Rooting OPO without Wiping Data - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I want to root my OnePlus One solely for the purpose of being able to install an app which requires my phone to be rooted. I have seen some old threads (both here and on OnePlus.net) on how to do this, but I'm not sure if the procedures still work for a phone running Cyanogen 13.1.
Can anyone point me to some instructions that do work for OPOs running CM13.1 that will allow me to root my phone without wiping any data
Many Thanks!

Well you only want root right?
You can simply do it without unlocking boot loader.
Just search for kingoroot or kingroot apk on google and use it making sure you've a good internet connection.It may need a few tries before rooting. But it will 100% work.

Not the best choice...You should install the system less supersu imo.

Doesn't matter,he wants the root only and he can achieve the supersu by a simple kinguser to supersu trick.

Temp root without pc?

Hello!
I am currently in Greece on holidays and I am trying to play The wolf among us on my Nexus 5, but I need to use GLtools to get past the black screen error there currently try is.
I do however not want to root and reinstall my phone, and have no pc.
Is there a way to temp root my phone with an app or so? I seem to remember doing that on my older phones
There is no temp root.

It's not a temp root but it accomplishes what you're looking for: rooting your phone without your PC and without wiping your data.
As the article mentions make sure to install SuperSU or Superuser right after running it because it does allow root globally by default.

Any root is temporary. Put in stock recovery via TWP app. Take out SU~BB =stock

The definition of temp root is you have root until you reboot only. But sure, by your reckoning, the word permanent doesn't exist.

Mini on 4.4.4 and SU4.21 can I root or unlock? edit: Yes and was so simple a caveman

This quote is from the crash root thread, my mini is on SU4.21 screen shot of status below, if I can unlock or get root and bypass the hotspot block unlimited data please provide a link to the thread that explains how to to it, thanks!
_ck_ said:
By the way if it is not clear to newbies, if you are fortunate enough to get a phone with SU4.21 instead of SU6-x, do NOT, I repeat do NOT flash VZW-4.4.4-SU6-7-release-keys.xml
Because then you are taking a valuable phone that can unlock the bootloader and forcing it to upgrade and it can never be downgraded again to SU4 from SU6
ie. the SU6 cannot unlock bootloader at this time, the SU4 can via sunshine
you CAN root the SU4 but it is using a different file than in this thread

This is a screen of my new droid mini, when I run sunshine it passes but tries to temp root and just reboots, never gets past rebooting. Can you link to the info on unlocking SU4.21 you mention please? Thank you

Kingroot did the trick, and I used an app that I have on my moto x to bypass the hotspot block, also froze the ota app so it wont update. All is fine without unlocking it, but when it reboots the root is gone and I need to rerun kingroot, is this the way kingroot works, or should it maintain root through a reboot? Im not sure I like the idea of leaving kingroot on the phone, I will probably unlock it with sunshine and do a factory reset and try rooting it a permanent way, thats something I've never done before, I mean install a custom rom and root that way. Do I need to install a custom rom in order to root permanently? Id rather not do that, but if its the only way than I will attempt it.

No if you use sunshine then u can perment root without installing a custom ROM I know on my droid turbo after I installed twrp and ran it the first time it will ask you first thing if you want to root swip yes and it's done permently I assume it's the same way with the mini

I am following this thread before you even suggested me, but its very confusing. I have made my TA Partition Backup. Now there are few steps which are totally out of sync by the writer of this thread himself. For example.
7.Unlock your bootloader now.request keys from here.follow the guide
http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlo...r-boot-loader/
He did not even mention how to unlock the bootloader, but nontheless I found out the steps to unlock my bootloader. But there is one problem with me. When I run that fastbood unlocker command, my pc gives error. I am pasting a screenshot of that error. Kindly follow it up and suggest me the fix for it.

you have to go into your developer settings of the device and click "enable oem unlock" (an odd decision to have this if you ask me)
i tried this and had to enable that open aswell for me to unlock my bootloader

Thanks buddy. It worked like charm :good: . But you know with greater possibilities comes greater mysteries. Now since I am rooted with my phone, there are strange things happening. For example Greenify is now acting like that it doesnt have full root access even though I have allowed it through SU and it will show Greenify - No Auto Hibernation, then it mentions Pending Manual Hibernation, when I click on manual hibernation it starts to Force Stop the apps using the Apps Module of the Android OS, a thing which never happened with me on any of my rooted android phones. :silly::crying:
Second problem is that the guide which made me root the one which you also suggested me, installed TWRP recovery on my device. :crying:For some funny reasons I never liked TWRP Recoveries and wouldn't stand a chance to use it. I tried to flash XZDual Recovery, but to of no avail. Is there any workaround to remove TWRP or Flash XZDual Recovery on top of TWRP and make XZ Dual Recovery as Default Recovery.?:silly::silly:

Not that I know of and given the support and useful things in twrp i'd suggest you use it although you may not like it
Reinstalling apps usually works for me half the time if they are acting odd.

Buddy I think through this tutorial either root access is not properly allowed or maybe this whole tutorial had some kind of step which made partial rooting. Strange things are happeing with some applications. For example SD MAID PRO and ROOT UNINSTALLER PRO are working with root access without any problems. But GREENIFY and now CLEAN MASTER's AUTO START UP feature (requires root access) is not working even it says CLEAN MASTER has been given root access on my device. But then it fails to toggle enable/disable STARTUP ADDS which are around 34+. Second this Greenify is not even AUTO HIBERNATING the apps which are user apps. If I run it on NON ROOT MODE it says MANUAL HIBERNATION PENDING. If I run it on ROOT MODE it says on the top "No Auto-Hibernation" and down again written "Pending Manual Hibernation".
I have tried multiple SU packages like 2.71 Beta 2.65 but same ****s going on again and again. Can you figure it out :good::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Open the SuperSU app and check if greenify and other apps have been denied root access.

No way MAN. They are all allowed. I know how to check SU for Denied & Allowed Apps in its list. This is really pissing me off. Any other ideas?

not sure, it doesnt make Any sense that some apps work and some dont because i followed the same tutorial and ive not had any root related issues so im out of ideas really
but first make sure that if you flash a stock kernel then use the rootkernel tool to drm patch and well obviously allow root.

Greenify latest version is 2.8.1 . I removed it and installed an older version 2.7.1 and it is now working automatically hibernating the unncessary apps. Now remains only CLEAN MASTER. Its working with root only I cant use toggle enabling/disabling startup adds.:silly::silly::cyclops:

If you are following the thread. In the android folder of the downloaded folder there are folders of twrp recovery. Replace them with your desired recovery and then make rooted kernel with rootkernel oldkernel.img newkernel.img
And then flash it

Does rooting void the warranty of the device? And if yes, can we get the warranty back somehow?
Yes it will surely void the warranty
You can get back only if you unroot, re flash original Rom and update via OTA

I want to root my pixel 2

I do have experience flashing phones. I don't need help with adb and fastboot.
I am just confused at to what exactly TWRP is? Is that the recovery? What should I flash to my phone?
Either way, I just want to root my phone and install a custom rom to it...but I don't see many or any custom roms except for TWRP...so really just want root above all else
Please tell me what I need to do and in what order...lol.....thank you

TWRP is custom recovery. It's still in beta.
As far as I know, there are no custom roms. 8.1 is too new and they are still working on things.
Root with Magisk. Plenty of how to threads.

TWRP actually just came out of beta with 12/12 Walleye(12/14 Taimen) build, hopefully there will be some custom roms soon... You can use the Skipsoft Android toolkit to root, unlock, flash twrp etc. Or do it manually following guides here on XDA under development section https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/development, ADB has been updated so make sure to have the latest platform tools.
Currently theres no custom ROMs at all for Pixel 2.
TWRP is a recovery.
Rooting is pretty straight-forward I studied these 2 articles/thread:
http://highonandroid.com/android-smartphones/how-to-root-pixel-2-or-pixel-2-xl-easiest-method/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-walleye-t3702417
The kind of confusing part is when you want to change custom kernels and update TWRP.
As the recovery, kernel and root stuff all play around in the same partition now.
Read around the forum, since you got experience you will figure it out.

I am currently installing busybox, not even sure why but I think I want it. Anyone want to tell me what it is specifically for? Also the app runs, says installing busybox and just hangs forever.

So rooting your Pixel 2 will invariably trigger this error message on boot, for any user?
Are there other undesirable side effects to rooting your Pixel 2 at the moment?

Grandstream - GXV3370 - How to root

Hello guys,
Grandstream released their new android desk phone, the 3370.
I'm not able to root it the way I was doing it on the GXV3275.
Motochopper worked on earlier version of 3275, then I was using KingRoot.
I tried these method on the new 3370, without success.
I tried KingoRoot and One Click Root.
The Windows version of KingoRoot and Kingroot does not work using ADB wifi, so I don't know if it could eventually work.
Do you guys know a way?

Have you tried the Magisk method? Find the Magisk rooting thread here, read it thoroughly there are details about your device that you will need to research to determine exactly how to apply Magisk to your specific device. Details such as whether your device is an A/B partitioned device or if you need to patch the boot.img or recovery.img, etc... Be careful and make sure you understand the details properly.
