For most flagship devices, getting root access can be as painful as it can be. But for the flagship killer of 2016, it is almost a painless treat. You can get root access on OnePlus by simple flashing the latest SuperSU zip from TWRP recovery.

And the best part of rooting OnePlus 2 is you don’t lose the warranty on your device when you root it. OnePlus mentions this proudly on its support page that “The technical process of rooting or unlocking the bootloader does not void the warranty on OnePlus”.

OnePlus 2 root process is similar to that of Nexus devices. You first unlock the bootloader of your device, install the TWRP recovery and then flash the SuperSU zip. We have separate guides for all these process, you can just follow them in the links below:

Step 1: Unlock the bootloader

Unlocking the bootloader on your OnePlus 2 will allow you to flash a custom recovery on your device via Fastboot, which we’ll need when we install TWRP recovery in next step.
