I need help with root after update - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

I've used my phone for days without issues, with unlocked bootloader, TWRP and magisk root.
I've also made all OTAs and maintained also root following these steps successfully:
Make sure to disable Automatic system updates (Settings -> Developer options) if this is your first time doing something like this.
Magisk Manager -> Uninstall -> Restore Images
This will restore the boot to stock
Do not reboot yet or you'll uninstall Magisk and won't have a good time
Apply OTA (Settings -> System -> System Update)
Seriously, do not restart
Magisk Manager -> Install -> Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)
After the installation is done, press the reboot button in Magisk Manager
But with latest update, after reboot, I've loose the phone capabilities since the phone app crashed everytime and also SIM was not detected. So after many tries to remove and reinsert the SIM, with no success, I've disinstalled magisk and rebooted the phone. After reboot the SIM worked again with phone functions.
But now can I Re-Install magisk?
I've tried booting TWRP.img but after I put my password the phone doesn't recognize it and doesn't decrypt data so if I want to pass a file like TWRP.img to flash it definitely or magisk root is not possible since I can't mount usb data or transfer files with adb sideload

May I ask what version you are on OOS?

[GUIDE] Root Android Pie With Magisk

Frist You Must Unlock BootLoader
Second You Must Have Pc With Android platform tools (They Exist Also For MacOS And Linux)
BOOTLOADER UNLOCK
First thing to do: unlock the bootloader (if you didn't already do this, obviously). Smartphones with Android One are much easier to unlock compared to other Xiaomi phones with MIUI (where you have to ask for authorization and wait for weeks).
CAUTION: when you unlock the bootloader, the phone will reset, erasing all your saved data. Backup your data before unlocking.
1. Go to Settings > System > About phone > and tap many times on "Build number" until you unlock "Developer options".
2. Go back to the previous page, where you can find now "Developer options". Go there and enable the "OEM unlocking" option (and it's better to never disable this).
3. Now you can shutdown your phone, then turn it on while holding the "Volume down" button pressed. Release it when you see the Fastboot screen.
4. Now connect the phone with your PC via USB cable, open an administrative command prompt, move to the directory where the Android platform tools are placed and unlock the bootloader with the following command:
Code:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
The phone will reboot, erasing all the data.
Now you unlocked your phone's bootloader and can continue to the next section
Download This https://mega.nz/#!3aZ3AICJ!YAHEVP5dQ2bgnV0_oDd3O4MBzdVt1qT_9HfqGWvVzCE
open an administrative command prompt, move to the Android platform tools directory and then write the following command:
Code:
Fastboot boot boot_rooted.img
If everything works the phone should boot normally. Open Magisk Manager and it should ask to install Magisk, if not you must tap on the "Install" button. Then choose "Install" > "Direct Install (Recommended)" to install Magisk on the phone, and reboot when finished.
HOW TO APPLY OTA UPDATES
IMPORTANT: OTA updates will work only if all the partitions on the smartphone are untouched. Magisk Manager can restore the original boot.img following this section of the guide, but if you tampered directly with the system partition (e.g. manually editing build.prop) or other partitions, OTA will refuse to install.
You can try to fix OTA updates without the need to flash the whole original fastboot ROM, by flashing only the tampered partitions (usually only "system") with the corresponding img file found inside the fastboot ROM zip. Check the "Troubleshooting" section of this guide for details.
12. When you know that a new OTA update is available and you want to install it, open Magisk Manager, and tap on "Uninstall" > "Restore Images" but very important: absolutely don't reboot the phone now!
Important note: Magisk Manager will restore the boot.img that was found on the phone while installing Magisk. If the boot.img was already non-vanilla (for example you flashed the boot.img with TWRP before installing Magisk), Magisk Manager will backup that modified version of boot.img, and when restored the OTA will not work, as that's not a vanilla boot.img.
13. Close Magisk Manager and go to "Settings" > "System" > "System update" and install the OTA update. After the update is downloaded, a two-stages update will begin.
14. When both stages of the update process completed, it will ask to restart: DON'T DO IT!. Open Magisk Manager again and tap on "Install" > "Install" > "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)" and after that you can tap on "Reboot".
After the reboot you will have the updated Android version with Magisk already working.

Instead of doing a full quote, you should have read it.
Also if you are only 12, you didn't take "some things" from bubuxp's thread, but almost the whole story. I would prefer if mod could close this thread.

Starting to think there is no mod in this forum... At least for this device:silly:
Any one try this
Why do we need a separated Pie root guide, when the only difference for Pie is a newer patched boot image which you can make yourself with Magisk and the fitting OTA/Fastboot files?
We really need a mod for our A2 Lite forum, there are too many "useless" posts and threads inside. Feels like MIUI forum and not XDA.

You need install manually magisk manager ,you can download apk from official website, after from magisk manager you can install magisk 18.0 ...this is my experience
thanks man, following your guide I was able to root this bad boy. Much more complicated than anything I've ever rooted as I've usually got TWRP installed but for whatever reason it's unable to decrypt my system and even after a fresh wipe I still can't install so this method worked great for me, we'll see how OTA updates go...
EDIT: Seems to be after a reboot I am no longer rooted, do I need to fastboot flash that patched boot image everytime I reboot?
@discomilk
Boot from patched boot.img
Open Magisk Manager -> install -> install direct
Reboot and profit!
Yup, seems I forgot to install Magisk after that patched boot. Everything working now.

lineages OS and twrp bootloop possible cause

Investigating right now why fresh twrp 3.2.1.0 and sideloaded lineageos 16 with addonsu, arm64 for oneplus2 does reboot fine but once you go into twrp and change time and language you and up with bootloop.
After installing twrp and setting timezone and language to your timezone and English (might be set), lineageOS 16 ROM sideload install does reset it to central time and no language selected setting.
Checked settings after first reboot, left at central and ended up in bootloop.
After successful install as in lineageOS howto (every step) and enabling developer option without touching any of the dev options, i shut down and manually booted to recovery vol down+power.
Didn't touch anything just clicked to reboot system and ended up in bootloop.
Another run from scratch.
Note1: Not using any lock mechanism during tests, no pattern etc., BT disabled, wifi setup done
Note2: I see no errors during sideload but i wonder if OEM unlock might be the problem which i executed every time.
Note3: It seems that visiting twrp recovery after successful install and various successful restarts from lineageOS (without visiting recovery) cause this bootloop and if yes, why?
Note4: I was able to boot lineageOS when disabling the offered prompt to install twrp app and the option to install it as system app, might this cause the bootloop without having gaps installed?
Now that i am not experiencing bootloop i enabled Developer Options and didn't touch anything in there. Shut down and Booted up succesfull afterwards.
Powered Off and manually entered twrp recovery. Rebooted successful out of twrp.
Enabled Advanced Restart in Dev Options and went with Restart and Recovery.
In twrp > Reboot > System successful booted.
Enable Root Access for Apps only and reboot into Recovery, from there reboot System successfully.
Just to make sure, shut down and Power up again, successfully.
Default USB configuration set to File Transfer and copy over contacts.vcf, turn off File transfer, import vcf, followed by a restart into recovery.
Again in twrp > Reboot > System > successful booted.
Time for, adb backup --twrp
Back in LineageOS install/update F-Droid.
Again in twrp > Reboot > System > successful booted.
Install adaway give root access and accept to reboot without going into twrp, successfuly.
Update hosts file in adaway and accept to reboot without going into twrp, successfuly.
Quick check, reboot through recovery went successful.
Taking a break from testing. Not sure what the bootloop cause is for now, except the twrp app install system offer?

Attempted the update last night, when flashing Magisk Canary Patched boot.img, the touchscreen is non-responsive on boot.
Flashing the stock boot.img and the touchscreen works.
Tried flashing the full image (no -w) and OTA with same result both times. Tried switching between active slots as well, no dice.
Any ideas?

Sorry I missed all this. I just got back in front of a computer and got no emails of the @ mention. Is everything working now? My two thoughts for what it's worth would have been to sideload the OTA twice so that it hit both slots and to be sure to update the Magisk path to canary after installing the .apk and then to be sure to update magisk after changing the path.

Nope, I was on stock. I realized that I wasn't using any rooted apps anymore, so the need to have my bootloader unlocked was null and void. I re-locked my bootloader and now google pay works like a charm.
I'll add my observation here:
OTA update via magisk OTA update method works, but for some reason I kept having frozen screen after a few minutes usage. Rebooted at least 4-5 times and it worked.
I was using Taichi and its Magisk module doesn't work. Reflashing the module causes bootloop.
So I flashed again factory image without "-w", booted fine. But installing root via magisk_patched.img from R boot.img causes bootloop.
Don't understand why.
EDIT: Is there a way to clean up magisk modules now that I am on stuck on bootloader whenever I flash magisk_patched.img?

Tulsadiver's [Guide] Magisk Modules Disabler for Modules gone wrong by tulsadiver would fix it. I don't know if he has had the time to update it for Android 11 (R).
Maybe Support Safe Mode detection would help.
Do you have to use Magisk canary with Android 11? I just updated to 11, lost root, and want to add it back.
Thanks,
Rick

Yes!
I upgraded from like June 2020 build to 11 via OTA, do I just have to sideload patched boot.img as I always have been for previous monthly Android 10 updates? The only difference is using the canary version of Magisk (i'm on stable channel at the moment)

I lost root when I upgraded to Android 11 Beta and I forgot to uninstall Magisk beforehand. I left it that way with the Magisk Manager app still installed because I didn't want to do a full wipe. I didn't have any SafetyNet problem until I took the latest rp1a.200720.009 OTA and got a warning message on the first boot. I decided to try installing the latest Canary Magisk again by sideloading the patched boot.img and now I have root again and can pass the SafetyNet check.

How To Guide [Unofficial] Unlocking the bootloader, rooting, and installing TWRP on Nokia 2.2 with Android 11

to moderators: this is my first thread ever, and thought a complete guide like this really has to be done. if it's not right or not in the right place, do what is right
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since there are only 3 useful guides about modifying this specific phone, and some really don't answer a few barriers placed in our way by HMD Global and its ridiculous OEM unlocking restrictions (-_-), and also Google probably dropped making OTA updates for it (which was very important to me, because Android 9 and 10 had bugs), I decided to mix them all up (I will give credits, obv) and add some more info I found and create a thread which will work on Android 11, which worked on my phone, not tested on another Nokia 2.2.
Hope it helps y'all!!
Part 0: Preparations
WARNING: Your storage will be wiped completely!! so make sure to back everything you need up before doing anything. Unless you have bricked/soft locked your phone, then in that case you can use MTK Client app to backup userdata.bin (more info on Part 1-2, marked with a )
Requirements:
A good computer
Obviously a network connection on your computer for downloading files, and on your phone if you wanna update thru OTA
USB cable, capable of transferring data, and without any annoying repeated disconnections or "has to be put in the right angle and position". Just use a fresh one
VCOM and adb drivers, which can be a little annoying getting them to work. Best option is to install 15 seconds minimal ADB and make sure you say Yes when it asks if you want to install device drivers.
Android SDK Platform tools, which can be downloaded from here (NOTE: You have to use Platform tools. minimal adb will NOT work with fastboot on this device. So go to C:\adb and delete everything in there, then extract platform tools in that folder instead)
and the most important of them all: MTK Client by Bkerler which can be downloaded from here. Follow the installation instructions in the link, install Git and Python and also usbdk installer featured in the Github instructions for MTK Client
All done? Great! moving to the next part
Part 1: Unlocking the bootloader
The most annoying part. Thanks to hikari_calyx for their awesome guide on how to unlock the bootloader for this phone. We will follow it step by step until we reach step 6, where we are about to flash all those backed up img's back using mtk-su. Here's the problem, you can use mtk-su only on Android 9. it doesn't work on Android 11 sadly. so we just make sure we have unlocked sec1.img and seccfg.img in a safe place, then install a fresh stock Android 9 rom om our phone with any method we are most comfortable with, like SP Flash tool like in the guide, or booting into recovery and sideloading thru adb or from sdcard. just search the net and I'm sure you will find a loooot of sites explaining how you can flash a stock android on your phone. Just make sure you won't mess IMEI and Serial Number up!!!
**There is a "unlock bootloader" option in the flash tools tab of MTK Client. haven't tried it out myself but you can give it a try**
Extra: Booting into stock recovery
There is another detailed guide on how to enter recovery mode, by foobar1123321 which you can see in here. You might need it to apply updates to your phone
After flashing and updating your OS to latest version of Android 11, it's time for Unlocking the bootloader again. but sadly, Unlocked OEM doesn't let OTA updates to be received, and trying to flash sec1.img and seccfg.img on Android 11 is not possible without root, and root is not possible without OEM unlocking :\
So here comes the neat part, MTK Client
Part 1-2: Unlocking the bootloader again
Go to the folder where you installed MTK Client (hopefully you know how git works and got it cloned and working, if no, then read Installation instructions carefully in their Github page), and open a CMD window there by typing in cmd in the address bar. then write python mtk_gui and hit enter. Do not use mtk_gui.bat since it will close the cmd and not work. Do NOT close this cmd tab. After a while, the app will start and asks you to connect your phone.
Shut down the phone, and after 5 seconds, press and hold both volume up and down keys (without the power button) and connect the phone to your computer via cable while still holding the volume buttons. If you have installed the drivers successfully, then you'll see some texts generate in the cmd window, and will (probably) wait for the Preloader VCOM.
you can let go of the volume keys.... but not for so long. Disconnect the USB cable, hold volume keys, and connect the phone again and you'll see that MTK Client successfully gets access to your phon. YAAAY!!
now you can let go of the volume keys
Go to "Read partitions" tab, and select Boot_a, Boot_b, sec1, and seccfg (make sure you wouldn't mistake them with unlocked sec1 and seccfg)
And then click on Read partitions button in the right side, and choose a location to save these partitions
You can also check userdata, if you have bricked/soft locked your phone and wanna backup your Internal storage data. You can flash it again with this app after you have fixed your phone. and if the problem wasn't caused by your data, you can use them again like you never wiped your phone
After everything is backed up, go to "Write partitions" tab, and find sec1 and seccfg, click on "set", browse and select the respective unlocked partitions we got in Part 1 (you may need to change their extension from .img to .bin for them to show up)
Click on "Write partitions", and done! You have unlocked your OEM on Android 11!! and if everything is done correctly, you'll see
Orange state Your device is unlocked and cannot be trusted Your device will boot in 5 seconds...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or something like this when powering it on, congrats!!
Part 2: Installing TWRP
from the official TRWP page for Nokia 2.2, download the latest TWRP image file and move it to c:\adb on your computer and rename it to twrp.img
you will also need to download a stock vbmeta image, which can be found here or simply by reading it from your phone via MTK Client (there will be two A/B partitions, any of them works) and rename the downloaded/grabbed file into vbmeta.img and move it to c:\adb
power off your phone, then boot into fastboot by holding Volume down + Power for a few seconds, until it says FASTBOOT MODE => then connect the phone to a PC, and write:
fastboot –disable-verity –disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now we have the latest TWRP on our Nokia 2.2 , but seems like accessing TWRP is only possible by either rebooting to recovery when the phone is powered on, via Magisk, Termux, or any other app with power options (after rooting the phone), or writing this when the phone is in fastboot mode:
fastboot reboot recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can use TWRP and all of its awesome features now, except for MTP, backup, reading userdata partition, etc. to fix that, you gotta wipe internal storage, so make a backup of your files before processing.
**IMPORTANT: Do not flash TWRP after rooting the phone or it will unroot it**
Part 3: Rooting via Magisk
I'm gonna use Magisk because... it's better than other SU apps. Get it from here and install it on your phone. Now that you have your OEM unlocked and boot partitions too, you just have to copy the partitions we got via MTK Client on your device, launch Magisk app, select Install Magisk, then choose a file, which is gonna be Boot_a.
Wait until patching is finished, and after it's done, go into downloads folder and rename it to Boot_a or you will get confused later
After that you can choose Boot_b to be patched, and after it's done, rename it to Boot_b too
Copy them both to C:\adb from your phone to your pc, and power off your phone
after you get sure device is not connected to the computer via cable, and is powered off, hold down the volume down key with power button, until your phone boots into fastboot mode
Now open a cmd in C:\adb, and write
fastboot flash boot_a boot_a.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot_b.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
when done, disconnect your device, and restart. You can check the Magisk app, and realize you now have superuser permissions!!!
**UPDATE** Part 3-2: Hiding Magisk
Hiding Magisk and bypassing SafetyNet is another challenging problem on this phone. Cause when you try to Hide the Magisk app, you'll come to a simple "Failed!" error which is most probably caused by SELinux status. To fix this we gotta install some modules
First of all, install Busybox from Google Play or any other source. It's not necessary, but it's good to have. simply just install it, no need to restart
Then we need to install a module called SELinux permissive (wow, how unique ;w; ) by evdenis, which can be found here. download the zip in your phone, open the Magisk app, and in the modules tab browse for our newly downloaded zip and wait until the operation is done. Reboot your phone, and you are now able to hide Magisk app without any problem.
So do so, open Magisk -> settings -> hide the Magisk app. Choose a name (settings by default) and wait until app launches itself, asking you to add a shortcut to your home screen (optional). This way, your Magisk app now has a random package name and signature and can't be detected by other apps. Now moving to the next part
Bypassing the SafetyNet:
First, in Magisk settings, enable Systemless hosts. it will add its module to the modules tab. check if it's enabled
Then toggle Zygisk in Magisk settings, and restart your phone again (2 restarts? alright no problem)
Once your phone booted up, on the main screen of Magisk, check if it says Yes in front of Zygisk. if yes, than congrats! we are not down yet tho
Go to Magisk settings and toggle Enforce DenyList, don't reboot for now (yes, there is a 3rd one coming ), but go to Configure DenyList and choose the following apps
Google Play Service
Google Play Store
Google Service Framework
Google Play Protect Service (which is probably not present, but wrote it just in case it is on your phone)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and also you can choose your banking apps, or any app that prevents you from using them like Netflix or some games. Now you gotta restart (third time is the charm )
Now we gotta install another module which is Universal SafetyNet fix by kdrag0n which can be found here. Download it to your phone, choose it in Magisk module browser, wait for it to finish, and restart (I'm losing my control!!! Hmph!)
Now that we did all this, we have to clear data of apps in our DenyList so they would never remember if we ever had root or no
Go to settings (the actual settings, not our now hidden Magisk app) -> Apps -> all apps -> tap the 3 dots on top -> show system apps, then find all the apps you added to your DenyList and clear their data (not cache, data itself)
Now that this is down, restart your phone ((╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻) it's the last time, so you can stop raging now (┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ))
Now we can install an app like YASNAC and run SafetyNet attestation, if the results showed two pass checks, Congratulations, you bypassed SafetyNet!!!
Totally worth the restarts. (Thanks to Droidwin for their article)
And that's it!! Hope you enjoy your now rooted Nokia 2.2 phone with Android 11
Great guide, and yes mtkclients unlock will work but it may put Ur device into verity eio mode
¿Can I use the Part 3-2 to hide Magisk in Android 9 instead of 11?, I find stock Android 11 very laggy and unstable on my phone (using the camera on any app can take from 1 to 3 or 4 tries to get it working, for example), and Android 9 has served me waaaaay better. However, my banking app refuses to work with root.

ViperFX issue (android 10) (Also other Equalizer)

Hey Guys,
Actually have issues to install Viper FX on Android 10 (Miui12).
I can install it from Magisk without issues.
But when I open V4a app afterwards and go to driver installation, it opens Magisk, but no prompt for Root rights will pop up.
So finally fail to install.
Tried using AML with and without reboot, but no improvement.
I actually only switched, while I normally use "Precise Volume". I've got that one running, by deinstalling the original "system/priv-app/musicfx/musicfx.apk" app by Xiaomi, but lately got some errors, that it didn't run properly after restarts of the device.
Can someone here guide me, to get one of the mods running properly again?
I think I tried earlier, to make Precise a system apk, but got into boot loop.
Would this be solvable, with flashing new vbmeta?
got viper finally running,
for A10 users:
install aml -> no reboot install viper & driver -> wait for auto reboot -> open viper switch to legacy mode -> delete aml -> reboot -> reinstall viper once more -> done and working
