The most recent info I found is as follows. i just want to make sure this is still correct. My OP3T arrives tomorrow and the first thing I want to do is root it. Any help or pointers you can give are appreciated. This will be the first phone I've rooted.
Thank you.
Step 2. Connect your device to your PC & launch command.bat file from ADB folder.
Step 3. To check if everything is working, type below command in command window. It will return your device’s serial number. (If it doesn’t return a serial code, install the ADB drivers again.)
Step 4. To unlock Bootloader of OnePlus 3T, type the below command:
Step 1. Download TWRP Recovery and transfer it into Minimal ADB Folder. (Rename the TWRP
file to whatever you want, I renamed it to TWRP.img)
Step 2. Open Command window & type the below command to flash the TWRP Recovery into your OnePlus 3T.
Step 3. Now to boot into Recovery mode, type below command in command window.
fastboot boot twrp.img (Replace twrp.img with your file name)
Step 4. Once your device boots into TWRP Recovery, it will ask to allow system modifications.
Step 2. Boot your device into TWRP Recovery mode. (Jump to step 3 if you’re already in TWRP recovery)
Step 3. Go to Install in recovery mode & Flash the dm-verity-opt-encrypt zip. (This will also allow you to use [Format Data] to completely disable your encryption if desired)
Step 4. Now flash the SuperSU zip file from Recovery. Wait for the installation to complete & reboot your device.
Thank you.
- Install Minimal ADB Fastboot Tool.
- Install ADB Drivers – follow the procedure given in the guide.
- Enable USB Debugging – Go to Settings > About Phone > Tap on Build number 7 times > Return to Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging.
- Backup all your data from your device as unlocking bootloader erases all the data.
- Charge your device upto 70% to avoid any shutdown during the procedure which might cause some big issue.
- Your device must be updated to 3.5.3 or above as TWRP has an issue with Decryption on 3.5.1
- Enable OEM Unlocking – On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then enable the ‘OEM Unlocking’ option.
- Enable Advanced Reboot – On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then enable the ‘Advanced Reboot’ option.

Step 4. Once your device boots into TWRP Recovery, it will ask to allow system modifications.
- By swiping right, you will trigger dm-verity, and if you don’t follow the next step you will be unable to boot!
- If you are going to root your device and follow the rest of these steps, then it is safe to swipe right and enable modifications.
- Select your preferred Language, Tap “Never show this screen on boot again,” and Swipe allow modification.
Step 2. Boot your device into TWRP Recovery mode. (Jump to step 3 if you’re already in TWRP recovery)
Step 3. Go to Install in recovery mode & Flash the dm-verity-opt-encrypt zip. (This will also allow you to use [Format Data] to completely disable your encryption if desired)
