Hello Everyone!
Thank you for taking the time to review my inquiry.
The bootloader is locked for the S7 Snapdragon versions. Am I able to use Magisk v11.1/MagiskSU to root my device without needing to flash the bootloader? And if so, what are those steps? I'd really appreciate the guidance. Thank you for your time. :fingers-crossed:
You need an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery (TWRP, cwm,philz, etc) to use Magisk.
Thanks for the info! I appreciate it. :highfive:
Is it possible to use flashfire to flash?

If you're already rooted with SuperSU or MagiskSu, sure. Note that Magisk v13 will drop SuperSU compatibility.

Hello Gentlemen,
I've recently got a OP3T running OOS 4.1.6 and i've been wanting to unlock the bootloader and root it. I've done my bit of a research and i'm little confused on what version of TWRP and SuperSU should i be using ? Do i still need to do the DM-Vertity bit? I'm considering just flashing:
TWRP: twrp-3.1.1-2-oneplus3t.img
SuperSU: SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip
Would anyone be kind enough to point me to the latest guide for OP3T for OOS 4.1.6 ? Apologies,if this has been asked before.
Thanks!
Unlock your bootloader with fastboot oem unlock, then flash this version of TWRP:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0pr-ZA5b-1peEVyVmpsbGZTbnM/view
Then you can flash either SuperSU: https://download.chainfire.eu/1113/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.82-20170528234214.zip
Or Magisk (which I'd personally reccomend): http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk

Thanks mate. How is that TWRP you mentioned different from the other one for OP3T ?
Do i also need to flash the dm-verity disabler or is it not required if i flash the latest TWRP/SuperSU ?

Could you link me to the TWRP you found? And I didn't have to flash dm-verity disabler while flashing it on my 3T with 4.1.6. Just be aware that all personal data is lost when the bootloader is unlocked.

I'm not sure of the exact differences, but I think the blu_spark one I sent you might have fixed the dm-verity issues. I know that the one I sent you has no problems with dm-verity, so I'd go with that one just to be safe. There seem to be a lot of people bricking their phones by flashing the wrong one and I know this one works because I just flashed it yesterday.

It seems quite straightforward.

Typically, you want to use the latest files available. So in this case, yes that would be TWRP 3.1.1-2 and SuperSU 2.82 (or alternately Magisk 13.3, totally a matter of preference SuperSU versus Magisk).
There are some cases, where a new version may have some bugs. But I haven't heard of any of these particular versions.
Using versions that are a little bit older may still work. But anything that is too old, will sometimes cause problems. Especially when Android versions have changed, root methods updated, etc.
Thanks folks, i've unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. After flashing the recovery it was asking me for the password and it couldn't access the internal storage. I flashed dm verity and Magisk via sideload though.
Now, I'm wondering what ROM do i try ? I'm looking at Freedom OS + Franco / ElementalX. I need a OOS based rom with a good battery backup. Any suggestions would be appreciated
I am currently running OOS Open Beta 17 on my OnePlus 3t (Android O) and I am unable to use Android Pay because it says my device is either rooted, running a custom ROM or has an unlocked bootloader. I really need to use Android Pay. Any help appreciated. Cheers!

Well, maybe because your phone is either rooted or your bootloader is unlocked ?
If you are using SuperSU, I think you can't use Android Pay: you might need to use Magisk to bypass SafetyNet and use Android Pay.
As Magisk isn't compatible with Android Oreo for now, you can't use Android Pay while you are rooted.

I haven't rooted my phone yet. But yes, my bootloader is unlocked. Can I get it working by locking my bootloader? And in case I do that, will future updates over OTA work?

You don't need an unlocked bootloader to run Open Beta. So there is no reason to think that OTA would be affected by locking it.
Be aware, I believe locking bootloader will wipe the phone.
Looks like Magisk is my only option. I just rooted my phone using superSU. Can anyone help me with a Magisk rooting guide (for OOS open beta Oreo)?

Here you go;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/magisk-oxygen-os-8-0-op3-3t-t3689901
I'm not exactly sure if the boot image comes from a verified source or if the changes are non malicious, but many users on that thread confirm that the Boot image is from a pre open beta package. Try this method at your own risk.
Cheers!
You can use SuperSu SR5 with suHide to pass safety net. SuHide - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/suhide-lite-t3653855/page64
SuHide doesn't work, checked yesterday. Even though it does hide root from Android Pay, it cannot hide bootloader's unlocked status.

Is there a risk associated with running on SElinux permissive mode 24/7, or is it not unusual for people to do so? Does a regular Magisk installation, on Android N for example, change your SElinux mode to permissive?
Thanks.

There is a risk on running an system with Permissive SELinux, and it's considered a bug when it's Permissive in a ROM.
And nope, a normal installation via any custom recovery, or via ADB, of Magisk will not change your SELinux mode.
Hello
I've been thinking about rooting my OnePlus 3T.
I remember rooting my Samsung Galaxy Y with an update package. Is there anything like that available for the OnePlus 3T?
It would be much easier to just do an update than flashing a custom recovery like TWRP.
Thanks in advance
Edit: I know how to root my phone but i'm looking for easier methods.
No, you have to flash proper zips via TWRP.
Flashing custom recovery is as easy as flashing zip, you just do it using a PC.
I recommend Magisk as root solution.

U need a PC with adb drivers and to unlock the bootloader first in order to flash a custom recovery and then to root.

This is just a simple patched boot.img so you can re-do magisk after the update to 9.0.7 if you don't care for bothering with TWRP.
Instructions are the same as the others:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot patched_boot-9.0.7.img
Open the Magisk Manager App and click install. When prompted, choose Direct Install.
Profit!

If you Need Magisk Manager, you can grab it from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v6.0.1/MagiskManager-v6.0.1.apk
Thanks! Works like a charm
Thank you sir. Got me back rooted after the local upgrade to 9.0.7 on my tmo variant
Glad it helped!

Can either grab it from the Payload.bin file after extraction, or use dd to pull it.

It works fine on the T-Mobile or International.
In almost every case things will work on both unless otherwise noted.
@Dameon87 is there any way you could possibly throw an OOS 9.0.7 stock kernel zip together if it's not too much to ask?
Thanks!
I'll stick with the TWRP method.. after this messed up my phone with no internet at all in wifi or modem I had to go hunt down stock boot image.

So you had the t-mob variant.
then you unlocked bootloader and flashed 9.0.6 giving you the international variant.
How did you upgrade to 9.0.7?? Surely not OTA right?

I have a question.. nothing to do with this thread. I tried making my own thread but the xda app won't let me.. however here is my question.. I just tried updating my greenify module for magisk and it said install fails.. reason is because my API is 28 and the max should be 27??? It also told me to downgrade to a different Android.... Anyone ever year such a thing?? And is there a fix for this???

You should address your issue on the greenify4magisk thread. The dev posted explaining the reason for the issue you encounter at the last page. I don't think greenify is needed for OnePlus 6T. 1+6T has a feature called Adaptive Battery which looks like it trying to do the same thing as greenify.

No, locked bootloader on that model. There used to be SamFail for root, but I believe it's been patched by Samsung through firmware updates.
Ok, thanks, I already have it rooted through samfail from when I first got it. (I never update unless it is buying a new phone) I was just hoping i could get twrp after so long. Thanks
