How to Root the OnePlus Two

**Setting Up ADB and Preparing for Rooting**

To begin the rooting process, we need to set up ADB on our PC. This involves installing the necessary drivers and software. If you haven't already done so, please refer back to my previous video on setting up ADB.

Once ADB is installed and configured, we can proceed with the rooting process. We will open the Command Prompt window and type in `adb devices` to verify that our device can be detected by ADB. This ensures that our device is recognized by ADB and that we are ready to move forward.

Next, we need to connect our device to our PC via a USB cable. Once connected, we will type in the command `adb reboot bootloader` and press enter. Our device will then boot into bootloader mode. While in bootloader mode, we can verify that our device is detected by ADB by typing in the command `fastboot devices`.

If our device is not detected, please refer back to my previous video on troubleshooting and fixing common issues with ADB.

Once our device is detected, we need to unlock the bootloader using the command `fastboot OEM unlock`. This will prompt us to erase user data, which we must select by using the power button. After our device reboots, we need to go back into Settings > About phone and enable Developer options, which may require multiple taps on the build number.

Next, we need to enable USB debugging and OM unlocking in Developer options. If you encounter issues with USB debugging, please refer back to my previous video on troubleshooting and fixing common issues with ADB.

Once our device is connected via USB, we can use the Command Prompt window to push the necessary files onto our device. We will type in `adb push supersu zip slash sdcard flash` to transfer the necessary files.

After pushing the files, we need to reboot our device into bootloader mode by typing in the command `adb reboot bootloader`. Once in bootloader mode, we can verify that our device is detected and type in the command `fastboot devices` to confirm.

Next, we need to install the recovery image using the command `fastboot flash recovery covery IMG`. This will complete the rooting process.

**Bootloader Mode and Recovery Installation**

Once the installation is complete, we need to unplug our device from the PC. To access the recovery mode, we need to manually boot into it by holding down both the volume down and power buttons simultaneously. Keep holding them until we see the OnePlus logo, then release the power button but continue holding the volume down button.

Next, we will tap on "Install" in the Recovery Mode menu and navigate through the options until we see SuperSU at the bottom of the screen. Tap on it to select, then swipe to confirm the installation.

After installing SuperSU, we need to wipe the cache and dalvik files using the recovery menu. Once complete, we can reboot our device into system mode by tapping "Reboot System" in the Recovery Mode menu.

**Enabling Root Access**

Once our device reboots into system mode, it will prompt us if we want to disable the stock recovery or replace it with a custom recovery. We must select "Disable" to keep the TW RP recovery.

Next, we need to open the Play Store and search for "Root Checker." Install it and open it to grant root access. Once granted, you should see SuperSU in your app drawer, indicating that you have successfully rooted your device.

**Conclusion**

And that's it! You have now successfully rooted your Oneplus phone using ADB and recovery mode. I hope this video helped guide you through the process. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask in the comments section below.

backup anything that you feel is important before you get started basically we're gonna do is we're gonna flash a custom recovery on to the device and then use that to gain root access okay first up we need the files to help us root it which I put on my drive so you can click that link there then click download and save that to your desktop right click it and it extract here and inside the folder you should see a recovery IMG and supersu gots it connects tweedy install ADB and fastboot basically those are they are two programs that Android created that allows you to talk to the phone for development reasons through your computer now we're going to use them to flash that recovery image and then to gain root access so if you don't really have them set up please click the link here to be taken to my video tutorial on how to set that up it's super easy and fast so just do that really quick whether it's Windows or Mac and then come back to this once you're done so we can continue okay once you have ATB all set up and it can see your phone we're going to open that one plus two rooting older again we're going to grab the recovery IMG and the superuser zip file and we're going to copy and go to this pc c drive to our adb folder if you don't have that that's because you didn't do my adb procedures so go do that and then you'll have this and inside here you'll see ADB and fastboot we're gonna right click in here and paste those other two files as well okay showed already done this when you were setting up ADB but just in case you're going to go to the settings on the phone roll all the way down to about phone scroll down to build number and keep tapping on it until it tells you you are developer in the name go to developer options turn on USB debugging and then also turn on om unlocking then plug the device in by USB hey then with the phone plugged in and everything enabled on it we're going to open up our File Explorer go to this PC or mine computer whatever it's called for you open up the C Drive and then you'll see any ATV folder in here again and open that we're gonna hold shift on our keyboard and right click a blank space in there then hit open command window here and we're going to type in first adb devices just to make sure we can see our device and so long you have that serial number in the word device you're all set otherwise if you don't please head back to that video I mentioned about how to set up a TV and do that until you can see this then we're going to type ADB reboot bootloader and it enter and the device will reboot into bootloader mode when it does we're going to type in fastboot devices just to make sure we can see it again make sure you have the serial number that we're fast-food next to at this time again if you don't head back

back into settings all the way down to about phone again we're going to re-enable ADB so build number a bunch of times so it says your developer back developer options and make sure om unlocking is on and USB debugging and on I have to rename USB debugging you might have to like I have to go back into device manager and find the exclamation point right click it update driver software browse my computer pick from a list Android device in this case mine says Oppo your don't say that it's just because I have multiple drivers android adb interface hit next and yes that way we manually tell it what it is then unplug the phone and plug it back in and then really the RSA key biting always allow and ok and in our same command front window we can type adb push supersu zip slash sdcard flash super su zip can then type ADB reboot bootloader enter and again with the device to boot back into fastboot mode and we're gonna type fastboot flash recovery covery IMG once it says finished here we're going to unplug the phone I'm going to boot it manually into recovery by holding down volume down and power at the same time and keep holding them until you see the oneplus logo then you can let go the power button but keep holding volume down until you see team win recovery then we can tap install scroll all the way down then you see supersu at bottom tap that tap swipe to confirm wavered to
