Question T-Mobile 9 pro flashing

Hello all,
So my op6t died a very violent death the other day. I needed a replacement phone immediately so I went to T-Mobile and bought the 9pro outright. Per T-Mobiles guidelines, I have to wait 40 days before they'll SIM unlock the device. Once they do that for me "oem unlock" option should no longer be grayed out and I can unlock bootloader.
My question is, once my BL is unlocked, am I able to flash the global/international version of OOS? Or am I stuck with T-Mobile roms forever?
Thanks,
Pain

You can unlock the Bootloader when you request a token to unlock.
If you paid full price, why not get it directly from OnePlus with no restrictions?

Hey bud, you don't have to wait 40 days, try this, it's reliable, this person already unlocked like 4 different T-Mobile devices for me and there is also a tread on how to convert T-Mobile to EU. Good luck.
[CLOSED][T-Mobile USA] Free SIM Unlocking Service - [OnePlus/Samsung/Google/LG/Moto]

That's usually what I do, but I literally destroyed my phone on short notice (caught in the door jam as I closed my car door). I needed a replacement ASAP for work so I just went to T-Mobile.
And I'll definitely check out that thread and send him a PM. Once it's unlocked am I good to flash global OOS releases?

Global is a problem since updates are coming from Google and we can't get a full image.
Better to flash EU in this regard.

Where do we download them from? OP website or oxygen updater app?

I just did this yesterday!
This thread has the instruction you need: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...7-to-eu-via-msm-no-unlock-bin-needed.4272837/
So yes, it's possible, but you'd have to keep the bootloader unlocked and flash the T-Mobile modem after every update. Not a big deal.
I actually tried flashing both the EU (firmware ending in BA) and Global full ROM (firmware ending in AA).from OnePlus and didn't notice any difference. But my understanding is that this month is special in that we can download the full update image from OnePlus for the Global/NA variant.
With Magisk Hide, I was able to get Google Pay working and Widevine L1 for Netflix HD.

Can someone help a cautious betty? How do I backup my oneplus 9 pro partitions without root etc? Thanks

Use MSM tool and back them up. Press f8, ctrl-a to select all partitions, use password oneplus.

Great thanks very much.

Can you restore those backups with MSM as well?

You can with unlocked BL, just boot to fastboot and flash the partitions. You could use SMT download mode, but I wouldn't advise since it could wipe your IMEI and EFS partition.

Question Pixel 6 Pro AT&T

Currently on a OnePlus Nord n10 5g (5g doesn't work on AT&T) I am ready for an upgrade and can grab the 512gb Pixel 6 Pro for 400$.
I see that it has a lot of support for Roms, how ever I just wanted to ask a couple questions on that topic.
Are all versions of the the Pixel unlock able and rootable? Do custom roms fix some of the issues I have heard about.
Thanks

6 Pro 512gb for $400? That's a no-brainer.
I'm using the Pro, it's been a perfect phone imo. Look, 12L just came out 4 days ago, has resolved a ton of issues for the 6 series (mobile connectivity etc). Only thing some people are seeing, is battery drain, but that can be fixed with a kernel and root. I say go for it, worst that happens is you sell it and make some money if its in good condition.
There's a ton of ROMs and kernels for the 6 series if you want to go that route, there's a pixel 6 telegram channel that provides updates with all the kernels and roms for the 6 series... pretty great to have all that info in one location t.me/pixel6updates.

I'm using the Pro, it's perfect (I tried a kernel yesterday and had some issues with Shelter and white preview on camera, so I removed it and went back to GraphenOS). Look, 12L has resolved a ton of issues. Only thing some people are seeing, is excessive battery drain, but that can be fixed with a kernel and root.

No, only phones which can have the bootloader unlocked are able to be rooted and flash other ROMs. As they come, the only Pixel that can is the factory unlocked model (usually straight from Google). One or more other carrier versions of the Pixel 6 Pro can eventually have the bootloader unlocked, but not until you pay the phone off, or jump through some hoops.
I know you mentioned AT&T - I have no idea if anyone with the AT&T variant has fully unlocked their phone, but you can use the search function on this section to see what folks say. Some with T-Mobile have. Verizon variants can never be bootloader unlocked.

I bought my 6 pro off eBay used it was a at&t model. The phone said I couldn't oem unluck because it was carrier lock this setting was gray out in the developer settings. I use a sim unlock code from a site and after getting the confirmation that it was unlocked I did a factory reset and now I'm able to toggle the oem setting on and off. Still need to see if the unlock command works

Good to hear, thanks! I'm sure you'll be able to unlock the bootloader just fine. Once you enable OEM Unlock (and keep it on), then there shouldn't be anything stopping you, except the caveat that when you unlock the bootloader, it'll factory reset your phone, of course.

That wouldn't be a problem since I cant just reinstall all my apps again. Now I have a question. I haven't root a phone since I had my nexus 6. After unlocking the bootloader I know I will have the message when the phone turns on.
My questions is If i root with magisk and a new update comes out for the pixel 6. Is it just a matter of uninstalling magisk and doing the system update. Than installing magisk again to root. Is it this simple or do I have to do something else before installing new system update OTA

There are at least several ways of taking updates. I do things differently (using the new full factory image each month). The best places to discuss any methods are the following threads in this section:
(All three of those threads may give information for that method, or only one or two of them. I know at least some of them detail that method. What you said basically sounds right to me, but as I said, I don't do it that way, but it's by all means just as legitimate a method.)
The fourth (not surounded in red) thread may also be important to you in order to get banking apps including Google Pay working 100%.
Good luck!

Thank you for the info. I'll go read this one's out. And decide what method to use.

You must fully pay for your phone to get sim unlock. After simunlock you can unlock bootlaoder.

Does it still use the traditional "use a different carrier SIM and put in a code" unlock method? Just asking as T-Mo had to unlock server side.
How much did the SIM unlock run?

Rooting is different than unlocking BL. Install twrp and flash magisk 25.2 apk using twrp, reboot into rom, install magisk 25.2 apk, turn on root in Magisk app. Then you'll be rooted

This might be a dumb question, but will my phone still be unlocked if I decide to flash a custom rom?

Yes. As I understand, if your bootloader is unlocked:
* You should be able to flash any 7t ROM. However, you can't relock bootloader on a custom ROM.
* If you flash official global Oneplus ROM, you can either leave your bootloader unlocked (and gain root access with magisk etc, but caviot is 'device is unsafe' display message on boot), or you can choose to re-lock the bootlader and make it like stock but without root.
To recap, you're King if you have an unlocked bootloader, plus you're phone is already sim-unlocked (can't unlock bootloader without sim unlock). Happy flashing and someone correct me kindly please if any of the above is wrong/misleading.

Ok so i've spent the past few days flashing different roms. When i flashed a stock t-mobile rom, in the settings under unlock status it says my phone is permanently unlocked but I cannot use a sim, it has no signal and I cannot send or receive calls. Do you think this is a hardware problem or it just isn't compatible with my carrier? Im from jamaica and I use a network called flow.

Select OnePlus 7T
Click on T-Mobile HD63CB/
Click on Q (Know you want to stay on R, but you can upgrade from Q to R once you've converted from T-mobile to Global Firmware)
In my experience OnePlus 7T T-Mobile OxygenOS 10.0.3.zip works.
Once you've reset your phone Android 10, you can now do the T-mobile to Global Firmware conversion. I'm assuming you have used the MSM tools previously. If you need any help about that please let me know. Done that quite a few times now. I prefer the last step on Manjaro Linux as I don't have to worry about the drivers for the ADB interface. But I get the idea you have that sorted out. BTW my OnePlus 7T runs OxygenOS 11.0.9.1.HD65AA. I'm not locking the bootloader as I do root it and use it for Kali Nethunter from time to time.

I haven't tried that, but I've flashed so many roms and factory reset so many times it probably won't have any effect. I eventually will try it again and I will keep that in mind. Thank you for the reply though.

I also have HD1907 T Mobile Version of Op7T.
It had global version installed when I bought it (Used device)
It was bootloader unlocked but when I flashed original t mobile rom using msm tool, bootloader got locked as well and I had to apply for bootloader unlock code from Oneplus and wait for 7 days.
Then, after unlocking bootloader again, I tried flashing global fastboot rom. It was unsuccessful and phone was almost bricked
Got errors like 'cannot write to critical partition'
Again had to flash stock t mobile rom after much difficulty.

I'll need to have a look, but think after the first reboot if you reboot into Fastboot and not FastbootD you'd get those problems. Certain .img files only flash in FastbootD. Lol bricked this phone multiple times, but the MSM Tool and EDL is a life saver.

[GUIDE][WIP]T-Mobile Brand Conversion to Rooted Global Firmware
First, let me say that this is only an attempt to pull this information out from a lot of different threads that require a bunch of research and a lot of institutional knowledge of Android. The idea of this thread is going from 100% T-Mobile...
forum.xda-developers.com
I'm pretty sure I recall that you need to flash the global 7t rom (not the TMO version) IF you intend to flash anything but the TMO stock rom. In other words, don't go from TMO stock firmware to say the pixel experience. So if your bootloader is unlocked, go grab one of the global ROMs (10 or 11), flash that, then factory reset your phone. Your device should report HD1905 in settings as the variant (non-tmo).
I suspect if you're having trouble with multiple roms, you just need to wipe data/cache, then use the link above to flash the global, then factory reset again just to be sure no tmo footprints are left behind. Verify HD1905 is your phone variant, then flash away with whatever you desire. And after that, it wouldn't hurt to factory reset again.
I wouldn't think Jamaica would be a problem, but I truely don't know, maybe someone else here could comment?

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?

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.

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.

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..

im on an unlocked (purchased new) OP9 pro and I have no issues. I've always wanted to see if TMO modem works better, but it works great enough that it't more of just a curiosity.

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.

TWRP is a little wonky, Magisk is a yess!

If you have no luck through TMO with unlocking the bootloader, let me know. There is another way to do that.

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....
