Has anyone had any luck rooting the T-Mobile version of the OnePlus 9 pro, and if so how did you go about it?
I have not, have you considered reaching out to anyone that sells this service on ebay? Or, possibly buying a rooted version of this phone off Ebay?

I already know how to unlock the bootloader. I just know that on some TMobile variants of OnePlus devices, like the OnePlus 8 you have to go through a bunch of extra **** to be able to unlock the bootloader, but if you have the boot file that is prepatched with magisk you can just flash that as long as it is the same version. Does anyone know if you have to have the sim unlocked in order to unlock the bootloader like you do with the op8? Or can you just enable OEM unlock and then adb to unlock the bootloader?
Here is a guide for unlocking the bootloader on TMO OP9P.
T-Mobile OnePlus 9 Pro Bootloader Unlock
1ST WARNING: BACKUP YOUR DEVICE, WHETHER TO GOOGLE, AND/OR YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE USING THE ONEPLUS BACKUP APP WHICH I WILL LINK BELOW AND COPY THE BACKUP TO YOUR COMPUTER (I WOULD SUGGEST DOING BOTH BACKUP TYPES) Clone Phone App...

As for rooting, it is rather simple once the bootloader is unlocked..
You may know certain things, but I do not have a clue as to what you already know. Therefore I take it step by step to help you achieve what you are wanting to do!
I am working on the rooting instructions as of now and will post them for you complete with links! Be patient.
Rooting the OnePlus 9 Pro
1) Unlock the bootloader using the guide from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-unlock-the-t-mobile-bootloader.4256319/
2) Make sure you have the latest platform-tools installed on computer from here
https://technastic.com/android-sdk-platform-tools-download/
3) Download the latest TWRP img and rename it twrp.img from here and save it in your platform-tools folder
https://dl.twrp.me/lemonadep/twrp-3.7.0_11-0-lemonadep.img
4) Download Magisk apk file from here and save it to your platform-tools folder
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v25.2/Magisk-v25.2.apk
5) Click on the address bar of windows explorer and type "cmd" to open a command windows
6) With phone connected to PC, copy the magisk app to internal storage and then type "adb reboot bootloader" and hit enter
7) Once in bootloader mode, type "fastboot boot twrp.img" enter
8) once twrp loads, tap install and select the magisk app and install it then reboot to system
9) once OS has loaded, go into app drawer and tap on Magisk (looks like a green android icon) and follow the prompts,
10) Reboot and enjoy a rooted phone but not completely rooted!
11) Download the RO2RW script from here
https://mega.nz/file/HcxQiaLD#P17H3LsvUc4Y5S9mG3jTqHmoMvuyImYKvigX20VZ7xU
12) Follow instructions from this link

I wanted to confirm that you don't need sim unlock to unlock bootloader. You can enable oem toggle with adb or one+tool and unlock bootloader and root. I did need to submit my token and wait a week. There have been recent reports of the unlock bin sent back from OnePlus automatically isn't right and people are reaching out to support to get the right bin back.
I submitted my token, flashed to EU, unlocked bootloader without token, rooted. Then when my token arrived a week later, I went back to stock Tmo rom, unlocked with token, and rooted.
(I monitored the requests for sim unlock to see if I could find anything useful. I monitored failures and successful unlock packets and then went back to EU rom)

I meant to quote you in my above post. Sorry
termux proot-distro can root as well but android kernel not rooted
you sure can root Tmo stock rom. the numbers may be differet but the iteration of firmware is the same on all variants. Its been a while,but, my first OP9P i flashed whatever. Just use the boot.img from AA or EU but be careful. It has to match. Example: Tmo 11.2.4.4 compatible boot.img with 11.2.8.8 AA/EU/NA. And so on.
For me, I'm lost with the newer firmwares and just got back. Will be converting cause Tmo wont sim unlock my paid off phone. Sick of Tmobile at this point

** fastboot flash boot magisk-patched_boot.img **
The instructions are already on XDA. Just Search for them
I seem to be having a horrible time rooting my 7T (purchased directly from OnePlus). I've been able to unlock bootloader, and patch an img file via Magisk.
However, the results are either getting the Qualcomm crashdump--or successfully rooting, but breaks the wifi. (Haven't tried inserting the SIM Card yet.)
Already had to use MSM tool a couple of times.
Is there a definitive guide with build versions?

Same.
Did you ever figure it out?
I just install twrp 3.5.10 or Chinese twrp, and flash Magisk.zip (rename magisk.apk to magisk.zip) on top of OOS11
Which root method did you use?
One of these...
Or this
longer, slightly more involved one?
Make sure the new version matches the version already one the phone

Hello guys,
As always, I am here with a new share. I am sharing with you the deep testing app for Android 10 RM5 pro. I got to fastboot with this app. Next to unlock....[Update: UNLOCKED & Rooted]
Go on try it out.
The sweet guy who shared this video and app.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFuuZSh6C-I
The apk link here:
https://www.youtube.com/redirect?re...vPDNolgt_uV4AaABAg&q=http://shorturl.at/acuT5
Note: I had already selected OEM unlock in my RM5P since long, so I just installed this apk and opened and selected
QUERY VERIFICATION STATUS (right top corner). It showed Review Successful. Select START IN-DEPTH TEST.
You go straight to fastboot..
Enjoy LOCKDOWN safe in your home.
Thank you for reading.

Officially no, but for me and several others it still worked, even with an EU phone.
I had to upgrade to Android 10 and then follow the steps described here:
https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1244566811094024192?language=en-US
Btw., it's better to stick to the official post from realme I linked above, apps and links on youtube could be malicious.
I am using RM5P Indian version. The youtube link is safe. I didn't find any issues.
More than that, this apk was already listed in xda by faisalxp. I realized that late.

Yes, that's exactly what I was on before unlocking and rooting (INDIAN version).
Install adb and fastboot drivers in PC.
Good practice is to put all the necessary files in the C:/adb folder for installing twrp recovery.
Backup your data/pictures/notes etc first to pc.
Enable OEM unlock in Developer options. Enable USB debugging.
Install deep test apk and follow the instructions and get into FASTBOOT.
In fastboot type: fastboot flashing unlock and enter, and then unlock.

Yes, you can use the app prompt "Apply to exit in-depth test". It will reboot to Fastboot where you need to type the command to lock.
Fastboot help - will give you all the commands available.
Commands available:
locking/unlocking:
Fastboot flashing lock|unlock Lock/unlock partitions for flashing
I suggest you research a bit more. Phone might get bricked. Do it at your own risk.
You should not be on TWRP, go back to official recovery.
If you have rooted, UNROOT first and do the rest.

Actually when i press that button it shows this "You can only apply to exit in-depth test after carrying out bootloader lock operation in fastboot mode".
so I went into fastboot mode and used the command fastboot flashing lock it wiped my data and rebooted to welcome screen (language region setup)
Should I now use the app to "Apply to exit in-depth test"? or don't use the app?
Does anyone know a way to unlock the bootloader of Oneplus 7t without asking for an unlock code from T-mobile? I was able to get it network unlocked however never rooted it. Even on my oneplus 5t which I'm trying to root(got bootloader unlocked) I can't root because it says "waiting for device" when trying to flash the twrp.img file and that phone is a global variant. It seems like I'm having issues with both for "waiting for any device" through adb.

Was msm working before? If never worked prior then you need Qualcomm 9008 drivers
Your phone must be completely off to enter msm or edl mode: holding vol+ and vol- together while plugging in usbC--msm program must be running with admin privileges before plugging in your usbC. Once sound is made in win10, then click start

This is best for HD1907 to unbrick
Hi, I have a oneplus 7T that belongs to T-MOBILE, I decided to make it global, after doing the process I made the mistake of blocking the bootloader after that the terminal does not pass the error "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot ", I can only enter the fastboot mode, I have tried to enter the EDL mode to do the process again through the MSM through the adb commands and through a deep flash cable and np I have been lucky.
I have also tried to unlock the bootloader but it does not allow me, because it gives me an error related to that I have to enable unlocking through the android developer.
The pc only recognizes the terminal as "Android Bootloader Interface".
So if you can acces the fastboot mode have you tried flashing a oos10/11 fastboot rom ?

Never relock bootloader as easy to hard brick. Try to set up msmtool on another pc and good usb-C cable. Also u should move this post to Q-A
Hi
I had is same problem, and is very easy to solve.
You only have use the method for which to use for covert the device in global versión, but only
you must do the steps until the equipment is unlocked, and then instead of continuing with the procedure, what you must do is flash a stock firmware that corresponds to the region of your mobile.
It's all a matter of taking the procedure to the point where it allows it to be flashed through fastboot

It is not necessary to use the TMobile rom, you just have to get to the point where the phone is unlocked with the command "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" and then jump to steps 7 and 8 of the guide referenced in the link I shared.

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

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.

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.

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/

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!
