Not so much... If you buy a Verizon Pixel it will be locked until an exploit is found. If you buy a T-Mobile Pixel you will still have the same Network Unlock crap that all T-Mobile phones have.
I remember I had to use the Google sms app on TMO in order to get some texts. The oneplus would not work. That's one of the reasons I installed global and never went back. Happy modding!
Sir kindly help me. I have an issue. I want to convert my T-mobile oneplus8 to Global. I have downloaded Global version of oxygen OS from the link given in '' Mirror for first and last MSMs. And when I select O2 from the Target menu in MSM and doing the steps given it shows an error. Which is '' Device not match image ''Disclaimer: By attempting any of the processes listed in this thread you accept full responsibility for your actions. I will not be held responsible if your device stops working, catches fire, or turns into a hipster and claims to have been modified before it was cool.
Hi everyone, similar to the previous threads for
OP3, OP3T, OP5, OP5T, OP6, OP6T, OP7, OP7PRO, regular OP7T, T-Mobile OP7T, regular OP7TPRO, T-Mobile OP7TPro 5G, regular OP8 and OP8Pro here is the EDL package (also known as MSM tool or unbrick tool) that can revive a bricked OnePlus 8 bought from T-Mobile.
It will only work with T-Mobile variant IN2017
You should also be able to rollback your phone to a previous release of OOS with them if for some reason you want to go back to an older firmware
You can download the following versions:
ANDROID 10:
Mirror for first and last MSMs: https://onepluscommunityserver.com/
Instructions:
Launch MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe.
On the login prompt select "Other" in the dropdown menu and click on Next.
Wait a few seconds until main window shows up.
Click on Target button and select TMO.
Press Start button so that it waits for your device to be connected
Power off your device
Maintain volume up and down buttons to get into Qualcomm EDL mode.
Plug your device to your computer.
Wait ~300 seconds.
Enjoy your brand new device.
FAQ:
Does this work on Mac or on Linux?
Unfortunately no, tool is Windows only. You should need at least Windows 7.
Why is my antivirus freaking out when unzipping the archive or running the tool?
In an effort to protect reverse engineering from being done (and by extension prevent conversion process like it was done on 6T and 7Pro), OnePlus now use VM Protect V3 in their MSM tools. As this tries to detect debug environment, this is seen as malicious behaviour by some antivirus.
My device isn't detected
Go to device manager and make sure your phone shows up as QDLOADER 9008.
If it shows up as QHUSB_BULK, it means Qualcomm driver wasn't installed automatically by Windows Update. Download the latest one from Microsoft website at http://download.windowsupdate.com/c..._fba473728483260906ba044af3c063e309e6259d.cab (source https://www.catalog.update.microsof...updateid=8ee52ba0-bdef-4009-88cf-335a678dd67a ) and install it manually by right clicking on QHUSB_BULK and selecting "Update driver software" and "Browse my computer for driver software" to where you downloaded CAB file.
If you can't get into EDL mode by hardware keys, you may use adb reboot edl (will require your phone to still have ADB access)
MSM tool is stuck on "Param pre-processing"
Ensure you're using the Qualcomm drivers linked above.
MSM tool is stuck on "Sahara communication failed"
Unplug your phone, get in fastboot mode, turn off phone, wait 15 secondes and get back in Qualcomm EDL mode. You can also try using a USB 2.0 port instead of a 3.0 one.
What is SMT Download mode?
Just don't try to unlock that mode, it will wipe your IMEI and your Widevine certificate if you use it.
How can I fix "SMT config not found" error?

You can't MSM TMO to global. That tool is only for use to come back to stock if needed. Use this thread and download the global from there. Happy modding!

Try while plug in usb cable on phone, holding vol + & - and power botton until phone reboot.Am hoping someone here can help me. I have an unlocked bootloader on my OP8, and was trying to flash a different rom, but it is bricked-- phone boots to crashdump mode. When I hold vol up + power to hard power off, it reboots and does not power off. This is not a result of me holding the power button too long. I release all buttons the instant the screen goes black. But instead of staying powered off, the screen stays black for about 2s and then does a little 'vibrate' and powers back on again. The result is that I can't completely power off the device in order to put it into EDL mode. Other things I've tried: releasing power and then holding down vol up + vol down the second the screen goes blank and plugging in the usb cable to a USB 2.0 port before the little vibration indicating power on occurs (this took me 30m of trying to pull off because that's a lot of things to do with two hands in less than 2s). This causes the "Fastboot" boot graphic to appear for less than a second, whereupon it goes straight back into crashdump mode. I have also tried booting straight back into fastboot mode-- same result: flashes the Fastboot icon briefly and then goes straight to crashdump mode. The only thing I have left to try is letting the power completely run out and then trying to enter EDL mode. I'm really hoping someone has some advice for me because I have no idea what else I can do. If anyone can tell me something that works I'll gladly paypal you some drinks funds.
Edit to add: also, I am using the stock cable. I let it run out of power overnight, but when I hold down vol up + vol down and plug it in, nothing happens. MDM is definitely open, but nothing shows up in device manager. If I press power, it shows a display for like 2s that there's not enough battery left. If I let it charge long enough to get enough battery to start, it powers on automatically and starts the crashdump mode all
Yeah, I tried that. It never installs anything or shows up in device manager at all until after it shows the crashdump screen. When it reboots, it never goes to EDL mode at all or even tries to. Instead, it immediatley tries to enter fastboot, fails, then switches to crashdump. I tried forcibly installing the 9008 driver over the 900E driver it installs when in crashdump mode, just to be sure. If I reboot while holding +/-, it shows it offline in device manager. The phone then vibrates. It shows fastboot for less than a second. It then goes straight into crashdump mode, and _only then_ does it show up in device manager. So in other words, EDL and Fastboot devices aren't showing up in device manager at all, period, because Windows isn't even detecting anything as connected until it hits crashdump. Thanks for trying to think of something though =/
So I know that I'd tried this the first 50 times before looking really, really carefully at everyone's advice to get it powered off and only then hold volumes and plug in (no power button). However, I literally received a brand new OP8 for my wife in the mail today. It also came with a brand new OEM cable. When I used *that*, it worked, and the MSM tool saw it. For anyone else encountering this problem, please consider buying a new cable. Mine was about a year old and I think it may have been damaged just enough to cause issues, even though Warp charge was still working with it.
Awesome! Thanks for this. Was able to downgrade from 11 without unlocking bootloader etcDisclaimer: By attempting any of the processes listed in this thread you accept full responsibility for your actions.

I downloaded it the other day. If you can't find it I could host the file on Google drive or something for you. It looks like its in the community server and can download from there.
I found a download link in another thread. Thank you for the offer!
Ah yes. I had an "issue" there as well. I'll elaborate and try to make it easy.
