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.

Should I flash whole os using twrp. Or should I flash Via adb sideload?

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!

For some reason this recovery causes facebook and facebook messenger apps to continuously crash over and over, other than that so far everything is great!

@Valera1978
Amazing! Thanks for sharing with us!

@Valera1978
Sooooooo cool! :good:
....and.....while not using F*ckbook, I don't care about crashing messengers and so on. :evel:

I installed this recovery and everything is ok except when trying to restore modem
I backed up my system to install official firmware to test some stuff
Then i reinstalled the recovery and tried to restore my backup but it was failing when restoring the modem
I deselected the modem and restored everything else and all ok

Same here. Failing restoring the modem.

The latest official Version doesn't work either (crash):
twrp-3.2.1-0-viennaltexx
The latest working version for my p905 is:
twrp-3.0.2-0-viennaltexx
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynotepro122qcom.html

i flashed twrp recovery sucessfully thru odin..but when i tried to boot to recovery it's still stock firmware recovery not twrp recovery please help

The bootloader is unlooked?
Could you start into the bootloader?
If yes, you can flash the recovery via fastboot

after five times I have managed
My big problem now is how do I activate HDMi?
have a MHL cable micro usb to HDMi when I plug it in nothing happens

Thanks a lot for this TWRP 3.2.2-0 it works nice with SM-P905, and Valera1978 Android 9 Pie ROM.
Easy install, Valera1978 TWRP 3.2.2-0 img from Official TWRP 3.0.2-0 viennalte.
Format f2fs, And latest magisk

Successfully TWRP flash thru Odin, observe the progress in Odin left bottom corner and prepare for this; "directly" when flash finished "force recovery start" (volume up home and startbutton until recovery starts)
Not fast enough" stock recovery autorestore ! Doitagain.

About bootloader (4.4.2 KK)
Hi,
I've just got a SM-P905 on 4.4.2 kitkat (stock). I'd like to flash one of your ROM (probably the LOS 17.1) and this recovery first.
Should I just flash it through Odin or do I need to unlock the bootloader? In that case, could you please drive me to a tutorial? I've searched a lot on this forum on howto unlock the SM-P905 bootloader (or just if it comes -the 4.4.2 version at least- with an unlocked one already) but I haven't found anything on it.
Thanks in advance

Flash TWRP only, through Odin.
Then flash ROM, GApps, and optional Magisk, through TWRP.
Magisk needed for root-apps, or to hide root.
(flash bootloader and modem not needed, only sometime later, if your modem are to old, and SIM not working)

Done a couple of days after my post. Forgot to report. Then flashed LOS 17, gapps (pico) and Magisk. Everything's ok.
Thanks for your answer.
Anyway, now it can be said that the P905 with stock 4.4.2 KK has the bootloader unlocked.

Hi, I've downloaded twrp-3.2.2.0-viennaltexx.img.tar and flashed by Odin, but twrp doesn't installed. In Developer settings I have not OEM unlock option.

What is your actual stock firmware on it?
You can try latest official .tar and then work your way up to this.

¿Update TWRP?

Hi... I´m in Android One 8.1 Stock, Magisk 18.1 with TWRP 3.2.3-0 (No SD support)
I installed these TWRP flashing via adb and flash in TWRP the installer (With USB-OTG)
Now, ¿How to upgrade to TWRP 3.3.0-0 (twrp-daisy-3.3.0-0-offain)?
I see twrp-daisy-3.3.0-0-offain.img and twrp-installer-daisy-3.3.0-0-offain.zip
¿What is the process to upgrade the TWRP?
In other devices only flash the img in TWRP to boot, but in this device i don´t know...
Regards...

same step as u install the old twrp:
boot twrp.img with fastboot
flahs twrp installer.zip

I have twrp whit sd fix on mi mi A2 Lite whit Android pie on v10.07.0

To install twrp, flash the zip from twrp.
You onky need to boot twrp from fastboot the first time so you can do that.
Can't just flash an image because twrp lives on the boot partition.

That is not the right section to ask that...

Rooting issues

I have a Pixel 3 XL and I was following this Guide to root it.
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-unlock-bootloader-root-magisk/
When I get to part 2-10 (The part to install Magisk) my phone wont boot into the OS. Instead I end up back at TWRP. If I reinstall TWRP from my download folder or restore a back up I can get back into the OS. I still have TWRP installed but no root. I know I'm doing something wrong but I'm not sure. Like I've said TWRP is install but not Magisk.

What Android version; Pie or Q, stock or custom? What Magisk version? Are you booting to TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img) or did you flash twrp to the device?

I did this from a blank slate. Pie, stock, the newest version if Magisk 19.3. I flashed twrp to my device.

Try clean fastboot flashing the stock boot.img back onto the phone. You can get it from the fastboot factory img. Then just boot TWRP to flash the Magisk zip. The Magisk zip will need to be on the device for the booted TWRP to find it just like if you were running TWRP installed on the device.
An alternative is to use Magisk manager to patch the stock boot.img and then fastboot flash that patched img to the device.

I tried the easiest method first, which was installing the Magik app and flashing the zip, I got the following error,
Device platform: arm64-v8a
copying image to cache
Unpacking boot image
! Unsupported/Unkown image format
! Installation failed
I'll try flashing the stock image, but should I flash twrp again after the image? I've done this before in the past because some phones require it as part of the rooting instructions. Does this order sound right, flash stock image, reboot, flash twrp reboot, then Magisk?

Just tried the beta version (19.4) and I'm stuck in a standard bootloop. I'll try and get it into recovery.

No worries, I forgot to mention that I restored a back up

I'm on pie, but your first suggestion was the fix. I had to flash the factory img before doing everything else. I just had to put a little more time a side and not be lazy.

[Rooted Android 10] Random restarts when screen turns on.

Flashed Android 10 Factory images and rooted with Magisk 20.3. Phone gets rooted but facing random restarts when screen turns on. No way I'm able to fix it. I would be really thankful if anyone could help..

Try to go to recovery and reboot to system
Root method ia not fixed yet. If you reboot your root phone will stuck in boot loop.
You may reflash firm via odin and do not root.
You can check in telegram group about twrp recoveries.

My rooted phone is booting and working well. It's just random reboots that's the problem.

You have to use magisk 19.3, not 20.3

True magisk 19.3 is stable..... I use it on android 9.0
