Just bought the T-Mobile edition McLaren 7t pro and was wondering if there is a way to get stock firmware on this device. Already have the device sim unlocked so I have the OEM unlock checked already. Thanks in advance.

I got mine SIM unlocked just by asking TMobile. I messaged them on Twitter. The rep was so nice. BUT...you won't be able to unlock the bootloader until OnePlus grants you an unlock token....which takes at least a week!! Dumbest process ever. So yeah, OP probably won't be able to even load the stock image without unlocking the bootloader. Maybe. I haven't done something like that in a while and/or if it's needed just for flashing an image.
We don't even have the MSMDownloadTool for the McLaren 5G for any potential unbricking.
Any attempts to flash stock McLaren firmware will be at your own risk. Even if it's just the system image and you keep the core firmware, you could still lose 5G or bootloop.

I looked before posting but did not see the answer to this so....I have the TMobile one plus 6T sim unlocked but bootloader is still locked down (for now) is there a way without unlocking the bootloader to install the OTA's that are downloadable from the OnePlus website?

Those would be international/unlocked 6T Noms and are not compatible.
So the only way to get the updates as they are available is to unlock the bootloader and flash the international rom?

Yes. I did and I have the T-Mobile 6T. Just use the fastboot version to convert and then update to 9.0.7. But please read all the directions thoroughly, so you don't make a mistake. PM me if you need help.
I'm on T-Mobile so I'll have the T-Mobile variant I apologize if this question has been asked a million times but from what I've read in other threads its Sim unlocking then requesting an unlock.bin from oneplus then boot loader unlock root with magisk. I also read you could change the firmware to international version and also unlock the bootloader is this without having it Sim unlocked and is there any difference between the T-Mobile rom and the international rom? Again I apologize in advance just trying to figure out everything before I grab the phone next week. I'm upgrading to the 6T solely for root. Thank you for your time.
Edit:Already grabbed it and rooted, loving it so far
T-Mo variant can be flashed to international variant then bootloader unlocked. Then root, etc...
Flash the 9.0.11 OOS Firmware. Do not flash the 9.0.12 firmware because OP closed the loophole.

Ok thank you for the heads up where can I download the firmware
International: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/tool-6t-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-oos-9-0-5-t3867448
T-Mo: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/tool-t-mobile-oneplus-6t-msmdownloadtool-t3868916
I would download the T-Mo ROM to incase you need to switch back.
Follow the instructions in the posts for a hassle free installation.Also, you might want to take a look at this thread if you want to remove the SIM lock: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/guide-sim-unlock-t-mobile-version-type-t3915269
You can unlock your SIM, request a token from OnePlus, and then legit unlock your bootloader on the T-Mo software. I am currently using INT software until my legit unlock token gets here.]Oh and as far as the differences between the two, The INT version does not have Google Feed but it does have advanced reboot menu and a couple other minor things.
Also no T-Mo bloat.
OTher than that they are the same.

Ok again thank you for the help, it will be nice to have just one phone that's rooted instead of carrying around two, my main phone and a rooted ZTE Zmax from 2014
I recently purchased a T-Mobile OnePlus 6T. When I purchased it I thought it was the unlocked version but it has T-Mobile bloatware apps and when you turn on the device it says T-Mobile. It's unlocked so it works with Cricket but I kind of don't like all the T-Mobile stuff. Is there a way to just flash a factory unlocked ROM and make it look just like a regular unlocked OnePlus 6T?
Short Answer: Google the exact same thing.
Long Answer: in the Guides section, there is a whole thread dedicated to this. Its a good place to get started.
There is a thread on converting it from T-Mobile branding to international model with a hacked Qualcomm Snapdragon processor tool that bypasses the checks. It's also a huge help for when you accidentally brick it.
I have converted mine so I can say that the tool works (currently running a custom ROM).

You could always root your device, then use root explorer to remove or replace the boot animation. Then use magisk and the magisk deblotter module to remove the offending apps.

Look here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307
I couldn't find a post that clearly stated or answered the question. So the question is, is it possible to flash the international 7T Pro McLaren stock rom to the 5G TMobile version if you don't care about losing 5G?
Not at the moment,no
No you cannot, the MSM tool is hardware specific so at this point there is no way to get around it. I wish we could get a working TWRP for the 7t pro 5g McLaren. On my 7 pro I dirty flashed international system of T-Mobile stock room through TWRP and had dual SIM support. I then added all the bloatware I actually want from T-Mobile and had no problems. I'm hopeful we might, one day, get to do that to these!!!

Thank you for your input. I appreciate that you elaborated on the setbacks. I am also hopeful that we will eventually have twrp and an msm tool. I love this phone and will wait as long as needed.
Thank you for the question. and answer. I was wondering this as well. One day we can get rid of the TMO stuff.
Dang. I just ordered the 7T pro McClaren *yesterday*. I didn't know we couldn't unlock the bootloader until after 60 days. Guess I'll just ask nicely after it arrives...
Any update on this?
Guys,
I have read the whole forum and my understanding is:
My phone is Model HD1925, purchased in B&H.
- there was no option to flash international / stock non t-mobile firmware in 2021 at least. Is it possible to do now?
- if flash international/non t-mobile firmware/rom is not possible, is it a way or need top get rid off from T-Mobile soft ?
- is it another custom ROM which can be installed?
There are several sites, I have found which provide an instructions to flash international firmware, but this is really opposite to xda forum and makes me suspicious.
The phone will be given to a kid, so I prefer to clean it up from unneeded SW and also keep it up to date due to security reasons.
I'm not living in USA and not care about 5G.
The phone is SIM unlocked and bootloader unlocked using OnePlus .bin file.
Current version is 11, April 1, 2022 Update.
Really appreciate your help.
Hey, there. I'm sorry to tell you that you can't do that, because the hardware of 1+7tpro International Edition is very different from that of McLaren special edition. Before your release, I have tried to use the 9008 after-sales firmware of Chinese Version (hd1910) to brush into this phone, but unfortunately, this phone can't work, and even entered Qualcomm's crash mode. My suggestion is to use ADB to freeze all programs related to T-Mobile, so, You can enjoy 5g and later OTA updates.
