[Updated/All Versions & Models!] Root OnePlus 7T Pro

[HolyChickenGuy]

How to root any version of the OnePlus 7T Pro!

1. Make sure your bootloader is unlocked!

2. Once you're unlocked enter the following ADB commands to extract your current boot image (Your phone needs to be on)

adb shell dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_a of=/boot_a.img

adb pull /boot_a.img pathinyourpc

3. Download & install Magisk Manager on your phone

4. Put the boot_a.img file on your phone

5. Open the magisk manager app and click the "Advanced Settings" button, then enable "Prserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity & Preserve force encryption", then select the top "Install" button and select "Patch to boot image" and select the boot_a.img

6. Now magisk will create a magisk patched boot image file, put that on your computer

7. Now enter the following ADB command

adb reboot fastboot

fastboot --set-active=a

fastboot boot pathtomagiskpatched.img

8. Now you'll boot into the system, reopen the magisk app and click the top install button again and select "Direct install", then reboot

Congratulations you've now successfully rooted your phone!

EDIT: This guide is wrong.

Check these references for the proper guide to root. OP refuses to acknowledge it's wrong even when I pointed it out to him with proof.

Just a question, have you tried Viper4Android (if your use it)?: Use 2.7.1.6 stable version.

hi,


tryed it out.. When i boot your patched image.. there is no install button in magisk. It tolds me that i am already on the newest version.

Second.. WLAN isnt working any more. Cant enable wlan. When i reboot with stock img. everything is fine.

Yes it says its installed thats correct but you need to install it again in the magisk app so it stays after restarting the phone. I don't know about WLAN tho

Can you turn on Wifi ?
When i turn it on. It is disabled at the end.
There are similar problems in the 7t forums. Seems a problem with the used magisk version for the boot image.. did you use the canary magisk files ?

and yes.. I know why i need to install. But the linked version of magisk says only.. uninstall..


Edit: i have a european version of the oneplus 7t pro .. and can you provide the original boot image.

 

[Lossyx]

I can confirm I have successfully rooted using this method, and WIFI is working fine. Thank you very much, OP and everyone involved, no wits time to set up my device

 

[spetke]

Ah! Will do this immediately when I get home.

I tried magisk and now it loops to fastboot, does anyone know to recover from this? Does the msm tool for OP7T Pro?

edit: flashed the original boot img and boots fine, whever i try to boot magisk patched it bootlops because faulty drivers
to clear up, i tried installing viper4android driver directly from the app, so i guess theres residue left

did you install modules ? try booting the patched boot image from here and then, uninstall the modules again...

Works like a charm!

Minor thing you may want to clarify (I know you know, but to prevent confusion for readers), you give a warning that this will wipe all data, but that is not exactly true. Unlocking the bootloader wipes all data, but that step is not part of your instructions. Just following your steps on an already unlocked phone does not wipe the phone.

Thanks to everyone who made this possible so soon!

my wifi works perfectly fine, I have the EU version too.

I attached screenshots of what to do with the installed, please select the direct install option and then reboot!

I have a warning above the instructions already, I think you might have missed it

to clear up, i tried installing viper4android driver directly from the app, so i guess theres residue left

I also bootlooped as well, I tried to install liveboot and i guess that didnt work lol

anyways, I fixed my bootloop by booting the unpatched boot img and then doing a factory reset in the settings, after that you can just boot to the magisk boot img again!

Use the module next time!

I'm not sure where the misunderstanding is coming from, I know that you give that warning. What I mean is that strictly speaking following your steps does not wipe the phone, unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone. But you don't have that step in your instructions. See what I mean? .

When I read your steps, I was like "wipes my phone how?" Maybe booting your image would wipe my phone or something? I'm glad it didn't .

I just thought for clarity's sake it would be good to make that clear in the steps that's all!

Oh sorry, yeah I rewrote it to make it clearer. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your data

Damn, you are my hero. Did a factory reset and followed the OP again, now everything is fine and I'm rooted. Thank you again.

edit: also, for safety precaution, disable automatic updates in Developer options

Great, I'll check back in on this tomorrow and see how everyone is getting on before I try. Had a skim through here this morning before mine arrived and didn't see anything so set up as is.
