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 .

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)

Did you fastboot boot into TWRP, then flash twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.0.2-0-RC1.zip? Were you stock prior?
Installed img through pc then installed the zip file with twrp. I found a article here stating I need to flash stock ing to get back to normal

Yes, you are not supposed to install twrp, just boot into it. If you install it by mistake, you go back, flash stock boot.img, and do it again.
This is from Dees_Troy's post located here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/development/twrp-alpha1-pixel-devices-t3500314
Installation:
If you already have TWRP installed: Download the latest zip and install the zip using TWRP.
If you do not already have TWRP installed: Download both the img and the zip. Copy the zip to your device. You will need to have fastboot binaries and the correct drivers installed. Power off your device completely. Hold volume down and turn on the device. Your device should now be in the bootloader. Connect the device to your PC. Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:
fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img
This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. If you are using a lockscreen pin/pattern/password and do not get prompted to enter your passord, reboot to the bootloader and try again. Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. If you are currently rooted with SuperSU, you will need to reflash the stock boot image before installing TWRP. After installing the stock boot image, follow the instructions for installing TWRP. Once TWRP is installed, grab the very latest SuperSU released on 2015-11-15 or later and install SuperSU.
If you accidently flash TWRP to your device using fastboot instead of temporarily booting the image, you will need to download the latest factory image for your device and reflash the boot image.
@Tulsadiver First off, thanks for the post on this. I installed TWRP to slot A by accident and am finding myself in this same predicament (though I found that I can boot by switching to slot B). I found another post online that mentioned what you commented on, specifically:

Having previously downloaded Oreo 8.1 and setup root, I had loaded into TWRP, went to install, selected the TWRP zip, and installed (as per what you had suggested and what I read earlier). This is what led me to the current problem, making me realize that I'm missing something in the description. Now, I likely don't need to flash TWRP (I don't develop and used flashfire to do upgrades) but my last upgrade left me rootless and I felt having it installed would make life a little easier. I was hoping to ask for a clarification on the TWRP install.

Things have changed with 8.1. you have to root with magisk. From slot b you cannot fastboot flash boot_a boot.img?
I believe the instructions now are to boot to TWRP, install TWRP pixel installer zip, then flash Magisk zip
Here is where TWRP files are here

I hadn't tried yet. I was worried about messing things up further without asking for help online first. I'll give this a shot later. Does boot.img refer to the android image file? (ie: what I'd download from the OTA site?)

Yes, the zip file that is located where the flash-all.bat is. Unzip it and flash the boot.img.
I bought a Pixel 2 on swappa. It had different bootloader's on slot a and slot b. I couldn't flash updates when on slot a. I thought I was hosed but from slot b I could flash to slot a so now I'm fine. Slot a had a preview bootloader.

Hold Power + vol up + vol down for several seconds should put you in bootloader. Or alteranately, Power+vol down for several seconds should send you to TWRP if you have it installed. From there, I'm thinking you may need to flash the stock ROM again, since you were messing with the system partition, and the phone is not booting now. Either flash stock ROM in TWRP, or use the fastboot stock ROM.
I didn't have twrp installed and i still dont, i patched the boot image with magisk and all i have is root cause i cant seem to keep TWRP installed after 9.5.3, im currently on 10.3.0

You should be able to fastboot flash stock boot.img from the fastboot ROMs to get the phone running again: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424
This will unroot the phone. But you should be able to easily root again by the method you did originally.
What is the problem you are having with installing TWRP? You haven't specifically described how you tried to install. I've had no issues using the TWRP installer zip, after multiple updates.
You need to re flash stock so, boot lastest twrp (fastboot boot twrp.img) and flash lastest stock rom.
And if you need an app as system use magisk module App Systemizer (you also need busybox module and Termux app from playstore) this is the only way (that I known) to convert user apps to system

tried that first part too, cant get into twrp and that makes sense now, i installed busy box but never opened the app to install to system/xbin
here's how ive done my part so far.. ever since i bricked my device last feb 24 , rendering it totally unresponsive.. that not even vol up & power button dont work
1. had to use msm tool just to boot my device. successfully boot my device to 9.5.3
2. device seemed to have a locked bootloader again so i un.lock it again. downloaded a patched 9.5.3 boot.img and flashed it via fastboot
3. successful root confirmed..
4. downloaded twrp 3.3.1-75 unofficial installer.. about 17.5mb. flashed it thru magisk as a module.. then install magisk ( as recommended) then reboot.
5. after a reboot.. and setting it up to my liking,, i reboot to twrp to flash the latest 10.3.1 stable rom..
6. flash twrp installer again.
7. hit reboot then choose Recovery . phone reboot to recovery again
8. flash magisk.zip which i downloaded earlier. then reboot.
done
updated to 10.3.1 with magisk & twrp intact..
btw.. i really dont know how to force my phone to reboot to twrp via PC ADB fastboot command.. easiest way for me to install TWRP is by flashing the TWRP INSTALLER as magisk module

That is because that is NOT the correct way to install TWRP img. You need to fastboot boot TWRP, then once in TWRP flash the TWRP installer zip, as I already mentioned.
This is described in the TWRP dev's thread (and you will see no mention of fastboot flash TWRP).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...nt/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322
Also make sure you use a current version of TWRP (latest is unofficial -76) which you can get from the above link.

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.

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.

So I'll have wait at boot for about 15 min? I'm afraid of screen burn-in.
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,
I updated already rooted phone with Oxygen updater (forgot that he will remove TWRP in auto install) and now can't get it to fastboot into TWRP with ADB. I tried several .img files but non worked. Every time it goes to Crash dump.
Did someone successfully fastbooted into one? Or the only solution is to go back and do it manually from OOS 10?
Thank you!

If you are on OOS 11 then use the attached file and try the below steps.
1. Reboot to Fastboot mode.
2. Use command : Fastboot boot boot.img (use attached TWRP alone)
3. Once rebooted to recovery mode Install recovery by Advanced -> Install Current TWRP . This should install the image automatically to your device.
Reboot your phone to system mode and then reboot it back to recovery mode later.
Hope the above helps.
TWRP is wonky on A11, for now.
If I'm not mistaken the TWRP provided by other poster will have issues with making and restoring backups.
If you are still rooted and looking for a backup/restore method, you might as well leave TWRP alone for now and simply maintain root through the Magisk app. If root was lost, then you can use the version provided here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-11-unofficial-teamwin-recovery-project.4306803/ which is likely what other user posted, to restore root and then wait for Google to release the full deets on A11 to hobby developers who can then make a new TWRP.
This worked for me to get back TWRP and root after upgrading. Thank you very much!
Unsure if this is the place since its also related to TWRP 3.7, any help is appreicated
Got stuck in a weird situation and wondering if anyone has ideas.
Current State:
Slot_A on OOS 11, can boot TWRP via Fastboot
Slot_B on OOS 12, can only boot into Fastboot
Originally on OOS 11, booted TWRP and made backups of all partitions (data, boot, system image, vendor image, etc.). Forgot to move this to computer so this is all still stored on device.
Proceeded with OOS 12 upgrade (into Slot B). Patched magisk, rebooted, then flashed TWRP 3.7 (FBEv1), direct installed magisk, rebooted. - Everything was functional, but decided to go back to OOS 11.
Thinking I could just use the TWRP backup made on OOS 11, I did the following:
Booted into 3.7 TWRP
Restored the backup for boot, system image, and vendor image
Set active slot to Slot A and reboot
It doesn't allow me to boot into the OS (Presumably because the data was re-encrypted for OOS 12?)
Set active-slot=b and reboot, but it's locked to fastboot.
I've attempted a few things, but I can't boot back into OOS. I would prefer to retrieve my TWRP backups first before doing an MSM reset.
When on Slot_A (older), I can only boot into TWRP 3.6.2 and 3.7. I'm guessing 3.6.2 can't decrypt since it's only configured for A11 and under, but not sure why 3.7 can't decrypt my data.
- It doesn't even ask for pin when TWRP launches; maybe it's reading the System for Slot_A and thinks i'm still on A11?
- running `twrp decrypt {pin}` doesn't seem to work. Unsure if there's something done to my lockscreen pin to be used as the encryption key/password?
When on Slot_A, attempting to boot into either the system or TWRP hangs.
Things I've tried:
Flashing A11 boot.img and magisk-patched boot.img to Slot_A -> Hangs on 1+ Spinning dots
Flashing A12 boot.img and magisk-patched boot.img to Slot_B -> Hangs on 1+ logo (Does show up on ADB though)
Booting Slot_B into TWRP 3.6.2 (Official, and Nebrassy unofficial for A12) and TWRP 3.7 -> Gets stuck on "Fastboot Mode" screen (fastboot cli still responds) or Hangs on snapdragon logo
Edit: Ended up using MSM. Needed device for work
I have a similiar problem to flash twrp to my phone ,
each time i try i get a fastboot loop too and i have to reset/unbrick it with the msm tool back to android 11
i use the OnePlus_7_Pro_Global_OxygenOS_11.0.5.1 package to unbrick the phone , i dont know how long and often i tried now to get twrp to work so that i can flash a custom fw ... i want root and a android 13 based cfw but i dont get it to work :/
I got it working with crdroid. heres some stuff
guacamole - Google Drive
drive.google.com
be carefull
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
------------------------------------
I got stable and decrypted fs RW working on crdroid 9.1 firmware other than some weird bugs
i put it in the 2023-twrp

I have the exact same problem! Have you found a fix yet? This seems to happen when I try to install Android 13 based roms, and when I install a rom like Lineage OS, using their recovery, it works just fine.
No, and I don't know why, maybe i do something wrong or it is the Modell that make this trouble.
I thinking to sell my OP7PRO and buy another one ( and then I have the same problem with the new phone )
No no let the jokes aside, it must work, i mailed with OnePlus Support Germany but they only helped me to install A11 w/root and recovery, i thought ok now I can update to A13 so I loaded A13, unpacked the boot.img, Patched the boot.img
Installed A13 w/out errors, rebooted - Fastboot loop
RIP
Started ranting instead
TWRP for guacamole development seems to be fairly scarce, last working recovery I tried was when they started using fastboot boot to enter it. It was pretty hacky even then, currently it seems that nebrassy is the maintainer for twrp for guacamole.
Github: https://github.com/nebrassy Android 12 thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-12-official-teamwin-recovery-project.4269551/ Nebrassys Telegram has helpful info as well: https://t.me/NSSFB
last update I found was 2022:10:2 - https://www.pling.com/s/Phones/p/1835156
after a few days of torture I read a thread on here saying if you flashed twrp via magisk like you would if it was a magisk moule it would work normally. It worked on my device so I assume that its universal. I have filled my computer with guacamole related files Im uploading here before im forced to reinstall my os:
guacamole - Google Drive
drive.google.com
Just a fyi from what I have gathered from my experience you can get a stable twrp recovery with persistant / read write access and disabled encryption and basically use it with little error up until you try flashing a newer custom rom. My guess is when flashing a cfw the bootloader gets rewritten causing our boot image to become corrupted. Flashing twrp over / booting to twrp via fastboot or trying to install it via another custom recovery causes boot / recovery failures... meaning you cant really use it for flashing custom roms. I cant find the post with the install instructions I seen that helped me so here is what I think it was,
Found it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-make-twrp-work-in-your-stock-a12.4522667/#post-87985325
~ I have bricked this device constantly while ****ing around so unless youre prepared to go to war with the ****er, Id quit messing with it.
MSM flashing with windows is the only way to recover from the void.

~If you do brick I created a fastboot flashable A13 Oxygen os recovery rom and uploaded it to my google drive found under recovery_brick_fastboot.zip ~
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
lastly be mindful of a/b partition configuration or youll find yourself lost or bricked
Installation:
1. Obviously unlock the bootloader - OEM Unlock
2. Flash custom recovery (lineage/crdroid/etc)
3. (Personally I root here and again on the active slot so) flash magisk.zip
4. Reboot into installed ROM and install magisk android app and complete setup, reboot system
5. (another thing I like to do before flashing twrp) setup magisk enable all the basic options like prophide, deny list then set root userspace option to global.
6. Flash TWRP .zip (https://dl.twrp.me/guacamolev2/twrp-installer-3.7.0_12-0-guacamolev2.zip) via magisk
Alright! After all that you should be able to reboot into recovery via adb reboot recovery / fastboot or power menu and you find a working twrp recovery installed.
If you need help or want to **** around with the device you can @ me anytime and ill do my best to halp

You Confussing me a lot with your Posts before ...
i´m unsure what you mean exactly,
my bootloader is unlocked, with magisk i got a working root but after that i fail
what you mean with flash twrp with magisk ?
after unlocking the bootloader and get root, i tryd to flash twrp like before on other devices but that seems not working because i get then the fastboot loop
on another thread i found here on xda too, the guy wrote dont forget to activate the fastboot loop fix in the advanced options
but i not tried it yet again , so what should i do now ?
for now , i´m back on android11 , with stock oxygen os firmware
i have to do now the things like i did before again , unpack boot.img from the firmware that is installed on the device
patch it with magisk, flash it with "fastboot flash boot boot-patched.img" or is this step senseless ?
i mean you only wrote unlock bootloader and flash a cfw , but i don´t have a chance to flash a custom fw without a custom recovery ??
my recovery on my op7pro have no options for "install zip" or something else
addendum:
like i said you confused me a lot
addendum two:
or i do what i said before .. i sell my op7pro and buy me a one where i havent so much trouble installing twrp and root
i never had a phone before that made so much trouble in installing simple twrp ...
but i don´t found a phone yet that is compatible with kali and the pentest tools or wardriving tools like the oneplus , so i have a problem ,... i think i should drink now my selfmade blackberry liquor ( or blackberry booze ? ) and let the smartphone be a smartphone for now and power off my brain for a while
Yes, you need to patch your boot image via magisk and flash it with fastboot.
After you let magisk do its first time setup and then once it reboots you go to Magisk > Modules and flash the twrp recovery .zip file you got from twrp. link:https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplus7pro.html just like you would if it was a magisk module.
the password for twrp decryption is your pin. Here are simpler instructions
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-make-twrp-work-in-your-stock-a12.4522667/#post-87985325
****... I forgot a step.
after flashing twrp as a module in magisk you dont reboot, you go back to the main screen hit the install button and choose direct install
Now I understand it more, i had before rooted the phone successful with magisk, but then I made a wrong decision and booted into Fastboot and flashed TWRP in Fastboot Mode as I did it before with all my Smarties i had before, coz those way with Fastboot worked before all the time so I never thought that this is the error in the procedure
I give the twrp flashing with magisk a try.
Thx for the help

Thank @yassine2217 because I would never have done so either.... Still many bugs but twrp is twrp
