I have successfully rooted a Midnight Black Oneplus 6 using the posted method. Thank you.

I got a silk white Oneplus 6 today (for the wife), and I tried to boot from fastboot using the modified boot. After issue the command

fastboot boot patched_boot_magisk1642.img

, the phone boot into recovery instead of Android. Is anyone else getting the same issue?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fen-X:
Sorry for the late reponse. I ve just back from work.

On my side. I launch sd maid and list all apps (system and user). I freeze chrome aand webview is activated automatcaly. After that i uninstall chrome cause i use firefox. In playstore i upate webview. No issue after debloqting many asystem apps on my side. I think you can do same with titanium backup. Note that you can t select webview until you freeze or uninstal chrome because chrome uses what webview do. It s more easy for goolge to kepp updating chrome....

I can t confirm until i will receive my phone for titanium backup.

On my side, when i went in developper options there are chrome and webview. Webview was greyed and can t chosse it because chrome is automatically activated. I ve read an article saying that we have to freeze or uninstall chrome to have possibility to choose webview. As i said, i ve uninstalled chrome and in dev options webview was activated. As long as we don t update or install chrome, webview will stick.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flying Fox:
Exactly. Although I honestly do not know the advantage of the Android system webview versus chrome. Although I have googled and read a little, but found no adequate answer, only general information.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fen-X:
I m agee with you. Don t know what s the difference exactly but as i don t like the google apps and prefer apps like firefox, pikture, nine etc... I ve decided to use webview (important for system fonctionality like internet etc...) as i always did in the past and since it s suffisant i don t see why i have to use chrome today. Maybe it s a simple way for google to force users to use their apps.

However, my knowlege is limited and maybe i make a mistake.;)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] magnamentis:
it works for me but then there are so many different setups, twrp variants and install procedures with various sideffects that you' have to try out.

keep in mind that if restore won't be successful it will have no effect and you'll stay on the pre-restore state.

further you'd have to delete all 999 folders should you ever have opened the parallel apps feature in settings.

but again, if it fails it would produce a 255 error and you can boot into system to delete them or do it from within twrp.

the answer to your question would be yes with buts and ifs ;)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] schilfrohr1:
So what is the benefit from changing hibernating chrome and changing to android system web viewer? It´s to get rid of google apps, ok, but it can´t be for web security. Is web viewer more resource saving, less power consuming, does it make the system faster, more than chrome. i also hibernate or deinstallate many of apps, debloat my system to as small as possible without losing functionality to finally get more out of it - the reason, why I never would have decided for a samsung device e.g., or lg´s, which are really smart phones escept totally overbloated. So exactly my question to this point. Does deinstallation chrome more leed to advantage or maybe to issues in future... to be informed about it would be really great. Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] JRevenge:
Good evening,

Can I speak privately with the creator of this mod? It's important.

Thank you
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fen-X:
As i said previously, i don t know really what s the advantages or inconvenients. For my part i uninstalled chrome and use webview for one reason only. Having 2 web browsers on my phone is a psychologic inconvenient for me (i know...i m very strange lol).i don t like to have two apps doing the same thing on my phone. For example i use firefox instead of chrome or uc browser. Firefox is certainly less speed than the 2 others but i prefer to save my private life than the speed. In this case i have to uninstall chrome. In the past i read that webview is very important on the phone (don t remember the exact reason). Today a new thing happened. Chrome integrates a fonctionality that replace webview. In my situation and my needs, i ve uninstalled chrome for webview.

Sorry to not bring good precisions. Hope you will find something good to share with me/us because i think it s an interesting thing to know.

Concerning an eventual issue, all i can say is at this point, i had no issue. In the future i can't say anything but if this happen, you know, all of us here on xda know we can start a fresh install (full wipe, flash rom, etc...)kepping chrome if we are forced.;)

---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 AM ----------

I m very curious...have you find something which can be shared with the hole op6 community or is it for a personal reason only.

Otherwise if you don twant to answer, you can pm the author directly by using the private message option on his profil.;)

I have no problems.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dizM0nkey:
I've managed to install Magisk beta 16.4, get root, and install several modules. However, lately, I've tried adding a few new/other modules and when I reboot, they're not installing. I'm really not sure what or why this is. I still have root, Magisk, and modules installed since I received the phone, but something has changed since then.

If anyone has ideas as to how/why this might have happened, I'd appreciate it.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] hallo dare:
Whenever I go in Magisk and into downloads, nothing ever appears. I have to scan XDA to find what I want and download and install that way. Is this normal for everyone else at the minute or is there a fix? TIA

Edit: forgot to run beta. All sorted
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lexiperplexi91:
Hey guys, I got the update notification for 16.4 Beta in Magisk this morning, when I click install I don't have a "Direct Install Method" only boot.img and download .zip only. Any ideas on what is the best way to go to update? I do not have TWRP installed yet (as it said it was buggy when I first got the phone) so not sure where I should go from here.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sheepoo8800:
Replying to my own question, in case anyone else have the same problem.

Following the instructions by OP, I patched a stock boot.img from the Oneplus 6 that I wanted to root. That patched boot.img worked flawlessly.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] czerdrill:
I plan on using this method. Once TWRP is official, would any of this have to be undone?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] S-C:
Can I follow the patch instructions for the boot IMG on 5.1.6 to regain root after the manual upgrade to 5.1.6
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nightfury04:
Hi,

As now the Oxygen 5.1.6 is out. Could anyone pls help and tell that how do I install the update.

I have downloaded the full OTA image using Oxygen Updater.

I am on 5.1.5, rooted using magisk without TWRP.

Thanks in advance
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iElvis:
Just let the update install, then follow the instructions in the official twrp thread. You have to reinstall twrp from fastboot and reflash magisk every time you take an OTA now.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] alirey:
I just updated to 5.1.6 with full OTA and still have root, without TWRP.

1. Restore Image in magisk. Maybe Not needed but wanted to have original status. Do not restart.

2. Install OTA. Will be installed on the inactive slot. Do not restart.

3. Start magisk -- install -- select second slot

Reboot. Done. :)

Btw. SafetyNet Check with this method. Still success
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nightfury04:
Ok gr8.. As I dont want to install any custom rom for now so I don't need twrp...so ur method seems perfect for me..

I will give it a try and confirm whether it worked.

Thanks

---------- Post added at 06:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------

Actually i dont want to install TWRP right now... As no solid custom rom is dere till now..

Thanks anyways... :)

---------- Post added at 06:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 AM ----------

Hey it worked flawlessly.. I am on 5.1.6 now..

Many thanks... :o
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] toyanucci:
Worked for me too!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] bauwoo:
Like others, worked for me too. ?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] alirey:
I am glad that it worked out for you guys.

I think, as long as we do not reset our device while rooted(softbrick),

we are good to go with this twrp less procedure.

Before resetting the device I would strongly recommend to restore the boot image with magisk. needs to be tested...

I must also admit that I am quiet happy with this slot a/b stuff :)

All credits to the Developer and XDA members. Great Community
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kailashnj:
Very Noob question, can you get the OTA updates post this root and also will the root break if you install an OTA.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sobad2009:
5.16 can root by follow this post?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] amithiel:
Just installed the update via local patch. then installed twrp and magisk.

Trying to flash Magisk in TWRP on 5.1.6, isn't working for me... any ideas?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] amulbaby:
Couple of silly questions... just wanted to get clarity before I proceed.

1. Can you please explain your first step?

2. After updating to 5.1.6, is it possible to install official TWRP(now that its available) without worrying about bootloops?

3. For future updates after TWRP installation, would it be required to flash OTA, fastboot -> flash TWRP -> flash Magisk.zip and the reboot?

Thank you
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] alirey:
Yes. Future OTA seems to work.

No. Root will not break if you Patch the OTA slot before you restart

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

Did you Install TWRP. If yes. That's the reason

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

If you are already on 5.1.6, then you need a patched 5.1.6 boot image to start the "external" boot. See first post how to create or wait until OP evtl. creates one

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

The steps discribes an OTA update for a magisk rooted systemless image.

Is you mobile already rooted and on 5.1.5?

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

I think you have first to decide which way you want to go.

Twrp: losing SafetyNet but being able to backup your ROM or

Systemless: booting from a patched boot image and using magisk to patch your boot image in active slot.

OTA zip downloaded but giving me error dont know why
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] k0rvan:
Excuse my ignorance, but with this patched imagine of oos5.1.6 I can follow the first post instructions and have root and magisk on oos 5.1.6 without previously been rooted, right? Thanks for the input.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alex240188:
So just followed the procedure which I stated 2 weeks ago and all went well.

Updated to 5.1.6, still have root and safety net passed
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Etzolin:
That is correct, you can follow the exact same instructions from the first post. Just use the boot image for 5.1.6 from my earlier post instead.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nightfury04:
Yes it won't wipe anything... All ur apps n data will be intact...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] k0rvan:
Thanks Etzolin for the help.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] stanley08:
What EXACTLY do you mean by Restore image in #1? Do you mean uninstall? In the Magisk App?

Please explain number one. Don't want to mess anything up.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] AdrianM:
Inside magisk press on Uninstall. Then choose the restore images option.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] stanley08:
Thanks ALOT for this.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alex240188:
You don't need to do this.

Just install the OTA and then install Magisk to second slot before rebooting

Is it possible to fastboot 5.1.6i mage and install magisk apk to get rooted again with passing SafetyNet Check WITH TWRP INSTALLED:(:(:(:(

If not, wt should I do to pass the SafetyNet Check with magisk installed
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iElvis:
Yes. If you're updated to 5.1.6 and have twrp installed, all you need to do is flash magisk.

Just don't install xposed as it will break safetynet. Just flash magisk in twrp and you're good to go.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] llokk:
With many thanks it works, but another question comes out,

I cant play pkm go now even I magisk hide it

the steps I applied is tick the pkm go box in magisk hide and then reboot, or not

Also I hv tried hide magisk manger too in above 2 situtions

All I hv tried above, and still come the error page in pkm go,( rare percentage it works for a while and suddenly pop up the error page)

Is there anyone comes the same situation?

THANKS ALL GUYS TRYING TO HELP:o

[MENTION=1894196]b1czu[/MENTION] here is another video. This time on how to install OTA on a rooted phone.

[YOUTUBE]OPD-P0Znt5E[/YOUTUBE]
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alex240188:
This video contains unnecessary steps.

Simply install OTA then install Magisk to 2nd slot and reboot.

Why is everyone overcomplicating things?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
You mean just one step of restoring original image? It will be helpful for the next update.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Han-Droid:
I am coming from good old oneplus 2 and I feel like starting from scratch.

I did follow this guide in the OP just a couple of days ago.

Now....I am having 5.1.5. , root with magisk....

what is the FASTEST WAY to update to 5.1.6. (including official TWRP since it wasn't needed/unofficial by the time the OP was created) after having followed the guide for 5.1.5 in the OP ?

Sorry for noobing but I feel a bit lost and don't want to break the op6 or do unnecessary steps just to update to 5.1.6

Thanks in advance!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alex240188:
Why? the phone will download the full rom version anyway so it doesn't matter whether it has the stock boot.img
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] brown1178:
I'm not shure if you already have twrp flashed so this is what I did with stock recovery to update:

1. Download the OTA Update - At least for me it shows that my device is rooted and downloads the full package (1.43GB)

2. Let the Update install

3. Don't reboot now

4. Go to MagiskManager and choose install, install and install to second slot.

Now if you reboot, you boot to your updated and rooted system. If you keep stock recovery, you can anytime boot the twrp.img and do all the funny things like flashing kernels or zip files, take and restore nandroids....

For twrp to flash you need to download twrp.img to your PC and twrp-installer.zip on your phone, then fastboot boot twrp.img to boot your phone to twrp, then install the zip file. If you were rooted before, you have to reboot from twrp to recovery again and flash your root file (e.g. Magisk, SU).
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Han-Droid:
Thanks! What about the patched boot image (see OP)...does that somehow interfere in your steps 1 through 4 ?

What do you mean with ".. and choose install, install and install to second slot..."?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] brown1178:
I assumed that you are already on rooted 5.1.5, no matter how you got there. Since the official TWRP is released and supports the boot command, you propably won't need the method with the patched_boot.img anymore. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The patched_boot.img was necessary, because with only the stock recovery, you aren't able to flash zip files, but you need that to root your device. So a patched (already rooted) boot.img was used to boot a rooted system (you can imagine like booting a PC from a linux liveCD or USB). Once booted you could patch the "installed" boot.img with MagiskManager.

In the MagiskManager app you have the button "install", tap on it and you will see a prompt, tap "install" again and then choose "install to second slot (after OTA)"

Just open the app and have a look.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Han-Droid:
Thank you.

I am currently on 5.15

Magisk rooted

With patched bootimage. Just as in this guide here.

No twrp yet.

Just to clarify ?

Thank you [MENTION=3294422]GizmoFreak[/MENTION] for video but I agree with [MENTION=2551811]Alex240188[/MENTION] that it contains unnecessary steps. If you want it to be linked in OP please make it shorter (best if it just follows OTA steps from OP). Thank you.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] patchmefirm:
I am having the same issue. I had rooted the 5.1.5 week earlier. The root disappeared somewhere between OTA notification and downloading the full OTA. I couldn't patch the OTA without root privileges, so I just installed it.

Now when I'm on 5.1.6 and boot with patched_boot_magisk1642_516.img I have two options, "Direct Install (Recommended)" and "Install to Second Slot (After OTA)". Installing with direct install gives no errors, and after rebooting Magisk says it's not installed, and Root Checker says I have no root.

Root Checker says phone is not rooted after booting with patched_boot_magisk1642_516.img . Shouldn't there be a root after booting with the patched boot?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] brown1178:
If you booted the correct patched_boot.img, shure you should have root access.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] llokk:
But as I flashed to TWRP, I don't know is that mean I have rooted the system?! And then I installed magisk .zip, and then I can past the safetynet check, and can play pkm go , use Bank app,

So is that mean after the next OTA installed, I still just need to flash magisk.zip from TWRP again to restore my root!?

I know that there maybe so many misconceptions in my mind, feel free to correct me?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] brown1178:
Flashing TWRP does not give you root access. Once you flashed TWRP, you can flash Magisk.zip in TWRP to get root access. Magisk doesn't break safetynet, I was always able to play pkm go, and I can use any banking app, even Google Pay is working.

I'm not shure about the process of updating with TWRP right now, so please anyone feel free to correct me.

Since you have TWRP flashed, you will propably need to wait for the full_update.zip to be available, download it and flash it in TWRP, then again flash Magisk.

I'm not shure if a reboot after updating and before flashing Magisk.zip is needed to get the correct slot rooted.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Han-Droid:
As far as I read things, only xposed causes problems with Banking apps and such (Payback Germany, streaming apps etc etc)

Root with magisk only installed as described in this thread should not cause troubles....

Did you use Magisk hide to hide root from PMG?

With banking app I had to hide with Magisk hide then clear the app data of offending app before it would let me connect
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] brown1178:
I have no problems with pkm go, and I didn't activate "hide magisk" for it. For a certain banking app I had to use "magisk hide", but not pkm go.

The file link in [MENTION=1751454]SaiBork[/MENTION]'s post is dead :(

Which leads me to: I now have a soft-bricked OP6 due to installing TWRP 3.2.1 on top of Magisk (I learned too lat that I should have uninstalled magisk first). OS is OxygenOS v5.1.5.

Boot slot A goes into an infinite boot-Spinner, and slot B only boots to TWRP. I happen to have the full OOS 5.1.6 zip on the /sdcard as well as the twrp img/zip's and the patched_boot_magisk1642.img OTG doesn't work. What's the best way to revive the phone without nuking the user data? I've got fastboot working on my PC.
