I am unlocked + rooted with Magisk. I want to stay that way.
Last time I upgraded from OOS 9.0.1 > 9.0.2 via UI, the upgrade wiped everything and I needed to start from scratch (as if I just got a new phone). Is there a way to make the upgrade seamless without losing everything? I want to upgrade to 9.0.3

Post #3 has the instructions you need
Long story short you need to flash the update via TWRP.

2 questions - why can't I do #6 after #3? Can I?
Also, do I need to do #4 since I have it already installed?

You can't do either thing you want to do there because of the added fun of the OnePlus 6 having A/B partitioning. With A/B partitioning there is no recovery partition, and recovery is now a part of boot. You need to flash TWRP again because the update will overwrite TWRP with stock recovery. And you have to wait til after the reboot to recovery to install magisk so it gets the partitioning right.
Like above.
Flashing ROM Will also flash stock recovery so after ROM you need to flash twrp again,if you reboot without it it's lost.
Also why magisk isn't flashed right away is because: when you choose to reboot to twrp after the twrp flash it Will change slot, this way you Will get magisk on the correct slot.
All this can be done from the OS.
Install the ROM upgrade as usual,don't reboot.
Open magisk app
Search for a module a/b twrp (you Will only find one module) and install it.ndont reboot just yet.
Go to main screen of magisk
Press install, install, install to inactive slot (after OTA). After this install you can reboot.
Both works, I find the twrp way to be more convenient
I don't about stable i am on open beta 10 i root every beta without twrp using patch boot image i got update every time around 1.5 GB because i am rooted after update i just lose root everything same before update phone not wipe anything
I upgraded vom 9.0.1 to 9.0.3 by
- Downloading the full 9.0.3
- Copy them to the sdcard root directory
- Update via settings / manual update - DO NOT REBOOT
- Reinstall Magisk into inactive slot with Magisk Manager
- Reboot
Works. But Magisk 18 MagiskHide does not work properly on my OP6, so I had to downgrade to Magisk 17.2.
- Download latest TWRP BluSpark .img, Magisk 18 uninstaller, Magisk 17.2
- Copy uninstaller and Magisk 17.2 to sdcard root
- Reboot into Fastboot
- Boot into TWRP by fastboot boot <name of TWRP BluSpark .img file)
- flash uninstaller
- flash Magisk 17.2
- Clear Dalvik cache
- Reboot and setup Magisk (settings in Magisk manager regarding Hide and root permissions were lost).
- Uninstall duplicate Magisk Manager 6.1.x (not compatible with Magisk 17.2).

I do not have TWRP installed, it is basically not necessary as OOS can be updated with the settings/manual update tool and Magisk can be reinstalled via Magisk manager.
I had to use TWRP solely to downgrade to Magisk 17.2 from Magisk 18 as this cannot be done with Magisk Manager. But for that purpose, it's enough to temporarly make TWRP available via fastboot boot command without permanently installing it.
If you have TWRP and want to keep it, that easy process doesn't work to upgrade the OS.

So magisk installs to the opposite partition you're currently booting from? Only reason I ask is because previously, I missed the second reboot before installing magisk and the phone wouldn't boot (long boot logo and eventual automatic restart to recovery). Ultimately, I just permanently installed twrp and was going to wait till the weekend to try root again in case there were issues. I'm currently booting from slot A. How do I install magisk now in recovery? Should I be in slot A or B in recovery for install? Or can I now just do it from magisk manager? Thanks for the info.

I am not entirely sure if it does or not, but again the A/B partitioning puts things in the boot partition instead of the partitions you are used to. Installing TWRP changes the boot partition, so you need to reload that boot partition before installing magisk will work right.

I guess I'll just try this upcoming weekend to install magisk via the manager inside Android. I'll try to remember to report back. Thanks for the help.

As promised, I'm writing back with my findings. I believe some enabled module in magisk was the issue. What I did was uninstall magisk 18 with the latest uninstaller. Thinking it was V18 itself that was the problem, I then proceeded to install v17.3 on both slots (reboot to recovery in betweene). This worked and booted! It started to occur to me that I had not disabled any of my modules before installation of the rom/magisk. This is a big mistake as a lot of magisk modules are still using old formatting and cause new installations to fail if left enabled. Since an uninstall also disables all modules, I believe using 17.3 was not necessarily the solution but rather either disabling modules before an install, or uninstalling whatever version magisk was installed to begin with (which essentially disables/uninstalls those modules anyway). After installing 17.3 and getting it to boot, I just updated via magisk manager to v18 with no issues to speak of! Now comes the part where I need to remember all the installed modules I had and test them one by one.
For uninstallation of modules in twrp, you can use https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-tool-magisk-manager-recovery-mode-t3693165 Or https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72542167&postcount=242&nocache=1

Hey guys, so i had weird problem (status bar not visible after unlocking device) when updating my phone to 9.5.8. so i decided to flash the rom again to see if the issue goes away. I am rooted and unlocked and everything was working fine (apart from the status bar). I tried this method:
1. Downloaded the 9.5.8 update from Oxygen Updater (DONT REBOOT)
2. Went to Settings\System\System Update and click on the wheel on upper right corner.
3. Select Local Upgrade, then install the update (DONT REBOOT)
*DO NOT REBOOT after applying the update.
4. Launch Magisk, and click the first "install"
5. Choose the "Install to inactive slot (OTA)" option
6. Reboot once completed
On step 6 it failed, i rebooted directly into the Oneplus recovery and not TWRP. So i tried fastboot boot twrp.img and flash the installer. After that i rebooted the device and now it goes directly into twrp but without decryption, it wont ask for my PIN and i get the screen "Unmodified System Partition. Keep System Read only? Installing zips or performing adb operations may still modify the system partition." On the bottom i can "swipe to allow modifications", which i swipe to allow but i can't access any files on my phone, and that is my dead end. Help would be much appreciated.
I also tried flashing Magisk and also Magisk Uninstaller (uninmod wasn't found).
Also tried command "twrp decrypt password" in the Terminal and got "Failed to decrypt data"

So to be clear: right now, you have access to twrp but not the data partition (twrp does not prompt you to decrypt), and when you reboot to system from, you are bounced back to twrp. Right?

Yes, but i got frustrated and as i had done a Titanium Backup i just wiped everything on stock recovery and flashed the latest rom with twrp. Is there a clear instruction on how to update the rom when rooted? I just don't want it to happen again.

Don't mess with stock recovery if you already have TWRP and Magisk aboard.
Here's how to update to 9.5.9 (or whatever) when it arrives:
- download your 3 zips: the latest full ota ROM, the latest Magisk, and the latest TWRP installer.
- boot to TWRP recovery
flash the ROM and TWRP installer
- reboot to TWRP recovery
flash Magisk
wipe dalvik
- reboot to system
There's a possibility after these steps and you're happily on the ROM, you might find that you're not rooted (it's more likely on a custom ROM than OOS). In which case you just reboot to recovery and flash Magisk, and then reboot to system. Done.
Discussion:
If you want a clean flash, you'd simply do a TWRP factory reset (standard wipe) instead of wiping dalvik.
Consider flashing both slots (A and B) whenever you update OOS, for two reasons. First, you don't have to keep track of which slot has which version of OOS should you flash a custom ROM or kernel with a specific version of OOS required as a base. The second reason is more compelling: the way the data partition changes encryption every update has obviated the reason for A/B slots, in that if newly updated B changes data encryption upon boot and then something happens, you cannot revert to A because A can't read the new data encryption. So the solution is to update both A and B at the same time so both slots use the same encryption and can both access the data partition.
Or like me, run the device decrypted (i. e. without forced encryption).
Good luck
Flashing magisk patched boot img to gain root access isn't working on OxygenOS 9.5.6. After flashing magisk patched boot and rebooting to the system, the message" Your phone was restarted and needs to be unlocked" is shown on the lock screen and the system restarts immediately. Then the lock screen password is requested and then goes to OnePlus recovery. If I reboot from the recovery to the system, the message mentioned above is shown and reboot to the recovery again. How can I fix the issue without wiping any data?
Is the patched boot img from 9.5.6 ?
Yes. I extracted it from OTA zip and patched it via Magisk.
Have you tried this or this? Still waiting for 9.5.6 to land.

EDIT : Tried getting the OTA thru Oxygen Updater and applying via System > Updates. However, the update always fails at 11%. Anyone experienced this?
EDIT2 : The 9.5.6 incremental OTA is ~120MB, however Oxygen Updater says that if the phone is rooted then it only supports a FULL update (~2GB). Is this the problem? Can I still do the incremental OTA update despite being rooted, as per this post ?

These would be the basic steps to install magisk:
1. Boot to fastboot
2. Boot to twrp (get it from the official twrp page)
Code:
fastboot boot recoveryname.img
3. Flash twrp installer (it'll be a zip, you can find it in the twrp official page)
4. Reboot to recovery (twrp)
5. Flash Magisk
But since you effed up with the patched boot image, perform upto steps 4, then
5. Flash OOS (latest or whichever you like)
6. Flash twrp installer
7. Reboot to recovery (twrp)
8. Flash Magisk
9. Reboot to system
10. Profit.

Just download the full rom and flash it using twrp. Without rebooting, flash twrp installer so as to keep twrp. Now reboot to twrp, flash magisk. And then reboot to system. Voila!

Got it. On OOS 9.5.5, I used a magisk module "OOS native call recorder" and may be it blocks the OOS booting into system ui. Now I factory reset my 1+7 and root successfully via patched boot.
Hi all,
update: I made update at the end.
My OP7 version is GM1900, so far I was on build 10.0.6GM57BA with Magisk 20.4, but for some time I had 10.0.8 update notification.
Today I decided to update build.
I consider myself as medium experienced user the type that is using rather step by step guides.
But this time I thought I don't need guide cause I should remember how I did update last time. In the meantime I help my son to make homework what was an additional distraction.
I always download full OTA from oneplus.com support but it turned out there was no 10.0.8 (instead there was/is 10.0.7). So I tried to search for 10.0.8 and I found this xda news. As there is a mess with versions and links and I was doing it on mobile Chrome I accidentally tapped Global/India Full OTA
Steps I made:
1.1. Downloading file OnePlus7Oxygen_14.P.29_OTA_029_all_2009152124_ba2424a.zip
1.2. Downloading official TWRP twrp-installer-3.4.0-0-guacamole.zip
1.3. Boot into TWRP.
1.4. Flash twrp-installer-3.4.0-0-guacamole.zip
1.5. Restart to TWRP
1.6. Flash magisk uninstall
1.7. Flash 10.3.5 (India & Global) - OnePlus7Oxygen_14.P.29_OTA_029_all_2009152124_ba2424a.zip
1.8. Flash magisk 20.1 (but forgot to reboot after flashing TWRP it was first mistake I think)
1.9. Ended with 10.3.5 (India & Global) build with stock recovery and without Magisk.
Next I tried to return to GM57BA.
Then the steps I made:
2.1. Downloading official build 10.0.7.GM57BA from oneplus support site.
2.2. Downloading Mauronofrio's TWRP twrp-3.4.0-0-guacamole-unified-Q-mauronofrio.img and twrp-3.4.0-0-guacamole-unified-installer-mauronofrio.zip
2.3. Boot OP7 into fastboot then command "fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0-0-guacamole-unified-Q-mauronofrio.img"
2.4. After phone booted into TWRP I flashed twrp-3.4.0-0-guacamole-unified-installer-mauronofrio.zip
2.5. Restart to TWRP
2.6. Flashed magisk uninstall.
2.7. Flashed 10.0.7.GM57BA
2.8. Flashed magisk 20.4
2.9. Only then I rebooted to TWRP (I think it was mistake).
2.10. Then I saw first problem - there was no lockscreen security with TWRP (unlock pattern).
2.11. Restarted to TWRP again - the same no unlock pattern screen, no access to data partition
2.12. I started to panic and restarted into system.
2.13. I ended with hard bootloop - I mean I can't even do force reset (force reboot) by pressing and holding the Power and Volume down buttons at the same time :crying:
I'm sorry for this long description but I thought it will be helpful to diagnose what I messed up.
Questions and my thoughts:
1. Did I messed up by not restarting after last magisk flash?
2. What to do now? Do I need to wait for battery discharge? Then unbrick using MSM tool?
3. Is there any chance to repair and preserve personal data? I have TWRP backup about 3 months old. Maybe after battery discharge I should go to TWRP and then sideload this backup? Maybe magisk uninstall or stock boot image flash?
Please help
Update:
After battery discharge I managed to boot into TWRP recovery (Mauronofrio's 3.4.0.0)
Then couldn't access /data
But when I switched to Slot B and reboot to recovery situation is back to normal (I guess).
I'm still in recovery scared to boot into system.
What to do now?

To force restart I need to use power button and both volume keys..
To keep TWRP you need to flash rom, then without restart flash TWRP again, then restart TWRP, then flash Magisk.
Likely the r reason why your system doesn't boot is because it can't decrypt your data.
Why this happens I don't know, maybe in the upgrade they changed something related to the exception and then by downgrading again it isn't able to read it anymore.
I would suggest to:
Flash the latest rom.
Flash TWRP
Reboot TWRP
If TWRP then doesn't ask for PIN or password, then I'm afraid you have lost your data. I hope you have a backup.
I'm that case format (not just clear) data -> yes
Reboot TWRP
Then flash Magisk.
Thanks for reply.
Like I wrote in update after changing slot to b I managed to run TWRP with decrypted data, made even new new backup.
I also restarted into system and it occurs I'm still 10.3.5 (India & Global) GM57AA, so everything I flashed in with build 10.0.7.GM57BA was unsuccessful.
I think I messed with changing inactive slot procedure. Noob mistake I need to read about it.

I would suggest do restore your device with msm unbrick tool.
1. From recovery, turn off (i noticed, that when tried to turn off from somewhere else, the device would auto reboot later in downlaod mode)
2. In windows, turn off the connection & open device manager: Get this driver http://download.windowsupdate.com/c..._fba473728483260906ba044af3c063e309e6259d.cab
3. Press volume/down + volume/up, after about 5s connect to pc
4. Your device should show up in device manager, open it and install the driver manuell from step 2 (keep device options open... if fail you need to uninstall the driver before trying again)
5. Now wait for about 40s, if your device stays in download mode, you can open & start the msm tool (leave the options in msm as they are)
6. It will take about 280s, then the device will reboot.... (its normal that it stays longer at the oneplus logo at first start)
MSM Thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7/how-to/op7-unbrick-tool-to-restore-device-to-t3954325
I've also uploaded the 10.0.5OOS Unbrick tool on mega, because android file hosted downloads are so terrible: https://mega.nz/file/ArZFkYpS#Z_rOIwZeYN27IG6L8rOi-yfw8wXGiwvK-uWVDlsmvTI
So this happened a couple minutes ago, i prepared my op7pro to update to the latest version available.
Here are the steps i took:
- Made a backup of the apps via Titanium Backup
- Removed all Magisk modules
- Downloaded the latest firmware via Oxygen Updater
- Moved it to root directory
- Checked the firmware via settings -> System Updates
- DID NOT INSTALL IT
- Went back to Masigk, installed the module "TWRP A/B Retention Script ", did not reboot
- Magisk again -> Install Magisk (install to inactive slot)
- Rebooted, and it stuck on the loading screen, i waited half an hour but kept stuck. So i decided to to reboot using the POWER BUTTON + ARROW UP Combination.
- Accessed TWRP via POWER BUTTON + ARROW DOWN Combination.
And here, is when i panicked. NO ACCESS TO THE INTERNAL STORAGE. I don't care about any data i have, i make backups, but i might **** my pants if i bricked the internal storage partition or something else. Right now i'm downloading the Fastboot roms, and the MSM Guac for All.
Which version of fastboot rom should i choose?
Additional Information:
- TWRP : 3.4.0.0 by mauronofrio
- Oneplus 7 pro EUROPE
- Bootloader Unlocked
EDIT: I was able to fix the partition using TWRP WIPE Data -> Format Data -> Reboot to Recovery
EDIT2: Flashed the firmware that i downloaded via the official Oneplus website via TWRP and it's working again.
I wouldn't have made the post if it wasn't for the partition problem, i've been flashing roms since the G1, this is embarassing. Anyways this issue has been SOLVED.

I see the mistakes you made,
You need to remove module then install OOS
Don't reboot, install retention then install magisk to inactive slot. Reboot.

Yes, thanks for taking the time, i forgot to install OOS that's what happened. I managed to fix it now. Thanks again
So you know this would be considered soft brick. Hard brick is no life no edl without test points. Just for clarification on the future
