If you are running stable 10.0.1 you can local upgrade to OB3 withoutno problem
But if you running open beta already you need to be in OB2 Q before updating to OB3 Q.
Here's the step by step guide:
Note: disable magisk modules and substratum first if ever you have. DON'T FORGET!!
1. Download OP6 OB3 firmware: https://otafsg1.h2os.com/patch/amaz...22_OTA_062_all_1912110952_cacdd5fe0385b33.zip
1-2. Download patched boot image: https://mega.nz/#!zBlXSQzC!RAQgiPqJXydFIXa-6sqntQiUOK34-QYdtot4wEu-mEQ
(Copy this to your PC you need this later)
1-3. Download Magisk Manager APK (if you don't have this installed yet.)
2. Update using local upgrade
3. Reboot
4. Allow it to boot up and wait few minutes to let finish the update completely.
5. Reboot to bootloader - fastboot
6. Type
fastboot flash boot_a "bootname".img
fastboot flash boot_b "bootname".img
(Without " ")
7. Type: fastboot reboot
- Install Magisk Manager APK, (if you don't have it)
8. Re enable your modules and everything then reboot one last time
9. Lastly, sit down and relax

Edited: I actually didn't have to restore images. I just needed to reinstall magisk in magisk before I rebooted and it worked.

You can repeat clean install by updating again via local upgrade. Then do it again.
After updating my sim cards aren't detected. Also twrp is gone and I can't clear cache. Any advice?

Hey
I'm very confused on how to apply OTAs on a rooted device.
Can anyone write a nicely detailed guide on how to perform this kind of update? The guide linked in the Magisk repo does not seem to be working.
My problem is that the system detects the OEM unlock and it wants me to perform a full update anyway.
Last question: what if I download and install the full OTA: will it wipe my system and relock the bootloader?
(1) Download and install the OTA (will be a full 2.x GB download as it detects unlocked bootloader)
(2) Do not reboot after update
(3) Go to Magisk Manager > Install > Install > Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)
(4) Reboot
the bootloader will remain unlocked and root will be preserved..
My procedure:
I use Oxygen updater.
- choose full updates in Oxygen updater
- download update, don't install
- disable all running modules in magisk manager, reboot
- go to settings/update, install local upgrade
- don't reboot after installation
- go to magisk manager and install normally, do this again but to inactive slot (maybe only the last part is necessary)
- reboot
- install your magisk modules again
Thank you guys <3
I've seen several posts that upgrading to Android 11 is causing serious issues with twrp and root. I have an update dated 01/21 that is ready to install and I'd like to know if I can install it and still keep twrp and root. I'm on stock model gm1925 build 10.0.9.gm27ba and as stated, keeping root is important for me.

You are on stable channel surely the notified upgrade is to version 10.0.11, so you can update and keep root and twrp working.
To do this follow the steps described by @strongst in the op7 forum and you will have no problems.
Here the steps to follow:
Optional but highly recommended, backup everything in case of issues.
Download the full rom zip file and the twrp zip installer file and place it into the phone storage memory.
Go to Magisk Manager and uninstall all modules.
Reboot phone.
Go to Android settings -> system -> system update and hit gear icon top right -> local upgrade, select the .zip file of the new firmware and wait for the installation to finish. Attention don't reboot yet!
Install TWRP within Magisk Manager App like a Module: Magisk Manager App -> Menu -> Modules "+" select .zip file of the twrp recovery installer. Attention don't reboot yet!
Install Magisk via Magisk Manager App again: Magisk Manager App -> hit install after your Magisk version -> hit again install -> hit "install to inactive slot".
Finally reboot.
Reinstall your Magisk Modules.
Done! Your device is now updated and you keep TWRP and root.
Very important: At the moment this procedure is to be considered reliable only if used with firmware based on Android 10.

I've been using below steps to update my OP6 while preserving root. Thought of sharing with you all
I've been using this method for all recent updates like 9.0.9 ->10.3.0->10.3.5->10.3.6->10.3.7->10.3.8->10.3.9->10.3.11->11.1.1.1
My OP6 info:
TWRP: 3.2.3-x | blu_spark v9.91
Magisk: 23.0
Steps:
enable system update app if it's disabled
nandroid backup (optional)
enable any disabled system apps like youtube
- download OTA updated zip: via Oxygen Updater App -> Full Update option
- Install it: System Settings -> Local Upgrade option (don't reboot).
- Once installed: go to Magisk -> run TWRP retention script from osm0sis (don't reboot).
- Again in Magisk, install magisk -> install to inactive slot (don't reboot yet).
- Then on modules list, disable all modules and then finally...
- Reboot, this reboot will take some minutes...
- after reboot, re enable all modules and everything will work perfectly.
The System Updater and Magisk do all the work, never ever once having to boot into recovery.

With rooted version 10.3.x I updated this way without any problems:
How to Update Your OnePlus 6 or 6T Without Losing Root — No Computer Needed
One of the biggest downsides to rooting is that it can be a pain to update every month with each new security patch. With other phones, you might have had to fully unroot the device, maybe flash a stock recovery, or potentially even flash all the factory images to get a new update. Thankfully...
oneplus.gadgethacks.com
* Download full stock rom (same as from OxygenUpdater), latest TWRP (now 3.5) and lastest Magisk (now 23.0) onto sdcard of device.
* Reboot into TWRP recovery
* Flash stock ROM and then TWRP without intermediate reboot
* Reboot into TWRP recovery again
* Flash Magisk
* Reboot normally.
I left all disabled system apps such as e.g. Youtube app, disabled. I did the update manually without using Oxygenupdater, the latter only for verifying the MD5 of the ROM.
Can this also be done with flashing 11.1.1 ROM ?

Sorry, please explain "modules list". In what context is this please?
Quick note. Do not re-enable Smali Patcher if that was one of your previously enabled modules. The framework used to create the patch was from the previous android OS version, so it'll just spin when booting. To fix it follow the official recommendation from the smali patcher FAQ which is Boot into TWRP > Advanced > File Manager > navigate to data > adb > modules > select the module directory (in this case "fomey.smalipatcher" > folder icon in the bottom right > delete.

Which TWRP version and Magisk version did you use?
A very big thanks to you bro!
Before Updation:
--------------------
My OP6 info:
v 9.0.9
TWRP: 3.2.3-x | blu_spark v9.91
Magisk: 23.0
After Updation:
------------------
Now My OP6 info:
v11.1.1.1
TWRP: 3.2.3-x | blu_spark v9.91 (But its not accepting the password, so not decrypting)
Magisk: 23.0
Any suggestions regarding TWRP to work.
I have been using the same method for updating open betas. Now there is official november update.. Is it possible to update to official rom from open beta using this method without losing data and root?

Usually the latest (3.5 resp. 23).
So now I want to use the same way, by re-flashing TWRP (probably a newer version) after the new stock ROM, but before reboot.

After the whole process is completed what to do with TWRP retention script module
should we uninstall it
Does the method in the OP work for updating from 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.2.2? Or is it only for updating from earlier versions of Oxygen to 11.x?

@JerryGoyal .
Hi, I am on OP6 on OOS version 10.3.5 with Magisk root version 21.4 and twrp recovery. Also XXX nolimts Rom installed. I have no issues with the current version of OOS, and have disabled the update with 'Xxx nolimits' rom. I am unable to use banking apps since the Magisk hide apparently doesn't work for them. Only 'phonepe' works till now, but it's only a matter of time when they behave like 'yono sbi' app too. I have heard that this is because of the safetynet check failure. I have tried installing the module 'universal safetynet fix' but it didn't work. I have an unlocked bootloader as well, I don't know if that is relevant. Please help.
Hey everyone! Finally got the update for C.11 on my phone, but looking around it looks like the way to keep root from OOS 11 to OOS 12 has changed a bit, compared to the standard updates and keeping root. So right now, I'm on 11.0.12.12.KB05AA and have the update KB2005_11.C.16 and if I want to keep root I need to do the following:
B.2.1 Local InstallThis is using:
OOS 11: System Update>Gear icon (local install)
OOS 12: MyApplication2 app (source: https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/English_20220225101104.apk; see https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oxygenos-12-for-the-oneplus-8t.1555060/)
If you have TWRP installed then reboot recovery, restore the stock OOS recovery (you would/should have taken a copy of it when you installed TWRP as mentioned in A.2.1), and reboot system. Without doing this, an incremental OTA will fail when it checks for the stock recovery.
Move the update zip to /sdcard (NOT a subdirectory of /sdcard)
Magisk>Uninstall Magisk>Restore images - this restores the stock boot image whilst keeping Magisk
Install the update using the appropriate local installer for your version of OOS and DO NOT reboot
Restore root to the current slot using Magisk>Magisk Install>"Direct Install (Recommended)". This is so you keep root in case the update somehow fails and you're returned to the current system.
Root the updated boot image using Magisk>Magisk Install>"Install to inactive slot" and reboot
To re-install TWRP, follow the process in A.2.1
Is that all I have to do to keep root when going from OOS 11 to OOS 12? I've seen other methods where people need to use payload dumper to extract the boot img and patch it, then flash it. I can do that, it's just a pain in the neck is all.
