Flash patched boot img via Magisk, reboot directly into twrp, flash magisk to inactive slot via twrp

Based on the process you describe above, you missed a step : install TWRP Installer ZIP.

Here is the full process:

✌️
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] lloydsw:
Thanks for the replies. I haven't bothered with twrp for a long time since I've never had any luck restoring a backup. What I did has worked for the last six or so updates, without fail. I'm wondering if I can just flash a patched boot image to both slots in fastboot.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] shizat63:
Updated to 10.3.10 - as with prior updates, there was 0 free space, so I used Tomato Debloater 4.1 ZIP

With free space I was able to copy my custom ad blocking hosts over

But now Android is ignoring the HOSTS - wtf
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] OhioYJ:
Are you sure you are using Unix / Linux file endings in your hosts file? Android will ignore it if you have Windows / DOS line endings. I've had that issue before. Just one thing to check.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Habar_nam:
The standard way to update woks just fine:

Download full Image, Boot to twrp, Install Image , Install twrp, Change Slot, Boot to twrp again, Install magisk, reboot

Safety net is passed but try any other app from playstore.

So nothing changed
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] plepew:
What versions of Magisk & TWRP are you using please?

Your updating process is good, but it's a bit long as you're rebooting to TWRP twice. Here is a method that is much faster since you reboot only once 😉
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] shizat63:
Yeah it's the same file as before the update. EOL is linux

My solution was to uninstall Chrome and a few other G apps. Now the system isn't circumventing the HOSTS. Not sure why.

what version of magisk do i install i only find the newest one as a apk and it wont install it
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] pjadec:
These instruction are from magisk github page

Custom Recovery​

It is very difficult to accurately detect the device’s information in custom recovery environments. Due to this reason, installing Magisk through custom recoveries on modern devices is no longer recommended. If you face any issues, please use the Patch Image method as it is guaranteed to work 100% of the time.

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.

Reboot and check whether the Magisk app is installed. If it isn’t installed automatically, manually install the APK.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Habar_nam:
I used version 22.1

Somewhere in the info is stated to rename the APK to zip and install it through twrp.

At least it's working for version 22.1 with twrp-3.5.1_9-0-fajita.img
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] david72262:
You actually don't even need to rename it with the latest TWRP for 6 t. You can flash the APK file.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Habar_nam:
You're right!

Magisk 23 APK can be installed by twrp 3.5.2 as it is. And safety net check works again in app!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] plepew:
This post is to help you and others☺️

You can only get Magisk official APK on his Github page to start off: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk

Second, make sure you able to install APK's from unknown sources.

If you already have Magisk installed, you should be able to update from within the app.

Install APK as you would any other. It may ask for a reboot, if not, enable Magisk Hide if you need it and reboot. (regarding these last steps, I am unsure what you will see for sure. I have been on Magisk since forever and updated within the Magisk Manager.

(This is a Deprecated Install & really not recommended, as mentioned above by pjadec)

If you are using TWRP Fajita, you can rename the .apk extension to .zip and flash it from there like any other .zip file.

If it not installing from the APK, I'm guessing that "install from unknown sources" is not enabled...or there is a conflict with the apk if procured from other than Github.

Hope some of this can help.

Magisk is not OOS specific, so I strongly recommend you visit the Magisk General Support / Discussion forum on XDA, they are the expert forum for Magisk, this forum is really for OOS on 6T.

https://xdaforums.com/t/magisk-general-support-discussion.3432382/page-2289

I realize there is a lot of info there. I suggest you read from the last page going backwards since we are talking about the recent version & the recent full changes that have occurred with Magisk & Manager part. I'm sure someone has had a similar or if not the same issue(s).

If you don't see anything related, I would post & explain in detail what is going on.

If you can't get anywhere there, I would Google it to see if anything comes up specific to your issue.

I hope this can help you & others to get some answers regarding Magisk as I tried to answer your question as best as I can.

Good luck!

No issues during install?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] plepew:
Wow...10.3.11 within weeks of 10.3.10 release...and the official OnePlus support page for the 6T is still on 10.3.9...

Wondering what the “Fixed known issues” are to be honest... higher than normal Battery drain maybe?

Just sharing some info on my battery situation that started 3/4 days after my update to 10.3.10... I notice thatvthe battery was draining more quickly than usual after seeing a dramatic drop in % after some goog Google News read. Web surfing, etc...nothing out of the ordinary tbh.

I think my battery has lost its capacity to charge to a full 3700 mAh...

OP Support is suggesting to factory reset and see if the drain is still happening on OOS 10.3.10.

However, I did use the OnePlus Diagnostic v1.0.0.19, and the Battery Stat does say “73% Serious Loss” and AccuBattery shows 2859mAh after a full charge to 100%, which it says the Health of the battery is @ 77%.

After reading extensively about Li-On batteries, I came across information saying that when these batteries go below 80%...it is recommended to change it, as the battery performance will start to drop more & more rapidly on the capacity to charge.

I'm convinced the battery need changing...as Li-On batteries are based on charging cycles...and I was charging the device every single day overnight and when in the car (everyday) it was plugged in and was using Waze & spotify...

If anyone else out there is having a higher than normal Battery Drain issue, please share here, maybe it's the OOS, or I just kept overcharging for long periods of time (maybe)...

Tks!

That's awesome! Thanks for the link to the iFixit for the battery!! Was looking for a place where I could trust the reviews...

Just curious if you got the adhesive seal in the package you ordered? If not how did you reseal the back cover on?

Also, what do you mean by "getting 10+ hours again with Advanced charge controller stopping charge at 75%" ?

Are you referring to AccuBattery App?

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Gytole:
I GOTCHU FAM!

It only has the battery, my thoughts were "I always keep my phone in a case, so if I can salvage a little adhesive to just hold the phone together, take my time obviously, I don't need to reseal it. If I keep it away from all dirt, debris and water naturally, I should be okay."

So needless to say after replacing the battery and being surprised by how good the phone resealed with the cut stock adhesive I was pretty shocked. But if you want to rebind it with new adhesive I PROMOTE IT. Check amazon? I am not sure what size tape you need.

Also! The battery date was February 8th, 2021, so that made me happier, the old one was 8-27-2018.

I expected an old stock, not only a few months old. To me that's NEW.

TO THE GOOGLE!

Thanks really good to know about the battery date...However iFixit is not directly sold on the Canadian site...I would have to purchase it thru the USA. I still have to hear back from OP Support, they sent me an update last night and they want to factory reset my device to see if the latest 10.3.10 was the issue vs. 10.3.11 which I updated on Sunday...

I'm not sure want to reset...so I may just pull the trigger, buy the battery and dot it...following your lead...(found a complete seal adhesive for the 6T online, Aliexpress and Witzig (I think, have go back ans check).

Just dirty updated for first time since 10.3.6 -

basic steps: Used local-install from updates with the image from the post with 4 links above (thank you!)

- backed out of install when completed, used magisk to reinstall latest app\

- booted into bootloader, went to fastboot.

- used adb to "fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img" then "fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img" (from links)

- Everything seems fine. Some attachments. Battery was great on 10.3.6, no idea how it is now yet - I need a charge first ;).

Edit: Battery life a day later. It's exactly as it was (which was good) on 10.3.6.

I fetched the newest apks for those two "oneplus messages & oneplus gallery" for version 10 and they both installed okay, no more playstore gripes. It took me a few different versions before I realized I was trying to install some from V11. Good luck.

note: If they don't install probably worth trying to convert to user from Titanium Backup if you have it.

magiskpolicy --live 'allow mediaserver mediaserver_tmpfs file { read write execute }' magiskpolicy --live 'allow mediaserver system_file file { execmod }'

magiskpolicy --live 'allow app app_data_file file { execute_no_trans }'

magiskpolicy --live 'allow mtk_hal_audio mtk_hal_audio_tmpfs file { execute }'

which is post-fs-data.sh in the folder on android /data/adb/modules/VIPER4AndroidFX/ - save the original and replace it, I had to use it when I tried 11 on a 7t and it worked there so I just used it here as well.

Good luck. -- There's a screenie of it working in my 6 screenies on my 2nd up post from here.

HI.

I am noob with OP 6T, i come from OP 5T ...

I buy a 6T wich is with 10.3.11 installed.

In order to unlock my phone, simply as with 5T wia fastboot "fastboot oem unlock " and is done?

In order to install TWRP, via fastboot, should i make " fastboot boot twrp image.img" or, as with 5T, "fastboot flash recovery name.img" ? Wich custom recovery should I use? Eng.stk? TWRP 3.4.0-x blu_spark v9.116 or an other?

In order to getting root, with my old OP 5T, i flashed magisk zip into custom recovery and it was done. With OP 6T 10.3.11, should I flash via Fastboot the Magisk_Patch in order to get root acces , or what is the best way to get root??

Thanks in advance !!!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ipdev:
Hi. :)

To unlock the bootloader..

Settings -> About phone

Tap on Build number a few times until Developer option are unlocked.

Settings -> System -> Developer options

Toggle OEM unlocking to on.

This will allow access to fastboot unlock.

Reboot to bootloader and then

fastboot oem unlock

or

fastboot flashing unlock

Follow the prompts on the screen to fining unlocking the bootloader.

---

Since the 6T is an A/B (slot) device, there is no recovery partition.

Recovery is inside the boot image.

To boot and/or install TWRP..

The TWRP image file is a bootable version of recovery.

The TWRP zip installer, is a TWRP flashable zip that will replace the recovery in the current boot image(s) with TWRP.

To temporarily boot into TWRP.

fastboot boot NameOfFile.img

Then to install TWRP, you need to flash the TWRP zip installer.

TWRP-> Install

This will patch both the currently installed boot images, replacing the recovery with TWRP.

I normally just use the official TWRP builds from twrp.me

TWRP for OnePlus 6T (fajita) - WebSite - Link

---

The official install instructions for Magisk.

Magisk Installation - github.io - Link

To install Magisk.

Due to changes in Magisk, Devices, ROMs, Custom recoveries...

The recommended way is to patch the boot image with the magisk app.

Formerly known as MagiskManager

Test boot the magisk patched boot image.

fastboot boot magisk_patched_image.img

Open the Magisk app and check if Magisk is installed and active.

Use the Magisk app to install Magisk.

Magisk-> Install-> Direct install(Recommended)

This will patch the boot image installed in the current/active slot.​

or

Reboot to bootloader and flash the patched image.

fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_image.img

fastboot will default to the current slot.​

You can still still flash Magisk with TWRP but, it is deprecated.

Magisk Installation - Custom Recovery - github.io - Link

Hope it helps more than confuse. 🙃

Cheers. :cowboy:

PS.

Sorry all for some OT. ;)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ben75011:
Thanks you @ipdev for your long explanation, it is very nice from you !

It is a bit different as with my old OP 5T :):)

So , in order to unlock it is normal.

In order to install recovery, flash the current image (I think it is twrp-3.5.2_9-0) with fastboot boot twrp-3.5.2_9-0.img, than install the flashable zip wich is currently the twrp-installer-3.5.2.zip wia recovery? Until now, I am right?:ROFLMAO:

Then, for getting root, I do flash the magisk_patched_image.img i can flash in this post https://xdaforums.com/t/discussion-feedback-oxygenos-10-3-7-ota-for-oneplus-6t.3860953/post-85059303 with fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_image.img, and if I really understand, than install the Magisk apk with the normal way...Or, when I flash the boot magisk patched img, is the Magisk apk directly installed?

Thanks you (y)(y)a lot @ipdev for your explanation. I become my OP 6T tomorrow and I dont like to brike it and go back with my old OP 5T :D:D
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ipdev:
You seem to have it. ;)

You will need to install the Magisk app separately.

Magisk - Releases - GitHub - Link

Magisk - Canary - GitHub - Link

Keep in mind, Magisk and TWRP both live in the boot image.

Some devices have an issue when patched with both.

If the magisk patched image was not patched with TWRP, you will lose TWRP when you flash it.

You would then have boot int TWRP and run the installer zip again..

---

To be safe, make sure to have a restore plan just in case something goes wrong.

My recovery plan(s) include being able to come back from a soft brick.

I have factory and custom roms and recoveries along with backups of critical partitions.​

- Make sure I have every file(s), program(s), driver(s), cable(s), connection(s), ...

Installed, configured and tested just in case I need any of them.​

- Knowing I could still very well HARD brick the device.

Most importantly.. Have fun! :D

Cheers. :cowboy:

looks good, I have been using the below similar method since OOS 10 came out and just updated to 10.3.12 successfully using it too.

1. Disable Automatic system updates in developer options

2. Go to (Magisk Manager → Uninstall → Restore Images) *Do not reboot* This step is required before doing any of the following steps written below!

3. Apply OTAs from (Settings → System → System Update → Install), *do not press* “Restart now” or “Reboot” button!

4. To keep TWRP - Go to Magisk Manager download and install TWRP A/B Retention Script ZIP.

5. Magisk Manager → Install → Install to Inactive Slot and install Magisk to the slot that the OTA just updated to.

6. After installation is done, press the reboot button in Magisk Manager

I had that issue, but not after installing. Instead, I had it after trying to load Magisk to the inactive slot.
