Update Magisk? - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

Currently running stock ROM on an unlocked and rooted phone.
Magisk manager reports an update available.. can I just download and install this?
I've seem posts saying you need to reflash the entire ROM but wanted to double check.
Thanks

I downloaded the latest beta version, flashed it with TWRP and restarted. It booted and has been working just fine, didn't have to re-flash the ROM.

All it's doing is updating the manager itself, not magisk. You're fine and should have no problems.

Actually Both Magisk and the Manager have updates.
I updated both via the app.
No Issues, Safe to update.

Latest way to root moto g3 2015 xt1550 OSPREY

Could anyone please point out a way to root my phone(in title), as of this day. There are many methods. So I am confused. I recently read about magisk manager, used to root. Does it work? I just wanted to know the latest method, easier one of any. Also can TWRP manager be used to flash recovery in phone or should it be done flashing TWRP. Img, file.
Please forgive me if i posted in wrong section.
Thanks in advance.

Use PC via ADB (fastboot)to flash TWRP. Flash Magisk in recovery, then dl Magisk manager from play store.
Magisk works very well.
This all is assuming your boot loader is unlocked.
Good luck.

So instead of supersu, we use magisk?
And I read somewhere also that using magisk we can still get updates to our phones. Is that right?
Also there is a TWRP manager in play Store can we use it to flash TWRP instead of ADB?
Thanks for the steps though.

My experience with TWRP manager has been it breaks my recovery. No idea why so I flashed via PC. Not sure you can still receive updates when your boot loader has been unlocked. Depends on a lot of factors. Someone​else will have to answer that question.

OK thanks.
An unlocked bootloader doesn't prevent you from receiving updates from Motorola. But I think rooting the ROM will prevent installation of further updates.
I don't think Motorola is going to push any further updates. So just do anything you want with your phone (personal opinion).

I've never received a update notice.
I would have to agree... There is little chance of getting another update, and if we did it would just be a simple security update and not important.
And no, even with Magisk you cannot apply an OTA update, it will fail.
Unlock your bootloader, flash the twrp recovery using adb fastboot...then wipe the stock rom, flash custom rom along with SuperSU....enjoy! (Processes are same but you should use the latest versions of all these...)

Newest Ota update on rooted HTC u11

I am running stock ROM and rooted with Magisk
Can I use Flashfire to install update? I know I will have to uncheck SuperSU.

There's already a very detailed thread going over all of this. https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/collection-htcu-u11-ruu-firmware-t3612048
Sorry. I looked but obviously not hard enough. Thank you.

OTA and root

guys, i read somewhere that magisk affects only the kernal so here's the step i got to have incremental OTA with root.
1)install TWRP
2)backup the stock kernal
3)install magisk
when there is an update
1)install the stock kernal backed up above
2)install the stock recovery
3)update using incremental OTA
can anyone confirm this?
I was on 5.1.5. Twrp n magisk
Got ota 5.1.6. Installed. Flashed twrp and magisk again. All set

i am talking about the incremental OTA update. 5.1.6 incremental OTA was of around 230mb whereas the full zip is of 1.4 gb. so i wanna install the incremental update. just wanted to confirm if the above method will work or not.

I'm still on stock boot/kernel. I don't need TWRP on my phone. If I need TWRP in the future i'll just use
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
to boot into fastboot.
My procedure for OTA + Magisk Root:
Install OTA (full rom because of root) inside Oxygen OS
Don't reboot!
Open Magisk Manager and go to Settings -> Update Channel -> Beta
Click install and select "Install to Second Slot (After OTA)"
HIt reboot

Why would you guys want to take this risk when the result could potentially be a hard-bricked phone? Incremental updates often replace only parts of critical files, which means that if an OTA patches a modified file thinking it's stock, it may create an unreadable mess. OP is sending you the full package for a reason.

That's rough, but personally, I would never take the risk to save some download time.

Will installing the OTA update lose root?

A few months ago I followed one of tutorials and unlock the bootloader, installed twrp, magisk, and gain root. I am normally a flashaholic but lately I been busy and working and have stay on the stock rom and haven't touch it. So I don't know much about how things work. I noticed I have a notification for the new update. What steps do I need to take to download the new update from oneplus and stay rooted? Or can I just download the updated as is?
Edit: Also, if I wanted to install an Android 11 rom, are they stable enough for daily use? If so, any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

There is specific guides. Regarding this. You use a app to download the update. Apply it don't reboot. Then in magisk flash a twrp retention zip. And magisk install on inactive slot. Then reboot. Is the jist of it

Installing Magisk on stock global miui

Since kernel releases are yet to be published " a total duck move by xiaomi ?" I wanted to keep on using the stock ROM without changing anything but miui is too cringy for me to live with it, so I need to put the ol'rooting hat once again
My question is.. did any one actually root it using magisk and can still get ota , or you would need to uninstall magisk then update then get magisk again?
Also what happens to TWRP , can it coexist with miui ?
I had a previous xiaomi phone (mido) but tbh I never even thought of using the miui and switched to RR once I unlocked the bootloader ?
You can get ota with magisk but updating will rewrite boot and recovery so you'll need to re-root.

FYI, I'm still on stock EU v12.0.3.0 with mauronofrio TWRP and rooted with Magisk.
I got two OTAs already, the last with v12.0.4.0 -- and it even tried to apply one of them while I wasn't looking but it obviously failed, since there's no stock recovery.

What if I reflash the stock recovery.img after rooting, that might get the ota working ?
Yes I know I would still have to flash twrp and magisk again after it
I'll test it on my old phone first , hope it can work as a reference for one last time of it's miserable life

I thought the same, but then I'm not keen on moving to v12.0.4.0 right now, so I didn't budge. Let us know how it goes. :good:

Still the same, just flash the root file and reboot it up... And also install magisk manager to have root management
Orange Fox is much more recommended for our Poco by ManoloRey for installing AOSP ROMS...
