I had that same issue today - i downloaded the rom from OnePlus directly, flashed it back to factory, and then followed the instructions in

Works like a charm without TWRP for me.

Did you reflash twrp directly after OS update without rebooting?

Correct. Reboot is not required. Boot to recovery, flash OOS, flash TWRP and Magisk and reboot.

After updating os.
Flash twrp
Reboot recovery
Flash magisk.
Follow this order and the problem will be solved. I had the same problem too.

You are losing wifi because you have one of the early versions of twrp that used a kernel from HOS.
The magisk non twrp method works great.
Also, there is an updated thread about rooting that has the new TWRP installer. It wont break wifi.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-how-to-install-official-twrp-t3801558
Basically you boot into twrp, Install latest rom, run the updated twrp installer, install magisk.
Thats the new normal on this phone btw (install rom, install twrp, install magisk) because the kernel is part of recovery or something like that lol

Wiped and back to stock recovery... Sigh.

Hi!
I have a OP6. Running rooted stock with BluSpark TWRP and Magisk. Some months ago I rooted it and I was running 9.0.1 or 9.0.0, not sure which one. I then updated to 9.0.2 OTA a week or so later. I can not remember the exact procedure, but everything worked fine. Today I installed 9.0.3 OTA and then used Magisk (18.0) before reboot to install it to slot A (9.0.2 was on B). Somehow, I ended up with a wiped device and stock recovery. Can anyone help me to find my potential fault in this? I don't want it wiped during the next OTA, it's a real hassle to set up everything again. I remember that I checked a guide that had tips on OTA, but I can't seem to find it.
Best.

I had the same thing happen to me. I missed the part where I flash TWRP right after the OTA. That probably triggered the factory reset
So instead of rebooting, I should do a "fastboot boot IMAGE" and then install the bluspark twrp zip from inside that one? I guess I can boot up to TWRP and install Magisk as well after this while I'm at it?
Are you flashing from twrp?
If so,flash ROM zip
Flash twrp zip
Reboot to twrp
Flash magisk
Done.
If ur doing it from Android
Install ROM,when it asks you to reboot, DON'T
go to magisk app
Go to modules
Search for a/b twrp (you should only find one module)
Install it ,don't reboot
Go to main magisk screen
Press install,install, install to inactive slot (after OTA) after it's done you can REBOOT.
The module keeps your twrp
Flashing magisk to inactive slot will root the update you just installed
I was installing the OTA normally, without TWRP. It worked just fine last time.
You shouldn't install any OTA if you are rooted.
Only full roms.

I understand. But it doesn't change the fact that it worked like a charm last time. I just assumed there might be a general way.

On OOS it knows if you are rooted and will download full ROM,so it's fine if you install a/b twrp magisk module after (keeps twrp) and then install magisk to inactive slot .
What happened here is he probably forgot to install twrp and magisk probably got to the wrong slot, hence the wipe
Not only probably. I did not install TWRP after the OTA. And I probably got the Magisk slot right (I installed it to other slot though the manager). Thanks for your help!
So next time:
OTA
Check if all dev USB-settings are enabled (?)
Shut off
Boot to TWRP
Install TWRP
Install Magisk to new slot
Boot up
Seems right?

no.... you do what i wrote like 3 posts up.. DO NOT REBOOT!!
After every single rom flash, TWRP, from android or fastboot or whatever way you install any rom TWRP will be replaced, aswell as boot.img (magisk is there)
OTA
DONT REBOOOOOOTT!!!
go to magisk, search for A/B twrp module, install it
DONT REBOOT
Go to main screen of magisk
install, install, install to inactive slot.
done..
your way will wipe TWRP.
From twrp:
Flash rom zip
flash twrp
reboot to twrp
flash magisk
done
Oh yeah. I completely forgot about that the TWRP retention script exists. Perfect. This is exactly what I did last time. Thanks!

Losing TWRP and Magisk after update

I'm running stock ROM on unlocked bootloader with root through Magisk. I've been using TWRP, but changed over to Blu_spark TWRP recently.
Every time I update my OS Ota, I lose TWRP and Magisk. The Magisk app is installed, but the ROM is not rooted. If course, if I try to install patch the system so it's rooted through the Magisk app, it says that it can't unpack the file. If I reboot to recovery to install from there, I get the stock recovery, not TWRP.
I tried to re-install TWRP and Magisk once before, and borked my phone. I had to quote and start from scratch. I lost all data since I wasn't rooted and Titanium Backup would not run.
What is the proper way to get TWRP and Magisk back after an OTA update?
Flash them after you flash update zip. If you don't you will lose recovery and root every time. Gets overwritten by stock recovery. Normal behavior
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using Tapatalk
So you're saying that instead of doing the OTA update, I should download the update from here, and manually update it ? Can I just install the update? I'm rooted, (well, I was) so the OTA will only download the full update. Is that required instead of the update?
I really have to do a full re-install for every update? That sucks. A lot.
Full reinstall? No. You just have to flash the full ROM. This doesn't mean, you'll loose all your data: Just TWRP, Magisk and (if you have it) your custom kernel. You only have to flash TWRP (or simply boot into it), Magisk and kernel (again: if you have it) after the update. Done.

Ok. Cool. I tried that last time, but it failed. As a result, I'm a bit anxious about doing it again. Hopefully, I won't have any problems this time.
Thanks for the info.
I have had similar troubles as you, here's an overview of how to solve those problems.
OTA through OS:
Download and install OTA
Use Magisk Manager to download the TWRP A/B retention script and install it
Install Magisk to current and inactive slot
Reboot
Guys I am using latest blu_spark twrp. my bootloader is unlocked and I am running oxygenOS openbeta23. Following is my problem.
My flash order: (Note: already I have bue_spark twrp recovery running without issues)
1. Flash the full OTA(openbeta)
2. Flash the blu_spark twrp zip file on both active and non active slots.
3. Flash the latest magisk zip file. If step 3 is not successful means I will try to reboot in to recovery and again flash the magisk installer zip.
Until some time back all this worked fine. But for last 2-3 times although the flashing process of twrp zip on both slots ends with success message, when I reboot to recovery from twrp in order to flash magisk, the device boots in to stock recovery. I don't know how even after flashing twrp zip on both slots successfully why the devices bootbback to stock recovery. Then to have blu_spark twrp I have to connect my device to a computer in fastboot mode and then boot in to custom recovery using the blu_spark twrp image file and again flash the blu_spark twrp zip file which is inconvenient and also requires a computer.
Am I missing anything here?? If yes why this method was working perfectly before? Please somebody help.
Regards,
Sivabalan K
I flash in following order my stable updates
Flash full rom zip
Flash bluespark recovery
Restart into bluespark recovery
Flash magisk
Restart into Android
Everything works flawless. Magisk installed with all the modules running
Hi guys,
Don't you need to disable lock pattern/PIN or fingerprint/face ID? And don't need to uninstall magisk modules?
I never update my OP6 from my initial unlock/twrp/magisk and I'm a bit anxious to do it now...
Thanks
PS : I'm using original twrp (3.2.3-1), is this a problem?

Can't root after full 9.0.4 installation

I have installed incremental upgrades for 9.0.2 and 9.0.3 and been able to do a TWRP less root using Magisk. For the upgrade to 9.0.4 I downloaded and installed the full upgrade. Following installation of oos_9.0.4_patched_boot.img, my phone reboots to recovery so I am unable to load Magisk. So I have to reinstall oos_9.0.4_stock_boot.img and stay unrooted. I can't find a similar problem - am I unique? Any solutions?

Flash Full OOS via fastboot (Guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665 )
Then use fastboot to enter twrp blu_spark (TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=27466#downloads )
Then flash magisk (Magisk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...k-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445?styleid=21 )
After magisk installed, reboot phone and install magisk app
Done.

My apologies for the late reply. I'm not heavily into these things so I was reluctant to go into TWRP. So I ended up resetting my phone and now it all roots quite happily. But thanks for the ideas.
hii i have one plus 6 oxygen 9.0.6 but am not able to find out patched file

update to 9.5.9 bootloop, only fix was twrp bootloop fix but removed root

As the title says I updated to 9.5.9 and I installed magisk to ota slot and then I got a bootloop.... I fixed it by using twrp option to fix bootloop but that removed root, everything I do now sends it into a bootloop, please tell me there is a way to reroot this without wiping my data
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-to-uninstall-magisk-module-t3940369#poststop
Just had the same issue an hour ago. Do this then re-root your phone again. Easy. Then re-install magisk modules.

Had the same issue.
Same here. I just reflashed TWRP (flash boot command), flashed the TWRP installer zip, rebooted recovery and then flashed Magisk. That solved it.
By the way, theres a new TWRP out for the 7 Pro.
I got the same problem but my internal storage is encrypted (it shows 0kb). TWRP is not asking for PIN to unencrypt the partition. What can I do now?
Do we have a custom boot image for 9.5.9? I'm looking to root and want to find the best method which will continue to allow future updates (even if I need to flash manually)

Your best bet is to use the oxygen updater app, download 9.5.9 and then copy it to a PC then use boot.img extract thingy and then use magisk to patch it and then use fastboot to to root it

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
a10, twrp and root working

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.

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.
