[Guide] ROOT OP8T OOS (A13)

[BobbyLynn]

Here's the patched boot.img for OnePlus 8T Android 13 KB2005_11_F.13 and F.15

Bootloader must be unlocked

(Have the img on your PC)

Instructions:
1: Reboot to bootloader "adb reboot bootloader"

2: Run CMD "fastboot flash boot" ~name of img~
Profit!

You're now rooted.
I've also attached the stock boot.img just in case anyone wants it.

Boot - Google Drive

what if there is ota update?

what if there is ota update?

I highly doubt there'll be another OTA until next month. Check with the developer of the unofficial orange fox recovery, he'll most likely release a new version for A13. If not, I'll pull the boot.img and patch it again and post it here.

Lol don't tell me you've bricked it!!! You can probably flash the stock boot.img and that might fix it. Otherwise you'll have to use the msm tool to reflash the firmware.

Well if you're worried about bricking it then before you start making modifications, be sure to have the latest msm for it on your PC, and also take a full backup using Orange Fox recovery, and also have the stock boot.img on your PC. And if anything goes wrong just flash the stock boot.img. And if that doesn't fix it then restore the backup, and if that still doesn't work then you'll have to do a complete restore using a msm tool

No problem. If you run into any problems just let me know and I'll do what I can to figure out the simplest solution

I flash this boot.img and work like a charm easy root. Don't forget to post boot for next updates for KB2005. Thanks

 

[kevinco1]

Can these instructions be used for the KB2007?

If it's Android 13 11_F.13 then yes. But Orange Fox has a working recovery for A13 on our phone. So you can always flash Magisk that way if you want

You did flash unmodified boot.img before trying to update? Well, honestly idk why it won't install. Maybe you should try a different method of installing the update, like manually installing it
