Not 100% sure about that... TWRP definitely won't have problems with newer firmware, but ROM itself might have (I'm not following BJRR, don't know what it supports).

I know there were issues with home button when new firmwares came and I think that's due to ROM-firmware connection, not related to TWRP.

Well, you can try it ðŸ˜Š Shouldn't be too much of a problem flashing old firmware back in case something goes wrong.

Still trying to confirm 100% one way or the other, will re-locking bootloader wipe data? Like others, I unlocked the bootloader from day one incase I wanted to put CM on.

Recovery and OS are stock and NOT rooted so hopefully just need to re lock to allow android pay again.

Can anyone help me please?

Hey, guys. I've got a problem with root installing on op3 open beta 8.

After flashing zip file (I've tried 2.78 standard, and 2.78 SR5) phone goes to bootloop.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rhinohead:
Hello, on the link I get a recovery.img and a SuperSU

Should I download the new 2.78 SuperSU instead of the one on this link?

With the recovery, should I used the CM Recovery image instead of the one provided? (migrating to CM)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:
Try clean flashing again and then using 2.78 SR5, it has to work.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ILLnar:
The only reason why i need to root my device is to able to do backup via titanium backup which requires root. So if I'll do clean flashing, i will loose all my data.

One more question. Which version of twrp is recommended for open beta 8? Maybe i use wrong version. I'm using 3.0.2-1.28 now
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:
Oh ... Well, I'd try dirty flashing again then.

And do a nandroid backup, even if something goes wrong you can always restore it.

1-28 is OK, I used that and don't have any issues.

Hello, i have a question: my phone is completely stock, running OOS 3.2.8, are the files provided in this thread compatible?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.RSN:
Even i had encountered the same problem and the only solution to this is yo need to first wipe the data and then transfer the Super su SR5 file via TWRP in your phone without booting and setting up your phone and then install the Supersu file and then boot the phone normallly and you are good to go.

Also,you would get the dm-verity error and to overcome that you need to flash this file http : / / tinyurl. com / dmverity via TWRP and the message wont show up again while booting up your phone.

Hope i helped.

DID IT WORK WITH NOUGAT?

YES!!, I downloaded Oxygen OS 4.0 yesterday with Nougat included and is the BEST that could have ever happened to my OP3. EVEN with Xposed not working, Greenify works fine and I dare to say that the battery life is a little bit better or the same as it was with MM 6.0.1 with all battery tweaks. Only Greenify works (of all battery tweaks I have) and it's awesome.

The DPI change is AWESOME, my screen now looks BIGGER and is more faster to type. I'm totally pleased with it.

The blu_spark version does resolve the issue of twrp not starting at all, but this version of twrp requires a password

my usual password (and others, I've changed them around a bit in Android) as well as default_password dont let you in and thus no rooting, flashing or anything... :(

any ideas towards this?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:
A known bug ... Try either latest version or older 23 or 22, I've heard people reporting success with those.

I luckily didn't have issues with 28 so I didn't spend much time looking into solutions.

I have a problem with my phone.

I was trying to go stock recovery but when I rebooted into fastboot mode, I forgot to turn on OEM unlock in developer settings.

I managed to lock the bootloader but when I tried to flash the stock recovery (or anything else) it says FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed)

Now I when i boot into recovery it shows the OP logo and then black screen. When i turn on the phone normally it shows a screen asking me to enter the android password (which i dont have)

So i can't flash anything and neither sideload a ROM.

EDIT: Solved with this guide although my phone wasn't fully bricked.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregferns:
YES, I lost all data.... but i was prepared to the best possible case

as i had backed up most of my stuff on my laptop.

What i did was

1. UNLOCK Bootloader (AS i was on 3.2.8 non rooted stock)

2. Flashed many TWRP recoveries which used to not happen as it was giving blank screen and then if i rebooted it used to go to stock recovery.

3. Then flashed the experimental recovery mentioned in this thread.

4. It asked for password but solution to that is WIPE DATA partition....

5. Then i tried flashing SUPERSU... It worked but i didnt get proper root and i also lost ALL NETWORK SIGNALS... both sims... SO i flashed LATEST SUPERSU from chainfire's website and then everything was ok.

Hope this helps.

Is this recovery specific to OOS version or it is universal OP3 stock recovery?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mit2nil:
By "WIPE DATA partition" do you mean twrp->wipe->data or bootloader->"fastboot format userdata" because ...

I did WIPE Data partition, rebooted phone, reinstalled all apps (100+) from my google account backup (which was done when I had screen lock on - not sure if that is the issue) and tried to do nandroid backup and again ran into same password issue. I had ensured that I do not have screen lock or any lock even before I started the process of unlocking and even before installing twrp and after installing it and before nandroid backup.

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------

Ok I just did "fastboot format userdata" and again try to do nandroid backup but same password error. Now I am going to not restore from my google account instead setup new. I do not have any important data as such other than list of apps that I am using and google calender/contacts etc. which I can get it back later.

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

F**K even after setting up fresh after doing "fastboot format userdata" -> I am getting "Enter Password" prompt in twrp. I am using twrp-3.0.2-1.28-oneplus3.img as mentioned in previous posts and I am on latest stock OOS 4.0.1 released recently. This is my first attempt of rooting. My bootlocke is unlocked and twrp is installed.

Someone please help. currently, I am just going to keep using my device because unless I get nandroid backup of full device I don't want to mess with anything.

Also a side note, original instructions are really clear but it can be improved for noobs like me. e.g. first step was to do fastboot oem unlock and then fastboot reboot. Now, after first command it asks for the confirmation on the device screen even though command was executed in terminal. I wasn't sure what to do at that time. I knew i have to do unlock so I used menu keys to confirm and then it rebooted by its own. Not sure why we need fastboot reboot command.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nine5raptor:
What I did:

I guessing you are rebooting prior to going to twrp and the storage is re-encrypting. Try turning on mtp mode in TWRP after wiping user data. Mount data partition. Push SuperSU to your storage and flash it. Then reboot. I'm still unencrypted following my steps from above.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mit2nil:
In one of my attempt as I described above I did try to do nandroid before rebooting and it had worked but that is not so useful in future if I can't backup data partition as well. Core issue here is why it is getting encrypted or rather why can't twrp decrypt ?

---------- Post added at 05:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 AM ----------

I even tried doing factory reset from twrp, then rebooted, installed some apps, again tried to do nandroid backup -> Fail - same encryption issue. I tried to do advanced wipe of data + cache + dalvik cache but twrp failed to even mount davik cache and couldn't do clean. However, factory reset (default wipe option) worked not sure how it was different from manually selecting data+cache+dalvik cache in advanced wipe option.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Maybe someone will post a step by step tutorial about rooting OOS 4.0.1. The whole procedure it's a little messy, with different versions of TWRP (modded or original), different SuperSU, etc.

I tried to root my OP3, too but everything failed: the encryption is still there and the SuperSU didn't flashed successfully.

I guess they changed the encryption method that's why it's so difficult to apply root.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mit2nil:
Thanks [MENTION=7992510]carmazan[/MENTION] . Good to hear that I didn't messed up in following procedure but there is genuine change in procedure.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregferns:
Sorry about the late reply.

TRY THE NEW RECOVERY FROM BLU_SPARK... That should help as it is very optimised for OP3 now...

Below is the link for the thread

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3/development/kernel-t3404970

Go to downloads and download this one https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=22429

Should help sort out most of your issues.

As for wipe,, yes i wiped only data.....

Did you try FORMAT option from WITHIN TWRP ?? If not, then please try doing that...

Also, fastboot oem unlock etc are basic commands for any unlocking... { I KNOW YOU WILL SAY I AM A NOOB, BUT SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE BY READING A LOT,,, YOU WILL UPGRADE YOURSELF TO NOOB+1 :) :) } Fastboot reboot is really not required (i think)... you can reboot normally but better to reboot into TWRP once before you reboot system...

Hope this helps...

In the above posts your talking of NANDROID.... Did you manage to get proper root after flashing LATEST SUPERSU ??

Greg
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mit2nil:
No I didn't proceed to flashing SuperSU step because I couldn't take nandroid backup. What I understood by reading the original guide is nandroid backup is very essential before doing anything with device because it can restore your efs, some other non OS and data partition that come secured from OEM.

I found out from various other thread that issue was with TWRP v28 on OOS 4.0.1.

Now I am just waiting for things to settle down and find stable TWRP and suitable SuperSU. Recent v12 version of TWRP was also released and then pulled back because of some issue

I'm on 4.0.2, is it possible to unlock the boatloader or I'll have to revert to Marshmallow?

I've followed these guides, my 1+3 serial is listed by "adb devices" while "OS is on", but when I reboot to fastboot it won't be listed by adb...
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] AcmE85:
You have to use "fastboot" in fastboot-mode (Bootloader).

ADB only works inside the recovery or system.

1. type in fastboot devices

this should list your 1+3 serial

2. type in fastboot oem unlock

follow the instructions on your device

This will wipe your complete storage!

When everything is done you have F2FS as filesystem for your data partition.

I recommend to boot into the system first afterwards and setup your fingerprint + boot up password.

This will be the password you will use to decrypt with TWRP.

You will probably want to flash TWRP afterwards. Use this version:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3/development/recovery-official-twrp-oneplus-3-3t-t3543391

Don't forget to flash SuperSU or other root method afterwards so you won't get the dm-verity bootscreen.

For SuperSU, I recommend the latest stable:

Did all this yesterday - unlocked, flashed TWRP, and rooted - and all went well. It'd be nice if the details of nougat version for TWRP were in OP, or even just links to nougat rooter info, that way new rooters are not having to dig through multiple threads to get the updated info they need. But everything went smoothly, and successfully made a Nandroid backup.

A tip most of you know, but those new to flashing/rooting may not think of until it's too late: don't forget to backup your call logs and texts, there are apps for it that don't require root.

I came across SMS Backup by Carbonite and it worked phenomenally well, and has the option to backup regularly to an online location (like Google Drive and some others). Of all the stuff on my phone, that is the one thing which only lives on my phone.

Many thanks, all.

I think you don't reboot your phone the proper way after flashing Twrp. Immediately after you finnish flashing twrp, unplug your phone. Your phone is still in fastboot mode, navigate with the volume button to "recovery" then press the power button to select. Now the phone should boot in TWRP recovery. Here choose 'reboot' and then 'system'. If you don't do it this way your stock recovery overwrites Twrp (I believe..) hence the black screen. This is how I did it at least.
