*** Use this at your very own risk.
*** You will lose all data
*** Backup your working modemst1/2 and persist. If you lose these for any reason, it's unique to your device and not recoverable if you didn't back up (via MSM or other people).
*** Read the entire post and follow the steps closely before asking for help. Post all error messages and steps you took. If you just ran a bunch of unknown commands, I would tell you to MSM.
*** Know how to use the MSMTool, Don't start before figuring it out. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/op9pro-repository-of-msm-unbrick-tools-tmo-glo-in.4272549/
*** DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH ANY STEP DESCRIBED IN THIS GUIDE

General notes:
  • NR and LTE bands are read only and not modifiable, not in modem.img or any other partition. You cannot get global bands by flashing a global ROM, nor can you lose TMO bands by flashing another ROM.
  • If you wish to unlock the bootloader without unlock_code.bin, you MUST do it from OOS11. If you upgrade to OOS12/OOS13, you will need the unlock_code.
  • The T-Mobile NON-HLOS is no longer necessary as of OOS13 release. If you must stay on OOS11 or OOS12, make a backup of the T-Mobile modem partition for the OOS version you want to stay on.
  • Dual-SIM does not work.
Prerequisites:
  • This conversion will not SIM unlock you. You can only SIM unlock on a T-Mobile ROM, meaning if you want to do that in the future, you must go back to a TMO ROM (and wipe)
  • Familiarity with MSMDownload tools. If the regular MSM tool doesn't work for you, turn back now.
  • Back up all data, it will be wiped.
Download:Steps:
  1. Run the MSM file normally.
  2. Unlock your bootloader if necessary. Now is the time if you don't have unlock.bin
  3. Patch up to Android 13 while on Wifi if your mobile data doesn't work. Use this time to go to another variant (GLO, IN, etc) as needed.
Fastboot method:

Instructions to Bootloader Unlock a SIM locked device:


Issues so far (please post if you run into more):
  • If your mobile data doesn't work on OOS13, PM me details including HW Revision in About Phone.
What appears to work:
  • Everything else.
Much appreciation for everyone that help develop and test
