No, you can't modify your system partition w/o root.

To root your phone you either need a PC or a another rooted phone.
Or, you could use TWRP or adb push to move the apps into /system/app/ or, in some cases, to /system/priv-app/. That's how I've done it since M, although I've never tried it with a locked bootloader, nor without root, but recovery doesn't need root to change the system, or rather, recovery has system root.
EDIT: You could unlock the bootloader and TWRP it with a friend's computer maybe?
Honestly, to have this phone without a computer would be torture. I feel for you.
Do you really know what "root" means??

No, he can't!!
TWRP = /recovery
That is a partition and to overwrite a partition the bootloader needs to be unlocked! What else should be the reason for unlocking it?? And you can't modify system w/o root even you use adb!

Right. adb can't without root, but I'm pretty damned sure TWRP can. Recoveries are made for changing the system. That's their purpose.

I know that a recovery is user root but he can't use it.
@WoKoschekk, only because he doesn't have it. He asked if you could make system apps without root. Yes you can. With TWRP..

His bootloader is locked and he has no PC to unlock it. He asks for a workaround in that case.
The answer of his question is still "no".

You need a PC or another phone with root to unlock the bootloader. When bootloader is unlocked you can do further steps with your own phone and without a PC.
---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------
The only way to unlock the bootloader is via fastboot oem commands. Fastboot tools require a Windows/Linux OS or a rooted phone to install the fastboot ARM binaries in /system/bin to use them in the Terminal shell of Android. To copy the binaries into /system/bin you need root because you need the permission to write on the /system partition.
So, ask a friend with a PC or a rooted phone.
Does it matter if the G7 power is contract or not with tmobile? I seen online that it could be a huge factor in it being a successful root

Motorola has the bootloader unlock process online.
Shouldn't take more then 10 minutes.

Anyway you need physical access to the device to unlock the bootloader. The online service will only provide the unlock code which must be entered via fastboit commandline. Motorola won't unlock the bootloader online, that's not possible!

i cant comprehend what you were trying to accomplish in doing this. i also dont understand how you were able to install twrp without unlocking the bootloader, unless you relocked it after installing twrp. you wont have fastboot commands with it being locked.
can you boot into the bootloader? if so, unlock it, if that's what its gonna take to fix your errors

why would you relock it? People unlock it for a reason, not to just install a recovery wipe the phone and then relock it.... That would not make sense and you can wipe it using factory reset.

How did he manage to get TWRP without unlocking the bootloader? he locked it after flashing TWRP or there is any way to bypass the bootloader without unlocking it??
Is there any way to root the Oneplus without unlocking the bootloader and wiping the device?
Just unlock the bootloader and root. You're making it too difficult for yourself, the whole point of the bootloader being locked is to prevent changes being made to the system.
Its like saying, you're going to break your windows to get into your house when you can just unlock the door.
Just unlock the bootloader and flash supersu for root.

yes, just run fastboot boot recovery.img and flash the superuser zip there. dont listen to people that say "just unlock bootloader!" because you dont need to and it sets a tamper flag which can be used against you if you try to warranty.

To root the phone with locked bootloader, man has to have an "exploit"...which is not discovered (yet) for OPO.
And now you are saying that the exploit and hence an unlocked bootloader is not needed and we can just push SuperSU into system via adb....
Please elaborate how it's possible?????

What he said. The OPO does not need a "exploit" to root the phone with a locked bootloader because you can unlock it simply by typing a command.
You can't flash SuperSU without having access to a custom recovery such as TWRP/CWR which requires a unlocked bootloader.

No you cannot root the phone without a exploit with a locked bootloader. If that was the case, then the OPO would not be Google certified for Google Apps.

That's exactly what I was reading and thinking for years.
But somehow, @The Jack of Clubs got probably a different idea (referring to his post #3 : "yes, just run fastboot boot recovery.img and flash the superuser zip there. dont listen to people that say "just unlock bootloader!" because you dont need to and it sets a tamper flag which can be used against you if you try to warranty.")
That's why I got so exited and anxious to hear some explanation and elaboration from him!
You do not need to unlock the bootloader to root. The locked bootloader only protects the kernel and recovery partitions. Do not run "fastboot oem unlock" and do not run "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Instead just run "fastboot boot recovery.img" and flash the supersu zip from there. I've done this already. I know because I'm writing this on my rooted and bootloader locked oneplus.

Thank you very much for some enlightening
I know about the recovery trick, always was doing this way and never bother with the custom one.
But the information about the rooting in a such way comes to the big surprise!
Well in this case I just hope it's not a flaw in CM build and it will stay this way and won't be fixed in next OTAs

I did this... It works. Installed SuperSU using this method, I"m running Titanium Backup Pro, which requires root.
having read and write access in an alternate environment and being able to load a kernel in untrusted space kind of negates the point of the locked bootloader. which is why on something like a nexus 5, you have to unlock to root. its a security measure to block alternative access and destroying data when tampered. the international/cyanogenmod version of the phone may be running a different version of the bootloader that is on the chinese/coloros phone. you do see a cyanogenmod logo when booting into fastboot. so cyanogen may have an alternative fastboot that gives you access like this so you can mod you phone.
as far as root goes, theres two parts, the su binary which has to be copied to the system partition, and the app that gives root permissions to apps (a sudo app). you can install supersu from the playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en but it doesnt do anything without the su binary. so when you are in recovery, which gives you full write access to the system partition, you flash the superuser zip, which copies the su binary to the system partition.

I can confirm that this method definitely works. My Oneplus is rooted, I never had to unlock the bootloader and my data is safe. Thank you!
I really think that this thread has to go to the General from Q&A and has become sticky.
Also these findings has to be communicated to @Chromium in order to enhance his Guide
This method works, I can confirm also.
Fastboot boot recovery.img
then install the su.zip file
MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP WHILE YOU ARE IN TWRP!!

Isn't that we are able to lock the bootloader on OPO after we unlocked it ?
Hello guys,
I've got a huge problem and I'm working on it for many hours.
I had those touchscreen issues you guys definitely heard of, well, I contacted OnePlus' customer service. They send me a patch to fix the touchscreen issues. So I tried that fix, but now the phone won't do almost nothing..
There's not an OS on the phone now, although I can boot into fastboot mode and in TWRP recovery. The patch wiped all my storage, including my internal storage so I haven't got any ROMs in my storage anymore.
I can't flash anything via Fastboot because the phone indicates that my bootloader is locked, I think that's strange because I had it unlocked before.
The big problem is that I don't know how to fix my device.. I really hope you can help me, because I'm getting really desperate now..

Hi guys, i was looking to make twrp for this device but couldn't do it because lack of knowledge. so i searched and found about CF-Auto-Root.
fortunately i was able to generate one for mia1. now we can root this device without any recovery.
Requirements -
1. unlocked boot loader. :cyclops:
2. this Zip
3.adb debugging should be enabled
How to -
1. put your phone in fastboot mode by volume down + power key.
2. connect to pc, ( make sure adb debugging is enabled)
2. extract above zip anywhere in your desktop and run root.bat file.
wait for some time, when it boots up you should have root access . although you won't see any su app. tried with solid explorer and was able to edit build.prop. without any issues. enjoy
so with this we get root access, a question about unlocked bootloader, does A1 already unlocked bootloader since begining or we have to request it from Xiaomi or Google to get that?
hope with this we can use substratum on stock Android

No, it doesn't come unlocked, but you can unlock by either ---

or
2. By using command " fastboot oem unlock" in fastboot mode.

Someone else will have to verify as my OP6 is still shipping but..
YES, OnePlus 6 should still be able to go complete back to stock as it always has.
The same procedure as the 3, 3T, 5, 5T will likely follow:
if you flash a complete stock rom such as (this is a OP6 stock rom): androidfilehost.com/?fid=674106145207488340
then while booted into fastboot mode: fastboot oem lock
This is a standard procedure for OnePlus devices and I'll test it out once I get mine.
The rom i linked to is the stock rom, an OP moderator linked to it.
And the fastboot command is just a standard command. So unless they decide to screw their main audience this time around, :good:.

don't believe u can sideload OS anymore, yes we do have a fastboot mode to restore but u will have to have ur bootloader unlocked, if u have ur bootloader locked there is not way to put on OS on there due to twrp is not mountable and u cannot side load, so its not like other OP devices

YES, OnePlus 6 should still be able to go complete back to stock as it always has.
The same procedure as the 3, 3T, 5, 5T will likely follow:
if you flash a complete stock rom such as (this is a OP6 stock rom): androidfilehost.com/?fid=674106145207488340
then while booted into fastboot mode: fastboot oem lock
This is a standard procedure for OnePlus devices and I'll test it out once I get mine.
The rom i linked to is the stock rom, an OP moderator linked to it.
And the fastboot command is just a standard command. So unless they decide to screw their main audience this time around, :good:.

Why do you state this?
OP has already shared a link to a stock rom. And the lock/unlock bootloader command is a standard for their devices.

Obviously you have to have you bootloader unlocked.
What are you trying to say? I can't follow your sentence structure. Please use proper English structure... or remotely proper...
You're claiming that with the OnePlus 6 you can no longer sideload roms? What??? That would be a HUGE slap in the face to us.
I wouldn't believe what this guy is saying.
I'm not claiming I factually know that the OP6 can be unlocked through that method but it is highly likely it is. As said, I'm still waiting on the OP6. If OnePlus doesn't allow these things, re-locking bootloader and sideloading, they're FU***** all of us over and I'm sure would suffer major backlash from the user base.

if all else fails we do have an unbrick tool, but from what i have read, u can no longer sideload with ur bootloader locked and there is not install from internal storage from stock recovery
I learned the hard way. Soft brick in the first hour of ownership.i thought I really broke something until eventually a few others reported on it. B
Op I would wait
I just relocked my bootloader with no issues. I uninstalled magisk through magisk manager, reboot to completely remove, then factory reset, boot into fastboot and relock. No issues. Note I didn't use twrp. I was still on stock bootloader.

Certain I did something wrong. But I tried the same thing initially and would bootloop to recovery after factory reset. Wasn't a biggie learned about the new a/b system in the process
Somewhat related question:
If you relock the bootloader, does Widevine go back to L1?
One user reported no. Is it really a permanent change of the Widevine status to unlock it?
I might be able to deal with 480p netflix, but if I sell this phone someday it sucks for the next owner.
No worry just try mega unbrick guide used it to relock bootloader and flash stock hydrogen os it can recover your device from even hardbrick I tested it for safety it works like charm so I recommend you that
Can anyone who has unlocked and re-locked their bootloader check their Widevine status in DRM info?
I have relocked because netflix quality was to low on when unlocked. When i relocked i got the drm lvl 1 back so it works

What's the procedure to re lock the bootloader and revert to stock recovery along with no root.
I unlocked the boot loader, installed TWRP and Magisk but would like to go back to stock. Any help will be appreciated

Reinstall your rom ( i believe 5.1.6 ) to get rid of TWRP & root
Factory reset
Then on fastboot " fastboot oem lock"
Data & internal storage will be wiped
Which means post following the steps origins bootloader will be locked and I will not get the warning again right at the start of the phone
All you can do is try but first make a Nandroid just in case this falls through
Hi, I want to lock my bootloader after recently unlocking it on my OP6 to install Oxygen OS as was originally on Hydrogen OS. If I use CMD and type fastboot oem lock, what are the risks of the phone going into a boot loop, and also, does the factory reset revert the phone back to Hydrogen OS? Cheers.

Lock as you unlocked in cmd by typing lock instead of unlock. It will make a wipe, so I recommend make backup before.
