[How To] Root the OnePlus One + TWRP DL Link

Patrick Hill · May 28, 2014

Patrick Hill, May 28, 2014 :

Requirements: ADB and Fastboot knowledge

Here are the root Instructions:
Download Twrp: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/231

copy Supersu.zip to your sdcard: http://download.chainfire.eu/420/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99.zip

boot into the bootloader

run the command:
Code:
fastboot boot twrpimgname.img
(notice it's boot, not flash. It will take about a minute before it boots into twrp)

flash the SuperSu zip in recovery

reboot

go into SuperSU settings and uncheck "Respect CM's root Policy"

you will then be rooted..

If you want to flash the recovery instead of just booting it you will have to unlock the bootloader first
fastboot oem unlock
then after it wipes the device, boot back into the bootloader and run the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrpimgname.img

Thank you, @Patrick Hill!!! All I need is the phone now

Edit: do you need a separate USB driver for OPO?

Now all we have to do is get our hands on the OnePlus!

Thanks, but I just might keep it the way it is since most of the things I would usually root for (lol) are already packaged in cyanogen.

no, this uses Fastboot, not adb so you don't need any drivers of any sort. Just use minimal adb and fastboot tools and you are set.

This is frustrating
I want to do this but where is my Oneplus One?

Ooh bummer I don't have one...

Let's Root his phone.
<fastboot> <root> <his phone> --now

Not good in Rooting, Go to youtube and search "How to root Nexus TWRP".
Same method with OPO Phone. Nothing different at all.

Seems easy enough! Can't wait

nishus97 · May 29, 2014

nishus97, May 29, 2014 :

I'll be rooting only to get Xposed Framework, nothing else at first. After support has stopped I may end up flashing ROMs etc. but when I initially get it, it'll only be for Xposed!

Oh and Viper4Android because the DSP manager is not great!

Thanks a lot

nigelhealy · May 29, 2014

nigelhealy, May 29, 2014 :

Excellent

Crossed off my list

Reasons to not buy the OPO

Can't root

Not field tested

Too big top+bottom bezels for 5.5" screen

Can't get one!

I thought there was no sd card on the OPO ("copy Supersu.zip to your sdcard")?
