Ok I have a TMobile OnePlus Nord n10 5g I got it temporarily network unlocked and got the bootloader unlock token from OnePlus while it was unlocked (that might be something to try hint hint lol). So now I have the bootloader unlocked and its running the international rom. Is there anyway to go in through adb or fastboot and permanently network unlock it? Thanks in advance everyone.

Have the same phone with same variant (TMobile) and also need to have my network unlocked. For me I'm in Africa and so without unlocking the phone I would never be able to use it. The phone, which I purchased from Ebay, wasn't eligible for any unlocking from Tmobile. Both Temporal and Permanent Unlocking didn't work for me. I researched right here on XDA and found out that deleting modemst1 and modemst2 files off the EFS partition of the phone would trigger a network unlock - Full and Permanent. Well, I did it and for me that doesn't seem to be the case - phone is still locked. Only thing I noticed is that now there is no screen notification saying that the network is locked... and to use app or settings to unlock.
Ever got your permanently unlocked by some means?

so i bought this nord n10 from ebay and apparently when i got to the settings to try rooting it, the oem unlocking is greyed out. any solutions? i tried to find online but there wasnt really any so, i need to keep looking in these forums. someone said a solution about sim card unlocking or something
edit: shouldve mentioned this, its a t-mobile phone
also im very new to this
OnePlus Nord pure debloat follow guid it will enable oem unlocking. If it's a carrier locked phone you will have to get a oem unlock token via oneplus
if its a metro phone you wont be able to get a unlock token via oneplus they dont have the imei in there data base and are clueless how to do it
Fastboot oem get unlock data
Send the string of numbers to oneplus
Along with the IMEI number
after talking with oneplus they say they do not support MertoPCS N10 5G via unlock page and i have to ask MetroPCS for unlock token MetroPCS says its oneplus that has to supply the unlock token there has been a few user that are getting the same runaround one even filed a complaint with the FCC over it

I was the one who contacted fcc they contacted OnePlus on my behalf haven't heard anything yet. I don't know why it's such an issue for them I've heard people say they have metro n200 unlocked from the page
I don't know either but I will not be buying a OnePlus again
You can try oem brute force fastboot script it's actually for Huawei devices but Iv used it on other devices

I have unlocked the bootloader of metropcs Nord N200 successfully. The metropcs N200 has the same model number as T-Mobile version while the metropcs nord N10 has a different model number from t-mobile N10.

Could be why I don't know if model number has anything to do with imei generation though

Yes.
Clearly oneplus only added the imeis of t-mobile model number to the bootloader unlock data base.
For N200, metropcs version has the same model number so we can unlock the bootloader of metropcs n200.
The N10 can be flashed with the international rom via msm tool and the bootloader can be unlocked that way

Just wait until you can unlock your phone via the unlocker app.
I literally just unlocked everything a few minutes ago without messing with my phone.

You have no idea about what bootloader unlock actually is.
Your bootloader is still locked unless you get the unlock token from oneplus and flash it in fastboot.

My guy, I've been doing this since 2008.
My phone actually booted the dynamic system image and hit a DMverity wall. Previously, my phone wouldn't even attempt to install the DSU because because of the bootloader being locked.
bruh i tried looking up rooting beginner's guide and it was stilll complicated so is the other beginner's guide online, i really don't know what to do when im stuck, no tutorials on youtube to root the N10 5G...
i recently bought a used N10 from ebay and while i checked the IMEI on tmobiles site (its clean), its sim locked.
i used @Paula2707cq awesome debloat script and was able to toggle the OEM unlock. i got the key and sent for the bootloader unlock token and hope to get it soon but i now have a question.
will unlocking the bootloader get rid of the sim lock? if not, do i have to go through tmo? i tried the phone with my mint mobile sim card and everything works but im going to wait to see if i can unlock the bootloader or im going to send the phone back. thanks for any and all help.

Simlock means the phone is locked to the network (tmo)..try what i said in other response
Even it's unlocked it wouldn't work on AT&T, a locked TMo phone(not Metro's) will work on TMo and it's MVNO just fine.
I'm just about to return my Samsung A52 5G after realizing that the bootloader seemingly can't be unlocked. I did a quick google and thought it was possible, but apparently the North American version is locked.
Now I'm looking at this phone as my next option. Can anyone confirm if the OEM Unlock button appears in the Canadian version of this phone? I'm buying from the OnePlus website, and it says that it is carrier-unlocked (not T-Mobile).
I'm not even planning to root the device or do anything advanced, but I want to have the option to install Lineage later on once I stop receiving OTA updates, assuming that the Lineage devs make a build for this phone.

I'm having the same issue. T-mobile US and the OEM Unlock button is gone

I believe there's a method to unlock the T-Mobile US version. I asked OnePlus's support, and there was a separate set of instructions for T-Mobile, so they might be able to help you.
I ended up buying the carrier-unlocked phone in Canada, and everything worked out; the OEM Unlock button wasn't blocked or anything. You just need the fastboot and adb drivers for the device, as usual.
There's a way to get oem ungreyed,read aroud
Even OEM and SIM unlock are separate, you have to have SIM unlock first before enabling OEM unlock.
Units sold directly from OnePlus.com is SIM unlocked.
This is regarding unlocking bootloader on T-Mobile varient. There are two observations.
1) After device is SIM unlocked modification of the setting that was greyed out, 'OEM Unlocking' will be possible..2) Without device being SIM unlocked, modification of same setting is possible by performing the ADB command ("adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.qualcomm.qti.uim")Surely the manufacturer wouldn't make SIM unlocking as easy as performing a simple ADB command. But if not, wouldn't that imply that it is, in fact, NOT necessary for device to be SIM Unlocked to Unlock bootloader? It Don't make any sense.
Has anyone tried to unlock bootloader on SIM Locked device and did it work? what happened?
I took my SIM Locked T-Mobile N200 that I never paid a single month for and that was blacklisted and account sent off to collections.
I did ADB command to enable OEM Unlocking. Went to FASTBOOT and acquired the unlocking key. I sent key to ONEplus via their T-Mobile Unlocking webpage. And Oneplus responded a week later with my unlock_code.bin file.. DEVICE UNLOCKED
So I guess this would imply that ability to modify the greyed out OEM unlocking is the only way to unlock bootloader and NOT that 'device must SIM Unlocked' as instructed in the unlocking process.. Device being SIM unlocked is simply just ONE method of allowing modification of that setting? Right??
If you use the adb command and send your IMEI through the device unlock portal on OnePlus.com, you can be bootloader unlocked without being sim unlocked.
It just seems too easy for a T-Mobile locked Contract phone to be unlocked, don't they check the Device against some sort of database or something before providing you the unlock_code.bin??

The unlock_code.bin file lets you bootloader unlock the phone. This does NOT SIM/network unlock your phone... Though with T-Mobile you're supposed to be SIM unlocked before you can bootloader unlock, we just figured out how to bypass that.
They just linked the SIM unlock to the same thing we've been using, is my guess. I'd be interested to know if I'm right, but at this point, it's moot.
SIM UNLOCKED (bought in September/2021)
It got sim-unlocked after 180day, by simply pressing "unlock permanently" without using Metro or T-Mobile sim ever. after 180day however the phone is seems out of time (outdated).
Usually it will automatically unlock after 180 days, but I am wondering if it can be done faster?
what exactly are you trying to unlock? the SIM unlock i think has to be requested through the carrier or possibly a business that specifically does those but i cant recommend any or the use of those services. bootloader unlock on the tmobile variant(which should be the exact same device, the tmobile variant has the metro apps installed but disabled" was already available in the first security patch...... but i ran the Nord debloat script from another oneplus thread before ever attempting the bootloader unlock the first time so i cant verify whether thats even needed to get the oem unlock option available or not. maybe someone else can comment on that
my device is MetroPCS, hasn't been 180 days and anyone should be able to unlock the bootloader on these carrier devices. and as stated above, sim unlock and bootloader unlock are two different things. you will not be able to force a sim unlock, and the bootloader unlock will not expedite the process either.
pay off your device or search the forums for someone who might just be able to help you, if you fall within their guidelines.
