If anyone wants to fully convert their Tmobile oneplus 8 to global then follow this guide. I bought mine a while back that was tmobile unlocked and was able to convert it to global. Only real advantage vs stock is you get security updates faster and none of the tmobile bloatware in it. Previously it will always seem to break the google play store certification unless you relock the bootloader. This guide tells you how to relocked it in the end to set it as global version while passing safetynet. For those that don't know, without passing safetynet or being certified by google play store, you would not be able to download netflix or use google pay for NFC. This guide will allow you to do that. So far the phone's been working great and the price at ~$200 is great since you still get security patches from oneplus until 2023. Hope this helps!

Unlocking

WITH SIM CARD OUT and CONNECTED TO WIFI here's a good step by step.

Its settings -> wifi & network -> Sim&network -> At the bottom "network unlock". I requested permanent unlock,

It might take a couple of minutes or even fail. If it does fail just do it again until it works

Check the specs of both phones and see which one fits you better. $199 for a phone is a good deal.

Thank you. A follow up. What are the advantages for USA residents to flash global? Or are there no advantages?

You can get rid of TMobile bloatwear and you get updates faster because they come straight from OnePlus instead of TMobile playing with them first.

Just MAKE SURE you read EVERYTHING and understand it before you do it.

It's nice to get rid of the T-Mobile splash screen and apps. It gets much faster updates and has less bloat. I wouldn't recommend anyone that's not experienced flashing phones to attempt the process.

WTH? I thought $249 was a HOT deal and now $187? Customer service sucks big time for a refund.
