Could anyone please point out a way to root my phone(in title), as of this day. There are many methods. So I am confused. I recently read about magisk manager, used to root. Does it work? I just wanted to know the latest method, easier one of any. Also can TWRP manager be used to flash recovery in phone or should it be done flashing TWRP. Img, file.
Please forgive me if i posted in wrong section.
Thanks in advance.

Use PC via ADB (fastboot)to flash TWRP. Flash Magisk in recovery, then dl Magisk manager from play store.
Magisk works very well.
This all is assuming your boot loader is unlocked.
Good luck.

So instead of supersu, we use magisk?
And I read somewhere also that using magisk we can still get updates to our phones. Is that right?
Also there is a TWRP manager in play Store can we use it to flash TWRP instead of ADB?
Thanks for the steps though.

My experience with TWRP manager has been it breaks my recovery. No idea why so I flashed via PC. Not sure you can still receive updates when your boot loader has been unlocked. Depends on a lot of factors. Someoneelse will have to answer that question.

OK thanks.
An unlocked bootloader doesn't prevent you from receiving updates from Motorola. But I think rooting the ROM will prevent installation of further updates.
I don't think Motorola is going to push any further updates. So just do anything you want with your phone (personal opinion).

I've never received a update notice.
I would have to agree... There is little chance of getting another update, and if we did it would just be a simple security update and not important.
And no, even with Magisk you cannot apply an OTA update, it will fail.
Unlock your bootloader, flash the twrp recovery using adb fastboot...then wipe the stock rom, flash custom rom along with SuperSU....enjoy! (Processes are same but you should use the latest versions of all these...)

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.
Check this link for more information:

yeah now i got twrp but only come when boot from fastboot commands and i want magisk how can i get it?
did i have to first flash supersu zip from twrp then install magsik? but i want only magisk not supersu

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?
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

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.

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
Hi, Im new in this forum, just got my OP 7 Pro. I've been away from anything root related for a long time, since my previous devices couldnt be rooted.
I remember using magisk when it was a new thing, and everyone was using greenify to extend battery life.
I just updated to Android 10 Beta, can I root my device?
If it is possible, what do I lose if I root besides widevine?
The only thing I'm really looking forward is gcam port and the use of aux cams, since a lot of things have to be updated to Android 10, I don't think there's a lot to do right now besides that.
I think you have to come back to the android p stable, root, install the twrp and after you will able to update with the root. Now im on the beta with root and twrp throw a dirty installing

Hi! Thanks. If you don't mind, can you give point me to a guide or something to downgrade? I'm a total noob with everything OnePlus related.
You don't have to downgrade to Pie.
Do it like this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-android-10-twrp-t3964131
You just need stock boot.img:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...isk-patched-boot-image-oneplus-7-pro-t3964345
There's also another way which avoids to downgrade.
Flash the magisk patched img you'll find in this forum.
After following instructions from there, you'll be rooted but without TWRP.
If you need that also... flash the TWRP installer zip as a magisk module, reinstall magisk (direct install), reboot and you're done.

Wow, thanks!! that seems stupidly easy, even for me. Two questions:
Do I need a PC to do the extraction?
Will this wipe any data?
And as for my initial question, is there anything besides widevine lost when rooting?

You can download Magisk patched boot.img from second link above.
Flashing boot.img will not wipe any data.
If I remember right, Widevine will get L3 with unlocked bootloader.

Yes bootloader must be unlocked to flash TWRP or Root the device also when you unlock the bootloader it will factory reset the device so make sure you backup any personal data you need before unlocking.
Thank you
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

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.
