xt1609 Stock Rom/Files Request

I need to flash (from bootloader, which is locked) the original xt1609 Verizon rom. The only place that has a copy that I have found is FileFactory, and that download currently says that it will take over 7 hours for a 1.2gb file.
Does anyone else have a copy of it? Thanks!
Edit: 7 hours indeed, but I have the files. If anyone is interested in it post a comment and I'll upload.

Just saw your post.
Wish I had seen it earlier.
If you ever need to download the firmware for the xt1609 you can use the following link. They have all the moto firmwares. I just downloaded the stock xt1609 firmware from my phone in less than 10 minutes.

RIP me I guess. Thanks for this. Covers more than just Moto as well which is nice. I'll probably be using this more often.

You can put a GSM SIM in but it will only get LTE bands 2, 4 and 5. You won't be able to get bands 12 or 17 (primary T-Mobile and AT&T LTE bands). You also won't get any 2G or 3G GSM signals so cellular talk and text won't work.

thank you. Could you provide me with the adb command to flash xt1609. there are tutorials for flashing non-Verizon variants but not for xt1609

Not sure if there is a Verizon-variant tutorial for theG4 play but you should be able to use any generic G4 play tutorial for flashing firmware. I would assume that if any adb command did not pertain to your specific variant, that particular command would return a fail error but would not stop the rest of the adb commands from being successfully performed so you should be able to flash the firmware successfully.
Or you could just simply use only the adb commands that pertain to your firmware file and leave the rest out.

There are some more files to flash on xt1609, unfortunately they are not mentioned in any of the available tutorials.

Then you just use the command "fastboot flash" and flash each file in the xt1609 firmware by name separately.

To avoid any potential problems, I would flash the firmware files in the sequence they are listed in.
If you have already started flashing and did not flash in the sequential order the files are listed in, you can start over from the beginning (DO NOT reboot your phone) while still in fastboot mode and just flash the first file listed, then the second file, and so on. This will correct any mistake you may have made.
Once you have successfully flashed all the firmware files
just fastboot command "fastboot reboot" and you should be good to go.

Okay, I'll do as you recommend. Do you think it's possible to get the radio of xt1907? I saw someone had flashed the radio from xt1907 on xt1609 and managed to get both voice and data.

I'm not from the US, in order to activate voice call, the phone need to be used in Verizon network for at least 30days. that's why I'm doing all these things.

Device unlock app tmobile?

I need to get the device unlocked app working on the converted TMobile version. The app will not load and crash.

You'll have to revert to the TMO Rom in order to use the TMO unlock app. It won't run on the international version.

Have you tried the sun unlock guide? Got lucky and worked on mine when the app wouldn't unlock my phone.

You can do either revert back or use the guide on here to sim unlock but no easy task since either or you gotta put in the work.

T-Mobile 9.0.16 to custom Android 10 ROM?

Just got my 6T today and it updated, but since this is the T-Mobile variant, it is still on Android 9. OOS version is 9.0.16. I want to flash a custom Android 10 ROM but cannot figure out where to go from here.

Then just follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/guide-sim-bootloader-unlock-root-t3921795
This will show you what you need to do to unlock the bootloader and also the sim if you haven't unlocked that.
from 9.011 you can upgrade to 9.0.17 and then 10.0.3

I actually did all that a few days ago, but I'm now having connection issues. The mobile signal drops quite often and when it reconnects it's never on LTE, it's always H+ or E. It stays like that until I reboot.

Are you sure it was on a McLaren 5G? It sounds unlikely that it's been successfully done. Could you link to that post?

Yeah, sadly that device model indicates a different one than ours.. oh well

You would have to convert your device to Global similar to how it was done with the 7 Pro first. Then you should apply the beta 2. You will need MSM tool and the ops file for global model HD1917 (it is linked in another thread). You do not need to have bootloader unlocked to do this process. Warning: You might lose 5G capability by doing this. I have not tested it yet because we are only at beta 2. When we get to beta 7 or 8 then I might consider it.

I do not know. There is no thread about converting so I would guess nobody wants to try. Sorry. I gave you instructions how to do it if you wish to try yourself.
Are you advanced enough to convert back and forth using the MSM tool? Have you used it on any oneplus phone before? It is basically like ODIN for Samsung. Flashes factory images.
If you want step by step instructions , message me.

I think i am i have used it before on my op3 and 6,6t, but I'll wait a little more maybe something comes up..
Thanks though

New security features implemented by OnePlus makes it not possible to convert the new phones. Currently there is no way to get around this new security feature until an exploit can be found. I have read opinions that suggest OnePlus is doing this to force people to buy directly from them. Either way it is sad!

This phone was already difficult to work with and now this.

Clarification question regarding rebranding a tmo 6t.

I've had my 6t for a while now. When I got it I followed this guide, https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-flash-twrp-root-nandroid-efs-backup.3851789/ , and all was good until I tried to update. Everything continued to work but it broke root. ( I later learned I shouldn't have tried to run the OTA.)
Anyway. I'd like to get rid of the T-MO branded ROM. I just need some clarification. I'm on 10.3.4 currently. SIM and bootloader are unlocked. TWRP 3.4.0.0 is installed. So that being said do I have to follow the MSMDownload guide and convert to international, then go about updating to current, or can I just grab the most recent oxygen or lineage release and flash that ( preferably OxygenOS)? I assume that since my bootloader is already unlocked I can just flash from TWRP, but I've seen conflicting comments. From what I can tell I have flash everything to both slots, is that correct? Do I need to upgrade TWRP? Finally re-flash Magisk for root.
My end goal is just a non T-MO branded OxygenOS that I can update. From what I've seen I can do local upgrade once running OxygenOS. Is there a specific process for upgrading oxygenos once its running. I've seen you have to remove Magisk modules etc before running it.
Thanks!

You pretty much got everything down as you said. Convert, Update to current, and you are golden. If you want to try LOS then that is in a completely different ballpark.

@j1tters Here's how I converted my T-Mobile 6t to global. Hope this helps.

Thanks, that post was helpful. Was smooth sailing until trying to get it to boot into twrp via fastboot. Reboots and just sits at the fastboot screen. Not sure if there is an issue with twrp-3.4.0-11 for fajita. Tried 3.4.0.0 also. Same issue.
Going to try updating with Oxygen Updater then see if its happier with twrp..
Is there a specific version of TWRP I need to get it to boot?

Got twrp taken care of but I'm a bit confused by magjisk v22. Looks like flashing from recovery isnt the preferred way anymore?

Rename the magisk22.apk to magisk.22.zip and yes it can then be flashed in twrp.
