Notified I have an update to Android 10 - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

So, I have a T-Mobile branded 6t. I was running Havoc OS 2.9 Pie. My device is full unlocked(bootloader AND sim). I decided I wanted to wipe everything and msm back to stock then go to OOS and then back to Havoc 2.9 Pie. I've done this so many times its easy lol. But the weird this is, I had something unexpected happen. After I msm to OOS, I did a local update as usual to the last version of Pie. After everything was successful, before I flashed twrp, I got a notification that OOS 10 was ready to install. Not a scam/virus/malware. My question is this, what would have happened if I upgraded to Over the air update instead of local? Remember, I have a T-Mobile branded 6t

yeah I'm on the international rom, but debating if I should update cause the play store not being certified.

Yeah I have been back and forth because of this issue but really like the dark theme option Android 10 has. Wish T-Mobile would hurry up I would just go stock.

Nobody is answering my question lol. My phone is T-Mobile branded, so will the OOS 10 update work? Normally we can't get an update notification because its branded and not from Oneplus, so how was I able to get this notification?

I read earlier this month that someone had tried to ota the way you're asking about and it didn't work. From what I remember they had to msm back.
I've been on 9.0.17 with 0 issues and got the update notice yesterday. I DLed the full update available here and did the local upgrade following the instructions in the ultimate guide. It went ok. My only issues are ctsProfile false and the Play store not certified. I would have rather stayed on 9.0.17. I'm not sure what those issues would mean for you going to Havoc.

SM-G955U1 Oreo Update Out

I just received my Oreo update for my Unlocked S8+. Has anyone else received it yet? I'm thinking since we have Safestrap and now custom rom support that I'll cancel the update and wait for an AOSP rom.

I was on T-Mobile but switched to MetroPCS two days ago. (Same network)
It's true... I am on Sprint with G995U1 and I am currently downloading a 1354.14MB update.
I had to check for it, but it found it and downloaded it. My phone is unlocked. Update applied without issues.
Loving finally having the auto fill API.
Just checked my software updates for the first time in weeks and there it was! Unfortunately they're working on our electrical system, so I won't be able to download it until WiFi is back up, but it'll give me time to back things up.
Factory unlocked running on T-Mobile
Can anyone confirm if Hotspot remains functional after the update without carrier involvement.
Thanks

T-Mobile on Open Beta not receiving Android 10 OTA

I have tried to manually flash the Android 10 Beta to my OnePlus 6T using Local Upgrade but after the phone reboots, I get a "Build Version does not match Hardware version" error and I have to reset my device using MSMDownloadTool. I've always received the Open Beta updates OTA but this new one I am not. Just food for thought: do you think OnePlus is purposely not sending the update OTA to T-Mobile Variants running the International ROM? I've attempted on both the bootloader unlocked method, and the method without needing to unlock the bootloader.

Yes, T-Mobile is excluded from this beta until now. We found a way to flash the ROM but it has some issues that need to be fixed.

For what it's worth, Android 10 Beta showed up via OTA on my TMobile 6T running international ROM. Was excited and installed it...same result as for you...won't boot and shows the same message.
OTA's have never worked, just fyi.

I have had no problem with OTA's on my tmobile 6t running the international beta. I have taken 6-8 of them with no issues.
I've gone from each beta to 17 since i switched to international with no issues. Android 10 does partitions different amongst other things and that's why it doesn't work via OTA.

They've always worked for me, you must've not read the original post. And I just received the Android 10 OTA but I'm not gonna install it bc apparently it'll still brick the phone.

Same here. All Android 9 OTA updates worked fine for me. That's why I didn't really think twice to hit INSTALL when the Android 10 OTA showed up. I was on the BETA channel, btw, which I am sure you are too.
The notification is driving me crazy.
You can not install Android 10 open beta on a T-Mobile variant OnePlus6T. It will not boot. You will HW/SW mismatch. Even if you've converted it to International
There is no OTA for Android 10, you have to download it from the Oxygen Updater app and then Local Upgrade.
But as I mentioned earlier, IF you have a T-Mobile converted 6T it WILL NOT WORK. you will brick.

You can by using the fastboot OB1 mentioned here in these forums, but it's still far from stable. Best to wait for the stable Android 10 from OnePlus. It may be another month though before we see it.

No OTA? Oh ok..
Don't install the OTA of you're TMobile, as everyone has said, it will soft brick your device
Fortunately I have the Oneplus 6T International Purple variant. I wanted to be able to use 2 SIMS just in case I need a phone for work I'll just install a second SIM.

RCS / Chat for OnePlus 6T T-Mobile

I have the T-Mobile variant which I converted to the International ROM using the method that does not require the bootloader to be unlocked. I am running the open beta of 9.0.17. I went to check if I have Chat features yet and it worked for like a second! I turned the toggle on, went back, clicked chat features again and now it says it's not available for my device. Maybe it was just a glitch, but look at the screenshot I attached! My hopes were so high and now I'm just upset again. Will I ever get Chat features? Who am I waiting on? Google? OnePlus? T-Mobile?

On the T-Mobile firmware it only works with the stock messaging app, probably the same on the OB.
Yes, I was running the international software and had this same issue. Flashed back to stock T-Mobile software due to horror stories of the update to Android 10 bricking converted devices. Tried to turn these on again, and same story... Stock messaging app worked, Google's didn't.
I have converted to International and upgraded to 10.0 using Oxygen Updater then downloaded Google Messenger app and it works great. I do have a unlocked bootloader however.

Wrong, just update to the latest beta of messages and make sure carrier services is updated and it can be fully activated. Am currently on stock T-mobile firmware.

OnePlus 6t T-Mobile unlocked converted oxygen 10.3

Hi, I have a T-Mobile version of OnePlus 6t and it is unlocked. I converted to global room but Can I update to oxyen os 10.3?
I saw posts that T-Mobile version needs to wait T-Mobiles OTA but I am not sure this applied to post-unlocked one.

I went from 9.0.17 to 10.3 with a local upgrade - all seems to work fine. Except for Google certification that will not be available till TMobile release A10 and certify the device. So some applications will not show in Play Store (Like Netflix) and GPay will not work.

Yes, you can. You better install Netflix BEFORE upgrading. The reason is Netflix deployment is not one APK - you will need to use 3d party to deploy Netflix apk.

May I ask, when you went from 9.0.17 to 10.3, did you use Oxygen updater? I have converted twice now from A9 to A10 and both times had to msmtool back to A9.17 due to various issues. I would like to update to A10, but don't want to have an issue and have to re-wipe everything and go through the ordeal of unlocking bootloader again as well as copying all my files back to my phone and setting things back up.
Did you have any issues with your upgrade or was it a seemless experience? I realize there is Netflix and google play (I do use Netflix but no Gpay).
If it worked good for you I may consider going to 10.0.3 from 9.0.17 in the next day or so. I realize the upgrading is all subjective, just curious

I just updated to the latest 10.0.3 last night. There were no major hiccups and I followed the ultimate guide method 2. There were some Magisk modules that were incompatible such as (OOS Doze) and my sms/MMS with Google messenger stopped working. The messagenr actually resolved itself and is now working and my Netflix works along with Disney plus. I am using the module safetypass to pass safetnet

Local update. I didn't lose any data or files. The process was pretty straight forward and i went straight to 10.0.3 too.

Not true I went from 9. 17 to 10.01 and Incremental to 10.3. With no issues. Your mileage may vary.
I'm on 9.0.17 converted TMobile to international, can I take the 10.3.0 update , I'm understanding I'll most likely lose Google pay which I don't use anything else?
I went from 9.17 converted to International to 10.3, then rooted.
Yes you will lose Google Pay and Play Store Certification.

Global conversion running android 11?

I acquired a t-mobile one plus 6t last month that is carrier unlocked and I have a few questions concerning converting it to global. First question is if anyone is running the android 11 stable release on a converted 6t? If so have you ran into any issues?
I do have a bootloader unlock token but I found the method that doesn't require one. Does it matter whether I use the conversion method that requires the token or not? Any pros vs cons of the different methods? Thanks for any input you can offer, it's greatly appreciated.

Is your 6t converted from T-Mobile to global? Was you using a custom recovery to flash and did you do a total wipe for a clean install?
I read one report of battery drain after a dirty flash but they said after a factory reset it seemed to improve. I am still running TMobile firmware so I think I will go ahead and convert but only upgrade to oos 10 so I don't end up having to downgrade over battery drain. Did you end up downgrading back to oos 10?
