OnePlus just informed me they will NOT unlock bootloader for a device on bought on Ebay.

@oldbutndy Also read the instructions in the N100 thread. It goes into detail on what you need to copy over in the files - don't just copy the files without modifying them. That's the part that may have gone wrong. If done correctly, you are not supposed to need a token. It could also be it was done correctly, and OnePlus just changed things with the N10. We will not know until others try it.

I have been reading and re-reading those instructions for past while. Not sure I am reading the correct ones.
One that had some details, by Dugen & Joko is: Oneplus Nord N100 MetroPCS (BE2015) Install Success.
I this the best one to refer to ? -
@oldbutndy yes. Just adjust for N10

I downloaded the OxygenOS global 10.5.7 zip.
This BE2028 shows software version as 11.0.15BE88CB.
Where do I download this version zip file to extract the relevant info from ?
Or do you recommend some method of pulling it from phone ?
Also, use bkerler oppo_decrypt from github to extract the settings.xml ? -

Yes, on the decrypt. You need to unpackage the files, swap the required info, repackage with oppodecrypt and flash with msmDownloadtool

@oldbutndy When I think about it, you might want to try using the T-mobile 10.5.7 package from xda-developers or directly from OnePlus and the global 10.5.7 from Ruben. The mismatch in version numbers could be why it did not work for the others.
Then swap the relevant info as per instructions of course.

@rocket2nfinity OK. I will look for those. I copied the detailed posts into 2 files to edit steps into numbered checklists, and merge & highlight important details. Trying to ensure I don't leave out a critical step. hopefully simplify troubleshooting failure. Or, if lucky/successful, repeat the process.

Tried the process. I used Oneplus OEM T-Mobile 10.5.8 for source info.
It did load my modified version of the OEM Oneplus version of global file, but FAILED to unlock bootloader.
phone still tells adb that token is required.
I changed the 5 descriptors in settings.xml described in the N100 posting.
Maybe there are others. -

How do I get the global 10.5.7 from Ruben ?
-
@oldbutndy The one from the Devices page, or the manual instructions from his page
-
@oldbutndy That confirms it's not working as expected. I will let Ruben know. It seems token is needed for now.
