You can use this recovery, when you're on Oreo: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/preliminary-twrp-3-1-1-0-mate-9-emui-8-t3687622
Then this SuperSU: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579485056
There's no Magisk yet.

I've yet to try decrypting oreo, but you should be able to modify the updater-script in both public and HW zips, and remove the command mountcrypt and the last that should normally install update.app.
So unzip, edit, zip. It should work if it's just the Huawei commands that are making it reboot.

i just installed oreo again,tried to decrypt data:
1.flashed oreo
2.boot,factory reset with erasing data.
3.unlock BL
4.flashed TWRP
5.format data
6.reboot recovery,data was decrypted.
7.install SuperSu with the file u gave me in this thread.
8.flashed modified public and hw,( i had to remove verify files(verify script and verify script_data) which they contain mountencrypt ("data") command. ).(Hw ended up with error 9 but everything seems to be okay)
9.reboot
but when i boot in TWRP between first boot loop after installing SuperSu,data was encrypted.

Not possible with twrp
erase require [must with fastboot only]
Code:
fastboot format userdata

It should be possible. I don't think SuperSU changes/removes everything it needs to though, as we now seem to have 3 different fstab rather than 1. It should be possible to modify the AVB script to remove fileencryptioninline.

Much has changed since I posted that
Use this TWRP: https://mega.nz/#!4DYngAxL!OJEgQ4a4cSTypHgRBbMQbok2BRDuVHSDXNktAJ_PnKQ (flash to recovery_ramdisk)
With official Magisk v16 : http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
I don't think SuperSU will get more updates tbh, and I haven't tested it lately. I do know that Magisk works on AOSP

Magisk + xposed on nougat

Does systemless xposed work on nougat? If so, please provide the links.

Completely uninstall SuperSU, flash through TWRP the unsu.zip available here on XDA thanks to osm0sis, and then flash Magisk.

Of course they works. Every module works, but not GravityBox. It can't work on an heavy Android modification like EMUI as far as I know, so unless that there's a way to make it work while on SuperSU, it isn't possible to use it on EMUI (as stated in module description on Xposed repo).

Your boot.img looks already patched by a superuser app... You didn't uninstalled SuperSU in the right way, or you're trying to flash Magisk over SuperSU. As suggested in the log, restore stock boot.img of your firmware before trying to flash Magisk, else it won't work. (Plus, try to flash latest version, V15.3, other than 13)

I've already told you how to remove supersu in the previous page dude, you need to read, not going blind.
The boot.img isn't a common file equal in every firmware, it differs by build number, region, version... begin with writing here your actual build number for extended, and I'll look for the relative boot.img (if it's available here on XDA).

[stupid question] OTA update when on magisk and xposed?

Hello XDA!
It's been a while since I did 'modding' on phones, I think I started with the OP1 back in 2014 but have not really been keeping up ever since. I am now on 5.1.5 and running official OOS with magisk and xposed for gravitybox.. Can I just disable magisk and xposed, do the OTA update and then re-enable or do I have to uninstall them fully? Or can I just do the OTA right now?
Sorry for what might be a really obvious answer.
Thank you!

You can do the OTA but if you want magisk (and then xposed systemless) i suggest you to install TWRP after update and you need in all cases to re-do root process

Ahh I see. Because xposed is now systemless it doesn't matter if I leave it enabled right? Is the new official TWRP without any dangerous bugs?
Thanks for your swift reply!!

maybe to help you all
me: 5.1.5, unlocked bootloader, unofficial TWRP from thread by wuxianlin, magisk 16.4
my procedure was to change to official twrp which can be done easily by
downloading the twrp installer from official site, put to internal storage
flash twrp official installer
still in recovery, select reboot: recovery
flash magisk
boot system
now download full 5.1.6 signed flashable zip
recovery: flash 5.1.6
reflash recovery
reboot recovery
flash magisk
boot system
now you have rooted 5.1.6 with official twrp and magisk, no wipe needed

oneplus6 ha a/b partition. so if you installed magisk 16.4 already. just OTA. when it's done don't reboot yet. enter magisk manager, choose install on the second partition. reboot.

TWRP official has no bug, the only thing i don't know is if backup/restore is working fine, if you install ota via TWRP and then flash (without reboot) twrp.zip and magisk, after reboot you'll find out that system is exactly the same it was before updating

The only thing u need to disable before updates are overlays through substratum, I also remove any security like finger prints, face unlock and pin or patterns too just in case. Once u flash update u will have to reflash magisk and xposed too

[GUIDE] How to flash Android 10 with working TWRP and Magisk

Hello guys,
i saw there some questions about TWRP and android 10. So far you cant boot TWRP on android 10. It doesnt matter Q BETA DP4, 5 or OB1.
Mauronofrio is already informed about that. There is some work needed to fix that.
But there is a way to flash TWRP with Magisk! I already posted that a few times in TWRP thread and opened this thread now. So it's easier to find it.
You will need to have magisk on your phone to do this!
UPDATING FROM ANDROID 9:
1. Install Android 10 trough local Updater AND DONT REBOOT HERE
2. Flash TWRP trough Magisk
3. Install magisk to inaktiv Slot (after OTA)
4. REBOOT NOW
With OB1 it also works the usual way:
1. Boot into TWRP and Flash OB1
2. Flash TWRP Installer.zip
3 Reboot directly into recovery
4. Flash Magisk and reboot system
COMING WITH ANDROID 10 NON ROOT:
1. Extract the boot.img of payload.bin inside the update.zip (use this tool for it LINK <--- thanks @tidschi)
2. Patch the boot.img with Magisk
3. Flash it with fastboot and reboot
4. Flash TWRP with magisk
5. Install Magisk and reboot
COMING WITH ANDROID 10 AND ROOT:
1. Flash TWRP with magisk
2. Install magisk and reboot
Thanks @tidschi for correcting me (patching boot.img) and screenshot

No, just patch boot.img from OB1 with Magisk.
Afterwards flash patched boot.img with fastboot and after that you can flash TWRP with Magisk.

Everyone can extract stock boot.img from payload file with this tool:

Then simple flash the extracted boot.img with Magisk and flash with fastboot.

You need to extract with payload dumper the boot.img from payload.bin from ROM ZIP file.

I am rooted and TWRP is installed, latest Pie Update. Can't I just download the Android 10 OB1 and flash this in TWRP? Afterwards, flash TWRP Zip and Magisk to preserve all this?

No you need to update from settings in OOS.
Then go to Magisk and install to inactive slot and reboot.
If you want to have TWRP again, install as Module with Magisk after reboot.

4. Flash open beta
5. Flash TWRP Installer
6. Reboot recovery
7. Flash Magisk

You can't boot into TWRP with Android 10 for now.

I know, but I am still on Pie. Will do this to update to OB1. Then I hope a new TWRP will be released soon
Edit: Worked like a charm. Can also still boot into TWRP recovery.

So finally I am rooted, so than I have to go to fastboot and flash twrp img? And then flash magisk in twrp?
EDIT: That doesn´t work, IDK how to install twrp without fastboot

TWRP on Android 10

After recently bricking my Oneplus 6 by trying to flash the latest TWRP on the latest Android 10 OTA from Oxygen Updater, I found a post from official TWRP explaining how root with a10 will take a while to implement due to changes that Google has made to their partitions.
So I guess for anyone trying this out on their own, be warned. You will probably end up bricking your device like I did and will probably end up having a bad time.
Please correct me if i'm wrong though, peace!
Edit: can confirm fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-11-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img from the other popular post is working!

If you already have a working TWRP on OOS 9 you should be fine as long as you flash a working TWRP afterwards. Blu_spark TWRP 9.101 is compatible (please not 9.101 no earlier version will work).
Also don't use Magisk 20 only 20.1.
There is already a pre-patched version out there. You can fastboot flash it (as fastboot boot doesn't work). An easier way (without a pre-patched version) is currently being worked one as you pointed out already

just updated to a10
boot into twrp, flash new bluspark twrp
flash FULL ota a10 image
reflash twrp
reboot into twrp
boot into system
boot back to twrp
install magisk 20.1

Which build did u use mate? R108 is not working with android 9, I tried flashing it using my older installed twrp.
It says unsupported android version. And in github r108 says only for android 10.

r108 is the kernel not twrp

I can confirm that this is working for me. I successfully upgraded from Android 9, Oxygen OS 9.0.9 to Android 10, Oxygen OS 10. Steps that I followed :
1) Flashed new twrp from link in the above post by akri1337 using my previously installed twrp : bluspark 9.85.
2) Flashed Oxygen OS 10 full update and added to queue latest bluspark twrp which I flashed in step one as it would be overwritten by flashing the full OTA update.
3) Rebooted into recovery again to switch to active slot.
4) Flashed Magisk 20.2 to regain root.
This process successfully upgraded my Oneplus 6 without any data loss.
Please note that I disabled all magisk modules just to be safe before starting the upgrade process but didn't uninstall magisk. I was on Magisk 20.2 earlier.
Hope this helps everyone.

Which magisk? Ver 20.1 ?

Why is it that I get an error when trying to flash the full OTA update using TWRP? Something about error 7 and not have a digest file. Is there a full OTA update file that everyone is using? I tried the signed full zip from here on XDA and the one from Oxygen Updater. I get the same error with both.

I tried the signed full zip from here on XDA and the one from Oxygen Updater. I get the same error with both.

Still confused as to how everyone else can flash these zip files through TWRP and I cannot.
I'm currently Magisk rooted and have TWRP installed. Will I lose root and TWRP when updating through the local upgrade method?

Yes, you will need to flash twrp with adb and going through the hole process of installing twrp and magisk, but for me its not worked well, after first boot to Android Q with magisk 20.1 and granting some apps root access when I rebooted the phone its not booting to system and going to bootloader, I think its related to some problem with magisk 20.1.
