unrooted overnight - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

I've got a OnePlus 6T, I woke up this morning seeing that magisk had an update 20.1 however I didn't have root access anymore so I had to flash that update via twrp.
What could've caused the phone to unroot by itself ? There was no OTA that I was aware of. I was on 9.0.17 and I'm still on that this morning so that couldn't of unrooted it.
Any ideas of what happened ? Thanks

Hi, this is the 6 forum and not 6t.
Also,its known that root is lost randomly for some users since months back.

I'm on the 6. i can confirm that root is randomly lost for me as well. It doesn't happen often and a reboot always fixes it. Not a big deal for me. Try a reboot.

[Q] Can Only Boot to Recovery

About 30 minutes ago my phone was working fine, the last thing I remember doing was sending a text. A few minutes later I look down at my phone and notice it is in recovery. At this point I'm confused wondering how it got there, but figure it's whatever and reboot into system. It reboots back into recovery and at this point I'm kinda freaking out. I do a backup, wipe, and restore from a backup ~2 weeks ago. Again, rebooting just causes my phone to go into recovery.
Earlier today there was a notification on my phone about an update but I just ignored it as I didn't have time to deal with it. I assume that it automatically was applied and that is what caused this problem.
edit: If you have this problem, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/fix-stuck-custom-recovery-trying-ota-t2907508
Same thing just happened to me.
I turned off OTA from earlier today and also removed the notification using AppOps and now I can't boot to anything but TWRP

Was coming here to say this worked - I was already doing this.
I'm back up and running again.
Not sure wtf caused the issue - I didn't take the OTA and have been fine on the phone all day until just now

I was the same - the zip file fixed my issue - didn't have to start over
Gotta love XDA.. i was getting ready for bed.. saw a bright light, it was my phone. Same thing as mentioned. only rooted and bumped. Have been denying the OTA. Even did the hidden menu trick, but still got notifications for some reason. Flashing the ZIP showed success; trying to restore my back up now.

Once you flash the zip you shouldn't need to restore. I just clicked on reboot system and was back in

Well i had to restore the newest back up, because I restored an old back up to see of it would reboot correctly. All works fine now. Still very weird.

I mean I still have Root and TWRP, I might have factory reset in my panic last night before finding the fix above. Probably the cause of losing all my apps and data
ATTT Forced UPDATE
It would appear after cruising the forums this morning that ATT forced an update to all users last night. It happened to me and many others like yourself. even people that had turned off updates in the hidden menu. It is total crap and not to happy about it obviously. good thing it sent me into a boot loop, and @autoprime zip fixed me up, even though i was back up on stock rooted, I took this opportunity to move over to the PoweruserV1 international rom to attempt to keep this from happening again. Luckily our DEVS are getting development moving and soon this will be a thing of the past....
I froze Software Update with TB and did not get auto updated last night and have not gotten any new nags today. I did try to update yesterday and got the stuck in TWRP thing and flashed the fix to get back working.

whats the name of the apk to freeze? Thanks
Just adding to this, that it was 'forced' onto me as well, and also sent me to soft brick loop (TWRP), so I'm having to use the get out of jail thread. THANKS LG!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!! (#[email protected]%&*!!!!) This is the LAST time I trust another corporate BS liar's announcement that they care about the 'community' and are going to try and be nice 'from here on out'. Moving forward, it will be NEXUS and nothing else for me.

It is called Software Update in TB. I only have it frozen since last night so hopefully this does the trick...it also removes update option from settings FYI.
Anyone else have this happen again last night? Phone was fine at 5am, woke up at 8:30 to recovery. Flashed the same zip and now it's all fine again.
Freeze software update with titanium backup so your phone doesn't try to install the update agian
wow att and their updates f*** with everything, currently having a locked s4 with old firm of mf3. i plan on upgrading my device but on the fence with all this lock down bs. switching to tmobile seems like a decent option...... so confused and undecided

Bad first experience

Has anyone else had any of these problems with their oneplus 6?
-files disappear after each reboot
-keyboard stops functioning on lock screen and I can't unlock the device
-apps randomly losing their data such as Snapchat/Instagram and I have to log back in
-can't use any other keyboard with a password since the device comes encrypted. My s7 used default keyboard before being decrypted.
I have factory reset at least 3-4 times since I have owned the device.
Oneplus customer support said in regards to my files being randomly deleted, "You should just backup your stuff with google drive". Is that really the solution? Just expect my files to be erased and have to recover from backup after each reboot? Most of the customer support people never understand my problems that I am trying to tell them and I can hardly understand them either. Sorry for ranting a bit. I was excited to get rid of my galaxy s7 and try something new that I was told has good rom support and little no bloat on stock ROM, but I've been very disappointed. I guess after seeing their customer support is partnered with Acer it makes sense.
Try a factory reset. I haven't heard anyone report such issues on OP6 before. If it still doesn't work after a factory reset, I would look for a warranty replacement

I've factory reset 3-4 times and still have the same issues. Corrupted ROM perhaps? I have seen a few people on one plus forums talk about how their files are being deleted, but those threads disappear magically. I talked to two people today who have the same issue.

I've been using it for almost a week with 0 issues... It's probably a faulty unit you're having, make sure it's running the latest 5.1.8 software.
Try installing a custom rom and see if it sorts things out

Download full zip and flash it via system update
which files is it deleting and from what directory? never had any issues, really think a fresh install is best way, start over and don't do any fancy crap at first (root, etc). Root I used to do to every phone, fight and cuss it out because I was not careful, now I never ever root and I'm much happier

It's possible you had a bad flash or bad download. Download a fresh copy of 5.1.8, check the MD5, and install from the system updater (not twrp). If the problems persist, you may have a faulty unit. In nearly a month, I haven't had any of the problems you describe.

Fingerprint reader stopped working

I had no issues with the reader since the beginning but since yesterday it doesn't recognize my fingerprints. I tried re-adding them multiple times it works for the first few tries but stops after a while and doesn't matter how many times I try it doesn't recognize my finger. Anyone having this issue? I'm on the latest beta I've updated when it came out and had no issues. I got my phone straight from op when it came out...Any help would be appreciated...
Try going to stable. I've never been on the open beta but I assume, since it's beta, there might be some issues present.

Thanks for the reply but this doesn't say anything about downgrading without wipe and it will be my last resort anyway I'm not even sure the issue is the beta...

You can flash the full .zip of the latest stable 10.0.3 thru TWRP. Make sure you uninstall all magisk modules. That's what i did from beta 6 to latest stable and i didn't have any problem and didn't lose data.?

Quote from the thread I linked. Sounds like you can switch to stable easily enough without data loss. Even if you're not sure it's the issue, it seems easy enough to see if it works.

More information needed.
Bootloader state unlocked or not, MIUI version or custom Rom version, Magisk used or not, what were you doing right before auto rebooting, what is the state now (in bootloop/recovery/fastboot or in system)... etc. Screenshots better.
You can try to update the system if there is update available.
Same here. I'm using TWRP + EU ROM 12.0.6.0 Global + Unlock Bootloader. System was reboot randomly without any notice. At first i install Magist and root device but right now no root and already uninstall Magisk. But system still automatically reboot in randomly times usually about 2-3 times reboot in a day.

Try a complete clean flash with current version which will format all data. Backup your stuff if you want to do this.
If after clean flash the issue persist, it's likely Rom's problem.
If after clean flash the issue vanished, problem is likely due to apps you use.

I was facing this problem on PPUI rom and assumed that issue was with the rom so installed MIUI EU 12.5.1 version which seems to have fixed the issue. But it seems cause was not the ROM but something different.

For me now all problems have subsided. I haven't encountered any problems since last week. I didn't even update. The problem just vanished. Thank goodness. Btw, keep an eye out for One UI 4 Android 12 update. It's fix most of the problems. And might bring new problems too lmao
Oh amazing!! I'm happy for you! I most certainly will, I'm looking forward to the update. The weirdness is that it only happens very occasionally! Like, in total I've encountered it less than 10 times I guess. It happened three days ago and again today (while I certainly use my phone a few hours a day).

Let's hope your phone also would get better soon. It's not like a software problem or anything. I don't know what kind of sorcery this is. Samsung must have put a spell on these phones
Haha thank you! I still hope that it's a random and weird software issue, so that it can be solved in the next update lol.
