I've been away for about a year so I'm behind on everything right now. I just flashed a factory image to get back to Android 8.1 and set my phone up from scratch. I would like to install TWRP and Magisk but have some questions..
TWRP. Do I just find the latest TWRP for this phone and the process is the same as before? Fastboot flash twrp img and then install TWRP zip?
Magisk: I have never used it before so I'm not to familiar at all. From what I can tell I just download the zip and install via twrp? Is there a specific version I should be looking for for the Pixel on 8.1 or will the latest from the Magisk forum work?
I've searched around and keep seeing random issues so I'm wondering if it's as straight forward as mentioned above. I see posts about people trying to install TWRP and Magisk and bootlooping and stuff like that. Thanks!!
Hello look here for the latest Recovery. https://twrp.me/google/googlepixel.html
Flash the TWRP image over the PC.
fastboot boot recovery TWRP.img
Then Flash it via TWRP. (the zip file on your sdcard).
The device has an A and B Partition. It would Flash on both.
If you Flash an custom Rom you Flash it on A Partition you must Flash TWRP.zip again. Reboot the device. After an reboot to Recovery you on B Partition automatically. Here you can Flash Magisk and other zips like custom Kernel or other.
If you Flash the custom Rom on B Partition you must flash magisk and other stuff on A Partition.
With Magisk 18.0 stable, some people have bootloops when flashing TWRP.
Best thing to do is just boot TWRP img when needed instead of flash the zip, maybe this has been fixed with latest canary builds but it's better boot the image just to be sure
Ive tried uninstalling magisk using the un-installer and no go. Ive tried booting into twrp then flashing the twrp zip then rebooting into recovery and it goes to the stock recovery. How do i get back TWRP?? Im on Pie and was using twrp .65
NVM: I had to re-flash 9.5.11 then twrp then reboot then magisk 19.4
I am in your same situation oneplus7.
Currently I was with twrp 3.3.1.1 but there is no way to catch any recovery. By flashing the image either version 1/65/70 (more current) by fastboot it enters correctly img you access twrp to later flash the zip But it never gets installed.
I tried to uninstall using img twrp Magisk zip uninstaller and install the 19.3 / 20v uninstall it completely and flash back to zip twrp but I am in a dead end.
Right now I am with Magisk v20 root edxposed and everything goes phenomenally as a result that I am going to "peel" without having twrp for my backups or anything.
Anyone have any idea how to install twrp again?
boot into twrp.img then flash the last rom you were using, then flash twrp.zip, reboot into recovery and install magisk 19.4. After reboot you will have to enable all your rooted apps again and install your magisk modules again.
Hello.
After the 12.1.3 update, with the new Magisk app the instructions state that we should extract the recovery.img patch it and flash it to the device in fastboot. After a restart the phone should be rooted. This is however not the case. When I try to flash OrangeFox, and flash the avb patcher from Mauronofrio, OrangeFox remains after a reboot and I can enter it any time holding the volume up at boot. So in theory the recovery partition should not be overwritten to default on restart.
But when I flash over a default-magisk-flashed image, the phone remains un-rooted.
Am I doing something wrong or is this an on-going issue?

That is only for the Magisk app, not to root the phone. Rooting the phone is a totally different procedure.
Number ome was the last zip with I root my phone with simple flash and number 2 is the new one.
Look inside.
Here the how to from magisk for a customer recovery.
Download the Magisk APK
Rename the .apk file extension to .zip, for example: Magisk-v22.0.apk → Magisk-v22.0.zip. If you have trouble renaming the file extension (like on Windows), use a file manager on Android or the one included in TWRP to rename the file.
Flash the zip just like any other ordinary flashable zip.
Check whether the Magisk app is installed. If it isn’t installed automatically, manually install the APK.

Did you solve it? After I've updated to V12.1.2.0.RFDMIXM Android 11, I can't install Magisk through TWRP, even with the latest canary release
Also tried installing through patching boot.img and recovery.img, with magisk 21.4, 22.0, and latest canary (22006). Everytime system refuses to boot (shows MIUI boot screen for a couple of minutes, then vibrator, then system reboots to recovery).
I've also searched in https://xiaomi.eu/ forums, and the official Magisk general support thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-general-support-discussion.3432382/ but can't find any solutions.

Patching the images does not work. But installing the magisk.zip (the latest version) through TWRP or OrangeFox does work (tested and confirmed)! I don't get why it works when installing the zip and does not when patching a recovery.img but this is what we got...
Fun Fact, the instruction manual states you have to hold the HW key to enter recovery until the boot logo shows up, for me now the device is rooted on every boot without any issues, without the need to hold down any buttons.

I just decided to update to V12.1.3 yesterday and got the same problem as yours. Keep trying every version of magisk, from latest and its previous to no avail. It got stuck at MIUI logo even when I left for good half an hour. If I didnt flash magisk zip it loads just as normal but without root, but I still want magisk.
Today I just thought of trying different version of recovery. The current one is TWRP-3.3.2B-0219-XIAOMI_CC9PRO-CN-wzsx150 that got me stuck. Then I flash [email protected]_2.zip recovery. Flash V12.1.3 followed by Magisk-v22-0.zip using OrangeFox worked wonderful. Hope it can help you if you are still stuck like me. Now I can sleep at night.

Right now I'm still in trouble, after a Magisk update, my phone got stuck in bootloop I had to wipe everything.
But nor the latest .Eu or Global ROM works with Magisk now. I followed the guide by topjonwho (Magisk dev) that says if I don't have a boot.img, I have to modify the recovery.
Well, no luck.
But! If I take the boot.img from the fastboot ROM, and modify that with Magisk, I can boot it up with root. But if I flash that boot.img I'm still stuck on boot. Same with original and TWRP recovery.
You say using [email protected]_2.zip I can just simply flash Magisk 22.1 az a .zip, like in the good old days?

Yup, tried that boot.img method doesn't work too.
It was magisk 22.0 when I upgraded to 12.1.3 but i guess 22.1 works the same. So nervous waiting the MIUI screen for about 15 minutes, relieved when it finally went through.
Now I'm already upgraded to 12.1.5 magisk 22.1 using the same method. Flash rom followed by magisk zip, like good old days.

Hi, I always use Orange fox but after the Android 11 update I am not able to see any files after installing custom recovery (Orange fox latest). When I boot my phone into orange fox recovery, it is not showing my files. Files are shown as renamed as fkffqwhfjkfhsf something like that

Can you see your files while your phone is booted into OS?
Chances are, the encryption type changed from FDE to FBE, meaning the master key no longer works.
I suggest you backup everything now to a computer, because you can end up like me, and lose access to any file on the phone.
If you saved everything you deem precious from your phone, you need to do a wipe, and then FORMAT /data in recovery.
This will factory reset your phone, but it will work proper with the recovery.
Hey, after installing android 11 on my Oneplus 6 I have servere issues on getting root back.
Both methods I used result in a stuck boot.
Method 1: fastboot boot twrp, then install magisk.zip (tried with both 21.4 (last with a zip) and the renamed 23.0 (from apk to zip)
Method 2: Extracted boot.img from my OTA update, then patched with magisk 23.0.
Flashed the new boot.img -with fastboot -with twrp both result in a stuck boot.
Suprisingly flashing the extracted boot.img from the OTA boots fine, but that image is without magisk
Update: I have extracted the boot.img directly from the phone, patched it and it still doesn't work
I've also tried fastboot boot twrp with a variety of versions of twrp after upgrading to 11.1.1.1 but with no success.
If someone could recommend a verified way to root a op6 with 11.1.1.1 I'd appreciate it

twrp actually works, but after flashing magisk or flashing a magisk boot.img it breaks. I have a working version here
Ping me if you get magisk working
I can confirm the TWRP-3.5.2-enchilada-Nebrassy-2.img run on my OP6 without any issue and allowed my to install the latest magisk, giving me a fully functioning root for my 11.1.1.1 ROM. Thanks for the help

Which installation method of magisk did you use?
How long did you wait after first boot?
I downloaded the full 11.1.1.1 ROM as I was upgrading from a previous rooted 10.3.x version. I placed this file in the phones root directory and use the "local upgrade" feature.
When that completed I rebooted the phone a few times just to make sure everything was working as expected. I usually waited 1-2 minutes before rebooting every time.
Next I placed the latest magisk version file into the root of the phone rebooted into the bootloader and performed fastboot boot TWRP-3.5.2-enchilada-Nebrassy-2.img which booted into the TWRP as expected. Then I installed the magisk.zip and rebooted the phone into a nice newly rooted magisk environment. Tbh I didn't wait anymore 10-20 seconds to reboot after installing magisk while in TWRP.
I hope that's helpful for you

Thanks for the reply, as a last question: Which magisk version did you use (could you link i?t). I assume you took the magisk v23 apk and renamed it to .zip? or what did you do?
Yes. I used the latest canary build of magisk and simply renamed it to magisk.zip

Hmm, I perfectly copied your instructions and still get a bootloop. Even reflashed 11.1.1.1 again. Might be time for a reset
Do you actually get a bootloop or it just gets stuck in the unlocked bootloader warning screen?
Mine hangs there for several minutes before booting, I reflashed several times because of it but all I had to do is wait.

I leave the "bootloader unlocked" screen and the rotating "circle" animation plays. I even can connect via adb logcat to see the boot logs (but I do not understand them, though they clearly loop)
is there a zip version of TWRP-3.5.2-enchilada-Nebrassy-2 available that I can flash or can i flash the standard twrp latest zip after booting in to the nebrassy recovery so that it is permanant recovery?
Also can I flash the latest 23 relase of magisk or does it have to be the canary?
I was able to successfully boot in to the nebrassy recovery but i don't want to get in to a permanent bootloop if the standard twrp zip will break things after flashing or the stable relase of magisk will get me in to a bootloop
Thanks @UraniumDonut !

The twrp image should have a button in twrp called "install current twrp to recovery" or similar. With magisk I cannot help you as I have bootloops with every version of magisk , but @Thratchen had success with the canary version (I didn't)

Try to flash the full update zip with twrp, it will flash to both partitions, then try to flash latest magisk renamed apk in twrp.

Wipe dalvik after flash?
Boot into system or instant flash magisk?
Wipe dalvik after magisk?
Which magisk?(canary or 23.0)?

Thhank @UraniumDonut - that worked - I have never before used that method and honestly didn't even know about it. I use the official documented twrp way which is to first fastboot in to twrp and then install the zip file which has to be located on the phone file system. This method seems a lot easier!
As to magisk, I usually flash that from twrp using the zip file method and never have had any issues. But with all the issues surrounding oos 11 I am playing it safe as I don't want to get in to a boot loop. Will do some more research before I try something. But thanks to you I have made 1 step forward progress!

I wiped
No need to boot first
Wiping once is enough
I'm using 23
I did not install twrp at all, just booted it, flashed Ota and magisk and reboot.

I'm out of ideas. I followed your guide exactly.
Flashed 11.1.1.1 OTA.zip
The log said "installing to inactive slot _b, reboot recovery to flash more zips"
I wiped dalvik,
I rebooted into recovery slot b (I didnt boot into system)
I installed magisk 23.0 APK renamed to zip. It installed into slot b.
I did not wipe dalvik.
I rebooted into system.
I still get a stuck boot (OnePlus circles rotating)
Bonus: after "fastboot flash boot stock_boot.img" it boots fine (but no root)
I never installed TWRP, just "fastboot boot TWRP"
I understand nothing
Just for reference here

Hello, I had my OP7P rooted on android 11, but after updating to 11.0.6.1.GM21AA, I just couldn't get root to work.
I downloaded the OxygenOS 11.0.6.1.GM21AA from oneplus.com, extracted the boot.img, downloaded the new (supposedly with Android 11 support) TWRP (twrp-3.6.0_11-0-guacamole.img), booted to the TWRP, and installed root using the magisk APK, when I booted the phone had "Android Intellegnce stopped working" all sort of apps stopped working as well and some also crashed when I tried to open them, I flashed the original boot image and after some research I saw that using Magisk Canary build might help, so I tried with it too and same result.
I tried installing root using Magisk.apk, I tried patching a boot image using Magisk (both versions) but to no avail.
Some notes:
-Using the Canary build actually rooted my phone unlike the normal Magisk, but with problems still.
-When trying to use TWRP's "Flash Current TWRP" option, it overwrite my boot image and when trying to boot to fastboot or system it booted to recovery instead.
I will be glad for any help because having an unrooted device sucks.
Thanks in advance and sorry for any grammar mistakes (English is not my first language)
May be the first thing I'd think of trying it to disable any/all Magisk module installed.
Then, with the full OTA ROM stored in the main storage directory of your device... Basically a dirty Flash using the same OOS version you are using now and that should save the wipe/reset...
OTA Flash that and do not reboot and in Magisk manager check to see if manager is able to install Magisk as in install after OTA (?). That should work and then reboot device then verify. Don't forget to re-enable and Magisk modules...
Hope that can and will point you into the right direction.
I've not bothered with TWRP since I installed it then the next OTA went back to stock recovery. So, might be worth skipping TWRP for root as is not required so far as I can tell ... But I also have a Windows computer set up to flash via adb command alternatively.
Edit:. Think I forgot to say that the OTA update changed my TWRP back to stock recovery... But that's easy enough it change if desired

Hello, thanks for the reply, I wanna get a few things straight before doing anything that have the potential to brick my phone.
1. My phone rn isn't rooted, so I cant uninstall or disable Magisk modules, I CAN root my device but it is very unstable and im not sure doing it is a good idea, maybe there's another way to disable them?
2. What do you mean by dirty flash? Using the device update section and selecting the official OOS version I downloaded from OnePlus.com?
1) may be forget about root for now as that's probably not the priority at this time. Getting a stable operating system is the priority. And skip TWRP (don't see the point of if being needed at this step either).
2) my best guess is that I've used oxygen updater from the play store to download the full update (not incremental update) that exactly matches the one you have installed now - or search here and find the match to download or used the OnePlus cite to get the file. Then once that is downloaded to your device - go to settings/system/system updates/local update and install and reboot. That's the dirty Flash as in don't wipe/reset your device either before/after the installation. I'm hoping that this method will clean up both the recovery and boot images to stock and hopefully restore stability to your device without the wipe/reset.
Hope that helps and restore the device stability without TWRP nor root.
Hi wugga3, thanks again for your time, unfortunately a stable device is not my problem, I have managed to make a stable boot image by downloading the OOS version from the Oneplus website and flashing the boot image after attempting to root my device unsuccessfully.
My problem right now is that my device isn't rooted and I can't manage to root it using the methods I mentioned above, I currently have an unrooted stable OOS version 11.0.6.1.GM21AA.

How about installing just the magisk APK then taking the exctracted boot.img patching it in magisk APK, then disabling all security , take the patched boot.img and flash it in fast boot ( fastboot flash boot boot.img) reboot to system .

I downloaded the OxygenOS 11.0.6.1.GM21AA from oneplus.com, extracted the boot.img, downloaded the new (supposedly with Android 11 support) TWRP (twrp-3.6.0_11-0-guacamole.img), booted to the TWRP, and installed root using the magisk APK, when I booted the phone had "Android Intellegnce stopped working" all sort of apps stopped working as well and some also crashed when I tried to open them, I flashed the original boot image and after some research I saw that using Magisk Canary build might help, so I tried with it too and same result.
I tried installing root using Magisk.apk, I tried patching a boot image using Magisk (both versions) but to no avail.
Some notes:
-Using the Canary build actually rooted my phone unlike the normal Magisk, but with problems still.
-When trying to use TWRP's "Flash Current TWRP" option, it overwrite my boot image and when trying to boot to fastboot or system it booted to recovery instead.
I will be glad for any help because having an unrooted device sucks.
Thanks in advance and sorry for any grammar mistakes (English is not my first language)

Here's an Orangefox prerooted OxygenOS 11 boot.img that works on 11 and 12. Just boot to fastboot, connect to a PC open a command prompt in the same directory and type..
fastboot flash boot boot-v9-root24.img...
Also it's easier to just flash both slots by this commands..
Fastboot flash boot_a boot-v9-root24.img and then fastboot flash boot_b boot-v9-root24.img...
I dual boot with this version of twrp and here's a solid boot img. You can flash it also in recovery or with "partition manager off play store. Check it out.
Fixed!
Thanks so much for the suggestions, which I might didn't fully consider in a rush...
The solution was to root my phone, reboot it all shaky and try to disable all Magisk modules (took me 2 tries because of the crashes and stuff), then flash again the original boot image, rebooting, creating a rooted boot.img using Magisk and flashing it.

First of all thanks for the help but I ended up fixing it in another way.
Second of all, not really related but do you know if I can use this recovery on OP7Pro A12 custom Rom? (and flash it)
