Is it possible to flash oxygen 11 on this device
Doesn't seem like it. The issue as far as I can tell is that this particular model was T-Mobile specific, and 90% of the development from OnePlus is pointed towards the International/Generic version of the OnePlus 7T Pro. The Generic OnePlus 7T Pro doesn't support 5G, but our McLaren edition phones have more Memory, and supports 5G. I think our issue is we're bound by T-Mobile deciding which firmware to pickup from OnePlus, to test with their "QA" department, and then to release to us. OnePlus is fast, T-Mobile... not so much.
I think eventually we'll get it, but T-Mobile needs to load all their bloatware onto it first and then spend 6 months QA testing it, blah blah only to release it with bugs all the while OnePlus has released 2 or 3 updates since then.
That said... our best bet is the small handful of 3rd party developers who are working on this phone, releasing some kind of AOSP based ROM for this phone.
It's already confirmed that we are getting A11. I believe we will also get A12.
The reason there is no "global" or non-T-Mobile ROM available from 1+ for this device is that it was ONLY sold in the US, ONLY sold by T-Mobile, and is the ONLY 7T or 7T Pro variant worldwide with the X55 modem. They were able to get the global ROM on the T-Mobile OP7 because it's modem (and the rest of it's hardware) is the same as the global variants.

Hi I am interested in buying the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g mainly because T-Mobile is going live with 5g where I live on Decemeber 6th 2019. But from what I know the this phone doesn't support the 5g bands for T-Mobile.
I heard that there is a way to unlock those bands on Qualcomm devices and this phone uses the Snapdragon SOC.
Can this be done?

So the bands for 5g that tmobile supports is not dependent on just the processor, its also dependent on what the manufacturer decides on. As with all phones, you need to see what is the most compatible cell phone provider for that phone. If the mi mix 3 does not support tmobile bands, there's no way to force it to.

Correct. I've had a discussion on a Mi Mix 3 5g thread where this guy says it's a update thing not a hardware thing. Which I feel he's clearly wrong. Cell bands have nothing to do with updates, it's a hardware thing.
Dear slimegpod,
The frequency is supported in hardware but we did trials and only the Vodafone and global rom version has the Vodafone de 5g Network activated.
So I am on eu rom and cannot use Vodafone de 5g only Telekom and I am planning to switch ROMs but waiting for a moment to unlock since I will lose all my data.

Yes but I'm in the States and no carrier supports the Mix 3 5g. What other ROMs are you waiting for to install?
Carrier Support Not needed for mi mix 3 5g
Dear slimegood,
I called my carrier and the result was that they communicated the values to connect to the 5g network to Xiaomi and they need to add it to their firmware. The problem being that some variants of the firmware have not picked up the configuration options.

Any luck? The phone does not support 5G out of the box. According to manufacturers website, "5G function will be available via OTA update. Update times depend on your specific carrier and network."
Let us know if you find a way to do it without the OTA update.

There should be a option under network settings. I it seems the development for this device is crap though (as far as the updates are concerned). It sucks it's on MIUI v10 which I understand why but they still should've had this figured out before releasing it.
Thanks.
Well thanks for the feedback, if the firmware gets released somebody let me know. I really like the phone, but compatibility with USA 5g is really important to me.
i dont think it will ever get 5g support in the states - it uses a different 5g tech than what the us telecoms are proceeding with as far as i was told.
Stating that - i use it on t-mobile and i get great 4g in most places.
I am living in a region which only got n77 for 5G network
Just wondering can it be done via pc software editing or something like the volte method.
Its brother find x2 pro comes with n77 by default, but it is not officially available on onelpus 8 pro.
I'm trying to find out about unlocking bands using regional firmware but even Oneplus aren't giving me a straight forward answer on this
I brought oneplus 8t 5g from India to Bangkok. operator in Thailand(AIS) uses N41 Band and in India N78... Here 5g is not working, what can i do to make it work.. kindly help
My 8 pro in my (network) country does not have 5g. (I have a new 5g SIM)
I talk to OnePlus tech and they say that it will be solved in future updates.
It will be faster if each one of you talk to Oneplus tech and they see that many people need more 5g bands.

I am trying to talk to them almost on daily basis but they are providing any solution for the problem. Poor customer service from them

Hello all i have just switched from tmobile to mint mobile about 25 days ago and my fiance and dad they both love service i did as well when it was working so this hopefully will help alot of people if you are able to find this thread i started on the service by upgrading to a new phone had the one plus 7t went to the mclaren edition and started having non stop text and phone issues texts would either not send or have to go into airplane mode and then normal or restart and calls sometimes wouldnt dial out and incoming calls from specific numbers would just hang up before able to get a ring or fast busy ive read alot of old posts and have not seen anyone answer this yet i went through 2 mclarens and a oneplus 8 and now a 8t to figure this out inbetween i had a nord 10 5g unlocked direct from oneplus and made a guess that it was the tmobile varriant software and i was right!!!! the issues if your having similar problems will be 100% resolved by rebranding your oneplus tmobile varriants to global it doesnt change your bands or what not but something in the tmobile software doesnt allow mint this is conrimed because i had a nord and everything worked fine but of course i wasnt happy with the ram and speed after having flagship phones so ordered 2 oneplus 8s on amazon and they falsely advertised saying they were in2010 of course i got in2017 that is the oneplus 8 8gb tmobile varriant so all you have to do is first unlock your sim so you can use any carrier you can do that through the phone under settings wifi and data and then at bottom should say unlock and request a perminent unlock i belive the standard requirments are to have a tmobile phone that was on tmobile network for at least 40 days if you havent but still have there service can call and ask say your going out of the country and doing development and then after that step 2 is to request a bootloader unlock that takes 7 days roughly give or take a few hours you can submit request to start the 7 day wait here https://www.oneplus.com/unlock_token and then you will need to convert your phone to a global version i will try and find link for mclaren but ill drop links this is for oneplus 7t lucky there is way to skip sim and bootloader bypass here is link https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...thout-unlocked-bootloader-sim-unlock.4153943/ oneplus 8 https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-convert-to-global-wip.4105885/ and oneplus 8t i didnt find it will start looking but i promise you i just did this to my oneplus 8 and it works flawlessly ended up setting up return because i ended up paying 470 to 480 for the 8s and found a local oneplus 8t sim unlocked 1 month old with the glass cover on screen and cameras perfect condition for 500 cash so lucked out just submitted my bootlaoder unlock and i know will work great i hope i have helped alot of people here sorry if this has already been told but i was not able to find anywhere when i started the journey i had no idea and went through weeks of turmoil i dont want anyone else to do so just follow the directions thanks guys take care
That was hard to read.
I have a OnePlus 7t Pro 5g Mclaren on Mint as well. I'm having nothing but trouble with it. I tried one of the Lineage builds and still had problems. I've tried every apn and setting combo I can think of. I've worked with Mint support and gotten nowhere.
I'll look into your info of rebranding. I'll be honest: I'm skeptical.
This looks sketchy to me. Not trying it.
I loaded up AOSiP and am rock solid reliable again. Receiving all calls, SMS, MMS. Not looking back. Try it. You'll like it.
Pure Android goodness.
So true T-Mobile variant on OP8 does not work on Mint. Works great on Global. Trying a maccleran now -- but what is the OP pure stock? Does not seem to be one.
Pretty sure this issue (unreliable calls, calls ringing straight to voicemail, sms sending and receiving issues) applies to all recent OnePlus T-mobile variants when used on MVNOs that use T-Mobile 5G or LTE. Makes absolutely no sense to me, haven't found a fix, very annoying. Also our phone can't be converted to Global because there never was a global version made of the 7T Pro 5G Mclaren, it was only available from T-Mobile.
On 1+7tproNR (HD1925) and using Los 17.1, rooted and mint mobile with never once an issue,
Safteynet passes, gpay works, Netflix, Snapchat, games, I use google dialer & messages, I have never once changed the APN, just left it on auto. Not sure which Los you are using
After 2. more updates, the screen does not show the time after tapping. It only reacts to tilting. Both in Beta and stable version !?
Does anyone have the same problems?
There was never a beta version. You are in the wrong forum. This is specifically for the T-Mobile 7T Pro 5G Mclaren (HD1925). If you have a global 7T Pro Mclaren (without 5G), simply visit the regular 7T or 7T Pro forums as the only difference is the look. The T-mobile 5G version is a completely different animal.

Was going to get a Verizon-branded OP8 but settled for a Pro unlocked just so I can root. Am I the only one?
Edit
Lol me too. We can't get 5g on these phones through Verizon I don't think
I think this is simply Verizon, and as there isn't a lot of people using Verizon the support just isn't there.
Obviously doesn't help you but if avoid them in the future.
Has Verizon promised you 5G? Are you paying for it?
No, boss lady pays for my service coz I use it also for work. She offered one of her upgrades to get an iPhone but I can't because iPhone. Verizon OP8 was an option but bootloader locked down. OP8Pro unbranded was 3rd choice, and although it would be out of pocket, I jumped on it.
5G is a problem for Europa, too. I read that a Lot of people who complain they don't have 5g in many countrys in Europa.
On 8 Pro NO 5g ! On 9 Pro, same, NO 5g ! There is NO 5g option in "Preferred Network Type". And OnePlus sales 5g phones...
Of course i have new 5g capable SIM. My network 5g works in band 78.
Till now 5g is BS.
I'm in the UK and 5G works fine, i don't need i but it definitely works.
A bunch of people who have the 8 pro have 5G just fine.
If you're completely missing the 5G option then speak with your provider.
I read online the 8pro doesn't have the mmWave antennae so hence, no 5G.
At least for me, coming from HTC U11 (where only Band 13 works on Verizon), I'm hoping to at least get more bars more often. Daughter's Iphone 12 Pro Max, I think, gets like 60Mb download where we live. Wife's Pixel 4xl gets around 40ish. Me thinks I'll be right around 40ish too.
I'm with Visible (Verizon's MVNO). I had updated my OP 8 Pro to the latest OOS beta 11, and I see the 5G label pops up occasionally next to the triangular signal bar. Verizon has deploy sub 6 5G anchors with LTE bands, aka DSS, in my area.
So far, I can't find a unroot method to turn on wifi calling on OOS 11 with Visible cell service.
