Is it possible to root OnePlus 3T without unlocking bootloader?
I was thinking maybe boot twrp through fastboot boot twrp.img then flash the supersu file without unlocking bootloader or flahing twrp.
I just want to root.
Will i recieve OTA update if this method works?
Will this method work?

No. That's no possible. You need an unlocked bootloader or else your phone wouldn't boot after flashing TWRP if it even makes it that far.

I was talking about booting twrp not flashing it
I don't think you would be able to flash SuperSU as it isn't signed, even if you do manage to boot into TWRP.

Is there a method that has been released yet?
Unlock your bootloader, flash TWRP and then flash Supersu. Very simple to root a dev device.

Is there away to brute force root? I'd like to root before I unlock my boot loader, so I can back everything up before the wipe. :-\

You may be able to use SlapMyMoto. Not sure though.
Go to this thread and follow directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534850. Once you install the recovery, it will root your device for you.
If you have a Dev edition device why not unlock your boot loader first since it will wipe everything just get it over with. Flash your twrp and make your stock back up. Then let twrp install root. Done. If you are worried about losing anything from unlocking the bootloader then back it up to your PC. If you want a complete stock set up of your device then you have stock fast boot images for your Dev edition device and don't have to worry about that.
This post also might help has some links to tools you will need, some instructions, and video if needed.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48447283&postcount=150
Hey everyone
I've recently solved my OTA problem (seen here) but I soon discovered yet another problem.
When I tried to enter SuperSU, I received the following error shown below.
As mentioned before, I'm on 4.4.2 and I have NO desire whatsoever to unlock my bootloader all over again. Is there anyway to re-root my phone without unlocking my bootloader or will I need to do just that in order to re-root?
Thanks in advance
Anyone?
Please help :crying:

From what I know, and by the error displayed on the attached screenshot, you need to do the whole rutine all over again. I am pretty sure rooting can not be done if bootloader is locked, which might mean you have a stock recovery image as well - and since that is not keen to be rooted (as far as I know) you need to flash a custom recovery like twrp. I might be wrong in all this, I'm newish to all this.

Since you are S-ON you can not flash a custom recovery or root without unlocking your bootloader.

Well, for starters, my bootloader is unlocked (as mentioned before), thus we eliminate the bootloader unlocking dilemma. But it still doesn't tell me how can I re-root my device: you want to tell me that I have to do is to flash a custom recovery and install SuperSU again, and my phone will be rooted again?

latest known bug free version of twrp is 2.6.3.3/.4 thats why we always recommend using this version.

yes you can flash your stock recovery again, might be a good idea to do a nandroid backup of your current config before flashing back the stock recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

Will do! Thanks a bunch!!!
I was flashing the new OTA from adb, and it failed at 70%.
Stock image, locked bootloader, not TWRP, not rooted
Now on bootup, I see nothing but the google logo.
I can reboot to bootloader/recovery mode, but can't flash anything since I hadn't unlocked the bootloader. Any way to proceed? Can I flash another bootloader that will let me unlock from fastboot?
Bootloader can only be unlocked after allowing it in the developers options. Perhaps you can boot into TWRP from the bootloader, fastboot boot xxx. Where xxx is the name of the TWRP IMG. You may be able to side load the OTA that way and flash it. I'm not 100% sure of that though.

How do I push TWRP to the device? I can't flash recovery (it's still stock).
You don't. If you've got fastboot working, just type, fastboot boot (the name of the TWRP IMG) and it should boot on the device.

I was getting errors when trying to boot from the twrp image. But I figured out that I can boot to recovery, select update from adb, and get adb running again.
I was able to reflash the OTA, looks like it's working now.
I guess the lesson for today is that I should just leave the bootloader unlocked.
Thanks for the help
Excellent!

That's the 1st commandment! Leave the bootloader unlocked.

If I have a P9 on Nougat B391, I receive an OTA, am currently rooted on Magisk v14. If I install the OTA anyway? What will happen? I know I will lose root, but will my bootloader be relocked? Am I going to lose any data?
Would like to know what will happen next as I am thinking of installing it. thanks!
there are 2 posible outcomes, maybe 3.
1. update will be successfull and you will lose root, twrp, bootloader can be locked too, but on fastboot it will shown as unlocked, if you cant instal twrp, then you need to unlock bootloader even if there is tuped unlocked.
2. update will fail and you will be back on same build you was.
3. never hapened to me, but are possible, that phone got bricked!

IMO, (2) is most possible utcome. (3) may happen if you force DLOAD and other manual methods.
Better:
1) unroot by Magisk Uninstaller, find the download link in the post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74913863&postcount=1
2) flash from TWRP original stock boot img
3) wipe Dalwik and Cache from TWRP
3) flash from fastboot original stock recovery
4) let it make OTA update but select in the System Update settings to use Full (not differential) update - it will not delete your apps and settings
Of course, you will loose root and TWRP but bootloader will remain unlocked and you will not risk bricking the phone.

Magisk Uninstaller does not wipe your phone.
However, unlocking or relocking Bootloader (from Fastboot) triggers Factory restore
I'm thinking about rooting my moto one power but i want to stick to the stock rom for various reasons.
Although, I'd like to have xposed and a few more tools which require a custom recovery.
How to fully unroot my device for the update taken that twrp can't flash stock rom updates, or how to get and install ota updates after having root? Will data loss be a factor?
Please guide me.
Use twrp, and use magisk to root you will get ota update

You're wrong, if you use twrp and magisk OTA's will fail
Boot into TWRP and flash Magisk. In this way you will retain your original recovery and also be able to flash magisk.
I did this with my Nexus device 3 years ago (I used SupeSU) and was getting OTA updates each time. The only problem was that I was losing root every time I would get an OTA update.
I don't know how Magisk works but if it works the same way as SuperSU did in this case, then you will be able to update your device via OTA.
You may try this if you want to, as I don't know whether this method still works or not.
fastboot boot <twrp-recovery-name>.img This will boot your device into TWRP recovery without replacing original recovery.
Then just flash Magisk and reboot your device. You will have your stock recovery intact.

Magisk reflashes itself after OTA updates of Lineage thus going by that, the device should lose root access once an OTA is flashed. Thats just a theory though!
