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

@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.

Yes, that is the one I had found & merged the OEM T-Mobile BE2028 info into, then renamed it from global to the T-mobile name, and installed it (No more T-mobile logo at boot) & booted OK, but still boot loader locked, and requesting token.

@oldbutndy you can try the EU version, from there you can flash firmware directly from OS. (EU version can flash an OTA file from android)
so get an OTA update and check if it overrides fastboot to something useable then take an OTA that does and flash it (if its version is older then what you have then do the proccedure with an older EU ROM)this is the only thing i can think of short of cracking the phone open and starting to dump chip data, or if you can dump NAND dump from there and try to manually patch firmware directly. (after all theres a boolean somewhere for bootloader unlocked y/n)
