The mobile phone OnePlus 5 it is generally an excellent Smartphone, but like many it does not allow Root. In addition to being an excellent smartphone it is also economical, in fact starting from 499 euros it offers high performance thanks to a double camera with very high resolution, 8 GB of RAM and internal memory up to 128 GB. A root would allow us to exploit all this power even more freely, so let's see how we can enable this access with this handy guide.
Note: always remember that you are modifying your Smartphone. The warranty will be removed and there is always a slight chance of completely ruining your mobile phone. Always exercise extreme caution.
Before starting, consider these needs:
- You must have all the ADB tools installed, for which you will need to be familiar with the commands and fastboot.
- The "Developer options" function must be kept enabled, which you can enable by going to the Device Info in the settings and pressing several times on "Build Version".
- USB Debugging must be enabled
- The mobile will be reset to zero, so save all your data before starting
You can download the ADB tools through SDKTools, starting to download the Setup from here:
Per Windows: https://dl.google.com/android/installer_r24.4.1-windows.exe
Per Mac: https://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.4.1-macosx.zip
Once the installation starts, make sure “Android SDK Platform Tools” is selected. Once this is done, go to the path C: Programs (x86) AndroidAndroid-sdk. At that point, hold down the Shift key on the "Platform-tools" folder and right click: you will see the option "Open command window here".
Essentially what is needed is to have the ADB tools at hand and be able to reach them easily with the Command Prompt. The SDKTools allow you to download the latest version of the ADB tools.
Now let's try to dedicate ourselves to the OnePlus 5.
- Go to Developer Options and look for the "OEM Unlock" or "OEM Unlock" setting. Turn off your mobile phone once this setting is enabled.
- Now start your mobile phone by holding down the power button and the volume up button for at least a dozen seconds. You are now in Bootloader mode.
- Connect your mobile to the PC while ADB is open. Enter the command: fastboot flashing unlock
- The mobile will ask you for confirmation. Accept all by pressing volume up.
Now it's time to set up your mobile again, so enable Developer Options again and above all enable USB Debugging.

Return the mobile phone to Bootloader mode.
Now what you have to do is Flash (or write) TWRP inside the memory of the OnePlus 5. You can do it in different ways in ADB, generally the command is: fastboot flash recovery
Followed by the address and the name of the IMG file to write in your mobile.
You can quickly compose the address of the IMG file by dragging it into the window, or you can simply put it in a path that is very easy to write (For example C: twrp.img)
In the meantime, download SuperSU from here: https://download.chainfire.eu/1114/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip
Once the operation is complete, everything is ready to install the Root. Select the "Recovery" option from the Bootloader and you will be taken to TWRP.
Confirm TWRP notifications by swiping right. It's time to use ADB again at this point. Remember when you wrote the IMG file in your mobile phone? It is almost the same with SuperSU.
Write the command: adb sideload
Followed by the address of the SuperSU file. You can use the same methods as the IMG file. Do not confirm yet!
In TWRP, go to Advanced and look for the Sideload ADB option. Scroll to the right to confirm the operation, at which point confirm the command you wrote in ADB on your PC. If you notice the message "DONE!" you are done: the Root in your OnePlus 5 has been installed!
