the global and EU variants got Android 13 last year. This fall/winter the other variants will probably be getting android 14, while the t-mobile variant waits until next spring.
T-Mobile updates are slower because they are more refined and sometimes include multiple updates in one update. That is why they are slower..

I decided to stay with what I got, esp. as the seller also (belatedly) included the original 65w fast charger. I did a bit of whining. So now I'm trying to get my employer to leverage t-mobile into unlocking the phone, since we've been w/ them a long time and it technically is my employers' phone. (They appreciate my geek interests and are willing.)
If I can get it unlocked, the next questions will be about just how flexible T-Mobile's sim will be with various rooted Oxygen OS's.
I used to root all the time.... my Samsung Note 4 (dang I loved that phone), my OnePlus 2 (rebuilt from 2 broken ones... by me!), and so on. But Samsung's Note 9 wasn't rootable (I didn't have the Exynos version). So I got stuck. This time I bought the OnePlus 9 Pro intentionally in order to play w/ rooting again.
But the whole thing has gotten more interesting. TWRP... does it still work and do the awesome backups / restores of multiple different systems on the same phone? And Magisk.... sheesh... so much I don't know.

How exactly would that work? I've read that using the T-Mobile->EU MSM allows you to unlock the bootloader without an unlock token, but wouldn't using another MSM to go back to T-Mobile firmware re-lock the bootloader? Would the fact that it's already been unlocked previously allow it to be unlocked again without a token, even after flashing back to the T-Mobile firmware? Mine came sim unlocked and didn't have any trouble getting an unlock token so I never tried the workaround and I've just flashed the unlock token every time.

I have a modded TMO to Glo and a modded Glo to TMO.....I have used it before....
So it is in fact possible to skip waiting for a token. You have to use MSM to convert to EU then you're free to do whatever since the bootloader is now unlocked? Am I understanding? I'd like to personally flash Lineage as soon as I'm unlocked, will the above process work for me?

I believe you. What I'm saying is that according to what I have read, every time you use a MSM tool it locks the bootloader. So you convert to eu, and unlock the bootloader without an unlock token, because this specific firmware is unique in its ability to be unlocked without a token. Then you flash the T-Mobile firmware with another MSM which locks the bootloader all over again, and now you are once again on T-Mobile firmware with a locked bootloader and no unlock token. My questions are:
1) Does the fact that you previously unlocked the bootloader permanently do away with the need for an unlock token, even after you MSM back to T-Mobile firmware and re-lock the bootloader?
2) If so then how do you unlock the bootloader the second time after you MSM back to T-Mobile firmware? Do you repeat the same procedure you did on the EU firmware, or do you just run the "fastboot oem unlock" command from now on?

The way it is done with the modded MSM Tool to go from Global back to TMO it does not lock the bootloader. Can't explain why, but it doesn't. A pure TMO MSM Tool will relock the bootloader. Been there and done both ways.
In a few days I will do it again just to triple check the procedures and create the necessary modded MSM Tool zip files to share.
Another way to get unlock token is by booting to bootloader and run the command to get unlock code. Copy the long list of numbers along with IMEI and serial number and email OnePlus support with the information stating the TMO unlock token website is not working for you and they will generate a token for you. I had to do that when my first token quit working....

Question Help with TMO OP9 Pro (LE2127) A12. What are my options?

I thought I was buying an unlocked global version but goy the t-mobile version. Are there any options for unlocking the boot loader without an unlock.bin?
Additionally, once the bootloader is unlocked (if I wait for the .bin from OnePlus) what additional considerations are there for flashing firmware and rooting the device? I have been trying to sort through the forum with minimal luck.
It lools like MSM will not work without unlock.bin on A12 and later, is that correct?
If i unlock with unlock.bin can I use the OTA firmware from OnePlus site to flash and root, or do I need TMO specific firmware and where would that be located.
Any links to applicable guides would be greatly appreciated.

You are going to be ok. I have the OP9P with stock A13 with unlocked BL, rooted with magisk . Unfortunately I am leaving on vacation and will be limited when I can guide you along but be patient.
I just delt with this last week, and was able to convert to global and OEM unlock without having to use an unlock code from OnePlus or from tmo.
What you need to do is convert your model from LE2127 TO LE2125.
1. Download MSM for tmo OP9Pro, this will be handy if you mess anything up
2. I don't have a link but if you search TMO to EU MSM OnePlus 9 pro you should be able to find the right tool. You just run the MSM like you always would.
3. Now you can OEM unlock your phone by running the command `adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.qualcomm.qti.uim`
4. Your phone is now no longer TMO but will not work with a US sim card, so you need to convert it to global. You can just download the OTA from OnePlus official website and go to software update in settings and press 3 dots and press local update or something like that.
4. After installing global software, upgrade to newest software version via OTA updates
5. Once complete, reset phone through settings.
6. ???
7. Profit
If you need any help with any particular step let me know
I have the TMO to GLO MSM Tool and will give link tomorrow! I will be on the road for about 10 hours tomorrow, that is why it will take a bit to get the link posted to download the MSM Tool.
Give me a little bit and you will have the link. Don't want to keep you waiting.... Fastboot OEM unlock once converted. Enable developer options, USB debugging and OEM unlock....
Also if you want to get back to stock after unlocking bootloader, let me know....I have the answer for that too!
If you stay with Global, you might need to flash TMO modem if your carrier is TMO.
Here you go... TMO 2 GLO MSM Tool....

So while I was waiting I got impatient and started playing around with different MSM packages. The problem I now have is that after flashing to either TMO or Global I can no longer toggle OEM unlocking.
The phone was network/sim unlocked before I started and now, even if I get onto an A11 non-TMO ROM I cannot enable the setting.
Edit: After reapplying TMO ROM and going online it has re-enabled. Will try the suggested path now.
Use the link I uploaded to go from TMO 2 GLO, if first try does not work, uncheck the "SHA" and check the "USE LITEFIREHOSE" boxes.
Be sure to read all that I have posted. Patience is the virtue to success...
I will get you where you want to be, but you must be patient!

I do apologize, this is my first foray into all of this. I do not know how to do any of that. LOL.
I have that file now, but have no experience with TWRP. Any guide or info you can point me to? Do I need to upgrade to A12?
