@ChromiumOS-Guy said in OnePlus just informed me they will NOT unlock bootloader for a device on bought on Ebay.: i dont think a port will just happen somebody needs to activly work on it That's true, but from what I heard, that is happening. Well, at least for the 8 and 8t. Haven't heard about the 8 Pro.

@oldbutndy Yeah, this topic has been raised a few times on the forum. To me, it does seem like at this point the website's Devices page may be out of date on this issue. I've made a post in the Design section of the forum, where I've seen the Website team post before.

@gpatel-fr Huh! A challenge like that. I'll try my best...

Yikes ...got qualcomm kernel crash dump after updating.. it's fine now , hold power button, reboot x2 . Hmm , fear not bleeding edge , could be a glitche of device itself. 123 now , it all look ok.

I think he's saying he wants to forward SMS from his primary phone to his UT phone - Which I know you can do with VoIP providers, but don't know any cell carriers that will do that, with the exception of T-Mobile. They used to have a feature for that. Don't know if they do now.

@barry00 You can, but the problem with the T-Mobile or Verizon variant from North America is unlocking the bootloader. For some stupid reason on our part, you need to get a token from OnePlus to unlock the bootloader, which you don't have to at the moment in the rest of the world.

@RapidRotator said in What is quality level of external wireless display mode on Nord N10 5G: @oldbutndy I honestly never looked in what is making Jellyfin see my TV as something it can cast to, while it specifically mentions Google Cast to be unsupported, but it works, without any other dongles hanging out of its HDMI ports. Hmmm, can you tell me exact model of your TV ? I will research that, see if similar direct WiFi to my LG Smart TV (which apparently supports Miracast, since I did not do anything special to get UT phone to display on it.) I specifically bought LG TV (used) because I read somewhere that its OS is Linux, and built-in browser was functional (thought slow, like most). (I never use it, since everything connected to TV is FASTER & has more DRAM). Related note: I tried a Samsung S20 wired directly to TV, running their DeX mode. looked good. But, I would want to install UT (not available), or LineageOS. So, checked LOS, & they say VoLTE not working ! So, Oneplus Nord N10 (or possibly a couple others soon, I just read) is STILL the best option for USA, as of 2026jan12.

@majorquibble Check this thread out on the Nord N100.

Thank everyone for their thoughts. I have not changed network providers recently or done anything else which would seem to stand out. No new app installs from the store or anything. I'll keep looking for a way to troubleshoot this and report back if it is found.

@wally A true fact indeed , based my research on videotron ,as they own Fizz . Thanks .

@arubislander That happened to me with the Nord N100 also from Metro PCS. luklly i found a modified BE81AA that was already patched and ready to go. if you're serious you can look in different platforms maybe youll get lucky too and find a way around these restrictions. belive me there's always a way. You just have to do a little research. Oh and before you start any porting or flashing make sure to always keep a backup of your original firmware, to antisipate incase something goes wrong. You'll be able to reverse it without a problem.

@mafman97 You can install Windows to a USB thumb drive and run MSMtool from that There is also a linux method somewhere in the OP 5 or 6 forums, but results are variable.

The same thing happened to my OnePlus Nord N10. It got stuck at the bootloader screen after I upgraded from Ubuntu Touch 20.04 to 24.04. I solved it as @MrT10001 suggested: Started Ubuntu Touch in recovery mode Enabled Fastboot and restarted the devices. Installed Ubuntu Touch 24.04 via the installer desktop application. After that, the problem was fixed, and my device is now running 24.04 without any problems.

@messayisto Thanks, Mate. So it needed two attempts to get it working again. I first tried the 0.5.1 Focal for UT 24.04 which also did not work. I ended up with the one for UT 20.04 which now runs smoothly.

@NoodleCollie, do you have any information as to whether VoLTE is working after you got done installing ubuntu-touch on your 1+n10-5g? I'm asking because the official info on the this topic seems a liitle ambiguous...

Now I could unlock the bootloader. Windows 11 Pro didn't work. But Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon works: Open Terminal. adb devices adb reboot bootloader fastboot oem unlock (works) ubport installer worked. Thank you for your help!

@lukasfixit Did you have the correct version of Android installed before you started the installation?

@frifo Congratulationss! Satisfying to hear that it finally worked. Enjoy Ubuntu Touch!

SUCCESS! Hard to find out what's been the essential step. I just booted OxygenOs 10.5.7 this time with a SIM-card inserted and connected to WiFi immediately. Surprisingly now I could enable OEM-unlocking and after that "fastboot oem unlocked" without any issues. UT 20.04 is running, so the device will be my daily companion from now on. Thank you so much, mates! Didn't find out to mark that thread as solved.
