This tutorial explains how to root, unroot, and update a rooted OnePlus 7T Pro phone.
#-----------------------------------
SETUP
#-----------------------------------
- Follow this guide for setting up adb on the PC:
https://www.androidauthority.com/lineageos-install-guide-893303/
- Should have this downloaded and unzipped:
platform-tools_r33.0.1-linux.zip
- Download these files and link if switching to LineageOS:
RECOVERY.img -> lineage-18.1-20220412-recovery-hotdog.img
LINEAGE.zip -> lineage-18.1-20220412-nightly-hotdog-signed.zip
GAPPS.zip -> MindTheGapps-11.0.0-arm64-20220217_100228.zip
TWRP.img -> twrp-3.6.1_11-0-hotdog.img # Probably not needed.
- Create folder: COPY_TO_DOWNLOADS and add to it:
app-debug.apk (Magisk) from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk-files/canary/app-debug.apk
boot -> ../STOCK/images/latest/boot.img
safetynet-fix-v2.2.1.zip from https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases/tag/v2.2.0
- Stock Rom:
- Download:
https://www.oneplus.com/global/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1574162297465
- Unzip using:
payload-dumper-go_1.2.0_linux_amd64/payload-dumper-go
- Copy extracted folder to:
STOCK/images/OnePlus7TProOxygen_14.O.32_OTA_0320/
- Create links to latest stock build:
A11.0.6.1 -> OnePlus7TProOxygen_14.O.32_OTA_0320
latest -> A11.0.6.1
#-----------------------------------
Custom ROM
#-----------------------------------
This will change to a custom ROM (LineageOS):
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/hotdog/#supported-models
#-----------------------------------
RESTORE/ROOT
#-----------------------------------
This will restore OnePlus 7T Pro to Stock Rom
(Optionally Root):
- Create boot.img patch file (If rooting):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/working-safetynet-with-pixel-6-pro-android-12.4354149/
- Use Magisk to create magisk_patched-*.img from boot.img
- Copy patch file to STOCK/images/latest/
- Flash the stock ROM (OOS latest version)
cd STOCK
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot devices
FLASH_STOCK.sh # --slot=all only works when in recovery->fastboot
- Do a full factory reset through the TWRP recovery # Optional?
fastboot boot TWRP.img
# Wipe -> All options.
- Flash stock boot.img
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot flash --slot=all boot images/latest/boot.img
- Flash custom boot (If rooting):
ROOT.sh
- Again enter recovery mode in stock recovery. Do a full wipe.
fastboot reboot recovery
# Wipe -> All options.
- Now lock the bootloader (unless rooting): # Do not lock if rooting!
fastboot oem lock --skip-reboot
- Reboot to enter stock recovery and wipe all again
fastboot reboot recovery
# Wipe -> All options.
- Reboot
This may require a factory reset if you get put into 'Data may be corrupted'
- Additional setup (if rooting):
- Copy 'COPY_TO_DOWNLOADS' to downloads folder on the phone.
- Install Magisk apk on the phone.
- Open Magisk -> Go to Install > Install and click on Direct Install.
- Click button to finish setup (which will also reboot the phone).
- Pass SafetyNet Checks:
- Magisk -> Direct Install -> safetynet-fix-v2.2.1.zip
- Magisk -> Settings -> enable Zygisk
- Magisk -> Settings -> Enforce DenyList
- Show system apps.
- Select: Google Pay.
- Select: Google Play Store.
- Select: (Banking apps).
- Magisk -> Settings -> Hide the Magisk app.
- Reboot your device and test SafetyNet with an app like YASNAC
- Clear app data for "Play Store"

Errors / Warnings
#-----------------------------------
Warning: "Spare file format at header magic"
Comment: "That warning is normal"
Current image boot/recovery have been destroyed
and can not boot.
"Writing 'odm_b' FAILED (remote: 'No such file or directory'"
fastboot delete-logical-partition odm_b
fastboot create-logical-partition odm_b 1000
fastboot flash --slot=b odm images/latest/odm.img
#-----------------------------------
Backup
#-----------------------------------
I did system update and would like to backup boot.img file.
adb root
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
Can patch that file (boot.img) on the phone.
