We’ve detailed how to install both before, but here’s the brief version: Even if you’ve installed these before, you should get the latest versions now. You’ll need two things for this process: the Android Debug Bridge, which is a command line tool for your computer that lets you interface with your phone, and your phone’s USB drivers. RELATED: How to Install and Use ADB, the Android Debug Bridge Utility Step One: Install the Android SDK and Your Phone’s Drivers When you’ve backed up everything you want to keep, continue with the steps below. If you’re an obsessive Android tweaker who knows you’re going to root soon, consider unlocking before you go through the trouble of setting up your phone. That way, I don’t waste time setting it up only to erase the phone in a few days and do it all over again. Here’s an extra tip: Since I know I’m eventually going to root my phone, I always unlock my bootloader as soon as I buy a new device. In addition, if you have any app settings you want to keep, use their backup function to create a backup settings file, and transfer those to your computer as well. So if you have any photos or other files on your phone that you want to keep, transfer them to your computer now.

Step Zero: Back Up Anything You Want to Keepīefore we begin, it’s important to mention: this process will erase all of your data. If your phone does support unlocking through more official channels, read on. If it doesn’t support unlocking, you’ll have to use an unofficial unlocking or rooting method, which you’ll usually find on the XDA Developers forums. If you have an HTC or Motorola phone, you may be able too research its unlockability on HTC or Motorola’s website. The best way to find out which category your phone falls into is to browse its section at XDA Developers. If you have one of those phones, this guide will sadly not help you. Other phones, however–and some carriers–don’t allow you to unlock your bootloader the official way, which means you have to wait for developers to exploit a security vulnerability if you want to root and flash ROMs. Nexus phones are all unlockable by nature, and many phones from Motorola and HTC allow you to unlock your bootloader through a similar process as the Nexus.

Whether you’re allowed to unlock your bootloader depends on the manufacturer of your phone, the model you have, and even your carrier. You can start using your root apps, Magisk modules, or whatever you like.There are two kinds of phones in this world: Those that let you unlock your bootloader, and those that don’t. That’s it! You now have root access on your OnePlus Nord. Reboot the phone when the flashing completes. Wait for Magisk Manager to download the Magsik.zip file and install it to your phone’s boot image. Finally tap on Direct Install (Recommended).Tap on Install again for the prompt “Do you want to install Magisk”.Press on the Install button in front of Magisk (the first one).If you do not see it, then please connect your phone to the internet using Mobile Data since WiFi will likely not work.

You will notice the message saying “Magisk is up to date” or “Magisk update available”. Open the Magisk Manager app on your phone. But don’t worry, it will start working normally when you do a full reboot later on. Info: WiFi may not work when you boot a patched image. I do that by dragging and dropping the file into the CMD window. If not, please use the full path of the file. Make sure that the file is in the same folder as your platform-tools (adb and fastboot). > Download patched image for OnePlus Nord įor example: fastboot boot
