Solved ..
Well.. this is embarrassing, after rebooting the computer one more time, the Qualcomm drivers appaired. Went on to successfully install the original android 10 (ver 10.5.8) (metro-t-mobile ver)
then installed - "Metro - to- Global", preassembled package image of oxogen OS ver 10.5.5 .. ( no trace of Metor-T-Mobil anymore)
Then tried to flash EU firmware OxygenOS_10.5.2 . Then Global OxygenOS_10.5.3 as required for UT install.. both of theas attempts failed. MSM download tool error: "Device not match image (20880)"
Thanks for your info Wally, Id sure like to hear what Ruben did, ? is OS ver 10.5.3 OR 10.5.2 an absolute must to install UT .. ?
Thanks again
