Although this guide will elongate each step in order to show all of the details, the method used can be broken up into 3 main steps: Unlocking the Bootloader, Installing a Custom Recovery and finally Rooting.

Thanks for the nice guide!
What would be the clean method to flash future OOS update when rooted and with TWRP recovery?

Simply flash the full ROM.zip manually in recovery, typically 1.4GB.

That means not installing the incremental mini zips. And not installing from the settings menu.

It's up to you whether you want to wipe data or cache.

Dm verity zip is not needed when you flash SuperSu.

Thanks, I have unlocked bootloader, Installed TWRP, and Super Su.
one question though, when after setting my account going for nandroid backup there I found SYSTEM as well SYSTEM IMAGE.
what is difference between them, What thing should I backup.
Also there is showing your system is Unmounted, so when I should have to mount it.
Thanks to all Once again.

Hello guys, thanks for the guide!
I was wondering if anyone has faced the same problem as me - while trying to root the Oneplus 3T I constantly get a bootloop after flashing SuperSU. The latest TWRP (3.0.4.0) is installed without any problems in fastboot, the system is mounted as r/w, and I don't see any problems during flashing SuperSU package...
I've tried it before and after OOS 4.0.2, I've tried old and new, stable and beta versions of SuperSU, but either way the phone is stuck on bootscreen after flashing.

P. S. If I flash the official ROM after that - it boots up instantly without any errors... And with no root :/

I'm having the same problem

So nice to know I'm not alone!
Did you find a way to root your phone?

 

[cultofluna]

Try this SuperSU

 

[ram4ufriends]

I heard only SuperSU SR3 works

 

[hrsa]

Just tried both versions (2.79 and the SR3 beta) - unfortunately, the same bootloop happens.
