How to root 3T on OOS4.0 ?

Hey,
I bought my phone 2 days ago, after charging it I updated to OOS4.0 through the system updates using VPN, when I got home I unlocked the bootloader but did nothing else afterwards. I'm seeing a lot of threads with people having issues with TWRP and encryption, considering my last device was the OPO and I was running Lollipop (was too lazy to update it ) I'm kinda out of the loop.
How can I root it now that it's running Nougat ? simply flashing the twrp img using fastboot and then flashing the SuperSU zip or is there a different method ?
Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.
Also, one more question, is Xposed working on Nougat ? I had quite a few useful modules on my OPO, wanted to know if that's possible on the 3T as well.

The beta builds of the TWRP which are compatible with the OOS 4.0.0 are available. You can find them from the thread.
If you want to use the Xposed modules, you should downgrade to 3.5.4.

Actually, I'm using the Magisk instead. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

Is it better to install this instead of SuperSU ?

If you are interested in using apps which detect root or a modified system/bootloader (Android Pay, Pokémon Go, some banking apps) then yes. Otherwise, no benefit of Magisk (v10.2) for you and may as well use SuperSU which is simpler to install.

It's case by case, and I don't know which one is good for you. Do some research and figure out yourself.

Magisk is open source, and it is also easy to install. You can also install the Magisk modules. It's not a simple root-hide app as many people still misunderstand.

So, with oxygen 4.0.1 the procedure will be the same?

TWRP Stuck Mount password
Greetings guys..
Yesterday I got my 3T and upgraded OTA latest OxygenOS 4.0.1. I was able to unlock bootloader and install TWRP 3.0.3 but when I access bootloader the first screen ask me to provide "Decrypt password" to mount, and if I ignore and slide to start modification I don't have access to internal card (assume its READ-ONLY), just folders are visible but unable to find or install SU package.
I check all the forums but didn't find any relevant information how to get out of TWRP "Decrypt password" issue. I don't want my phone to be encrypted, so I would appreciate if you can please help me to root my 3T.
Cheers

Installed TWRP 3.0.3.1 BETA .... How long does it really take to decrypt new phone without any apps? Just to have an idea. When I started TWRP it asked for password and I used the PIN assigned to login to screen ... now going on for 5 minutes now.
Following on the screen:
Mount
Try Decryption
Updating partition details...
....done
Unable to mount storage
Full SELinux support present

I read that it takes some minutes if you are f2s and encrypted but I don't know how to proceed since I haven't flashed twrp and root yet.
Sorry but you may have to wait someone who has already done it

What is the correct way to re-enable encryption?

If I have formatted and installed with encryption disabled, what is the right way to get encryption back?
Can I just go into Settings>Security & Fingerprint>Encrypt Phone and enable it there?

Yup, that should do the trick. Didn't try on T3, but used same method on one of my prev phones.

Did that work?

I did it on OOS 4.1.1 with twrp and franco kernel installed. It worked for me :good:

Well all custom roms work fine with encrypted devices so i don't see why it shouldn't be possible to encrypt your device on a custom rom. If you want to be 100% sure ask in the thread of your rom

It worked. I disabled root to be on the safe side and encrypted. I get errors in twrp now, but they don't seem to effect anything.

Root is not a problem neither. i did it with root enabled.
That twrp error is normal. When you boot in twrp it shows the error that it can't mount data because you're encrypted and you need to type in your password first.
I also suggest you to use blu_spark's twrp because it's always updated. The official twrp for the op3t hasn't a maintainer anymore and it seems abbandoned..

I mean here on xda. The last build on xda is the 3.0.4.1 which it never came out. There was the 3.1.0.0 which had the wipe bug for the 3t. I don't know who is making those builds and i don't neither know if they test it.

Questions regarding xiaoumi.eu ROM

I made the update from stable global to beta global last week, because I needed to unlock bootloader. Now my plan was to wait for the first stable release of Lineage, but I didn't know about Xiaoumi.eu rom and that headphone volume was so bad on this stock (beta) rom...
Now my questions are:
Which partitions have to be wiped before flashing the ".eu" rom?
(Already googled this one on my own, see "EDIT")Are the weekly versions like Beta versions? If yes then would this one be the latest stable rom:
xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAX2_V8.5.15.0.NDDCNED_v8-7.1.zip
Other than that there shouldn't be any other Things to worry about, right?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: So I googled a bit about the meaning of weekly and I guess it will work well enough for me, downloading this one right now:
xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAX2_7.10.12_v9-7.1.zip
I couldn't find much about my other questions though..
EDIT 2: I just went the "factory reset" way and wiped data, cache and dalvik and it worked.
No further questions from me.

Were you able to install Xposed on this ROM?

haven't tried yet, I don't have the time eight now to fix it if it starts acting weird or bootloops...

Thanks man, sadly I the phone still won't boot after installing this updated Xposed version. Here are the steps I did:
Install newest Xiaomi ROM (7.10.19)
Flash TWRP
Install Magisk 14 zip via TWRP
Boot up again to check if Magisk was installed (it was)
Flash V88.2_Sdk25_Arm64 Xposed zip
-> Phone doesn't boot
Did I do a dumb mistake here or sth?

Nope, that's more or less how I did it. But before I flashed this version of Xposed I installed the Xposed Installer. Maybe that's necessary, but I think not.
Can you try out flashing the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip? I did it for something else earlier and also after every attempt of flashing Xposed.
If I understand it right some Xiaomi phones bootloop after you write to /system, then you have to flash that file to fix it. Xposed writes to /system, so that could be a solution.
Before you flash that research it a little bit more, because I don't know much about this topic and don't want to give you false advice.
EDIT:Did you flash the xposed version from my downloadlink? It is different from the regular 88.2 SDK25, it's a testversion made by the xposed creator specifically for MIUI 9 devices.

OK, I can confirm a couple things:
1. With this boot.img I have magisk
2. With this boot.img I have TWRP
But...
I have no MAC ID, so no wifi.
After a complete reset, including formatting data, still no MAC, no wifi
Could this be a difference between the international version and the US version?

Yes, make sure you're on first android Q beta and you have unlocked bootloader.

General [IMG] Boot + magisk patched boot images

Hi, I have decided to gather boot images and magisk patched images to one thread for now. I will try to edit this thread to be up-to-date. You can let me know what could you want next or if anything is wrong etc.
Stock boot.img files (direct links): ​
EU NE2213_11_A.12​
Stock boot.img - link
EU NE2213_11_A.10​
Stock boot.img - link
​Magisk patched boot.img are here a file that can be downloaded (I am using magisk canary usually, but in Magisk, you can change the channel from the canary to stable etc.) - names as the versions come. ​
Below this there are those magisk patched files which you just flash (or boot and then flash directly from the Magisk app) via fastboot ​

Apparently not. I have patched that stock boot via magisk, then via fastboot boot <patchedimage.img> booted (and also tested if it actually boots) and when it booted, via magisk app I did "Direct install (recommended)", rebooted and done.

Oh okay you had a temporary boot we that's good to know well it works that's the most important thing ain't it

Noob question I been on locked bootloader for years so haven't been in the root scene, but I have US model NE2215 I'm guessing I need to wait for the firmware to be available to get the boot img? Did I just got my phone too early? Already oem unlocked now just waiting for twrp and root info. I always wanted a OnePlus phone because the community is big, but doesn't seem like much people upgraded from 9 pro.

Yes, because this is probably and currently the most secure option to root it as we haven't got twrp available yet.

That's not that you have it early. The phone itself is early in spite of rooting and doing things like rooting, custom recoveries, ROMs etc. I currently can't find boot img for your model, but once I do, I will post it here for you with patched one.

You should wipe the phone and start all over or else you won't be able to take ota updates. Never flash the patched boot image since you bypass the magisk backup feature. You have to wait for the full update package to update if you flash the boot. Ppl have previously had update issues after flashing.

Not sure what else magisk does during the backup process, but doing what you’re describing didn’t work for users on 8T and they usually ended up soft bricking. Everyone who flashed it vice installing from magisk app had to wait for op to post the full rom or for someone to post a repacked fastboot rom to update.
You do what you need to do, I’m just giving you some experience and recommendations since you just wiped and flashed the boot.

Interesting.
I moved over from ColorOS to oxygen OS, wiped the device then just booted a patched boot img, and installed direct.
I assume I flash ota and go onto magisk and do inactive slot? Where does the issue lie what method should I have gone down?

Hmmm. Well you should be fine if you patched the boot and let magisk do the install. I only suggested wiping since you said you flashed the img from the bootloader.
You might run into the same problem I have with the 9RT. I too upgraded from color to oos and couldn’t update at all, even though I rooted from the magisk app. I had to wait for someone to make a fastboot rom. I had no problems updating color following my method, but not oos after switching. Hopefully that’s not the case for you.
