Here is about all I can find from someone reliable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68150390&postcount=866
--To me this says - it should be fine to flash the full US Unlocked RUU/firmware, which is x.xx.617.x, I think the latest is 1.91.617.1
I personally have flashed the pmic-8996-1.img from multiple firmwares including, International, US Unlocked, and Tmobile testing out WiFi drain. So, some bits are ok, but the aboot.img (bootloader) contains the partition, so anything other than VZW or the US Unlocked could result in a brick.
Until someone takes the plunge and reports back, or unless their are people out there whom have done this but not seen the posts asking the question. So hopefully if they are out there they will see this thread and comment.

Reviving this to ask a related question:
Can I safely flash the latest U.S Unlocked radio to my VZW 10 which has the latest VZW firmware?
If you flash the unlocked radio you will most likely lose all your verizon features such as volte and so on I would not if you use verizon services. For what purpose would you want to may I ask ? If you want to run your Verizon version on At&t or Tmobile there are threads on both I believe, but you should have support for other carriers already I believe as I think you will just get a non Verizon sim message is all but AndyBones can direct you on how to remove that nag.

I'm not actually using the phone on Verizon network, I bought it second hand and using it on Rogers network in Canada. Everything runs fine including LTE, but reception is weaker than on my M7 (purchased from Rogers) hence my wanting to try the U.S Unlocked radios to see if things improve. Similarly voice call quality is not that great though it has improved with the 1.82 firmware upgrade.
I don't mind testing out the radio myself, just need some assurance about being able to without bricking the device due to firmware mismatch or other incompatibilities. As pointed out in this thread very little information exists out there from people who have unbranded their VZW 10s or flashed non-VZW radios.
Have you tried running the latest RUU for the Verizon HTC 10 ? This may fix your issue if you have not already. Also I think on another thread Dottat posted a method to reset your bands of some some if you look on his thread for being able to use the unlocked 10 on Verizon he has it posted on there I believe. Resetting the bands or modem has worked for some people with issues with signal.

I'm not having an "issue" per se, I just want to see if I can get improved reception with a new radio, so I don't think an RUU flash would change much (I have already reset my modem for a separate issue).
Thanks for your help, I'm hoping that andybones or another dev can answer my question about being able to flash a non-vzw radio safely.

Is Rogers a CDMA based carrier (I legit don't know). You may need to do an entire us unlocked swap, not sure if anybody has tried that yet with a vzw phone.
No Rogers is a GSM network but my VZW 10 works fine on it.
If by debranding you mean to convert it to US Unlocked version, then Straightforward answer: Yes. You don't need to read further if all you needed was a yes or no, but I felt I should post what I did to convert it to US unlocked from Verizon for others who might need help.
Verizon 4G LTE devices are already unlocked. So, just to be sure, I S-OFFed my device first via sunshine. While S-OFFing, I chose the option of S-OFF with locked bootloader. Then I changed the CID to BS_US001. Didn't have to change the MID as it was the same as US unlocked version, i.e. 2PS650000. Flashed latest TWRP (for nand backup just in case). Flashed US unlocked RUU 1.8X.617.X. Successfully updated to 1.96.617.2 via OTA.
One thing that I immediately noted after converting to US Unlocked version was that the option of OEM Unlocking which was previously not present in the Verizon version became available in the Developer Options. Hope it helped.

Hi GrimJoke,
Thanks your post! Since I last posted here I've managed to do exactly as you described and ran the Unlocked RUU, updated to 1.96. Now running stock ROM and everything works great, and in fact the phone runs better than it did on vzw software.
I've noticed the same regarding OEM Unlocking. I read from Captain Throwback here that we should now be able to unlock the bootloader with htcdev and with superCID 22222222. I won't try since it's pointless for me.

how about from Verizon to complete wwe using wwe radios for international gsm network?
does volte work with tmo, att etc after gsm?
I looked before posting but did not see the answer to this so....I have the TMobile one plus 6T sim unlocked but bootloader is still locked down (for now) is there a way without unlocking the bootloader to install the OTA's that are downloadable from the OnePlus website?

Those would be international/unlocked 6T Noms and are not compatible.
So the only way to get the updates as they are available is to unlock the bootloader and flash the international rom?

Yes. I did and I have the T-Mobile 6T. Just use the fastboot version to convert and then update to 9.0.7. But please read all the directions thoroughly, so you don't make a mistake. PM me if you need help.
So I've been out of the game for a while when it comes to converting and custom things. Right now I am on OoS 10.3.4 and was wondering if I could backtrack to the international version or could I just jump over? I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure it out. Lol. Also, I haven't seen anything on unlocking the bootloader if already on OoS 10.3.4. I'm coming from Samsung devices, so don't roast me too bad guys. Lol. Thanks in advance for the help and stay lifted my friends.

You definitely don't want to ever downgrade unless it's using this msm tool. This is actually how I unlocked my bootloader on my T-Mobile 6t. By following directions on thread I'm linking here I was able to covert my device from T-Mobile model to an international model. Afterwards I then updated to latest OOS 10.3.4 full international rom... Careful because TMobile released a 10.3.4 OOS as well from what I've read on here. But running that patched tool converted me then I just did a simple fastboot oem unlock and selected to unlock my bootloader. Ill link firmware thread for international 6t here too. Will grab link after I make this comment and return and add it here in same post.
The msm tool allows you to downgrade but as far as I know trying to downgrade any other way will result in a brick,,which this same tool is also used to unbrick..

Flashable OOS firmware: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/oneplus-6t-global-repo-oxygen-os-builds-t3865396
I'm not sure as to if you can flash over. I wouldn't try it. I would follow first link I posted here and all will be smooth.
You can try some wild **** but I wouldn't if I were you. Far as bootloader unlock goes if your device is TMobile you must request an unlock code from T-Mobile and it takes 7 days. Then use code to unlock bootloader...If you covert you can just do fastboot oem unlock and your unlocked and then you can upgrade to whatever international version of OOS you want to be on and your good. Once you follow that thread I linked for converting you will then be on some ancient OOS international firmware and because your no longer TMobile model after running the patched tool from conversion thread no need for stupid code from T-Mobile to unlock your bootloader... Since your international model 6t now you can just do simple: sudo fastboot oem unlock and select yes on device and your then bootloader unlocked. If you want to stay on T-Mobile OOS 10.3.4 you can unlock bootloader just have to get code from T-Mobile and wait a week then use code to unlock your bootloader..
Request TMobile unlock bootloader code:
https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t-unlock-bootloader-root/
To bypass having to get code from T-Mobile and wait a week , converting to international 6t makes that happen for you..
(Edited)
@lunerceli
No worries, I have an OP 6T TMobile running 10.3.4 OOS and I just rooted/unlocked bootloader yesterday. As others have said, if you want to stay on 10.3.4 you do need to get the unlock code from TMobile, they'll email you a .bin file then you can go into ADB and flash it to unlock bootloader. The whole thing took 2 minutes once I had the unlock code. From there you can go about rooting it normally, flash TWRP/Magisk, custom ROM etc.
I had also thought about using the msm tool to downgrade to 9 and convert to international but I was scared about going to a lower version (didn't know if that would cause a brick) so I just waited the week for the unlock code.
So, I have an OP6 that I've been using since launch with no issues. Got m to wife an unlocked tmobile 6t. After waiting a week for the unlock token, a definite reason I avoid branded phones, I unlocked the bootloader and rooted. Updated to 10.3.7 latest from tmobile. It has root, passes safety net, but keeps giving me compatibility errors when trying to flash certain mods. Twrp bluspark won't flash, haven't been able to flash any kernels. I'm able to do some magisk modules and have the official twrp. Any suggestions would be great, as I can't figure out what's going on.
I got that trash tmobel version off I flash the rebranded stock rom. Messed around with that then flashed linage 17.1

So, we can just flash the OnePlus OOS with no issue? I have looked at the tutorial to make it global but saw someone on reddit say they had just flashed the OOS direct from OP.

There is a tutorial with a special msm tool that converts t-mobile model to a global /international model. I have a T-Mobile OnePlus 6t and I converted to global model from tutorial over in guides section of the forums a year ago. I've never had any issues at all. I've flashed hundreds of times and used everything known to mankind made for my device and all has been fine. Check out the convert T-Mobile to global international model thread in guides section. I wouldn't flash a global oos on T-Mobile model. The tool that converts t-mobile to global model has modifications where it bypasses certain checks and whatnot or it wouldn't be possible

I don't use that so I have no clue.
Guys,
I have read the whole forum and my understanding is:
My phone is Model HD1925, purchased in B&H.
- there was no option to flash international / stock non t-mobile firmware in 2021 at least. Is it possible to do now?
- if flash international/non t-mobile firmware/rom is not possible, is it a way or need top get rid off from T-Mobile soft ?
- is it another custom ROM which can be installed?
There are several sites, I have found which provide an instructions to flash international firmware, but this is really opposite to xda forum and makes me suspicious.
The phone will be given to a kid, so I prefer to clean it up from unneeded SW and also keep it up to date due to security reasons.
I'm not living in USA and not care about 5G.
The phone is SIM unlocked and bootloader unlocked using OnePlus .bin file.
Current version is 11, April 1, 2022 Update.
Really appreciate your help.
Hey, there. I'm sorry to tell you that you can't do that, because the hardware of 1+7tpro International Edition is very different from that of McLaren special edition. Before your release, I have tried to use the 9008 after-sales firmware of Chinese Version (hd1910) to brush into this phone, but unfortunately, this phone can't work, and even entered Qualcomm's crash mode. My suggestion is to use ADB to freeze all programs related to T-Mobile, so, You can enjoy 5g and later OTA updates.
