OnePlus has always allowed third-party developers to implement different unofficial tasks on their handsets. The company themselves encourage their users to root Android phone. On their official website, they have posted a complete guide to unlock bootloader and install TWRP recovery. Hence, OnePlus devices are the best choice when it comes to experiencing the unofficial world.
There are many advantages as well as disadvantages of rooting an Android phone. You can take Nandroid backup and restore, remove and completely uninstall bloatware, install the latest Android updates, flash custom ROMs, mods, kernels, overclock and underclock, etc. If these aren’t enough reasons to root your mobile, then I don’t know what is.

But don’t worry as you can re-gain it back by unrooting your Android phone. Are you ready to root OnePlus 8 without a PC? If yes, then proceed ahead to our actual article given below.
