phone has lost root issue - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

I used magisk on my phone for roots right but it has lost roots. I tried to go into recovery to reinstall magisk but recovery isnt booting, when it select advanced it gives me fastboot or recovery options but when I select recovery its goes back to the start again. I have tried to reinstall TWRP using this method
https://www.xda-developers.com/official-twrp-oneplus-6-huawei-p20-pro/
but I then get a crash dump window.
Please can I get some advice how to proceed?
Thanks

Make sure you're using 3.2.3, anything prior to that is not for Android Pie. If you updated your OS that is more than likely the reason you lost root. Make sure that you download TWRP.img and fastboot through the image before you try to install TWRP permanently

Aha! I did wonder but I followed the guide to the letter as I thought I might brick the phone if I risked the other imgs. I did sort it by using a different TWP file.

Good deal glad you got everything working.

I'm on stock android 10 and I have accepted an update I was offered yesterday. It seems everytime I update I have an issue rooting and installing TWRP (last month I was bricked), maybe because I use the last TWRP version I have before the update (currently twrp-3.3.1-1-enchilada). What is the correct process for installing TWRP and rooting again with Magisk? Do I need to get a TWRP update each time?

You have to install the latest one (3.3.18).
Reboot fastboot, type fastboot boot 'recoveryname'.img, once time you are in twrp flash the installer from the inside. Reboot to recovery again and flash magisk.
When you need to update you have two ways:
1 download the full ROM zip and place it in your main storage folder (sd card);
Update via local update but don't reboot;
Open magisk and download and install twrp a/b retention script and don't reboot yet;
Go in the magisk main page and install it as installation in the inactive slot (after OTA);
Reboot and enjoy.
2 download the full zip;
Reboot in twrp;
Flash rom + twrp installer;
Reboot to recovery;
Flash magisk;
Reboot and done.

I installed twrp on my pixel on 7.1.1 it reboots to tarp again I got it to boot to the p.s. by clicking reboot / a on bottom left option but get error codes and can't open a lot of apps. I tried to install a tom and clear device cache and cause fails. Anyone know how I can fix this. I thought I used all the latest files

Did you fastboot boot into TWRP, then flash twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.0.2-0-RC1.zip? Were you stock prior?
Installed img through pc then installed the zip file with twrp. I found a article here stating I need to flash stock ing to get back to normal

Yes, you are not supposed to install twrp, just boot into it. If you install it by mistake, you go back, flash stock boot.img, and do it again.
This is from Dees_Troy's post located here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/development/twrp-alpha1-pixel-devices-t3500314
Installation:
If you already have TWRP installed: Download the latest zip and install the zip using TWRP.
If you do not already have TWRP installed: Download both the img and the zip. Copy the zip to your device. You will need to have fastboot binaries and the correct drivers installed. Power off your device completely. Hold volume down and turn on the device. Your device should now be in the bootloader. Connect the device to your PC. Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:
fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img
This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. If you are using a lockscreen pin/pattern/password and do not get prompted to enter your passord, reboot to the bootloader and try again. Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. If you are currently rooted with SuperSU, you will need to reflash the stock boot image before installing TWRP. After installing the stock boot image, follow the instructions for installing TWRP. Once TWRP is installed, grab the very latest SuperSU released on 2015-11-15 or later and install SuperSU.
If you accidently flash TWRP to your device using fastboot instead of temporarily booting the image, you will need to download the latest factory image for your device and reflash the boot image.
@Tulsadiver First off, thanks for the post on this. I installed TWRP to slot A by accident and am finding myself in this same predicament (though I found that I can boot by switching to slot B). I found another post online that mentioned what you commented on, specifically:

Having previously downloaded Oreo 8.1 and setup root, I had loaded into TWRP, went to install, selected the TWRP zip, and installed (as per what you had suggested and what I read earlier). This is what led me to the current problem, making me realize that I'm missing something in the description. Now, I likely don't need to flash TWRP (I don't develop and used flashfire to do upgrades) but my last upgrade left me rootless and I felt having it installed would make life a little easier. I was hoping to ask for a clarification on the TWRP install.

Things have changed with 8.1. you have to root with magisk. From slot b you cannot fastboot flash boot_a boot.img?
I believe the instructions now are to boot to TWRP, install TWRP pixel installer zip, then flash Magisk zip
Here is where TWRP files are here

I hadn't tried yet. I was worried about messing things up further without asking for help online first. I'll give this a shot later. Does boot.img refer to the android image file? (ie: what I'd download from the OTA site?)

Yes, the zip file that is located where the flash-all.bat is. Unzip it and flash the boot.img.
I bought a Pixel 2 on swappa. It had different bootloader's on slot a and slot b. I couldn't flash updates when on slot a. I thought I was hosed but from slot b I could flash to slot a so now I'm fine. Slot a had a preview bootloader.

Oneplus 7 Pro can install updates anymore

Hello xda-comunity
I'm unable to install the oxygenos update 9.5.8 GM21BA
So I was following this guide to unlock my bootloader and root my phone with magisk.
( https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.xda-developers.com/unlock-bootloader-root-oneplus-7-pro/amp/ )
All went well. I got the notification that there is a new update (see above)
In the guide there was a step - by - step instruction on how to update the phone and keep root. I did that.
And now when try to install the update I get a bootloop into recovery. I figured out that the op7pro is a 2 slot phone ( slot a, slot b) and when I install a update it sets the for example slot b (where the update is installed) as default.
So when something goes wrong it just loads up the "previous" slot (in this example slot a) as default again and says that the update failed to install. Correct me if I'm wrong .
And now to the my problem, the phone doesn't load on slot b nor does it default back to slot a, instead I get a recovery bootloop when I'm in slot b.
The fix here is to flash twrp via fastboot and load slot a again, my phone then boots up like normal.
And here is the problem I can't install the update because I probably messed up slot b.
I know it's a long post and I appreciate every possible answer. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick response I will try that as soon as I'm home from work. How do I find the ota? Can I download it? Or is it saves in a folder on the phone? Because I downloaded it like 3 times now.

You can drag the files back into the root of your phone and flash them on the other slot. You could ADB fastboot but just dragging the zips to your phone is easier in my opinion.

Sorry if Iam stupid but is that how it works?
I flash the zips on slot a then reboot to boot into slot b to flash it there again?
Because I dont get it, am I missing something here?
Edit: Seems like I Bootloop into recovery on slot b.

Yes you flash on both slots. If youve already flashed both then flash magisk and reboot to system. It should take about 10min to boot so dont worry.
Edit: If youre getting a bootloop or having bugs then follow this https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-f to get back to stock international
Then follow https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...nt/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322 then flash Magisk and reboot
This is ONLY if you cannot get it to boot after updating

Ok but how do i do that when slot b is empty?
I dont know how to put files on slot b.
When I switch slots I have to reboot.

Alright i flashed the ROM new
Was able to install the newest ota just perfect.
Kept it unrooted, I think I'm gonna let it unrooted because of all the work I have to do Everytime a new ota comes (maybe later when the phone is older)
Thank you so much for your help.

Oneplus 7 Pro Bootloot

Hello, So i tried to install GPS joystick privacy mode app as a system app first thru titanium backup then ..., i rebooted and now im on boot loop, what do i do?
Any help is appreciated, Thanks
{Mod edited}
Hold Power + vol up + vol down for several seconds should put you in bootloader. Or alteranately, Power+vol down for several seconds should send you to TWRP if you have it installed. From there, I'm thinking you may need to flash the stock ROM again, since you were messing with the system partition, and the phone is not booting now. Either flash stock ROM in TWRP, or use the fastboot stock ROM.
I didn't have twrp installed and i still dont, i patched the boot image with magisk and all i have is root cause i cant seem to keep TWRP installed after 9.5.3, im currently on 10.3.0

You should be able to fastboot flash stock boot.img from the fastboot ROMs to get the phone running again: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424
This will unroot the phone. But you should be able to easily root again by the method you did originally.
What is the problem you are having with installing TWRP? You haven't specifically described how you tried to install. I've had no issues using the TWRP installer zip, after multiple updates.
You need to re flash stock so, boot lastest twrp (fastboot boot twrp.img) and flash lastest stock rom.
And if you need an app as system use magisk module App Systemizer (you also need busybox module and Termux app from playstore) this is the only way (that I known) to convert user apps to system

tried that first part too, cant get into twrp and that makes sense now, i installed busy box but never opened the app to install to system/xbin
here's how ive done my part so far.. ever since i bricked my device last feb 24 , rendering it totally unresponsive.. that not even vol up & power button dont work
1. had to use msm tool just to boot my device. successfully boot my device to 9.5.3
2. device seemed to have a locked bootloader again so i un.lock it again. downloaded a patched 9.5.3 boot.img and flashed it via fastboot
3. successful root confirmed..
4. downloaded twrp 3.3.1-75 unofficial installer.. about 17.5mb. flashed it thru magisk as a module.. then install magisk ( as recommended) then reboot.
5. after a reboot.. and setting it up to my liking,, i reboot to twrp to flash the latest 10.3.1 stable rom..
6. flash twrp installer again.
7. hit reboot then choose Recovery . phone reboot to recovery again
8. flash magisk.zip which i downloaded earlier. then reboot.
done
updated to 10.3.1 with magisk & twrp intact..
btw.. i really dont know how to force my phone to reboot to twrp via PC ADB fastboot command.. easiest way for me to install TWRP is by flashing the TWRP INSTALLER as magisk module

That is because that is NOT the correct way to install TWRP img. You need to fastboot boot TWRP, then once in TWRP flash the TWRP installer zip, as I already mentioned.
This is described in the TWRP dev's thread (and you will see no mention of fastboot flash TWRP).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...nt/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322
Also make sure you use a current version of TWRP (latest is unofficial -76) which you can get from the above link.

Can't update with root

Hello there.
i posted this post and asked how to update with root.
i did all the below but my phone was wiped, and the whole storage of phone was gone.
now i have another update and i dont want it to happen again, so someone please can help me and tell me how the hell can i update with root?
i found this tutorial but i dont know if its good or not because its old post.
Help me please!
Here's mine...
1. Download a full 2gb+ rom from oneplus updater
2. Once finished, install it via settings / system / system update / gear icon / local update..
3. Wait till it says 100% installed and is now asking you to reboot the phone
4. Do not reboot, instead, hit the back button.. go to magisk manager, hit install / install to inactive slot . Then reboot.
5. After a reboot, you will still be rooted but lose your twrp.. so install TWRP VIA magisk..
6. After TWRP is installed, it will say, unrooted phone. So install MAGISK AGAIN via direct install, then reboot..

All the specified installes that I am supposed to do, for example the installation of TWRP through MAGISK, should this solve my problem and after the restart I actually stay with both MAGISK and TWRP or should I do something/download and install something from beginning? I will now try to do it again in the hope that this time it will work.

what should i do if i have custom kernel and not stock?

Here's mine...
1. Download a full 2gb+ rom from oneplus updater
2. Once finished, install it via settings / system / system update / gear icon / local update..
3. Wait till it says 100% installed and is now asking you to reboot the phone
4. Do not reboot, instead, hit the back button.. go to magisk manager, hit install / install to inactive slot . Then reboot.
5. After a reboot, you will still be rooted but lose your twrp.. so install TWRP VIA magisk..
6. After TWRP is installed, it will say, unrooted phone. So install MAGISK AGAIN via direct install, then reboot..
Do 1-6 update... If you want a custom kernel like RZ kernel
Proceed to step
7. After having twrp installes, reboot to twrp, then flash a custom kernel of your liking..
8. Then reboot phone..

find the flash-all for your update the full one and goto fastboot do update that way or use payload dump to decompress the payload to flash just download flash-all

1. Download full update via 'oxygen updater' app
2. Go to settings/system/system update/ gear icon
/local update and hit 'update'
3. After it's installed - do not reboot - go to Magisk/
downloads and find TWRP A/B retention script and
install it - do not reboot
4. Go to Magisk (home icon) install/ direct install - do
not reboot
5. After that, again Magis /install /install to inactive
slot (after OTA)
6. Reboot
After everything is done, install kernel or whatever - check in that specific thread for install instructions

Hmm.. ive forgotten if you can download the full rom via system updater if you're phone has root access.
I didnt bother too. I always download a full update via oxygen updater.. then install it via system updater.. then install magisk to inactive slot, reboot, install twrp via magisk, then install magisk using direct install option, then reboot to twrp.. flash my favorite rz kernel, then reboot :laugh:

It seems so easy, but it's exactly what I did before and just deleted my whole phone, everything from everything. It was not even WIPE, it was a total erasure of all internal memory

Back up your device and try again, maybe everything will be alright, if not - I'm not sure how to help you

Issues getting root back after Android 11 Update OP6

Hey, after installing android 11 on my Oneplus 6 I have servere issues on getting root back.
Both methods I used result in a stuck boot.
Method 1: fastboot boot twrp, then install magisk.zip (tried with both 21.4 (last with a zip) and the renamed 23.0 (from apk to zip)
Method 2: Extracted boot.img from my OTA update, then patched with magisk 23.0.
Flashed the new boot.img -with fastboot -with twrp both result in a stuck boot.
Suprisingly flashing the extracted boot.img from the OTA boots fine, but that image is without magisk
Update: I have extracted the boot.img directly from the phone, patched it and it still doesn't work
I've also tried fastboot boot twrp with a variety of versions of twrp after upgrading to 11.1.1.1 but with no success.
If someone could recommend a verified way to root a op6 with 11.1.1.1 I'd appreciate it

twrp actually works, but after flashing magisk or flashing a magisk boot.img it breaks. I have a working version here
Ping me if you get magisk working
I can confirm the TWRP-3.5.2-enchilada-Nebrassy-2.img run on my OP6 without any issue and allowed my to install the latest magisk, giving me a fully functioning root for my 11.1.1.1 ROM. Thanks for the help
To remember!

Which installation method of magisk did you use?
How long did you wait after first boot?
I downloaded the full 11.1.1.1 ROM as I was upgrading from a previous rooted 10.3.x version. I placed this file in the phones root directory and use the "local upgrade" feature.
When that completed I rebooted the phone a few times just to make sure everything was working as expected. I usually waited 1-2 minutes before rebooting every time.
Next I placed the latest magisk version file into the root of the phone rebooted into the bootloader and performed fastboot boot TWRP-3.5.2-enchilada-Nebrassy-2.img which booted into the TWRP as expected. Then I installed the magisk.zip and rebooted the phone into a nice newly rooted magisk environment. Tbh I didn't wait anymore 10-20 seconds to reboot after installing magisk while in TWRP.
I hope that's helpful for you

Thanks for the reply, as a last question: Which magisk version did you use (could you link i?t). I assume you took the magisk v23 apk and renamed it to .zip? or what did you do?
Yes. I used the latest canary build of magisk and simply renamed it to magisk.zip

Hmm, I perfectly copied your instructions and still get a bootloop. Even reflashed 11.1.1.1 again. Might be time for a reset
Do you actually get a bootloop or it just gets stuck in the unlocked bootloader warning screen?
Mine hangs there for several minutes before booting, I reflashed several times because of it but all I had to do is wait.

I leave the "bootloader unlocked" screen and the rotating "circle" animation plays. I even can connect via adb logcat to see the boot logs (but I do not understand them, though they clearly loop)
is there a zip version of TWRP-3.5.2-enchilada-Nebrassy-2 available that I can flash or can i flash the standard twrp latest zip after booting in to the nebrassy recovery so that it is permanant recovery?
Also can I flash the latest 23 relase of magisk or does it have to be the canary?
I was able to successfully boot in to the nebrassy recovery but i don't want to get in to a permanent bootloop if the standard twrp zip will break things after flashing or the stable relase of magisk will get me in to a bootloop
Thanks @UraniumDonut !

The twrp image should have a button in twrp called "install current twrp to recovery" or similar. With magisk I cannot help you as I have bootloops with every version of magisk , but @Thratchen had success with the canary version (I didn't)

Try to flash the full update zip with twrp, it will flash to both partitions, then try to flash latest magisk renamed apk in twrp.

Thanks, I’ll try. A few questions:
Wipe dalvik after flash?
Boot into system or instant flash magisk?
Wipe dalvik after magisk?
Which magisk?(canary or 23.0)?
Thanks!

Thhank @UraniumDonut - that worked - I have never before used that method and honestly didn't even know about it. I use the official documented twrp way which is to first fastboot in to twrp and then install the zip file which has to be located on the phone file system. This method seems a lot easier!
As to magisk, I usually flash that from twrp using the zip file method and never have had any issues. But with all the issues surrounding oos 11 I am playing it safe as I don't want to get in to a boot loop. Will do some more research before I try something. But thanks to you I have made 1 step forward progress!

I wiped
No need to boot first
Wiping once is enough
I'm using 23
I did not install twrp at all, just booted it, flashed Ota and magisk and reboot.

I'm out of ideas. I followed your guide exactly.
Flashed 11.1.1.1 OTA.zip
The log said "installing to inactive slot _b, reboot recovery to flash more zips"
I wiped dalvik,
I rebooted into recovery slot b (I didnt boot into system)
I installed magisk 23.0 APK renamed to zip. It installed into slot b.
I did not wipe dalvik.
I rebooted into system.
I still get a stuck boot (OnePlus circles rotating)
Bonus: after "fastboot flash boot stock_boot.img" it boots fine (but no root)
I never installed TWRP, just "fastboot boot TWRP"
I understand nothing
Just for reference here
