I've seen a bunch of people asking about getting the One Plus 7 Pro working on Visible Wireless network and thought I would share what has worked for me in case anyone is still looking for a solution.
Some specifics first, I have a OP 7 Pro, GM1917, that's the global version I think? YMMV
Currently running Derpfest 12, mainly because I like how android 12 looks and feels. Still looking for something better since devs haven't released an update since may.
What I have noticed is that OOS version 10.0.2 works with Visible Wireless out of the box, while later versions do not. Seems somewhere after that version that OOS updates broke Visible support.
I first noticed this because I bought the phone off swappa, wanting to upgrade from the crappy Visible Midnight I got to see if I get good service in my area. After installing a custom rom and then using MSM to reflash latest stock when something broke, Visible wasn't working. Which didn't make sense. It had worked before. right? So my thinking was that the original owner had owned the phone long enough to OTA from 10 to 11. Sure enough, downgrading to 10 and then using OTA to upgrade fixed the issue.

So here's my process.
Enable unsigned drivers support for your PC, download and install qualcomm EDL driver.
Backup phone, of course.
Put phone in EDL mode. Run MSM tool with guacamole_21_O.22_191107_repack
OTA update from local file, OnePlus7ProOxygen_21.P.43_OTA_0430_all_2204061153_a32bd850d41a490c.zip (Might work with latest OTA zip, havent tried.)
That will give you OOS 11, almost latest (I think there's like one more update to stable from there, but I'm lazy) with working Visible support.
Alternatively, if you want to make sure that you get legit OOS and not have to rely on zips from the internet, just let OTA update you to latest like normal, or use Oxygen Updater app.
From there, do whatever. Install TWRP, ROM, Magisk, etc.
Keep the files around somewhere so that if something goes wrong, you have everything prepared to fix it on hand.
Enjoy
I've managed to get visible sim working on all A12 roms using a few methods. Downloading an app that adds APN settings if the rom doesn't let you. Then typing in all the apn settings from this reddit post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Visible/comments/ehdeik
For dun apn type, I used DUN all capitalized and it seems to work fine.
Then this is the key step: swapping the sim card between the two sim slots and restarting the phone repeatedly until it properly recognizes the sim card. If that doesn't work then inserting a different random sim, in my case I inserted my old tmobile sim, then taking it out and putting back the visible sim and switching sim slots if needed.
I'm using a GM1915, tmobile version that's been permenantly unlocked thanks to an xda member called mobbdeep.
right, I'd seen that, but i only have an old tacfone sim that's no longer active. does the sim have to be active for it to work? also, doesn't that need to be done every time you reboot the phone? that seems kind of annoying lol. especially since I reboot my phone sometimes like 2-3 times a day when it refuses to lock onto band 66.

Any old sim should work, my tmobile sim isn't active but forces my phone to change bands. It's also just a one time thing.

I updated my moto x4 from Oreo to pie using flash using boot loader. my boot loader is still locked and software status is official too. It still is unable to update to January security update. Please help !!
yes I have also facing same issue... i have also try by safe mode but shows something not right .... reconnecting to server... might be Moto update Services try to connect moto server which has not able to connect due some issue in server... hope so this is issue...
you can connect to moto support team let me know what they are say for this issue.
They told to reset and try again.. to do that I got to backup my data which LL take time.. so on hold as of now
Yup, same here. I got the Android 1 Google Fi model (Bootloader unlocked, unrooted). I'll try again in a week and see if it resolves itself.
And another ~ bought 2, mine showed the update 3 days before my wife's but won't start (download and install now, via wifi only and it reverts back to the settings screen). She got the notification last night and it took first try. First time I've had this issue in the 4 months I've had the phone, just glad I'm not alone here....
Since you're official/fully stock, there's not really any alternatives besides factory reset or await for full image is available to manually flash via fastboot method. You do not need to unlock long as you stick with motorola firmwares. Links in FAQs thread.
Nothing new here? Mine keeps nagging me to do the update, start it and it shows getting to 17% on step 3 of 6, then just kicks me back out to the setting screen.
This is my first android phone (from a flip), couldn't get lineageos to work with my provider (RedPocket) and have neutered as much of the google crap as possible. Right on down to disabling all permissions for Play Store. Could that be part of my issue?
It has been nagging me since last few weeks, no solution apparently
New Update:
Could actually able to fix the issue by installing a vpn and set it as a USA based server.
My phone was bought in US and I was using it elsewhere. After using an USA based IP it downloaded the update and voila.
Has anyone had any luck getting data/voice working on GSI on Verizon? I recently have tried flashing Phhusson's generic Android 10 image as well as the latest Pixel Experience android 10 GSI images. They both seem to run much better than stock. I didn't really see any bugs off hand to speak of in the system. The main problem I am having is that I am unable to get signal on Verizon. I have even tried the 9.0 builds and still come up short on data. However, I was able to receive a phone call when I was on the 9.0 GSI.
Things I have tried: I placed the apn_config file from stock in System/ETC, but it didn't seem to do anything. I also placed the IMS.apk in the Priv-app directory without luck. I also used the Phone info code to change the different phone info options. Does anyone have any advice on getting data working? I saw that some actually had it going on 9.0.
i have tried about a dozen on my one plus nord n200 5g unlocked. i have a verizon sim and cannot get anything to work. unable to test with att sim. could be sim locked.
Hi everyone,
Need some serious help please,
I have a xqat52, bought in January 21.
In the UK, on three the handset would not go into 5G.
After reading up, I decided to flash xq-at51 successfully to the UK rom. Everything was working lovely...
Received OTA updates and never had issues with updates or Google.
Device was certified and google pay and bank apps work fine.
2 weeks ago I received ota update and since then my device is no longer certified.
1 week ago received another ota now build 58.1.A.5.507 and device is still not certified.
I tried experia companion full repair with no luck, still same issue.
I sent the handset to Sony Uk for repair, and they factory reseted it back to stock XQat 52, but the device still shows as not certified and bank app and google pay no longer works,
at this point I am thinking in rooting my device and use magisk....
my bootloader is locked, never unlocked (i checked and so did Sony) but I am able to unlock it...
what do you guys think I should do, I want it to be a XQat51 for Uk and have it certified or rooted hidden.
any advise will be really appreciated, and this will bring back memories of rooting android when i had my HTC and where it all started
Thanks in advance
Update.
Went the rooted way. Not looking back.
Not so simple, but we'll worth it
Plenty of google search.
Android Kitchen which I didn't use before
Didn't really have a choice to get my 1ii working properly again.
All repairs / flash stock did not help no matter what I flashed UK / eu dual Sim / single Sim
Back to full stock from Sony HK version still didn't help
My android is now how I want it.
Shame on Sony for not helping and still waiting for a response.
Google store device now certified again.
Google pay working again.
All banks working
Fingerprint working
Netflix l3 not l1 but I don't use anyway.
Cinema Pro and photo Pro working
4k creator mode and Sony dynamic vibration working
Full root permission and able to customise like I use to when I 1st started with kitkat
Android is going down the apple way unfortunately, not so open anymore...
Good luck to anyone doing the same,

I'm glad for you.
I just bought a second hand XQ-AT51, and didn't noticed when I bought it that the Wi-fi and Bluetooth are not working.
And also that the bootloader is unlocked, and it seems that fast charging is not working.
Everything works fine as far as I see (camera, features).
I don't know what the previous owner did.
I didn't find anybody saying about Wi-fi and Bluetooth not working after Bootloader unlock/root Xperia 1 ii.
I tried locking bootloader and Xperia Companion software repair, same version 58.1.A.5.507 (as I see the latest) before repair and after.
Nothing changed.
Then I unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp as recovery (probably not necessary in my case) and flashed the stock software with Flashtool, latest (the same as before) from xperifirm. But I got some messages some things didn't flashed (didn't save the message).
Still the same.
Do you have any idea about DRM keys needed (as I know older Xperias pretty much lost the camera without backup and restore to some files)
Or do you have any "spare" backup files that I might need and work for different devices?
Thanks!

I flashed xq-at51 from Xperia with flasher.
I don't think drm will affect Bluetooth or WiFi?
Mine are lost anyway, once bootloader unlocked its gone! I was prepare to loose them.
Connectivity issues you mention I
Never had that problem despite locking unlocking bootloader and flashing various rom xqat52 HK or Asian and xq-at51 UK and EU.
Might be something else you are experiencing on the phone directly , run a sony test through the app "support" it has a connectivity section. Might give you a better idea before flashing anything else.
I think you can also do it via phone codes *#.......
Google it, it will enter service menu, you can test your handset this way too.
Thanks for the suggestions, I didn't think of trying Support.
But forgot to say, in the Settings at About it says MAC address unavailable for both Wi-fi and BT.
With code *#*#4636#*#* it says Wi-fi Mac address 02:00:00:00.....
As I found some older forums for other devices with about the same issue and being from flashing not proper firmware, I honestly don't know what's going on, since I flashed the stock firmware again, maybe some files are not flashed again because I'm flashing over the same firmware.
Hopefully, I will find a solution.

Latest ver of flasher ? V52
With flasher, if I remember correctly
I chose command a android reboot
N to dump (did once the 1st time as a backup)
I did choose partition persist
No to everything else.
Maybe try and repair with companion make sure it gets back to factory stock rom with correct variant.
Do a factory reset within the phone
(I know I did several, after each flash)
Then reflash with flasher, also might be worth redownloading a clean rom and put in a new folder, so it's clean and not changed.
Add flasher (latest) to that folder and do another clean install.
The rapair tool from Sony failed few times on me, not sure why, but sony software somehow still knew my Xperia 1ii was originally a xq-at52 and would not repair / so I had to flash using flasher xq-at52 stock rom, then repair then flash back using flasher to xq-at51.
Sony repair if successful is your best bet... Once repaired properly you can do it again and again.
I just realised you mention flash tool, use flasher. Exe no issues...
Download from Xperia firm your rom. (always the same or higher)
Downloader flasher (latest)
Few files to copy straight into the same folder as the extracted Xperia firm folder.
Run the flasher. Exe
Follow instructions
Should flash everything correctly.
I bootloop mine and bricked few times...
Flasher rebooted it every time.

Thanks, I didn't knew about newflasher.
But I see that it's skipping persist (flashtool was also skipping persist)
Skipping persist_X-FLASH-ALL-2389.sin
And also
Skipping partition-image-LUN0_124936192_X-FLASH-ALL-2389.sin
And I read somewhere that it's skipping .sin that are not matching.
But maybe if I flash them I will solve my issue.
As I see older versions have the options to write or skip. Did you write it? If I write it I will lose attest keys? Because at mine it says Android Attest Key Provisioned after relocking the bootloader, but was Not Provisioned before.
I guess I have to backup persist.sin if I want to flash it and for that I need to root.
Do you think that flashing persist might solve my issues? Or it will give me more issues
Good Day and Peace and Blessings to everyone here.
My problem is that my daughter's phone (Redmi Note 9) has been giving trouble with recognising the dual sim and memory card tray, this happened some time after purchase and it's first update to MIUI 12. Normally this would happen when the phone was restarted, the tray would have to be popped out and re-inserted and then the tray would become functional.
Recently when it updated to MIUI Version 13.0.2.0 Global Stable (SJOMIXM) it has completely stopped recognising the Sim and memory card Tray, you could see it appear and disappear as if trying to work before there's n error message about the .com.phone something not functioning and then it would shutdown and restart in the recovery mode.
Nothing seems to fix this issue so I'm stuck with a phone that I cannot use, I would like to know if there's a way to troubleshoot this issue or if there's a way to install another rom for this phone to function.
I'm familiar with troubleshooting phones but this one has been challenging me for some time now. I've read that there has been an issue with the sims not being recognised and that this new update was supposed to fix it, unfortunately it hasn't.
So far the best I can tell or think is that some of the firmware was corrupted, so I'm wondering if there's a way to completely wipe the phone and reinstall all software to somehow get rid of the problem.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Trinisweethand from T&T
Make sure the bootloader is unlocked and USB debugging enabled. Download the Mi Flash tool and an older MIUI from Xiaomi's website or from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/merlin/. I'm not an expert in firmware and ROMs. I just flashed my RN9 with a well-maintained ROM and just never looked back at MIUI. Also, try testing out the earpiece and the proximity sensor if the screen turns off once you cover the top. It could be that the IMEI numbers got lost. Try opening the dialer and enter *#06#, you should see a popup showing your S/N and IMEI numbers.
I was wondering if one of you beautiful coders can point me in the right direction.
So i manged to get it booted running, making phone calls, updating fine. However, I can't connect toany wifi network, it just saves it without attempting to make a connection and mobile data only works when plugged in usb tethering, im assuming thats because it triggers a service and assigns itself an ip address, as soon as i disconnect usb cable it drops data.
So im on a sm-n950f greatlte Exynos
I have a tiny crack on the corner of my screen every other rom ive tried doesnt wake up the screen cause of it, this is the only rom that i can unlock/wake my screen up like normal.
With bootloader unlocked and twrp already installed
i patched Treble project convert dot zip via TWRP 3.7
Then flashed twrp 3.3 Reboot back into TWRP
Flashed no verify (Some reason it won't install on later twrp)
Flashed RevOSLavender's Miui 12GSI Rom (Tried flashing it with 3.7, got boot loop)
Then installed treble's vendor dot zip
Then flashed RevOSLavender again, some reason theres 2 system image partition, sometimes, really depends which twrp i used to flash the convert zip, so i flashed it again because this time it gave the option to flash both partition.
Rebooted into Miui, took about 10mins the first time

Credit goes to the owner, i played no part doing anything
Update, not sure what I did, but I clicked on some random file while browsing in root explorer and it executed/extracted a bunch of random things which knocked out my root access but got WiFi working, just need to figure out the mobile data portion if anyone has a clue,
I'm on a sm-n950f greatlte Exynos
Ok I got the mobile data working, I think I've figured it out. I signed into the Xiaomi account from my mi note 10 which for some reason can't make outgoing calls. So while flashing and running random scripts, I some how got xiaomi's provisioning frameworks script to work? Because it just keeps on trying to sync data, only problem now is to get the complete miui experience it needs a 2 step SMS verification to keep get their awesome skins, themes, and other settings. Yeh cause it was trying to sync with my old fone, it sent me all the hidden apps and services it normally configures after flashing/resetting
ok so this is what happens when it tries to activate your simcard / services. But you have an invalid device id /IMEI
