Just checking to see if anyone has been able to convert their TMO OP7T to international firmware. Would like to do this but I haven't discovered a way to do so yet. If anyone knows, let me know! Thank you, kind developers.

I'm sure it'll come. Came out for the 6T and 7 Pro in pretty short order.

Someone was doing SIM unlocks for the 7 Pro on that forum- I wonder if their same method would work on the 7T?

Yup definitely need to sim unlock this baby and convert. I already cracked the back glass some how, waiting on a replacement from Assurant. The case that comes with it sux but I love OnePlus for being the onlyone to supply it with the phone, I miss the factory applied screen protector too.... T-Mobile updates slow.....

How did you crack the back, dropped do you have a case on it? I keep thinking if I'll just return mine and go for the P4XL, jerryrig did a video on this, back cracks easily and putting soaking the phone in water somehow damage it, not like the other OnePlus phone that comes before this

It was in my pocket and I sat on it by accident. Glad it was just the back and not the front screen. Their on backorder too soo, waiting for replacement. The back is fragile and the case that it comes with it is just a basic case.

Other than the boot up animation, what are we missing since we bought them from tmobile?
On my 6t, the T-Mobile software was missing several features like quick launch, smart boost, call recording etc... More importantly the T-Mobile software was not updated NEARLY as frequently as the international was. This is the only thing that has me concerned, as I know Android 10 is a bit buggy right now and I'm worried that T-Mobile will be slow with the updates. OnePlus typically sends out monthly updates, which I will not get in the T-Mobile version.

Hey thanks for the reply, I appreciate all the info. I am actually going to return mine today, I'll rebuy from one plus and on my Citi card so Ill have 4 months of protection from any glass damage.... Really want that tough armour case from Spigen, but amazon is saying mid December, which won't be bad if I snag a 7t on black friday, if oneplus even does deals during that?

Coming from an OG pixel XL I've been spoiled with updates and anything not as frequent is going to suck.
