Question Any Luck with Flashing a Tmobile to International?

[zymphad]

I can almost guarantee you I'm one of the first LE2127 owner to unlock the bootloader and do this.

Why are you even arguing with me about a device you don't have, and whereas I can actually test this stuff and find out exactly what makes the modem power on again?

Not arguing.

I keep saying this is genuinely the weirdest thing I have read about on XDA. I don't know how I have bee part of XDA since doing my own custom roms on Nexus phones and owning three OnePlus devices now, I have never heard of this before.

And I been with T Mobile this entire time too.

Learn something new. T Mobile OP device which is 99.99 identical, flash to rom that works perfect with T Mobile causes modem to crash. Fascinating.

Well, the situation is that currently, a tmobile branded OP9P (I don't own or can test the 9), flashing a non T-Mobile modem.img will crash the modem. If anyone wants to do the conversion, they should be prepared to make a backup of the stock modem.

@craznazn Now that MSM tool has just been released, as soon as I get my unlock token from OP, I can test once I unlock the BL. I have both the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro on T-Mobile. Waiting for unlock tokens for both devices. Might take a minute though, last OP phones I tinkered with were the 7 Pro and 8 (both on T-Mo). Didn't care to mess with 8T seeing how I was eagerly awaiting the 9 series. Gotta get all my tools/files prepped again. Feel free to send me a PM if you'd rather chat that way so we don't stir anything up lol.

It's doable. The Global/EU ROMs will break your modem, so you'll have to re-flash your TMO modem back in order to get connectivity. I will not be making a guide until MSM is available.

MSM is available if you wanna make that guide. I'm sure it's the same as the 7 Pro/8/8T with subtle changes, but I'm sure myself and fellow noobs here would find it handy lol.

The only MSM I see right now is the 2125, not the T-Mobile branded 2127. I even reached out to OP themselves, and there does not appear to be a MSM For 2127 yet.

So there's no way that the one that was just posted here on XDA would work for the T-Mobile branded one? I thought it was possible before with the OP 8, unless that was specifically for the T-Mobile version.

Unfortunately, no.

I hope we get it MSM tool soon so I can make mine international I like the right away updates

There are serious drawbacks this time if I can't fix the modem crashing: each time you take an OTA, you'll have to re-flash an older working Tmo modem.

Ah, crap. Any foreseeable hope for us in that regard?

Not yet, I'm working on it but no ETA

 

[GuyInDogSuit]

That's something to look forward to, at least. Appreciate your research into this matter.

 

[nmccord30]

Huh? I never had a 8T. I got a 9. And I flashed EU full OTA few days ago and have rock solid stability with T-Mobile. Didn't do anything related to modem.

How did you flash it I have a unlocked T-Mobile

 

[nmccord30]

Nope.

But I am still wondering why this would break if EU and Global work perfect with T Mobile. That is so weird. I have seen plenty of threads of T Mobile users unlocking and flashing Global without problems. This is first I have seen of this. This is so weird to me. Like doesn't make sense if EU and Global work with T Mobile so by switching it would stop working. That makes no sense to me.

Would you be willing to share the process to flash my T-Mobile 9 pro to the global

 

[TheKnux]

Unfortunately, no.

Hmm, if I remember correctly, back in the 7 Pro days, there was a user by the name of @themustached that was able to patch the param to do certain things as well as the ability to unlock your bootloader without unlocking the SIM. It was pretty sweet. If @Eliminater74 is still active, maybe he can try and get a hold of him.

I know the frustrations with xda. Just know your efforts are much appreciated. I have a t mobile 9 pro unlocked (LE2127) . If there is anything I can do to help feel free to hit me up. I'm still waiting on my unlock token from oneplus. Shouldn't be more then a few days till I get it

Same, just waiting on my unlock token as well, though I just submitted mine yesterday.

If you're already unlocked what are you waiting for the token for? I'm unlocked also that's why I'm asking

Sorry I haven't read all the replies. But basically flashing to global is like same steps as 8t? Where u have to use payload dumper and then flash with fastbootd and replace the modem?? I think that's what I have gotten outta what I read?? Lol and he/she is right about the modem replacement with TMobile.

Same steps, yes. Once you do, you'll notice that you wont have any wireless connectivity. Restore that by flashing the original T-Mobile modem.img, so make sure to dump your original modem first
