Hi, i discovered a fix for this problem and made 2 flashable zips. Follow the steps.
If you have 4.0.2 or older just do steps 3 and 4.
1- Download the 4.0.2 firmware and the firmware of your current version:
OP3T files:
Oxygen 4.1.1:https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bzko1towAti5XzNCRVVwUVYzRms

2- Flash in TWRP the 4.0.2 firmware zip.
3- Reboot to bootloader and connect your phone to the pc.
4- Use this commands:
fastboot oem disable_dm_verity
fastboot oem enable_dm_verity
5- Reboot to recovery
6- Flash in TWRP the firmware of your current OOS version.
And you are done! :highfive:

Exactly, I'm uploading a new file correcting that. But don't worry, you flashed the 4.0.3 firmware. Thanks for the report!
Worked for me as well. Thank you.
thanks worked at my 1+3T.
working for me also on A3010.
thanks.
Please add
Code:
getprop("ro.display.series") == "OnePlus 3T" || abort("E3004: This package is for \"OnePlus 3T\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.display.series") + "\".");
as first line in your updater-script which prevents bricked devices.
Nice to see it's working!

Phone just goes off.
Now wont power at all. Even if I plug in to power it up, the light doesnt lit up.
It's comepletly dead now
Oh, god, I just killed my phone beacouse that verity thing! I should leave it alone.
done it with 4.0.2 rooted and without succes
Is this only for OnePlus 3T?
I fuc..d my device beacouse I flashed this on my OnePlus 3?
I didn't look the topic name before. And in post it didnt stated taht its for OP3T only.

Just do step 3 and 4 if you are on 4.0.2 or older. Now flash 4.0.2 firmware and then do 3 and 4 and you are done.
off topic I know, but can someone explain why people are getting this error? If you root correctly you don't this error.

Not sure what/if I've done wrong TBH... still, I had the message
I reflashed op3t recovery i then reflashed oxygen 4.0.2 but still getting the error then i flashed twrp 3. and then the su after that i have flashed your 4.0.2. Img and gave the fastboot commands still the error is there maybe i do something wrong! The weird is that when i enter twrp it asks me for a pattern... Should i remove security locks from oxygen 4.0.2 and try again! Anyway.. Goodnight for now.
It's worked!!!
thx a lot!!!
First off I am not criticizing the amazing XDA developers here, and all the people that help make root and ROM's happen.
This is aimed at Essential the company themselves
I was under the impression the Essential Phone was sort of like a Pixel, or Nexus, or OnePlus type of phone. Meaning running a near stock Android OS, an unlocked device, easily rooted. For example when a new OnePlus phone is released, root is out super fast. But the reason the Essential Phone has not been rooted yet is because of Essential holding back the factory images on us still. I guess I have to ask why would Essential do this ? I thought they touted this phone as a open platform, very similar in idea to the old Nexus line ?
The Essential Phone has been out 2 months now, and the important files for rooting still have not been officially released to the public yet ? What's up with Essential holding back so long ?

Interedasting.
It'd be great if you could provide further proof/instructions.
Thanks a bunch.
There was a thread about someone working on LOS earlier this week but now I don't see it. Can't remember the user's name but he said that he had TWRP (no touchscreen though) working on the ROM, and posted some screenies of it booted and invited anyone who wanted to develop to his Discord. The same person was over on the /essential thread too on reddit too but now I don't see that thread either.
The Essential staff did an AMA over there yesterday too but noone asked about releasing the source code to my knowledge. I'm not sure what's going on. They'd sell more phones if people knew they are ROM friendly.

Pretty sure the staff that did the AMA was just the design staff, not software staff. As soon as the files are released it will take about a day I bet for root. I remember seeing a thread on reddit that you are referring to as well. I think the people who can root it won't until the files are released. One **** up and they have a very expensive brick.
Thanks for the replies. So any idea as to when this source code image files will get released from Essential ? What's their holdup ?
Agreed, dicey proposition with no factory images.
We have devs working on it. Root has been achieved and there's a TWRP build but the touchscreen doesn't work you have to use a mouse to navigate. Also, there's no factory images yet to go back to stock in case of a problem. Once they iron out the issues I'm sure someone will release a guide.
Currently on the Nexus 6P, that's getting bad. I really want the Essential phone, but only if root comes out for sure, also ROM's would be great.
Otherwise I may just wait for the OnePlus 5T announcement, and if it's $500 go that route instead. At least the 5T will have good development

Man how did u root?? I really wanna root
I rooted with this Guide from the Discord Server from bmg1001: "In order to flash Magisk, you'll need the Magisk zip, TWRP, the stock boot image, and A USB OTG MOUSE (used to control TWRP for the moment). Boot into the stock recovery and perform a factory reset, then reboot into the bootloader. You need to flash TWRP via "fastboot flash boot twrp-mata.img". Once flashed, you need to boot into TWRP via the bootloader menu. When you boot into TWRP, move the Magisk zip and stock boot image into the phone's storage. Then, flash the boot image within TWRP, then flash Magisk."

ROOT
Guys, if you truly, truly want to root your device, follow these steps. Just remember, I am not responsible if you end up bricking your device (and neither are the main developers currently working on TWRP and Lineage). YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO ON YOUR OWN DEVICE! (also this probably voids warranty btw)
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR NMJ20D.
Now, one more thing. Remember, this TWRP build is very much in alpha stages and there are some major bugs with it, including no touch support and no crypto. Also, when I rooted, I had to use my USB OTG Mouse in order to maneuver around TWRP, but with this method, hopefully anyone can do it, without the mouse. The boot.img I will provide is the NMJ20D boot.img with the patches that Magisk puts in when you install it, so it's not exactly stock. Also, you might need to factory reset your device via the stock recovery (and make sure not to boot it back up until after you flash Magisk) just in case, since TWRP is buggy with crypto atm.
You can find a dump of NMJ20D here, in case you need to fix a bootloop (due to a bad Substratum theme, etc...) -- (you'll likely need only boot_a.img and system_a.img (within the system_a.zip).
If you wish to return to stock in order to accept OTAs, feel free to flash the unofficial factory images here and, should OTAs still fail, you may be required to wipe your data, which can be done via "fastboot -w". (Side Note: I believe the script included within the unofficial factory images also flashes the firmware to both partitions, so if your fingerprint sensor is seemingly absent or not working, this might actually fix it, as it has for some custom ROMs on the Essential.
Anyways, lets get started!
Make sure to download Magisk v14.3 and the alpha build of TWRP. Also, make sure to grab my boot.img with the Magisk stuff in it. And of course, your bootloader must be unlocked.
1. Reboot your Essential into fastboot mode. Once in fastboot mode, flash TWRP via
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp-mata.img
2. Then, from within the fastboot menu, go to "recovery mode" and select it. After TWRP has booted up, type
Code:
adb shell twrp sideload
and then
Code:
adb sideload magisk.zip
3. Once Magisk finishes installing completely, reboot back to fastboot. Now that you're back in fastboot, flash the boot.img I provided via the good ol' command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_a.img
4. Now reboot! You should now have root and stuff via Magisk!
Appreciate the root guide, guess I can pick one of these up now to play around with. Awesome!!

I should of took a picture cuz I can't remember but it does give me an error tho ..I'm gonna retry when I get home from work but I literally sat there for almost 3 hours attempting to root to no success
I tried rooting my OP6T on Android 10, and was up half the night. Recovered from a hard brick twice, using the Qualcomm serial flash tool thing. I was trying to flash Majisk, and read that it had to be done via a custom recovery like TWRP. All the guides said that it to boot TWRP, then basically flash TWRP using itself so that it says. Fastboot kept saying "Remote Unknown Command" when using "fastboot boot" like all the guides said. Then someone told me to run "fastboot flash boot twrp.img". This caused the first hard brick. I guess because I wrote the recovery over the boot partition. I then found a post somewhere where someone said that Oneplus Devs removed the boot command from Fastboot for some reason. No idea why!! But no one else in the OP6T TWRP thread reported issues. Maybe they were all installing TWRP on an Android 9.x build that diden't have this issue? Eventually after recovering and flashing several layers on OTA updates through the local upgrade option, I was back on A10 OB2. But I still wanted root and hadn't got TWRP working yet. Then I found a random post buried in a random thread somewhere saying that custom recoveries on A10 are useless at this point period because TWRP can't flash the system partition, as it's read only. Not sure if this only applies to OP devices?
I am now back to where I started. I would still like twrp for backups, but since it's not cooperating, I try the alternative option for Masisk, involving the patched boot.img file. I download the patched the patched boot file in this thread. Flashed it with "fastboot flash boot boot.img", and got my 2nd hard brick. It would get stuck at the bootloader warning screen and no fastboot.
Now i've lost my data, 6+ hour of time, and no closer than I was before.
I am going to take a break now, cause I need an operational phone this week. Word of advice: If you're not a developer that knows exactly what they are doing, don't even attempt to get root on an Android 10 build!
You can install Magisk,manager,extract the boot img from the OOS zip file using payload_dumper,copy that boot img. to your phone,patch the image with magisk,copy to your PC then fastboot the patched image to your phone .And yes,you cannot have twrp yet.
I'm on the open beta 2 of Android 10 and I have root and TWRP. It's possible.
It's not that hard, you don't even need twrp to install magisk. in android 10.
download open beta 2 Android 10. Extract payload.bin from it. Use payload_dumper to extract boot
install magisk apk, and patch boot.
go to fastboot use the
"Fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img "
and you are done.

I think I see what I did! I need to use "fastboot flash boot_a" (or b), and not just "fastboot flash boot". Not sure how you know whether to use a or b without a custom recovery though? Because AFAIK, the fastboot command for that is broken.
Not sure what payload dumper is, but I should be able to use the the same patched boot image that everyone else used since it's for that same ROM, now that I known exactly where to flash it to (besides A or B).
When I flashed to "boot" before, I must have overwritten some kind of low-level pre-bootloader, lol.
Thank you

How did you achieve this? Do you have to start with A9 with TWRP, and then somehow upgrade to A10 without overwriting it with stock recovery?
I found this guide, but step 2 does not make sense to me. How could you flash TWRP inside of the Masisk Manager app?
I imagine you still can't flash system with TWRP, but everything else works?
Thank you

I think the issue was that I flashed to the wrong place. See above. Thank you.
I'm feeling extremely lazy rn and I don't feel like explaining all of the trouble I went through to get it working, but you should be able to just fastboot flash these images to their respective partitions and you should have both TWRP and Magisk. It's got Magisk 20.1, the modified one so that EdXposed will work. But they're functionally the same.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/149TqVLqKr7Rc8xygMDoUyY_SLoATQrRq/view?usp=drivesdk
Let me know if it works.
Note: this is the boot.img for the second open beta of Android 10 for the OnePlus 6T. This may also work on the stable and first beta release as well as even on the 6, but I do not know. Also, your SIM card may not be showing up, but this problem disappeared for me a minute or two after boot.

It's 100% safe and I can guarantee it'll boot as long as you're on an international OP6T on the Android 10 open beta 2. I reuploaded and included the stock boot.img as well so just in case you do have any problems, you can just fastboot flash it and you'll be able to boot right up (no hard brick or anything)

Great. Thank you. I might wait for the next stable build though. It just came out on H2OS, so shouldn't be too long now.
Man it just worked smooth for me. I was already on OB2 and I followed this below link. Half way down, I realised it was for OP6 and not 6T. However I had proper twrp and I just followed the procedure.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/how-to-flash-twrp-magisk-android-10-t3988213
EDIT: I faced problems with wifi connectivity. So I had rebooted to TWRP and reflashed OB2, TWRP and Magisk again to get it working. An issue with
"fastboot flash boot" command I guess.

I wasn't sure either but I know that the boot on the oneplus 6t android 10 it has two partitions. I just flashed it on boot_a and it works. I could attempt to install twrp on the other partition but I don't really needed it. good luck and let us know how it went.

I had a bit more luck with the adventure this time! Successfully flashed TWRP and Magisk, but then Emojis were completely broken at the OS level. Apparently this is caused by a partition issue, but not sure how this happened. I tried a script to fix it that someone posted and it did not work. So I took this as an opportunity to flash the latest ROM to fix it.
I went into TWRP, ran the full update ZIP, then the TWRP installer, then the Magisk installer (all without rebooting). Apparently it does not switch slots automatically when you run it from recovery instead of the "local update" option? TWRP was fine after the update, but Masisk was not, despite me flashing the ZIP. No idea why! But I switched back to the other slot that was still rooted, used Magisk Manager to flash it to inactive slot, and switched slot back to one with new OS. Success! Funny how different methods work/fail with different people. Thanks for the help everyone. I just noticed 10.3.1 is no longer posted on the OnePlus website download page, hope it didn't get pulled again!
EDIT: Does each slot just have its own system and cache partition? Everything else is like data and modem is combined, right?

This guide is now obsolete. Please check my new guide. It has a custom recovery for this device as well as a rooting guide. Refer to this guide only for installing adb and unlocking bootloader.
This rooting guide is for the Lenovo Tab M10 X505X only.
I plan to work on a custom recovery for this tab as well and probably a custom rom in the future.
So please consider donating so that I can keep up the work.
Donations
Google Pay
This will work only on the version "TB-X505X_S001037_200718_ROW". Check it in the Settings > System > About Tablet > Build Number. If it is the newer "X505X_S001038_200819_ROW", do a factory reset and make sure it is the "TB-X505X_S001037_200718_ROW" before proceeding.
Once a custom recovery is made, OTA updates can be applied without losing root. So do not update the tablet until a custom recovery is developed for the device. I plan to develop a custom recovery for it as soon as possible, so please support me.
Anything that goes wrong in this tutorial is not my responsibilty. Proceed at your own risk.

Step 1. ADB and Fastboot Installation [If adb and fastboot are already installed, skip to Step 2]1. Download the platform tools for your OS from this link.
2. Extract the zip file and place the contents in a folder "platform-tools".
3. To confirm if adb is working, open a command prompt "platform-tools" and run the following command.
Code:
adb version
If it returns the adb version, its done.
Step 2. Unlocking BootloaderWe have to unlock the bootloader inorder to root the device.
Warning: Unlocking bootloader wipes data on the device. It is recommended to backup your data. Proceed at your own risk.
1. Now in the tab, goto Settings > System > About Tablet. Multiple tap the "Build Number" till the developer options are enabled.
2. Goto the developer options and turn on the "OEM unlocking".3. Power off the device.
4. Turn it on by holding Power Button + Volume Down. Once the screen turns on. leave the power button but continue holding the Volume Down button until the fastboot mode is shown.
5. Now open a command prompt in "platform-tools" and now run the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock-go
Your Bootloader is now succesfully unlocked.Step 3. RootingNow to root the tab, download the "patched_boot.img" from the top of this post. Copy the file to the "platform-tools" folder.
Make sure the tab is still in the fastboot mode. Otherwise go back into the fastboot mode as instructed before.
Now run the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
Congratulations, you have rooted your tab.:highfive:
To complete the process, run the following command.
Code:
fastboot reboot
Once the tab turns on, goto this link and download the latest version of Magisk apk and install it. It is required to control the root privileges for other apps.That's all. You now have a rooted tab.:victory:
If this helped you, hit the thanks button.
And keep tuned for new stuff that are to come for this device.

Have a look at this post for a TWRP that works with the TB-X505F. It might work for the TB-X505X, provided the X505X uses the SDA429 soc. That version of TWRP is unofficial and does not decrypt the data partition.
If the X505F version of TWRP works for you, then you won't need to patch the boot image - you can just install the Magisk update.zip in TWRP. This saves you from having to release a new patched boot image every time there's an OTA.

With the TB-X505F/L, TB-X605F/L and TB-X705F/L we've found that you need to uninstall Magisk to apply OTAs. This is because Lenovo's OTA updater scripts verify you have unmodified boot, system, vendor and firmware partitions. So make sure you backup these partitions as stock.

I gave a look at the TWRP image. Unfortunately, X505X does not boot into the recovery image. It would have been great if it worked. I guess it is because of the different processor, as you mentioned.
It is the same for X505X as well. OTA cannot be applied without uninstalling Magisk. So I guess OTAs are a no-go until a custom recovery is developed. The latest update is also just a boot image patch. So there is no way to use magisk on that.
Thanks for the advice.
But i updated to android 10 S001122_200915
Sir, thanks for the thread.,
But unfortunately my version is S001122_200915 and u had posted patched boot_img for S001037 version. I dont want to downgrade. Please make a patched boot_img for this version.
Excuse me if this was asked before. Is there a rooting method for TB-X505F? It's the model that is sold in Europe. I'm thinking of buying this.

I'm currently working on the twrp for this device. Once it is finished it should be able to root without downgrading.

I am on the latest 11.0.8.8 EU version. I had patched the boot.img using magisk 23 app, but when i try to flash the patched boot.img using adb fastboot, keep getting "com.android.phone" crashes. Need to flash stock boot.img to get the sim cards working. Any suggestion to get root ?
Remove oos native call recorder module if you have it, if not just remove all modules.

Have you been on my guide mate?? It's all laid out for you..
Don't flash anything, you want to boot first as this is not permanent.
Stable 23 is the correct version..

I am on the stable 23 version. Disabling the native OOS call recording module solved the issue. @gsser Thanks mate.

Ah yes, always disable Magisk modules prior to upgrading firmware.
As they may not be compatible, this is also in the guide.
Glad you're up and running mate
Nice one

Yep I've got guides for unlocking the bootloader and rooting in the guides sections.
Both called as such accordingly.
Tbh there are a few guides all should be fine.
Just read through the root guide.
Unlocking the bootloader it's easy.
Code: fastboot OEM unlock
Agree on phone.
Rooting:
Obtain patched image
Fastboot boot Magisk patched
Don't flash it, just wait for boot then open Magisk and click install / direct install.
Again this is all in the guides.
