Earlier, it was quite an easy task to access this mode, but over the due course of time, it has become quite a challenge to successfully get an entry here. With that said, we will try to streamline this process and make you aware of numerous methods that should help you enable Engineer Mode on your OnePlus device.

Engineer Mode oneplus

We have listed four different methods through which you could carry out the said task. The first two are non-root methods whereas the rest two are the rooted methods. You may try out the one that is in sync with your requirement. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.

Method 1: Via ADB Shell

Out of the two non-root methods, this is a slightly technical one and requires a PC, but still, it should be your go-to choice as it doesn’t ask for your device’s IMEI number.

  1. To begin with, download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC.install adb platform tools windows
  2. Then enable USB Debugging on your device and connect it to the PC via USB cable.Enable Engineer Mode oneplus
  3. After that, head over to the platform-tools folder, type in CMD in its address bar, and hit Enter.
  4. This will launch the Command Prompt. Type in the below command to open the shell environment.

This is the easiest of the three methods but comes with an associated risk. This is a web-based method wherein you need to enter your device’s IMEI number. While the website has mentioned that they don’t store IMEI, however, there’s always an element of risk involved in using the device’s IMEI in such places. But the ultimate decision lies in your hands, so decide accordingly.

  1. Open the dialer and type in *#06#. This shall bring up the IMEI number. Long press on IMEI 1 and copy it.
  2. Then head over to the OnePlus Unlock Code Generator website.
  3. Select Unlock for 10 minutes, type in the IMEI in the space provided, and hit Convert.Enable Engineer Mode oneplus

  6. You will now be taken to Engineer Mode on your OnePlus device.

NOTE: If the above module didn’t work out then try out this Engineer Unlocker module and carry out the same steps as listed above.

Method 4: Via Root

For this process to work, you need to have administrative privileges as you will have to access the persist partition. So make sure that you have rooted your device via Magisk before proceeding ahead.

  2. Then tap on the hamburger menu situated at the top left and select the Root partition.
  3. It will ask for a SuperUser request, make sure to Allow/Grant it.
  4. Then go to the below location:
    /mnt/vendor/persist/engineermode/
  5. There you should find the engineermode_config file, open it via the text editor.
  6. It will have the following contents:
    encrypt_app=true
    encrypt_adb=true
    rc4_key=**********************
    imei=*******************
    last_download_time=***********
    encrypt_log=true
  7. Change the value of encrypt_app and encrypt_adb to False, i.e.
    encrypt_app=false
    encrypt_adb=false
    rc4_key=********************************
    imei=*******************
    last_download_time=*******************
    encrypt_log=true
  8. Now save the changes and restart your device.
