Hi all. I'm thinking about purchasing a oneplus 9 pro, via tmobile. I know traditionally speaking you have to pay off your phone to network unlock, and then request an unlock token from oneplus to be able to root the device. I havent snooped around the forums here much for this device. Is there currently a way to root the phone without having to do all the pre-req crap normally required. Is there a way to unlock bootloader like there was with oneplus 7T via MSM tool or similar? I don't perticularly care about SIM unlock, just bootloader. Thanks!
Hi, you have to sim unlock inorder to bootloader unlock
Here's a lot of info for starters:

OnePlus phones are easy to root as compared to a few other brands. And since there is a flash tool available for OnePlus phones, you can take risks for rooting your phone. You can use the flash tool to fix your phone in case of any issue. Rooting is not an easy task, but Magisk app makes it easier if you follow the correct steps. But you cannot directly root your phone by default. So first we will share how to unlock bootloader of OnePlus 9 (Pro).

If all you want to do is root/ROM your phone, then you don't need to "unlock your phone". You just need to "unlock your bootloader" which is something different and not hard.
My phone is still SIM-locked but I have rooted it and installed Havoc OS ROM.
To unlock the bootloader, this app should do the trick.

So when I run the unlock bootloader option it just says waiting for device.
What am I missing?
Thank you
Did you reboot your phone to bootloader?
I believe I'm missing the appropriate drivers on my PC. Got stuck on 'waiting for device' ..

Okay, so I recently bought OnePlus 7T and I bought it used and it is carrier unlocked, when I go to my SIM & Network settings, I can see that Network Unlock is greyed out and it says "This device is network unlocked" and I can also see OEM unlock in Developer Options
I have seen some tutorials here that rebrand your T-Mobile OOS to Global one but I don't want to do that (Unless its necessary), I just want to Root it to install Magisk and just use mostly to change the font honestly, I love Product Sans alot
Question is, do I have to go through long processes to unlock the Bootloader even though mine is carrier unlocked (the methods in tutorials) or is it a straight forward thing like almost all the other OnePlus global ver devices I used before?

I'm not sure if you'll see this question....but suddenly! I have a oneplus version 7t from t-mobile and an unlocked bootloader. I don't have a Windows computer, only with Ubuntu. Can I get root access in some way? I can’t convert because I already have Android 11, the newest firmware is 11.0.1.11 HD63CB

Hi, were you able to root your OnePlus 7T T-Mobile without converting it to a global variant?
The title probably isn't chest, but I purchased what was supposed to be the HD1905 off of eBay. Well I got sent a HD1907. It appears that is already the global firmware (I think) on it so I'm guessing they did the conversion without bootloader unlocking to pass it off as the unlocked version.
Anyways does it appear in correct and I can start flashing the hotdogb ROMs after I get my unlock code from OnePlus to unlock this bootloader? I have been away from Android for a long time and returned to Samsung so it's basically locked down too. Honestly I'm much happier with the OnePlus I just hate this theme they did in their new os so want to try some more AOSP style
If your bootloader is unlocked, you should have the warning boot splash screen saying this device is unsecure. If so, u don't need OnePlus unlock code. You should get into bootloader mode which will also say "unlocked" on the last line in red.

This is how to truly convert hd1907 from BL locked, sim-locked, T-Mobile to unlocked Global or International
Thanks guys. No the bootloader is still locked which is why I have requested the code from OnePlus. Figured I'd do it correctly which will also give my note 20 time to return in case I screw up . I guess to be safe I'll do the conversion myself and then flash a ROM. Now to decide which one I want to try first
Or i guess thank you HueyT I didn't even notice you were the only response

Hello everyone! I have a Oneplus 7T (HD1907- The T-Mobile Variant) and I want to install Pixel Experience on it. I have heard that there are troubles because of it being that specific model. Could you list me the exact steps I should take to install it on my phone? I'd also like to make a current backup of the software I'm running currently. (11.0.1.2.HD63CB). I have not unlocked the bootloader, installed recoveries and neither rooted the phone. Please guide me correctly. Thank you!

Hello.
Forgive me if I am in the wrong thread.
I have the OP 9 5G Pro.
Software Version 11.2.7.7. LE5ACB
Sim is locked to T-Mobile.
OEM unlocking is enabled (using an ADB command found on an XDA OP9 forum).
But...
This is a Sprint device on T-Mobile network.
Questions:
1. Is my OEM Unlock truly unlocked? How do I check?
2. If so, can I follow the same bootloader unlock procedure as TMO/EU variants to obtain root?
3. Should I update to latest OOS before attemptng bootloader unlock?
Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Thank You.

You are in the correct forum. This forum is for OnePlus 9 Pro models of any kind (T-Mobile, Global, EU, China, India).
You have multiple options for rooting this device. I will list them out.
1. Follow the guide for applying for a token unlock here (will wipe data): https://www.oneplus.com/support/answer/detail/op588
2. Use TMO to EU MSM here (also will wipe data): https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...lock-bin-needed.4272837/page-19#post-86828151
Make sure to download this MSM in case something goes wrong: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/op9pro-repository-of-msm-unbrick-tools-tmo-eu-glo-in.4272549/

1. If you're able to check the OEM Unlock option, then it definitely does work. If you're unsure, the requirement for being able to check that option is to have your SIM permanently unlocked. Also, when you boot to fastboot, when you type "fastboot flashing unlock", it should say it needs a token instead of needing OEM unlocked to be checked first.
2. Yes, you must follow the instructions for TMO variant of the phone because that's what you have. If you go with the second option, you can unlock like the EU variant without an unlock token, i.e. by typing "fastboot flashing unlock" and selecting "unlock the bootloader".
3. You don't need to update OOS before bootloader unlocking, however, your recovery WILL WIPE DATA! If your data is needed, let me know and I can provide backup instructions. Generally though, you can download your MSM or the EU conversion one, start the program, press F8, enter password "oneplus", and select the partitions to backup. Then press OK and press the readback button to backup your data.
One more thing to note. There's a fifty-fifty chance you may lose access to your DRM keys. If this happens, use the EU conversion MSM, unlock the bootloader straight away without updating the phone, then take a FULL system update, not the small 400-500 MB ones. That should fix your Widevine level back to L1. You only need this if you care about Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, or something along those lines.

I am grateful for your help. I've been out of the rooting game for a while, and may be leaning on you heavily until everything falls into place.
Again, I appreciate you bro!
Hi.
So I just bought a T-Mobile 9 pro online and I go to unlock the bootloader, and it won't let me ! I've tried the ADB command and it gave me an error saying it's not allowed. Then I turned the phone off and tried the button sequence to get into it. But there is no advanced option from recovery to boot into fastboot.
Just so you know. I'm trying to convert it to international ROM as I have done before with my other OnePlus phones.
Is this a common thing with T-Mobile ?
And how can I get the bootloader unlocked ?
Thanks
Oem unlock and usb debuging enabled in dev settings ?

If you don't have your unlock token from T-Mobile, you will need to use the Tmo->Eu MSM conversion tool to convert to EU. Then unlock bootloader there and go on to global or stay on Eu. If you stay on oos11 or 12, flash nonhlos modem back in.
You should back up modemst1/2 and persist/efs to be safe
