I just checked my 4a with the Check for Updates button under settings and Android 11 is there waiting for me to d/l and install.

I successfully applied the OTA update, then extracted the boot.img from the full image (both versions matching RP1A.200720.011), patched with Magisk, and then flashed it, but now phone wont boot. Just getting the G startup logo for over 10 min now. Has anyone had success with this method? Is there a better way to do it?

Just updated with no issues, but I'm not rooted yet. Only thing I really want is custom accent color (red), so not sure if it's worth rooting.

hate to say it but I think at this point that Magisk 20.4 (Manager 7.5.1) cannot root Android 11 on this phone. I have posted this finding on the rooting thread asking if anyone has had success:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-4a/how-to/guide-unlock-root-pixel-4a-t4153773/page4

I unrooted, applied update, installed Magisk Canary build, patched boot image from downloaded Factory Image, fastboot flash boot... and have successfully rooted my 4a on w/11.

Well I got an email from Google saying that android 11 was waiting for me to download. So I checked updates and it says my device is up to date. So I guess maybe verizon does hold up updates.

where did you find it? nvrmnd https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/tree/canary

@tcat007 @fronto
For anyone looking to root, you need magisk canary, latest build at time of writing (20424) works fine for me. Took the OTA from 10 to 11 following the magisk OTA update guide here worked like a charm: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/ota.html
However, somethings seemed to have changed in 11. For audio apps like jdsp and v4a, you'll need to run this in terminal (only needs done once):
Code:
su -c settings put global hidden_api_policy 1
Also note that sbin is gone too (least on pixel 4a) so v4a app install won't work properly (it's being worked on)

You need to use latest canary
Stable doesn't yet support 11 afaik

You only need Canary to create the patched boot file. After it's been flashed, you can run Stable.
Just flash the pre-patched boot file and keep stable:
magisk_patched_sunfish-rp1a.200720.011.img

Yeah I dont like that canary Magisk so I used your advice and flashed the patched boot.img and then went back to stable Magisk. I am a little underwhelmed with Android 11 maybe its just me.

good deal...yeah I figured with the pre-patched boot.img, a lot of people could avoid messing with canary alltogether and just keep normal stable.
Agreed 11 does not seem all that revolutionary. ...but all is working well now with no complaints

If you’re running boot imaged patched with magisk canary then your running magisk canary

Yeah brother all I was saying is that I dont like the canary design for Magisk Manager so I went back to stable for manager only.

Thank you for the upload. Can this be flashed in magisk? I presume no.
Can you clarify the steps? I'm already on android 10 rooted.
1. Uninstall magisk / Restore image
2.. Download install Android 11 / no reboot
3..... ? Then with patched boot.
Thank you

Its not flashed in Magisk. Its flashed using fastboot via a computer connection. With that file, you never need to touch Canary manager.
1. uninstall Magisk but you keep Magisk Manager
2. update to Android 11 via OTA or with full image provided you revise the flash-all to not wipe, or just manually issue each command.
3. make sure your 11 is up and running
4. reboot to bootloader, connect PC
5. fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_sunfish-rp1a.200720.011.img
6. reboot and open regular stable Magisk Manager
enjoy

I've rooted my 4a with magisk with the Aug factory image (android 10). I have the both Titanium Pro and Mybackup Pro - Do either of those programs create an image backup similar to the image I create of my PC using a program like Acronis, so that I could just re-install the Android 10 system if I don't like Android 11? If those programs don't do that is there any program that will do that?

Has anyone else noticed x google enrollment then updating message every (re) boot? I must have done something wrong. I got magisk working nicely. Can install itself, modules, ctsProfile is true, whatevs... But nothing else gets a su toast. Not too worried with it this first week or so.. I'll stab again weekend after next.

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
a10, twrp and root working

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

Thanks again mate.. I will give this one a try.
there is a problem with Magisk 20.1, after all flashes the system is booting ok with Magisk working but after I give first program root access and rebooting its stuck on bootloader and not booting to system.

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.

How to Root OnePlus 8T Build 11.0.6.8.KB05AA

I previously had Magisk installed and rooted my 8T with Build 11.6.5.KB05AA. I followed some instructions on how to install an OTA update. I uninstalled Magisk and ran the OTA update. The instructions advise me to install Magisk on the inactive slot. However, I do not have this option. Instead, I only have Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verify and Recovery Mode. I don't have TWRP installed so I don't think this will work. I've tried selecting Preserve and not selecting Preserve and selecting Next in Magisk. My next option is to "select and patch a file". I downloaded the bin for 11.0.6.8 and extracted it using payload_dumper and Python and copied it to my phone. However, whenever I try to patch it, Magisk states installation failed.
So, I figured I would finish the install of 11.0.6.8 and rebooted the phone using the update installation reboot button. I figured I'd just start from scratch and root following the original root instructions. My bootloader is already unlocked. I copied the boot.img from 11.0.6.8 to my phone and tried to patch using Magisk (again, I only have the options above). Again, it failed.
What am I doing wrong? Why won't Magisk patch the boot.img file? Shouldn't it work like an original attempt to root it?
Thanks.

Make sure you download the latest canary magisk manager. It sound like you might be on an older magisk version.

I seem to have the Canary Update channel set already (I thought it was set to Stable, but I guess not). Doesn't that mean I already have the latest Canary build? Manager shows that latest is 6951d926 (21402) (16) but Installed shows 658d74e0 (21402) (16). I assume this means they are different? Install doesn't seem to update it. Maybe grab the latest APK from Github? Thanks.
Later: Can I install it on my phone by download Magisk v21.4 zip and changing extension to APK and installing it? I thought I read everything is now in the zip/apk? Thanks.
FINAL UPDATE: OK, I downloaded the latest MagiskManager, not the one from Canary. I was then able to patch the boot file. The phone rebooted, but it's not working just right yet. None of my icons show up on my home screen, although if I press the recent apps list, it shows a bunch of apps, although selecting one doesn't do anything. I might have to put the original boot image back on just to get it to boot and worry about rooting later. Sigh. It's always something.

In the latest canary apk released today he moved over to that the apk bundle magisk as well and don't need to download it anymore but it shouldn't matter for this case. There is no working custom recovery for Oneplus 8T right now. But if there was and it was updated you would be able to flash the apk.
You did not have to uninstall Magisk. When you would complete the OTA, instead of rebooting you should go into Magisk and select install to inactive slot. As you uninstalled magisk, you're not getting this option. Uninstalling magisk is different from disabling the modules.
Now you need to root it again using the same method given in other thread. Rooting 11.0.6.8 is no different from the rooting process for previous OOS versions.

I was able to patch the new boot image and flashed it but when I rebooted nothing worked quite right. None of my apps would run. I could get into settings but couldn't get out of it. I flashed the unrooted boot image and am able to use the phone. I'll try again tomorrow.
The instructions I followed said to uninstall Magisk first. Now wish I hadn't. I suppose worse comes to worse I can figure out how to reinstall 6.5 cause I was able to root that. Thanks for the reply.

I was looking at a different guide, but will try the one you recommend. I'm aware there is no TWRP for the 8T. I did use that method for my prior OP6. I did patch and flash the patched boot image, but none of my apps appeared on my home page so I flashed the unrooted boot image so I could at least use the phone. Thanks.

The instructions definitely lied to you...
Now:
1. Take the 11.0.6.8 boot image
2. Patch it with magisk (latest beta is fine, you don't need alpha anymore)
3. Boot the patched image
4. Install magisk manager in case it's not installed
5. Check it for root, if all is fine do install --> direct install
6. Reboot

When you say Boot the patched image, I assume you mean fastboot flash it to the device?
I tried updating Magisk using a beta channel, but then manager wouldn't work at all. I just wouldn't run. So I reinstalled Manager 8.0.7 from the APK I downloaded and now I don't have Canary as an update channel. I keep alternative between having a Magisk icon and a separate manager icon. Weird. I'm trying to only wind up with latest manager installed so I can re-root the phone. Thanks.
LATER: Success! I followed the steps here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-oneplus-8t-easy-root-for-all-unlocked-variants.4210775/. And everything worked (which was linked in a prior message). Thanks to all!

I am about to root my 8t using the guide someone linked above. My question is.. I'm on ver. 11.0.5.6.KB05AA will I still be able to root if I update or will it take away the ability to root.. also, will it affect the quality of the root ? Thanks in Advance.

[OP7][OOS11] root not working with Magisk patched boot.img

Hey,
Yesterday i received the official global version of Ogygen OS 11 (OnePlus7Oxygen_14.E.35_OTA_0350_all_2103221233) for my Oneplus 7 which made me happy and i installed it on my current TWRP and root Ogygen OS 10. Afterwards my root and TWRP was gone. I read many threads now about that TWRP is not available currently for Android 11. So i was stuck with extracting the boot.img from the stock zip file and patching it with the latest canary Magisk (66e30a77 (22006)). The patch is successful.
After i flashed the boot.img to boot_a and boot_b via fastboot the phone restarted but there was still no root. (Magisk still showed that its not installed and superuser rights for Magisk also weren't granted->notification during start).
After trying and validating that i used the latest version of everything and also did a factory reset and tried the same handling again, i tried to use the latest beta Oxygen OS11 stock image for flashing the boot.img (same handling as before). After flashing i gained superuser rights and magisk was installed but no bluetooth and WIFI was working so there was an issue (is clear because it was not the same stock zip).
So does anyone of you might have already an solution for this?
Rgds,
Matthias

Hello,
Did you see this thread right below yours?
Android 11 OB4
Just installed OB4, anybody got a boot.img file or magisk patched boot image file? Also any news on TWRP for Android 11? Thanks in anticipation OK I was just lazy hoping somebody Elese did the work. Ended up using my OB2 patched boot image file...
forum.xda-developers.com
Magisk canary can also cause a lot of issues. I'm using 22.0.
Hey thank you! I already saw this and tried it out before to get TWRP working as in the Oxygen OS 11 Beta but this TWRP version does not work with the official OOS11 for the Oneplus 7. It's strange that on Open Beta it works and now its not working.
Watching this thread because I'm stuck too. I either need locked bootloader or unlocked with Magisk
Does anyone already has a solution to this one?
I got the OTA today for 11.0.0.2, rooted fine with Magisk 22.1. Check out my guide:

Lost root after installing TWRP. Can anyone share patched boot image for 11.0.5.1.GM21AA?

As above, I would appreciate it if someone could share a copy of a Magisk patched 11.0.5.1.GM21AA boot image. Thanks!
P.S. - Do not update to Magisk 24 or 24.1 unless you want to have to mess around with your phone!

I also had problems with updating Magisk trough the app. No root after reboot.
Could not get root access with flashing magisk in twrp. I tried several version of magisk but nothing worked. Ended up using the patched boot.img
Dont know what the problem is.

I also had problems with updating Magisk trough the app. No root after reboot.
Could not get root access with flashing magisk in twrp. I tried several version of magisk but nothing worked. Ended up using the patched boot.img
Dont know what the problem is.

Thanks a lot!
I managed to get Magisk 23 installed, would the patched boot image be different from yours?

How did you do??
I tried to downgrade Magisk to 23.0 due to the lack of Magisk Hide but now my OnePlus 7 Pro is no longer rooted. So I tried to re-root it in several ways (flashing boot.img previously patched with Magisk Manager or by directly installing Magisk.zip with TWRP) but nothing to do, still without root...
I would like to try to use another boot.img but I would need one taken from a rom 11.0.5.1.GM21BA and patched with Magisk 23. I can't find it on the net.

Once you've upgraded to 24 or 24.1 it seems that the only way to go back to an older version is to use the built-in uninstall button in the Magisk app. Just trying to flash a new boot image over it doesn't seem to stick.
In my case, I had to:
Uninstall any version of the Magisk app
Install 24.1
Extract the boot image using Payload Dumper
Creating a 24.1 patched boot image to re-root my device
Uninstalling 24.1 using the uninstall button in the Magisk app
Install Canary Magisk (23 should work too)
Create a new 23 patched boot image and root using it
Still have not gotten around to fixing my MagiskHide and SafetyNet failing though, I think that requires some cache clearing and other steps to resolve. Also somehow managed to get rid of my TWRP accidentally along the way too, so I'll have to reinstall that again.
Thanks a lot!

I only see an "Install" button in the Magisk 24.1 app. I don't see an "Uninstall" button.
Were you already rooted when you saw the Uninstall button?

See steps 1-4. You have to temporarily root it by flashing a patched boot image (that was patched with 24.1) so that you can use the root privileges to uninstall Magisk. It's kinda ass-backwards I know...lol

Yep, that's weird. I was having (a ton of) trouble getting my phone rooted at the time, so that's why I didn't see it.

Updated to OOS 11.05.1.GM21AA, Magisk not working, TWRP too

Hi - I installed OOS 11.05.1.GM21AA on my OP7P today, and patched my boot.img file with Magisk 24.1.
After going into Fastboot Mode and doing a fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_boot.img, my OP7P rebooted OK, but my OP7P isn't rooted.
Is there something new that I am missing?
Also, is there a way to get both TWRP 3.6.x and Magisk to be available in the same patched boot image? It looks like TWRP completely overwrites the Magisk modded boot.img file, and then is stuck in a Recovery bootloop.
Thanks,
¿GJ?

Is this the Oxygen Updater App you are referring to, or is it the incremental OTA that I would get from a "OnePlus system update" on a now unrooted and unTWRP'd phone?
Also ... Will I lose any data if I downgrade to 11.04? I've never downgraded before, so do I just install the stock 11.04 image via TWRP like I did the 11.05 image?
Lastly ... I'm assuming this will just get me root, but not including TWRP?

1. Yes that is the app Iam talking about.
2. Will you lose data? I always do a format (after the down grade) so I lost data but I never tried it with out formating, it might work, you could try it and see what happens .If it acts strange then it will need a format.
3. Yes you install 11.04 via twrp
4. Yes you will get root but if you want twrp you will have to reinstall
Once you down grade install the oxygen updater, let it download the update , don't let it install it, you can then grab the update from your root directory as it doesn't hide it, then your good to go, you can extract the boot.img by using payload dumper, then take the boot.img and patch that with the magisk app . ( Just install the magisk app on your downgraded 11.04 you don't need root to run the app ) ,,Then after your thru upgrading to 11.05 and after setup just reboot to bootloader and run the magisk patched boot.img, ( fastboot flash boot boot.img) reboot and wait a minute for the magisk app to appear ,it will want to install and do a reboot . Then you can install twrp if you want.
This is how I did it and it worked, you may find a simpler way once you start doing it ,, hth
I'm reluctant to go and do a total wipe (which I have been reading will be required to downgrade).
I'm wondering if the problem I'm facing is that my OP7P needed to be rooted for Magisk 24.1 to be able to successfully patch the latest OP7P build? My OP7P isn't rooted right now although I have v24.1 installed.
I accidentally had installed the latest 11.0.5 OTA before I had a chance to attempt re-rooting.

Right now I have 11.05 installed and Iam rooted, tomorrow I will unroot and downgrade to 11.04 without wiping and let you know what happens iam curious myself
I'm rooted now. I did have to wipe my OP7P to get root (due solely to my own heavy-handed approach to getting root again).
I posted in another thread, and I think that the thing that might have made a difference for me wasn't that I wiped, but possibly that I removed encryption before installing the Magisk-patched boot image.

I guess that's possible , I never thought of that, the only way to know is to do a fresh install only this time setup encryption then try to install magisk . But for now your rooted,, until the bug hits you or me to try another rom then we can start the whole thing over again,,
