Sandro,

You can use the second method to root your ROM.

The latest TWRP or OrangeFox (my personal favorite) have root privs by definition.

Running Magisk-24.3.zip under TWRP or OrangeFox will patch your boot image, giving you root.

Depending on the encryption state of your /userdata, you may have to run Magisk-24.3.zip

from TWRP using adb sideload
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] tecknight:
yes
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] GIutton:
Thank you! I really appreciate all your help with this.

Only issue I am having now is the TWRP app immediately crashes when I select the "Flash" option. It used to do this before rooting, however I could always clear storage/reinstall to fix it but that no longer seems to work since rooting.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] tecknight:
Try the latest OrangeFox recovery for the 8T. It is also TWRP, just with a different cosmetic.

It could also have to do with your encryption state. If your /userdata is encrypted, TWRP or OrangeFox will not be able to decrypt it or to access the /userdata folder. OrangeFox seems to deal with encrypted /userdata better than TWRP.

Put OrangeFox into adb sideload mode, then try flashing a .zip with:

adb sideload <whatever>.zip

Hi, I'm sorry what second method?

Anyway I thought twrp wasn't working on Android 12?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] GIutton:
In settings it shows the phone is encrypted but that wasn't anything I did. Besides rooting as shown here I haven't done anything else besides restoring apps. Looks like the 8T isn't supported with OrangeFox. Is there an unofficial version I should be looking for? The TWRP app will only work without root.

Also having another issue. Maybe it has been like this the whole time and I am only noticing it now but Netflix is very dim. After I turn all brightness settings to max I would say it's only around 50-60% of the brightness of other video apps and noticeably much dimmer than the Netflix app on my other phones. Anyone else seeing this on their 8T or know what is causing it?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] tecknight:
Second method:

1. Complete steps 1-6 above.

2. Download twrp-3.6.1_11-0-kebab.img from https://dl.twrp.me/kebab/ and rename to twrp.img

3. Reboot phone to bootloader and connect to PC.

3. Hold shift+right click inside the folder containing twrp.zip and open PowerShell.

4. Type "fastboot devices" to confirm connection then type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" to flash TWRP.

5. Once finished disconnect from PC. Make sure you see "START" in green and press power button to reboot.

6. Download latest Magisk apk currently being v24.3 from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/

7. Change the .apk file name extension to .zip (Magisk-24.3.apk > Magisk-24.3.zip) then save to phone.

8. Reboot phone to TWRP recovery (it may take a few min to boot and ask for your lockscreen p/w. This is normal)

9. Select "INSTALL" > navigate to Magisk-24.3.zip > swipe to confirm. This will patch+flash the boot.img and load Magisk.

10. Once finished tap "REBOOT" then tap "system" to reboot phone. Current slot can be either A or B. Do not change this.

11. Open app drawer search bar and type Magisk. If it doesn't show up immediately it should appear after a few seconds.

12. Click on it to install and follow prompts to get the full version to complete process.

13. Phone is now rooted.

14. Complete steps 18-25 listed above to fix the fingerprint scanner, safety net and play protect.

TWRP cannot decompress an encrypted /userdata partition for Android 12 based ROMs. Everything else still works.

OrangeFox Recovery R11.1 V9 Changelog: Synced with latest OrangeFox R11.1 changes

github.com

Yes, pretty much all Android 10+ ROMs attempt to force encryption. The only way to prevent encryption is by modifying the fstab.com file in multiple places, including the boot images RAM disk image, the /VENDOR partition, and possibly other partitions. So far, I have been unable to remove forced encryption on the

OnePlus 8T + 5G, but I have been able to on other phones.

Sorry, I haven't tried Netflix yet.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] GIutton:
I have downloaded an update but have not installed it or restarted the phone yet but can't find the update file. Has the location changed for OTA updates? The thread mentions they are saved to /sdcard/.OTA but I don't seem to have that folder.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] kevk60:
I rooted my 8t with this procedure. Worked very well. I am now getting a newer phone and I would like to take the 8t back to stock and relock the bootloader. Only mod is magisk. My question is, after uninstalling magisk, do I need to put the OOS that came installed on the phone when I got the phone, or can I continue with the bootloader relock with the OOS that is installed on the phone now, which is Android 12. I've read that the OS has to be stock so I would think that the Android 12 OOS would be fine. Thanks.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMystic:
EVERYTHING must be stock. This includes OS, Kernel, Recovery, etc. Of course, Magisk and all mods must be gone too!

You just have to be on official OS, doesn't matter which version.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] kevk60:
Thank you much. I appreciate it.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] GIutton:
Has anyone else noticed the 'Software Update' app getting disabled after root and cannot be enabled?

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
On one of my updates it disappeared. But I simply reinstalled it.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] GIutton:
Yeah I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling but it just goes right back to being disabled as soon as I open my settings. I thought it was preventing me from getting the C.33 update but it still came in the other day and the update went fine. Still disabled after the update though.

Hi guys,

i am on KB2003_11_C.33

Can i use this guide to root my phone? Already done unlocked boatloader.

Sorry guys, sincerely need some help and guidance...

the last time I root and messed with my phone was like 5 years back.

I am totally outdated for those flashing tricks now :confused:
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] sketch.droid:
Ok so I've been out of the loop for a while again... now after months of constant nagging about a software update, I finally decided to update....

but coming on here, reading about OOS12 and the problems, difficulties moving from OOS11 to 12, and now some potential RAM over-volting issues that can brick the phone for good?!

... I really could use a quick summary of what's actually going on please?

Should I bother updating from 11.0.13.13 ...if not, is there a way to turn OFF system update notifications?

...every thread I start reading leads me to other threads, and more issues, it's overwhelming to be honest.

Model: KB2000

OOS Build: 11.0.13.13.KB05AA

Thanks guys... and sorry for the question, but I would really appreciate a quick update summary of the current state of 8T situation.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
I'm happy with OOS 12. I'm in KB2005 C.33 now (I came from the same version you're on). The one thing I'd recommend is doing a factory reset after upgrading. I had a number of issues with OOS 12 initially but they all disappeared after a reset.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] sketch.droid:
Thanks BillGoss,

How did you go about updating, I assume you're rooted?

I downloaded the full C.11 ROM, can I still use the same boot.img extraction method, and same patching method with Magisk?

Has anything changed in the rooting process from OOS11 to OOS12?

...I'm really not looking forward to factory reset! :cautious: ...all those app logins and setups... I hope Titanium Backup is still going strong these days!

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] carbon coupe:
People of much greater knowledge than me, question. I just purchased a KB2007 and Im reading some disheartening posts. I understand there are no DL's for the 'T-Mobile' OOS... does that mean I cant root it? Or, if I still can, what is the process?

Coming from a rooted Pixel 2XL. Been a while since I rooted so Im reading up making sure I dont brick my new unit. Im on VZW (I know) and really want root. So, help me out if you are so inclined.

EDIT: Also, will I be able to upgrade to 12??

EDIT 2: Ok, read that 12 is a disaster, maybe... ugh, thinking I should cancel this order.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] carbon coupe:
Ok, here my story...

Have the 8T, love it and want to make this work.

Things I know:

1. need to unlock via getting code from Tmobile/Oneplus...NEED HELP. I have the device code via adb so thats done. Not sure how to get the unlock code. Not a Tmobile customer... UPDATE: Sent the unlock code request on the OP site. How long do I wait? Update: Got a note back from OP support, 7-10 days.

2. I know there is no image for the tmo phone... but i read that I could use the EU files? True? And how would I go about picking the correct file? Or does Magisk use installed img to patch?.. not clear on this step

Update: I read something about using "DD" on the partitions. Will this extract an image for me to use??

3. As for function, I activated it and couldnt receive texts, and maybe other data. I know I have to call VZW and request CDMA-less? What exactly am I requesting so I know how to request it and what NOT to say.

So, if someone could help me connect the dots here I would really appreciate it. Im not a novice but not a pro. I root and daily drive so I need stability and clarity of function. If this is not the phone for me to have this security and DD, then let me know.

Thanks in advance.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Margeshy:
Hello to all, so after temporarily rooting my device using "fastboot boot" the wi-fi on my Oneplus 8T wouldn't turn on, if I tried to turn it on it would disable itself.

Here are the specifications of the device if needed:

Android Version: 13

Build Number: KB2001_11_F.13

Baseband Version: Q_V1_P14,q_V1_PI4

Kernel Version: 4.19.157-perf+

Driver Version: 10.0.19041.746

Driver Date: 6/21/2006

Edit: I tried flashing the modem file, and once I did the root/superuser would go away, I did again and again and then I decided to just format the data and never touch rooting again, after that when I booted my OnePlus 8T, the only thing there was the settings app. Currently bawling my eyes out.

Hi Everyone,

Wanna give a shout out to the awesome community here that tirelessly helps all the less knowledgeable people like me!

I just have a quick question.. Will ROOT allow me SIM UNLOCK my One+8T? Im trying to use my phone on a different carrier.

Had it temp sim unlocked a while back, and enabled OEM UNLOCK. I was able to find an unlocking code to send to One+ website, but it couldn't find anything based on the info I gave them.

My phone is now locked to T-Mobile again, but OEM UNLOCK is still enabled. Is there any hope of using a different carrier on this device?

Hmm. That should have worked. Try flashing the patched image on both boot partitions.

If that also doesn't work, try patching the stock boot image on your own and retry flashing -> This should definitely work.

I seem to be having an issue on my U.S. KB2005 which I think is related to installing a bad magisk module. I am guessing riru.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] rage302:
...it's the same like on every OnePlus Phone ->

1. Enable developers options (tap multiple times on build number in Settings -> about Phone) and enable "OEM unlock" in developer settings (in Settings -> System)

2. Reboot to fastboot (enable USB debugging in dev options and use adb reboot bootloader), or use advanced reboot menu (enable it in dev settings) and reboot to bootloader.

3. Use this fastboot command on your PC -> fastboot oem unlock and accept to unlock bootloader (warning: as a safety measure Android will wipe your userdata)

greetings rage
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Keinta15:
You need to enable "Oem Unlocking" and "USB Debugging" in the Developers options

Then by using adb you need to reboot into the bootloader by typing “adb reboot bootloader” and afterwards you just type "adb fastboot oem unlock" (Warning: this wipes your phone)
