So is Android 12 ready for the OnePlus 7T pro McLaren yet??? Been waiting all year… my phone's starting to do weird things.
You Too! I noticed that as well. I thought I'd was my internet but nope. Lags, freezes, response issues. Incoming Call and WiFi hearing issues. This phone was great at first but updates started coming out for other phones os and T-Mobile is still playing around. At this rate they should just skip 12 and boost us to 13. Makes no sense for T-Mobile to send out 12 when it's been out since 2021 already and feets are dragging this long. Only reason why I haven't tried rooted and replaced is stability, camera function, and encryption. Any solutions or options since we might not be getting an update?
BTW I've got the 7TPro. McLaren edition
Hey all! I know everyone is looking on a clear-cut expectation of when the Android 12 update is coming. I did some digging and was able to get confirmation that development work is still being done and expected release is December 2022.
I know that is still a while away, and if you are having issues now, that may not be the most helpful. We have some other troubleshooting things that can be done in order to fix software hiccups like you are seeing. Before I start making suggestions, what steps have you already taken to try and resolve the issues you are seeing? @TCBelly @ZetaRayZed13

I”m a little vague on searching XDA for “OP7T Pro Mclaren Android 12 EU.”
Is there a link to the appropriate thread?I don't know if it was ever updated to Android 12 but it had more frequent updates in the first year or so of its launch. Looking in the Guides section, the forum seems to have died back in the summer of 2020 outside of a few threads.

Is there a link to the appropriate thread?Some devices can slow down over time. This isn't so much update related as it is app data and cached data that builds up over time. The easiest way to get your device feeling snappy again is with a factory reset after backing up your photos, contacts, and anything else you wouldn't want to lose.
Although I don't have a 7T Pro McClaren on my desk. My girlfriend's OnePlus 7 Pro, which is still on Android 11 still feels almost as snappy as the day she got it. My 7 Pro is in the box and hasn't been used since the beta for Android 11 FUT testing. The lack of slowdown over time is why my girlfriend still uses the 7 Pro. Her prior device was a Samsung S9+.
The OnePlus 8T+ 5G I mostly use felt the snappiest on Android 11 although still feels quite fast on Android 13. It did feel a bit sluggish on Android 12 and the issues with Android 12 had me roll it back to Android 11 until the Android 13 beta 1 was released. My device is actually still running the Android 13 beta 1 and is almost as snappy as it was on Android 11.
Neither of us use a lot of apps though, no social media apps at all on our devices, and yet they still perform well compared to today's flagship devices. Even if you don't notice any slowdown or performance issues with your device after years of use. A factory reset is still always recom mended after every major OS update.
Eliminado
It has been a while since I have looked at the updates. From what I remember, the 5G models could flash the 4G update but would lose 5G. The EU had a 5G version as well that was updated more than the T-Mobile version.

All hardware for devices pre 9 models were the same regardless of region. So all OnePlus 7T Pro McClaren editions are the same hardware. The difference in the region is purely software outside of the radio firmware, which isn't flashable without extreme measures. OnePlus devices are also incredibly hard to brick. The MSM Tool is the best solution for soft bricking recovery and returning to 100% stock from custom ROM's but is also widely used as a conversion tool.
Ultimately, if they choose to go the flash route to the global firmware. It is their choice and their choice alone. The walk-throughs do have disclaimers, many successful posts, questions and answers, and just about everything anyone would need to make the best decision for @BugPlusWont, you are quick to judge anything you know nothing about!

OnePlus allows bootloader unlocks officially as long as your device is permanently SIM unlocked. You need to request the bootloader unlock token directly through OnePlus Support. No custom ROM's needed!
All Nexus and Pixel devices allow bootloader unlocking as long as the device isn't SIM locked.
I haven't seen any sort of censorship here. If you break the rules, expect to be moderated! The same rules apply to everyone that posts in the T-Mobile Community.

It is possible. OnePlus devices, like Samsung's, are easy to flash. The only thing you can't change in the OnePlus device though, is the bands it supports. That means, flashing it to Global/NA, EU, In, or China will not change what bands the device can use.
XDA has tutorials and hundreds of pages of successful posts on how to convert the device. Whether or not.you want to even consider attempting that, is entirely up to you. Whatever firmware you convert to will still get OTA's normally, if there are any left for that specific firmware.
When it comes to flashing, it requires a bit of patience and some through reading. I have been successfully flashing devices since the days of the Sidekick 4G and Galaxy Nexus. If you are interested in seeing what it will involve, visit XDA-Developers Oneplus 7T Pro McClaren forum.
