updating lineage - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

How do I update lineage? I have tried before, but I get locked out because the way I got told to do it is flash it in twrp, but it fails and I lose magisk and twrp, maybe I'm doing it wrong?

You can boot twrp without flashing and then flash root

You said you wanted root, you were supposed to use the process to get root not flash magisk. I thought you had a method of installing magisk after getting root. I thought you were going to boot twrp recovery, not flash it, since you said you didn't want twrp.
Unfortunately you're going to have to flash stock with OST.

yeah now i got twrp but only come when boot from fastboot commands and i want magisk how can i get it?

Might I ask: what do you need magisk for?
Also in that recovery I got errors like can't Mount and some kind of encryption error and it say's I have to format data
Need magisk for root and modules as also I want all updates properly installed means i want to in stock recovery

In my opinion, only use the recovery for flashing stuff, don't mount anything other than sdcard, don't unlock. Maybe when there is a more compatible version of twrp ...

Well i don't know about the modules, but when I flashed stock firmware with OST (first time I flashed recovery my phone was stuck in twrp) then flashed root and xposed, I was still able to install updates. The stock firmware I installed was 7.0, but now i'm on the most recent update. So unless there are some specific modules that you need from magisk, I think you can stick with the regular root.
On the other hand you can continue to experiment with magisk, maybe you will find something that we don't know yet and get it working. But remember, if you want to flash anything, don't format with twrp at all, just leave everything readonly and flash
I'm not able to go to recovery by buttons. Only by fastboot command why is that?
What the hell is this i just try to go to recovery by buttons it works but I'm on stock recovery but i flashed twrp then i format data did formatting data did something to recovery? Or is it that i have to use fastboot command to go to twrp recovery? Where the hell is that recovery?

I don't know; the process of flashing recovery on HMD's nokias isn't yet fully developed, people have complained about flashing recovery but still not booting into it. Personally I would recommend that you use stock recovery and use fastboot to boot into twrp instead of actually flashing twrp whenever you want to flash anything. That way you are still able to install system update
But for installing magisk every where written that flash magisk zip from twrp but i got bootloop

Have you flashed stock firmware with OST? Can you boot normally now? If not, do that, then update ti the current android version using OTA. After that boot into twrp (whether you chose to flash twrp or just boot twrp is up to you). Do a backup then try flashing magisk again, maybe it will work this time
Yeah i already flashed stock rom with ost and already update to latest version i think magisk is not supported in Nokia 3

Hello mate, you can't root nokia 3 with Magisk. Why? Because noone never send boot img to dev! So only option to root it is Chainfire SuperUser 2.79v.
Ok brother but i have a question if i root and then remove some system apps then can I safely install updates?

Update via OTA when unlocked bootloader/rooted

So I unlocked by Bootloader and Rooted my OP6, the question I have is will the OTA updates be installed without any problems or will I have to install it manually?
Also when I install twrp (I have not installed yet) how will I need to update my phone through OTA?
Sorry if this is a noob question because the last time I rooted and flashed roms the software support was over so I never had any OTA updates.
Thanks
It will download the update but it most probably will download the Full 1.4GB ZIP
Meaning it will install the full rom and not the small update package.
It will install normally to the other slot and after reboot you should be updated.
This should work just fine with TWRP because it updates your other slot within Android, not in recovery.
After update, reboot phone, then reboot to TWRP and install Magisk!
I updated while being rooted and TWRP installed. Just download the update, then reflash twrp and root and everything works fine.
So if u want update your system but don't need TWRP you can just download OTA with system updater and install it.
If you want magisk don't reboot! Open magisk and press install and install to second slot. Then reboot. You will have an updated system with working magisk!

So the only hitch to get an official incremental OTA update, is the root? Unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed doesn't cause any trouble?
If you just remove the root and then check for the update, evrything gonna be fine, am I right?
But how does it work this "slot a" "slot b"? What does it mean? After an update will your OP6 get 2 roms in the same time? The new and the previous? What happen after an update and the reboot? Have you to delete the old rom?
Thx for the patience...

I didn't even remove root. I can't explain you how this a and b is working. but what I know is, that every OTA is change the partition. And no u won't have 2 systems.

If your current system runs for example on slot "a" the update will be installed on slot "b "...the slot that you currently not using

Yes, I'm not sure if you will keep TWRP.
But you can always reinstall TWRP and then reflash Magisk

If I'm not wrong, on a rooted device OTA installs a full rom. On a not-rooted phone OTA installs just the incremental update.
I only unlocked the bootloader to prepare for TRWP and root (So no TWRP and root yet) and it tells me it will download full update.

I guess it recognizes the unlocked bootloader and then it always downloads and installs full update.
Why would you unlock your bootloader and then don't root :laugh:

Because I was not sure I wanted root again there are always apps that even with Magisk hide won't work.
But just to make sure I prepared by unlocking bootloader so if I decide to go for TWRP and root my data and storage won't get wiped which would mean starting all over again and losing app-data.
So, if I update from a ROM rooted with TWRP, will not the user data be deleted? Should we just root again and install the TWRP?
I had rooted 5.1.5 with TWRP and Magisk. I just downloaded the full package, copied it to phone storage. Then went to system update, update locally, picked the file and it ran the update.
However after reboot and update complete I lost TWRP and root. So I went to fastboot, booted the official TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img). Then flashed the official TWRP and Magisk for root, rebooted and all was good again.
I'm pretty sure there's an easier way of doing this but this worked for me.

In theory, with the Oxygen Updater application you can install the OTA and Magisk in 1 step.

Yeah probably but it has a lot of mixed reviews and this takes me 10 minutes more or so oh well. I'll rather do it like this It's not like we get a new update every week
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

wifi breaks after rooting update 5.1.8

I updated my op6 from 5.1.6 to 5.1.8 using twrp. But after that i lost root access and lost twrp recovery. Then i flashed the twrp and magisk again. the phone gets rooted but wifi is broken after doing this. Has any of u have the same issue as mine?

I had that same issue today - i downloaded the rom from OnePlus directly, flashed it back to factory, and then followed the instructions in
Code:

Did you reflash twrp directly after OS update without rebooting?
Correct. Reboot is not required. Boot to recovery, flash OOS, flash TWRP and Magisk and reboot.
After updating os.
Flash twrp
Reboot recovery
Flash magisk.
Follow this order and the problem will be solved. I had the same problem too.

You are losing wifi because you have one of the early versions of twrp that used a kernel from HOS.
The magisk non twrp method works great.
Also, there is an updated thread about rooting that has the new TWRP installer. It wont break wifi.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-how-to-install-official-twrp-t3801558
Basically you boot into twrp, Install latest rom, run the updated twrp installer, install magisk.
Thats the new normal on this phone btw (install rom, install twrp, install magisk) because the kernel is part of recovery or something like that lol

Bootloop to TWRP on PIE

Hi, the title says almost all... I can't get past the TWRP screen on both official TWRP and Bluespark one, only solution is flashing Magisk but i have to remove it in order to use some Apps that detect it, any advice...?
Fastboot flash a 5.1.9 rom and update from there, if ur not gonna run magisk do you need twrp?
Did you try to use the latest Uninstaller?

I need twrp so I can flash magisk if I need it.
And yes, tried to use latest versions of Magisk and, obviously, the Uninstaller, every time I run the Uninstaller it just boot back to twrp.
Anyway I've solved by dirty flashing Pie, now it's working, thanks

Wiped and back to stock recovery... Sigh.

Hi!
I have a OP6. Running rooted stock with BluSpark TWRP and Magisk. Some months ago I rooted it and I was running 9.0.1 or 9.0.0, not sure which one. I then updated to 9.0.2 OTA a week or so later. I can not remember the exact procedure, but everything worked fine. Today I installed 9.0.3 OTA and then used Magisk (18.0) before reboot to install it to slot A (9.0.2 was on B). Somehow, I ended up with a wiped device and stock recovery. Can anyone help me to find my potential fault in this? I don't want it wiped during the next OTA, it's a real hassle to set up everything again. I remember that I checked a guide that had tips on OTA, but I can't seem to find it.
Best.

I had the same thing happen to me. I missed the part where I flash TWRP right after the OTA. That probably triggered the factory reset
So instead of rebooting, I should do a "fastboot boot IMAGE" and then install the bluspark twrp zip from inside that one? I guess I can boot up to TWRP and install Magisk as well after this while I'm at it?
Are you flashing from twrp?
If so,flash ROM zip
Flash twrp zip
Reboot to twrp
Flash magisk
Done.
If ur doing it from Android
Install ROM,when it asks you to reboot, DON'T
go to magisk app
Go to modules
Search for a/b twrp (you should only find one module)
Install it ,don't reboot
Go to main magisk screen
Press install,install, install to inactive slot (after OTA) after it's done you can REBOOT.
The module keeps your twrp
Flashing magisk to inactive slot will root the update you just installed
I was installing the OTA normally, without TWRP. It worked just fine last time.
You shouldn't install any OTA if you are rooted.
Only full roms.

On OOS it knows if you are rooted and will download full ROM,so it's fine if you install a/b twrp magisk module after (keeps twrp) and then install magisk to inactive slot .
What happened here is he probably forgot to install twrp and magisk probably got to the wrong slot, hence the wipe
Not only probably. I did not install TWRP after the OTA. And I probably got the Magisk slot right (I installed it to other slot though the manager). Thanks for your help!
So next time:
OTA
Check if all dev USB-settings are enabled (?)
Shut off
Boot to TWRP
Install TWRP
Install Magisk to new slot
Boot up
Seems right?

no.... you do what i wrote like 3 posts up.. DO NOT REBOOT!!
After every single rom flash, TWRP, from android or fastboot or whatever way you install any rom TWRP will be replaced, aswell as boot.img (magisk is there)
OTA
DONT REBOOOOOOTT!!!
go to magisk, search for A/B twrp module, install it
DONT REBOOT
Go to main screen of magisk
install, install, install to inactive slot.
done..
your way will wipe TWRP.
From twrp:
Flash rom zip
flash twrp
reboot to twrp
flash magisk
done
Oh yeah. I completely forgot about that the TWRP retention script exists. Perfect. This is exactly what I did last time. Thanks!
