I cannot for the life up me update my One Plus 7 Pro from 9.5.3 to 9.5.6 with root/unlock. I've tried the Magisk install to other slot method, tried flashing in twrp, tried full OTA, tried re-installing twrp to both slots after flashing. Basically tried all the 6T methods.
How the hell do you do this? What am I doing wrong?
Not sure what you're doing wrong but what I can do is tell you my steps:
- Upgrade via stock OnePlus Updater inside system settings
- Make sure it downloads the full OTA (over 1GB file size) if you are rooted
- Let it update
- Flash the TWRP retention script found in the Magisk repo if you have TWRP and would like to keep it
- Install Magisk to inactive slot from the main screen in Magisk Manager
-Reboot and profit
Couple things to keep note of
- Uninstall all Substratum overlays before doing this
- Optional: remove lockscreen security
Personally I don't remove lockscreen security but I do uninstall Substratum overlays and I never have issues.
Anyone know how to root if I'm already on 9.5.6?

You can flash the Magisk installer zip in TWRP, which is what I did.
Or you can wait until someone posts a patched 9.5.6 boot image.
I posted the 956 magisk image in another thread but here it is again from the gm1917
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0a48lpps6ah90t3/boot956gm1917magisk.img?dl=0
Instructions
(Adb and fastboot on a PC)
(Unlock bootloader): tap build# 6x, Oem unlocking and usb debugging on, connect phone to PC, boot to recovery, "fastboot oem unlock" from PC command prompt which erases phone also, then usb debugging and advanced reboot on again
Download the patched boot image to adb directory
Install the latest version of Magisk Manager to phone
Reboot the phone in fastboot mode
Use the following command via command prompt :
fastboot flash boot boot956gm1917magisk.img
fastboot reboot
The phone will reboot into system, this may take some time be patient
Open Magisk & Install it again[Direct Install]
You've got a rooted OnePlus 7 Pro.

@schmeggy929 posted a patched boot image for the US unlocked variant that you can use for rooting and then installing TWRP. I had to switch the active slot for my device before following the instructions for the patched boot image. After getting Magisk and TWRP installed I didn't have WiFi so I wiped everything in TWRP, used the full zip for 9.5.6 followed by the TWRP installer zip, rebooted to recovery, flashed Magisk 19.2, rebooted, and everything worked great. If you get into a bootloop follow this guide

OK question does both these methods get us to the same results? Just they are different ways of doing it. Don't beat me up to bad guys.
The key is flashing a boot image that matches what you are currently running.
The second set of instructions also flash TWRP.
Both flash magisk which is essentially root.
I preferred the first method as it was simple and initially only boots to a modified image. If anything goes wrong in that step, nothing permanent has been done. The first method requires you are at least on 9.5.4 as earlier recoveries did not support booting to an image unless it was flashed.

The second instructions basically continue where mine left off by flashing TWRP recovery. He then used TWRP to repair having flashed the wrong boot image while rooting and eventually giving up and flashing the whole rom again. I think that's what happened to him.

I flashed the correct boot image, but to the wrong slot which led me to a bootloop. After fixing that problem and getting back to stock I switched slots, flashed the boot image, and didn't have WiFi (I triple checked the version was correct and others have had the issue). That's what led me to flashing the full ROM in TWRP and then Magisk.
To the OP:
I like having TWRP with a rooted device, but if you just want root then follow the first set of instructions
OK guys I'm on Verizon I just got my phone Friday and it had the update 9.5.6GM21AA for the Iphone and 7pro problem so I did it. OK now the dumb question when it says Open Magisk & Install it again. There are talking about the boot image right? I'm sorry guys I've not done this in a long time.
OK guys I googled and found what I needed thank you
With the phone only a few weeks old, we are all experimenting with what works. 1+is also releasing a lot of patches all the time so things are a moving Target. Luckily things are settling and the early adopters have sorted out how to get out of a jamb when it happens.
For others clarity open the magisk app after booting to the patched boot image i provided and do a direct install. This is that step that actually permanently patches your boot image for magisk. There are other instructions floating around that instead flash the modified image provided. Those were earlier instructions They are more hazardous in case there is a problem with the supplied image or it doesn't match your rom, or you don't flash to the correct Slot. That's what happened to the other poster but he was experienced enough to simply fix the issue. It's still a sinking feeling when it happens and you wonder how badly you've just bricked your phone. I've been there many times, lol.

I am in the exact same boat. I went through a bunch of trouble getting my phone rooted for the first time on 9.5.3. Finally got everything setup properly. 9.5.3 with root and twrp 3.3.1-20 (with decryption working).
Wanted to upgrade to 9.5.6 and have been holding off for fear of messing things up and having to wipe and start over.
Decided to go for it. Used the OP system updater. Installed 9.5.6. DID NOT REBOOT. Went to Magisk Manager and installed Magisk using the "After OTA" method. Rebooted. It booted to stock OP recovery.
Frustrated and not quite sure what to do, I went to my computer and installed twrp 3.3.1-20 using "fastboot flash boot twrp.img". I expected it was going to boot into twrp since I installed it on the current slot (A) but to my surprise it booted into system. Unfortunately I lost root, but at least i'm not at the stock recovery.
Then I decided I would try to get root using the patched image that @larsdennert posted on post 5. I went into fastboot and followed his instructions exactly. Waited for it to reboot and ended up at the stock OP recovery screen again. Since the only thing I knew how to get back into my system was flashing the twrp 3.3.1-20, I did that, rebooted, and am now back in Android, but without root.
After reading countless threads about the Slot A and B partitioning, I thought I understood it, but I must not. Or something must be setup wrong. I follow steps exactly and nothing seems to work for me.
Maybe someone can help me out. I'd like to get 9.5.6 rooted, but I am terrified to mess stuff up and have to wipe it clean again.
EDIT:
I got root! Once I got to system I had the idea to boot to recovery to see if twrp was there. Turns out it was, so I flashed Magisk from twrp and rebooted. Saw that it was rooted and direct installed Magisk again from Magisk Manager.
Man, I really have no clue how or why this worked out this way. I feel like i'm going to stay on 9.5.6 for a while out of fear of screwing something up again. This is nothing like my old One Plus 5. lol
Edit x2:
It appears my WiFi isn't working. I don't really know what to do from here.

I'm not really interested in going to a different kernel. I'm going to try to dirty flash the update again and reflash twrp and Magisk. Hopefully that will work.
I had rooted my phone on OOS 9.5.8, installed TWRP and magisk, i updated to 9.5.10 without issues, tried installing TWRP again as well as magisk, and my phone went on a bootloop, after several hours of trying to fix it, i decided to use my twrp backup thinking that would fix the issue, i restore everything and my phone is still bootlooping, any ideas how to fix it?
did u remove your magisk modules?
Maybe the backup was from slot A and OTA in slot B and something got messed up. In another note there's no need to clean install OTAs from Oneplus, and then having to restore old data is where complications come

I had this problem, minus the TWRP. I had to reset to factory default to fix it. Goto bootloader and reset system settings. You'll end up back on 9.5.10 stock but you should be able to boot. Pain in the ass but it stopped my loops. I didn't have a x.x.10 backup so I had to start fresh.
Try to remove Magisk using Magisk unninstaller and reinstall 9.5.10 on TWRP without rebooting.
After, install TWRP installer again and THEN reboot.
After you check all is working, install Magisk again in TWRP and then install your Magisk modules again.
Hello all,
I tried updating to OOS10 using the method listed elsewhere in the forums; install the OTA without rebooting, install the TWRP recovery script in magisk, install magisk to inactive slot, reboot. I then ran into a black screen where all I could do was reboot/turn off the phone. So I rebooted into TWRP and tried getting rid of Swift installer/magisk just in case they were causing problems. That seems to have pretty much bricked my device, so I'm in the process now of reinstalling OOS from scratch.
I'm able to get into TWRP, but it's unable to mount /data. I have a ton of Titanium backups/SMS backups on my internal storage which I'd really like to get pulled off before going any farther. Is there any hope?
Thanks!
Try install new twrp version unofficial q

I'm not sure if this can helps you but take a look before you flashing the stock rom
https://www.wondershare.com/android...36.1875208451.1572365092-140189568.1572365092
I have no idea how, but somehow I fixed it. I ended up using fastboot to switch the active slot, the booted into the new Q TWRP, flashed the OTA update from one of the other forum posts, then flashed Magisk and I was able to boot. I had to reflash TWRP and Magisk again after getting booted up, but after that everything was good again. Very weird.
Nice... I think it's time to get a backup your data and save it for example to your pc,or in external disk ...
Ok, so I had to reinstall my OS through TWRP (2GB Full update)... and rebooting to the Bootloader to reinstall TWRP and rebooting again, I want to install Magisk again.
When I install Magisk through TWRP and reboot, the boot animation is stuck forever and animates very slowly. The only way to get out is to press VOL UP + POWER and inmediately VOL DOWN + POWER to enter TWRP. To fix the stuck boot animation I have to reinstall the full OxygenOS update and reinstall TWRP.
My problem is that I'm in this vicious cicle where if I install Magisk it doesn't work and I have to reinstall the OS and TWRP.
What am I missing? Why Magisk is making my device stuck on the boot screen?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
I had that earlier today. For me I switched to the other partition from twrp and rebooted and it worked fine. Guess I'll flash ROM and magisk to both partitions next time

So let me make sure I understood you. I need to switch to Slot B and also install the OS and Magisk?
OK, an update. After trying to switch slots, install the OS in both of them and Magisk and all the possible permutations, I tried flashing 19.4 and it worked flawlessly first time.
Now I'm going to update it!
Update 2: I'm finally running the latest version! Updating Magisk through Magisk Manager worked fine.

I have the same issue with the slow boot animation and the endless loading. I tried to install the OTA again, TWRP again and magisk 20.1, 20.0, 19.4 ...
Sadly the animation stays that slow and my OP7Pro doesnt boot up. How exactly did you get rid of that problem? I feel like I tried every combination of flashing

I had this with PA. Not sure what caused it as my flashing process is the same every time.
In the end I gave up and formatted /data

I decided to give up too... Was a bad mistake. I accidentely rebooted the phone after the update today. I will never do that mistake again
That dreadful moment when you have this problem again and googling points you to your own thread with no solutions.
UPDATE: Oh I think I got it! I had to uninstall Magisk Manager AND flash Magisk Uninstaller zip, reboot to OS, reboot to Recovery again and flash Magisk 20.3 again and it finally worked! No more stuck slow boot animation.
Probably the two reboots aren't needed, but I like doing things slow.
Hey there,
so I've rooted my S10 (SM-G973F) with magisk about 3 months ago, and it worked fine for quite a long time.
Just recently I tried to install the magisk LSPosed module, after about a week I rebooted my phone and was stuck in a bootloop.
I tried to access my Phone via adb but I couldn't fix it, then reflashed the Stock Firmware hoping it would fix it, which actually did, just to be stuck without root now.
Every time I try to flash magisk via Odin, my phone won't boot up properly and displays the message "OS couldn't be loaded" or similar.
If I then Flash the Stock Firmware again, everything works just fine.
Please let me know if you have any idea of how to fix this problem.
(Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place or something, I'm new here)
You probably flashed a recent firmware with a more restrictive security system. The only thing that keeps your device from booting is that it checks boot.img for modifications, you can wait for magisk update (or use canary builds), or try a custom kernel, if it can boot, then flash magisk.
