I used the debloat method to get the oem unlock ticked but i did fastboot oem unlock and it requested the .bin... this sawksno I don't think so! Because it doesn't use fastboot to flash
It uses EDL mode to flash
Can you please please please update these files again, I would love that thank you.MAJOR UPDATE: Managed to flash Global stock rom to the MetroPCS variant
Pros: Stock Oneplus and everything works
Cons: OEM unlock is still greyed out
Before you go any further:
THERE IS NO ROOT FOR THIS DEVICE WITH A LOCKED BOOTLOADER (YET). THIS THREAD IS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF METHODS TO ACHIEVE THIS.
Just got this device from MetroPCS this week and love this device. However I found out very quick that you have to be with MetroPCS for 180 days before you can get unlocked. To unlock the bootloader you have to be sim unlocked from the carrier.
This thread will be for development of a working root process for others to offer perspective. Feel free to try to replicate at your own risk. If anyone is interested in these files/tools let me know and I will publish more links.
;Download international and metro ROM and MSM tool from these thread (thanks to @Some_Random_Username)
International
MetroPCS
This download will include the latest MSM Download Tool
The work around that I found does not need MSM to be patched
;TOOLS
download and extract oppo decrypt master
unpack and repack .OPS files for use with MSM Download Tool 4 .exe
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method
TD;RL:
Extract the .ops file, open settings.xml replace the project ID, repack
Set up:
1. Download international zip and metro zip from above, extract into 2 seperate folders and delete billie8t_14_O.01_201218.ops in the metro folder
2. have adb installed
3. Install python3 and prereqs for oppo decrypt master
Extract .ops, edit and flash:
1. unzip the zip file with the .ops file from both folders and move it to the folder with oppo decrypt
2. run "python3 opscrypto.py decrypt billie8_14_O.01_210128.ops" (decrypt both .ops files from each firmware, the first one being the metro and get the /extract/settings.xml file and open it. we will need info from it)
3. Now extract the international firmware with opoo decrypt and open the extract folder
4. open "settings.xml" from both firmwares in your favorite editor
6. Change the following in the international settings.xml: Project=20886 to Project=20885 and ModelVerifyRandom= (THESE NEED TO BE EXACTLY WHAT ARE IN THE METRO SETTINGS.XML file)
6. Save the file
7. run "python3 opscrypto.py encrypt extract". This will create a file called out.ops
8. Once finished place out.ops into the metro firmware folder and rename to "billie8t_14_O.01_201218.ops"
9. With your phone turned on, plug your phone into the computer
10. Open MSMdownloadtoolv4.0.exe and press start
11. Run "adb reboot edl"
12. Your computer should recognize and start the download.
13. Wait a while and it will reboot.
Here is my working files for anyone who wants to tinker
Includes MSMdownloadtools, modded OPS file and (edited settings.xml and patched recovery.img inside OPS)
Updated downloads include:
Decrypted Metro OPS (IMGs, BIN, etc)
Metro to Global (OPS)

Hi @ieatgravity thanks for the work you are doing. I have a question I want to do same for Oneplus 8T TMO version and convert it to global. I have both zips one from TMO with MSM tool and one for Global KB2005, before trying this method should I be worried about the firmware versions? for instance both zips have OxygenOS_11.0.7.9 which are same, but if let say global will be different version such us OxygenOS_11.0.0.0 will this method still work? Thanks in advanceMAJOR UPDATE: Managed to flash Global stock rom to the MetroPCS variant

Yes same story here I know there is a msm 8t tmo conversion tool to EU but I used your tools and change global version of .ops file project id and other part , I will try once my phone will reach me. Just wan to know that version of firmware's is not mandatory to be the same TMO-Global.Hey, sorry for the late reply. Compare the hardware information first to ensure compatibility. Otherwise you're going to run into issues. As long as critical hardware is the same then it should work. For instance, on the Nord N 10, the global (and EU?) Hardware is slightly different as it has 2 Sim cards where as the US (Metro & Tmobile) version only has 1. Everything else seems to be the same.
Correct. If you have any connectivity issues with your Sim or mobile network not connecting to the correct bands you can go into the hidden setting to adjust it. I will post a new thread with how to do that sometime soon.Yes same story here I know there is a msm 8t tmo conversion tool to EU but I used your tools and change global version of .ops file project id and other part , I will try once my phone will reach me.

Not sure without seeing your environment. If find the time I will try to reupload my original files. Also. I am about to update the op.Hi @ieatgravity I have changed both required parts in ops file but when running MSM tool it gives error "unsupported target tmo" any idea what I have done wrong?
I looked at his github code several months ago and it doesn't seem to be legitimate, more like fishing code.
Like the code he claims to sim unlock, it actually just bypass the setup security and has nothing to do with sim network unlock.
