Hi,
I have a OnePlus8T (KB2003 EU) on OOS 13 Build number KB2003_11_F.13,
and I basically just want to root it, don't mind (even prefer) to stick with the stock rom and just gain root privileges.
The last phone I had and rooted was a galaxy S something in the middle of the last decade so I'm more than rusty and kind of not in the lingo.
I was hoping you could help me clarify some things because the phone as we all know is not new and the guides updated with time so I'm sort of lost.
So, my questions are
I understand that I need to unlock the bootloader first, I assume the following guide is still relevant for that part (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...oneplus-8t-for-any-oxygen-os-version.4183443/),
please correct me if I'm wrong
Side Note: I also understood Helius is the best backup option for non-rooted devices, but it seems to be no longer publicly available so if you have another option that you recommend it will be the best
For the next part I saw multiple options which I didn't really understood in the sticky thread:
[GUIDE] Root and keeping root options
Update 230526: Correct numbering of "B.1.1 Simple" to "B.1.2 Simple", use "OOS 13+" instead of "OOS 13" as OOS 13.1 is now available A. First time rooting This process is common across all options A.1 Flashing Magisk patched boot image There...
forum.xda-developers.com
There's the MSM option, but it seems the tools that are from the thread he mentions are only for Android 11 so I'm not sure it's for me.
The same can be said for the Payload Dumper method, since I don't know which OTA to download and install, the ones listed inside the thread are I think for OOS 11 (though again, just assuming by version prefix, so please correct me if I'm wrong).
I believe the same goes for the ones in the other sticky thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-8t-rom-ota-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.4193183/)
The third option listed there is using TWRP / Orange Fox, I assume Orange Fox is the one I need but still, I'm not sure the version I need to download, and the flashables fitting (kebab or something?)
Basically, I'm sort of trying to understand by which guides to go, which ota / roms to download that are fitting for my build, and if rooting requires me downgrading versions how can I do it safely
Sorry upfront for the "new guy" questions, and thanks!

Greetings people, I have an LG V20 H990DS and I'm going to try to downgrade it to Nougat 7.0 basically because Oreo does not give me anything; I'm going to try to take the root and I have several questions to see if you can clarify it.
Apparently the only method of rooteo is the DirtySanta that is explained in this thread of XDA, it seems that one of the requirements to start using this method is that the security patch is before December 31, 2016, so that first thing I have to do is flash a previous .kdz and that's where my first questions arise:
1) Is this H990ds10b_00_OPEN_TW_DS_OP_1125.kdz firmware version worth it?
2) At the time of flashing so you see you can have two types of problems, that the LGUP does not recognize the device and that the “x”% of the flash of the .kdz stops and does not follow you
After a lot of googling, I found this patched lgup thread that apparently gives good results. Has anyone tried it? Will it go well?
Another thing that worries me is that, once the root is done, when you flash the kernel the video fails, and my question is Is there another kernel so that the video recording does not fail ?, and if I flash the Super Rom of This thread, does it come with a kernel that will not fail me?
And the last question; in the event that I decided to downgrade via LGUP to Nougat, simply without root, what firmware would you recommend that I would flash from https://lg-firmwares.com/en/lg-h990ds-firmwares/#tab= firmwares? (that has Spanish language and the last Nougat patch)
The truth is that I read a lot but I still do not have many clear things and I would appreciate any help.
(sorry for if I do not write very well but I do not speak English very well)
Hey everyone, I've been trying to search for a solution to rooting my OP7 from T-Mobile and I think I have hit a dead end so I went ahead and created this post to ask for some advice.
So backstory: I have a business account with T-Mobile and they allow me to unlock my phone with little to no hassle at all, I unlocked my T-Mobile phone, and my OP7 got updated to Android 11 over night that I didn't realize it happened my current build is: Oxygen OS 11.0.1.1.GM31CB and my model is GM1915.
Okay so I am following this guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/unlock-bootloader-root-oneplus-7-pro/
I have followed through with Step 1, unlocking my OEM, and Step 2, unlocking my bootloader. So for step 3, the guide says to flash TWRP and from what I've read there is no TWRP that works for Android 11 right now so I am not sure if I can do that. Then step 4 is to flash Magisk after booting to recovery, but I am not sure if I can actually do that with TWRP?
So the question I got is how do I go about rooting my OP7? Can I root without TWRP? The guides video also said I needed a bin file of the current OS but there seems to be none available for GM31CB. Curious where I go from here. Can I roll back to Android 10? Do I need to switch over to the international version? and if I did would I be able to downgrade back to Android 10?
Thanks in advance.
Edit 1: I just converted to the international version and will be rooting that way.
was just about to answer you...hope u got it working the international way...i have twrp working...u must flash a zip to decrypt your internal...search or hit me later...i can email it to you or something...and if possible...next time you update to A11 Tmobile can you save it?....can't find it anywhere online...
That guide is pretty outdated I feel like. If you have you phone unlocked through T-Mobile you can simply follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...unlock-twrp-root-and-update.3940368/#poststop
It's the one I followed to get my phone rooted + twrp installed.
I am in the same boat, T-mobile decided to push android 11 and rebooted. Android 11 is running fine with all my data intact but i have lost root and recovery. Trying to figure out easiest way to regain root, not worried about TWRP at the moment. Seems like patching the boot.img with magisk is the way to go but I cannot find a download from T-mobile for the full update to extract the payload.bin and boot.img. Is the payload.bin accessible using a file manager on the phone to copy to sdcard then transfer to PC? If not looks like waiting for some workaround or formatting data and starting from scratch
OOO just saw OPs edit, looks like i might be switching over to international firmware too and going that route. Did not plan on doing this today.
So I unlocked bootloader and updated the June firmware on ROG 5 when I got it, and now the device is rooted. Now that the July firmware update is out, how do I update? Do I again have to extract and patch boot.img separately and wipe everything the way I had to the first time? Note that I'm asking about retaining root and Magisk after the update.

Okay so I went to the Asus website https://www.asus.com/supportonly/ROG%20Phone%205%20(ZS673KS)/HelpDesk_Download/ Got the latest firmware which is the most recent one for this month with the latest security patch. I remember doing this method...

Hi,
I have vanilla version of Realme 8 phone running on Android 11. I turned it on to figure out the build number and it is A22, i did not connect or update it anyhow. Shall I do it before rooting? Now I want to root it and enable call recording. I have found the two conflicting guides https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flashing-twrp-and-rooting-realme-8.4366399/ and https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...otloader-flash-twrp-and-root-rmx3085.4386473/ and I don't know which is correct one to follow. Shall I install versions of Magick and SP flash referred by these posts or the newest up to date versions? By the second guide I also wonder why to install TWRP if the Magisk is not installed through it and it shall itself be installed via Flashify app so I would have another app to flash files into phone. By the second guide shall I follow the first part when I did not upgraded anything but my version is A22?
Btw. the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/realme-8-rmx3085-twrp.4365305/ recommends to use fastboot to flash TWRP which is in contradiction with other two posts which claim that fastboot is not working. I also would welcome guide for Linux if there is that option.
Thank you!
I am planning to visit my mother. I can take bicycle, tram or walk naked through the woods. each is in contradiction, which is the correct way?
I will better ask my mother

First, I apologize if these answers are already posted elsewhere, in which case please point me in the right direction.
So I use to be able to root my phones with my eyes closed (back when HSPA was the fastest and I needed to overclock my single core processor to 1.2GHz because my phone didn't have 8 cores), but its been 2 years since I've rooted my one plus 9 and I was pretty rusty then so I'm pretty much lost now. I know that over the years there's been changes to the way things must be done depending on the phone, version, etc. I'm trying to update my phone to either android 12 or 13, and unless I'm mistaken, I can't just flash an android 13 custom rom over the rooted OOS rom that is stock with the exception of having Magisk of course. If that's incorrect, that would be very convenient. But if I am, what steps do I need to do to get this done? I have SDK platform-tools ready, but I no longer have backups of the stock boot.img, or anything for that matter. My mother is a hypochondriac of sorts, so I can't have my phone not work for more than a day, or I'll have the police at my door doing a wellness check. Thanks in advance for any help!

Use MSM Tool to reset your phone to initial factory firmware, which is OOS11. You can then update through OTA all the way to the latest.
And next time you root your phone, DON'T flash the patched boot.img. Instead, temporarily boot by the command fastboot boot <your_patched_boot.img> and then from Magisk app, use Direct Install. That way, Magisk will backup your original boot.img which you can restore later if there is a new OTA.
Do you have a token? Get one if you dont.
unlock token - OnePlus (United States)
www.oneplus.com
Takes a couple days to a month to get it. Check back at that page, they will not notify you when its ready.
Once you get it, MSM to global base A11\OOS11 to debrand, and also allow for easier updates since Tmobile is stingy about pushing out A13 recently.
Get to latest OTA update, fastboot flash cust-unlock <unlock_token.bin> to unlock BL, install Magisk anyway you want.
