Rooting OnePlus 2 - OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since we won't get any updates I've decided to root my device but before I do so I would like to know if the official root tutorial uploaded by OnePlus would work with Oxygen OS 3.6.0 and what are the usual problems that may come with a failed root.

Yes it will work. Oneplus' firmware is easy to root. You'll not lose any data on unlocking the bootloader either(not guaranteed. I didn't). Just go ahead with it.

Ok, so just to make sure I download the latest TWRP version for OP2 and the latest SuperSU (2.82) and follow the tutorial and I should be fine?

Thanks!
Do you use Hydrogen for yourself?
I'm a Chinese user. Be aware that Hydrogen OS do not permit OTA if you root! That means you are stuck on the current version of Hydrogen with all OTA failling to install. You will have to flash the full package following every update. So I do not recommend Hydrogen OS.

Not at the moment but if my EU variant doesn't get the 150807 update soon I may give it a try.

Yeah, sounds like any typical BBK ROM (Vivo, Oppo) in that rooted ROMs won't OTA.
However, I do remember temporarily fastbooting TWRP on my Find 5 and Find 7 then dirty flashing over the previous ROM. Sometimes it'd not like it and hang to the point of needing a full wipe anyway.

Dirty flash is a good solution. However there are folks in Chinese supporting forum warning the full update package clears everything except internal storage. So you may want a backup or modification on the script before dirty flash. just in case.
DO NOT FLASH THE ZIP!

1 question.
possible to share step by step how to FLASH back from oxygen OS to Hydrogen OS?
thanks.
Oneplus Two without root.
I had flashed successfully flashed hydrogenOS n had also successfully update through OTA an update
Mine is a China set on OxygenOS. So those who said one cannot update it through OTA could be mistaken
My phone is rooted
Anyone tested this Rom? And the new version? Please post your reviews and possibly some screenshots if you can.
Thanks in advance
It's awesome. It's a way more smoother then oxygen os. Battery life also awesome, no lags by using the home button. It'd rly great. What u want to see as Screenshot?

Hello guys, I've seen that some people complains that if You root Your phone You can not OTA. IMHo it is a bull**** but Can someone tell how it really is?
For the moment I dont see any ota, it's possible that u don't get ota.. But maybe it's related to deactivated apps. Will report when I see a ota.

Oreo ROM - root

Hey guys
Soon I'm planning to upgrade my nougat to the beta build which you can find here. Does anyone have a good method to root the system afterwards? I'll try simply flashing SuperSU zip, but I doubt it will work, because it didn't even work on the older 7.1 OS.
Any suggestions or good advice with the upgrade & root process?
Thanks

If you use the TWRP backup that has magisk pre-installed you just need to install magisk manager and reflash magisk and you're good to go.

Also in nougat flashing SuperSU doesn't work, you have to use CFAutoRoot to get SuperSU working.

Nope. SuperSU does work in Nougat. I'm flashing latest SuperSU 2.82 SR5 on December build using TWRP and root works just fine.

How to update to PIE official (unlocked Bootloader with TWRP)

Guys today morning I got the OTA UPDATE to PIE. I am currently on v340 with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP already installed.
Should I go with the OTA update? Will it cause any errors?

Stay on oreo, pie is a disappointment over oreo in many ways, like BB reduced, sound quality reduced, no night light and most important you can't play PUBG in HD and many more.
If you really want to taste pie then you can use custom pie roms otherwise stay on stock oreo.

Can I update or not? I don't care if I lose TWRP. I don't play PUBGM. Will it cause any issues as my phone already has TWRP. Can I simply download the OTA and get on with the installation.

If your bootloader is unlocked then it's not a good idea to update via FOTA in my opinion. Wait for until someone made a flashable Twrp zip.

To install any rom using twrp you must download the rom and place it in your storage
Then boot into twrp
Click on install and and browse to your file click on it and flash it...
You can also do clean flash by wiping your sytem and data before flashing....
I saved update file on SD card, restarted mobile and update proces itself started.
Everything was fine.

I think I should wait till someone makes a TWRP flashable zip. Way too much hassle, again going back to stock rom using adb, then updating the rom, then installing Twrp and magisk again.

ROOT and OTA updates

Hi, I received my MI9T and I want to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP and the EU rom and then Magisk...
But before doing this... How do the OTA updates work?
I can update the phone or should I un-root the phone every time?
Every week i flash new update throw twrp, works fine
Gregor, which twrp are you using?
I've already asked this, and after some experimentation I can confirm this way works:

Question Switch from EEA to Global?

How can I do it please. I'm on rooted 1.1.3 EEA. OTA-Update fails.
So I will test to update with global to 1.1.6.
Is this possible? Thanks in forward.

Since you are on 1.1.3 you can use the unbrick tutorial without a problem. No need to convert to global.
Yes I also interested in converting to global from EEA any tutorial?

Follow the unbrick tutorial and use gobal fiiles instead of EEA. What do you expect from this ?
Im still on 1.1.4 when global on 1.1.6 I think global get updates faster. Do I need unlock bl?

OTA fails because you are rooted...
1. Go to magisk manager
2. Uninstall magisk > restore images (Don't Reboot!)
3. Install OTA
4. Go to magisk, Install > install to inactive slot
5. Reboot
I did that method since 1.1.2 and I'm on 1.1.6 EEA right now.
Restore images does not work for me. I don't know why.
So, this method is not working for me.

Get the stock unpatched boot.img then and flash it with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

I don't know why it's not working for you. Maybe you're doing something wrong.
I've now again flashed full "Nothing113EEA" by "*#*#682#*#*".
The updates are now working. Now I'm at "NOTHING116EEA".
I hope it is possible to update in future the incremental updates.
Nothing will not release more "Full.zip" either Global nor EEA.

I'm having the same problem, how did you flashed the full "Nothing113EEA" again?
When I try it said that it cant flash because it is an old vesion
I was at 1.1.3. Now, you can flash the Full.zp of 1.1.6. It is released.
