Unable to Root - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

For whatever reason I can't root my OnePlus 3. When I flash SuperSU my phone will always bootloop until I wipe and install the ROM again without rooting. I've tried flashing SuperSU over stock OOS 3.2.7 and 3.5.4 and I've also tried flashing FreedomOS with the SuperSU option checked and I still bootloop. Does anyone have any idea what could be going wrong or am I just out of luck?

buddy just try with different and fresh download supersu . maybe thats work.

You need a SuperSU version compatible to Oxygen OS. --> CLICK ME

I tried flashing this over Oxygen OS 3.5.4 and I'm still getting bootloops, does it not work on the community build?

Just a wild guess here. Have you unlocked your bootloader?

Make sure the system partition is mounted in TWRP before you flash. That could be your problem.

Please HELP.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You messed up! Everyone knows that before flashing ota you should be on OnePlus recovery now you can sideload oos or flash through twrp.

which twrp version are you using? also do you have encryption issues in twrp? you might not need to reflash the rom butmay be reset the phone and install updated twrp. there are couple of threads. i myself saw this issue on my device
I faced the same issue. Just flash the stock recovery and boot the phone. The update will fail and you'll be back on.
You can flash newest BluSpark TWRP and the the 4.0.2 Full ZIP, then it should work
This is the solution that worked for me

I had the same issue, flash the stock recovery 2.0 on the phone (the one that takes 64Mb) and then boot the phone. As mentioned it'll fail but then you get out of the loop and can flash whichever recovery and rom you feel like. And thanks for the people that mirrored the recovery while it was not on the official page, and to the people that suggested this, it was a pain to fix the first time.

Had this issue before, just look on your internal memory, there is a folder called ".OTAsomething", in there the OTA zip is stored, delete it and the phone will boot to Oxygen OS again.

Root for OxygenOS 4.1.6

Hello everyone, I am using OOS 4.1.6 on my new 3T, however I am unable to get root even though I have already tried with latest TWRP, magisk 12, and SuperSU 2.82. Nothing worked everytime I've got not rooted on root checker.
Please describe in steps what you did.

Hi,
We unclocked the bootloader, then we did flash with twrp 3.1.0 and installed SU 2.82.
After doing all this, the phone was not restarting.

Well first of all, format your whole phone over TWRP. (System too, but make sure you have the full Oxygen OS zip on a computer.)
After formating all partitions, move the full OOS zip and Magisk 12.0 on your phone. Flash the OOS zip, restart your recovery and flash Magisk after it.
That worked 100% for me all the time.
If you still need assistance with that, we can setup Teamviewer so I can guide you through this.

Same here! The phone freezes in boot animation screen. Even the animation stopped!
Guessing it's about the f2fs file system. I used to have a situation like this with Oneplus 2. My step was to format data and cache partitions back to ext4, and that worked.
Using 3t now, still not rooted. Don't want to start over after bootloader unlocking

I had the same problem and was solved with twrp 3.0.4-1 and SuperSU-v2.82.

Ok, I will try and update here then.
I'd say wipe everything possible in TWRP except for system partition, then boot the system and then eventually flash some kind of a root package - either Magisk or SuperSU. I always do it that way and it works. I am not really sure but otherwise it might have something to do with the data encryption.
Use following and you should be all set (just did it 2 days ago):
1st Flash Stock Recovery (go back to stock - https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...-3-3t-and-go-back-completely-to-stock.456232/
Flash TWRP after you achieve STOCK OS 4.1.6.
Use this TWRP version for now (there is some issue with 3.1.1-2 i saw on forums):
twrp-3.1.1-0-oneplus3t.img
To Root just use Magisk-v13.3.zip (IMO way better than SuperSu + has MagiskHide for AndroidPay/Snapchat/SafetyNet checks):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
That is it, done!

Flasing a Custom rom boots to recovery

HI,
Every time I flash a custom rom, it doestn't boot. it goes back to TWRP..
The only time it boots is when I flash rom with official twrp. And it boots with few things missing like magisk and other apps. Bluspark and codeworks doesn't boot.
Stock rom downloaded from oneplus also doesn't boot if the recovery is not official TWRP or the stock one..
Is there something I am missing?
Thanks...
Any ideas?

Did you try flashing stock ROM and the Magisk uninstall zip? This removes everything Magisk related. Then boot, only flash Magisk and see if that works for you

I am now back to stock OB1. Whatever custom rom I flash, it has been troublesome.
Last flash was successful, Audax rom. It had nothing missing. I flashed speaker mod, it worked. Then, I tried a custom kernel, blu-spark for nougat. it bootlooped to Qualcomm loader mode..
I have flashed many phones in the past without any problems for 4 years.. but this time it's not working for me..
Is there any 5T specific step that I am missing?
1. Unlock bootloader.
2. Flash Custom recovery. And boot it.
3. Wiped everything including internal storage.
4. Reboot to recovery.
5. Flashed Rom and then magisk and no-verity.
6. Wiped cache ( only sometimes)
7. After this step, the rom doesn't boot. It comes back to recovery using blu_spark and codeworkx... Stock twrp lets it boot but without magisk.
Then, I flashed magisk... It did the same thing, reboots to recovery.
I tried using magisk uninstaller. It didn't work.
Everytime it goes in to loop, I always had to format data because internal storage was not shown. (0mb)
I have never felt this noob...
Correct me if I'm wrong but is the no-verity zip necessary? Doesn't Magisk do that automatically? Just asking as I have stock ROM with Magisk and Xposed and never any issues.
Flash ROM and Gapps and then boot into system. After setting up, flash twrp again and Magisk. No-verity is needed only if you wanna flash certain unencrypted ROMs, in which case formatting data would also be required.
Did you do both fastboot OEM unlock, as well as enabling the option in developer options?

I don't know but without flashing no-verity zip, i haven't been able to boot any of these custom roms for 5t.
Flashing magisk on stock rom has also worked for me, but strangely I can't boot the custom roms on XDA. Liquid rom was successful but I wanted OOS custom roms. So far, I am unsuccessful.
Stock rom with magisk does fulfill my requirements.
But, I am curious about the problem I am having..

Trying to flash OOS 5.04 but twrp keeps saying no OS installed?

Need help, i have been using custom roms since i got the phone, was on the newest cdroid from today or yesterday, decided i wanted to try OOS, i updated to official twrp 3.2.0.2 and downloaded the full OOS zip.
Formatted data, transfered OOS zip and magisk 16 to phone, wiped everything except sdcard, flashed OOS and when I tried to flash magisk it gave me a error code 1. Tried blue twrp tried OOS 5.04, and still does the same thing please help!
I had the same error last night but it's all right, you can go ahead and continue, it will boot up. You can install the universal TWRP by codeworkx.

Questions about upgrading 5T from 5.1.1 to 5.1.3

Hey. I have a rooted with TWRP installed OnePlus 5T on OOS v5.1.1
I've been receiving the 5.1.3 upgrade for a while now and have decided to update. Can i dirty flash the package or do i need to wipe system and data? I'm guessing the root will not be retained and i will have to root again but will the TWRP recovery stay intact? Thanks for your answers
I guess you would be able dirty flash.
You have to flash the twrp and magisk root again. If you are going to flash latest Open Beta 11, you have to flash Beta 10 before to retain data.

I have switched from 5.1.3 to beta11 like;
1- download the rom you want to install from oneplus site.
2- also download the stock recovery image from oneplus site.
3- put both files into the phone.
4- flash the stock recovery you downloaded.
5- boot into stock recovery and install the downloaded rom without wiping or formating anything.
6- enjoy your new rom with all your apps and data.
After the above steps you can install custom recovery and magisk again.
I also highly recommend to take a full backup of your phone .

Well, i always got an error with twrp. No OS installed or something like that. Tried also a dirty flash with twrp and phone was not able to boot. So i found the way with stock recovery.

Rom can be flashed with Blu Spark treble TWRP V8.78not normal TWRP. And after you flash reboot to recovery then flash magisk 15.3 and no verity V2 or version 3 if your not encrypted either work, I used V2 just fine.
If you try to flash magisk right after rom it will probably give you an error. Reboot only to recovery BEFORE letting the rom boot or you loose recovery, then magisk will flash, 15.3 is the least grievous version after a successful boot upgrading to 16.4 is easy.
16.6 has been giving people grief also.
