Not yet. Better wait for a couple of updates from Samsung & then try to root. I would recommend Magisk for rooting.

man i need a working root i... tried by twrp by install the root latest version so now i am flashing a stock firmware hhhhhh ....will magist work 100 percent ?? i need the full confidence answer thanks a lot

lI also just updated, I tried using CF Auto Root but that didn't work and made my phone bricked (verification failed). Will Magisk work certainly because I don't want to have to reset again.

Get your device back to a fully stock state and then start fresh by installing TWRP. Next, I would suggest making a backup of your stock ROM in TWRP just in case something goes wrong and you need to restore your boot image. Then, I would attempt to root your device with an older version of Magisk, like V12.0, and see what happens. If you have root, great, if not, restore your stock boot image and flash the next newest version of Magisk. That would be my starting point. Good luck and happy flashing!

I have some questions.
1. Do you need the specific Magisk file for your device or does Magisk work for all devices regardless of the variant?
2. Do you know where to get Magisk 12.0?

Magisk works on almost all variants. The will need to flash the Magisk zip and then install the Magisk Manager apk.
Here is the link to the Magisk main thread. If you scroll down the the bottom of the OP, you will see the download link for the Magisk zip files. Also the Magisk Manager apk's are available in this thread too. If you need any help just ask.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Before you flash any root zip in TWRP, make a backup of your stock boot image. That was ifsomething goes wrong you can revert back and try again with a different version if Magisk.
Make sure you read the info that @topjonwu has made available for us for Magisk. The link below is full of information pertaining to Magisk.
There is one other thing that I forgot to put here. Magisk is a pretty universal root solution that patches the boot image just like Chainfire's SuperSU. There is not a device specific Magisk zip so you can flash any version if Magisk to attempt to gain root access in your device. Like I said before, I would start with flashing V12.0 and start from there. If V12.0 works and you have root, boot to TWRP and make a backup of your boot image to save it. That was if you flash, for instance, V13.0 and it doesn't work or fails to flash then you can boot back to recovery and restore your boot image and have working root.

Magisk can hide knox counter... using working twrp for Nougat... format data.. install magisk v14 & done. The only problem now, twrp cant read external storage, so cant flash anything thru sdcard, need to use OTG instead.

Magisk Root without TWRP for OnePlus 6 Oxygen OS Android 10 Open Beta 5 | OOS 10.3.1

Latest TWRP doesn't support Android Pie 9.0 for OnePlus 6, or at least for me it didn't.
So, I've made a Magisk patched boot image for Android P that we can flash it in fastboot bootloader.
Note: This is not Oxygen OS ROM, this is just a patched boot img for Oxygen OS to make root work. You need to unlock the bootloader before proceeding with anything.
Note 2: Please disable Magisk modules in the Magisk Manager before flashing the patched boot, because some modules might not support the latest OOS and your device will bootloop. If the modules has been updated by the devs to support the latest OOS you can install the modules after that.
Note 3: Sorry guys, I haven't tested the Android Q Developer Previews. Even though Magisk is supported on Q, please flash it at your own risk.
For older versions download from here: Google Drive
Folder updated with Stock boot images as well.
OOS 10 Open Beta 5 Patched Boot
OOS 10 Open Beta 5 Stock Boot
OOS 10.3.1 Patched Boot
OOS 10.3.1 Stock Boot
Flashing instructions:
Code:
fastboot boot (patched_boot_filename_here).img
or
fastboot flash boot (patched_boot_filename_here).img
Thanks @vlaf
reboot to system (if you make another reboot the root won't stick, so continue with the following steps)
Open Magisk (in settings select beta channel) and click install and install Magisk again with Direct Install (recommended)
reboot again and the root will stick even after the reboot.
The thread I followed for the instructions is here. Thanks for @b1czu
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-magisk-root-oos-5-1-5-t3794440
Even easier way to root without TWRP:
1. Install OTA update (Don't reboot).
2. Open Magisk Manager, install Magisk and choose "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)" (Now reboot).
3. Now you are rooted without TWRP and without any boot img hassles as well.

wow dude that's useful. I don't need TWRP that bad but I need root to use Titanium backups.
Thanks man！

Not work here. Bootloop, only see Bootanimation not more.

Did you try hiding Pokemon Go in Magisk hide? Because the latest update addressed the Pokemon Go issue as far as I know.

Easy way to install twrp is to fastboot boot twrp. From there, you must turn on adb sideload and push twrp to phone because it will not decrypt storage. After install, reboot to recover and it will ask for password to decrypt. Then just flash magisk to have root with working twrp. Also, you have to use twrp 3.2.2 or it will crash.

The first one, ctsProfile, fails. But the second one basicintegrity passes. I believe the only app I use that checks safetynet is PokemonGo and that works for me.

Improved HDR mode

Any thoughts about the improved HDR mode? Didn't receive the update yet (Germany) but would be nice if someone could do before/after photos.

I also get that update.
If i download it.. can i just not update right away?
because i want to manually update from twrp and re root with magisk.
Thanks in advance

Root users beware: issues with newer TWRP version!
This article only applies to users running TWRP recovery on a rooted device. Don't have TWRP or don't know what this means? You're probably fine.
If you've recently installed or updated TWRP recovery, you might have faced that you can't install anything with it, and that the start screen is immediately shown when updating your device via Oxygen Updater.
Why is this happening to me?
From what it seems, this issue is caused by TWRP versions 3.2.2-0 and 3.2.3-0 being incompatible with the storage encryption technology present on OnePlus devices.
Normally, you're asked to enter your PIN or unlock pattern before installing an update / flashing something yourself. However, these new TWRP versions don't prompt for it anymore. Therefore, accessing the storage space of your device is no longer possible.
This is really frustrating, as almost all of your updates / .zip files are stored there. But luckily, there is a solution:
How do I fix this issue?
First of all, if you don't have encryption turned on or are not facing this issue, do not proceed with the steps below since flashing a new version of TWRP can be risky.
Now for the the solution: it involves downgrading TWRP to an earlier version, in which installing updates still worked correctly.
The downgrade can be done either by using a computer with the fastboot command, or by using flashing apps such as the Official TWRP app or Flashify on your device itself.
These are the steps you'll need to do:
- Make sure to download TWRP version 3.2.1-1 for your specific device. This is the version which worked fine, and is still fairly recent.
- Flash the version of TWRP using your method of choice. For fastboot users, connect your device to your computer in Fastboot mode and type fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-1-<yourdevice>.img. When using any of the flashing apps, browse to the correct TWRP.img file and flash it.
- Reboot your device. You'll now be able to access the working version of TWRP
- Do not update your TWRP version until it has been confirmed that this issue has been resolved.
Thanks to Peter Aarnoutse for reporting this issue.

So since twrp latest works fine on my device with encryption included, I can just start the update?

Can you link 3.2.1-1 version? https://eu.dl.twrp.me/enchilada/ There is only 3.2.1-0 or 3.2.2-0

I can confirm, all fine with twrp-3.2.2-0
but seems that safetynet fails

No problem with blue twrp.

I downloaded the zip online and installed through TWRP. Just make sure to reinstall your TWRP installer after installing the full rom OTA (wipe cache/dalvik first), then reboot back into TWRP and install Magisk..then boot into system.

The OOS 5.1.11's camera is ****tier than the 5.1.9 as you can read on the official thread on oneplus's forum, some people are advising not to upgrade

Cannot run TWRP after installing Magisk

Hi all,
last week I received my new OnePlus 7 and I started playing with it and I'm having a problem. I unlocked it straight away, I installed TWRP and Magisk and all was great.
Then I noticed I coulnd't enter TWRP anymore to take a full backup. I tried everything I found on the net, Volume Up+Pwr, Volume Down+Pwr, Adb and so on but nothing. So I ran TWRP from fastboot and... I f****ed my partition. Some more reasearch and I managed to have the phone back but lost the data of the past week. Why TWRP doesn't start anymore but I only see the stock recovery?
Playing some more I made that happen again and here is what I discovered:
Phone: OnePlus 7 GM1903
OS: Oxygen 9.5.8.GM57AA
TWRP: twrp-3.3.1-1-guacamoleb.img (from https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplus7.html)
Magisk: problem started with v19.1 but repeated itself with v20.0
UPDATE: I've found someone else with the same problem https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/1920
1) Start with factory defaults
2) Install TWRP via adb
3) Install Magisk via TWRP
4) Try to enter TWRP from recovery but boots to stock recovery
Can anyone help me? The feature I need the most is a full system backup

Hello,

Yes, please use the twrp from mauronofrio, it's unified for OP7 and OP7 Pro (check file name like twrp-3.3.1-70-guacamole-unified-installer-mauronofrio.zip)and and 19.3 magisk.

Done. The partitions didn't break like it happened the first time but I still can't access TWRP. I can only access the stock recovery.
This time I have:
TWRP: twrp-3.3.1-70-guacamole-unified-installer-mauronofrio.zip
Magisk: Magisk-v19.3.zip
It's exactly like these guys https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/1920

I can't access TWRP either. Did Magisk 20 cause this? I tried both versions and I can't get TWRP working.

Reading the comments looks like version 20 breaks TWRP.
Possible solution? " I've just factory resetted mine, and installed twrp-3.3.1-70-guacamole-unified-Pie-mauronofrio.img with Magisk v19.4, now everything is fine."

That's known, that on pie( 9.5.8 for example) magisk 20 has issues, so my recommendation was to use 19.3 Instead.

I'm sad about what happened to you, friend
If you can find a solution put the topic.

I think somehow I "broke" slot A. When I put in to reboot through this slot it is the phone for TWRP, but I can't access my files.
When I select B, I lose TWRP and can access my files
That makes sense? Is there a way to fix the slots?

Can you give more details on what you are doing?
I tried to select a different slot: at the moment Slot B is selected, then loading TWRP with fastboot I start Slot A but I can't mount /data anymore. So I restart

Do you think it's best to answer this topic or the other?

I have the same problem as yours. I've tried countless scenarios, followed tutorials on XDA and Youtoube but can't make TWRP work.
Out of curiosity I restarted the device through slot A after flash zip from magisk. My phone has accessed TWRP, but I cannot access my files. When I restart from slot B I have the opposite. Twrp doesn't work, but my files are accessible.
So I believe I somehow "broke" slot A. I just don't know how I did it or how to fix it.

Most current TWRP/Magisk for Unlocked OnePlus 7 Pro OOS 10.3.1.GM21AA (GM1917)

Hey, guys. So I've been messing with my phone all day after a soft brick after having BlissROM since Feb. Long story short, something with the ROM update and it messed with my phone. I wiped EVERYTHING thinking it would solve the problem. I was able to use the All-In-One tool to save my phone through the bootloader (Thank goodness!). I finally got it to boot up to stock this morning. I've been trying all morning to gain root, but once I do, I lose WiFi and Network connections. So my question is:
What is the most current version of TWRP and Magisk that will allow me to be on stock and have root without any problems?
This is my setup.
OnePlus 7 Pro
Android version: Android 10
Build: Oxygen OS 10.0.3.GM21AA (now updated to 10.3.1)
Model: GM1917
Unlocked OEM
Unlocked Bootloader
This is the method I am using to push TWRP though the bootloader.

These are the files that flash through adb/fastboot and lose Wifi and Network connectivity.
TWRP 3.3.1-79-guacamole-unified-Q: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ma...-guacamole-unified-Q-mauronofrio.img/download
Magisk v20.4: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v20.4/Magisk-v20.4.zip
Since I don't have any connectivity at this point, I attempt to flash BlissROM with the following steps.
BlissROM version that last worked for me: https://downloads.blissroms.com/BlissRoms/Q/guacamole/Bliss-v12.6-guacamole-OFFICIAL-20200425.zip
STEPS
Boot into recovery
Backup your current ROM
Perform a factory reset
Flash Bliss Rom
Reboot recovery
Flash OpenGapps--NANO PACKAGE!!
*Flash magisk* optional
Reboot to system
Also, as I've previously stated, I have attempted to flash BlissROM through TWRP and with root (without WiFi and Data), but it hangs on the boot screen. When I go to TWRP and try to reflash the ROM, it gives me the error "cannot mount storage". I follow the instructions as stated in the original post, so I figured it has to be something with the TWRP or Magisk versions not being compatible. Since that does not work, I have since flashed stock and am currently on that without problems. Any links to the most current TWRP/Magisk/rooting methods are greatly appreciated. And if someone could help with getting BlissROM back on my phone afterwards, that would be great. Thanks!

Pretty sure you need to update to 10.3.2 to get it working right.

I just realized I could update past the first update. I figured it would update to the most recent version version after the flash back to stock, not that it would be incremental. Thank you so much for the heads up!
I have the most recent version of Magisk downloaded. What is the best for 10.3.2?

That I could not say for sure, but my guess is that it would work fine.

Got it. Does the same goes for TWRP? I read somewhere that the unofficial one might work better with Android Q (I'm assuming that's Android 10?)

I always use the unofficial version, works fine for me.

Got it. Okay, so it looks like I'll be giving BlissROM one last shot!
Before I flash TWRP and Magisk, I looked on the Oneplus website for the 10.3.2 update and it looks like the most current posted is 10.3.1. Should I update to 10.3.2 for the latest ROMS, or will 10.3.1 work fine? If so, where can I find it?

I used the oxygen updater app to download the update and sideloaded it.

So it looks like that didn't work. I got stuck on a bootloop again and had to revert back to stock.
I can't seem to find what the problem is. Here is what I am flashing:
TWRP 3.3.1-79-guacamole-unified-Q: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mau...o.img/download
Magisk v20.4: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/...gisk-v20.4.zip
This is the method I am using flash TWRP to the bootloader.

When I flash both of those, I lose Wifi and Network on my stock ROM. I'm assuming one of them is also the reason why I can't flash BlissROM.

You don't need to flash magisk before you flash the ROM, just twrp. I do know when I bootlooped, it was because I missed a step, usually because I didnt wipe data.
Follow the flash instructions step by step or you will for sure bootloop. Read them over and over until you think you have a grasp of how to flash the ROM.
You can always get back into fastboot by holding power and both volume keys...then you can reflash twrp and start over. No need to go back to stock unless you want to or need to.
Just make sure you follow the instructions step by step. This device is a bit different to flash from the devices I have used before ...so it took me a few tries to get it done right.

I've been following the steps exactly as written. Take a look at step 5 on the TWRP thread. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...covery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322/amp/)
Install guide (Reccomended):
1. Install fastboot tools from google's sdk on your PC
2. Enter fastboot mode
3. Unlock your bootloader
4. Run "fastboot boot recoveryimgfilename.img" in command line (if you want to have it permanently you should flash the installer)
5. If you will flash the installer and you are stock you need also to flash magisk or your phone will not boot again
6. Enjoy it

Furthermore, this is also reiterated in the BlissROM thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/development/rom-blissroms-v11-9-t3957341/page138
Make sure you are rooted
Make sure you have a custom recovery installed
For Q-BETA- Make sure you are on Q firmware, is currently set to use OOS 10.3.0 Stable firmware- CLEAN INSTALL!!

I also noted that in that previous quote, having the original 10.0.3 I had installed shouldn't have cause any problems. I wiped data (factory reset) every time I flashed BlissROM, as it is the third step in the process.
The reason why I go back to stock using the all-in-one tool is because I don't have anything else to flash. The whole reason I even had a soft brick was because I tried to go back to stock after my BlissROM update and flashed a OTA from the oneplus site. I probably did that incorrectly, however. Idk how what sideload is or how it functions. So that all-in-one tool is my only safety net.
