I'm using ArrowOS and after every OTA update, my phone gets unrooted (new boot.img). How do I avoid this?
There seems to be no method officially to address this issue. Follow this link and do as instructed.
You should be posting this in ArrowOS thread.
Anyway, are you using OTA decryption supported recovery?
Magisk require decryption to reinstall itself, if the recovery you are using doesn't prompt you password during OTA, then it isn't decrypting thus magisk will not reinstall itself.

Can you remind me, does twrp prompt you for password during ota? I don't really remember.
personally, I suggest you to use the official orangefox recovery, I'm using that and magisk reinstall itself though I'm using lineage
Lastly, I don't think arrowos has any recovery of their own

It doesn't. I'll try it, thanks.
I haven't actually tried it yet, but when flashing the No Gravity kernel it says something about Magisk was detected, and it says it's doing something so it won't need to be refreshed. Might be worth a try? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...9-02-protonclang.4328217/page-2#post-85600529

Please follow all directions carefully.
There is an excellent unofficial TWRP by @eng.stk at https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/kernel-t3800965 I have installed it successfully from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=27466#downloads using the following method:
This unofficial TWRP by @eng.stk has working haptic, brightness and MTP
If you already have anotherTWRP installed, you can install the new zip from your TWRP but remember if you had Magisk before, to reboot TWRP and flash Magisk again
NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE STOCK OOS 5.1.5 through latest OOS 9, OR ANY OF THE CUSTOM ROMS
NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
NOTE: I HAVE NOW PERSONALLY TESTED THAT THIS METHOD WORKS IF YOU HAVE OOS 5.1.6 through latest OOS 9
NOTE: FASTBOOT COMMANDS MUST BE INSTALLED AND TESTED ON YOUR PC
NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE MAGISK 17.x ZIP ON YOUR PHONE
*** YOU MUST FOLLOW ALL STEPS EXACTLY ***
Download twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6.img from the above site to your pc
Download twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6.zip from the above site to your phone
Hook phone to pc USB with factory red cable (or other usb-c cable that you have tested)
Reboot phone into bootloader
On your pc, go to the location where you downloaded the twrp image
Type fastboot devices to make sure that you get a response showing your phone and serial number
Type fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6.img
Your phone will boot into twrp YOU WILL PROBABLY BE ASKED TO ENTER YOUR PIN/PATTERN/PASSWORD.
From twrp, install the twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6.zip that you downloaded on your phone
Disconnect your phone from the pc
Reboot twrp back into recovery. You should now be rebooted to the new twrp.
If you had magisk installed, then flash magisk again or you will bootloop back to twrp

Ok so should I follow these same steps if I am on the unofficial twrp with magisk 16.4 already installed?
If I'm installing oos through twrp , do I install the twrp image afterwards to keep TWRP, or do I install the twrp installer, or both?

You must flash magisk again after installing the official TWRP as in the OP

Is there a reason the OP says to specifically flash Magisk version 16.4 (which is a beta version)? I'm running 16.0 (stable) right now and haven't experienced any issues, at least none that I've noticed.

Hey as long as 16.0 is working for you., I see no reason to change. Just make sure you reflash Magisk 16.0 after.
I'm not good at it. I wish someone make youtube video.
FYI, I installed following instructions on TWRP Oneplus6 page. Quick and easy. I'm curious why your instructions require Magisk? It certainly was not required for me. For the record I am not/ was not previously rooted with magisk.
Thanks for the quick guide. Worked like a charm. I am rooted in first attempt. Simple to follow guide. Thanks for putting the guide together.

Don't do it. 5.1.8 will be released end of next week and you will be doing this all over again. I was going to myself but I'm waiting until the next release until someone pushes full writeup and review
You can install it via the update manager. But yes, you are going to lose twrp and root, which is not a problem at all since it took me only like 5 minutes to get it all working again.

if u update through the OS like updater app or anything, u will have to re-flash twrp using the fastboot method, if you already have twrp installed then just update via twrp with full zip, install twrp installer zip, and then magisk (i usually reboot back to recovery after i install twrp installer then flash magisk). Then you are done, u do not lose anything and do no wipe anything either

The easiest way is to download and install the update through the settings app then BEFORE you reboot open Magisk, click install then install to second slot.
No flash or worrying

Download the ota.zip, reboot to TWRP, flash ota, flash TWRP.zip, reboot to OS, reboot to recovery again if you want magisk and install magisk zip. Done. No data loss or changing settings.
Latest TWRP doesn't support Android Pie 9.0 for OnePlus 6, or at least for me it didn't.
So, I've made a Magisk patched boot image for Android P that we can flash it in fastboot bootloader.
Note: This is not Oxygen OS ROM, this is just a patched boot img for Oxygen OS to make root work. You need to unlock the bootloader before proceeding with anything.
Note 2: Please disable Magisk modules in the Magisk Manager before flashing the patched boot, because some modules might not support the latest OOS and your device will bootloop. If the modules has been updated by the devs to support the latest OOS you can install the modules after that.
Note 3: Sorry guys, I haven't tested the Android Q Developer Previews. Even though Magisk is supported on Q, please flash it at your own risk.
For older versions download from here: Google Drive
Folder updated with Stock boot images as well.
OOS 10 Open Beta 5 Patched Boot
OOS 10 Open Beta 5 Stock Boot
OOS 10.3.1 Patched Boot
OOS 10.3.1 Stock Boot
Flashing instructions:
Code:
fastboot boot (patched_boot_filename_here).img
or
fastboot flash boot (patched_boot_filename_here).img
Thanks @vlaf
reboot to system (if you make another reboot the root won't stick, so continue with the following steps)
Open Magisk (in settings select beta channel) and click install and install Magisk again with Direct Install (recommended)
reboot again and the root will stick even after the reboot.
The thread I followed for the instructions is here. Thanks for @b1czu
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-magisk-root-oos-5-1-5-t3794440
Even easier way to root without TWRP:
1. Install OTA update (Don't reboot).
2. Open Magisk Manager, install Magisk and choose "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)" (Now reboot).
3. Now you are rooted without TWRP and without any boot img hassles as well.
wow dude that's useful. I don't need TWRP that bad but I need root to use Titanium backups.

Easy way to install twrp is to fastboot boot twrp. From there, you must turn on adb sideload and push twrp to phone because it will not decrypt storage. After install, reboot to recover and it will ask for password to decrypt. Then just flash magisk to have root with working twrp. Also, you have to use twrp 3.2.2 or it will crash.

Root users beware: issues with newer TWRP version!
This article only applies to users running TWRP recovery on a rooted device. Don't have TWRP or don't know what this means? You're probably fine.
If you've recently installed or updated TWRP recovery, you might have faced that you can't install anything with it, and that the start screen is immediately shown when updating your device via Oxygen Updater.
Why is this happening to me?
From what it seems, this issue is caused by TWRP versions 3.2.2-0 and 3.2.3-0 being incompatible with the storage encryption technology present on OnePlus devices.
Normally, you're asked to enter your PIN or unlock pattern before installing an update / flashing something yourself. However, these new TWRP versions don't prompt for it anymore. Therefore, accessing the storage space of your device is no longer possible.
This is really frustrating, as almost all of your updates / .zip files are stored there. But luckily, there is a solution:
How do I fix this issue?
First of all, if you don't have encryption turned on or are not facing this issue, do not proceed with the steps below since flashing a new version of TWRP can be risky.
Now for the the solution: it involves downgrading TWRP to an earlier version, in which installing updates still worked correctly.
The downgrade can be done either by using a computer with the fastboot command, or by using flashing apps such as the Official TWRP app or Flashify on your device itself.
These are the steps you'll need to do:
- Make sure to download TWRP version 3.2.1-1 for your specific device. This is the version which worked fine, and is still fairly recent.
- Flash the version of TWRP using your method of choice. For fastboot users, connect your device to your computer in Fastboot mode and type fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-1-<yourdevice>.img. When using any of the flashing apps, browse to the correct TWRP.img file and flash it.
- Reboot your device. You'll now be able to access the working version of TWRP
- Do not update your TWRP version until it has been confirmed that this issue has been resolved.
Thanks to Peter Aarnoutse for reporting this issue.
So since twrp latest works fine on my device with encryption included, I can just start the update?

The unofficial is maintained by the same person as official.
Also it's not a bug. It's the change in encryption /decryption. So if you won't use unofficial then you can wait patiently for official to update there source and build.
