Hello,
my aim here is to sort out things easily for beginner's, hence I made a detailed video on How To Root and Unlock Bootloader using TWRP and Magisk with the help of ADB drivers and Magisk. :laugh:
which is,
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery xxx.img
flash the TWRP and Magisk, you have a rooted device.
I have made a detailed Video, check it out,
Links are provided in the description and I will be updating it.
TWRP Credits to @eng.stk
Magisk Credits to @topjohnwu
while updating your ROM,
Flash the FULL ROM ZIP
Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache
Flash Masgik
to be on the safer side, reboot.
backup stock kernel
flash the custom kernel
you will continue to get the OTAs but in FULL ZIPs, not in Incremental Updates.
ROMs are updated here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-5t-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3708099/page5
hit thumbs up if you liked my work

yes, I have already updated, although I wouldn't suggest to flash now.
it has issues with Data Restore, stay on Unofficial for now.
Uh, ADB and Fastboot are tools. I'm betting more than 3/4 of first time flashers have most of their problems with drivers for ADB and Fastboot.
Just sayin.....

I'll be getting the OP5 T next month, so i'll be checking out your video then. As I definitely want to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP straight away
Nice video. Perhaps the phone portions could zoom in a little more, but you mention in the video links but I didn't see them. It would be helpful in your first post to have the links to adb/fb, recommended twrp, and magisk. That will save N00b from hunting around for the drivers and packages. Also when I make videos I tend to stay away from version numbers because they are always changing, that is why it's easier to update in the post, unless you expect to keep updating the video. HTH

Ok, I think I have messed up big time. Here is it.... I have has some experience with rooting and roms, but I think I am just a bit sleepy right now. What I did was download the aosp file, but when it download is was in the form of a folder. and I transferred it to my phone. Now I have wiped my phone and don't know what to do. I am on a mac. So i download the file again and right clicked and clicked compress. then pushed that on to the /sdcard/. but when i try to install the zip file it says install failed. When can I do?
Edit: following this fixes the issue.
can't post the link but just search "Jumping from ColorOS to CM11S" and it should be a link at one plus's website.

Generally you don't need to have root in your OS when you flash it.
Unlocking bootloader and putting on a recovery doesn't need root access.

Nobody has to get that done. It's already done. Fastboot OEM unlock unlocks the bootloader. And root with SuperSu or phh superuser. All we really need is TWRP.

lol u r correct, i forgot about that, i guess just have to wait on a TWRP then.
TWRP is actually waiting on you.
Join #twrp and you'll have it. (see signature for link, or click here)
Basically, we don't have the crypto libraries needed for decrypt because OnePlus hasn't made 3T firmware available yet.
I want you to install a half-working build of TWRP and guide you through making a full firmware flashing backup so I can use that to complete support.
Hop, skip, get to it!
(and no, you will get nothing good out of waiting for someone else to step up)
PS. if you post here saying you will come if no one else does, all you're doing is stopping other people from assisting
Update 1:42 AM EST: no one's showed up yet so I can only assume not many people have received their device yet. i'm gonna take a nap now and i'll be back on in ~10 hours... so about 12 PM EST maybe later. you won't find me online before then. (that's 5 PM UTC+0)

I was thinking, is it possible to do 'fastboot update supersu.zip' first, then backup all the partition first before doing anything. At a minimum you should be able to backup the recovery and rom partition so you can't screw up too bad, since there is no ROM image and official TWRP at the moment.

thanks to @dustin_b twrp is almost complete, I have backup images stored at https://build.nethunter.com/misc/oneplus3T/partitions/ for now which should work through fastboot flash (100% stock, untouched, all dd copies)
should have a public TWRP image up in an hour or 2
I hope that we will see CM14.1 in a week or two. Oxygen OS is a mess full of security bugs.

Hi everyone, I recently rooted my phone after becoming fed up with Motorola (my next phone will definitely be a OnePlus ) and I have now decided that I would like to install XPosed Framework. I really don't want to brick my phone, though I do have a backup, so I came here to ask anyway that has done this before. I am running Android Marshmallow 6.0 with the December security patch, by the way. So is there a way to install XPosed on the XT1575? If so please provide instructions (I already looked on XDA and could not find any helpful threads).
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Yes Xposed does work on the MXPE running 6.0 and the December update. I am running this myself. For full details on Xposed, the framework, Modules, and general information you need to go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed. Everything you need to know should be there regarding installing and finding out about specific modules.
Be aware that we do not have the factory firmware image for the latest ROM version, if something goes wrong it is possible that you could brick the device.
In the next few months we will hopefully be getting Nougat, and Xposed does NOT work with Nougat as of this posting.

I would suggest that you download the Xposed uninstaller on your computer and push it to your phone, then flash that.
First make sure you put the uninstaller in the directory with adb and fastboot and connect your phone with a us cable.
Second boot into recovery mode on your phone
Third type into your computer's command prompt 'adb push (and then the name of the uninstaller) /'
Four go to the install section of twrp and navigate to the / directory.
Five select the file and flash it (make sure zip verification is unchecked)
If you have any problems please message me, I'll help you out.
Here's the link to the uninstaller you'll want to download: http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/uninstaller/xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64.zip
If this doesn't work send me a message, I can try and help you further.

Hey guys, I just received the devices in the mail just now. Can anyone confirm that the post created by Kish9046 is still the only accurate way to gain root? Both devices are H9180P. Also, I'm looking for a stable rom that has volte and, stock camera. I am aware that some roms do affect the camera quality. Any ideas, knowledge, or opinions are greatly appreciated.

Just follow the laf exploit thread read and take your time numerous people have gained root. Alpha has a choice of the stock v20 camera and the v30 camera. I use the stock v20 camera and have no issues

OK thanks for the feedback and heads-up
Could I use an Type C adapter on my standard USB cable with a 3..0 quick charger head on the other end of the USB cable to get quick charge on this device? The cheap after market charger that came with this refurbished phone gets very hot and, I want to replace it.
I'm hearing that Tmobile is finally pushing out the oreo update for the H918, I don't have it yet. Does anyone know of how long it will take for everyone to get it?
While looking around and trying to compile TWRP and getting errors doing so, I have finall come accross a solution as to how to get GSI roms to boot, it seems we needed special flash instructions and im eve gonna test some other things later. But without further do, here are the instructions!
Step 1: Go here and read instructions CAREFULLY! "https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/"
Step 2: We need special flash instructions so flash this command. "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" (Special flashing instructions here https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...18&postcount=2)
Step 3: if it doesnt work, try again. I am currently booting into Phh-Treble.
Step 4: Rejoice as we can now get away from stock!
Credits where credit is due !
UPDATE: Okay so, pretty sure dm-verify is making it so it doesnt fully boot :/ still working on it.
Good News?

Will do, rooting is fairly easy. is the att version? or global. i have the att version but flashed the global version stock rom.
I believe its the global version. I don't have att network.

what you want to do is downlaod the stock rom, unzup it to desktop. copy your boot.img to your phone. download magisk manager from the xda thread. install the manager and then patch the boot.img. reboot the phone and you'll see it in your downlads. copy that to your stock rom folder (you'll need adb and fastboot files). run the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and youre rooted. but at this current time root is kinda pointless.
also... be sure to check out the root guide first. forgot you need to unlock bootloader and critical.

I'm kind of a noob in this regard. Can I PM you to get further Details on the rooting?
"but at this current time root is kinda pointless."
Also your right about this. There's currently no effective use for it right now. But there will soon be more in the future for the phone i believe. I think more people are starting to communicate and experiment with the RP2

Yea I can't find any reason so far to root or custom ROM.
Hmm, I thought I had tried that. Guess I'll go anywhere try again ?

i read more on the razer forum that it was the same with them as well, except they can flash pie roms too using a baked boot image with magisk in it.

Does everything work? Are you able to change the displays refresh rate and resolution or the logo backlight? Do you have WiFi and speaker issues? I'm really just after better stability
