OnePlus 7 pro root problem

Hello.yesterday i tried to root my OnePlus 7 pro.i unlocked the bootloader first and then I have installed the twrp on slot a and slot b.then I have installed magisk,from this moment the WiFi on my phone stopped working.(when I am turning them on the automatically turned off)I tried again to flash stock ROM and twrp but when I install magisk I had the same problem.Then somehow I accidentally bricked the phone and today I have the stock ROM with unlocked bootloader and I need your help to root.

You my friend need to learn how to write clearly xD.
Continuing where you left off this is how you achieve root with Magisk:
1.Boot into the bootloader
2. Using cmd (I assume you installed ADB drivers and fast boot drivers already if not Youtube a guide) use the following command:
fastboot boot <twrp image file here>
once you're in TWRP you can flash the TWRP install ZIP.
Once you're done with that Reboot -> Recovery.
3. Flash Magisk and you're done.
I doubt you're really bricked. Since you have the bootloader unlocked just do the button combo to get into recovery or the bootloader.

Thats the method i did.the real problem is the magisk.are there stable or better magisk versions?

The phone now is stock and unrooted

20.3 is the latest version and works perfectly fine on mine
o.o
How is it not stable?

I dont know if i did something wrong.the only difference from HermitDash method is that this comand (fastboot boot <twrp image file here>) not worked for me so i used this
fastboot flash boot_a path-to-twrp.img" and this fastboot flash boot_b path-to-twrp.img"

I dont understand why they say after you boot into twrp from fastboot to reflash twrp.zip file in twrp. I never do and it still works the same. And when you do flash the twrp.zip it says your now unrooted flash magisk. And when you flash magisk it actually then unroots magisk. The best way to root the oneplus 7 pro is using payload extractor and patching the boot.img with magisk. and booting magiskpatched.img then after installing the magisk manager go to modules and flash twrp from there. alot easier.

Can you explain this easier method you said here to try it as i am a noob?

Follow this guide and you won't need to use the patched boot,img file. I've never liked using the patched boot img.

Thank you GeekMcLeod your method worked

It's just easier than having to manually extract the boot.img
fastboot boot twrp is just to get twrp up and running then flashing the script actually installs it.
Yes it does say that it'll unroot you but for those that are unrooted already this step doesn't do anything.
After flashing you reboot TWRP so it works fresh post-script.
Then install magisk as usual and reboot to system done.
This is if you want both TWRP and Magisk all done at the same time vs booting the boot.img installing Magisk then installing TWRP where I can have it all done within TWRP which is the usual route people take to get to root.

Fastboot boot twrp just remotely boots a "temporary" (one time) instance of TWRP, but does not install TWRP to the device. Flashing the TWRP installer zip is for installing TWRP on the device. This is optional and a matter of personal preference, and not needed to achieve root. What the installer zip does, is extract the boot.img and injects TWRP, then installs that modified boot.img back to the phone.
And when you do flash the twrp.zip it says your now unrooted flash magisk.
Correct. When the installer zip patches the boot.img to install TWRP (as described above), root is removed.
And when you flash magisk it actually then unroots magisk.
Not correct. Magisk roots the phone. If you flashed Magisk and did not have root, what may be happened, is that you may have flashed Magisk to one slot, then somehow booted to the other (unrooted) slot.
The best way to root the oneplus 7 pro is using payload extractor and patching the boot.img with magisk. and booting magiskpatched.img then after installing the magisk manager go to modules and flash twrp from there. alot easier.
Manually patching the boot.img is certainly a valid way to achieve root, and maybe more reliable. I'd hesitate to say it is "easier".
Also, if you flash TWRP as a Magisk module, you will still need to flash Magisk again to have root. Flashing TWRP by that method will still unroot the phone, same as the other method (as I described above).

You did it wrong. Those two command do completely different things. So the difference in commands is a big one.
As I mentioned above, fastboot boot TWRP.img just remotely boots a temporary (one time) instance of a boot.img that has been patched to include TWRP. Then the correct way to install TWRP to the phone is (from the temporary booted TWRP) flash the TWRP installer zip, which properly extracts your phone's boot.img partition, patches it to install TWRP, then installs the modified boot.img back to the phone.
Fastboot flash boot TWRP.img does something completely different. It flashes the img to the boot partition. "Flash" is the action in this case, and "boot" is the location (not the action). The TWRP img is not meant to be installed to the phone. Don't know for sure, but I highly suspect that boot.img has some differences depending on your 7 Pro model. So when folks incorrectly flash TWRP.img, they are replacing the phone's kernel and breaking WiFi, and sometimes cell network and/or Bluetooth. Again, the correct way to install TWRP is to use the installer zip (as described in the previous paragraph) which properly takes your phones specific boot.img and patches it.
What folks should understand, is that A/B partition devices (like the 7 Pro) do not have a discrete recovery partition. Recovery is part of the boot partition, which also contains the kernel. So by doing "flash boot" you are messing with the kernel in ways you should not, and therefore results like broken WiFi is not surprising.

Magisk if fine. Your issues are due to pilot error, as I've described above.

How can the Ulefone Armor 8 be rooted?

Hello to all,
i've been trying since 1 week now to root an Ulefone Armor 8, but it doesn't work. All drivers are installed. The OS installed on the device is Android 10, the build version is X70WSFFB.GQU.EEA.FHJ.Q0.TJAPA9VDYPTS.0703.V3.01. I have already contacted Ulefone and asked if there is another build version (for EU), but it is the only one currently available.
In the firmware there are two boot.img. One is called "boot.img" and the other is called "boot-debug-img". First I only patched the "boot.img" with Magisk and flashed the patched "magisk-patched.img" via ADB. After that the Armor 8 had a bootloop. The bootloop could be removed by flashing the original "boot.img" via ADB. The Armor started normally again.
After that I patched the "boot.img" and the "boot-debug.img" with Magisk and renamed them to "magisk-patched1.img" and "magisk-patched2.img". After that I flashed first the " magisk-patched1.img" and then the " magisk-patched2.img" via ADB. The Armor 8 then had a boot loop again. To get the bootloop away, the original "boot.img" was flashed back and Armor 8 is back in its factory default state.
How can it be rooted, what should I do differently? Could it be because there are two "boot" files in the firmware?
Sorry if my english is not perfect.
Thanks for your help and tips.
Greetings

https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-ulefone-armor-8/

I have tried that too, but it doesn' t work.
I flashed the "boot.img" with Magisk, from this Magisk created the file "patched_magisk.img". I moved this file to the ADB folder. After that I did it again with the file "boot-debug.img". Then I put the armor in fastboot mode and first I entered the command "fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img".
ADB writes: writing 'boot_ a'... FAILED (remote: This partition doesn't exist)
After that I still moved the patched "boot-debug.img" into the ADB folder and entered the command "fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img".
ADB writes: writing 'boot_b'... FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
Magisk didn't create 2 patched files from 1 "boot.img", but in the unpacked ROM there are 2 .img files, namely "boot.img" and "boot-debug.img", which I patched one after the other and then flashed.
I have also downloaded the firmware of Armor 7. Of course not to install it, just to see if there are 2 boot.img (= boot.img + boot-debug.img) in it, too. For Armor 7 there is only 1 file "boot.img". For Armor 8 in the firmware there are "boot.img" and "boot-debug.img"
I have now tried overall:
just flash the patched "boot.img" = bootloop
flash only the patched "boot-debug.img" = bootloop
then first the patched "boot.img" and then the patched "boot-debug.img" = bootloop
Now just now again with the command "fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img" = error message and then continue with the command "fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img" = error message.
I think the problem is that there are 2x boot.img files in the ROM?
Edit:
And the SP-Flash-Tool shows that I should remove the battery, but the Armor has a fixed battery.

The SP Flash Tool now works after reinstalling the Vcom driver.
I have now extracted the boot.img of Armor 8 with the SP Flash Tool via "Readback". This file was then patched with Magisk. The file "magisk_patched.img" is together with the file boot.img in the same folder.
This was then flashed to the Armor with the SP Flash Tool in "Download only" mode. The flashing process is running normally and finally "Download Ok".
After that the Armor 8 will start normally and without bootloop, but it still has no root.
Does anyone have an idea?

I also have an armor 8 and I noticed that when u enter developer mode u can unlock the bootloader from there. Which allows you to install root access more successfully
after tapping on the kernel build go back and enter the option where it says system. There u will find the developer options.
after that, I had to follow some steps from this video
I got the stock ROM from the Ulefone website https://www.ulefone.com/support/software-download.html
where I was able to get the boot.img and patch it with magisk however I kept on getting a boot loop so I'll probably figure out another way to root it
1st
2nd

ignore

Have you succeeded yet? I am interested in this phone but want to be sure it can be rooted
Instead of trying to patch it from fastboot, just try booting! Follow the instructions below.
You may want to try the following steps: Just ignore the part about using their rom since it is a different phone. You should be using the Ulefone ROM
[Guide] Install Magisk on your device, updated to handle OTAs easily
[Update in 1st September 2018] Magisk v17 stable has been released, so the August security update: a new method, more OTA-compliant, is written. Hi all, this section is quite gaunt, so I'll post my experience on unlocking and rooting my brand...
forum.xda-developers.com
So save you some clicking, I'll just paste the relevant part below:
How to root
0. You need "debug usb" and "oem unlock" enabled under "developer options" on phone's settings.
1. First, if you don't have already done it, unlock phone's bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
ATTENTION: THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE, ALL USER DATA WILL BE LOST! And no, when you'll have finish this guide, you can't lock it again (each lock-unlock operation will wipe the device)
2. Download ROM system image from official site. Pay attention to download the corresponding version of your actual OS (look in system settings your current build number).
3. Extract "boot.img" from the just downloaded archive and put somewhere in your device (e.g. in a microSD, just remember where you put it).
4. Download and install Magisk Manager apk.
5. Open Magisk, choosing "yes" when it asks to install Magisk-v*.zip, then choose "patch boot image" and select "boot.img" copied in step 3.
6. At the end of patching process, Magisk will tell you where "patched_boot.img" is been stored, keep a note on it and close.
Now's the updated part, that will make possible to apply OTAs:
7. Copy "patched_boot.img" on your computer, then run this on a terminal:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot
This will temporarily give you root privileges (until next reboot).
8. Magisk Manager can now make the root permanent: open it and tap "Install", then "direct install (recommended)". This way (instead of flashing directly patched_boot.img) Magisk Manager can remove and reinstall root privileges directly.
9. Just to be sure that your phone doesn't install updates without your acknowledgement, go to Developer Options and disable "Automatic system updates".
Ta-dà! Now you should have Magisk permanently installed (you can check it re-opening Magisk Manager).
-------------------------------------------------------
Time to update? Here's how
If you've followed what is written above, applying an OTA should be quite easy now.
a. Go to Magisk Manager → Uninstall → Restore Images. Do not reboot now or you will have Magisk uninstalled!
b. Now go to Settings → System → System Update and apply OTA. If it fails you've some tweak on system partition that you've forgot to remove, so try to figure it out and retry. Wait for the installation to complete. DO NOT RESTART NOW.
c. Open Magisk Manager again and press Install → Install to Inactive Slot.
d. Reboot and enjoy
-----------------------
PLEASE ADVISE IF THIS WORKS!

As the guy clearly mentioned, there's a boot.img and a debug_boot.img whenever i try to patch any of that and use fastboot to flash it I only get a bootloop
The bootloader is already unlocked and there's nothing else I can do to get this phone rooted
There's also no twrp currently supported for.it and that's pretty much it
I just needed help with this but it seems like this phone is very unknown and unsupported

Have you explicitly tried
fastboot BOOT patched_boot.img
just BOOTING the patched boot image. just ignoring the the flash command for now.
This shouldn't cause a bootloop since it'll just revert back to the virgin boot.img
TWRP isn't needed for rooting.

Thank you for sharing this , I will try it later today and let you know what happens.

Bootloop

Finally, I successfully rooted! Procedure is the same as in the post 7, but before flashing patched boot you should flash empty vbmeta image:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_null.img
and then:
fastboot flash boot boot_magisk_patched_root.img
and reboot to system:
fastboot reboot
I attached empty vbmeta and patched boot.

Installing a GSI to Doogee S88

I own a Doogee s88 pro. I have installed twrp as a recovery using an unofficial method. I have also rooted the device using OEM key.
However, I am having an issue flashing a gsi to it. Through twrp it states that the "image is larger than the target device"
I have used the universal tool for making my system / super files rewritable as I initially couldn't mount them in twrp.
If I use fastboot I have to remove twrp because fastboot flash system system.img requires to be loaded into fastbootd via fastboot reboot fastboot.
However when I do that it does not work. How do I go about flashing a gsi now that I've gotten this far?
Steps taken:
1. Stock firmware Via sp tool
2. Flash magisk patched img (obtain root)
3. Flash twrp to recovery
4. Use the universal tool to change super partitions to rewritable
5. Mount system, attempt gsi install via twrp (fails)
Just want to get rid of the damn stock ROM and it's spyware.

Hi. You can write what you trwp flash to doggee?

Question Proper Rooting for OnePlus 9?

Would anyone be able to direct me or send me the proper information on how to root my OnePlus 9 global LE2115? Because their are to many threads and Im getting confused

You can either use boot.img or you can boot into twrp and flash magisk.apk. 2 options for A11

I have issues rooting LE2115_11_C.44 (Lastest update android 12)
I try patched with Magisk:
fastboot boot boot.img
and that's ok, device is rooted, but when reboot my device don't keep root, so I try:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
and device go into loop in bootloader then I rolled back flashing stock boot.img
I tried install TWRP from https://dl.twrp.me/lemonadep/ using
fastboot boot twrp.img
The TWRP logo appear and next show "Qualcomm crush dump mode"
I need help

A12 root method is different. Not like A11 where you flash the patched boot.img,it won't work. VBmeta and a vendor.img is used also. Also, TWRP is for A11. If you want root,Use the tool here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...xyysds-root-toolbox-coloros-oxygenos.4341167/
Use option 5 and then 6 and reboot. Magisk will be installed. Click the magisk app and update it.

First,
Find the boot.img of your firmware
Patch it using magisk app
Find a patched vbmeta of your phone's version
Move those to your pc and into the folder where fastboot is found
Reboot to fastboot mode and connect it to your pc
Type fastboot devices to check if it is connected
Type fastboot flash boot nameoffile.img(the boot file name)
Type fastboot flash vbmeta nameoffile.img(the vbmeta file name)
Restart the phone either manually or using fastboot reboot

you should also put this command to avoid bootloop or any problem with booting your phone
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta nameoffile.img(vbmeta file name)

The easiest method is by downloading magisk latest apk from the github and rename it to Magisk.zip and flash it with your custom recovery
