Magisk Root without TWRP for OnePlus 6 Oxygen OS Android 10 Open Beta 5 | OOS 10.3.1

Latest TWRP doesn't support Android Pie 9.0 for OnePlus 6, or at least for me it didn't.
So, I've made a Magisk patched boot image for Android P that we can flash it in fastboot bootloader.
Note: This is not Oxygen OS ROM, this is just a patched boot img for Oxygen OS to make root work. You need to unlock the bootloader before proceeding with anything.
Note 2: Please disable Magisk modules in the Magisk Manager before flashing the patched boot, because some modules might not support the latest OOS and your device will bootloop. If the modules has been updated by the devs to support the latest OOS you can install the modules after that.
Note 3: Sorry guys, I haven't tested the Android Q Developer Previews. Even though Magisk is supported on Q, please flash it at your own risk.
For older versions download from here: Google Drive
Folder updated with Stock boot images as well.

Code:
fastboot boot (patched_boot_filename_here).img
or
fastboot flash boot (patched_boot_filename_here).img
Thanks @vlaf
reboot to system (if you make another reboot the root won't stick, so continue with the following steps)
Open Magisk (in settings select beta channel) and click install and install Magisk again with Direct Install (recommended)
reboot again and the root will stick even after the reboot.
The thread I followed for the instructions is here. Thanks for @b1czu

Even easier way to root without TWRP:
1. Install OTA update (Don't reboot).
2. Open Magisk Manager, install Magisk and choose "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)" (Now reboot).
3. Now you are rooted without TWRP and without any boot img hassles as well.

wow dude that's useful. I don't need TWRP that bad but I need root to use Titanium backups.
Thanks man！

Not work here. Bootloop, only see Bootanimation not more.

Did you try hiding Pokemon Go in Magisk hide? Because the latest update addressed the Pokemon Go issue as far as I know.

Yeah I did, but I rebooted an additional time and everything works now!

Easy way to install twrp is to fastboot boot twrp. From there, you must turn on adb sideload and push twrp to phone because it will not decrypt storage. After install, reboot to recover and it will ask for password to decrypt. Then just flash magisk to have root with working twrp. Also, you have to use twrp 3.2.2 or it will crash.

The first one, ctsProfile, fails. But the second one basicintegrity passes. I believe the only app I use that checks safetynet is PokemonGo and that works for me.

[ROOT] and [Solve] every issue in oxgyen os open beta {1/2/3} (Android pie 9.0)

I've managed to solve all problem by rooting and installing magisk
1. Some apps may not work properly
I have tried every app I used in oreo and each app works fine (I know this is not a solution )
2. Google pay not works
Solution-Google pay works by using a magisk module called
*tezhider4magisk*
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528042557
3. Google play shows device not certified
Solution - Google play shows device is certified using magisk module called
*ClearPlayStoreWithServiesData4Magisk*
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890278863836289937
4. Safety net not passed in magisk on open beta 1/2/3
Solution - for safety net to pass in magisk we need to edit a line in build.prop (have to some file explore like es file explorer or root explorer to edit build.prop)
Replace
ro.build.fingerprint=OnePlus/OnePlus6/OnePlus6:9/PKQ1.180716.001/1808301430:user/release-keys

Woah! Sorry about that, I guess I should have tested it first on P. I'll flash OOS Open Beta 2 today and then try this mod. Will update if it works.

Can we get incremental ota update even when unlocked and magisk installed (no twrp)?

I cant boot once I flash Magisk 17.1
Every time I flash magisk, I get in boot loop. I have used official and Blue TWRP both to flash magisk every time I am in boot loop.
I have to reflash everything to get booting. How to root OB 2 now

droid-devz,
Flash Oos ob02, then twrp blu spark.
Reboot to twrp to check if it's working. Flash Magisk 17.1.
Reboot to system.

You'll just lose root everytime you update and have to install just magisk again
Don't install custom recovery that causes problems I guess use the above method (in the thread)

Probably not..magisk root rewrites the boot image..safest bet would be to use update manager to flash whole rom updates, then reinstall magisk.

CAUTION:
With the latest update of the BETA 2, once you give the command in fastboot "fastboot boot twrp.img" the phone goes into softbrick with a Qualcomm screen. Has anyone found an alternative method?

Can't install Magisk 17.1 on OxygenOS Pie Open Beta 2

Just updated my phone to Open beta 2, dirty flashed it and it booted up. works perfectly fine. but after i tried to flash magisk 17.1 , it won't boot. stuck at the boot animation.
im using blu spark twrp to flash the magisk.
btw i had magisk installed on 5.1.11 and it works fine too.
any suggestions ? thxx.
UPDATE (09/12) : Issues fixed by installing the uninstaller first then install the magisk 17.1 zip. thx to exelinguy.

Try to do the whole flash procedure again.
Boot into recovery
Flash beta2
Flash twrp
Reboot to twrp
Flash magisk
Boot to system
That way it will be installed on both partitions, could/should do the trick.

it depends on the situation. If you're on the Open beta updating to a newer build, the data will still be there, but if you're on the open beta downgrading a build or downgrading to oreo, your data will be lost.

When you install rom, install twrp and reboot to twrp it changes slot. If he has done it 2 times both slots are tested.

Android Q Pixel 3 XL ROOT users Q&A

I am starting this thread for us users and experiences while using Android Q. What works, what doesn't. I am not a dev. I am a user. Not here to bash anyone if something doesn't work. @topjohnwu just got root released for this last night.
So one thing I found which I am sure will fixed soon is
SD MAID not working.
Afwall is working.
Systemui tuner working
Button mapper working
I am sure as we go on and they will all work great. But like I said this is just a post what you found thread. If something does work, post it. If something doesn't, post it. Even if someone needs something like an apk. Ask and shall receive. This is a time of helping each other. Not flaming and bashing. Thank you to everyone that has read this and thank you to all the great devs out there and thank you to us users that can exchange information peacefully.

I am using a custom kernel so I didn't try to root the stock boot image. But it seems other people are rooting the stock boot image. I would hope they can help you. If I get around to it, I will try and root the stock boot image to see if it works. Someone should be able to help. Custom kernel roots just fine

Custom kernel. Singular is a go. That's what I'm running. I didn't have to flash both slots. That doesn't make sense at all. I am going to get my lazy ass off the veranda and flash the rooted boot image.
Edit: I have Pie in my inactive slot and QBeta 4 in my active slot. If that makes any sense to you guys?

What's the problem? Flashed to active slot only.

Your doing something wrong if you can't root the stock boot image

When I originally rooted Q I did it ota patch inactive slot. Bootlooped. I just went to factory recovery and wiped data. Has worked ever since. I believe mine was looping to modules not being compatible with Q yet. Also if you grab the Q image and pull the boot image. You can patch it that way too. With Q, it is finicky with apps because of isolated storage. Which is weird because zarchiver still sees all files but amaze only sees root directory. Files app I noticed is saying some files I have are folders and not disk images. Zarchiver says it right still. Fastboot -w to manually remove all data too. Sometimes Titan m drive can cause weird things that is why I go to stock recovery and wipe it that way, wipes the Titan m drive too.

Did anybody already try to flash ainur sound mod and can report if it's working? For me the main reason to unlock bootloader again and start root procedure on Q...

Do you have any modules for magisk on your phone? Almost none work at the moment. They are working to get them up and running. Also old data can cause bootloops. Did you leave the Preserve AVB unchecked? If you have Q up and running, check that you are getting the latest magisk zip when patching too.

Click on advanced settings. And make sure when you did patch it, it wasn't checked. It should not be now with 10. With pie it is. Q will not work with it checked. It will double check system to the other partition. And the slot with magisk doesn't match the untouched slot.

Tried Multiple Ways to get Android 10...All Result in some sort of Bootloop

So I have a rooted Pixel 3 through Magisk that I have been updating monthly up until this point via flashing the factory image with the flash.bat edited to remove "-w" from it to ensure that my phone does not become wiped after flashing each month's update. Afterwards, I would boot up the temporary TWRP image to then install the Magisk zip to re-root it. This had worked well up until this point. However, this month with the Android 10 update, this method has failed me. For this month, I did the exact same thing...download the factory image extract the image and other parts (including the flash.bat file), edit the flash.bat file and run. The issue was after flashing, the phone would try to boot and then get stuck at the G-logo with the loading bar under. It would use up about 5-10 mins to try and boot up, then fail, and then reboot again, fail again a second time and then just go fastboot mode. I tried this with both the .019 and .020 firmware and both failed me. In order to fix my phone, I'd just install the factory image of the August update instead, which had no issue.
I next attempted to ADB sideload the OTA update. I made sure to start with an unrooted install of the August update (by doing what I said above), and then using stock recovery would use ADB sideload with the new Sept OTA update. After sideloading, when trying to boot up the phone would attempt to boot around 7-9 times and just fail as it kept trying and trying to load up. Again, needed to fix it by flashing the August update.
I've done a bit of reading and it seems people have done factory resets and wipes of the phone before finally having success updating their phone to Android 10. I'm really hoping a method to fix this WITHOUT needing to do a factory wipe of my phone....

if you haven't already, try downloading the latest fastboot binaries from google.
Also FYI rooting Android Q on Pixel 3 is still difficult because TWRP doesn't support Android Q yet.

Are you referring to the SDK Platform tools? I was using version 29.0.2 from July for the past week until I recently saw 29.0.3 popup in the last day or so (was released a few days AFTER the factory images for Android 10 were released). Have tried with 29.0.3 and still not working. I get the issue "no valid slot to boot".

You might have already tried it but if not you could try flash without -w both slots just to make sure everything is synced up? I've had to do this once in a while to correct weird stuff. There may be better ways but when I remove -w I then add --skip-reboot. Then you can change slots with 'fastboot set_active SLOT' after the flash without rebooting and then simply run the flash again.

What version of magisk manager are you using? You need the canary build. Then modify the boot image with it and flash that thru fastboot. You can't flash the magisk zip in twrp anymore, at this time.

Since attempting to switch to Android 10, I've been using the latest Canary build of Magisk Manager, currently 7.3.3-f383d11d (234).
The thing though is that it's bootlooping before I even attempt to root. Like after attempting to update the firmware on it's first attempt the device is bootlooping. It's happening when it's stock (no patched boot image. I've tried it with both the stock firmware, and also flashing the patched boot image before it's first boot up after the update and both cases there's a bootloop.

You possibly need to completely uninstall magisk. But of course twrp is not working on 10 so that's a non- starter. See the last 3 or 4 pages of the twrp thread for the 3xl. @Tulsadiver has a boot image file that i think will work for you.

No, i think you need to do it now. You have some half installed magisk and it's not letting you boot. You need a work around that to get it to boot. If i read correctly, you've already tried to flash the stock firmware with the - w in the flash all batch file. But check out that thread in the 3xl forum and see if others have been successful with it.

If you're talking about right now, I'm back on August update, so still Android 9, with my phone rooted via Magisk and everything is currently functional. So use TWRP, flash the latest Magisk Uninstaller?
Afterwards what should I do after? I'm looking in the TWRP thread for the 3XL, is THIS the boot image you would like me to try? Should I be flashing that boot image AFTER updating to Android 10 (if it works)?

Try fastboot boot image-new.img, this image. It should boot core-only mode and you can then see if you have some modules installed that need to be removed (/data/ADB/modules). It is not zipped. Just rename it as image-new.img

Yes, flash uninstaller if you can or maybe in magisk manager click uninstall. Modules survive updates and you might have pie modules that obviously aren't meant for Android 10.

Alright I'll try running the magisk uninstaller zip in twrp later tonight.
I haven't installed any modules but I did use the systemless hosts setting (for Adaway) and I do see it in my "modules" tab. Wonder if that's the culprit.
The boot image you have posted, is that to be flashed after/if Android 10 boots up successfully after flashing the factory image?

Curious, how do you run the uninstaller in TWRP without a working TWRP?
The image I posted is to recover from bootloop caused by bad modules. Phone should boot up with modules disabled.

I boot the temporary TWRP image for Android 9 as it works on that. I'd assume I would use the install option with the uninstaller zip? Keep in mind currently I'm on Android 9 right now (every time I bootloop due to the Android 10 flashing not working, I run the flash.bat script to reinstall the August firmware).
And speaking of nonworking TWRP on Android 10...if for some reason magisk causes bootloop, in order to uninstall magisk, would I need to adb sideload it then?

OK seriously....really have no idea what the issue is. In TWRP on Android 9, I flashed the Magisk Uninstaller zip then attempted to run the flash.bat file to try and flash Android 10. Exact same issue before with the bootloop. Before that, I also tried flashing Android 10 after I had removed the Systemless Hosts "module" that was there (yes, I did restart the phone first after removing it), same thing with the bootloop. I have no clue.

Update Sept. 24:
Whelp, seems like people are just as out of ideas as I am. I tried today the NEW firmware Google just released (.20.C3, differs from the one released earlier in the month) as well as the newest SDK Platform Tools (29.0.4, a second update that was released in September), still not working. I installed the factory image using the edited flash-all.bat file (removing "-w") and again, device tries to boot up twice and then restart back in fastboot mode, with the issue being "no valid slot to boot".
EDIT: Re-flashed August firmware back onto the phone, and then tried to sideload the new .20.C3 firmware as a OTA (yes, I made sure to use the OTA zip and not the factory image), now just continuously bootlooping. I think I'm on bootloop #5 or 6 right now.

FINALLY have a positive update. I have Cerberus, an anti-theft app on my phone that I tried to uninstall just for the sake of trying to see if some apps were causing compatibility issues. I was trying this after reading one of the really long threads on the Google support threads that someone managed to get the Android 10 update to work AFTER removing some apps. After taking some time to finally remove Cerberus for the time being, I once again tried to flash the factory image for Android 10 (the newest one, .20.C3) and it ACTUALLY managed to work. I'm now finally on Android 10.
With my own device finally figured out, I think I may give my wife and dad's devices a try to update to Android 10 (they're on Pixel 2 and 2XL respectively). I installed Cerberus on their devices as well and I think I'm gonna try removing that first and seeing if that manages to allow me to update the Pixel 2 and the 2XL to Android 10.
