[GUIDE] How to flash Android 10 with working TWRP and Magisk - OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello guys,
i saw there some questions about TWRP and android 10. So far you cant boot TWRP on android 10. It doesnt matter Q BETA DP4, 5 or OB1.
Mauronofrio is already informed about that. There is some work needed to fix that.
But there is a way to flash TWRP with Magisk! I already posted that a few times in TWRP thread and opened this thread now. So it's easier to find it.
You will need to have magisk on your phone to do this!
UPDATING FROM ANDROID 9:
1. Install Android 10 trough local Updater AND DONT REBOOT HERE
2. Flash TWRP trough Magisk
3. Install magisk to inaktiv Slot (after OTA)
4. REBOOT NOW
With OB1 it also works the usual way:
1. Boot into TWRP and Flash OB1
2. Flash TWRP Installer.zip
3 Reboot directly into recovery
4. Flash Magisk and reboot system
COMING WITH ANDROID 10 NON ROOT:
1. Extract the boot.img of payload.bin inside the update.zip (use this tool for it LINK <--- thanks @tidschi)
2. Patch the boot.img with Magisk
3. Flash it with fastboot and reboot
4. Flash TWRP with magisk
5. Install Magisk and reboot
COMING WITH ANDROID 10 AND ROOT:
1. Flash TWRP with magisk
2. Install magisk and reboot
Thanks @tidschi for correcting me (patching boot.img) and screenshot

Thanks for guide. So I am now in op1 without root and twrp. I assume I have to downgrade to 9.5.8, there flash twrp and magisk, than install op1 again and flash twrp etc as you write?

No, just patch boot.img from OB1 with Magisk.
Afterwards flash patched boot.img with fastboot and after that you can flash TWRP with Magisk.

Np, was for me also first time to do it this way.
Everyone can extract stock boot.img from payload file with this tool:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850510260
Then simple flash the extracted boot.img with Magisk and flash with fastboot.

I have updated the OP now. Thanks dude. (Danke für das Korrigieren!)

Little notice, as said before:
You need to extract with payload dumper the boot.img from payload.bin from ROM ZIP file.

Thanks for the guide @Kollachi

I am rooted and TWRP is installed, latest Pie Update. Can't I just download the Android 10 OB1 and flash this in TWRP? Afterwards, flash TWRP Zip and Magisk to preserve all this?

No you need to update from settings in OOS.
Then go to Magisk and install to inactive slot and reboot.
If you want to have TWRP again, install as Module with Magisk after reboot.

Just found this in OP7 Pro forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/android-q-4th-developer-preview-t3953997
How to update/install with root(TWRP):
*MAKE SURE TO HAVE EVERY MAGISK MODULE DISABLED BEFORE YOU DO THIS*
1. Download the open beta, magisk and TWRP installer
2. Copy the zip to the storage
3. Boot TWRP and decrypt
4. Flash open beta
5. Flash TWRP Installer
6. Reboot recovery
7. Flash Magisk
8. Reboot and enjoy!
I am gonna try this. This is what I did on my OP5 for a long time and I am more comfortable this way.

You can't boot into TWRP with Android 10 for now.

I know, but I am still on Pie. Will do this to update to OB1. Then I hope a new TWRP will be released soon
Edit: Worked like a charm. Can also still boot into TWRP recovery.

So finally I am rooted, so than I have to go to fastboot and flash twrp img? And then flash magisk in twrp?
EDIT: That doesn´t work, IDK how to install twrp without fastboot

[stupid question] OTA update when on magisk and xposed?

Hello XDA!
It's been a while since I did 'modding' on phones, I think I started with the OP1 back in 2014 but have not really been keeping up ever since. I am now on 5.1.5 and running official OOS with magisk and xposed for gravitybox.. Can I just disable magisk and xposed, do the OTA update and then re-enable or do I have to uninstall them fully? Or can I just do the OTA right now?
Sorry for what might be a really obvious answer.
Thank you!
You can do the OTA but if you want magisk (and then xposed systemless) i suggest you to install TWRP after update and you need in all cases to re-do root process

Ahh I see. Because xposed is now systemless it doesn't matter if I leave it enabled right? Is the new official TWRP without any dangerous bugs?
Thanks for your swift reply!!
maybe to help you all
me: 5.1.5, unlocked bootloader, unofficial TWRP from thread by wuxianlin, magisk 16.4
my procedure was to change to official twrp which can be done easily by
downloading the twrp installer from official site, put to internal storage
flash twrp official installer
still in recovery, select reboot: recovery
flash magisk
boot system
now download full 5.1.6 signed flashable zip
recovery: flash 5.1.6
reflash recovery
reboot recovery
flash magisk
boot system
now you have rooted 5.1.6 with official twrp and magisk, no wipe needed
oneplus6 ha a/b partition. so if you installed magisk 16.4 already. just OTA. when it's done don't reboot yet. enter magisk manager, choose install on the second partition. reboot.

TWRP official has no bug, the only thing i don't know is if backup/restore is working fine, if you install ota via TWRP and then flash (without reboot) twrp.zip and magisk, after reboot you'll find out that system is exactly the same it was before updating
The only thing u need to disable before updates are overlays through substratum, I also remove any security like finger prints, face unlock and pin or patterns too just in case. Once u flash update u will have to reflash magisk and xposed too

TWRP on Android 10

After recently bricking my Oneplus 6 by trying to flash the latest TWRP on the latest Android 10 OTA from Oxygen Updater, I found a post from official TWRP explaining how root with a10 will take a while to implement due to changes that Google has made to their partitions.
So I guess for anyone trying this out on their own, be warned. You will probably end up bricking your device like I did and will probably end up having a bad time.
Please correct me if i'm wrong though, peace!
Edit: can confirm fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-11-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img from the other popular post is working!
If you already have a working TWRP on OOS 9 you should be fine as long as you flash a working TWRP afterwards. Blu_spark TWRP 9.101 is compatible (please not 9.101 no earlier version will work).
Also don't use Magisk 20 only 20.1.
There is already a pre-patched version out there. You can fastboot flash it (as fastboot boot doesn't work). An easier way (without a pre-patched version) is currently being worked one as you pointed out already
just updated to a10
boot into twrp, flash new bluspark twrp
flash FULL ota a10 image
reflash twrp
reboot into twrp
boot into system
boot back to twrp
install magisk 20.1

Which build did u use mate? R108 is not working with android 9, I tried flashing it using my older installed twrp.
It says unsupported android version. And in github r108 says only for android 10.
r108 is the kernel not twrp

I can confirm that this is working for me. I successfully upgraded from Android 9, Oxygen OS 9.0.9 to Android 10, Oxygen OS 10. Steps that I followed :
1) Flashed new twrp from link in the above post by akri1337 using my previously installed twrp : bluspark 9.85.
2) Flashed Oxygen OS 10 full update and added to queue latest bluspark twrp which I flashed in step one as it would be overwritten by flashing the full OTA update.
3) Rebooted into recovery again to switch to active slot.
4) Flashed Magisk 20.2 to regain root.
This process successfully upgraded my Oneplus 6 without any data loss.
Please note that I disabled all magisk modules just to be safe before starting the upgrade process but didn't uninstall magisk. I was on Magisk 20.2 earlier.
Hope this helps everyone.

Which magisk? Ver 20.1 ?
Why is it that I get an error when trying to flash the full OTA update using TWRP? Something about error 7 and not have a digest file. Is there a full OTA update file that everyone is using? I tried the signed full zip from here on XDA and the one from Oxygen Updater. I get the same error with both.

Still confused as to how everyone else can flash these zip files through TWRP and I cannot.
I'm currently Magisk rooted and have TWRP installed. Will I lose root and TWRP when updating through the local upgrade method?

Yes, you will need to flash twrp with adb and going through the hole process of installing twrp and magisk, but for me its not worked well, after first boot to Android Q with magisk 20.1 and granting some apps root access when I rebooted the phone its not booting to system and going to bootloader, I think its related to some problem with magisk 20.1.

CUstom ROM installation problem, please help

Hi to everyone. I have a european version of the op7 pro. The device produces an issue when using android auto, which I use daily (the bottom bar is rarely responsive to my touches whereas the rest of android auto works fine). So I wanted to try a custom ROM and see if the problem persists.
I tried multiple roms like havoc, aosip and lineage following the respective guides of installation, but regardless of the ROM, I always get stuck at the startup animation when I first try to reboot to system after installing twrp, magisk, gapps etc.
The only rom that seems to work is any version of OOS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Exact what steps you do when installing a custom ROM?
U need to explain how you flash those OS; from my experience on OP6 -> flashing a third party rom need to update it' firmware to match the rom u try to flash, or else it cannot go into system definitely!
Steps :
Unlock bootloader
Boot twrp
Flash twrp
Flash rom
Flash twrp
Reboot to recovery
Once again flash rom
Once again flash twrp
Flash magisk
Flash gapps
Use international version instead of European. This mostly solves the issue.
Also steps should be.
Flash oos
Flash twrp
Reboot recovery
Flash oos
Flash twrp
Reboot recovery
Format data
Flash rom
Flash twrp
Flash gapps (if required)
Flash magisk(if needed)
Flash dm verity (if needed)
Reboot system

You must Format internal storage before booting into Custom ROM.
Also, when you flash a Custom Rom, when it's done flashing, reboot once more to recovery and then flash the rest like Gapps, Magisk, etc... (Keep in mind that some custom ROMs require once time boot before flashing Magisk).

General Global 11.2.6.6 rooted!!!

First off I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your device
Attached below is the patched image for OnePlus 9 global 11.2.6.6
Flash via fastboot
For support and faster answer look here
Thank you for this! Since Magisk removed the option for OTA install, I was forced to do it the harder way... But you my friend made it much easier on me ! Thank you!!
Sorry for newbie's question, what's the difference between the two files? one is stock and one is patched?
Yes. Stock has to be flashed to take next ota. And patched is for root on current rom. Since op9 now uses google ota if any partitions are modified including the boot image ,it will fail.

Mine still there as well. But I like to flash stock boot image back. Take ota. Then fastboot boot patched.img. Dump current boot image to sd through shell. Then direct install in magisk. I've seen many users have issues taking ota's using the other method. As in not even being able to boot or booting back into old build . So I prefer this way. Wanna avoid the msm tool and not loose data on device/have to factory reset.

Edit- I got it, I had to flash original images and then updates showed up. Thanks for posting these images.
Hi, thanks for posting the images. I assume global as in the US AA model since that is the only model with OTA from googles server right? The reason I was asking is I am on 11.0.4.4 and never received the notification for the update yet, but using oxygen updater, when I go in settings and check advanced mode, it shows a incremental update. My system under local file of course can't see it or will not show the update. I figured I could fastboot boot the stock image and then maybe it system could see the update, but when I try, the device just hangs on the fastboot screen(right before normally booting). I tried with my image and it booted. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks
Steps as follows if on rooted 11.2.5.5
1. flash stock 11.2.6.6.img
2. install OTA
3. flash patched 11.2.6.6.img
4. profit

Aren't you supposed to flash 11.2.5.5 if you are on 11.2.5.5?
After that uninstall magisk, update ota and 3. and 4. ?

You are correct my friend. One needs stock untouched boot image to be able to take next update. If your on 11.2.5.5 you need that boot image to get ota to install correctly. This 11.2.6.6 img if for next round of updates. Here is 11.2.5.5 for anyone that might still be on older build.

Appreciate the input. I have been out of the game since the 6t so I am still trying to catch up
UPDATED POST
Alternatively, you could:
1. Go to Magisk manager, and tap Uninstall to unroot. And then regular reboot.*
2. Download and install partial OTA, reboot and confirm update. Reboot to bootloader.
3. Fastboot boot patched boot img**
4. Go to Magisk Manager and direct install for permanent root.
5. Reboot and profit.
*this step presupposes that Magisk has a STOCK boot.img to restore for the unroot procedure. If it does not have that, you're obligated to use the process described in post #11.
**you could actually use a recent previous version of patched boot img (like patched 11244) if the update's patched boot img is still unavailable, and then use Magisk manager to patch the update with a direct install

So doing it this method backs up stock untouched current boot image and reflashes during uninstall of magisk to allow ota to go through.? Since the op9 uses google ota all partitions have to be stock including boot image. Or it fails

What's the command to flash the stock 11.2.5.5 boot.img? I tried renaming the boot_a.img the mattie_49 posted to boot.img but it would not flash.
