update to 5.1.7 - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

hi guys i am on 5.1.6 oos rooted twrp installed now i want to update to 5.1.7 so can i update just like that in updater app or should i have to do any prerequisites

Don't do it. 5.1.8 will be released end of next week and you will be doing this all over again. I was going to myself but I'm waiting until the next release until someone pushes full writeup and review

You can install it via the update manager. But yes, you are going to lose twrp and root, which is not a problem at all since it took me only like 5 minutes to get it all working again.
I followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-how-to-install-official-twrp-t3801558

Lol... And after that there will be a new build in another week...

The more updates, the better. We won't complain, do we? I'm glad, we don't suffer for updates like SAMEsung-users do.

Updating via twrp and then (before reboot) re flashing twrp.zip and magisk will grant you to maintain twrp and root

Did you successfully do it? If yes please tell what procedure you followed.
Do I need to backup internal? Or my apps?
Thanks.

if u update through the OS like updater app or anything, u will have to re-flash twrp using the fastboot method, if you already have twrp installed then just update via twrp with full zip, install twrp installer zip, and then magisk (i usually reboot back to recovery after i install twrp installer then flash magisk). Then you are done, u do not lose anything and do no wipe anything either

Should i have to change slot after twrp flash of full rom

The easiest way is to download and install the update through the settings app then BEFORE you reboot open Magisk, click install then install to second slot.
No flash or worrying

Download the ota.zip, reboot to TWRP, flash ota, flash TWRP.zip, reboot to OS, reboot to recovery again if you want magisk and install magisk zip. Done. No data loss or changing settings.

Can't install Magisk 17.1 on OxygenOS Pie Open Beta 2

Just updated my phone to Open beta 2, dirty flashed it and it booted up. works perfectly fine. but after i tried to flash magisk 17.1 , it won't boot. stuck at the boot animation.
im using blu spark twrp to flash the magisk.
btw i had magisk installed on 5.1.11 and it works fine too.
any suggestions ? thxx.
UPDATE (09/12) : Issues fixed by installing the uninstaller first then install the magisk 17.1 zip. thx to exelinguy.
Try to do the whole flash procedure again.
Boot into recovery
Flash beta2
Flash twrp
Reboot to twrp
Flash magisk
Boot to system
That way it will be installed on both partitions, could/should do the trick.

Flash the Magisk uninstaller first to remove any old files, and then flash 17.1 zip again.

it depends on the situation. If you're on the Open beta updating to a newer build, the data will still be there, but if you're on the open beta downgrading a build or downgrading to oreo, your data will be lost.

When you install rom, install twrp and reboot to twrp it changes slot. If he has done it 2 times both slots are tested.

SOLVED: Flashed Magisk zip from TWRP but no root

Sorry, its been quite a while since ive rooted and im new to Magisk. Im currently on November .a1 update. I followed the below tutorial
If starting fresh from November (.A1.) Update
Install November update
Download latest Magisk Beta (17.3) and move it to the internal storage of the device
Reboot to bootloader
Download the .img version of TWRP for "crosshatch"
In the location of downloaded TWRP .img, open cmd and enter
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-crosshatch.img
Allow twrp to boot (this will take a minute or two)
Then go to install and install the Magisk zip
Reboot and find magisk manager and make sure it says you're rooted
Until there is an update to the patched_boot.imgs, dont follow the how to beyond this point. In fact I am hiding it for the time being.

But I do not see the "MAGISKSU (topjohnwu)" at all. I feel like there's more to root than just installing Magisk from TWRP. I see an "Install" but am hesistant as I bricked my phone last time I tried this.
What am I missing?

It is just flash the zip from TWRP. And based on that screenshot it looks like you are done. What happens when you try and do something that requires root?

I usually verify root by downloading root checker app. App says that I'm not rooted.
EDIT: Nevermind, I tried it again and now it says I'm rooted. Thanks!

Hi,
yes you can. Grab the latest installer zip and install like any module. Reboot into recovery and flash magisk again.
Reboot into system , and done.
Yeah this is it.

What? I thought the OP asked if it is possible to flash TWRP via the Magisk app? But @soka replied as if to answer how to flash magisk itself? Or am I getting this wrong? How can you flash anything besides official Google signed .zips with stock recovery?

(This is the Magisk zip file you should already have flashed from rebooting into TWRP now)

I have to try this... This seems just way too easy...

OTA Updates can be installed

Hey guys,
This guide is for people who are rooted and is on a custom rom and whoever don't have pc. This thread is for you especially. i hope this experience will help you.
Can we Install OTA updates? Yes. This is the way i chose and it is helpful.
What do we need to install Rom?
A) Full Custom ROM.zip
B) Gapps
C) Twrp.img (latest)
Steps to install:
1. Download Full ROM.zip on nubia.bss website.
2. Download Twrp, Gapps and push all these three files to internal storage.
2. Open Magisk and Uninstall and uninstall everything and reboot.
3. Enter twrp recovery and install and install ROM.
4. Don't reboot after the installation of ROM, come to home of twrp, and go to install and install twrp now.
5. Don't reboot yet, after the successful installation of TWRP, go to home of twrp and go to reboot and select reboot to recovery. (Not system) becareful doing this.
6. Now, Install Gapps and then once finished, go back to install and install magisk now and reboot to system.
7. Done, New OTA full rom is installed.
And incase if your gapps doesnt seem to respond properly or closing automatically, uninstall magisk. And go to twrp and install Gapps, Magisk again. Now your playstore will work properly, if other google apps r nt responding properly the you need to uninstall the apps and install again from playstore.
There will be no data loss in internal storage and no need of PC.
Sorry for my broken english.
I hope this could help you.

Have you installed TWRP? If No, install it. Any video from Youtube will help you.
If yes, switch off device nd press power + vol up. You'll enter twrp.
I have global version i don't find twrp for it
btw what you mean full rom or small ota updates??
I mean small ota update

First of all,
To do twrp instalation, you don't need root. You would need pc and a few codes and it'll be done.
OTA updates in Chinese rom cannot be installed coz of root. When ppl would want to install those OTA, they had to download full update package from website and do the installation from twrp and that is how OTA can be installed. Go to search threads and type full migrate guide nubia. Follow his guide.
Ok and thanks for your reply

I figured out reflashing of parameter.img, boot.img and recovery.img on fastboot allows the download OTA from the System Update.
Unfortunately when the phone restarts and proceed to apply the update on it's stock recovery, it fails..
I guess I'll be relying on ROM download link if I don't want a full-wipe

If you are rooted and/or have TWRP installed, then you need to restore the stock boot and/or recovery images before starting the update.
Then I will lose root access?
Not if you do it properly.
If you're using TWRP, then you'll have to restore the stock recovery.
If you're rooted then you can restore the stock boot using Magisk>Uninstall Magisk>Restore images but don't reboot or you'll lose root.
Then download and install the incremental update manually. Then install Magisk to the inactive slot and reboot.

1) Update software but DO NOT REBOOT
2) Open Magisk > tap install > tap Install to inactive slot > NOW reboot.
Make sure you disable any and all modules first. No need to uninstall, just disable them. Mainly just a precaution. Possibly remove security from the lockscreen too for good measure.
I lost root the other day actually forgetting to properly install Magisk before rebooting and now I have to buy a laptop just to root again.

Use TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-rooting-oos-with-twrp.4327417/
since i did it manually and ended up with no boot.img backup from magisk, i had to manually extract boot.img from my last ota 11.0.11.11.KB05AA and reflash it through fastboot. then it let me update and i rerooted.
I get the notification but can't even try it because when i tap on it, it does nothing.

I managed to install the update, I used oxygen updater to download the update, used restore images option in magisk, installed update (DID NOT REBOOT), used install to inactive slot in magisk, then rebooted.
Seems like it all went well.

Do I have root and twrp, what should I restore? Only recovery? If so, you have maybe some stock for 11.0.11.11 kb05ba? I don't know why, but I only have a copy of the boot.

Sorry Bill, I get it all now. I just have to do as You wrote:
1) restore the stock boot using Magisk>Uninstall Magisk>Restore images but don't reboot or you'll lose root
2) install update manually, System update>Gear icon (local upgrade)
3) install Magisk to the inactive slot and reboot
Last question, where or how to download update manually?

Ah, well that's tricky if it's not available from OnePlus or the XDA rom thread. I believe Oxygen updater app will give you the rom also, but I've never used it.
Edit: just read your post again and I'm confused: what rom exactly are you looking for?
This thread is about ending up on 11.0.12.12.KB05AA
And if you're looking for that one you'll find it in https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/updates-thread.4188149/post-86165983
