Hi there I'm new to root, my question is if I root my device will it void my warranty? I only got the device since Nov last year so if it will break the warranty then I'll wait till my warranty runs out. Thanks any feed back will be appreciate
No
Statement from OnePlus said:
The technical process of rooting or unlocking the bootloader does not void the warranty of a OnePlus device. However, we strongly suggest for you to only root or unlock the bootloader of your OnePlus device if you are confident in your understanding of the risks involved.
By accessing resources regularly unavailable to the software, you may damage your hardware during or after the procedure. Such damage is not covered under warranty. In warranty handling, we will first need to verify that any faulty behavior is unrelated to rooting / unlocking.

This Damage Referred is regarding if you by some way kill the motherboard or kill some component by kernel and voltage tweaks which is pretty common to happened if you dont know what ur doing, normal flashing roms and using the devices has no issue

Thanks, I will just only root the device and install viper.
You can do what you want with youre phone. If you want out of the box phone again, flash MSM tool. This will wipe absolute everything in youre phone and lock the boot loader.

No, but when you want to install software updates you will need to either flash them through twrp and flash twrp again BEFORE you REBOOT. Then reboot to recovery and flash Magisk again to keep root.
Or you can go into magisk, choose uninstall (restore images) flash the update from the os system update. Then before you reboot, go back into magisk and choose install (after OTA option) then you can reboot.

Yeah of course. If you use the TWRP method you don't have to do the adb part again, just flash TWRP and magisk again via TWRP.

I'm using these Magisk modules at the moment:
Busybox
Energized Protection
Viper4Android
YouTube Vanced
OnePlus stereo speaker mod
xXx No Limits ROM (this is a rom that works with Oxygen OS. You can debloat system apps, speed your system up, kill unwanted background applications... and more, with no need to flash a new OS or lose your data)
You can use a themeing app called substratum, but make sure the theme you're applying supports whatever ROM you're using.
Install a custom Kernel.
The possibilities are endless mate. Just make sure you read through whatever you are flashing, you don't want to end up with a brick.

I don't think I'm confident to do the kernel stuff, I have root all my samsung device before but I'm talking about few years back. That was still note 2 or note 3 lol and I flash custom rom before the rom looks cool lol.
Stereo audio and Dolby Atmos is my thing as well as viper and font.

For the longest time while installing a new ROM or working in TWRP, I have been asked if I want TWRP to go ahead and install SuperSU for me even if sometimes the device is already rooted. Every guide and advice ever, has always said to ignore this completely. This remains true with Heisenberg's guide.
Heisenberg said:
Do not flash the version of SuperSU that TWRP offers to flash for you in order to give you root, it is not compatible and will cause problems. When you attempt to reboot out of TWRP it will tell you that it's detecting that you don't have root and it will offer to root for you, skip past this.[/b]

Heisenberg mentions it is not compatible. My question is why is this true? I flashed a 6P specific version of TWRP.
Also, are there specific circumstances where one would want TWRP to install SuperSU? To me it just seems like a handy time saver especially if you forgot to download it or something.

Root with marshmallow is different to all previous Android versions, it requires a modified boot.img. The most recent versions of the beta branch of SuperSU patches the boot.img for you, and you get working root. The version that TWRP offers to install is outdated and doesn't perform thief modification of the boot.img, flashing it will result in a boot loop. For the above reasons there are no circumstances where you'd want TWRP to install it for you.
PS. You could have just asked this question in the guide thread.

As far as I remember that happened to me when I tried to relock the bootloader at that moment. Did it work anyway? I mean, did it reboot? Which image did you choose? 5.1 or 6.x? Probably start with 5.1 as this was the original image for the device and later let it update via OTA. Be sure still to grab the appropriate image.

According to the Motorola official developer forums I am not ALLOWED to install a android 5.X image when I last ran a 6.X android system. as the result could be that I could Hard brick my device
also some further info:
I think in the past when I tried to install the official stock rom. I accidentally removed/erased the EFS file. or some file that holds my IMEI information.
and now I practically have to re-write it (since.. well you can't just create a IMEI ID or Can I?). but it seems impossible if I look at it.
but I do have the original box with the original IMEI number.

okay, because you have more experience rooting I am gonna ask you just to be sure.
correct me if i'm wrong:
first I have to flash twrp thingy
next I have to reboot android and copy SuperSU into my storage
then I have to reboot in fastboot and boot into twrp
in twrp I have to flash/install SuperSU into the system.
and.. that's it. so superSU practically roots my device?
oh and from what i've heard/seen I will not be able to update anymore? because when I installed/flash superSU I saw in the log:
''disabling OTA update survival'' or something like that

Hello everyone !
I currently have a H870 european LG g6.
I want to root my phone but I don't want to install TWRP.
I want the lightest and "as stock as possible" way to root.
Is it possible? Thanks a lot for your help !
Your NEED to unlock bootloader. Then ADB to root.
Why not have twrp installed? Great for backup restoring flashing latest root list goes on.
If you want a rom which is 'stock as possible' install Fulmics rom. You do need to unlock your bootloader and use TWRP to install the rom tho'.

?? He just wants root. Nothing else. No ROM.
Aight if you don't want any rom, you still got to unlock your bootloader cause you need to install TWRP to install magisk or supersu. Which root app do you prefer?
I have the US997 and want something similar. I want to root the stock rom with Magisk and still be able to take an OTA. Ideally, unlock, flash TWRP, root, and then flash back stock recovery. This is possible correct?

Yea you can do that. You can keep the stock rom if you want but you will need to flash TWRP to install magisk. Magisk comes with a .zip file which only can be installed with TWRP.

Nope, you always need a custom recovery to flash SuperSu or Magisk.
Anyway, why you don't want the custom recovery? You can always remove it by flashing the stock one.

Thanks! I wish somebody knowledgeable would post an "Ultimate Guide to Rooting your LG G6" thread and make it a sticky. There are contradicting/incomplete instructions on when to press and release the Volume & Power button, when to disconnect the USB cable, etc.
I believe many simple questions on flashing recovery and rooting will keep coming back until a correct, complete and detailed step-by-step guide gets posted.
Just bought my 6T and I have some questions about root:
-Will rooting the 6T wipes internal memory (SD)?
-Can you update OTA while rooted?
Unlocking the boot loader in order to root wipes everything clean. No way around it.
Once rooted I believe you have to apply the full size OTA not the incremental, then make sure to reflash twrp/magisk. See the guides section for details.

Rooting has no effect.
When you unlock the BL it will wipe the phone.
Once that is done, you don't need to fear wiping the phone when rooting.
You can flash the full OTA on the phone by using "local install".
You cannot take the OTA directly since it is incremental and won't install.
Once you download the full OTA you should install, allow the phone to reboot and install again.
This will install on both A/B partitions.

Thanks for trying to help, but I don't think this is entirely correct. The "fastboot boot" command was removed in a10, and an alternative method was eventually developed AFAIK.
I never did get a successful root on this device after spending a whole day on it. It's difficult because little bits of information are scattered everywhere instead of in a single up-to-date guide. And a few months ago, no one could agree on anything. Just look at how many other people got semi-hard bricked.

Fastboot boot command has been allegedly fixed in 10.3.0 and this fix has been confirmed by several people. So yes the philosophy and method hasn't changed since years. At worse you use 'fastboot flash boot' command instead. That's only one change.
You can still extract boot img from payload.bin on your computer, transfer it to your phone and use Magisk manager to patch it and then transfer and flash it with fastboot from your computer. Then you flash twrp installer as a module in Magisk Manager once your phone is rooted. That also hasn't changed for years, this method has always existed.
Most of people bricking their device are doing one thing or another wrong.

You can still extract boot img from payload.bin on your computer, transfer it to your phone and use Magisk manager to patch it and then transfer and flash it with fastboot from your computer. Then you flash twrp installer as a module in Magisk Manager once your phone is rooted. That also hasn't changed for years, this method has always existed.
Most of people bricking their device are doing one thing or another wrong.

This is where I start getting confused lol.
I appreciate the help, but this is not what I'll accustomed to.
Anything you recommend reading to help educate myself?

Nice instructions, But I'm curious why you think he needs them ?
all he needs is
unlock bootloader
fastboot flash boot TWRP.img
boot to TWRP / Flash TWRP installer.zip
Reboot recovery
Flash Magisk.zip in TWRP
reboot
done
the guide I linked earlier goes into great detail explaining each of these steps
He could even use the All in one tool after downloading the correct versions of TWRP and Magisk

That's what I've read as well. And there are many solutions but I find them scattered all over the forms.
And I don't trust YouTube videos lol
I just want to make sure it works with 10.3.0.
I can downgrade if necessary but trying to find the easiest method.
Thanks guys for all your help. Maybe I'll post a 10.3.0 thread after this if it's needed to avoid confusion

I don't think there is the need of another thread. Many are already talking about rooting and flashing twrp.
What makes people confuse is that perhaps some of them think things have changed... And that methods are bound to an Android version.
Nothing has changed.
Fastbooting TWRP and then flashing it, is the way we do it since years. Patching boot img as an alternative is also a classical way to root.
People are blinded by tiny differences and don't see that the frame hasn't changed. You unlock the bootloader, then boot to twrp and then either you flash only Magisk either you flash twrp then Magisk. Very simple. Always with latest versions.
It's because xda threads are not moderated except for offenses, etc that many users post their 'own' recipe every 2 pages without anybody cleaning and organizing things to make them understandable. And the fact that threads are not well maintained in time, with titles and first posts instructions that can seem obsolete.... Especially on old phones like our when devs are quitting the scene without designating a maintainer

Thanks for clarifying.
Even for someone experienced with flashing and modding in the past, but I've been away from the flashing world.
There is a lot of conflicting info about this. Some say to patch boot img manually.
The TWRP thread says to install TWRP as a magisk module.
But seriously, Thanks. I'm glad I came across this thread. I thought the old way of doing things was done with Android 10, until I read this.

You can do that, installing TWRP as a module, since one year or so. So you just fastboot boot twrp, flash Magisk zip, then once phone booted back to Android, flash twrp as a module with Magisk Manager
Same thing if you just want to flash kernels, no need to have TWRP, Ex Kernel Manager or Franco Kernel Manager can do this as long as you're rooted

@Striatum_bdr you've been very helpful person here in a bit.
Since this a/b partition has come around, I have gotten multiple ways to unlock bootloader and root with my moto x4. And before I owned that Motorola, I've never had a reason to use a/b partitions. Long story short, my TWRP got screwed and I've become hesitant about doing anything with a new device. And this is the best device I've owned in many years so I have to do it right.
Unless any further issues arise, I'm going to go for it.
Thank you everyone that's helped guide me thru this.
Edit :I've no idea what patching a boot img is lol.

Thank you. Definitely need to get this done.
Atm I think I'm gonna stick with stock ROM but maybe a custom kernel.
Any suggestions?

Yeah, this is an awesome device. Only device I've been happy with since my old Samsung note 4. Biggest thing I miss, it'd be nice to have an SD card slot!
Patching a boot image is what Magisk does when you install it. But you just would manually do this.
Last question, I've been reading too install Magisk 19.4.
Does that still apply?
Apologies for all the questions (and great appreciation for the help), but the information here is scattered and at times contradicting when all I need now is a simple magisk manager and mod ?.
Thank you all for your help.
