Hello, I have an OP6 and I unlocked the bootloader and installed Magisk to mess around but I really don't need those things and would much rather have Widevine L1.
I will uninstall Magisk and restore the original boot image, can I relock the bootloader then without a data wipe and continue using it?
Thanks.
No..

No you will not need to wipe

No you cannot proceed without wiping?

If you relock the bootloader data & internal storage wil be wiped
Please give Feedback if you receive L1 again after going back full stock.

Can you confirm that you were able to regain Widevine L1?

I have not done it yet but someone from the OnePlus team has already said you'll get WideVine L1 again if you relock.

3Qvm.
Am I to assume that after unlocking boot loader and rooting, flashing this restores the DRMs(generic)?

It activates the features that gets deactivated when you lose drm keys so thats nice but it doesn't restore the keys.
They are forever lost when you unlock bootloader unless you backed them up before but that tool only work with marshmallow.
It happens to me that this build wipes user data both in unlocking and locking the bootloader.
Then procedure to activate camera2api and relock the bootloader are not valid anymore.

Since may update this happens. Standart android security. Every time you unlock bootloader device is wiped. In every device. Ours was the exception. Not anymore

Yup, since may update. U just did not realize it!
Last time I unlock and relock was on 8.0 some months ago...
So If I want to activate camera2api and relock the bootloader I should flash an 8.0 build with miflash, do the modification, relock the bootloader and wait for OTA to update?
Isn't this too complicated? Why just don't keep bootloader unlocked?

I've seen it, but it seems when you then launch temporary twrp it also wipes.
Now I'm back in April update, modified camera2api options, relocked everything and updating to May... after that it should notify the July update.

It will only wipe once. After that, you can boot into twrp, set camera 2, then relock.

Is it possible to only root it without losing data? What I want to do is, root, use Titanium to take a backup of all of my apps, then unlock bootloader.

Hello, this is the forum for OP7, not T pro But yeah, when you flash a magisk-patched boot.img, there's no reset of data like the first time when you unlocked the bootloader. But please check the OP7T pro forums!

Thank you for the answer and I apologize for asking in wrong forum
Hello, could someone help me with some questions please? It is more concerned with unlocking the bootloader and security so I am sorry if this isn't the right place, but any help is greatly appreciated as I come from iOS & Jailbreaking.
1) other than my data, what should I backup before/after unlocking the bootloader? maybe recovery and persistent partitions? and how would I do that, by booting TWRP from FastBoot before flashing it?
2) I am planning on flashing Evo X and I assume with the SafetyNet Fix zip provided I'd be able to pass SafetyNet, but what about Widevine? Will it still be L1 after unlocking & flashing Evo X? If not, is L1 permanently lost after unlocking the bootloader?
3) anything else I should know / do before I proceed?
Thanks in Advance!
1) we cannot restore Miui data to AOSP
2) After flashing many aosp roms, I never lost FOD and L1.(ask the question on the Evo X rom thread)

Hey, thanks for the response, for #1, I don't mean my personal data, but rather system partitions like the recovery and persistent partitions, I heard that the persistent partition stores the Widevine certificates, how can I backup those? And how can I restore them if needed?
Thanks!
Not possible
If you want to go back to Miui just flash the original rom with miflash in fastboot mode.
I have already done this several times without problem.

Honestly I don't understand, I don't want to go back to MIUI, basically I looked up online on Widevine, and it said the Widevine certificates are stored in some persist.img or partition or something like that, how do I backup that?
Or do you mean I do not need to backup anything? I can just straight up flash custom ROM without any worries of losing Widevine L1?

Evo x=google dialer so no call recorder

Currently twrp is not 100% functional, use magisk only for SafetyNet.
to avoid erasure or other problems on partitions.

You get it from the official OOS.zip. Use the payload dumper to extract it.

There is no working TWRP for OOS 11, so you can flash this via fastboot.
I was looking into porting TWRP for OOS 11, but when I dump a list of partitions on my device there is no recovery partition at all.
It looks like OnePlus A/B devices have recovery within the boot image, so that makes things a little more complicated than I can handle myself.

Not unless you have to unlock your bootloader first, then yes. It'll wipe your phone. If your bootloader is already unlock, no it won't wipe anything.

One plus switch only backup the apps not their data, permission etc. Not sure of contacts and sms.
I would suggest backing up all your data,on a pc and go from there. Once you are rooted , backing up data and restore is easy.
