Is it possible to take the unlocked bootloader from someone's phone who used the web based unlocking tool and use it to make a new generic bootloader for a rom. If it is possible, and Moto does the same(especially now that google is buying the mobility division) ...
Using the official web based tool would get you on the warranty/TOS violations list for sure. I would like to avoid that scenario if possible.

Hi everyone, I in korea now and looking for a new phone. SKTelecom have HTC Desire, but i wonder if:
1)Can i flash custom roms on it, saving compability with SKTelecom (SKT doesnt use IMEI, also have sim-lock)
2)And most important, if it can be used in China with other carrier. (Be unlocked from SKT and hardware compatible with standard WCDMA2100, China Unicom)
After a lot of investigating in another thread we found the Korean HTC desires without IMEIs infact do, but they are not on the label and hidden in rom. It is accessible by going to the debug menu ( forgot it, hopefully another helpful member van provide it)
Regarding custom Roms, I think it should be possible to flash a custom Rom on that phone as long as you use unrevoked or the gold cars methods.
I expect you can and would need to to unlock (if they can get rid of all parts of the Rom that deal with imei they can get rid of the parts needed for unlocking.(HTC desire's in the UK on Orange have a quirk where you are unable to unlock until you install a custom or debranded Rom.))

Thank you!
Well, another question: Is it possible to make 100% dump of SKT rom and flash it back? (Guarantee issues)
I did that with my HTC sensation 4g - after unlocking the bootloader I'm using it in Israel - Orange.
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader in the Defy as well?
No bootloader currently locked. But you can use t-mo Defy on other carriers you just have to unlock the sim. Better yet, buy a Defy plus as it is avail unlocked and with some choices of frequencies.
Unlocking the bootloader doesn't have anything to do with SIM unlock, and didn't help you at all. SIM unlock did. And most likely your bought your Sensation SIM-unlocked.
There is soft-SIM-unlock for Defy+, the guide is right next to your thread. Doesn't always work.
The bootloader can't be unlocked = custom ROMs run on stock kernels (unlike Sensation).
Thanks for the answers
All I need is Hebrew support and SIM unlock, I don't mind staying with the stock kernel.
T-Mobiles Defy can be found for about 150$ on eBay - half the price of the Defy+
Hebrew support you can install on any deodexed ROM - my father is running MS2Ginger with Russian pack that I modified to fit, and Hebrew framework patch.
If you're into CM7 (using Nexus One for a year made me dislike AOSP and CM) - it has the support built-in. MIUI also needs a patch, a different one.
Hebrew patch can be found on iAndroid, here.

Can anyone point me towards a VERY simple guide to installing generic firmware on my HTC One M(9). I would prefer not to root, but could use RUU
Please use simple language and be patient. I'm new to HTC but have de-branded Samsungs with Odin and the equivalent on Sony
Thanks

So when you say de-brand, you're looking to remove carrier bloat? What is your carrier?
So, the short answer is...to debrand (which in HTC One M9 terms means to convert to developer edition), you're going to have to:
1) Have GSM carrier
2) Unlock your phone and install TWRP custom recovery
3) Root (this is only temporary, when you flash developer rom you'll no longer be rooted)
4) Use the sunshine app to s-off (security off) your phone - this will allow you to...
5) Change your model id (MID) and carrier id (CID)
6) flash developer edition rom
here is a good guide

Remember, you need to be GSM (no sprint, no verizon)
Thanks for that, I'm on a UK GSM carrier (VodaFone). Will the developer edition be compatible with UK networks?

Then it's better you use one of the x.xx.401.xx firmwares from the link in my signature. Those are the international WWE (World Wide English) versions unbranded European M9s get shipped with. Nevertheless the DE (Developer Edition) RUUs would be compatible with your phone, too.
Hello, I am soon to be new to the one plus scene, and had a few questions.
I got the factory unlocked 7t and plan on using it on tmobile. Am I going to have rcs messaging? Will it be limited in any way? Also I have read that you can flash to international from tmobile but can you go the other way? And final question going either way does it require root or anything or because they are stock images they work fine?
From what I can tell from where I purchased it says HD1907 which is the tmobile variant(or should be?) Listing and reviews say confirm getting the HD1907, and its factory unlocked without branding. Can it be branded? And I should be fine and able to go to international/de-brand if I decide to later?
Welcome to the OnePlus 7T, it's a great phone!
I suggest reading through this guide to flash from T-Mobile to Global: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/guide-t-mobile-brand-conversion-to-t4019495
It will walk you through the entire process of flashing your phone and (if needed) rooting it as well.
Personally, I'm a big fan of the All-in-One Tool found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t4103515
It does just about everything you could need in terms of flashing, rooting, returning to stock, etc.
No matter which guide you choose, both forums are very active and should be able to help you if you run into any issues.
In regards to the RCS messaging, you should be fine but don't hold me to that. I typically use Google Voice but I know that Google Messages supports RCS on T-Mobile.

First thanks for the quick response, as a past dev im familiar with xda and have been looking through the 7t section including those and im starting to getting familiar. Thanks for the recommend!
I suppose the question I still don't get is the listing is for a tmobile unbranded so does that mean its on global or not? is it on us, not global, but just not branded but other wise 99% similar to branded just lacks carrier apps? Is there a step in between carrier branded and global? Does tmobile varient + unbranded just means it has the straight from OP firmware? If thats the case does that mean it can accept the tmobile branded firmware? I know everyone is like go global it seems but just for the sake of understanding I want to know since its tmobile varient hardware can it go back from OP updates(if thats what its on) to tmobile? and still be bootloader locked?
seems like there is several steps
carrier branded > carrier unbranded(straight from OP?) > global
However the update on OP's site doesn't list a different global download? How do global users get the update? or am i missing that theres a us site section and a non us site section?
There are a few definite ways to find out:
Model Number: the T-Mobile version is HD1907. I have the International version (HD1905) which has dual sim slots (the T-Mobile version only has 1 sim slot available)
Is there a T-Mobile splash-screen
Are there any T-Mobile (pre-installed) apps
If you have the T-Mobile version, it will never have the original OP software unless you flash the International ROM.
It sounds to me like it's a T-Mobile version (HD1907) that's been unlocked and (probably) flashed to the International (global) ROM (which will get you the official OnePlus software as it comes without the T-Mobile carrier bloat, which is really pretty minimal. I think it was 2 apps when I had the T-Mobile OnePlus 6T).
If you decide to re-lock the bootloader, I'm almost 100% sure that you must be back on the original software that the phone shipped with. So if it's a T-Mobile version, you must flash the T-Mobile ROM before you re-lock the bootloader.
No matter which software you have, it's really pretty easy to go from one to the other, especially with the All-in-One tool.
Personally, I prefer the International ROM (or their Beta Channel) because of faster security updates.

There are essentially 3 ROMs direct from OnePlus that you could flash (aside from the T-Mobile version)
HD65AA Global (which is one I would recommend)
HD65AA India
HD65BA Europe

So as long as it is infact a HD1907 I can use the builds here to go back to this models stock and then bootloader lock? would this be the best way to do so?
Edit: so the about info says HD1907 it didn't say tmobile when i started it the sim tray hold 1 sim. (just arrived) so I should be able to put it back on tmobile branded and lock the bootloader yes? I didn't actually confirm that its bootloader unlocked but im assuming since about info says its tmobile but appears to not be tmobile branded.(unlocked bootloader is only way that could all be true) The packaging was all completely sealed which is why im just a bit confused still as how it can be a tmobile variant but not be tmobile branded but also not modified outside of the factory?
so it looks like its 10.0.10.HD65AA rom, model HD1907, device state locked. so to go back to tmobile stock would I have to unlock? then do something like in this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/op7t-t-mobile-unbrick-tool-to-restore-t4004005 ?

Glad to hear it went well. Aside from a more recent security update, I don't know if you'll see any difference between the T-Mobile ROM and the International (global) ROM so enjoy it.
I know some folks wish there was more development for the OP7T but it's really pretty solid. Oxygen OS is smooth and Android 11 should be available for it by the end of the year. That being said, I'd love to see how the Paranoid Android ROM runs on this device! Hopefully that'll come soon.

Good evening everyone I just purchased a T-Mobile version of the OnePlus 9 pro off Amazon and was wondering what would be the quickest and safest way to convert it to the global version in terms of updates and custom ROM. I also like to keep the ability to use Google pay
Thank you in advance for any assistance
