Will there be any incompatibility issues with magisk and xposed?
No problem with rooted device on updating, althought you will get unrooted once you update with OTA.
Also, there is no xposed for Pie.
Not yet faced any issues. After OTA update done don't reboot the device. just come to Magisk manager -> install -> select install after OTA option and reboot so that you won't lose root.
Ok, I will stay on oreo for now then. Does Pie run better than Oreo on stock?
Should've read this **** before updating to Pie.
Currently in a bootloop after going from oreo to Pie :'(
What is the latest version of Oreo I should be able to get to with Xposed on OP6?
I faced some issues. After updating to 9.0.2 TWRP and Magisc were gone. So had to reroot and reinstall TWRP via fastboot.
Yes.. this will ALWAYS happen. if you want to keep root when doing OTA you have to do this after install is done, but before reboot!
open magisk app
press downloads
search for TWRP A/B
Install that module ( :::::...:.:..:...::::O NOT REBOOT:::::...:.:..:...::::
Go to main screen of magisk again
press install
press install to inactive slot (after ota)
NOW you can reboot and all will be kept.
If you do it from TWRP (like i prefer, since its just faster)
Flash full rom
flash Twrp (blu_spark latest)
reboot to twrp
flash magisk (latest)
done.
flashing roms will ALWAYS override recovery and boot partition
If I understand you precisely, you say, that this is a question of OTa roms. I am not very keen for OTA. Would TWRP and Magisk stay when flashing a non-OTA rom? If yes, are there non-OTAs of OOS?
No what I ment was using the update function from within android.
You will ALWAYS override recovery and Magisk. Follow the steps above when you flash..
Always like this from twrp
Flash Rom
Flash Recovery
Reboot to twrp
Flash magisk
And u be good...
OK thanks. I did wrongly to accept the automatic update instead of downloading the zip and install it via TWRP.

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!
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

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?
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

Dears,
I have a OnePlus 6 unlocked and rooted with magisk and TRWP.
Currently I'm running stock firmware: oxygenos 10.3.
I got a message from system to update to 10.3.1.
Last time (when I have to update to 10.3) I tried to update in every way but without success and at the end I had to format everything and I lost my data.
So here is my question: which is the correct procedure to update software?
Thanks!
Look in TWRP and Root for OnePlus 6 on Oxygen OS 10 Stable/Beta thread
So you need to download latest Oxygen zip which is 042 buil if I'm not wrong...put it on your phone if you already didn't done that...then reboot to TWRP...and here starts the procedure....I HIGHLY RECCOMEND TO DO A WIPE WITHOUT FORMATTING INTERNAL STORAGE ONLY DATA...FOR AVOIDING ISSUES...but you can go without it...so here we start
Boot into twrp
Flash oxygen os zip(latest)
Flash twrp
Reboot to twrp(if it says no os installed just ignore it and swipe reboot anyway)
Flash magisk
and your done...thats it...nothing could go wrong.... I'm always doing it this way....

For me, the phone downloaded the whole package instead of just the little OTA. I let it install it, bit did not let it restart it. Then I went to magisk modules and installed "twrp-keep". Then in magisk manager I had it install magisk on the other slot. Then I restarted the phone. Everything worked great.

Try this method... im also done my update like this!
my way of doing it
Here's what i did and it didn't took me long at all i'm a newbie
I unroot my phone via magisk
install os 10.3.1 then flash twrp and root my phone again.
Dears,
Thanks for the replay.
I forgot that I was without TWRP.
What I did, and it worked, is:
- uninstall magisk manager by magisk
- install full update
- reboot
- flash by fastboot boot.img patched by magisk.
Thanks again
hi
i have a poco x3 pro, rooted (magisk) and running LineageOS 18.1
Now i get my first OTA and wonder how to retain root, after upgrading.
with my Mi A1 it was
* restore boot image from within magisk manager
* install OTA
* reinstall magisk after OTA in magisk manager in second partition
* reboot
as far as i see X3 Pro has no A/B scheme
I'm using TWRP and Magisk flashed as zip by TWRP. This way a proper addon script is installed and Magisk survives OTA. The same goes for gapps.
If you install Magisk by flashing prepared boot.img, then you have to repeat this procedure after each OTA update.
You don't have to restore original boot.img before OTA. LineageOS is not an incremental update, it is full system, which overwrites boot.img, regardless of what it contains.
thanks for answering. i did my first install this way:
install LOS via lineageos recovery, add gapps, add magisk, reboot
i now installed the OTA from inside Lineagos. root lost. i checked for the existance of /system/addon.d/99-magisk.sh and the script was (and still is) there. do i need to download OTA and afterwards install the update from recovery?
Maybe it is a problem of LineageOS recovery. I'm using official TWRP. You probably have to install Magisk again. I think you can switch to TWRP at any time, it is compatible with Lineageos.
worked, thanks for pointing me into the correct direction!
the steps so far:
1* reinstall magisk (by patching boot.img from the OTA and booting into that and reinstall magisk)
2* download the next OTA
3* install twrp (i used the path through play-store)
4* start the installation of OTA (from inside android)
5* poco reboots into twrp
6* unlock with my password/pin
7* twrp does some magic/installs OTA
8* boot into system
9* everything is fine
from now on it should work from step 4
merry xmas!
