Hello XDA!
It's been a while since I did 'modding' on phones, I think I started with the OP1 back in 2014 but have not really been keeping up ever since. I am now on 5.1.5 and running official OOS with magisk and xposed for gravitybox.. Can I just disable magisk and xposed, do the OTA update and then re-enable or do I have to uninstall them fully? Or can I just do the OTA right now?
Sorry for what might be a really obvious answer.
Thank you!
You can do the OTA but if you want magisk (and then xposed systemless) i suggest you to install TWRP after update and you need in all cases to re-do root process

Ahh I see. Because xposed is now systemless it doesn't matter if I leave it enabled right? Is the new official TWRP without any dangerous bugs?
Thanks for your swift reply!!
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
oneplus6 ha a/b partition. so if you installed magisk 16.4 already. just OTA. when it's done don't reboot yet. enter magisk manager, choose install on the second partition. reboot.

This will useful only if don't have TWRP, in other case you'll lose twrp in this way

TWRP official has no bug, the only thing i don't know is if backup/restore is working fine, if you install ota via TWRP and then flash (without reboot) twrp.zip and magisk, after reboot you'll find out that system is exactly the same it was before updating
The only thing u need to disable before updates are overlays through substratum, I also remove any security like finger prints, face unlock and pin or patterns too just in case. Once u flash update u will have to reflash magisk and xposed too

How do you install to second partition? I only get install or uninstall Magisk (16.70) on the screen. i AM NEW TO MAGISK.
Will there be any incompatibility issues with magisk and xposed?
No problem with rooted device on updating, althought you will get unrooted once you update with OTA.
Also, there is no xposed for Pie.
Not yet faced any issues. After OTA update done don't reboot the device. just come to Magisk manager -> install -> select install after OTA option and reboot so that you won't lose root.
Ok, I will stay on oreo for now then. Does Pie run better than Oreo on stock?
Should've read this **** before updating to Pie.
Currently in a bootloop after going from oreo to Pie :'(
What is the latest version of Oreo I should be able to get to with Xposed on OP6?
I faced some issues. After updating to 9.0.2 TWRP and Magisc were gone. So had to reroot and reinstall TWRP via fastboot.
Yes.. this will ALWAYS happen. if you want to keep root when doing OTA you have to do this after install is done, but before reboot!
open magisk app
press downloads
search for TWRP A/B
Install that module ( :::::...:.:..:...::::O NOT REBOOT:::::...:.:..:...::::
Go to main screen of magisk again
press install
press install to inactive slot (after ota)
NOW you can reboot and all will be kept.
If you do it from TWRP (like i prefer, since its just faster)
Flash full rom
flash Twrp (blu_spark latest)
reboot to twrp
flash magisk (latest)
done.
flashing roms will ALWAYS override recovery and boot partition
If I understand you precisely, you say, that this is a question of OTa roms. I am not very keen for OTA. Would TWRP and Magisk stay when flashing a non-OTA rom? If yes, are there non-OTAs of OOS?
No what I ment was using the update function from within android.
You will ALWAYS override recovery and Magisk. Follow the steps above when you flash..
Always like this from twrp
Flash Rom
Flash Recovery
Reboot to twrp
Flash magisk
And u be good...
OK thanks. I did wrongly to accept the automatic update instead of downloading the zip and install it via TWRP.
Hi
Just looking at rooting and installing twrp and magisk on one plus 7 pro new phone
Can you install twrp and magisk on android 10?
Yes you can. you need the unofficial twrp (version 3.3.1-70, 71 or 72). Magisk will work just fine. It is just a bit painful when you update your phone with a OTA because you will lose root.

can you not just Install Magisk to Inactive Slot after OTA? Then you shouldn't lose root after an update.

yes, that's right. You also need to get twrp retention scrip Magisk module flashed after the OTA so you don't lose twrp.
Rooted T-Mobile OP7p running stock with TWRP. Usually with every update I download the full version, flash in TWRP, inject TWRP then flash magisk. But with this update I flashed what Oxygen Updater tells me is 10.0.3 but upon reboot I'm still running 10.0.1? Flash succeeds with no errors. Anyone got any idea on what I'm seeing?

Beautiful! Thanks for explaining that to me. Unfortunately I softbricked the phone in the process of trying to figure this all out and needed up having to flash 10.0.3 from scratch and losing all my data ? thanks again!!
I'm new to OnePlus again, had a Pixel as my last phone. Got the notice there's a new update for OOS13. I am rooted and, if possible, want to stay on stock ROM.
I checked the process and it seems the two ways to update are applying the full image or temporarily deinstalling Magisk, running the OTA, then reinstalling Magisk to other slot. Well, OxygenOS Updater and the OnePlus website show no full image for this latest update, so I tried the second method and that did not work at all, it went straight to the Qualcomm bugcheck screen on boot and then basically wouldn't start until I went back to fastboot and got back to Slot A.
So, am I missing something or is there just a lag before the full ROM gets posted? Or will OnePlus just never post it and I need to go to a third party ROM?

Uninstall magisk restore images only. Don't reboot ,start ota let it install. Don't reboot. Go into magisk install and apply to ota . Boots into other slot. Qualcomm crash dump is probably because you left modules enabled. Disable and reboot before you start all of this. All your doing is supplying an apparent stock boot.img to allow ota to install. I just did process going to F-18 and all is well. Actually I msm back to A10 patch boot there. And carry it all the way to latest update. !! Pm me if you have any questions and gl.

I did everything except disable modules. Do I disable modules first, then do "restore images?" Is there a reboot after disabling modules? [EDIT: nevermind, i see you did say to reboot after disabling modules]
How do I start over? Right now the other slot doesn't boot and in the OS the system update just says "reboot to apply update" as in it won't reinstall it. I've also tried flashing the boot image over with stock so I've sort of already messed up the inactive slot, probably.

If it was me I'd start fresh. Run msm tool will take you back to Android 10. 11.2.4.4 patch boot here and carry all the way through. Won't have modules to disable. In A10 you just use 23.1 magisk version . Patch boot.img. fastboot boot patched.img direct install then it backs up stock properly. You really need working msm tool handy anyway.
In order to update through A13/f18 you need magisk 25.2 stable to carry it through. Just start with 23.1 to patch . Then update magisk version.
I want to avoid wiping and starting over if possible. My Slot A boots fine, has root (I reflashed the Magisk modified boot image and it came right back), and everything is working on OOS13 F17. I just need to get the new update into Slot B which the updater seems to think is already applied.
Can I just redo the OTA or flash the full OOS13 F17 through OOS Updater?

Have you tried updating to build through system updates ? Instead of third party app.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are asking. I have only used system updates so far. About -> Update. Currently that is saying it's installed and to reboot.
OK, I dug myself out of the hole. Here is how I fixed my situation and successfully updated to F.18 without any data loss.
Beginning state:
SLOT A: OOS13 F.17, rooted, working
SLOT B: OOS13 F.18, broken, will not boot
1. Disabled all Magisk Modules
2. Reboot
3. Used Oxygen Updater to download the FULL rom, which is currently at F.17, which matches the level I was operating under currently.
4. Installed this ROM, which went into SLOT B.
5. Tested booting. Worked, but no root (as expected). Double checked I was in SLOT B. I was.
6. Boot back to SLOT A.
7. Use Magisk to patch the inactive partition.
8. Boot back to SLOT B.
9. Tested root. Working.
10. Magisk uninstall, Restore Images Only
11. Using Oxygen Updater, downloaded the F.18 OTA incremental.
12. Install incremental.
13. Use Magisk to patch the inactive partition.
14. Reboot.
15. Success!
16. Re-enable Magisk Modules.
17. Reboot.
18. Still success!

I transfered root from f17 to f18 with 25.2 not canary. It works sir..you uninstall magisk only restore images. Start internal ota . Use install feature on magisk to install to inactive. Real simple.
This is how I have been doing it, not the quickest though.
1. Download OOS update from Oxygen Updater.
2. Disable all Magisk modules.
3. Flash stock boot.img
4. Flash OOS update via Local OOS System Update app.
5. Reboot
6. Extract boot.img using MSM readback
7. Patch boot.img through Magisk
8. Flash patched boot.img
9. Turn all Magisk modules back on.
When I was on OOS 12, I did try using the restore image option in Magisk but it never worked for me, this is why I had to do it this way. However, I have not tried on OOS 13 so I will give this another crack on the next update. If it does work, its way easier.

That is because you did not let magisk make the backup in the first place. After you patch the img, you are supposed to fastboot boot patch img not flash.

Ahhhh... I take it after you boot into the patched image, you go into Magisk and do a direct install?

Did you do any additional steps after you restored images and saw "restoration done" message? I tried several times and installation fails anyway. I did all according to these steps
