Oh that is most unfortunate, I'm sorry your 7 Pro broke. Is the Note 10+ about the same or better in terms of performance and features? I'm not familiar with that phone. With regards to rooting your new one, prob just a matter of time. Seems like there's always a way. Thanks to some user on Telegram, the Verizon variant of the Pixel 2 I bought for my father, which is considered impossible to bootloader unlock and root, has in fact been rooted. Many thanks for your contributions here, they've been a tremendous help.
The note has the same chip as the 7 pro. Performance is about the same. similar screen resolution. the screen is a little bigger. the 7 pro has much better main cameras. but other than that I'm just trying to get used to the Samsung.

Samsung has a lot of their stuff loaded on the phone (most of it useless for me).

There are a lot of just minor differences worth how you get around. Overall I'm happy with it i guess.

I've looked all over for how to unlock the bootloader on this and there is only one thread for the snapdragon note that is a paid service. no tools or anything. and that thread is closed rn. not sure if I'll be able to unlock it or not.

Thanks for the acknowledgements. I appreciate it. I hope you enjoy the new firmware and don't have to worry about TMO software anymore

Hello. I have a OnePlus 7 Pro with the following details
Android version: 11
Builder Number: Oxygen OS 11.0.1.5.GM31CB
Model: GM1915

I've unlocked my bootloader but I'm not sure of what to do next, because I can't find a boot image of the version 11.0.1.5.

Am I just out of luck with this device? Is it possible to upgrade to a new version and just use one of those available boot images?

    This Guide is intended for OP7 Pro Devices that are already running Android 11 after the May 2021 TMO OTA.

    DO NOT flash the provided boot image if your device has not been updated to android 11.

    REQUIREMENTS


    Before proceeding, you must make sure your GM1915 bootloader has been unlocked, and you have the required tools installed on your PC.

    For additional information, please see section 1 of the TMO OP7 Pro Unlock/TWRP Thread

    Please Note: TWRP is not compatible with Android 11 on the GM1915 at this time. Do not attempt to install it.

    Thanks to @justencase6 for providing a copy of the 11.0.1.2 OTA package.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    MAKE SURE you flash the correct boot image. Only flash the boot image of the OOS version you are running or you will have boot issues.
    1. Install the latest Magisk Manager on your device if it is not already installed.
    2. Download the patched boot image that matches your current OOS version from below.
      Copy the downloaded image to your fastboot directory.
      To make things a little easier, you can rename this file to "boot.img"
    3. Reboot your device to the bootloader using the advanced reboot menu or
      Code:
      adb reboot bootloader
    4. Confirm your device is detected by fastboot :
      Code:
      fastboot devices
    5. Flash the patched boot image to the boot partition :
      Code:
      fastboot flash boot_a magisk-patched-OOS-11.0-boot.img
      fastboot flash boot_b magisk-patched-OOS-11.0-boot.img
    6. Reboot device :
      Code:
      fastboot reboot

    Your device should now be rooted. Run Magisk Manager and confirm the installation status. You should see the following under "Magisk"

    Code:
    Installed: 23.0 (23000)  A/B: Yes
    Ramdisk:   Yes           SAR: Yes

    Due to problems updating and 11.0.1.5 being an incremental update, this image is not available

    11.0.1.6
    11.0.1.7
    Incremetal Update - No Boot Image Available

    11.0.1.8

    I will continue to release these for future OTA's. I don't monitor TMO release dates, I just wait for the OTA notification on my phone so it may take longer for me to find out there is an update.

    Feel free to PM me when a new update is pushed out.

    After reverting to 9.5.10 with the MSM tool, I was finally able to update to 11.0.1.6. I have to re-unlock my bootloader though, and I noticed that the OP unlock request link is no longer working. No idea what's going on with that.

    Anyways, ill be posting the 11.0.1.6 patched boot today sometime.
    I finally got around to wanting to root my device and I am on the latest 11.0.1.6 version. Looking forward to this. Thank You!

    Im sorry but I only work with T-Mobile devices. I don't have any other firmware on hand and I do not have any way of testing things for other devices. How are you patching the boot image?
    extracted the boot.img from payload.bin with python.
    patched the extracted img with the latest magisk 23.0
    flash the patched img with fastboot to both slots a and b
    fastboot reboot aaaaaaaaand voila a nice bootloop

    ***********
    solution

    adb reboot bootloader
    reflash stock img to slots a and b
    fastboot reboot aaaaaaaaand voila a nice phone with no root hahaha
