Longtime OnePlus owner (3T and then 5). The 5 is still a great device for me overall but I've never been thrilled with the camera (no OIS) or the intermittent GPS Lock issues I've had.
The 7T is on sale though it may be a bit large for me. The 4A looks like it will be very cheap and have a good camera.
Anyway, I know that devices that ship with Android 10 don't yet have TWRP so this would apply to both devices, but I've never rooted without it. I've seen the instructions using the patched boot image method. It seems straight-forward, but also risky.
Any thoughts from those of you who've always used TWRP and are now unlocking the bootloader, rooting with Magisk, and installing Edxposed without TWRP? Do you find that to be overly risky for a daily driver, or just fine if you follow instructions?
It's been good for me personally on my 7t, as I follow instructions. I sim unlocked mine within 3 days, bootloader unlocked within a week, converted to international firmware and then to a custom rom and I've landed on msm extended. You generally extract a bin file with python to get the fastboot files for a custom rom, and then flash them in fastboot or some roms have fastboot files with a bat file for windows that's super easy to use, just one click to install like in msm extended vs extracting files and then manually flashing like in omni.
Aside from my ramblings root is really easy to get, you generally(not always it depends on the rom I think) boot the patched boot img and then direct install in magisk manager. So fastboot boot \magisk.img ( or whatever file path and img name) or you can direct install to the inactive slot if you took an update(depends on rom I think) So basically take the boot.img from the rom or update, patch in magisk manager, boot it from your pc, and then direct install or to the inactive slot.
TLDR: it is safe if you follow instructions and can read.
Side notes, xposed is generally a privacy risk and threat so I wouldn't use that. Mods like xprivacylua are crap and don't actually work, use Blocker for trackers and analytics blocking.
And twrp is not too far off at this point, they've been slowly developing it and the chinese already have a full functioning one for the 7t(don't use it, not open source)

Thanks, I might just wait for the non-Chinese TWRP before jumping in. TWRP has saved me from a few mis-steps along the way.
EdXposed - Yes, there are security issues with it and it's a hassle getting the correct variant these days, but I use GravityBox which requires EdXposed.

This is my first one plus device coming from a pixel 2 XL which I honestly loved so much like the way it just felt and I never rooted or messed with things like that since my Motorola nexus 6 lol I was a bit nervous but followed the steps and instructions and I'm rooted latest stock oos with blu_spark kernel and yet to run into any issues yet so if I can you would be able to aswell as long as you follow all steps on whatever it is you want to do your good.

I've always rooted my nexus phones and installed the bevy of apps out there but with my 5X I'm going to go no root for a while and see if I can survive... I need app replacements for a few apps, any suggestions would be welcomed
- viper4android
- volume booster that would come in effect if flashed a kernel
- colour control

Sorry I can't help you but I am in the same boat. I want to wait until developers get root with encryption nailed down, there seems to be a bunch of steps and no one is quite sure how root should be handled with 6.0
Never used colour control but I will miss the volume booster. I keep seeing comments about viper4android, time to check it out.

Fair enough. I'm in the same boat waiting for certain the process for root and encryption, guess I'll sit tight and just work with what I have. As for viper4android, probably my #1 app, love the sound quality that produces.
I'm trying rootless too. I mainly rooted in the recent past (Sam Gal S4) to use TiBu to freeze all the VZW/Sam crap. Since thats not there now, I think I'm good.
I am also going rootless for now, not sure if I should unlock bootloader or wait..
Will be rooting here soon. Missing the root life from my S4 and the likes of Viper4Android.
I honestly think there's no reason to NOT root at this point. It's SO EASY to return back to stock using factory images, I been rooted with twrp for a week and the phone has been working GREAT fast and smooth. Only problem is for some reason wells fargo app isn't compatible with marshmallow
What could go wrong? all you have to do is flash chainfires modded boot image and viola, easy as pie.
If you wish to root, go right ahead! The procedure is simple and documented clearly in Heisenberg's [GUIDE] Unlock/Root/Flash for Nexus 5X
The same guide also explains how to return to stock (by flashing a factory image).
It's all explained in the guide. It is worth noting that the root process requires one to flash a modified boot.img, which is currently available only for the MDB08I build. So you can only root if you're on that build or can upgrade to it...
Hopefully a 'cleaner' root procedure (with encryption support for those that wish to have it) will emerge, but there are no guarantees.
Also see: A Look at Marshmallow Root & Verity Complications
one reason I haven't rooted yet is the little updates that always come quick after a new release. They will come, and spending an hour fastbooting is just getting old for me. I think I've turned into an old man, I'm just too lazy to wipe/flash/ download set up all over again. Things have come a long way since the N1.
Absolutely though, when exposed and gravity box are good for 6.0 I'm in.
I need some help and I've looked all over but the information is fragmented and there is too many unfamiliar acronyms used which make it incredibly difficult for some like myself to catch up. So for the benefit of others who may be new I wanted to get some additional guidance.
I got the Pixel XL Google Version
Objectives:
1. Root with the ability to hide root so other apps will work
2. Native Mobile Hotspot
3. The ability to easily receive android updates without having to reflash etc..
4. Stay close to stock if possible, but willing to explore other options as long as security is trusted, and has good
compatibility.
5. Security is a concern, I tried a rom in the past with a Galaxy S4 and swear it had a backdoor installed in the rom.
What do you guys recommend? And how do I go about doing it?
Thank you!
If security is truly a concern you will not unlock your bootloader and root your phone.
Otherwise it all depends on which version phone you have, Verizon or Google?
1. You need magisk root for that.
3. No updates when you are rooted
4.5. Never heard of any custom rom with a backdoor. That's absolutely bull****. More likely it was an app you installed.
Unlocked bootloader is a security issue, so better to stay on full stock.
Root is a big security issue so better stay on full stock.
Jokes aside the only security issue is your phone gets stolen or you install apps outside playstore.
If you stay encrypted and use a hard pattern with fingerprint you are fine and there is always the way to delete your phone when it gets stolen.

My point about security really was that it's quite possible a ROM could have a backdoor. That a side..
Root is not a big security issue for me as long as the rom is trusted etc..
Shouldn't I be able to turn root off then be able to update and turn it back on again?

It's possible to root to one slot with SuperSU while the other slot remains unrooted, and then the phone can be switched between slots with TWRP or fastboot commands. Kernels have been posted with safetynet patches, to hide that the bootloader is unlocked, but I'm not sure if any are available with the software version on my phone's current slot. As noted, Magisk can also hide root and that the bootloader is unlocked, so it's probably less hassle than trying to root and hide using SuperSU.

FlashFire can use the OTA to update and stay rooted with SuperSU. The past couple months I've used FlashFire to update my phone, and it seems quicker and easier than the sideloading and reinstalling process I had been using. I'm not aware of anything similar to FlashFire for Magisk users, so to me it seems like you would have to decide if 1 or 3 is more personally important.

While reading I got the impression that I might be able to uninstall SuperSU and use the OTA update, but that didn't work with SuperSU the times I tried it, so I presume something SuperSU changed or something I did with root must have caused the update to fail. I haven't read the Magisk threads as much, yet I've seen that other SuperSU users also indicate that OTA updates no longer worked for them after rooting the phone.

Wow thanks for the great reply! It's so refreshing!
What do you mean by root one slot?
The phone has two "slots" for Android. The basic idea is that you have two copies of Android on the phone that share the same user data. On a stock phone it's intended to allow for less noticeable updates, and it also can allow the phone to fall back to the previous software version if something goes wrong with an update. On the May update my phone did automatically switch between slots, due to what is discussed in the second link below. The first link below gives some information and additional links to discussion about the slots on these phones.

You should be ok with unlocked device from Google.
Magisk method doesn't work yet on PixeXL...coming soon.
We also don't have a flashable TWRP for Oreo. Guess we have to fastboot into it.
There seem to be 2 threads in this Guide form detailing unlock/root for Oreo. Haven't figured out which one to use yet.

This guide is the easiest to follow.
I am in the same boat as you and after some researching it's fairly straight forward. Don't root or flash a kernel via fastboot, that is the outdated method, use TWRP.
Follow the guide. The biggest thing is flashing RC2. Magisk isn't working, don't even bother with it until it's updated, use SuperSU for the time being. From what I've read Magisk is close to being done.
When flashing ROMs or anything via twrp, keep an eye on which slot is active (go to reboot in twrp, it will tell you which slot is active) If you flash something and it boots back to twrp, reboot into the other slot and try restarting the system.
The biggest thing is to not mess with installing/flashing stuff when you're not around a computer you can use fastboot on. You might get stuck with a non-booting phone or not have TWRP to boot into and would need to fastboot into the RC1.img
Hi, my Mix2 arrived few days ago and I find MiUI quite nice, yet lacking few things. Those are easily available via xposed, hence I need to root. I'm also not so lucky in these matters so before I start to tinker with it I'd like to learn few things.
What are least dangerous ways to unlock and root phone? (heard sth about magisk, its quite new for me, haven't been rooting phones for couple years now) Is it good?
Suppose I succeed unlocking, rooting and flashing xposed, can I relock bootloader? I want that because ie AndroidPay needs that to work, and I haven't found any working rootcloack or similar (at least on Note2)
How reliable is 'the most official tool' for xiaomi flashing (from eu.xiaomi.com ?)? I mean can it bring back the dead or revert phone back to where I started, without any trace of tinkering?
As a new xiaomi owner are there any critical things I need to know?
Thanks!
If you flash magisk, which is the best thing ever btw, you won't have to relock bootloader to get Android pay working.

It's generally considered to be dangerous to relock a bootloader with anything other than perfectly stock/factory firmware installed. It may be ok to do this technically but it sort of "ties your hands" in some ways after making an unofficial modification and makes it a bit harder to recover from a botched situation.
You can have an unlocked bootloader and still use Android Pay. This can be achieved either with a ROM that is built to accomplish this (Epic ROM is an example of this) or by using Magisk, which allows root without any sort of SafetyNet trip in many cases. I don't believe there's *any* way to install Xposed and also use Android Pay or any other SafetyNet apps...the best alternative if you really want Xposed is to use Magisk and then install the Xposed Magisk module...you still can't pass SafetyNet with this setup but Magisk allows you to disable Xposed if you're willing to uncheck it in the Magisk Manager app and reboot the phone, after which time SafetyNet should pass ok...at least with this setup you'll be able to kind of have your cake and eat it too, though it's not ideal as you'll have to reboot if you want to change the status of Xposed.

I tried AndroidPay few times past few days and it didn't work at all. Perhaps terminals were not compatibile. So lets say I gave up on AndroidPay - can I use regular Xposed along with Magisk? Or does it have to be that module?

Oh! I think I may be able to help you with the Android Pay issue - my phone didn't work right with Android Pay until I made sure *all* Google apps' permissions were allowed via the Apps menu in Settings (along with "Autostart" via the security app)...and also toggled the NFC setting where it lets you select between "embedded secure element" and "HCE Wallet." It probably is on "HCE Wallet" but try toggling to "embedded secure element" and then back to "HCE Wallet" a couple of times. My Mix 2 would not make a terminal connection until I did this...it would just say "card read error." Seems like a firmware bug. Let me know if that helps!
But yeah if you don't want to use Android Pay then normal Xposed should be fine...you wouldn't need Magisk I don't think. Though, I'm not sure but I think the Magisk Xposed module probably functions the same as normal Xposed so I'm not sure there's an advantage in doing so. But of course it's all about personal preference!
Whoah, I'm still new to xiaomi/android7+ policies, where each app's permissions are reduced to bare minimum (messenger not being able to show notifications for example). I will definitely try this tomorrow.
So far I just managed to unlock BL, flash recovery and install magisk. SafetyNet checks ok. Will try xposed tomorrow after some payments ;D Thanks!
HCE wallet worked for me (I had it set to SIM wallet).
If I understand correctly here is the possible solution to xposed+magisk+androidPay.
I'd need phh's su binaries for that and keep crossing fingers for it to work on 7.1
I need to learn more about that stuff before I break something
So as I was expecting I experience troubles in installing Xposed.
I followed official way as in here And got bootloop.
I removed magisk stuff in recovery and fixed bootloop, then installed v89.0 (not .1) and also bootloop.
Im using SDK25, and miui 9 - 7.1.1 so it should be ok I think

Hi @Mighty_Ahti, how much time was "longer"? it's been loading for over 5 minutes already. Thanks
Certainly below 5 minutes.
Thought I read we getting a final December update.
We are, according to Google.
As for custom ROMs after the fact, most of the Android 11 versions seem to not want to include Active Edge support because it's proprietary. This is despite Active Edge functions being reverse engineered (which is, if I recall, totally legal). While a bit of a bummer, I'll have to get used to it: the 2020 Pixel models don't have Active Edge at all.
That happened rather silently, I was kind of expecting some sort of notification. Guess now I need to work out how to put a custom ROM on this thing so I get security updates, without disclosing its rooted thus breaking all my banking apps. Hopefully that's still an option, haven't rooted in years...

Heres the basics of the steps forward
Going forwards only fastboot TWRP, do not install it
Backup your loved stuff on internal storage
1) unlock bootloader (instructions here)
2) reboot bootloader (at command prompt with platform tools installed: adb reboot bootloader)
3) at command prompt: fastboot boot twrp-xxxx.img
TWRP:
Walleye (Pixel 2)
Taimen (Pixel 2XL)
You want to download the latst .img file
4) wipe/factory reset accordign to ROM instructions and flash ROM (& G-Apps if needed - depending on ROM) and setup
5) reboot to bootloader adb reboot bootloader
6) fastboot twrp again fastboot boot twrp-xxxx.img
7) flash magisk (then enable MagiskHide in Magisk Manager - good enough for *most* banks - otherwise hide Magisk Manager itself, or other specific help in Magisk threads)
8) if need be (depending on ROM, some pass Safetynet out of box) use Magiskhide Props Config also in the magisk repo, to pass safetynet
9) if using Google Pay, theres a magisk module for that that i maintain. its NOT in the magisk repo (dont ask why)

Interesting, was unaware of that, is this dependant on whether its a fork of the stock ROM or not? I was considering LineageOS, so presumably need the full works there.
