Gain adb root.

$ adb shell am start -n com.android.engineeringmode/.qualcomm.DiagEnabled --es "code" "angela"

Download Magisk-v14.0 and extract it somewhere. Download MagiskManager.

Now, open a shell (adb shell).

OnePlus5:/ # mkdir /data/magisk
OnePlus5:/ #

Push the required file to the device:

adb push {arm64/*,common/*} /data/magisk/
arm64/magisk: 1 file pushed. 6.7 MB/s (192736 bytes in 0.027s)

adb push busybox-armv6l/system/xbin/busybox /data/magisk/

Install MagiskManager:

adb install ../MagiskManager-v5.4.0.apk

Back on the ADB shell (adb shell):

OnePlus5:/ # cd /data/magisk/
OnePlus5:/data/magisk # ls
boot_patch.sh busybox init.magisk.rc magisk magisk.apk magiskboot util_functions.sh
OnePlus5:/data/magisk # ./magisk --createimg magisk.img 64

OnePlus5:/data/magisk # magisk --post-fs
OnePlus5:/data/magisk # magisk --post-fs-data
OnePlus5:/data/magisk # magisk  --service

That's it, your phone is now rooted and Magisk modules should work too. After a reboot you'll need to repeat the last steps:

$ adb shell
OnePlus5:/ # cd /data/magisk/
OnePlus5:/data/magisk # ./magisk --mountimg xbin.img /system/xbin
/dev/block/loop0
OnePlus5:/data/magisk # magisk --post-fs
OnePlus5:/data/magisk # magisk --post-fs-data
OnePlus5:/data/magisk # magisk  --service

I might have fucked up. I used the magisk built in auto update. And now my OP3T doesn't recognize my pin when I rebooted the Phone.
What are my options?

I was able to recover using recovery and adb sideload to put in the original ROM. And all my settings remained :-)

There is a 15.2 release fixing issues for oneplus5: https://www.xda-developers.com/magisk-v15-2-oneplus-samsung-devices/
Any idea how to install it?

adb noob here :-( this is killing me! When I enter the first push command I get this:

C:\Android>adb shell
root@OnePlus2:/ # adb push {arm64/,common/} /data/magisk/
adb push {arm64/,common/} /data/magisk/
/system/bin/sh: adb: not found

Please help. I download Download Magisk-v14.0 and extracted it in the c:/android/ folder from where I run adb

is there anyway to unroot after using this method?

Does this method still work? I have my OPO with the stock rom and updated. I don't see EngineerMode app so I guess it doesn't work.
Should I install an outdated rom for this to work? One that still has EnginnerMode apk?

In seams that with the stable release that is not working anymore. Either they have removed it, or changed the password :(

Hello, do you think this is working on other OnePlus devices ? Like OnePlus 7 pro ? Open beta does matter ?
