[GUIDE] Convert TMO to EU via MSM Tool, no SIM Unlock or Bootloader Unlock needed!

- Start date
Hello!
The hardware of the phone stays the same regardless of the firmware installed.
So changing firmware (Global/Europe/India) will not unlock additional bands in hardware.
Will this method work for my OnePlus 8T 5G (T mobile still locked Bl)*** Use this at your very own risk.
*** You will lose all data
*** Backup your working modem and persist, just in case
*** Read the entire post and follow the steps closely before asking for help. Post all error messages and steps you took. Screenshots and MSM logs will be best.
!!! I have officially retired my 8T, and can no longer provide additional support on this device !!!
It's finally here! A MSM tool that will convert your T-Mobile OnePlus8T+5G to EU KB05BA. From here you can local upgrade to any OOS flavor you want. This gives you Local Upgrade option, faster upgrades, open betas, dual SIM, and more! In fact, after conversion, you can unlock the bootloader without the unlock token (still need to be SIM unlocked, but in case you don't want to wait for the unlock token or if OnePlus's website is broken)!
If you are still SIM locked, you lose the Unlock app for when your device becomes unlocked, it's only available in the stock TMO ROM. If you want to go back to TMO ROM at any point, flash back with the TMO MSM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4180981/
Steps:
If you run into any MSM tool issues, most likely you have a driver problem. See the FAQ in @Some_Random_Username's post

Instructions to Bootloader Unlock a SIM locked device:
Old fastboot method
Fixing the About Phone page
Issues so far (please post if you run into more):
- In OOS11, "About phone" page does not work properly.
- Use the magisk module above to fix it.
- In OOS12, Dual SIM is not supported.
- A11 based A12 ROMs support Dual SIM after conversion, use my enable_dsds module.
- Unlocked bootloader without unlock_token must be done while in OOS11, as OOS12+ ABL will check that a token is needed
