Upgrade to OOS 5.1.6 from 5.1.5 using unofficial TWRP

I am using the Oos 5.1.5 and running unofficial TWRP 3.2.1-0 (i think, but sure its the unofficial build). I am rooted using magisk 16.4.
I want to upgrade to oos 5.1.6 using the zip file and also be rooted and also upgrade to twrp official version for oneplus 6 (if its better than unofficial).
So i want to upgrade to oos 5.1.6 using the twrp through the oos zip file.
If its possible please guide me. Btw i dont want to lose twrp or root or magisk......
Thank you in advance.....

I have upgraded my device using vpn for my phone now frequently freezes after so.e time of usage. I need to than power off and on the phome again.

You will lose twrp, root and magisk when you upgrade - it is unavoidable because of how the A/B partitions work. However , it's easy to get back.
There are multiple how-to guides in the Guides forum. Here's one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/how-to-update-oos-5-1-6-install-t3801822

Just download the full zip locally. Flash it in twrp. Boot into fastboot. Flash twrp boot img through adb command which boots you into temporary official twrp. Then flash the official OP5 twrp zip which your can find through Google. Reflash magisk.

Updating to 9.0.2 on a rooted device

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.

Losing TWRP and Magisk after update

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?

Can't root after full 9.0.4 installation

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?

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

you should flash twrp again after step 4, otherwise you will face yourself in stock recovery and you won't be able to flash magisk afterwards.

Had the same issue. You have to be on a TWRP meant for android Q.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/how-to-flash-twrp-magisk-android-10-t3988213
Follow this guide for TWRP, if it doesn't boot after using the slightly different ADB command they have, flash 9.0.9, do a local upgrade to A10 through OOS updater, then boot into the TWRP I linked, and then optionally (not neccessary, but going to 10 from 9 without a clean install felt wrong for me), do a clean install of A10 by doing wipe cache, data, and system, and then installing/flashing the A10 zip.
Once installed, don't reboot to system yet, instead see what A/B slot you're in, switch to the other slot that you're not in currently (maybe you have to boot to system first, and then reboot into android 10 twrp through ADB if that doesn't work), and flash magisk and reboot to system. I'm not sure if step #8 is neccesary, but if it is and your device isn't booting, boot into TWRP through ADB and switch into the other A/B slot.

if i am using blu_spark extras v9.107 (A10 support) i will not run into any problems i hope.
when updating in Pie, i usualy will disable all magisk modules before updating, did you do that for updating to 10?

Yes, I always uninstall Magisk when flashing any OTA update.

Just to be clear, you used TWRP 3.3.1-x blu_spark v9.107 from the Github link? I ask only because I currently have TWRP 3.2.3-x blue_spark and I want to make sure that the 3.3.1-x is for Android 10.

I only use busybox module and never disabled it while updating,but i suppose it will be safe to disable the magisk modules to be safe

Yes use "twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.107_op6.zip"

To be honest, we now got to the point where it's as simple as "Just use the latest Blu.Spark TWRP and do as usual" haha, everything works as it should now !

Thanks for the tutorial.
It's works.

So I need to update from 9.0.2 before following the tutorial or can I jump straight to 10.0.1?

Any recommendations for stable oos 10 rom?

Haven't flashed yet but I've heard magisk 20.1 doesn't work and Android 10, is it working for anyone here?

Currently on Oos 10.0.1 with magisk 20.1 with no issues whatsoever.
Did standard dirty flashing with blu spark twrp 9.107.
Tapatalk'ed over the intertubes from my awesome enchilada

So i tried to follow the guide, but after i installed the full OOS rom, then install TWRP again, it said unsupported android version, and it went downhill from there... I ended using msmtool to recover, maybe it's cuz i used a 10.0.1 rom?
