Root OnePlus 3T running 7.1.1 Android Nougat and Oxygen 4.1.1. - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hello all.,,
I checked and read many thread slowly and steadily ,but couldn't find a good solution to root this phone 3T.
I just bought this Beautiful Device runing so smooth but with Hands tied too hard unable to run many apps and many ads and Bloatwares..
Thought to Root this device ,but all are mostly either Oxygen 3 or Marshmallow or 7.0. Version of ANdroid..and DW Error,is also a major concern to look out..
So Please help me to root this device running O2 4.1.1 (I literally dont want to change the stock,as of now) and Android 7.1.1 ,some simple steps...
Thanks and Regards
Awaiting for replies!!

I'm about to get this phone so I've been doing a lot of research myself. It looks like you can follow the steps in this thread and you can flash supersu through TWRP once you've unlocked the bootloader.

Unlock bootloader.
Flash TWRP.
Flash your preferred root zip in TWRP (SuperSU or Magisk are two good choices, I prefer Magisk).
That's about it...

i too tried the above method,,But I got struck with Logo of TWRP and got enabled only after 6 Hours.. But to my fate,,i'm still running on Stock recovery.. Not on TWRP !!

Use the latest official TWRP (currently 3.1.0-1). Works just fine.

i can relate to your question.
however, i discovered how to root the 3t and flash the usual zips files the finally the freedom rom, on my own.
it was a thrill.
i advise you to just take the blue pill.

I installed Blusparks Version of TWRP ,,but still no use,,SuperSU or Magisk both says My phone is not rooted!!!!

I want to live the Stock ROM and just to root the device,,But the steps are not futile for me!

What I would do if i was you.
Unlock bootloader
Flash TWRP
Flash latest Magisk 13.2 zip

Hey,
Is this method still valid for rooting the 3T?
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...wrp-root-nandroid-efs-backup-and-more.475142/

Yes, that is still valid, more or less. Might be a more current version of blue_spark's TWRP (official TWRP is on 3.1.1.2) although the link only says 3.1.1-x, so I don't know what that means. But probably won't make a huge difference.
Can't see what version Magisk is linked (my office network is blocking the link). If you choose Magisk, flash latest version 13.3, especially if you want to hide root (from Snapchat, banking apps, etc.). Older versions of Magisk will fail to hide, due to recent changes Google made to SafetyNet.

And what if we want to flash this beta to a brand new device?

Should we first unlock the device, then install the TWRP recovery, then flash this beta rom and then root?

Just can't root this thing somehow

Stock ROM, updated several times in the past. Decided it was time to root it.
Downloaded the latest ROM (OnePlus3TOxygen_28_OTA_027_all_1706272156_5be1658723c44eb4.zip) from OnePlus' official website and sideloaded it with adb.
Set the developer settings on the phone then used the OP3(T) Toolkit to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP.
Boot up phone again to double check, everything seems to work fine. So far so good.
Install SuperSU, no bootloop but it simply freezes a few seconds into the boot animation. Hard reset phone.
Attempt to install no-verity through the toolkit (not sure if I should), reboot, same result.
Tried several times, in between wiping Dalvik/cache but nothing seems to make a difference.
Is the ROM simply not supported or something? This is driving me crazy..
For a phone which manufacturer is supposed to embrace community efforts, this is the only phone that has given me a major headache trying to root it.
I'm out of ideas at this point, maybe someone can tell me what's going on here?
What version of SuperSU? The latest releases have had some issues... If you haven't already, I'd use the latest Service Release. Or if that doesn't work version 2.79 (found here).
For rooting, there's also Magisk to consider and phh's superuser.
Thanks for your input.
The toolkit seems to come with 2.79. Should I just give the latest version a shot and see what happens?
I'm on the latest version of the ROM right now with the bootloader unlocked.
Edit: fixed. SuperSU 2.82 stable worked for me. Thanks again

Official OTA Oreo How Can I Install TWRP and Root?

Hello dear community. Today, i just recieved my OP3T and I am super happy. Since I am a manian with new android versions + root + xposed, what i did is charge my new device and then start experimenting.
Firstly, i used this tool (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/development/toolkit-oneplus-3t-toolkit-unlock-t3507729) to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP.
Then I used some VPN to change my location to Canada, and get the Oreo OTA.
Oreo OTA replaced TWRP, so I did some research to find out if its safe to reinstall TWRP 3.1.1, but i stumbled uppon some contradicting opinions both for TWRP and for Root. In the guides I read, some users commented that it might be very dangerous to either reinstall TWRP and/or supersu, so since I am not a guru, and my technical knowledge is kinda limited, I thought I'd create this thread before doing something stupid.
So, is it safe to reinstall TWRP in the latest Oreo OTA? (ONEPLUS A3003_28_171116)? Which version of TWRP do you suggest?
Is it safe to use the latest supersu?
Also, should i do a factory reset after the update?
I know for sure that xposed is not available for Oreo, so I wont be asking anything for it here.
Thanks in advance!
For Oreo, the latest TWRP is not recommended. You need the bluspark TWRP for Oreo. Here is the link. https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=15934#downloads
Careful, there are two Bluspark TWRP, one for nougat and one for Oreo. Also it is unified for both op3 and op3t
I do not know about SuperSU but the beta version of Magisk works on Oreo. The stable version does not work yet. Here is the link for beta https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589
I am using the beta Magisk and BluSpark TWRP atm. It works fine. I did a clean flash using the full Oreo zip file (1.5gb). I think you can find this as a download on the XDA forum since OnePlus has not put it online yet. DO NOT CLEAN FLASH THE PARITAL OTA.

[HELP] Rooting P10 on Oreo (B360) & EMUI 8.0

Hello, first time here but I need some help.
So I wanted to root my P10 (mainly for Viper) and I started digging around here and there (mostly in XDA). I followed few guides (on how to unlock the bootloader, how to flash TWRP, how to root...) but I still can't pull this off. Anyway, straight to the problem:
So as you can see I'm using P10 on Oreo (B360) and EMUI 8.0. I unlocked the bootloader using ADB & fastboot. Then I flashed this TWRP: link
So far everything went smooth and without any errors. I am able to boot into TWRP. So here I'm stuck trying to flash the root.zip (this one). Whenever I try I get the Error: 1 (as mentioned in the thread), however, I read here in XDA that on Oreo flashing boot.img bricks the phone? I saw several threads of people with bricked phones due to flashing boot.img. My question is - what do I do here?
I looked for other solutions like Magisk but from what I understood Viper4Android doesn't work on it.
Anyone... anything? I'd really appreciate any help.
If it's not possible (even though I've seen people with rooted P10s on Oreo...) is there a way I can revert back the changes I did so I can remove the warning message on bootup and possibly have my warranty back?
you Cant root it yet beacose there is no twrp for emui 8, so look and try some methodes root without TWRP
and why you wanna rooot emui 8, there is nothing for it, yet.
What do you mean? I already said I have TWRP and I'm able to boot into it without problems. I even linked the unofficial TWRP I flashed in my first post. Plus I saw few people here that have rooted P10s on Oreo. And finally all I want to install is Viper.
There is this TWRP by @espaciosalter20 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-emui-8-0-4-04-2018-t3773449
should work, support for data decrpytion...
I used MAGISK 16 to root my OREO EMUI 8.0 P10
-done....
about super root and supersu working on OREO EMUI 8.0 you have to ask in the ROOT thread.
about viper4android i don´t know..i don´t use it.

Can`t get rooted. Twrp isn`t working either

Hi
I recently got a mi mix. Love it so far except the OS. So i figured i would root it and flash lineage on it. I got twrp on it, but the screen froze when it asked for å password to mount it i think. I tried rolling back a few versions, but didnt work either.
Well after that i tried to root the phone (I used fastboot to get twrp installed), but neither of the programs i used worked.
The ones i tried were Kingo Root and Root Genius. Both said that my phone was too solid to root. This is very different from when i rooted my galaxy A5 2016. That was just one click and done.
So what i need help with is either getting twrp working or getting rooted so i can flash through the official twrp app.
All other zips where straight from official sites other than a custom version of twrp
Official TWRP is abandoned, does not work.
Read towards the end of the official TWRP thread, you will find a link to a innofficial version by Blunden-Raupe that works.

Rooting options for the S10 family

I need to get something straight, as I didn't quite get it. So the options for someone who'd like to root his S10 are 3:
1) Rooting with Topjohnwu method: This will get you root on the stock rom, but will keep the default recovery which is pretty much useless if one wanted to flash a custom rom.
2) Rooting with a prepatched version of TWRP and then, if desired, flash any custom rom (compatible with the TWRP version installed). This method is said to be less stable that the previous one.
3) Install TWRP after rooting with john wu method and then using it to flash custom rom.
First of all, is all this correct?
If so, then one has to choose between rooting safely, but keeping his phone stock, or rooting and then installing twrp and then flash whatever he desires.
Hopefully, somebody will be so kind to clarify this that is an unusually complicated situation about rooting this phone! I already regret passing my perfectly rooted S9 to my son
Thanks for whatever help you'll be willing to provide.
Cheers
I would say you summoned it up nicely.
The advantage of stock Magisk root is you can e.g. use Substratum, Magisk modules and update monthly security releases by yourself but, of course, no Custom ROMs.
The advantage of TWRP Magisk root is clearly the Custom ROM possibility but here you cannot update the monthly security releases by yourself and are dependent on the ROM creator to release the security updates.
I had been using Topjohnwu Magisk root on stock rom since released mainly to use Substratum/ some Magisk Modules and did the AP-patching everytime the monthly security was released.
However, doing the November security AP-patching something went wrong and I ended in boot-loop. So thought, as I had to reflash anyway I would try TWRP/ Custom ROM - I went with yash92Duster's lightrom / geiti94's magisk TWRP both which I find very stable.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
One more doubt, if I may ask : once rooted the safe way, if I wanted to install twrp I would need to find the build that is compatible with the already patched firmware on my phone? And then only the roms that are exactly for the same build?
This is the most complicated rooting process that I have ever faced. And I've been rooting my phones and tablets since a very long time
Thanks
