Root OnePlus 3T running 7.1.1 Android Nougat and Oxygen 4.1.1.

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?

Root My Oneplus 3 5.0.1

Hi Developers / Helpers
Please I Need To Root My Oneplus 3 5.0.1 Dec 2017 ... Safe Method .. Please

You can download and flash Magisk 15.2, most certainly it will work but also download the Uninstaller and keep it on your storage and in case something goes wrong, flash that.
There are already lots of guides and threads about rooting whatever rom you might need. Please refrain from creating new threads, use search. It'll also save you some time.

The problem of gaining root access is regarding the flashable super user zip that you flash in TWRP.
for example, if you use Magisk 14.0 (which is a stable version), in oxygen os nouagat ROM, your oxygen OS will boot without any issues.
Presently, I know Magisk 15.1 (which is a beta version if I am not wrong ) also causes bootloops with oxygen OS 5.0.
Now, OOS 5.0.1 is out and stable Magisk 15.2 is also out.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Most probably, root access can be attained with this.
Please let us update if try this...........

First of all you have to unlock the bootloader to be able to flash any kind of mod like Magisk. You have to do it in Settings > About phone > tap Build number 7 times and then in developer settings enable OEM unlocking.
Next, flash TWRP and then flash Magisk 15.2.
There are several guides here on the forum, look them up.
P.S. Flashing Magisk's root will still pass SafetyNet, so you can use Android Pay, if you wish.

agreed that Magisk 15.2 is probably the safest bet. Or alternately, 14.6.
Interestingly, I used Magisk 14.6 when updating to OOS 5.0. Then subsequently updated to Magisk 15.0 via Magisk Manager, then 15.1 and 15.2 when they rolled out. All without issues. But probably not the same as rooting for the first time.

You know this device section is for the 3T?
Most of what has been said still applies, if you in fact have the 3 (not the 3T). But also want to make sure you get the most accurate info possible. In which case, posting in the OP3 section is a better idea.

Questions about TWRP/ROM/ etc

Hello, I'm new to the Xiaomi world and I still have trouble understanding some terms ...
I am currently waiting for the necessary 168 hours before I can unlock my bootloader.
I would like to know what are the differences between orangefox and twrp, which one to choose?
What are the differences between global and eu?
I think I'm in global because I'm in 10.3.2.0
If I root my phone will I be able to update without removing everything?
Thank you in advance.

TWRP is very customisable and as such there are many different versions. Orange Fox is just a very heavily customised version of TWRP. It has a number of additional features over vanilla TWRP, some of which are specific to Xiaomi devices. However there are other versions of TWRP that also have been customised with additional features that are Xiaomi specific, it's just that these other versions are still very much recognisable as a version of TWRP as they keep the same UI design.
I don't think anyone is really sure what differences, if any, there are between the global and EU ROMs, at least from a functionality point of view. It might just be ad delivery and data collection differences, due to the EU having stricter laws around data protection and such things.
If you root you won't be able to use OTA. If you do you will lose root. You will need to manually update by installing the latest recovery ROM followed by Magisk again. (I assume that will be your root solution)

Just use either recovery for now. The only difference is the interface imo. F2fs support is still bad in recovery.
Use miui.eu, it's the same but stripped down and without ads.
Sure, as long as it's a compatible update.
-
I do recommend you backup your Android 9 partitions before flashing. I wiped and installed 10 and cannot go back.

Thank you guys for the infos, I think I'll go with classic TWRP and install the xiaomi.eu rom and then for the root I would reinstall it with each update this is not a problem

Orangefox has the ability to surviving OTA updates if prepared well.

If you go with the xiaomi.eu ROM then Magisk will automatically install itself when you update.

Cool Thanks.
And for the TWRP the best actually is the unofficial one from @mauronofrio or there is an official for android p ? Is the last on twrp.me will work ? Thanks

If Magisk is a rooting solution, and if Xiaomi.eu ROM installs Magisk automatically, does it mean If I install Xiaomi.eu ROM, I have no other choice but to root my phone, therefore I won't be able to use OTA updates and will have to update manually each time there is a new ROM ?

No.
Magisk will automatically install itself if you have already installed it.
This is common behaviour for things like Magisk and GApps. If they've been installed on a custom ROM, they will automatically reinstall themselves when you update that ROM.
Xiaomi.eu does not come with Magisk pre-installed.
You are also confusing OTA updating a rooted phone with an official ROM and with a Xiaomi.eu ROM.
Xiaomi.eu is a custom ROM and so updating it is more like other typical custom ROMs.

Cannot install Magisk

Hello,
I have a One Plus 5 with a Custom AOSP Rom 11.0 and TWRP 3.4.0.1 and I'm trying to install Magisk like it's explained here.
But whatever I try - it does not work.
When I flash it via TWRP it says everything went well, but in the end my Magisk Manager does not have the "green ticks" and my apps say I have no root access.
I also tried this with my current ROM but there is an error. I'll attach all logs and files in case it's helpful.
Thank you very much.
Edit:
I was now able to create a flashed boot.img file, but when I flash that it always boots into the bootloader and cannot boot my phone anymore normally anymore.

Quite simple... Magisk v20.4 isn't compatible with Android 11. Currently you need to switch to the beta update channel if you want root on A11.

Back to Stock

Hi,
I bought this Mi 9T Pro, a year and 5 months ago. It already came rooted and with Miui 20.5.7 Beta.
However i run in to the problems that i am starting to use this phone for work now and it can't be used due some checks that this phone is rooted and on an old updated version.
Is there a way to get back to the stock eu rom. With automatic updates and to unroot it, without losing all my programs/photos etc.?

By 'rooted', do you mean that Magisk is installed (that you really have SuperUser privileges in Android) or only that Bootloader is unlocked (and maybe TWRP/custom Recovery is installed)?
Also, by Miui 20.5.7 Beta do you mean an old Xiaomi.eu Weekly or some other custom ROM or what?
You can flash Magisk uninstall.zip from TWRP to unroot=uninstall Magisk (that will not relock BL, but properly speaking rooting should be related to su and hence Magisk).
In Magisk app (former Magisk manager) there is also Uninstall Magisk option but I would suggest to flash the uninstall.zip instead.
It would be also good that you go to the Modules in Magisk app/mngr and uninstall all modules (and reboot) first
If you are on Xiaomi.eu Weekly, you should be able to upgrade to the latest Weekly or even better to the Xuaomi.eu Stable without Formatting Data (hence keeping your apps, settings and documents).
Better than latest stock and (without Magisk - to avoid troubles with hiding the Magisk) you will be passing SafetyNet right away (Xiaomi.eu hides that Bootloader is unlocked) and you should not have any problem for your business apps.
For updating Xiaomi.eu you will need TWRP - you probably have an older version, you will need to update the TWRP first (or Orange Fox or your customRecovery of choice)
But if you really want to go back to stock you MUST do FORMAT DATA (if you don't you might be able to install the stock but you will complain then that this or that does not work, etc), hence you will loose all your user apps, settings, data - you need to think about backing up and later restoring (cooying e.g. photos to PC, backing up contacts via Google account, and Xiaomi Clouds also provide useful back-ups for apps and their settings, Comtacts, Calls and SMS, even WiFi passwords)

Yes, Mgisk and SU are installed and with OrangeFox.

Are the weekly builds also availble on OTA updates? So i won't have to update manually every time? Because saving the files and apps that i have right now are key. Otherwise i can just buy a new phone and transfer everything. Is there a good tutorial on how to update it to the latest weekly?

Ok, from Magisk app/mngr uninstall all modules and reboot. Later when you update Xiaomi.eu, it will flash the new, clean boot.img without the Magisk patch.
Finally, you will uninstall the Magisk app/mngr then (app/mngr is apk, not the Magisk itself, only it's front-end/UI to manage the Magisk)
For Orange Fox you will need to search where to download the update.
You can also take latest TWRP from TWRP.me and flash the img file (to Recovery) from OF
If you are really on Xiaomi.eu (check My Device does it really say MIUI by Xiaomi.eu or so), go to Xiaomi.eu forum, open the Stable (or Weekly) thread and read the OP posts (usually, posts #1 and #2) where to download and how to install/update
When updating from the old Xiaomi.eu Weekly/Stable to the latest Stable, the following should be enough:
- download the ROM zip for raphael
- go to OF/TWRP and flash the ROM
- Wipe Dalwik and Cache
- Go to Advance (maybe in OF named differently, I don't use OF), File Manager, navigate to /data/system and delete its package_cache subfolder
(Btw, I downgraded that way from Xiaomi.eu weekly to always the little older Stable and everything went ok - I only had an issue with Gallery app that was newer in my Weekly than in the Stable - but that is also solvable and could not apply to your ancient Weekly)
I.e., the guide might say that you need to Format Data, but since you are upgrading from an really old Weekly/Stable version there is no fear that you might downgrade any system app
PS: Xiaomi.eu provides its own OTA mechanism but for updating you will always need TWRP (OF), not the stock Recovery.
However, Mi 9 series (plain, T, T Pro, SE, all of them) are on the end-of-line. There will be no Xiaomi.eu Weeklies any more for them, and it's unclear would they receive additional Stable updates (just like the newer Security patches).
But the similar fate applies to stock OTA upgrades, too. Phones were released with MIUI 10/A 9, more than two years ago, Xiaomi upgraded them to MIUI 12 / A11 (two major versions ahead) - and that's it

Hi I'm K20pro/Mi 9t pro user currently on latest 12.5.1.0 raphael stock rom, can you give bit of advice about going to eu stable rom(12.5.6.0 latest) from stock miui. I do have orange fox recovery installed but confused about what to wipe(dalvik/cache/...other options) or format data(yes confirmation option) and if rom flash needs to be in clean internal storage via format data(yes confirmation option), will i need latest firmware with it or just eu rom.
After that i will install magisk
I'm pretty much new custom roms with just a week of 35-40 hours of research, I will be glad if you or anyone reading this, willing to clear my doubts.
Thank you in advance
