TWRP and Root on Oxygen OS 5.0.1 (Oreo) - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hello people!
I have recently bought this phone and I'm now trying to flash TWRP and root it. Sadly (since it's a fairly recent build I guess?) I haven't found any tutorial to do so, and I have only managed to unlock the bootloader by now... Do you guys have any idea?
Thanks in advance!

There's no need for a new guide for Oreo, the procedure is the same for all system versions. You can follow the old guides, just don't use provided links if they're not updated but find new files yourself.

Look at any other guide as the previous comment said just use updated files for your device.
The short answer for you is to read up on 'custom recovery'.

If you are on Oreo, you have to flash Magisk once you boot into recovery 1st time.

SuperSU doesn't seem to be compatible with Oreo. So use Magisk as the previous poster said.

I'm not sure about the recovery version and it's not even TWRP. I just followed the steps that was given in some website.
Magisk v16
Downloaded magisk. Tried flashing it. Failed.
Maybe I should just try another recovery i.e. TWRP but does recovery of different developer matter?

Recovery does matter. If you are not on TWRP, are you on stock recovery? Then how did you flash Magisk?
Flash eng.stk's TWRP then reboot into TWRP and flash Magisk and then reboot to system.

Thank you. I found the solution. The TWRP has should be unlocked. I don't know why but TWRP should had been first swiped to use it. And you helped me a lot. Thank you

I found the steps to root my OnePlus 3 on XDA.
I am running on the latest OnePlus Open Beta.
Are the steps any different?
Also, how to root using magisk?
Could you link me to a thread?

Flash only recovery.img from stock ROM using command code: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it will not work, your mobile will do a bootloop, you have to reflash the complete firmware.

It should work if
you have disabled dm-verity
This can be done either with a zip file which disables it or by flashing magisk
but obviously you will not be able to flash any ota - you will need to flash stock firmware and it is recommended to lock the bootloader just to make sure everything is back to stock

None of the rooting guides work?

Can anyone write an up-to-date guide on precisely what I need to do to install TWRP on a global-edition, fully updated (MIUI 12) Note 8 Pro today?...
There are three different guides and none of them work. I'm not interested in custom firmwares or anything else besides TWRP. I just want to install TWRP and magisk.
We are in the same boat...
Edit: N/A
Are you able to unlock your bootloader?
Also, pay really close attention to the warning at the top of the TWRP downloads page for your device.
WARNING: This device hard bricks really easily for unknown reasons. Restoring device without spending real money is impossible as of now. Don't flash TWRP unless you are an advanced user who knows what he is doing.

Additionally, there are a lot of weird quirks all over the place, which makes your device... non-optimal for modding.
Let me know if you really want help with this.
I really just wanted root and didn't realize you aren't supposed to use TWRP for it on new phones (especially this one.)

It's not that you're not supposed to use TWRP. It's that you need to know what you're doing.
That device you have is very easy to brick. I'm just making sure.
If you do only want root, that is very easy. First: do you have an unlocked bootloader? Second: exactly what software version do you have?

I would recommend installing Magisk first since then you can use the TWRP installer.

Installing Magisk from recovery is a legacy option and no longer recommended. The recommended method of installing Magisk consists of patching the boot image using the Magisk Manager app and then using fastboot to flash the patched boot image to the phone.
Installing TWRP is then as easy as using Magisk Manager to flash the TWRP installer zip, then reinstalling Magisk using direct install.
In order to retrieve a boot image to patch, you need to download the update you are using to a computer, then use a tool like Payload Dumper to extract the boot.img.
Kind of complex but it's the only option if installing TWRP without it bootloops you.

I don't own this device so I don't know any guides. The process is the same for most devices and the scripts will automate it for you.
Like I said, find a software update for your phone (search "miui 12.4.847.37586 OTA update zip" or similar), use Payload Dumper to extract a boot.img, transfer it to your device, install Magisk Manager and use that to patch the image, download the patched image to your computer, boot the phone into fastboot and flash the new boot image, and you'll have Magisk.
From there, go to the official TWRP website and download the "twrp-installer" for your device. Use Magisk Manager to install it. Then direct install Magisk to keep root.

Hey!! Fun fact, you don't need to use payload dumper for that! Download the "Full ROM" with "Type: Recovery", and unzip it. Inside there will be a "boot.img". That's what you patch using Magisk Manager.

Question Are the newer US ver still allowing,rooth with TWRP?

Seeing a lot of issues with Android 11 and 12 unlocking the bootloader and applying root. Is now not a good time to upgrade or should I wait for a boot image?
Not quite sure what you're referring to, but there are zero issues with unlocking the bootloader or rooting your device...
I can't speak for TWRP. I have had issues with it the last few versions so I had to make due without it. If I am mistaken about having twrp on the OP9 Pro on the newest LE2125 c61 update, I'd be interested.
Anyway, my response is mostly to address your question regarding root. Here are the steps that worked for me.

I have been rooted since day one on both A11 & A12. I'm running stock and haven't had a single issue.
Avoid TWRP, it's known to not work properly on A12
If you like to flash a custom ROM. Follow the instructions and you will be fine.
I am coming off the oneplus 7pro was enjoying TWRP and Magisk, with Exposed now I am hearing TWRP isn't working on anything above 10.0 ver. Guess I have to do so more research or pay Monfrio a ransom to work on TWRP.

I always just sideload. (downdload magisk apk & rename to zip before)
this way you do not need the extra boot.img I think.

If you want to install any add-ons, Reboot to Recovery, then when your device reboots, click Apply Update, then Apply from ADB, then adb sideload filename.zip those packages in sequence. (GAPPS or Magisk for example)
for example for magisk:
download the newest magisk apk version
after download, rename it and instead of .apk do it .zip
go into revovery and click Apply Update, then Apply from ADB
command is : "adb sideload Magisk-v2X.X.zip"
you must exchange X for your version.
Boot images gets patched
please note that I am not an expert, that is just what I found somewhere and use since then.
if you need more information you could also check the install instructions for lineageOS to get to know some basics: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/lemonadep/install
