Hello! I've been searching around the internet for a little bit of information, but couldn't find anything that really explains my question.
I am using Oxygen Updater for the OnePlus 6. When there is a new update, it says that I can install it, and keep root, by using a "root package".
Are they just asking for something like the TWRP.img/.zip, or something for Magisk? How would I create or obtain a root package?
I have the same question in my mind
I'm very interested to have oem root package as well.
Google and Oneplus should include root rights as an option and do to force people to use third party software.
Root package means magisk.zip I think
If u have an unlock bootloader, u will only get full zips, at which point its easier to flash OS through twrp, flash twrp installer, reboot to twrp and flash magisk, so much easier and u keep twrp and root
Do not wipe anything, some do caches, I didn't

Been away for a while now so can't vouch if there is a custom ROM available at this moment for your specific K2 variant. However, rooting is very possible. Simply unlocking your bootloader and booting up TWRP recovery is enough to do the job since TWRP will root the device for you. TWRP will or should detect if the device is rooted or not. If it is not then when you select to reboot your system it should ask if you would like to install SuperSU or in lamen terms, to root your device. Obviously you will say yes at this point. When the device reboots then go to the play store to update SuperSU. Once it is updated open the SuperSU app so it can update the su binary. It will ask to update the su binary either normally (by writing to your system with write permissions) or via twrp\cwm. To select the normal option you must either be S-Off or have a custom kernel specific to your K2 variant which has write protection removed. Otherwise, you must select the twrp\cwm method where it will reboot back to the custom recovery and make the change from there. Once the su binary is successfully updated then you are now properly rooted. Do not EVER flash a custom ROM unless the ROM Developer states that it is compatible for your device.
I have successfully unlocked the bootloader my H83010i version.
I started down the path to root my device using H83010d tot file but stopped because I didn't know if when I upgrade to android 7.0 versions if I would lose root?
Therefore what is the easiest way to get to H83020f rooted?
How do I go from H83010i to H83020f and be rooted?
I have rooted a lot of samsung galaxy phones but this is my first LG so I am struggling a bit to understand how to upgrade. I assume if I do an OTA update it will install the latest version? I checked for system updates and it just said there is an update and to start downloading it but I don't know which update version that is?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

First of all, no need to use 10D tot file anymore. Download and install 20A kdz front autoprime located here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/stock-h830-20a-rom-flashable-zips-imgs-t3511294
Once that's installed, set up your system and then follow the following guide to get TWRP an root:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/root-h830-running-30a-nougat-t3524322
After you have TWRP and root download the flashable 20F zip and install from TWRP (make sure to delete recovery from boot.p file after installing and also flash root). Here's the link to 20F:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/stock-h830-20f-rom-flashable-zips-imgs-t3592855
If you follow all of that, you will be on stock 20F, rooted and with TWRP. After that, I recommend checking out the following custom kernel and installing that and using magisk instead of SuperSU. Kernel located here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/jan-17-2017-20c-deodexed-kernels-t3539611
Hopefully that helps, if you need more help just ask.
Thanks so much for taking the time to write me this great information. I have a question about the (make sure to delete recovery from boot.p file after installing and also flash root). ???????? Is this explained clearly somewhere? I don't know what I should do.

After flashing the 20F version from TWRP, it creates a recovery from boot.p file in the system directory. If you don't delete this file before rebooting, you will lose TWRP. So, after doing the recowvery method to get root and TWRP and then after you flash the 20F from TWRP, after it's done flashing go to main menu of TWRP, click on mount, check system, go back to main menu, click advanced, click file manager and go-to system directory and click on the recovery from boot.p file and then delete. Now you can reboot without losing TWRP. Then you can flash SuperSU or magisk for root
Your Device software cannot be checked for corruption. Lock the bootloader
Thanks for the fast responses. After many hours of studying the posts and I finally got my LG G5 running on H830_20F_DeOdexed rom withh Asgard version 4.5 kernal and rooted with SuperSU v2.74.
However I keep getting the "your device software cannot be checked for corruption. lock the bootloader message upon starting up. see attachment
Does everyone get that message? Or is there a way to remove it?
I thought the Asgard kernal said it got rid of that?

You'll always have that message, no current way around it. Asgard kennel will allow you to pass safety net if you use magisk instead of SuperSU for root as it hides that the bootloader is unlocked from the system.
Where is Magisk?

Are you saying that boot up message will not be there if I switch to Magisk?
I tried to find magisk but I was unable to locate the install file and instructions on how to change from SuperSU to magisk. Do you know the link to it?

No. I said currently there is no way to get rid of that message unless you lock the bootloader and you can't do that after modifying the system (i.e. installing TWRP and root). I said magisk will allow you to pass safety net. All that does is allow you to use apps that won't work with root / unlocked bootloader. If you don't use apps like Android pay or other apps that don't work when rooted, it really isn't necessary to switch from SuperSU to magisk. Anyways, if you're interested in magisk use Google (or XDA search) and search magisk XDA.
Hey everyone,
I want to root my S8+ and install TWRP and I found a thread in here about installing TWRP and then rooting my phone , however I went to Twrp-Website and it said something about dm-verity and kernel.
So my question is, do I need to root the phone first or can I just install TWRP and then root it?
Would be really grateful if someone answered quickly
Thanks in advance.

Typically, with Exynos, you flash TWRP via Odin, and once you re-boot, into TWRP, then do the dm-verity and rooting flashes, eg Su or Magisk, in that order.
There are some custom ROM installs that install a root during their install, many of which use Aroma, so pick your options for the ROM/root install.
I want to root my OP6, but having rooted some Samsung Phones already I have some concerns, although it is supposed to be a lot easier to root OnePlus devices.
1. If I root my device and install TWRP will the process of installing System Updates change in any way, or will I still be able to install every ota update via updates app? (am on android p "O2" beta 7 rn)
2. Are there different recoverys for different types of OP6 (like different countrys, vendors etc.)?
3. Is there a chance of bricking my device flashing the new recovery?
4. What is the fastest/best way to back up my data before unlocking my bootloader?
Really hoping for some answers. Sorry if my english is bad and/or if I posted in the wrong topic. Thanks
1. Ota will still work. However it will replace twrp and Magisk. To keep them do this if your doing the update from OS:
Let it do the update (DO NOT REBOOT!)
start magisk app go to downloads
Search for TWRP A/B
Install that one. (should only be one hit) (DO NOT REBOOT)
Go to main screen of magisk app
Click install, install, install to inactive slot (after ota)
Now reboot and you have twrp and magisk.
2. Nah.. But use bluspark twrp and you will be good. Always works for me.
3. Not really... Hard to brick Qualcomm. But please.. Read the guide an extra time.. Don't skip steps (like reboot and what not..)
4. Swift backup for apps+data from apps. PC to save pictures/downloads you want to keep.
Hi guys. I know there has been a million topics about this and I've read most of them but does anyone know which route is currently the safest for an ota update? I have a 7pro rooted with Twrp and magisk. I'm on 10.0.5 and looking to update to 10.0.10.
Should I use trwp recovery and flash everything from there or can I flash locally and then use magisk along with the a/b retention script? I messed up rooting the phone originally and lost some data and now I have a mental block around which method is safest to do without losing my data or bootlooping. I want to make sure both slots update correctly and I'm unsure of the correct method.
Any help would be appreciated before I give it a go, thank you.
I'm also wondering if I've edited the build prop in any way with the build prop editor, will this cause a boot loop or will a full ota zip return it to normal anyway?
Thanks

the typical and safe route to take an OTA and keep your root is:
download OTA using oxygen downloader app
Use the sytem update app to install the file above using the local upgrade option. DO NOT REBOOT.
Use magisk to install the twrp a/b keeper script. DO NOT REBOOT.
Use magisk to install magisk to the inactive slot. Then reboot.
I have the gm1913 phone which is a different variant, but I'm sure that the concept is the same.
Good luck.
Thanks for the reply. Did something similar to this
What I ended up doing incase anyone else needs to know..
Disable all magisk modules and reboot
Flash full update from local storage
Don't reboot
Go to magisk and flash twrp zip
Don't reboot
Flash magisk zip to separate slot (ota option)
Now phone reboots its self
Re enable modules in Magisk
Reboot
Profit
