Will this procedure imply that the phone must be rooted at some point? Like while installing Magisk Manager? There is no mention on this page that rooting the phone would be required to complete this installation.
If rooting won’t be required, that should also be indicated specifically in these instructions.
Thanks.
This method can work on both Non-Rooted and Rooted OnePlus phones. Magisk Module can work on rooted phones. You can use “ADB command via computer” method if your phone is Non-Root.

what does it mean on rooted or non rooted phone?
Hi SL,
Non-rooted = Manufacturer locked, and you cannot make changes to the device at root level.
Rooted = Unlock the manufacturer lock, and do whatever you want, like I have installed Custom ROM LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10) on old device “Moto G4 Play” and you will also lose warranty.
No you will not, lol. Oneplus clearly stated that you will not loose your warentee unlocking your bootoder.
Hi the option with adb without joneplus for non-root is not working after rebooting the phone
yes its doing the same problem for me (oneplus 8 pro)
