Does anyone know how to SIM unlock a OnePlus Nord N200 on T-Mobiles network??
Read the first chunk of this post:
The Quest for a Bootloader Unlock (partial guide, T-Mobile variant, may work for MetroPCS/Metro variant)
OK, this process has been hell, but I'm gonna try and consolidate everything I've worked out so far in one place. This all applies only to the T-Mobile variant (ie. it comes preloaded with all the T-Mobile bloatware) of the N200 on the T-Mobile...

Does the At&t model already have a port going? Unlocked bootloader etc? Can the 1527 be unlocked now?
Motorolla will still not unlock the bootloader for the xt1527 AT&T Go-Phone variant which also means no root. Sucks to cause there seems to be alot of development for the other carrier models but AT&T has to be a bag of D**KS. Oh well on to the next phone with high hopes of badassery.
Hello everyone,
I am looking to get V30 but i want to root and unlock bootloader. i know that only european model that can be unlock bootloader via LG website. Also i read a thread here which most variant of v30 except T-mobile H932 that can't be unlock. I want to make sure to get a V30 that can be root. I got an experience with the G5 korean Variant which can't be root or unlock bootloader that's why I am asking you guys. I only have a few option: Verizon , At&t or korean Variant. so any suggestion?
Sorry...

Also i read a thread here which most variant of v30 (CAN be bootloader unlocked and rooted) except T-mobile H932 that can't be unlock (Actually T-mobile H932 just can't be rooted -- as the T-mobile H932 does have bootloader unlock, but does NOT have necessary fastboot flash commands and is the one model than cannot be cross flashed to a V30 model which does have fastboot flash commands).

1) Every V30/V30+/V30S on the planet CAN be bootloader unlocked and rooted -- except for the T-mobile H932.
2) It's NOT true that only European H930 model can be bootloader unlocked on LG website. On LG website -- where you are asking LG's permission -- open market US998 and H930G can also get bootloader unlock codes. I have an open market US998 V30 rooted since January 2018 through LG website! I have official unlock.bin code for that open market Us998 phone sent to me by LG through that website.
3) See #1. We no longer need LG's permission. There's a quite nice bootloader unlock exploit in Oreo which can easily bootloader unlock and root almost EVERY V30/V30+/V30S. See this thread:
WTF V30/V30+/V30S Bootloader Unlock and Root (MOST VARIANTS)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76584629&postcount=193
4) What LG V30/V30+/V30S phone to get? Almost any you wish.
I am on AT&T and bought two MINT Sprint LS998 V30+ for $335 off eBay -- but in 10 minutes they were cross flashed to open market US998.
I also own three other "original" US998 V30/V30+ I bought from B&H Photo.
However, if you live in U.S. ...
Do NOT get the H930DS. Those don't have the LTE bands you need for U.S. carriers and you cannot add them.
Also, if you live in the U.S,. do NOT get any of the Korean variants for bootloader unlock, as it's a LOT more complicated.
Yes, Korean carrier variants can be rooted, and much thanks to the Korean guys who have made a video and written out extensive instructions. But you first have to follow MY guide to bootloader unlock and THEN follow their guide to finish. If you are in the U.S. and want root, there's no advantage to buy Korean carrier variant which has more complications.
For U.S, you probably want just any of the North American variants. Just choose whichever is less expensive at this moment, as you will convert/cross flash to what you need.
AT&T H931
Sprint LS998
Verizon VS996
open market/U.S. Cellular US998 (confusingly the same model number, and there's really no difference)
Canadian H933
regional carrier AS998
You can get mint LS998 V30+ (128GB) on eBay for $320 (current pricing, as it was recently $335)
After rooting, if you wish to flash back carrier-specific modems (like for Sprint or Verizon) you can do that.
4) One favor to ask... Please do not use this Q&A format any more. Just open a regular thread, please. It's a pain to answer these type Q&A questions and manually put in the formatting for good answers.
Thanks @ChazzMatt for the answer. sorry for using this Q&A format. I'm really new to XDA. I don't know how to use it well yet.
@ChazzMatt m living in Cambodia so sad that i can't get the V30 via eBay. and the price here for the v30 64gb model cost around 350$ already :/
I am trying to ruin my phone to anyone have any suggestion
This should probably be under Guides and Questions, rather than ROMS, Kernels, etc. There is a guide for rooting via Magisk in that section, incidentally.
Ok
If you're on the metro or tmobile version of the N10, you'll have to wait until you can sim unlock. Then you have to request a code from oneplus.

Will that unlock the OEM Bootloader Unlock setting?
I'm not sure yet, but that's what is implied by the fine print on the oneplus site.
We'll find out when someone hits 180 days and unlocks their nord.
Our bootloader is password protected, so someone has a key like they use for the tmob version of the phone.
I currently have both the T-Mobile version and I purchased an unlocked version from BestBuy.

Are there physical differences to these two phones or are they just running different software?
EDIT I looks like its not possible to unlock the bootloader of the T-Mobile version just yet and I have been doing some searching and it looks like the unlocked version is closer to being unlocked. If anyone can confirm a way to bootloader unlock either I would appreciate it.
My end goal here is to get access to Unlocked/Uncapped tethering without having to use a 3rdparty app or companion app. The ability to flash custom ROMs and root access. But also the ability to flash back to a 100% stock rom.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
EDIT I see now you can get the bootloader unlocked on both version by sending a token to Oneplus and waiting 7 days.

The only physical difference is that the T-Mobile version has the IMEI engraved onto the back of the phone while the unlocked variant does not and the original boxes are slightly different.
Both phones run different software. It is possible to flash the unlocked ROM to the T-Mobile version of the phone after unlocking the bootloader, but that breaks OTA.

You may find this useful with the T-Mobile variant: CLICK HERE
All the info you need to get your bootloader unlocked for the T-Mobile variant.
There's even a single adb command that will ungrey the OEM unlock option in the developer settings without a SIM unlock (you'll still need the unlock token from OP though):

does unlocked version has dual sim capability and dual sim tray??
I'm trying to do the same thing with the N200 for a hostpot @xVoidx . I'm curious if you succeeded, and what ROM did you end up using to do it?
I have this phone fully bootloader unlocked. can someone direct me to a tmobile variant rom? or something thatll change it from tmobile to unlocked?
