I bought Oneplus 6 and have been using it couple of days. There are basically two dealbreaker that can be fixed with other means. I was told blockada is best for blocking ads, but every dns which i tested blocked things I did not want to like whatsapp voice messages or was slow. Other dealbreaker is notification led. On normal rom battery led cannot be disabled which make it unusable for me because I charge phones on nights so I would need to way disable that, but keeping led on otherthings. I want to led turn green on whatsapp messages and red on missed phone calls etc.
So I need to root phone anyway and open bootloader which will wipe phone anyway so I am asking is there some way to get those two things without losing OTA updates? There was some magisk roms etc. I have never seen before. Could they handle these?
I dont have very good experienses with custom roms and before I bougth this I used Resurection Remix on Oneplus 3t and battery would not even last a day and there was stutter etc. First it was perfect, but did not take many weeks to get bad like all custom roms have allways done which I have tested.
EDIT: If I am correct ElementalX or blu_spark might do the job? Which one could be better? When OTA update comes what I need to do? Download that again and install? Does TWRP disappear on ota or stay on the phone?
I am asking because I soft bricked my old Oneplus 3t twice on updates even It should have been without issues, but that was because of stupid decryption. How can I avoid that this time?
Hey i might have a solution. So on my OP6 I am rooted with magisk, have an unlocked bootloader, running the latest stable pie, stock kernel, and using blu_spark TWRP recovery.
When a new OTA update comes out I update normally through the default settings app. It will tell you that you will lose root, but just ignore that for now. Install the update but DON'T RESTART yet.
After the update is installed, go to magisk, click install, and at the bottom there is an option for patching inactive slot after OTA. Click that, let it do its magic, then it will force you to restart. After the reboot you are now updated but get to keep your root with all your root modules and settings. I find this the best way to update.
Once rooted, enable "Systemless hosts" in Magisk's settings, install AdAway and update the hosts file. Voilà no ads.
The LED can be turned off completely by disabling Settings -> Display -> Blink ligth.

This is also what I do. However if you do so the OTA will override the custom recovery. There are also other ways of applying OTAs that will keep the custom recovery, if you want it. Look in the OP6 forums.

I dont want that. I want the Led to work, but the issue is that I dont want to have battery led , because I sleep in same room where I charge the phone. These Oneplus phones have been allways suffering the issue and I have been using custom roms to fix it, but this time I am looking for some other solutions.

When Android 7.0 ( Nougat ) is finally released for Motorola X Pure (2015) XT1575 ( Hopefully by the end of the year ), will SystemLess Root still work as is it does now for 6.0 or should we wait for someone to run it in a sandbox? Should we wait for the First Quarter of 2017 before we get anxious and upgrade to the newest Android, to give all of the developer time to perfect they're processes.
We all know now that it will be released as a STOCK image, but I have a lot of Root Apps (i.e. Titainium, Backup, Root Explorer, Xposed, Gravity Box for MM, etc) which I would still like to use. From what I can see of 7.0 it's not much different than 6.0 except for split screen and some other features that I'm sure we.re not aware of yet..
All I can say it It doesn't work on the G4... yet. I maintain a root thread on the G4, haven't found a viable way to root it on Nougat, all methods mess up data and a bunch of framework stuff (like settings menu). I assume the Nougat on this will be roughly the same. Don't worry, it will come though.
And Xposed isn't available for Nougat, it isn't known yet if it will be. Remember when Marshmallow came out they almost dropped Xposed completely, they were so close they had actually said they shutting down development of Xposed then had a unexpected breakthrough. The developers of Xposed have said that it will die in the hear future due to changes in Android.
Yeah, xPosed isn't something I would rely on moving forward. Right now AICP & CM are making great strides with N 7.1 and including Root so you can go that route and get the Root you desire. I'm on TurboROM which is still an MM base and will move to AICP N 7.1 once things settle in some more, but as of right now AICP is pretty darn nice as is. I've tested it every few days to see the progress, but for daily, revert to my most current backup of Turbo for now. AICP usually includes a LARGE amount of customizations. I go that route normally and remove all the AOSP stuff I can replace with Google APPs directly and use Moto Camera instead as well giving me a really clean and functional bug-free experience. GravityBox becomes mostly unnecessary with AICP or CM. Boy I'm rambling worse than normal today...
Back on track... Try out AICP with N 7.1 or wait for a Stock Rooted
Thank you for the reply, I wasn't sure if I should upgrade or not.
My pure has been running pretty good since I got it back in May of this year thru SWAPPA, and I have the latest security mod for May 1 (Build MPHS24.49-18-4), I wasn't sure if Lenovo would push another Security update for 6.0 (MM) or push 7.0 for the next update, and I didn't want to mess anything up..
I love this phone, and I'm not sure if and when I will upgrade, but I know it won't be MOTO/LENOVO anymore, unless they can unlock the bootloader for Pixel and gain root, I may lean that way...
NEVER, NEVER, Never will I go the way of the Apple, anything that comes from that place sucks, it's too restrictive..
DROID Forever !!!!!

Pixel bootloader is unlockable. Verizon Pixel has bootloader unlock tool from the Sunshine team free of charge. Also It is rootable via newest SuperSU beta I believe.
I have been unsuccessful at rooting stock nougat, it just gets stuck on the boot animation forever and the battery heats up.
So, has anyone rooted it on nougat 7.0 and how?
Every time I try it just gets stuck loading and since I can't logcat to it I have no idea where its failing, but fastboot flashing the system image and the boot image fixes it, but then I am stuck back at non-root.
I know there has to be a way as many others say they are rooted just fine so I must be missing something.
I have several apps that use root and do system tweaks that would be helpful, mostly battery saving, option enabling, etc... But I can't use any of them for now. I especially wanted to use the undervolt and system governers min max settings.

Yes, lots of people have rooted it... latest TWRP and Magisk, nothing special to do at all... Flash or boot TWRP and flash Magisk zip file, reboot and go.
Unlocked bootloader must have.
1st method:
Boot twrp - fastboot boot twrp3x.img
Do full backup,
Restore boot only,
In twrp install magisk14.zip, optionally wipe cache+dalvik, reboot.
2nd method
...the same steps,
Twrp terminal - type + ok:
echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
Install SuperSu2.82.zip, opt.wipe..., reboot.
Both method works.
I finally find magisk and it worked first time for me.
I tried SuperSU about 10 times in a row, systemless false, systemless true, etc, without it, and it always ended the same way boot loops.
So I am not sure that SuperSu2.82.zip is currently compatible with nougat, or at least with nougat + xt1565 hardware.

SuSu 2.82 is compatible.
Magisk Framework comes with SuperUser built in.. so when you flash another superuser, you mixing Binaries and it doesn't know which one to use.
Need some answers/help...
I was stock, rooted on 8.0....saw a pop-up box yesterday about OTA, didn't think much about since I thought being rooted wouldn't allow the OTA. Have seen the occasional pop-up over maybe the last couple weeks, but I don't normally restart my phone unless it starts to lag or freeze up/run slow. A restart usually fixed that. Was perfectly happy staying on 8.0. I did a shutdown on my phone this evening, and when I restarted it, bam, I'm unrooted on 10 now, specifically, QP1A.190711.020
The phone was bought from Google, unlocked in Oct 2017. I immediately unlocked bootloader and rooted at that time and have been running stock 8.0 since. TWRP and Magisk were used following instructions from the thread here on the forum.
No data was lost after the restart today and 10 seems to be running ok. I did download some data and pictures through my USB-c onto a flashdrive and it did seem to drain my battery FAST while doing it.
What I'd like to know now is how to get root back. I wouldn't mind staying on 10, but if I re-root, will another OTA break my root again? I haven't tried to do a shutdown and a restart again to see what would happen because I'm afraid my phone will brick.
I'm kind of a noob at this, and I don't always understand when you all get technical, but I can follow step-by-step instructions.
First off, how did an OTA actually get through, update and unroot my phone?
And second, can someone point me to step-by-step instructions to re-root my phone on 10, and how do I keep it from happening again?
Thanks for looking and I'd be very appreciative if someone could help me out.
Thank you.
Jim

Same here.
I've got a retail (NON-Verizon) rooted, stock OG Pixel with 8.1 and I've been ignoring the nag to update to 10.
My wife has a retail (NON-Verizon) Pixel 2 that was also stock, rooted 8.1 except she just took the update and asked me about it later.
Both were done with TWRP and Magisk, albeit differing versions.
She's now unrooted at QP1A.191005.007.A1
TWRP v3.2.1-0-walleye is installed.
EDIT: TWRP seems to have been nuked by the OTA upgrade.
I just tried to reboot into TWRP recovery and it's gone.
Magisk Manager app version 5.4.0 (57) + "Latest Magisk Version: v16.0" (I'm pretty sure I rooted via v14.5(1456) though) are present.
"Update Magisk Manager" is nagging about updating /installing MagiskManager-v5.8.2
Root Checker Basic v6.4.6 is also installed.
I'm scared to death to update Magisk or attempt root without some guidance from you fine folks here.
Until then, I'll start having her backup everything she wants to keep in case things go sideways.
I didn't think I was the only one this happened to.
Ok...noticed another issue.
I had Titanium Backup Pro installed. I had several apps frozen before the forced upgrade to 10. Guess what? Those apps are listed as disabled in the app list with no button for re-enabling them. Titanium Backup Pro no longer works because I lost root with the forced update to 10, so I can't unfreeze with Titanium Backup.
Is there any way to unfreeze those apps without re-rooting? Not too sure I even want to attempt to root again.
Also, I haven't shutdown or restarted since the forced update. S3NTYN3L, so you're saying you didn't have any issues restarting/rebooting? Other than TWRP being gone, no other issues?

Correct.
As for "other issues", none that I, or she, have noticed.
Still breathlessly waiting to hear about how I go about re-rooting without data loss.
I have a question. I want to root my phone (upgraded from oreo to pie, stock), but i'm not sure what should i do. Should i use oreo rooting instructions? I can't find any tutorial for rooting on pie. I don't want to change my rom, i just want to have a root and be able do use the magick and modules that's all. It would be nice to have step by step instruction.
I know i have to unlock my bootloader first at htcdev, then install twrp (not sure which twrp and if the installation is same as on oreo?)
In the past i rooted one phone but it was completely different and i almost bricked my device, because some idiot posted wrong link on the forum... There is so many versions of everything and i'm feeling lost in it.
I hope this helps, but Pie is still very new for the HTC U11. Some even are saying that clean flashes of the Pie RUU have flash, camera, and wifi issues. I am currently running the amazing RR-P rom (which is based on pie), but it runs on the latest Oreo RUU. I have no issues with the ROM and I get insane SoT even without battery savings. I am excited for the future of this phone, since I love the hardware navbar (never liked the on-screen one / though my HTC m8 is still a boss, and even the forums there have a very solid Lineage 17.0 (android 10) working on it).
https://dl.twrp.me/ocn/
Above is the official link to the US HTC u11 TWRP recoveries. I don't think (to be safer than sorry) these are 100% compatible over the PIE firmware though.
I checked HTCdev, and it doesn't seem to have any difference in the instructions in unlocking the bootloader. No mention of Nougat or Oreo, so I would assume there's no difference in doing the same with Pie.
I flashed my U11 after Pie update, working fine, no problems with flash, wifi or anything else (CID: HTC__034)
1. Unlock bootloader via htcdev
2. Flash latest TWRP from the official site. Instructions here for example: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
3. Flash Magisk (also from official Magisk site)… that was a little trickier, since TWRP can't mount the encrypted partitions. The workaround is to copy the Magisk ZIP onto an SD Card and flash it from there while in TWRP.
4. Enjoy.
I decided to root this U11 for the first time, since I don't expect any futur software updates coming form HTC.
Thank you for all your help, i'll try this out today. :good:
So i did everything and it's working but i have one problem. After installing magisk i tried to install some modules, and one of them caused bootloop and i was unable to delete it, and also i was unable to install module uninstaller (fail). So i had to do factory reset - any solution to avoid this kind of problems in future?
Also i installed xposed successfully, but none of modules was working..

I have no answers, but as u can see a rooted pie is problematic, hence the many people reverting back to oreo and or nougat, but some people somehow make it work. Not me I could not downgrade quick enough after rooting, unrooted pie worked great, but my many 'need for root apps' did not , so back to oreo for me . Just my 2 cents!! Good luck.

I found many working apps. The biggest problem is "substratum", especially when it comes to changing navbar buttons. But gravitybox is working, and I'm happy with it. Thanks for your help
My rooted Pie works fine, but I didn't install Substratum or Xposed.
Hello! I have had my One plus 7 pro international running for months now, rooted, following this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/guide-bootloader-unlock-twrp-install-t3940368. I had the OTA update notification for quite some time now, but I ignored it because I was lazy. A few weeks ago my phone must have auto updated however, as I started noticing banner ads again that adaway usually blocked, and I have had a few other minor issues like GPS taking longer to connect or find where I am, wifi disconnects, and google not understanding what it usually does. Phone still works just fine, just minor issues I didn't really experience before.
I would like to completely reset the phone to clean it up, and re root and setup TWRP again, but im not sure how to safely do that since my phone was updated improperly (automatically). I have magisk still installed, but the modules dont seem to be working properly. Rebooting to recovery will reboot me to one plus recovery instead of twrp. When I restart is still says my boot loader is unlocked, and some apps (like chase mobile app) still say my phone is rooted. Oxygen updater says im up to date on OxygenOS 10.0.3.gm21aa.
What would be the best option for me to clean everything up, get my root modules working again, and have the phone fully up to date and stable? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
follow the same steps you followed first time. Boot to TWRP flash magisk, No need to factory reset. Flash twrp again if you want and reboot to system
i just updated to latest 10.5.7 Global version via OTA, and before rebooting installed magisk to the inactive slot, and then rebooting resulted in bootloop..
restored to previous slot in fastboot and tried the OTA process again, and resulted in bootloop again..
now i have switched back to the old slot running 10.5.6..
anyone knows why the process resulted in bootloop, and any fix for this?
tia..
[edit]
resolved now..
Probably your mods. I have done same update resulting NO bootloop

thx for the reply.. i dont have any magisk mod installed, apart from magisk itself..
(well theres the built-in systemless host module that i enabled, but i dont think this would cause any trouble as it has been there in the last few updates..)
and the same setup worked fine in the previous 10.5.4, 10.5.5 and 10.5.6 updates..
not sure what went wrong this time..
Try to download update package again. Maybe something broken

already tried twice last night.. i had that doubt as well.. seems quite a few indian users are getting the update fast this time, so i thought maybe the wrong indian version was pushed to my device (global version)?
will try again tonight to see if anything changes.. thx..

Doesn't matter which version you flash. I crossed flashed 3 times from EU to Global and vice versa. No issues.
Maybe you forgot to auto flash Magisk again after installing OTA. It is also recommended to flash Magisk to inactive slot after installing right away "before" reboot.

actually i did remeber to flash magisk to inactive slot after OTA before rebooting.. but seemingly im the only one with this bootloop, so probably certain config in my device caused the issue..
im now in the process of trying the OTA once more, and if this fails again, i shall try to just OTA without patching with maigsk..
if the device then boots, i shall root with magisk from scratch again then..
Strange, and yes must be something system-side. That's why they always say remove modules before flashing OTA or at least disable them. But in my case (only have another font module, iOS smileys and Ktweak) they didn't interfere with the last 2 Ota's. So updating went fine, but i might disable or uninstall them in future OTA's. To avoid such problems you are facing.
You need to uninstall all magisk mods before the update, buy you don't have any installed.
I also believe you need to download the full rom and not incremental. After the update you need to install magisk normally AND also to inactive slot before the reboot.
I haven't installed the latest yet but there previous updates are are installed without issues.
turned out to be a system modification i did back in the 10.5.4 times.. had no problem with it when updating to 10.5.5 & 6, so i totally forgot about its existence.. disabled the mod, updated to 10.5.7, and then enabled the mod again.. now everything is working fine..
Would you mind sharing what it was? I'm about to update and I got some system mods going on that could interfere, and I'm sire I'm forgetting about some too
