Hi, Im new in this forum, just got my OP 7 Pro. I've been away from anything root related for a long time, since my previous devices couldnt be rooted.
I remember using magisk when it was a new thing, and everyone was using greenify to extend battery life.
I just updated to Android 10 Beta, can I root my device?
If it is possible, what do I lose if I root besides widevine?
The only thing I'm really looking forward is gcam port and the use of aux cams, since a lot of things have to be updated to Android 10, I don't think there's a lot to do right now besides that.
I think you have to come back to the android p stable, root, install the twrp and after you will able to update with the root. Now im on the beta with root and twrp throw a dirty installing

Hi! Thanks. If you don't mind, can you give point me to a guide or something to downgrade? I'm a total noob with everything OnePlus related.
You don't have to downgrade to Pie.
Do it like this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-android-10-twrp-t3964131
You just need stock boot.img:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...isk-patched-boot-image-oneplus-7-pro-t3964345
There's also another way which avoids to downgrade.
Flash the magisk patched img you'll find in this forum.
After following instructions from there, you'll be rooted but without TWRP.
If you need that also... flash the TWRP installer zip as a magisk module, reinstall magisk (direct install), reboot and you're done.

Wow, thanks!! that seems stupidly easy, even for me. Two questions:
Do I need a PC to do the extraction?
Will this wipe any data?
And as for my initial question, is there anything besides widevine lost when rooting?

You can download Magisk patched boot.img from second link above.
Flashing boot.img will not wipe any data.
If I remember right, Widevine will get L3 with unlocked bootloader.

Awesome!! Thank you very much, thought I had to unlock the bootloader by myself using a PC.
Edit: I'm so dumb, just realized I still have to flash the boot.img using fastboot
I have a question, in order to root and flash twrp coming with android 10 (no root) I must unlock the bootloader, right?

Yes bootloader must be unlocked to flash TWRP or Root the device also when you unlock the bootloader it will factory reset the device so make sure you backup any personal data you need before unlocking.
Thank you

Use PC via ADB (fastboot)to flash TWRP. Flash Magisk in recovery, then dl Magisk manager from play store.
Magisk works very well.
This all is assuming your boot loader is unlocked.
Good luck.

So instead of supersu, we use magisk?
And I read somewhere also that using magisk we can still get updates to our phones. Is that right?
Also there is a TWRP manager in play Store can we use it to flash TWRP instead of ADB?
Thanks for the steps though.

My experience with TWRP manager has been it breaks my recovery. No idea why so I flashed via PC. Not sure you can still receive updates when your boot loader has been unlocked. Depends on a lot of factors. Someoneelse will have to answer that question.

OK thanks.
An unlocked bootloader doesn't prevent you from receiving updates from Motorola. But I think rooting the ROM will prevent installation of further updates.
I don't think Motorola is going to push any further updates. So just do anything you want with your phone (personal opinion).

I've never received a update notice.
I would have to agree... There is little chance of getting another update, and if we did it would just be a simple security update and not important.
And no, even with Magisk you cannot apply an OTA update, it will fail.
Unlock your bootloader, flash the twrp recovery using adb fastboot...then wipe the stock rom, flash custom rom along with SuperSU....enjoy! (Processes are same but you should use the latest versions of all these...)

So I have a few questions about the android P beta program. I was wondering if anyone could answer before I opt into it
1) if I opt into I get ota updates which won't be Verizon variants so would I be able to jump back to Oreo?
2)would this allow me to unlock my bootloader possibly?
1) You should be able to go back to oreo by opting out of the beta and taking the subsequent ota from Google. Or you can manually flash a newer ota you downloaded from your computer. Must be a newer build than the the one you are on.
2) Almost certainly not. Unless there is some error, your bootloader will not be unlockable. You are not currently receiving "Verizon" builds. No such thing. Your device info is on a server side whitelist / blacklist. It has nothing to do with the build you have installed. That is my understanding.

Im not sure i understood this properly, I've already unlocked the bootloader of my Verizon pixel 2 on 8.1, if I update to P, will the bootloader be locked back? Or I can update and still enjoy the unlocked bootloader?
Thanks!

If you unlocked the bootloader already, it will stay unlocked until you lock it via fastboot from your computer. Flashing firmware will not relock it. Don't worry, updating to Android p won't mess with that.
I'm really enjoying this beta so far. The new navigation gestures are cool. Nothing so far that makes me want to go back to 8.1.

What version of magisk are you flashing? You should be using the beta magisk. Looks like people are having some success rooting with version 16.4.

That's correct. Just checking. You need to boot to twrp to flash magisk. There isn't another way that I know of. Maybe download twrp img again? I doubt its a corrupt download since you get the twrp splash screen, but its worth a try.

You can boot into the OS right? Are you're platform tools the latest version?
Reverting back to oreo, rooting, and updating to p beta will either fail or wipe out root. You won't end up with p beta and root. Don't do that.

I understand that. I am not sure whats going on then. Sorry.
i've solved the problem!! just to share, i had installed handbrake in my mac to share files via usb and i guess it caused some incompatibility issue.. i've just uninstalled it and i've managed to flash it properly!
Hello guys is there anyone willing to help me out?
Im long term HTC user in the past 15 Plus years i was flshing whatever i want and im familiar with this but i switched to Pixel 2 and i want to clear for myself few things prior before to brick it.
I also read this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-walleye-t3702417
But its seems like the thread is not updated and some users mention problems with flashing Magisk etc.
Im fully Stock locked bootloader with the latest Android Pie from 5 January 2018
The Pixel i use is Google Edition worlwide version not loocked to any network etc.
The main reason to want to Bootloader unlock it is because i need the Magisk in order to be able to flash and use few of the must have for me apps that i use all the time.
1st is SAURON audio - without Magisk and TWRP this is not posible.
2nnd few additional Magisk modules that i use non stop in the past few years.
What is not clear for me is the steps and exactly the second steb with Flashing Flashing factory images?!
In HTC i need to get the bootloader unlock S-OFF is i want and flash a TWRP in this case i can flash on top Magisk so here is different and not very clear for me as well.
When im now on the latest Android version from 5 January do i need still to flash FACTORY IMAGE after unlocking the bootloader?
Is anyone willing to help to clear the things out before to mess the device.
Thanks in advance

Hi If you just want to unlock bootloader, there is no reason to flash factory image again. Just allow unlock bootloader in developer options, reboot to bootloader and run fastboot flashing unlock, this will fully wipe/factory reset your device.
Now you could boot/flash TWRP and install magisk.
When will be new monthly update available, flash it with help of this thread:

Thank you for the info.
So this mean i dont need to flash Image if im with the latest stock Version.
I prefer to stay stock just miss some Magisk modules thats why i wondering what to do.
Can i flash just a Kernel for example KiriSakura after unlock the bootloader and install TWRP just to flash Kiri Kernel with the stock rom im now and other Magisk stuffs like Sauron etc.
Thanks again
Hi exactly, if you run latest stock you havn't flash it again after bootloader unlock.
If you want to petmanently flash twrp, you have to do it before flashing magisk, othetwise you willn't be able to boot os only twrp.
I saw a post talking about rooting without TWRP. Any advantage of installing TWRP to root? Just flash Magisk via TWRP to get root, correct? I'm still on Android 10. If I install TWRP, can I still install update from Tmobile? Thanks.

When rooting there are no major advantages of installing twrp, but after rooting twrp is super useful! So you might as well root with it (two birds with one stone). Yup you just have to flash magisk with twrp and you're done. Idk about the T-mobile updates tho.
Hey everyone so I have my OnePlus8T all unlocked and ready to be rooted via Magisk. This includes both OEM unlocking turned on and I have successfully gone through the SIM unlock process with T-Mobile.
However....how can I root with Magisk by doing the step of payload dumper without being able to obtain the latest firmware online? I've looked everywhere but looks like T-Mobile keeps it on a tight leash.
Thanks in advance.

Hello!
As you haven't specified what firmware is installed on your phone at the moment, i see several variants:
1. You can find patched boot.img here on xda for your firmware and boot it, after install Magisk app as usual (Magisk -> Magisk Install -> "Direct Install (Recommended)")
2. If you're unable to find patched boot for your firmware version, you can temporary boot twrp recovery, and install magisk apk with it.
Sorry should have indicated my firmware which is the latest:
11.0.16.18.KB09CB
After doing another search I find no links through Google or XDA
It's possible to use TWRP temporarily even without root?

Those instructions apply to the KB2007? I'm not seeing the model discussed anywhere in that thread and don't wanna brick my phone.
If so, when I go through the process to patch the IMG file through Magisk will it wipe the phone like it did when I unlocked the bootloader?

The rooting process isn't device specific. And it doesn't wipe your phone.
Also, if you are going to use TWRP, you could take a backup of your phone (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ect-8t-kebab-2022-03-09.4302449/post-85292199) which you could use to restore your system.
But, as always, there are no guarantees and you do this entirely at your own risk.
And, yes, I understand how scary it is to do these things the first time.
