Hello guys,
I have successfully rooted September update with the help of Flashfire. As there is no fastboot images released at the a time of writing this so I have to make use of dual slots of system. This can be adopted for future OTA's as well:
The process requires you to boot into ur previous slot. It mean that after you have updated you phone boots from updated slot but old slot is still there which can be rooted easily.
Now you have boot from old slot
Code:
fastboot set_active x
x means your old slot before update
Now u have to root this slot by flashing patched boot image.
After successful root use flashfire to backup your updated slot's boot and system , u can use any format I recommend use fastboot flashable.
Now you can use backed up boot to flash on updated slot and enable ever root while flashing.
Now you have rooted your updated slot .
Now you can boot into updated slot by using above code with 'x' being your updated slot identifire.
PS.
Stock September Boot
First boot might take long similar to flashing SuperSU via twrp ( it reboots after boot logo appears)
I used this https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5x/how-to/root-mia1-twrp-t3678453 to root my August build.

U can guess without rebooting in magisk manager, by boot image location
/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 --> means slot A
/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 --> means slot B
Also fast boot commands can be used for that

I guess slot A is August update and slot B is September update...
Reason: We had slot A activated by default so any new update (say September) will be installed in another slot (say B)...
I rebooted to slot A... opened Settings app -- About Phone -- It says August security patch...
Trying your method to root... Will reply back with the results...
thanks a lot bro
I said that bcz if someone flashes fastboot images , slot a is used for flashing by the provided falsh_all.bat file in stock image file.
Fastboot set _active a or b is not working.

Go to fastboot mode.Enter command in ur pc fastboot set active b or a (which will have old firmware)and boot it.Root your old slot containing august security patch using old cf root and install flashfire
in flashfire load the latest magusk or supersu (which you can download from google)(recovery flashable),select new slot and click flash.
Thats all you get your phone rooted with september security patch.

This doesn't work with Magisk, you get boot loops.
Incidentally, it looks like the developer of Magisk is looking for bootloop logs at https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589/page372
I bet if someone could get some Magisk bootloop logs he could get Magisk working on the A1.

I didn't state a word about magisk, bcz I tried that in August build itself when magisk 14.1 beta was released , it didn't boot so posted about that in magisk thread too, u can't get any logs if the phone restart from splash screen again and again that's bootloop, some kernels have ADB enabled by default in kernel that way we can have logs but it's not possible in stock boot patched by magisk.
Even flashing magisk from flashfire gives same result.
Help!!! Unable to update to September
Hi,
I'm on the August update and I have successfully rooted. But I am unable to install September OTA to update. Can you please advise?

If u happen to have a unmodified system partion , only flash stock boot.img through fastboot or flashfire (note to disable ever root)
If u have a modified system , them flash system.img from August update fastboot files with boot.img , I will suggest you to do this as you don't know if have modified the system or not (even remounting system bricks OTA). To do so
Code:
fastboot flash system_x system/image/location.img
fastboot flash boot_x boot/image/location.img
x means ur current active slot (a or b)
U can find stock files from miui.com downloads section
Anyine has normal boot.img for october update? or even modified?
any link to stock september boot image?

For how much time you have been in bootloop. Is bootanimation running.
I think after flashing root you have to wait for about 10 minutes before start of phone.
Otherwise do whatever op suggested.

By your guide, you mean, In fastboot active august slot, & boot it. root it using cf root method.
then load flashfire & flash supersu on slot september, then reboot.
Will the phone automatically boot the september slot, or do we have to go again in fastboot, & set active september slot ?

There are two methods

Thanks Maher for you tutorials and help. I was able to instal Global Firmware and update to August OTA. I then used this rooting guide and it worked great. You should link this rooting guide to the last step on the Global Firmware tutorial as optional for people who want to root.
Any root for September? My phone auto updated from August patch. Thanks for all the hard work!
P.S. When a new security patch is installed is it supposed to unroot your device and you have to re-apply one of the patches above to fix?

Bro, i am rooted with magisk via patched boot image. So to install OTA i need to restore stock boot image right? For that can i restore stock image by going to magisk->uninstall->restore images?

in order to uninstall magisk you need twrp and OTA not working with custom recovery so easier for you to flash the stock boot

I am think i did not made myself clear. I am not on twrp, still on stock recovery. I rooted via booting in patched boot image and installed magisk.
So as the official bootloader unlock broadened the audience of this from tinkerers/developers to basically everyone I thought this guide might me helpful for some...
PREREQUISITES:
- Unlocked bootloader (official or unofficial)
- latest magisk manager installed on phone (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases)
- latest fastboot and adb binaries from google(https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools)
- latest twrp.img to boot (NOT FLASH), zip not needed (https://eu.dl.twrp.me/NB1/)
- Fully stock partitions (if you do not have this reflash latest stock via ostla), as OTA updates will do a integrity check.
- PC with WIN/OSX/LINUX with USB port^^ (on windows you might have to add .exe to the commands)
- disable automatic system updates in developer options, as you will still have to manually root the updated partition, so this makes sure you don't miss it. You still get notifications on available updates and can apply them easily(as you will see)
SETUP_STEPS:
1. Go into Magisk manager and "just download" the latest zip
2.1 Run
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
or reboot into download/fastboot mode via other means
2.2 Run
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-NB1.img
(change this when your version of twrp differs)
2.3 Flash the .zip magisk downloaded in 1.)
2.4 Reboot.
Congratulations you now have root!
STEPS_TO_UPDATE:
1. Go into Magisk Manager -> Uninstall -> Restore Images
2. Apply Update, DO NOT REBOOT YET
3. When step to finished and it promts you to reboot go into Magisk Manager -> Install -> Install to inactive Slot
Congratulations you can now reboot and will have an updated Android while keeping full root.
ALTERNATIVE GUIDE (without twrp, using prerooted boot.img)
(works for newest patch level, where twrp isn't working yet)
this guide works on newest patches as long as someone provides a prerooted boot.img.
So basically you either need a boot.img available or twrp...
Hopefully this helps until TWRP is compatible with September Security Patch
LINKS:
stock boot.img: (may to october patches)
https://cloud.vault81.de/s/fnoizKwi8kNF3Rg
prerooted boot.img: (may to october patches)
https://cloud.vault81.de/s/AeHiE5HR2qonb3N
PREREQUISITES:
- same as above minus twrp
- patched/prerooted boot image (either create it yourself or use link provided here)
STEPS_TO_ROOT:
0.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
or get into download mode otherwise
1.
Code:
fastboot boot NB1_prerooted_boot.img
1.1. The phone will boot into an temporarily rooted state,
2. Use magisk manager-> Install -> "Direct Install" to persist the root.
3. Reboot
Congrats you now have root even on versions where twrp isn't working yet....
Edit1:
Added link to all stock boot images from may to october security
Edit2:
Did the same for magisk prerooted
Edit3:
Added November images thanks to @czupyt
TWRP isnt working right now so whoever updated to September patch cant do anything except unlock bootloader. Unless someone can pull a boot.img from the newest patch so we can all patch it through Magisk and get root.

Simple Solution: A/B Partition System.
One Slot is the September Update, the other is August Update.
Update to September, Unlock, witch to other Slot with August Update, Boot Offical TWRP 3.2.3-0 (-1 not booting tho).
Now you can Install the Install Zip for the August BL and Magisk.
Bootup and use Magisk for Inactive Slot.
So did I, but I'm still on August Slot, I'll try to root the September Boot Partiton, and Install TWRP later when Fix arrived.
But rooted September doens't seem very... Stable

I'm already about to install the September patch again. I downgraded to May so I could root my phone and provide the clean boot.img from the stock September so people can root without twrp. And honestly A/B partition is still new to me that I still don't understand it

A/B system is not Complex at all. It's just having 2x a Partiton Group (Boot, System, OEM and Recovery I think) and having the ability with Fatboot to simply switch between group A and group B.
You Inital Set up Partiton A (Nokia did for us with Nougat 7.1.1). If you Update, the Update will be extracted to Partition B, aftzer finishing you reboot to Partiton Group B, leaving group A untouched in Case of Error on Partition B.
That's it pretty much.

On what step? Was it after you completed the guide? Or did the patched image not boot already?
If the patched image worked but it din't afterwards, you should reflash the stock_boot.img and redo the guide again because you probably flashed twrp and broke your bootloader...
As you can see in the prerequisites this guide requires a stock bootloader to start.

So did the prerooted Image Boot?
If so it basically has to be your boot/system partition(I had mine compromised too and couldn't fix it with just flashing boot.img had to reflash everything via ostla)
If even the prerooted Image didnt boot im sorry i don't really know how to help, as I have working root with Magisk on September patch and the Image boots just fine for me....

Also you could Switch slots to revert back to august Patch and use the normal twrp guide then... And run the September Update via the magisk method

Hey everyone;
My Nokia TA-1004 is on the July SP (4.88B_SP02) with unlocked bootloader (unofficial method), TWRP and Magisk installed.
Where can I find a stock boot.img to flash? I tried flashing the boot.img on this thread and although I can boot fine my wifi will be broken (I tried and had to restore nandroid backup). I also tried following the guide here but my OSTLA won't get past "Flashing Service Bootloader".
Any help?

Flash the full Stock build (i think its even may patch), via ostla (https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...ia-8-official-firmware-links-updated-t3678487), then follow this guide then reapply all updates by following the update steps...
So which file do I have to download from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1t64iHuQQjmMnzcujZtjYplh6ipbiF6Cw ? I tried with the 488B one and got stuck on "flashing service bootloader"...

Just checked updates and new October security patch was found.
Captured OTA file:

Edit: Couldn't extract the payload.bin inside the archive. :-/
thanks for the info. do you know where i can see the changelogs?
Changelogs are usually never published. This patch looks like a plain security update due to its size of only 82mb.
Doublepost, sorry!

Ok, i think maybe is the version of the standard A2 (no lite).
There is indeed a security patch for the month of October. Havent updated yet. Its size is 82MB.
Yes just got updated. Magisk and xposed still intact and working perfectly.

did you just update without flashing the original boot.img from magisk?

Nope. I followed the steps on this guide [GUIDE] Install Magisk with proper support for OTA updates.
Is there chance to install it from adb?
It's just a security patch, yes. No bugfixes. Some bugs including the shutter lag is still there.

How could you follow the guide? For me it doesn't work. Magisk says "Stock backup does not exist"
Did you place a file manuelly? If yes where exactly?
The only way let magisk creating is a backup by flashing it with twrp, but i want to wait for official twrp first
update - i resolved my problem:
1. i flashed with fastboot the stock boot image of current running version 9.6.6 to the inactive slot, in my case "slot b" by cmd line:
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
2. i did run magisk - install to inactive slot -> magisk did backup stock image of inactive slot
3. after reboot i was able to use "uninstall - restore stock image" to do the ota update (like described in the guide)
Is it possible to do so?
I have magisk in the Oreo version of September. And I want to upgrade to October. And I thought about doing this:
Install official twrp.
Install original boot img. Current
Install OTA via Twrp.
Install boot patched img. Current
Install magisk via twrp.
And then reboot the phone.
Is it right?

No, because TWRP in A/B devices (like A2 Lite) is located in the boot image too. So doing the second step of your procedure will cancel the TWRP installed in the first step.

Thank you for this! Since Magisk removed the option for OTA install, I was forced to do it the harder way... But you my friend made it much easier on me ! Thank you!!
Sorry for newbie's question, what's the difference between the two files? one is stock and one is patched?
Yes. Stock has to be flashed to take next ota. And patched is for root on current rom. Since op9 now uses google ota if any partitions are modified including the boot image ,it will fail.

Mine still there as well. But I like to flash stock boot image back. Take ota. Then fastboot boot patched.img. Dump current boot image to sd through shell. Then direct install in magisk. I've seen many users have issues taking ota's using the other method. As in not even being able to boot or booting back into old build . So I prefer this way. Wanna avoid the msm tool and not loose data on device/have to factory reset.

Edit- I got it, I had to flash original images and then updates showed up. Thanks for posting these images.
Hi, thanks for posting the images. I assume global as in the US AA model since that is the only model with OTA from googles server right? The reason I was asking is I am on 11.0.4.4 and never received the notification for the update yet, but using oxygen updater, when I go in settings and check advanced mode, it shows a incremental update. My system under local file of course can't see it or will not show the update. I figured I could fastboot boot the stock image and then maybe it system could see the update, but when I try, the device just hangs on the fastboot screen(right before normally booting). I tried with my image and it booted. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

Aren't you supposed to flash 11.2.5.5 if you are on 11.2.5.5?
After that uninstall magisk, update ota and 3. and 4. ?

You are correct my friend. One needs stock untouched boot image to be able to take next update. If your on 11.2.5.5 you need that boot image to get ota to install correctly. This 11.2.6.6 img if for next round of updates. Here is 11.2.5.5 for anyone that might still be on older build.

UPDATED POST
Alternatively, you could:
1. Go to Magisk manager, and tap Uninstall to unroot. And then regular reboot.*
2. Download and install partial OTA, reboot and confirm update. Reboot to bootloader.
3. Fastboot boot patched boot img**
4. Go to Magisk Manager and direct install for permanent root.
5. Reboot and profit.
*this step presupposes that Magisk has a STOCK boot.img to restore for the unroot procedure. If it does not have that, you're obligated to use the process described in post #11.
**you could actually use a recent previous version of patched boot img (like patched 11244) if the update's patched boot img is still unavailable, and then use Magisk manager to patch the update with a direct install

So doing it this method backs up stock untouched current boot image and reflashes during uninstall of magisk to allow ota to go through.? Since the op9 uses google ota all partitions have to be stock including boot image. Or it fails
