on 4.0.2 unable to root - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

I just updated and when I did I realized I lost my root access so I tried to reinstall the Supersu binaries I had and none of them worked. Either they worked in twrp or they caused me to be stuck at the loading screen with the 2 dogs spinning.
I've googled for hours and finally got a working unrooted phone but I like having root. None of the supersu binaries I have found work. I've tried d
Some from 2016 and the latest one.
Can anyone link me to a supersu Binary that works?

Use the OnePlus 3T toolkit...

Can't install TWRP after updating to Nougat

I recently updated my EVA-L09 to Android 7.0. Before that, I was rooted and I had TWRP. After I updated, I obviously would need to install TWRP and root again, but when I install it with SRK Tool or even with fastboot, it always goes back to stock recovery. I already tried to flash it by "recovery.img" as well.

that would be because the TWRP in SRK Tools is only for android 6 (EMUI 4.1 - 4.1.1) and not for android 7 (EMUI 5 - 5.1)
the recovery that you need to use in order for twrp to be installed is this one https://github.com/OpenKirin/android_device_huawei_eva/releases/download/3.1.0/twrp-3.1.0-0-eva.img
then once its installed boot up your phone and then type in "adb reboot recovery" and that will then boot your device into TWRP 3.1.0.0
Thank you, it worked!
Another question, but now related to SuperSU.
I am with the 2.79 version of SuperSU and I downloaded the binary .zip of this version and flashed it by twrp. The problem is that it keeps saying ""There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!".
I already got it to work. Thanks btw

Could you post how perhaps? I had the same problem as you - the TWRP posted about fixed my first problem but now I can't get SuperSU to install either. Would be interested to know how you fixed it!

I solved it by this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70927601&postcount=456
I ended up not using super su but If you want you can use it instead of the one suggested there
By flashing the file provided in the post, I managed to automatically get access to super user (root)

There is no SU binary installed. Help

My device is BLU Dash X2 ( D110L ) running android 6.0 with Kernel Version 3.18.19.
It's an MTK phone ( MT6580 ).
I managed to port and flash TWRP custom recovery by myself and it's working find. So I decided to flash SuperSU.zip with it. Everything seem to be working perfectly but after the flashing finished and I tried to open SuperSU app a message pop up with text "There is no SU binary Installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem. If you just upgraded to android 5.0 you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!".
Please help me find a solution. I tried many version of SuperSU.zip already but the same message still appear. I also tried remove SuperSU app first before re-flash SuperSU.zip. I even tried to perform a clean stock rom flash before flashing latest SuperSU.zip and it's still the same.
I have the same phone, also managed to port TWRP, working fine after edit fstab, but no way I can root this device.
Tried with phh s SuperUser instead supersu, but no avail.
My biggest regret was buy this fone, it works fine but seems impossible to root.
Sorry for late update, you can root this device with magisk, successfully done with magisk v18.00

Super su Root Undetected

I have just updated supersu through the play store and am now getting "Root Undetected " when I open the app. My phone is a Galaxy gt i9305 running a stock based TouchWiz 4.4.4 rom any suggestions please?
So I had to restore a backup which uses the previous SuperSu 2.79 and all is well again. Looking at the reviews on Google play store I'm not the only one having problems with version 2.80. Will this problem be getting sorted anytime soon because this is an important app for me and my confidence in using it is draining fast.
There is a version 2.81 on Google playstore right now (although it's still saying v2.80) which works fine again for me.
Same deal here. Pretty upsetting, I don't have a backup handy. Does anyone have a link to the 2.79 version that can be flashed in TWRP? If I find it first I'll post it here for others' convenience.
Yes I had same problem just 10 min ago
But I downloaded the zip of new version reflashed it ,works perfect

This one is not working for me! Just like the latest 2.8! I flash it on four devices! one fails the other three claim it was successful but there is NO SuperSu on any of the devices that I tried flashing it on with TWRP! I cannot give apps root access and it is like a device that is not rooted that was rooted before!
Anything else to try??

I installed this version. It's not working.
Thing is you install 2.79 with TWRp, after reboot. I used Root Checker Basic and Root Checker, they say no root. If you try to open SuperSu app, it will update to version 2.8. Same problem no root.
I am using Asus Zenfone ze552kl
Having the same problem on my cm14.1.....is there a solution?
Same here bro. I tried all supersu zip version 2.67 to 2.82 sr5. Version 2.82 says root undetected and below this version says supersu can't install su binary. I tried to install su binary but it says no su binary.

TWRP and root are gone

Question for those you you way smarter than I'll ever hope to be. I randomly lost root and TWRP on my 3T and I have no idea how this happened.
Quick (or not so quick) background - I was stock rooted OOS 4.1.6. I disabled AdAway for a bit yesterday to gain access to something it was blocking (done it many times) and when I re-enabled it my phone was stuck in a boot loop afterwards. Weird, but not concerning. I booted into TWRP and restored a backup. OOS 4.1.3 was my latest backup, so after successfully loading that up, I flashed the full 4.1.6 OTA and SuperSu as I've done before to update. Worked fine. Was adding my preferred mods via Substratum and Magisk and I messed up. Couldn't get Substratum to work properly and couldn't get Magisk to update to 13.1. I verified I had root, which I did. Went back to TWRP and reflashed 4.1.6 and SuperSU. When my phone was up and running again I didn't have root. Weird, so I tried again, still couldn't get SuperSU to flash properly. Got frustrated and figured I haven't had a clean install since getting the device in January. Every update I've flashed via TWRP has been dirty. So, factory reset, blah, blah, blah. Done it plenty of times with many devices. Flashed the OTA and SuperSu again, but noticed SuperSu failed. Rebooted recovery to try again, but it went to the stock recovery. My phone is working fine now, but I'm without root and I no longer have TWRP.
What might have caused this to happen? And how can I avoid it in the future? I know how to get it back (I'll do it after work) but it's frustrating.
What version of TWRP are you using? A few of the past versions have been having problems.
If you're already using Magisk anyways, just flash the Magisk zip and use that as your rooting solution. IIRC, the more recent versions of Magisk are no longer compatible with SuperSU anyways.

I was using 3.0.4-1. Never had an issue before. But after I factory reset my phone and clean flashed the 4.1.6 update I ended up with the stock recovery. Unless I'm mistaken, I can't flash Magisk until I have TWRP again. I know how to get it back, I was more curious as to how this may have happened in the first place. What would have caused my root and custom recovery to disappear?

My mistake, I meant to ask SuperSU version, not TWRP. If SuperSU failed to root your phone after dirty flashing OOS (even if there was not error message), OOS will replace your recovery with the stock one.

I was using version 2.8.2. Regardless, you answered my question as to how it happened in the first place, so thanks.

Can't root my Mi8 with Magisk v18.0 with working TWRP 3.2.3-1208

Hi,
I need some help
Today I successfully installed the newest stable Xiaomi.eu-ROM on my finally unlocked Mi8, using TWRP from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-1110-t3869729
TWRP is working flawlessly, but I didn't succeed in making root with Magisk to work.
What I did:
- I booted into TWRP
- formatted data
- rebooted back into TWRP
- flashed DM-verity disabler from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
- flashed Magisk v18.0 right after from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
- wiped dalvik cache
- rebooted the phone
But everytime I did it, I didn't had root access (checked with Root Checker app) when the phone finally booted up to MIUI 10.1.2.0 (PEACNFI).
I even didn't have Magisk Manager showed up.
Can you tell me what I did wrong? I don't have a clue
Thanks a lot and best regards
Mischa
what does magisk manager tell you about your magisk installation status?
Strange thing...
After I rebooted the phone, there was no Magisk Manager nor the phone was rooted, what I checked with Root Checker app.
Then I used it a couple minutes before it became really laggy. My chosen theme disappeared back to stock theme, scrolling was nearly impossible and the screen went black.
I was not able to wake up the display again, so I held down the power button a couple seconds until the phone rebooted.
Now I saw that the Magisk Manager was installed, without me doing anything else than rebooting after the phone got unusable.
Weird, right? I read that there might be lags after installing Magisk, but that it's going to be like that was surprising.
Anyway, I have root now, TWRP works, Magisk v18 is installed. Now I only have to find some must-have-modules, e.g. like stereo-mod.
BTW, could it be that Netflix isn't working on rooted phones? I always get error 14 saying that the Netflix-service is not reachable even though I have internet connection.
hey dude i know this isnt a guide
but i followed your kind of direction after spending the whole afternoon and few hours in the evening to figure how to root this phone and finally it worked (so far)
thanks a lot my man
and i didnt even format after flashing twrp i hope it didnt **** up my phone
