Yes, Magisk works on this. I am using it right now.
You can uninstall any app you want without any side effects as long as the app is not an essential part of system.
For example, Firsttouch Launcher, Swiftkey Keyboard, Email, Amazon Kindle, App Center, App Bazaar, Chaatz, Hangouts etc.
You can use Debloater.
It is a magisk module you can use by terminal emulator to remove bloatware.

Have you installed the drivers I mentioned or some other ones?
Btw, are you running adb and fastboot in Windows or Linux?
Thanks You for this post.
WHen I get to step "K" the device simply reboots fully back into normal OS
then further steps are not recognized if I do not keep putting "adb" in front
like it will not recognize fastboot devices
but it will recognize "adb fastboot devices"

I got TWRP recovery installed created by you. Big thanks !
I'm having issues in installing magisk via zip as well as patched boot image. Was the process smooth for you?
I got it to work by editing boot.img.
Are you working on any custom rom ?
Do you have any roms which can be ported to Q394 ?

Hey everyone,
Alright so I have been trying to root my phone for the past 4 hours. I have unlocked it and flashed a custom recovery using adb. Or at least I thought I did. I tried flashing the clockworks recovery and when I would reboot it into the recovery, I would get an icon of a phone and an exclimation point. I assumed a bricked the phone and freaked out. A minute later the phone rebooted out of recovery and works fine afterwards. So I assume that the problem is the recovery. Something went wrong and I am not sure what.
Here are the steps I followed:
I was fine up until step four when I was trying to flash superuser.
No idea what to do from here.
HTC Unlocked = Bootloader is unlocked?
Not to take away from the OP, but i created a guide for a guy here at work and thought others might benefit from it.
Unlock Bootloader and Root
Unlocking your bootloader will wipe all data from your phone. Meaning you will loose everything make a backup.
Step 1: ADB Installation Instructions. NOTE:You must have ADB installed on your PC even if you use method 2b to unlock the bootloader. You will need adb to install recovery in Step 4.
1. Go to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and download the sdk.
2. Follow installation instructions found here. Note: This is not a forum for this device DO NOT do anything but the adb installation on your system.
Step 2a: Download software from HTC to allow your bootloader to be unlocked.
1. Go to http://www.htcdev.com/
2. Login to the website. NOTE: Register for an account if you haven’t already. You must provide a valid email address.
3. Select “All Other Supported Models” from the drop down list and click “Begin Unlock Bootloader”
4. Follow online instructions.
1. SuperUser http://androidfiles.org/securekey.ph.../superuser.zip - Copy this file you phone. Special thanks to jmztaylor his link.
2. Recovery of your choice TWRP Recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2161702 or CWM Recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2161706. Put this file in the ADB Tools folder. NOTE: You must type the name of this file perfectly when using adb to flash it in step 4.
Step 4: Using ADB to install recovery
1. Open command prompt ( shift + right click, then choose “Open command window here”) and type “ADB devices” you should see you phone listed, if you do not start over at Step 1. NOTE: Phone must be plugged in and USB Debugging must be checked in settings.
2. Type “ADB flash recovery recovery.img” without the quotes. NOTE: the red is actually the title of the recovery file that you copied in step 3. If it’s different substitute your files name instead.
3. Once complete type “ABD reboot recovery”.
4. You should at this point backup your device
5. Once you create a backup, Choose install and navigate to the SuperUser file you put on your phone in Step 3.
6. If all goes well you are now rooted. Select reboot system to restart phone.
There is some very good information here but its spread out pretty thin. Guides IMHO are very usefull to fill the gap between devs/powerusers and the newbs.Most people that come here have a hard time with the things we take for granted such as adb commands, or adb its self (most will be setting it up for the first time). I tried my best to put it in a knowledge base that everyone can understand if for some reason you do not understand what i was trying to say please ask. I don't own this phone, just helped a friend root his, but if you need to get ahold of me pm me. I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Any help? Just trying to get rid of the bloatware -_-
Did you copy superuser to your phone? And are you sure you are using the correct file location for adb in the command prompt? You must make sure you are and that all files you want to flash are also in the same folder as adb. Please respond if you have superuser on your phone and if you are positive you are using the correct adb folder location for the command prompt. I'm not the best at this however, I read up a lot on it just to root my phone. Took me 4 hours about as well, but that was before the recoverys came out. I suggest trying to flash twrp recovery, it's a bit buggy (for me) but I find it easier to use.

Code:
ADB flash recovery recovery.img
that is your problem to start with its not "ADB flash"
boot your phone into bootloader with usb connected to PC, Phone should read "fastboot"
Go the your adb directory in command prompt.
ex.
Code:
C:\PcUser\Master\Androidsdk\adb\
Make sure all drivers are installed, from CMD prompt window type "fastboot devices" to check your phone is showing.
if you see your device then you can type
fastboot flash recovery [drag your recovery image into cmd window] and hit enter and it should flash
once recovery is flashed you can either "fastboot Reboot" or on the phone use the Vol rockers to navigate to menu and hit bootloader then from there choose recovery
Hi,
I have the same issue about 2 days, I install TWRP Recovery and all it's ok, and flash in fastboot mode with adb like ilostchild tolds You.
It seems that I met the same problem.
My issue is the phone only boot into CMW mode, although I tried to restart it many times. When connect to usb cable, lappy did not recognize the phone so I can use adb command.
Please help me.
I can't make ADB recognize the device, I already installed the SDK the HTC Sync program but the device appears either as "My HTC" or "Android 1.0" and won't appear under "adb devices", any help? I have been googling for 3 days for a solution but I haven't found anything so far.

Try using another computer!!! Install all neded drivers, searxh google and let windows automaticly install some. Connect via fastboot and it should say
Fastboot usb.
Also....dont search for adb devices, just enter commands starting with fastboot like... Fastboot install recovery cwmrecovery.img

Uninstall HTC sync then try adb devices be possitive you are using the correct location for adb. Usb debugging MUST be on as well. Copy paste the commands into the prompt to make sure you are entering them right. Be sure you have the downloaded files in the same folder you are using with adb.

Already tried uninstalling HTC Sync, after that I deleted every trace of it. USB Debugging WAS ON before the phone crashed but I can't activate it now because the phone keeps looping between reboots.
Try to flash it via htc sync. Download the update and rewrite everything!

Requirements
1. YU Yureka (obviously) with USB Data cable
2. PC / Laptop (Having Windows installed at least Windows 7 or above)
3. Drivers (Windows Automatically detect and install the required drivers)
4. ADB & Fastboot binary package that can be downloaded from XDA 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.2']http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
5. Custom Recovery (Anyone in which you are interested CWM, PhiZ, TWRP)
6. Latest SuperSU.zip file to root your phone
Warning: This process may delete all data stored in internal storage so better backup all the files stored in internal storage.
Step One
Enable USB Debugging on your device you can just follow these steps:
Go to Settings> About phone and keep taping on build number at least 7 times or till it appears "You are a developer now",
Now again go to settings>developer option (only after the previous step it will be enabled)> check/select USB debugging.
Step Two
Unlock your bootloader to flash custom recovery and root.
Here is the process
1. Download the adb & fastboot binary package and install it.
2. Put your phone into FASTBOOT mode by following anyone from below methods :
Method 1 (easiest)
-------------------
a. Power down phone
b. Plug USB cable to your PC
c. Press and hold Vol Up button and plug other end of USB to your device, soon you will see the fastboot screen.
(or without plugging USB Cable, Press and Hold Power and Vol Up buttons simultaneously, until you see the screen
"FASTBOOT MODE"
Method 2
---------
a. While your phone is Power On, plug USB Data Cable with PC and Phone (USB Debuging must be Enable)
b. Open Command Prompt on your PC (with Administartor rights) and type the following command
adb -s 0x1ebf devices
You will get results something like that :
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
3a289c2 device
*Note : If you get "authorization message" then look on your mobile screen and authorize your PC and run the command again.
c. Now note down the device no. (for e.g. in above "3a289c2") and type the following command
adb -s 3a289c2 reboot bootloader
[*Note replace the device id with your id (here 3a289c2), that you got in last command]
Now your phone must be booted into fastboot mode. A screen with "Fastboot Mode" should be appear on your phone.
3. Device drivers will get installed by windows (please wait for the driver installation to complete)
4. After driver installation is done go to the folder where you have extracted the package
5. Now open elevated DOS command prompt (terminal) on your PC and go into the same folder where you saved the recovery file
(*Note : to start command prompt directly from desired folder, while holding the Shift Key Right Click on folder and select start "open command window here")
6. Type the following command to check if the device was detected in fastboot mode
fastboot -i 0x1ebf devices
you should get output like : 2a25d00 fastboot
if you don't get similar output it means that the drivers weren't correctly installed or the device wasn't connected properly
7. If the output is similar to above then run the following command:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem unlock
you should get output something like :
.....
OKAY [ 0.003s]
finished. total time: 0.004s
8. Now your bootloader is now unlocked.
*Note : if you want to re-lock your bootloader again (for warranty on any other reason), again boot into fastboot mode and this time type the following command and enter
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem lock
Step Three
Boot your phone into recovery (temporarily or permanently) and root your phone
1. Download SuperSU.zip and put it on root of your internal or external SD card
2. To load custom recovery (CWM / TWRP / PhiZ) temporarily, now type this command in terminal :
fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot CWM_6.0.5.1_recovery-yu.img
*Note 1 : if you want to flash the custom recovery permanently then us the following command
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash CWM_6.0.5.1_recovery-yu.img
*Note 2 : if your download custom recovery is named differently (here CWM_6.0.5.1_recovery-yu.img) then while writing the above commands you need to put the name of the recovery same as as your saved file name (anyone CWM / Phiz / TWRP)
3. Done ! You loaded custom recovery temporarily, if command used with "boot" hence to root your phone, proceed to next section (step 5).
or
If you flashed recovery permanently, using command with "flash" then boot your phone into recovery. To do so, you have Two options
i) type the following command and press enter : adb -s 3a289c2 reboot recovery
or
ii) power off your phone, after then press and hold "Vol up+ Vol down + Power" buttons simultaneously to boot into custom recovery.
Now to root your phone proceed with next section (step 5).
Root your phone
5. To gain root access, flash SuperSu.zip that is stored on your internal or external SD card (in step 1)
6. Choose reboot phone and enjoy rooted phone with stock or custom recovery !
Special Note 1
I didn't tested, but came to know that root doesn't effect OTA update on Yureka.
You can get OTA updates with root but after the OTA update is flashed you will loose root access. To keep it or to avoid this please go to System Settings -> Developer Options -> UNTICK -"Update CM Recovery" (update recovery while installing system updates)
Even though if someone want to go back to Stock recovery, then download the official stock recovery (link no. 6 above) and flash it using command in fastboot mode (second command in step 2 under head "STEP THREE")

Few errors noted:
1. You can't say flashing recovery when you are booting it.
2. In step 3 point 3 is not valid because when your command is to boot it will automatically boot into recovery you need not use combination keys.
3. Last point vender id is wrong !!!
Few suggestions:
1. It feels like you have not tested this by yourself
2. There is already a guide for "rooting without flashing recovery". Search before posting.

Dear aaskking
Thanks to inform. Here is the corrections
1 & 2 - Tutorial updated with "boot" and "flash" commands separately.
3 + Vendor ID is correct nothing wrong in it.
4 - I already tested all those procedures and commands. I never post anything without testing.
5 - Yes, I also seen that available guide, but that is not so much detailed and also required files links are not provided.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestions.

Great mate cheers just checked and tried that ota updates are available and work.. On stock recovery... Locked bootloader and with root..
Achieved this by downgrading to the very first cm11 firmware and got then rooted it and locked the bootloader then I just booted it and got the incremental update .. Downloaded and flashed .. Works perfectly.. Root not lost due to the untick in dev options..
Thanks again Arjun Singh, for confirming OTA updates are working.
I am already on Stock ROM & recovery {rooted} and tried the same procedure {locked the bootloader}, but no updates for me.
Is updates are really there, or something wrong with me ?

I am simply unable to get the device listed in command prompt after fastboot mode is enabled. my phone has option to boot into fastboot mode in power options. i tried that option, i tried using command to boot into fastboot. But somehow, when phone is in fastboot mode, it does not get detected by fastboot application (even though windows installs drivers successfully).
I have tried 3 different laptops. All had same problem. No idea how to solve this.

I am simply unable to get the device listed in command prompt after fastboot mode is enabled. my phone has option to boot into fastboot mode in power options. i tried that option, i tried using command to boot into fastboot. But somehow, when phone is in fastboot mode, it does not get detected by fastboot application (even though windows installs drivers successfully).
I have tried 3 different laptops. All had same problem. No idea how to solve this.

Ahahahaah... I know just the way... Do not reboot via adb ...
Switch off your phone remove your battery and put it back in do not turn it on.. But connect your USB cable and at the same time hold the power up or maybe down button .. Voila your in fastboot which will get detected .. Don't forget to use the vendor id.

I tried this method but phone does not get detected in fastboot mode at all. I have drivers installed for all different modes I connect my phone as. No luck at all.
Also, weird thing is, I have an option to directly go to fastboot mode from the power menu.

Your driver's are not installed
As there is no special drivers setup, so connect your PC with Internet then plug your phone and let Windows install drivers automatically.

First of all, let me say this isn't my post, and I didn't develop this method. The user, "Teletype" got this all figured out and did an amazing write-up for it. I'm posting it on their behalf so it can be in this newly added forum. The link to the recovery zip is also in his original thread, which I've linked below.
Here's the link to his original thread. If you feel the urge to press "thanks", please go to his original thread and press it for him, he deserves all the credit.

I just managed to get TWRP running on the new Shield console, and installed SuperSU successfully. Two caveats: the display is upside down, and the USB host ports don't work. I had to plugin a mouse via an OTG cable in order to interact with it. ETA: That's only an issue when booted to TWRP. Everything's working fine in the stock ROM after rooting.
Procedure:
- enable developer tools / USB debugging
- adb push supersu.zip /sdcard
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot oem unlock
- fastboot boot twrp-2.8.6.0-shieldtv-unofficial.img
- unplug USB cable, connect mouse via USB, install SuperSU
TWRP boot image is attached. Off to explore...
EDIT: by request, some more detailed instructions:
On the Shield device, head to Settings -> About, and click "Build number" 7 times. This will enable Android's Developer options.
Go to Settings -> Developer options, and enable USB debugging.
Install the ADB/fastboot drivers and utilities if you don't already have them. When "adb devices" shows your Shield, you're good to go.
Download and extract recovery.zip from this thread.
Head to the SuperSU forum and download the latest version.
Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory where you downloaded everything. (Google this for your OS if you don't know how).
With the Shield still booted, run "adb push supersu.zip /sdcard" (change supersu.zip to appropriate file name). This will upload the SuperSU update zip to your device, which you'll install from TWRP.
If that worked fine, run "adb reboot bootloader". Your device should shut down, and display the Fastboot screen after a few seconds.
FOLLOW THE NEXT THREE INSTRUCTIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK. This WILL wipe all your user data, back it up with ADB first if you want to preserve it. DISCLAIMER #2: I have no idea if there are any DRM keys or anything that get wiped when this is done (this was the case on my Xperia Z3 Compact). I will say that Grid streaming still works fine after doing this.
This step will unlock your bootloader to enable booting unsigned images.
Run "fastboot devices" and make sure your Shield is visible.
Run "fastboot oem unlock" and follow the prompts on the screen. Your bootloader is now unlocked.
Now, boot the TWRP image with: "fastboot boot twrp-2.8.6.0-shieldtv-unofficial.img" - Note: I used this instead of "fastboot flash" so I could keep the stock recovery around, to grab an image of it after rooting.
You should now see a TWRP recovery menu (upside down for now).
Connect a keyboard or mouse via OTG cable, and select "Install", navigate to your SuperSU zip, select it, and follow the prompts.
Click "reboot" and you should now be rooted.

does this have to be done with an otg cable
You can use the supplied micro USB cable to do the adb portion. You shouldn't ever need otg with this device since it also has 2 full sized USB ports.

Instructions got updated
Hi,
I have updated the instructions to ones that more closely aligned with my experience of doing this. The initial instructions were good for me - but some were in slightly the wrong order or not quite clear enough to be immediately intuitive. I've tried to fix that Hope it helps.
On the Shield device, head to Settings -> About, and click "Build number" 7 times. This will enable Android's Developer options.
Exit settings, then go back in to settings -> Developer options, and enable USB debugging.
Install the ADB/fastboot drivers and utilities on to your PC if you don't already have them. When "adb devices" shows your Shield, you're good to go.
Download the latest Super user zip file from the super user thread here.
Download and extract the recovery file from here. (it needs to be a .img not a .zip)
run "adb reboot bootloader". Your device should shut down, and display the Fastboot screen after a few seconds.
FOLLOW THE NEXT THREE INSTRUCTIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK. This WILL wipe all your user data, back it up with ADB first if you want to preserve it. DISCLAIMER #2: I have no idea if there are any DRM keys or anything that get wiped when this is done.
This step will unlock your bootloader to enable booting unsigned images.
Run "fastboot devices" and make sure your Shield is listed when you do so.
Run "fastboot oem unlock" and follow the prompts on the Shield's screen. You use the power button on the shield device itself to navigate the menu, and long press to select an option. Once you have confirmed, this can take along time to unlock (hour and a half for me on the Pro version). Your bootloader is now unlocked.
"Fastboot reboot" to reboot to AndroidTV.
run "adb push supersu.zip /sdcard/" (change supersu.zip to appropriate file name that you downloaded earlier). This will upload the SuperSU update zip to your device, which you'll install from TWRP.
Now, boot the TWRP image with: "fastboot boot RECOVERYFILENAME.img" - Note: I used this instead of "fastboot flash" so I could keep the stock recovery around, to grab an image of it after rooting. (change the name of the file in the instructions to the name of your recovery file that you downloaded).
After a short while you should now see a TWRP recovery menu.
Connect a keyboard or mouse via OTG cable, and select "Install", navigate to your SuperSU zip, select it, and follow the prompts.
Click "reboot" and you should now be rooted.

We have a factory supported way to unlock and root. No real point in trying to exploit the system. If you are rooted, you should have a custom recovery anyway, which means you need to unlock the bootloader anyway in case you need to fix something.
Hey, I have rooted my shield and I didn't backup my stock recovery, anyone have a stock recovery img, I want to update to 1.4

Can I still root it this way if I already updated to 1.4 as I'm still fully stock and took the OTA

I struggled to get root with this write up, and I am not a rookie. There were a few key steps missing, for example, you actually have to flash twrp, you can't just boot from twrp as suggested, if you are on 1.4 and up. Also, you have to let the unit reboot after you do the OEM unlock before flashing twrp. I didn't and mine just froze after flashing the recovery img. I found this write up http://nvidiashieldzone.com/index.php/shield-android-tv/root-shield-android-tv/
That one in the shield zone forum was so much more complete. And yes, it worked just fine with the 2.1 update. I did it yesterday with no problems. It will wipe out your data, and it will take a long time after you do the fastboot oem unlock, especially if you have the PRO version. But root is working with no problems.

Hi, i played around with my new OP3, and i wanted to root it. Since i'm noob at rooting, it went wrong. (i did it with twrp)
So first it just went in to bootloop, then i was still able to get to rcovery and stuff, but i followed a guide to fix bootloop, and that ****ed it even more up. The guide i followedet told me to use "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool"
After using "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool", i now cant even go into recovery anymore, the only thing i can do is go to bootloader, but when i'm in bootloader now, it wont connect proberly, so that i can use "flash twrp", so that i can use twrp recovery.
Also when i try to boot it, it because of "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool" goes into something, where it says "md5 checksum failed", and then restarts and does it again and again.....
I hope it's not bricked forever, pls help ))
have you tried re-flashing the stock or twrp recovery with adb sideload command?
if not give it a shot, it might work.

Just boot into bootloader mode and through command prompt check if your phone is detected by typing fastboot devices. If its detected then you flash a new recovery again. Forget the toolkit, just look for instructions on how to install a custom recovery.

In fastboot mode, did you manage to find your device on the computer? On Linux this is "sudo fastboot devices", on Windows it should be roughly similar.

Hey!
I'm not the expert but I have played with my 1+3 enough to have some knowledge.
First of all, do not use "all in one tools", those do not put you in control.
Cool, so fastboot is detected, though you can't get into the recovery?
Step 1) make sure you have the latest version of "fastboot" and "adb" (Android Debug Bridge) and unlock the bootloader. This tread should be helpfull: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/oneplus-3-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t3398733
You need to do this, because otherwise we will not be able to proceed (i.e. the phone is to be 'unlocked' for what we are about to do).
Step 2) If you are ready than let's flash a new recovery (TWRP):
This is also step 2 in the thread mentioned above. Very important: "Once the flash has completed, Don't use the "Fastboot Reboot" Command Instead Unplug Your phone then Manually boot it into recovery by keeping Power + Volume Down button pressed."
So once you have flashed a new recovery using fastboot, than you should reboot your phone into the new recovery!
step 3)
Once in the new recovery (TWRP) go to advanced and to ADB sideload. Make sure your computer detects your device with the command "adb devices" and flash a new ROM. Just for simplicity use the official OOS 3.2.4.
This should do the trick. Before you go and try make sure you understand EVERYTHING I have written. Let me know if you have questions.

Bro, download 3.2.4 oos rom zip file from official link. Its around 1.3 GB. Just connect ur OP3 to computer. It will detect as MTP device.Im my computer it was in the name of RAIN Transfer the zip file to internal storage. Wipe cache. And select install option in TWRP and select the zip file u pushed and flash it. Best of luck..

Hey i have the same problem but this fix does not work for me.
So I have the bootloader unlocked and I can enter the bootload and my computer detects my device which is nice.
when I flash twrp on my phone trough CMD it doesnt work, my PC tells me that everything is okay but my phone will not boot into twrp and instead it will give me weird errors.
---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------
this fix worked for me,
On the screen when the phone failed to md5 checksum, you've got several partition failed right? in red text.
- download this : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424942573
and then extract.
- download platform tools attached below. extract in the same folder with first file you've downloaded.
- Boot your phone to fastboot mode, plug your usb, make sure adb and fastboot driver are installed.
- on the folder, hold shift and right click, click open command here
- type fastboot devices
- make sure your serial number appear.
- now flash the img of the missing file according to the partition in red text on your ms5 checksum failed one by one.
- e.g. "fastboot flash boot_aging boot_aging.img.
- make sure you flash all the missing partition.
- type fastboot reboot.
this will boot you to oos 3.1.2.
unfortunately I couldn't extract the newest oos dat. data. but you could always take the OTA
goodluck mate. sorry for my english

Hmm bad try installing all op3 drivers and see whether phone is detected or not. I was in the same situation previously. Pushing zip through adp terminal is painful process. I got device offline first,after solving that i got service not recognized issue. For solving that usb debugging needs to be enabled i stuck in that step.
can you enter recovery trough fastboot mode? I.e. if you are in fastboot mode you van use the volume keys to select recovery.
100% sure you can't enter recovery?
you can try Fast and pro's option. let us know!
After failing some 1-click rooting methods, for the first time I tried to do it the hard way.
That turned out to be a pretty easy way thanks to some handy links to drivers and other files I found.

Did you try "flashboot boot twrp..." like in my guide or "flashboot flash twrp..."?
And which twrp image did you use?
In any case, if you can still get to the fastboot screen, try booting with the twrp image in Step 4 above (download links in the pastebin link)

Hi, "flashboot boot twrp" wasnt working at all, so i tried "flashboot flash twrp" and all i have is a bootloop. So after flashing recoveru i booted my phone to fastboot and run the command, " flashboot boot recovery recovery.img" where recovery is the custom recovery image and it booted into recovery. Then there is one more step to do that allowed me to finally boot into my os. Its working fine and i still have twrp installed on my phone

I wish I could.
Did you try "flashboot boot twrp..." like in my guide or "flashboot flash twrp..."?
And which twrp image did you use?
