Interesting, the build number and one shown in that document for November update doesn't agree to my phone, and I'm fully stock.

My build ends 181121, the document says it is for build ending in 181029.

It all seems to have all gone downhill from...

"Ryan, I get where you are coming from..."

Nothing about this release coming to anyone's T-Mobile phone on the OnePlus forum. In fact the only news on the OnePlus and xda forums when I checked, was from you old son.

Possibly someone at T-Mobile has jumped the gun and posted a, "waiting to be certified by T-Mobile", firmware.

Perhaps Tmo had sent out a release and then quickly pulled it for a variety of reasons and this left a pocket of users with a different build number. Or maybe different region? Or maybe the have a small test group that receives releases for validation/acceptance testing before distribution to broad market, changing build number upon final sign off and release?

The hilarious part is that they have gone on to tell me that OxygenOS is a custom ROM that I must have installed! Because they have no record of the software on my phone, I even linked the XDA article discussing the update with a full changelog!

LMAO!

T-Mobile (USA) come across as totally clueless in that conversation.


Has anyone tried installing Oxygen Updater, free from the Play Store, as it is usually pretty quick at updating and now works on the T-Mobile (USA) variant.

I have it installed, it shows no update available.

I am seriously thinking of referring to this T-Mobile (USA) update as the...

"God update"

Inasmuch as everyone has heard of it but no one has actually seen it.

Now TmoNews has jumped on the bandwagon with this article...

T-Mobile announces new OnePlus 6T software update


Which does at least admit... "This update is listed as being released on January 3, but it doesn’t appear to be rolling out widely quite yet."

Now they want to give me a new phone. Lol

I suppose it is one way of getting rid of their excess stock.

Better late than never.

Any chance of the changelog, please. Does it show the firmware comparison for this new release in Oxygen Updater?

Would you mind going to...

Camera > Settings > About... and post the camera version number which used to be the old v2.9.43

WTF... Still on November Security patch I'm told.

The update is literally for roaming and that's it. =(

Seems like I will unlock the bootloader once OP sends me the code

I am so sorry msr360!

Even I felt sure in my post, here, that the new release would be based on at least the global model's 9.0.6 or 9.0.7 firmware and that the new camera, if not v3.0.13, would be either v2.10.11 or v2.10.13.

It seems this T-Mobile (USA) update is, as you say... "literally for roaming"
