I just got a 4 XL running Android 11 feb patch, i'm planning to unlock it and install Cleanslate so i can get rid of the annoying greentint in low brightness. im not new to rooting/custom roms/kernels but the last device i tinker was oneplus 6 and mi 9t pro. i did some research and i see a lot of ways rooting like patching the boot.img
im wondering if i can still do the old method were i just flash everything using twrp to obtain root, update to latest security patch ( i wanted to stay on stock firmware) and just reflash kernel and magisk. or am i required to do all those "patch boot.img" steps to obtain root on stock?
i feel so noob now. lol any help will greatly be appreciated

No TWRP for Android 11. You have to patch boot.img and fastboot flash it.

Just follow one of the guides is your best bet. Magisk is pretty user friendly for patching your own boot.img. There is a thread that keeps up with pre-patched boot.img files but you are better off getting proficient with adb/fastboot and patching your own.
[Guide] Root Pixel 4 XL Android 11 (R)
Went there, rooted that, ordered the t-shirt. [/ wink & grin]
I haven't done rooting in a while (uh, Samsung S7 while). NTL, I actually followed the guide (gasp!!) and it all worked first time out.
Not much to say after that.

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.

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
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.
Unleashed by my rooted OP3T on 8.0
I’m sure this is very simple and I’m just not getting it…
got new moto x4 XT1900-1 from b&h
unlocked boot loader with motorola code
using windows fast boot was able to follow the "How to : Moto X4 Root & TWRP Recovery" bu Munchy on youtube to install twrp using payton 3.2.1-1
then installed Magish 17.1 which seems to be what actually rooted the phone as per confirmation by Root Check app shows 8.1.0
now I am getting constant ota notices of a security update OPWS28.3.2 and I download it and it fails which is apparently normal for a rooted phone.
Can I disable the root and update???…can this be done by turning off magic…or uninstalling it…or is this done by tarp?
I believe I should back up the recover image using twrp…then what?…find and boot to a stock image?
???
any info appreciated
tia
PS…I just tried the "topjohnwu Update OTA tutorial for v17" method in tips and tricks on here and it also said update failed???

What I did (might be an easier way but this was fast and easy):
1) Uninstall/remove Magisk.
2) Re-flash firmware over current system but don't do 'fastboot erase userdata'
3) Boot into your system and take all the OTA's
4) Re-install Magisk via TWRP
Took about 10 minutes. Longest part was waiting for OTA's to install.
Sorry...I'm new to all this. How do I reflash firmware?....use twrp app that is installed?
Magisk 17 supposedly has the ability to do this.

I've tried this, and it didn't work. Ended up having to boot into TWRP, uninstall Magisk, and then reboot. Haven't bothered trying to update since I attempted that.

I spent a little while trying to apply OTA with magisk. The only way I was able to do it was to flash the stock firmware like everyone says. I could only find 8.0, so I had to flash the firmware, install 3 OTA's, then reinstall twrp/magisk.
The only thing I didn't try was installing magisk without twrp, which I believe is supported but I'm not sure. I think that might be the secret sauce to fixing it, but I'm not sure, and I haven't wanted to reflash and go through the whole process again.

If you have the xt1900-1 retus you can flash the android one firmware which is 8.1 (currently on the Aug 2018 security patch).

I have the android one variant. Do you know where I can get the firmware? There's a new security patch and I'd like to try installing it with stock bootloader + magisk (installed from a temporary twrp boot) to see if that works with the OTA. I'd like to get the method working since android 9 is coming at some point.

Only way how to apply OTA update with magisk rooted X4 is flash ROM using fastboot (august 2018 ROM is on AFH), remove command 'fastboot erase userdata' from script 'flash-all.bat', install september OTA from adb sideload/SD card and root again.

Thanks, the rom is exactly what I was looking for, I just wasn't sure which one to use. I'd hate to install the wrong rom and mess something up.
EDIT: I did get a chance to try it and you're correct, there is no way to install an OTA to this device without fully reflashing the stock rom, taking the OTA, then installing Magisk. I tried the following steps:
1. Flash ROM given from androidfilehost
2. Reboot, wait for OTA notification
3. Boot to bootloader
4. use fastboot to temporarily boot twrp
5. flash magisk 17.1 zipfile
6. reboot to system, verify that magisk/root is installed
7. Uninstall magisk using magisk manager "Restore Images" as given in the tips.md file
8. Take OTA
the OTA still failed, so even though TWRP wasn't installed and it was still the stock recovery, I was unable to install the OTA. Shame, it'd be nice if we could get this to work, but oh well.
Just had my Razer Phone 2 RMAD.
My last one was MR2 build and just had simple root and Deodexed rom on it.
My new one arrived with P-SMR7-RC001-ATT-200615.3355, just looking to root it again.
Any idea if I can just flash the MR2 images on it again to obtain root the standard method?
Thanks.

Just flash the mr3 global, then flash arter kernel r13 (r14 can have issues but i am using it), then in recovery flash magisk 20.1 (im stable on 20.4). That should safely get u there. Im ATT too and global just gets u to where everyone else is and troubleshooting stuff is easier.
I was wondering about rooting P-SMR7-RC003-RZR-210107.3225 ? Would I apply the same versions to root this build number?

The best root method I have used is Magisk, if you are using the stock ROM, you can install it by patching boot.img, you need to unlock bootloader first.
You can extract the original boot.img from the fastboot ROM tgz package.
If you are using a custom ROM and TWRP, you can flash the zip package in TWRP.

With Magisk installed, I think you can't update the system directly, I think you have to unroot first.
