I finally installed TWRP .08.

-prior to booting into fastboot, i set face unlock up and a pin as i did not have a pin set prior. that pin i set works perfect for twrp.

-Booted the .08 twrp image

-set 'use rm -rf'

-backed up all partitions using image options for vendor & system

-flashed TWRP .08 Installer while still booted in TWRP

-flashed Magisk 17.3

-checked to be sure 'use rm -rf instead of formatting was checked

-made another backup just for shiggles.

All seems good.

:highfive:

my only question is if both slot A and slot B both have Magisk since i was in slot_b and didn't see anything in the updater script mention my inactive slot A and magisk although the installer did both from what i discern.

Thank you all for the hard work, tips, and patience in these forums.

Hi [MENTION=4712355]mauronofrio[/MENTION], thanks for the twrp .

Just a question

Now that the new OTA has dropped, if we update through system update & keep root by installing magisk on the inactive slot, our twrp will stick or we have to install it again?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mauronofrio:
Unfortunately you need to install it again
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] refedit:
you can downlad the FULL OTA and put it into root.

Then you enter recovery,

flash the FULL OTA,

flash twrp installer,

reboot into recovery

flash magisk and reboot into system.

Tha's it :good:
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] phillymade:

I flashed the OTA in TWRP, but when I flash the installer right after and then reboot into recovery, it's encrypted. Any solutions?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] refedit:
YOu flashed the FULL OTA, right?

It's normal to be encrypted. Unless you mange do decrypt OP6T like it's possible on OP6.

Did not try it yet like on OP6 method https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/test-decryption-t3818775
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rootmaster96:
How do we flash magisk then if it's encrypted? By adb sideload? And yes, the full OTA
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] refedit:
sorry m8 but maybe I missunderstood.

So you want flash new update and keep root right? Then you just need to follow steps I discribed 3 or 4 posts before

you can downlad the FULL OTA and put it into root.

Then you enter recovery,
flash the FULL OTA,
flash twrp installer,
reboot into recovery
flash magisk and reboot into system.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rootmaster96:
Ok, so I did all this and up until the point of flash magisk, where because TWRP encrypted the files, I flashed magisk via sideload. Now I'm getting continual booting into recovery if I try booting into system
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] refedit:
The steps I described, are supposing you're rooted.

If you followed these steps, so there should be no reason for booting into recovery.

Did you flash magisk?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] cultofluna:
Encrypted?...

Wich installer you're flashing?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] refedit:
I think he means when he enters recovery, so he needs to enter unlock code/swipe to enter recovery.

Check the slot you're in. You're probably booting to slot b
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rootmaster96:
I flashed OTA to slot A and magisk to slot B once I rebooted TWRP and then booted slot A. Is that correct?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] refedit:
So if that happens, then you need to enter temporary twrp(it's the .img) you need to flash via fastboot, then you enter temporary recovery and flash twrp.zip and reboot into twrp.

then flash like I descibed

flash the FULL OTA,
flash twrp installer,
reboot into recovery
flash magisk and reboot into system.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] geminium:
If I understand you correctly you need to activate slot a in TWRP, reboot into it - that's where it's supposed to ask for your encryption password. Then flash magisk. Reboot.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rootmaster96:
Thanks for the responses guys, I just went ahead and flashed the OTA by itself and did a factory reset in stock recovery to boot. I'll just manually root again

Hi,

I just use the app partition backup.

I make a backup of the working boot.img partition as soon as I root.

If I install something that breaks I can use fast boot to flash a working boot image that is compatible.

I won't flash anything other than ElementalX or Magisk until I have a boot image.

So does anyone have a virgin 9.07 boot image - Ignore this. I installed 9.07 in the other slow and extracted a boot image.

Yes, I had a similar issue, where taking the OTA only flashes to other slot.

So I temp booted into TWRP and swapped slots.

Once I rebooted, I took the OTA again.

At that point what I had was

Slot A - 9.07 with ElementalX and Magisk

Slot B - 9.07 virgin install.

I then used PartitionBackup to extract the boot_a and boot_b.

I then flashed the virgin 9.07 boot to both slots.

I temp booted TWRP and installed the twrp zip.

I then installed ElementalX and Magisk.

At all points I got the prompt to enter my pin to decrypt with no issues.

TWRP needs a kernel to work as well, and since ElementalX is a pretty good and stable kernel, it seems like a good choice.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mauronofrio:
The installer will not overwrite your kernel, so the elementalX is only for the image, but yes for now it seems the most stable kernel.

Yes the image shouldn't be flashed in the boot partition, a lot of people is having problems after do it.

Rebooted to recovery, flashed 3.2.3-11, rebooted recovery again to make sure TWRP was updated, made a full backup, got the data cannot be backed up error, made a full backup again without the data, went to reboot to system, got the "device is corrupt message, press power to continue", rebooted, kept getting the same message. Had to flash the OOS 9.0.7 zip again just to get into system. Sadly I forgot to flash TWRP and Magisk after so now I don't have TWRP until I get in front of a PC.

Is anyone else getting the "device is corrupt" message and not being able to boot to system after updating TWRP through TWRP? Also, is there a workaround for not being able to backup the data partition?
