@Sander - Wow. Thank you so much!! This is amazing!! I never thought to try to tap somewhere else. This is absolutely awesome and makes using the terminal a pleasant experience, even on a phone! Thanks again for sharing this gem!!

I was able to receive an unlock from OnePlus for BE2028. I was asked to send a proof of purchase (Amazon). Can you sell the eBay version to someone else and try to purchase from Amazon?

btw, it took about 2 weeks from when I screenshot the IMEI, serial, unlock code, etc before I receive the unlock token. (highly recommend screenshot vs talk over phone, I lost 3 additional weeks due to error in translation).

Please note: it works on T-Mobile, but starting next year they are deprecating 4G in USA with complete deprecation in 2028 (for Starlink satellite ... not dead zones any where it world!). I think from the VOLTE thread someone got it working on a Verizon subsidiary, so that could extend usage further. Not sure which one though.

Not sure if this impacts your decision. I'm going to use it as long as I can and try to stay Ubuntu Touch on my next phone too.

Model: OnePlus Nord N10 5g
UbuntuTouch ver: 24.04-2.x

Mobile Operator: T-Mobile (VOLTE, call, text, internet, success!)
tried Ting first, but failed for me

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

@Leroy_Linux US Mobile. Also works with 5g on T-Mobile and AT&T 5g.

Nice! Thanks for the info! Will look to those carriers if the need arises.

@Leroy_Linux Curious whether your second SIM slot works. BE2025 and BE2026 only have one SIM slot

Mine also only has 1 SIM slot (the 2nd slot is microSD).

@gpatel-fr This is fantastic man! I didn't know about the hamburger option then Scr. thank you! Thank You! THANK YOU!! This is doing exactly what I want it to do. (I just have to go to hamburger each time I open terminal, but at least there is this option). Great idea too on setting up ssh and can connect to phone from actual computer and type with ease on full size keyboard. Thanks again!

Hello UT comrades,
I use Linux for my daily computer and it is so nice when in terminal to press "Tab" to complete filenames, directory names, etc (vs typing out name completely OR misspelling by 1 char). It would be even more amazing when in terminal on Ubuntu Touch phone.

Does anyone know of a way to modify one of the keys on my Ubuntu Touch keyboard to become "Tab"?

This would be amazing. Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions.

Cheers, Leroy

@MarcelloTogg said in Difficulties with downgrading my OnePlus Nord:
always fail because the MSM tool can't establish a connection.

@mrt10001 - First, just wanna say, YOU ROCK!!! Your input and support to users in other threads is the only reason I was able to get mine to work. So, just wanted to express my sincere GRATITUDE for what you do. You're a hero in my book.

@marcellotogg - since I did this recently, I think I had a similar error to what you are describing. For me, the Project ID code for your MSM Tools image needs to match the version of Nord 10 that you have. From my notes, I had the BE2028 variant of the phone and the project that worked for me was 20888. If I remember, BE2026=Global=Project 20886, BE2029=Europe=Project 20889, I think BE2027 is TMobile Metro variant and maybe Project 20887 (but not sure on this one).

I was able to receive an unlock from OnePlus for BE2028. I was asked to send a proof of purchase (Amazon). Can you sell the eBay version to someone else and try to purchase from Amazon?

@jam1388 said in Working VoLTE reports, share your experience:

been hearing news about shutdown of 4g on t-mobile starting next month and only certain 4g devices will work ... I just hope this phone continues to work after the phase out of 4g how much speed do we need LOL!!

hello @jam1388 ! I totally agree with you! I just got my NORD n10 5g to work today and in the device verification via T-Mobile webpage, sadly, I think it said this won't work with the satellites. Hope we can get a couple of good years out of it nonetheless.

big THANK YOU for sharing your detailed experience in the OnePlus Nord N10 5g thread. I was inspired to attempt it after seeing you and others succeed!!

I really, truly want to express my sincere GRATITUDE to everyone in this wonderful forum and project in general. The developers, product mgrs, maintainers, support, forum members ... you are all HEROS to me! Let's keep it alive.
