Unable to regain root after OTA - OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers

After installing the OTA update for OxygenOS 11 (15.O.30, IN21AA) I only installed Magisk into the inactive slot and lost root.
I downloaded the original firmware from this thread, extracted boot.img, patched it (using Magisk 20.4 and Magisk Manager 8.0.3 (314)), transferred to PC and renamed it boot.img.
Then I booted using:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
After rebooting I still only have two options in Magisk Manager: "Download Zip Only" and "Select and Patch a File". I guess that means I didn't gain root temporarily.
Am I doing something wrong? What can I do to regain root?

Always better to use your own boot. Use twrp to backup system. Move backup to pc and extract boot from backup. Move extracted boot to phone. Patch extracted boot with magisk.
Fastboot boot patched_magisk
Once booted you should have temp root. Then use install direct option in magisk 21

Thanks! Making sure I understand correctly:
Download Unofficial TWRP from this thread (first post in thread says 'no Android 11 support'. Is that a problem?)
fastboot boot twrp.img
Backup system to PC
Extract boot.img from backup using payload_dumper
Patch boot.img using Magisk (I don't have v21 - is that a problem?)
fastboot boot patched_magisk.img > phone reboots with temp root
Direct Install should be available in Magisk, use that to gain permanent root

TWRP not support Android 11 yet
For now use Magisk canary version to patch boot.img

please let me know if after following this method are we able to install Magisk modules and does it work?
Yes.
Did not work at first. I had installed magisk using patched boot method. Installed twrp using given method. Device was booting into twrp after selecting reboot system. Decided to install magisk again. As I already had magisk installed, tried flashing uninstaller.zip and got an error saying stock boot image was found which means that magisk was uninstalled. Flashed magisk 15.2 and it worked. I was able to boot into system with twrp installed.
Moral : Flashing magisk is a necessary step even if you are already rooted with magisk.

Have you selected the partition you've installed your recovery to?
Because if not, boot the TWRP .img again and switch the partitions.
Reboot afterwards.

[GUIDE] How to root Android Pie build (Temporarily Guide)

Since TWRP is unbootable under this build, you have to use patched boot trick to root this phone.
However, only Magisk 17.1 is usable on this build, Magisk 17.2 - 18.0 can't be installed properly.
So I made a custom update channel that fixed to Magisk 17.1 to assist me.
This guide requires unlocked bootloader - still, I won't introduce how to unlock it here, please Google for it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Here's how to root:
1. Extract the D1C-0-6120-00CN-boot.img from my homebrew firmware written in previous guide, or extract the boot.img from the OTA package.
(Later versions will also provide the patched boot image)
2. Copy this boot.img to Download directory.
3. Install latest Magisk Manager from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
Remember to allow all the permission after installed.
4. Choose "Left Hamburger Menu" - "Settings" - "Update Channel" - "Custom", and type following URL:
Code:
https://dwz.cn/5I3anBD4
5. Back to Magisk Manager main interface, refresh it and check if latest version changed to 17.1.
Tap "Install" - "Install" - "Patch Boot Image", "Left Hamburger Menu" - "Download" - the boot img you copied.
And wait for the patching procedure complete.
6. Copy patched_boot.img from the Download directory of internal storage to PC.
7. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and execute following commands:
Code:
.\fastboot reboot-bootloader
.\fastboot boot D:\patched_boot.img
8. Open Magisk Manager, reinstall Magisk 17.1 directly.
9. Reboot your phone and all done.
Is this procedure familiar? Yes, it's the same method used on Nokia 7 Plus. But I wrote this guide to tell you few details that you need to notice.
Hope TWRP can be compiled for D1C-6120.
If you have already unlocked the bootloader then just flash the official TWRP for Nokia 6 and flash the Magisk v17.1 or 17.3 via TWRP normally. And TWRP 3.2.3.0 works well on Android P. I tested it and it works fine.

Please help me i am on oreo version .. and i have flashed twrp recovery on my nokia 6 (TA - 1021) ..
THE Problem is when i reboot to recovery it's not booting in twrp but it's booting on custome recovery ..
I need pc everytime , if i want to boot it on twrp .
I have to run command every time to boot in on twrp recovery ..
Is there any way to directly boot it on twrp recovery not in custom recovery ? Please help me
@hikari_calyx Does fastboot boot work for you on pie? For me, it does not. Almost shat my pants thinking my TWRP doesn't work but it does in fact work, just fastboot booting it does not work.
Finally got the official pie update on my TA-1033. (unlocked bootloader)
The standard versions of TWRP 3.2.3.0 / Magisk 17.3 / Magisk Manager 6.0.1 worked perfectly.
As above, "fastboot boot" doesn't work, but "fastboot flash" etc. does.
Happy days.
Not working for me please can you tell the procedure step by step as i tried your steps but didn't happen anything please

You can use the same procedure as hilarious calyx have said in the post
But the FASTBOOT command should be as
FASTBOOT flash boot patched_boot.img
It will permanently root your android
Magisk 17.1 is working
Or you can also flash official twrp available at twrp website and from there you can directly flash magisk 17.1 zip

Why any module is not installing by magisk it's showing me unable to extract, i followed each and every steps as mentioned above and rooted my Nokia 6 again but it's not installing any module what's the reason behind it?

[Guide][Root Magisk Only][OTA Compatible] Moto G6 Play

* Warranty is void
* I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone in mistaking anything specified here
* This guide requires intermediate knowledge
I'm posting this guide because I haven't found any special thread about it, and had to search multiple threads and websites to get a conclusion in how to root Magisk only (without flashing TWRP or any other custom recovery). Focused in not decrypting the phone, or modify any system partition for a full OTA compatibility.
Requirements:
* ADB/Fastboot & Motorola USB drivers installed - (PC)
* Unlocked bootloader - (Phone)
* Stock rom - (Phone)
* Magisk Manager (latest stable version installed on your phone)
* TWRP (compatible to the Moto G6 Play model) - please refer to this thread for more details. ***(Of course, you won't flash it!)
*** PLEASE! REFER TO THE UPDATES BELOW!!! ***
Tutorial:
1. Reboot to bootloader
2. Boot into downloaded TWRP using Fastboot code:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp_downloaded.img
(on TWRP ignore any password by canceling)
3. Backup stock boot image using:
Code:
adb pull /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/boot stockboot.img
4. Reboot system using ADB code:
Code:
adb reboot system
5. After rebooted, copy backed up stockboot.img to the phone internal memory
6. Install and open Magisk Manager, click [Instal] > [Install] > [Select and Patch a File] and select stockboot.img on internal memory.
7. After boot image patched, copy magisk_patched.img from phone Download folder to PC
8. Reboot to bootloader and flash magisk_patched.img to phone using Fastboot code:
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
9. After done, reboot system using fastboot code:
Code:
fastboot reboot
10. All done! Open Magisk Manager and check root! For future OTA updates already rooted with Magisk, I recommend this post: https:// www. the custom droid .com/install-ota-update-rooted-android-device-guide/ - (remove spaces )
[UPDATE 1]
I've noticed that Moto G6 simply forces reboot system before update the device, if we go to restore images in Magisk to try it out tutorial post from 10., it'll simply be removed after that.
Even doing so and going ahead to update the device losing Magisk, and still have to back up once more the new updated boot image and patch it on Magisk following my guide above, I got a bootloop patching the newest OTA with Magisk 20.0 (latest).
After almost losing indefinitely root access, I got it done, downgrading Magisk to 19.3.
For doing so, download Magisk 19.3 zip file from GitHub repository and copy it to the SD Card, boot up into TWRP using fastboot (without flashing) then proceed as read-only, after that, install Magisk 19.3 zip file to patch the OTA updated boot image, then it's done. Root it's working properly without updating Magisk.
I don't know exactly why the latest Magisk it is breaking the OTA updated boot image... Whatever, it's a good approach to get root access back after the recent OTA!
I still need to check if this workaround will be working on new OTA's. That's it.
[UPDATE 2]
After recent update - January 2020, my rooting workaround supporting OTA is working properly as followed solution on UPDATE 1, above.
I didn't test using latest Magisk 20.3 apk due the bootloop when patching boot image in Magisk 20. Don't know if that bug has been fixed...
Updating Magisk after successfully rooted using solution above will not result in a bootloop, but I do recommend downgrade Magisk when new OTA is released.
Hello, thank you for this guide. I'm having trouble with the last step, as I also am having a bootloop with the boot image patched with the latest Magisk. Would you care to elaborate on how do I install Magisk 19.3? Since I boot TWRP, but cant find the Downloads folder from the phone, where I put the Magisk-v19.3.zip file. Cheers!

First, if you have the actual boot backup, you'll need to flash it to fix bootloop.
Remember to boot into TWRP (without flashing) to flash it.
* Follow the samples above for the codes if necessary.
After fixing bootloop all you'll need to do is download the Magisk-v19.3.zip from “Magisk GitHub releases” and place it on the external sd card.
Then boot into TWRP (always without flashing) and flash the zip file using TWRP. (Remember to flash to boot image).
It'll simply patch your boot, after that, reboot, if successfully booted go check Magisk.

I can't use magisk after the last update?

I'm flashing magiskpatched from fastboot mode but the phone keeps rebooting..
I tried four times
didn't happen
tutorials say to boot magisk patched ... not to flash it
in most condition you are using a wrong patched boot.img
first use payload extracter to extract origin boot.img file from official OTA package
Then use "fastboot flash boot boot.img" to recover your phone.
Then transfer this boot.img to phone storage and use magisk manager to "install (patch a boot.img)"
Transfer the "magisk_patched.img" back to PC then use "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img" to temporily boot with root.
Finally use Magisk Manger to install again then reboot.

in most condition you are using a wrong patched boot.img
first use payload extracter to extract origin boot.img file from official OTA package
Then use "fastboot flash boot boot.img" to recover your phone.
Then transfer this boot.img to phone storage and use magisk manager to "install (patch a boot.img)"
Transfer the "magisk_patched.img" back to PC then use "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img" to temporily boot with root.
Finally use Magisk Manger to install again then reboot.

most time it is not recommanded to directly flash patched boot.img file into phone.
The recommanded method is use Magisk Manager to install it before the phone reboot to new version.

No root Magisk 25.2 patch recovery in TWRP for Galaxy

Hi,
I finally got Palladium GSI installed (Android 11)! I rooted my Pixel in the past with Magisk 25.2. Now on my Samsung Galaxy A50 that I installed Palladium, I cannot get root. Here are the steps I did.
RAMDISK=NO in Magisk.
(1) Download Magisk 25.2
(2) extract recovery.img from TWRP 3.6 (that I installed originally)
(3) Open Magisk->Install with recovery mode checked ->NEXT -> select and patch a file -> pick recovery.img -> "let's go"
(4) copy the Magisk patched image to my SD Card
(5) boot into TWRP
(6) Install->Image-> pick the Magisk patched (recovery) image -> select 'recovery' partition -> 'swipe to confirm flash'
(7) reboot to recovery once flashed
(8) open Magisk app, no root
what did I do wrong?
I also tried installing Magisk in TWRP by renaming the extension to 'zip' and flashing, rebooting into recovery... I saw that as another method - didn't work either
I'm soo close trying the two methods above I saw in other XDA forum posts. Did I miss a critical step?

^ do I need to do the vbmeta steps too? Unsure how I would do that in TWRP though...
vbmeta is afaik patched from maigisk, but you can download vbmeta.img.empty pack it into tar archive and flash from Odin3 as it might still required for twrp in case magisk doesn't work.
