Is this worth? I just got my phone unlocked and i miss being rooted. I see some roms but they don't seem up to date per say.
Also, can someone make a yt vod?
So you don't get the support back even if the bootloader is locked again? I've read elsewhere that relocking gets it back. Also have read that they've still had l1 support even with an unlocked bootloaderIf you unlocked the bootloader and therefore lost Widevine L1 support FOREVER,
Not on this specific model you sure don't, I know on the OP8s they found a workaround for L1, but we're pretty much screwedSo you don't get the support back even if the bootloader is locked again?

Huh. Intersting that Oneplus would have an approved unlock method that breaks the phone. Saw other posts saying locking the BL restores functionality though, including this one. Just got the phone and actually like OOS11 quite a bit, but the battery life sucks (2-3%+/hour when idle) and I can't figure out what's draining it wihout root. I don't use netflix, but hate the thought of permanently breaking something. I also can't figure out if any of the non-Mclaren specific roms work on this...Not on this specific model you sure don't, I know on the OP8s they found a workaround for L1, but we're pretty much screwed

Wow, that sucks. Thought I had done my homework before buying this phone. The ROMS for the 5g look pretty sparse, not a ton of development. I've never had a non-rooted phone before, but wondering if it's worth it. Might not keep this phone as long as planned, although I really do like OOS. So relocking the bootloader works to restore L1 on the international variants?Unfortunately, only roms made for this very specific variant, the T-Mobile 7T Pro 5G McLaren (that's a mouthful, gonna stick with HD1925) will run.
The HD1925 was produced after the 7T/Pro and is a completely different beast, much more similar to 8/Pro as far as the underlying OS/system due to it's X55 modem and further changes made due to launching with A10. And it's the only 1+ phone tmk that can't be converted to global (because there was never a 7T Pro international variant with the X55 5G modem)
The regular non-5G 7T Pro McLaren is just a 7T Pro with a different colored back and possibly more memory and can run the same roms as the 7T Pro.
Unlocking the bootloader does come with a huge disclaimer, although it's still pretty messed up that OnePlus designed it to break L1 forever. I'm sure there is some way to restore it, but it has yet to be found on the HD1925.
If you decide to unlock the bootloader, please make a backup of your persist partition using the MSM tool before even unlocking. Or it's a very, very good chance you'll end up with a broken FP scanner (which can be fixed but never works as good as before) through no fault of your own or worse with a brick with no sensors, wifi, or even IMEI. And even if you are able to fix the FP reader, then you're stuck with the phone having to stay bootloader unlocked, as locking it will immediately break the FP sensor again.
Yeah, I feel the same way.Wow, that sucks. Thought I had done my homework before buying this phone. The ROMS for the 5g look pretty sparse, not a ton of development.

Thanks for all the info, though I don't like it.
There is a working TWRP now, boot it, don't flash. Rename the magisk.apk to magisk.zip, flash and profit
Do you have the link to the new TWRP for OP7T Pro 5G Mclaren? I only have TWRP 3.3..1-5 for this phone and yesterday when I tried, I can't find the magisk Zip file.There is a working TWRP now, boot it, don't flash. Rename the magisk.apk to magisk.zip, flash and profit

TWRP can't format data either. Failed to mount data.
Thank you for the stock boot image for 11.0.1.4 HD61CB @Machine318.
I think this is my stock image
fastbootHi. So I wanted to put together a little write-up on how to root the T-Mobile McLaren 5G variant, at least how I rooted mine, as there doesn't seem to be anything about this yet. I was actually able to root my device last night successfully, so I hope this guide helps others go through the process.
**WARNING** Unlocking your bootloader will render your phone unable to take OTA updates! This is a newly discovered problem that hopefully will be fixed soon. But currently, unlocking the bootloader will wipe your data and also a reserve.img needed for the OTA updates. Proceed with caution!
*I do not take ANY credit for this work. I am simply gathering data from various sources into one single reference guide*
*Credit is due to HolyChickenGuy and dstryrwiz mostly, as I gathered most of the data from these members. Also, topjohnwu of course for Magisk.*
So, anyhow, with this version of the OnePlus Pro 7T being carrier-locked, you must of course follow different procedures than a typical unlocked phone. And because OnePlus thinks they are special somehow, you also have to obtain an unlock code for the bootloader. :laugh:
Steps that I followed:
1. Obtain SIM unlock status via T-Mobile. In order to do this, I simply just asked a T-Mobile employee via Twitter if they could provide me a permanent unlock. And without any issues, they were very kind to do so....even after day 2 of owning the phone. And on the EIP, it's not paid off.
2. After getting them to add your IMEI to the unlock list, go to the system settings --> WiFi & internet --> SIM & network section. There will be an option called "Network Unlock" at the very bottom under the 'Advanced' section. Click that and then go through the prompts. You want to choose "Permanent Unlock". Then, if T-Mobile made on their promise, it should ask to reboot...after which the 'OEM unlocking' option under the Developer Options will no longer be grayed out. Woohoo!
3. After obtaining successful SIM unlock, now you have to submit a form to OnePlus to obtain the actual unlock.bin file to get the bootloader unlocked, generated from a unique 64 character code you will obtain in the next step.
Ensure that USB Debugging is turned ON. In fact, make sure it's always on during this entire procedure, because it's required. Enter fastboot mode via holding the power and volume DOWN buttons during boot up. Or easiest way is to simply soft reboot with the "Advanced reboot" option enabled from the Developer Options. Once in fastboot mode, enter the following command to obtain this 64 character code...fastboot oem get_unlock_code
This will spit out that 64 character code. Now go to this page, sign in, and fill out the form to submit for the .bin file.NOTE: This takes at LEAST 7 days to get the .bin file. For whatever reason...it must be an automated system. I tried contacting them twice, but they wouldn't budge and told me I had to wait. LOL. And it seriously took EXACTLY 7 days and like 12 minutes for the email to arrive.
4. So after you have the "key" to finally unlock this darn phone, enter fastboot mode again and enter the following commands...
fastboot flash cust-unlock "%path\to\unlock_code.bin%"fastboot oem unlock<<-- This step will ERASE everything on your phone. Most people know this, but I have to say it. Internal storage will be wiped too. :good:
Finally, the phone is unlocked. Now we can root it.
*I used various information from different forum postings...and some previous knowledge of course. Again, I don't take credit for any of this. I'm just following instructions.
5. Download the unofficial TWRP .img file for the OnePlus 7T Pro from here. To be honest, I am not even sure if using TWRP for this part is really necessary, but somehow I came to that conclusion. LOL. This process worked for me, so yeah. Anyhow, enter fastboot mode again and boot to TWRP (do NOT flash it!) by entering the following...
fastboot boot "%path\to\twrp-3.3.1-5-hotdog-unified-mauronofrio.img%"Now in TWRP, enter the following commands to extract your stock boot.img file...
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=boot.imgadb pull /boot.imgThis will copy your boot.img file to wherever adb is running on your computer.
6. Take that boot.img file and copy it over to your internal SD on your phone. Boot your phone up as normal, and go grab Magisk Manager from Git here. Open up Magisk Manager, expand the "Advanced Settings" option, and check the "Preserve force encryption" and "Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity". Select the "Install" button from the regular Magisk option and choose "Select and Patch a File ". Find your boot.img file and Magisk Manager will created a patched .img file. Copy this new .img file from your phone over to your PC.
7. Enter fastboot mode again. Now just boot from this newly patched .img file by entering the following...
fastboot boot "%path\to\magisk_patched.img%"
8. Final step. And hopefully your phone boots up.
*If not, and you're stuck in a boot loop...you might need to make the A or B partition active. To do this, while back in fastboot mode, enter either command (most likely B)...
fastboot --set-active=afastboot --set-active=bAgain, hopefully the phone just booted up normally without having to do that. Now in your phone, open up Magisk Manager again and simply choose the same Install option, but instead select "Direct Install". Magisk will now flash that .img file, ultimately granting permanent root privileges.
Reboot and enjoy!!

im having the exact same issue and would appreciate any help, also i see people posting their patched boot.img as i assume a shortcut? would appreciate any simplified steps to follow using someones patched boot.img, sorry not super fluent in fastboot but understand the basics, been trying to successfully root after unlocking bootloader for ages so ANY help is greatly appreciated. thanks for taking time to read/reply!!fastboot
I am experiencing a strange issue that I am hoping that someone can help me with. I have followed the instructions and gotten as far as unlocking my phone and the bootloader. However, when I run the fastboot command to boot into the TWRP .img file linked to in this post (or any custom boot image for that matter), my phone will just display and freeze on the fastboot mode screen:
View attachment 5408839
What is odd is that my phone will continue to respond to fastboot commands when frozen on this screen, so I can easily get out of it by simply running "fastboot reboot bootloader", but then I am back to square one. I am not sure what is going on, so some input from the community would really be appreciated. Thanks.
