What is rooting
Rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control(known as root access) over various Android subsystems. As Android uses the Linux kernel, rooting an Android device gives similar access to administrative (superuser) permissions as on Linux or any other Unix-like operating system such as FreeBSD or macOS.
Rooting is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices. Thus, rooting gives the ability (or permission) to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized applications ("apps") that require administrator-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user. On Android, rooting can also facilitate the complete removal and replacement of the device's operating system, usually with a more recent release of its current operating system.

So, let's get started with unlocking the bootloader of your Oneplus 6T;
- With OEM unlocking on and USB debugging activated, download and extract the Minimal ADB and fastboot tool.
You can equally use the ADB+Fastboot installer to install ADB on your Computer. In this case, it will create an "adb" folder on your C:\ drive at C:\adb.
- If you are using the Minimal ADB and fastboot, or ADB installed from ADB+Fastboot setup, open a new command window in the folder by pressing down the SHIFT key then Right-click on your Mouse.
- Reboot your device to bootloader mode using the ADB command below:

- Now, to get the unlock token, visit the Oneplus unlock service website and provide the IMEI of your device and the unlock code. When you login or signup, you should see something like the one below.

Here, we will have to first temporarily boot into TWRP recovery then install TWRP zip and Magisk zip to get the Oneplus 6T rooted.
You can rename the files as such:
- Magisk v17.3.zip file to magisk.zip
- TWRP-installer-3.2.3.0.zip file. to twrp.zip
TWRP-3.2.3-1-fajita.img file to twrp.img
Note that you are only changing the names, not the extensions!!
While in fastboot/bootloader mode, boot into temporal TWRP mode using the command below:

- ##code## Boot into temporal TWRP mode:
- fastboot boot twrp.img
- Your Oneplus will now boot into a temporal twrp mode. Slide to allow modifications, head to the install tab and locate the twrp.zip from your device storage and flash.
- After flashing the twrp.zip, you should now have a permanent TWRP installed.
- Reboot into recovery mode(twrp mode) and finally install the magisk.zip file to get your Oneplus 6T device rooted.
Once you have flashed the Magisk zip file in TWRP recovery, reboot and you should now see Magisk manager installed which will allow you to manage the root access on your device.
Rooting with Magisk gives you the possibility of selecting the Apps which you will like to have root access.
