updated OP with nov images
one report of nov 2019 update breaking google pay
The boot images are very helpful. Thanks!
I initially used the one patched for Magisk and was able to get root on the Nov release. Than I tried to install EdXposed Yahfa version (after installing Riru 19.5) and I got stuck in during boot at the "G logo" screen.
I was able to get back to a non-rooted system by reflashing the unpatched boot.img file. Now I need to figure out how to disable the Edxposed modules while staying on the November patch. The instructions for disabling Magisk modules seem written for a release earlier than Nov or they assume you have TWRP.
Any quick pointer on how to disable my Magisk modules on the November release?
if you can push the magisk uninstall zip to your device, then fastboot booting into twrp then flashing the magisk uninstall zip that should do the trick.

Thanks for the pointer. I wasn't sure if that Disabler would work with the November image.
I ended up reflashing the factory default and than reapplying the correct files. I now have GravityBox running on the Nov Image!
Up and running with OP's patched image and November "dirty" flash. Don't use G-pay so no report on that.
Edit - patched IMG after first boot shows magisk 19.5 installed, not 20.2 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OP updated to show 19.5.
Had the same issue and ran into the problem getting the modules disabled. Glad you were able to get it up and running.

i think doing a full uninstall of magisk (removes modules and settings) might be best until twrp or something else comes along...

Which version of Magisk did you use to patch the boot image? I tried using stable and canary to patch the stock boot image when I updated earlier, but each time it would just reboot straight to bootloader.
i patched with 20.2-72edbfc4 .
this thread might help. i havent updated yet. https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/help/december-update-rootable-t4013605

I've been following that thread and there doesn't really seem to be a definitive solution yet. What works for one person doesn't seem to work for anyone else (including me). I'll just live without root for the first time in about 9 years until the problem is figured out...

I read through this thread and the other thread you referenced, Has anyone tried topjohnwu's method: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tutorials.md ? I used with the November update and had no issues. It doesn't involve flashing patched image.
Is root working for anyone else on the Dec update? I just flashed it and Magisk detects that it's installed (20.2 so I'm guessing it's Canary as the latest stable/beta is 20.1) but no root apps work at all.

[UPDATE/KEEP ROOT GUIDE] OCT 2020 (RP1A.201005.004) "CORAL" Magisk/Stock Boot Images
PLEASE NOTE: I STILL HAVE NOT UPDATED TO ANDROID 11 YET, SO PLEASE FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK AS ASSISTANCE FROM ME WILL BE VERY LIMITED. PLEASE BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER AND HELP EACH OTHER OUT! AND SORRY FOR THE LATE POST. JUST GOT BACK FROM A LONG WEDDING WEEKEND, AND THE 8-HOUR DRIVE (EACH WAY) WITH A 9 MONTH OLD BABY WAS... QUITE AN ADVENTURE.
PLEASE DROP A THANKS IF YOU STILL FIND THESE GUIDES HELPFUL! :good:
IMPORTANT!! THESE FILES / THIS THREAD IS FOR PIXEL 4 XL "CORAL" ONLY, NOT PIXEL 4 "FLAME"!!
**IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO PATCH THE STOCK BOOT IMAGE YOURSELF, FROM YOUR OWN DEVICE, USING MAGISK MANAGER. WHILE THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THE FILE I PROVIDED BELOW WILL BE IDENTICAL (USE A FILE HASH CHECKSUM TOOL IF YOU'RE CURIOUS), THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE THEY MAY HAVE SMALL, BUT SIGNIFICANT, VARIANCES**

[SAFETYNET INFO]: Again, I'm not updating myself yet, so I'm not sure about this. I will update this info as others report back. On Android 10, using the MagiskHide Props Config module (or an alternate module created by Displax, though I prefer Didgeridoohan's module) and choosing option 2 - Force BASIC key attestation would force BASIC HW attestation and allow SafetyNet to pass again. This works perfectly for me, and I even run additional mods including EdXposed. I'm not sure if this works on Android 11, and I won't be able to confirm myself for a while. If anybody tries it, please let me know and I'll update this section. The module and info on using it can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...just search for it in the Magisk Manager app.

** You can only follow this guide verbatim if coming EXACTLY from build "11.0.0 (RP1A.200720.009, Sep 2020)". But the general idea is the same for other builds, you just need the correct files for your device.

October 2020 sideload OTA zip: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/coral-ota-rp1a.201005.004-5e85d0f7.zip
DO NOT BOOT BACK INTO O/S UNTIL ALL STEPS ARE COMPLETED - THIS ENSURES EVERYTHING BOOTS BACK UP WITH MAGISK / EDXPOSED ALL RUNNING PROPERLY RIGHT AWAY
1. boot into bootloader
----------------
** I was on custom kernel, so I needed to flash BOTH the stock boot and dtbo images
2. fastboot flash boot coral-rp1a.200720.009-factory-boot.img
3. fastboot flash dtbo coral-rp1a.200720.009-factory-dtbo.img
......* these steps to restore stock recovery; dtbo.img also necessary for some kernel installations.
......* won't hurt to flash both anyway, so if you're unsure, go ahead and do both.
-----------------
4. use volume keys to change selection to boot to Recovery Mode
......- when you reach the android symbol with No Command, hold power button, tap volume up, in case you've forgotten
5. choose option "Apply update from ADB"
6. adb sideload coral-ota-rp1a.201005.004-5e85d0f7.zip
7. Once the OTA sideload is done, Reboot to bootloader (you'll also notice it's now on the other slot after OTA flashed)
8. fastboot flash boot coral-rp1a.201005.004-magisk_patched-21.0.img
9. done, start the phone
(Optional - Flash custom kernel. If you had a custom kernel, you need to re-flash it)
This is a 100% seamless update that requires no additional / re-setup of any of my Magisk or EdXposed setups. All of the factory files can be found here https://developers.google.com/android/images. boot.img and dtbo.img are in their corresponding full Factory Image zips, and the ota zip is under Full OTA Images.
Issues after updating?
If you end up unable to boot or bootlooping afterwards, you most likely have an old Magisk module that isn't playing nice with the new build. There are 2 main things you can do:
1. Flash the new factory untouched boot image. You will of course lose root, and all modules will be disabled. However, it should at least get you able to boot back up quickly and have a working phone if you're in a bind.
2. I would recommend checking Tulsadiver's thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-4-xl/how-to/magisk-modules-disabler-booting-magisk-t3990557
Instead of reverting to stock boot image, fastboot boot (NOT FLASH) Tulsadiver's boot image. This will boot your phone in Magisk Core-Only Mode, with all modules disabled but root retained. From here you can open Magisk Manager and disable suspect modules. Before rebooting, go to Magisk Manager's settings and disable Magisk Core-Only Mode. Once you disable the incompatible module, the phone should boot back up.

I just want to reemphasize once again - I have not yet updated to Android 11, so I haven't been able to personally test any of these newer builds. Any feedback would be appreciated. And of course, be kind to one another and help each other out if you have any issues!
Finally, I need to mention again that the Magisk v21.0 boot image I created for the Oct. 2020 build came out to 64mb (and not the usual 30~something mb), which makes me feel a little wary. I would really appreciate feedback if my pre-patched boot image works. (edit: I just tested with patching my current Aug. 2020 boot image with Magisk v21.0 and it also came out to 64mb and successfully flashed perfectly fine, so hopefully my pre-patched Oct. 2020 image should also be fine.)
Thanks!

It is safe to update to Android 11 and do a clean install by wiping data (so keep the "-w" in the flash-all.bat file), let the phone reboot into Android 11, setup phone and let it install your previous apps, etc.
Afterwards, install MM 8.01, change settings to beta build, patch boot image AND REBOOT THE PHONE. After rebooting, copy the magisk_patched image file to your adb (it should be 64 MB in size) folder. Proceed with using flashing the patched boot image.
I just updated to October's factory image a few minutes ago and success.

I'm actually holding off because I'm waiting for a few mods to be compatible with 11, particularly GravityBox. Also, the purpose of my guides are to update without the need to wipe data / flash full clean factory image / seamlessly update with absolutely no additional setup. I know people say it's not so bad these days to set up from scratch, but for me it's still definitely a "ain't nobody got time fo dat" situation. =)
Thanks anyway though.

I didn't use your file. What I do is download the full firmware, remove -w and flash, then boot into TWRP and flash the Magisk zip. For some reason this October Update, it wouldn't decrypt my data when booting into TWRP so I patched the boot.img myself. I wanted to let you know that mine also came out to 64mb and after I flashed it to the boot partition, it worked perfectly. So I can "sorta" confirm that it should work.

Seamless update is worth so much. Setting up a phone when its your daily driver is just so much work. No banking pin app will work, you have to set up messangers again, alot of apps will barely work (even with backup services like swift backup or titan) and some apps can't even be backuped at all and will create errors when loading backups.
@i5lee8bit, I just followed your tutorial to successfully upgrade the October patch with the files you provided. Everything is okay. Thanks a lot for your enthusiastic sharing.

I still haven't bothered with TWRP since the HTC U12+ days, and I actually found that I prefer it that way. Pretty sure TWRP needs to be updated for each (or at least most) monthly update btw. But thanks for the info, looks like 64mb is now the normal way Magisk outputs the patched boot image.

Yeah, I only backup/restore certain apps (data or apps not on app store) when switching phones because there are always those little glitchy problems and what not if relying on TiBu / Swift too much. I'll use the built in backup/restore for certain apps (like Nova), but other than that when doing a clean install, while Android has better built in features to make it easier to migrate compared to a few years ago, it is still a major PITA.

Silly Question Maybe
guys its been a while so pls have patience with my ignorance. I have Xfinity Pixel 4xl and need to use it on T-mobile. Under Developer options,. OEM Unlocking is greyed out and it does not allow me to modify. Am i screwed ?
I tried updating and I can't figure out why it is not working...
Upon boot, I am still on Sept patch with root.
Then eventually it tells me that an update is available to be installed and to reboot to finish.
When I reboot, it says that there was an error.
Magisk no longer has "install after OTA" option. Anyone have any ideas?

Sorry about the late response, but maybe this info might help (it's a post I made on slickdeals.net regarding b/l unlocking the P4 series): https://slickdeals.net/f/14385296-x...e-399-free-shipping?p=140865899#post140865899
Also important to note, there is a difference between SIM unlocking (so you can use with T-Mobile) and oem/BL unlocking (so you can modify / root the phone).
tl;dr on my slickdeals post: SIM unlock status controls the oem (bootloader) unlock toggle status. Verizon is known to be the only variant where they fully prevent BL unlocking. XMo is an MVNO off of Verizon. Nobody has reported yet whether it can be done on XMo variants even after SIM unlocking. So you might be screwed.

Did you follow the OP / 2nd post exactly? And made sure you're sideloading the correct, Oct 2020 ota zip? Should work fine with the given instructions and links. Make sure you downloaded (or just redownload) all the correct files.
Tbh it sounds like you're just reinstalling the Sept update and boot files.

I do... not sure if there's a separate thread as this is for the October update.
Side note, I apparently can no longer BOOT to TWRP to flash the Magisk Zip as even the TWRP Coral Beta doesn't decrypt Android 11. So, looks like I'm stuck manually patching the Boot and flashing via bootloader.
So i accidentally updated my pixel firmware via official OTA update (security patch 5. january 2021). First i was scared of a bootloop but it all went fine and booted.
Of course my root is gone now, but i want to root it again. Bootloader is still unlocked. Does anyone know, if i can just flash the magist boot.img again and it will boot fine? Or is there a risk that maybe THIS will cause a bootloop?
Thanks!

No you don't. You only have to repatch the new boot image when a new major Android revision comes out. For example going from Android 11 to 12. I've updated my Pixel 5 every month a new update comes out. And I've always used the same boot.image file. No need to keep wasting your time patching that file. When you look through the OTA files you'll notice that none of those files in the zip file are a boot.image file. Meaning it doesn't touch it when it's doing the OTA.

That is kind of useful, thank you for sharing. Can someone confirm this?
@hanni2301 Have you succeeded in getting root back ? I got the same problem today....
Why do you ask me?
I always patch the actual boot.img out of the monthly factory image with magisk (beta or Canary) first and flash then the factory image, reboot, flash boot boot.img and afterwards the custom kernel.
@xT29c said that you can reuse ure patched boot.img from last month, as it changes only between different mayor Versions.
So you can save some time, but the process is still the same.
IMO, yes, you should always patch the new boot.img from each months new factory image in Magisk when re-rooting.
Do you need to? i suppose that's up to you. However I think you should want to.
Essentially, you're missing out on any code changes/fixes, etc that Google may have added to the new months kernel.
~ Maybe an idea for a new thread to upload the Pixel 5 stock boot.img from each months new OTA, along with a Magisk patched boot.img. ~

get v22
New v22.0 update merges Magisk and Magisk Manager app
Samsung's Galaxy S21 series is now supported too
www.androidpolice.com
I previously had Magisk installed and rooted my 8T with Build 11.6.5.KB05AA. I followed some instructions on how to install an OTA update. I uninstalled Magisk and ran the OTA update. The instructions advise me to install Magisk on the inactive slot. However, I do not have this option. Instead, I only have Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verify and Recovery Mode. I don't have TWRP installed so I don't think this will work. I've tried selecting Preserve and not selecting Preserve and selecting Next in Magisk. My next option is to "select and patch a file". I downloaded the bin for 11.0.6.8 and extracted it using payload_dumper and Python and copied it to my phone. However, whenever I try to patch it, Magisk states installation failed.
So, I figured I would finish the install of 11.0.6.8 and rebooted the phone using the update installation reboot button. I figured I'd just start from scratch and root following the original root instructions. My bootloader is already unlocked. I copied the boot.img from 11.0.6.8 to my phone and tried to patch using Magisk (again, I only have the options above). Again, it failed.
What am I doing wrong? Why won't Magisk patch the boot.img file? Shouldn't it work like an original attempt to root it?
Thanks.

I previously had Magisk installed and rooted my 8T with Build 11.6.5.KB05AA. I followed some instructions on how to install an OTA update. I uninstalled Magisk and ran the OTA update. The instructions advise me to install Magisk on the inactive slot. However, I do not have this option. Instead, I only have Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verify and Recovery Mode.

Make sure you download the latest canary magisk manager. It sound like you might be on an older magisk version.

I seem to have the Canary Update channel set already (I thought it was set to Stable, but I guess not). Doesn't that mean I already have the latest Canary build? Manager shows that latest is 6951d926 (21402) (16) but Installed shows 658d74e0 (21402) (16). I assume this means they are different? Install doesn't seem to update it. Maybe grab the latest APK from Github? Thanks.
Later: Can I install it on my phone by download Magisk v21.4 zip and changing extension to APK and installing it? I thought I read everything is now in the zip/apk? Thanks.
FINAL UPDATE: OK, I downloaded the latest MagiskManager, not the one from Canary. I was then able to patch the boot file. The phone rebooted, but it's not working just right yet. None of my icons show up on my home screen, although if I press the recent apps list, it shows a bunch of apps, although selecting one doesn't do anything. I might have to put the original boot image back on just to get it to boot and worry about rooting later. Sigh. It's always something.

In the latest canary apk released today he moved over to that the apk bundle magisk as well and don't need to download it anymore but it shouldn't matter for this case. There is no working custom recovery for Oneplus 8T right now. But if there was and it was updated you would be able to flash the apk.
You did not have to uninstall Magisk. When you would complete the OTA, instead of rebooting you should go into Magisk and select install to inactive slot. As you uninstalled magisk, you're not getting this option. Uninstalling magisk is different from disabling the modules.
Now you need to root it again using the same method given in other thread. Rooting 11.0.6.8 is no different from the rooting process for previous OOS versions.

I was able to patch the new boot image and flashed it but when I rebooted nothing worked quite right. None of my apps would run. I could get into settings but couldn't get out of it. I flashed the unrooted boot image and am able to use the phone. I'll try again tomorrow.
The instructions I followed said to uninstall Magisk first. Now wish I hadn't. I suppose worse comes to worse I can figure out how to reinstall 6.5 cause I was able to root that. Thanks for the reply.

I was looking at a different guide, but will try the one you recommend. I'm aware there is no TWRP for the 8T. I did use that method for my prior OP6. I did patch and flash the patched boot image, but none of my apps appeared on my home page so I flashed the unrooted boot image so I could at least use the phone. Thanks.

The instructions definitely lied to you...
Now:
1. Take the 11.0.6.8 boot image
2. Patch it with magisk (latest beta is fine, you don't need alpha anymore)
3. Boot the patched image
4. Install magisk manager in case it's not installed
5. Check it for root, if all is fine do install --> direct install
6. Reboot

When you say Boot the patched image, I assume you mean fastboot flash it to the device?
I tried updating Magisk using a beta channel, but then manager wouldn't work at all. I just wouldn't run. So I reinstalled Manager 8.0.7 from the APK I downloaded and now I don't have Canary as an update channel. I keep alternative between having a Magisk icon and a separate manager icon. Weird. I'm trying to only wind up with latest manager installed so I can re-root the phone. Thanks.
LATER: Success! I followed the steps here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-oneplus-8t-easy-root-for-all-unlocked-variants.4210775/. And everything worked (which was linked in a prior message). Thanks to all!

I figured out that's what you meant when I followed the instructions linked in another message. I had never booted that way previously. Thanks!
I am about to root my 8t using the guide someone linked above. My question is.. I'm on ver. 11.0.5.6.KB05AA will I still be able to root if I update or will it take away the ability to root.. also, will it affect the quality of the root ? Thanks in Advance.
Hi,
I tried to patch the newest stock image 11.0.0 (RQ3A.210705.001, Jul 2021) with Magisk 23.0. Patching of boot.img looks ok, at least it does not complain. Then I flashed the patched image (or booted from it directly, to test).
The boot works, but Magisk does not detect any installation. It wants to install the full app, and then displays "Install n/a".
Did Google change anything which breaks Magisk? If so, is there a safe way to downgrade the phone without loosing data?
Best Regards
So I'm running a Pixel 5 currently, but it sounds like after booting to your patched image, you just need to go grab the Canary version of Magisk from the official GitHub: Magisk 23 Official GitHub.
I've had this happen too after flashing the patched boot image and rebooting back to homescreen.
If you don't install the apk separately it'll try to install Magisk on it's own, but doesn't usually have success in doing so, at least in my experience. So just download the APK from the official GitHub or try the Canary version of Magisk 23. After installing the APK you should be good to go!
If I'm not mistaken, you can grab the APK there or try the "stub-release.apk" for a direct "Canary" version.
The reason I mention the Canary version is because it's like an updated beta, but I've had a lot of success running it myself (Pixel 2XL and Pixel 5).

The July release works fine with Magisk. Did you have Magisk installed before updating to the July release? If so, did you hide the Magisk app? In that case, you'll have to unhide the app, remove both instances, and reinstall.
If that is not the case, just complete the install as @ProjectAlly said. There is no need to use Canary, though. Currently Canary and Stable are the same.
