You didn't have to request a bootloader code like we did with McLaren and wait 7 days ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Logan0829:
Not with factory unlocked. Only carrier do you have to wait.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] DanneSwe:
No, worked right away. My first Oneplus so I didn't know what to expect either. :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
yup with phones bought simfree you dont need unlock code for OP
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nosferatu.:
So no TWRP if you root and say something messes up (substratum theme) or the like how are you flashing a substratum restore (which wipes the themes) or flash something else? Are you stuck having to MDM the device completely back to stock and then re-root again?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Logan0829:
Reflash unpatched boot.img I believe.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] LeoLopezDO:
stupid question. After unlock, root...where do I get magisk from to install it?

thanks

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases

This is the only official source for Magisk.

You will need to download Magisk Manager
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] CoinsClassic:
I would also really like to know, if there are additional downsides of rooting on Oneplus 8 Pro. Does the camera keep its full capabilities and full functionality? Can the screen still be set to QHD+ and 120Hz?

I already got in mind that Widevine will lower to L3.

Also, my most important question, after rooting the device and with Magisk installed -> would one be able to relock the bootloader and have still root completely working, or even relock bootloader and unroot to go to factory setting (as if I never rooted the device)?

Thank you! :)

Anyone else having issues with the System UI freezing, reboots and wifi not enabling?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Poloasis:
Are you rooted?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] grodri19721:
Ok rooted my OnePlus 8 pro but I'm failed Cts profile

Plus can't get Adaway to work any ideas guy's
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Clear storage from Google play services , Playstore, magisk manager ..

And retry...

Adaway 4.3.3?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] LeoLopezDO:
Hi guys

another silly question.

I unlocked, got root/installed magisk. All good there.

unfortunately, google Pay now doesn't let me authorize my credit cards to be used because the device is "rooted or altered in some other way."

I don't remember this being an issue with my oneplus 7 pro. Is there a workaround for this or have I lost my ability to "tap to pay"?

thanks
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] grodri19721:
Thank you got it working
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flapjack:
Check your build version. I'm getting the wifi thing, also. Too tired to mess with it, and need to go to sleep. My guess is that the patched boot for global (10.5.4) is causing the issues. I didn't update my phone before I unlocked and flashed the patched boot. I just now looked and I'm on build 10.5.1. Pretty sure that's what it is.

I'll fix it in the morning.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] FSOP:
My bad, i downloaded everything i needed before i got the phone, totally forgot about the initial OTA and flashed the old boot img.

Flashed the right one, now everything is working perfectly. Thanks all :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flapjack:
Where did you find the "right" one? All I see is the 10.5.4 one. I would like to find 10.5.1 global, flash it, then update the phone and flash the original 10.5.4 patched boot.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ippolito1971:
Use magisk hide in magisk menu and hide it from Google pay.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fentadroid:
Why not this great magisk module?

https://github.com/stylemessiah/GPay-SQLite-Fix/releases/tag/v2.2

Original post:

or at least on a terminal the manual way:

su

chmod 777 /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/dg.db

sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/dg.db "update main set c='0' where a like '%attest%';"

chmod 444 /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/dg.db

The module works on a Pixel 3a, should work on every Android 10 phone.

It requires SQLite Magisk module.

Might be a stupid question, but is the Global version for the US version?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] t-mizzle:
It's been a while since I've done this. I have updated via OTA, unlocked the bootloader in developer settings. Is there a step by step guide? On Oneplus does power+volume down enter recovery?

US is global, IN2025
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] t-mizzle:
What am I doing wrong? Now my screenshot isn't even showing up...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] t-mizzle:
Anyone?

I googled the problem (it'sn the attached screenshot in the post above), didn't find a solution.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Poloasis:
It does not seems your on fastboot mode. Enable advance restart in Developper and reboot to bootloader, this will give you access to fastboot. Plug phone in PC and run fastboot devices, if you see your device come, flash away. Also your bootloader must be unlocked as good measure.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] t-mizzle:
Thank you. I already have the extended restart menu enabled.

So as soon as I unboxed the phone, I downloaded the OTA update, enabled developer settings, enabled bootloader unlock, USB debugging and downloaded the global patched boot image, I am in the US, IN2025. You can see in the screenshot that fastboot works because it lists the serial number of the phone. I used the threadstarter's toolkit to verify, my bootloader is unlocked, via the toolkit I can switch between adb, normal and bootloader mode just fine.

I'm running adb as admin, everything is fine up until the point I attempt to flash the patched boot image, that's when I get the permission denied error. I run adb as admin, full control over files and folders but still get that permission denied error. When I try to flash the patched image through the advanced options in the thread starter's toolkit, nothing happens when I click the flash button. I went back into the phone and disabled the pin and fingerprint options but still get an error...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Poloasis:
Did you run fastboot oem unlock in fastboot mode after ticking OEM unlock?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] t-mizzle:
Yes, can only run it in fastboot mode, otherwise adb says waiting for the device.

I'm attaching a screenshot showing what happens.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] t-mizzle:
I'm tired, need to go to bed, pick up tomorrow see how it goes. I relocked and and wiped the phone, ready to start fresh tomorrow. Please feel free to post any ideas.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Have you placed the patched boot IMG on the same directory as ADB & fastboot on your PC..?..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] t-mizzle:
Yes, same directory as adb. It only gives me the permission denied error when I point it to the correct directory, otherwise it says file not found.

I am reading Google results for this problem and studying some older xda threads that had this problem but I am not finding a solution...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
You're doing

Fastboot flash boot patched boot img

And you're getting permission Denied?

Did you try ?

Fastboot boot patched boot img
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] t-mizzle:
Yes, still getting the permission error, just like in the screensshot from the previous page.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
maybe something went wrong with the unlock.

try going back to stock locked bootloader and do the oem unlock again
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] t-mizzle:
I tried that earlier, wiped all the cache and relocked the bootloader but still the same issue. How can I do a complete fresh start? When I try to flash the stock image, still getting the same permission error. I simply can't figure out what I did wrong as I trace back my steps through this. I am certain there is a persistent error, I need to go back completely to factory state but I cannot get there with this error. At this point I need to get the phone to the same state phone was in before I unboxed it but I do not know how to get there
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
Try the unbrick tool
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Can you please make a photo from the fastboot directory on your pc
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] t-mizzle:
I attached a screenshot from the directory. I am trying to get the unbricktool but it is password protected...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
password should be oneplus

all instructions are in the thread
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Can you please rename the patched_boot.img to

patched_boot

So without the .img at the end..?..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] t-mizzle:
I have used the unbrick tool and fully returned the phone to the state it was in before I opened it. Went through the entire process again, all was fine until the last step, I still get the permission error...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] t-mizzle:
Still the same, see the attachment:
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Have you rename it on pc?..

After type

Fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
you are doing it wrong

do this:

open up command prompt as admin

type in cd c:\adb (i assume that is the folder you have got the fastboot and patched image)

then type fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img (after renaming to .img)

if same issue move the folder with fastboot and img to your documents for example and CD to your documents folder and try from there.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Yes..

Exactly..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] c00LhaNd:
Edit: After patching the boot.img by my self it works fine. :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] t-mizzle:
Thank you for the suggestion, at least it's a different kind of problem now. As you can see in this new screenshot, the patched image is in the folder but for some reason, adb says otherwise, "no such file or directory" yet
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
are you sure you got a elevated command prompt?

you need a elevated prompt if you doing things inside c: drive directly.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flapjack:
You should not need an elevated command prompt.

If you are running the command correctly and it's saying the file is "not found", you probably have antivirus blocking it.

You might want to try this guide on using procmon to see if anything is accessing the file:

https://community.perforce.com/s/article/3035
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
I dont have issues. :) Elevated wont hurt.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fentadroid:
Check if the file has a dobule hidden extension. Try to write "patched" and then press tab to autocomplete the file name.

Always enable windows file explorer to show extension for known file type......(open control panel and then File Explorer Option).
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flapjack:
Lol. Replied to the wrong one. :silly:
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] JetzNicht:
Can someone please check if this app works ? I want to root my 8 Pro, but i need this app to work. So any help would be really appreciated.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.starfinanz.mobile.android.pushtan&hl=de

Either it starts normally and display some sort of privacy agreement or crashes immediately after launch.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
if it requires no root then you can add the app to Magisk Hide
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] JetzNicht:
Thanks for the info. In the past it sometimes worked with Magisk Hide, but not every time. That´s why I´m asking.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flapjack:
Has anyone had any issues restoring a TWRP backup? I've tried several times (copying and re-copying the TiBu store), but it seems to hang on either the first couple of items (usually the first it tries).

Setting all this up again is going to be a real pita if I can't get TiBu to work. I haven't tried the OnePlus tool for switching phones, but kind of assumed it wasn't going to do application data.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] efex:
Backups restored just fine here. Used TiBu to backup all apps on my old 6T and restored here without issues. Sounds like your backups got corrupted, that happened to me on my old device sometimes without any apperent reason.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flapjack:
So should I just delete them directly from my old phone, then redo them?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
I gave up on Titanium Backup after it stopped restoring SMS after Android 9.

Now I use Swift Backup
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Guitarfreak26:
Can anyone with the EU model backup the persist IMG for me? It's not in the fastboot rom and doesn't get flashed with msm.

My fingerprint isn't working till I get it lol
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] efex:
That's what I'd do, delete the TiBu folder, then backup all again. :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
By reinstalling the full zip of your ROM , you shouldn't restore it?..

Not the fastboot rom, the official..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Guitarfreak26:
I tried a flash in MSM but it didn't work. I don't think the persist partion gets flashed
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Reflash your ROM through local upgrade...

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Guitarfreak26:
Still the same. Looks like I definitely need a persist image
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
How you've been on this situation?..

What you've been done..?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Guitarfreak26:
No idea. It happened after flashing the stock boot img and then factory reset

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

Worked fine until the reset then I've had this since
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
I don't have the device unfortunately...

So I can't help you..

I was rooted with 10.54, upgraded to 10.5.5 IN11AA, even I didn't reboot and reinstall magisk boot patch from Magisk manager, I still lost root. So will we have to wait for another fastboot 10.5.5 patch ROM?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Gordietm:
I just upgraded and installed magisk to the inactive slot before rebooting. And no problem. Rebooted with root.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
Do you need magisk canary to keep magisk when upgrading OTA?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] pyry666:
Same here. No issues but I have 10.5.5in11BA
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Poloasis:
You installed magisk to the inactive slot via fastboot or in the Magisk manager?

Can you tell the steps?

Tx bud.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xgerryx:
Can someone please upload a 10.5.5 patched boot image? And I guess a regular boot image as well. Until I get that my phone is useless.

This guide only works for certain OS versions and that should be stated in the OP.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flapjack:
Trying it now. Been using Titanium Backup for centuries, but in light of the issues I'm having now, I'm willing to try something new.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] AsturzioAugias:
I've tried to upgrade to the latest version of oxygen os (10.5.5), but unfortunately the latest patched boot.img avalilable cause loss of wifi/data, so I can't patch the actual boot.img on the phone. So now I have the phone working properly, but with no possibility to root it.

Can someone upload the latest patched boot.img?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
you dont need to flash any img to keep root.

when you get OTA you install it and then DONT reboot.

just go to Magisk manager and press install and then to inactive slot and then reboot
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] AsturzioAugias:
What I did was:

-Unlock phone (so op8pro is unrooted)

-Update to latest version (10.5.5), still unrooted

-fastboot boot patched boot.img (10.5.4 version)

-After I reboot I don't have wifi/data working, so magisk cannot download and patch the current boot image

Is there any way to patch boot.img using magisk.zip from the internal memory?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Poloasis:
Sounds like you flashed the wrong boot.img version, you're on 10.5.5 not 105.4 anymore.

You will have to wait for a 10.5.5 patch boot img.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] AsturzioAugias:
Luckily I did fastboot boot and not "fastboot flash", so now I have a working phone, just without root.

I'm too lazy to fastboot the previous rom verision (and I have a perfectly working op7pro) so I'll just wait the patched version of my boot.img :D
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xgerryx:
Can someone pull their 10.5.5 system/ boot image/ patched image? I am screwed until that happens at this point as I have no way to flash a whole ROM. Every single method on these forums is not working for me, including the rescue tool since I can't get into EDL mode.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Panzer87:
i've been using titanium backup on 10 without issues. in order for titanium to restore sms, you have to go into default apps and switch from sms app to titanium add on. Then restore sms messages via titanium. after it restores backup, go back in to default apps and switch back to your sms app. works for me everytime on android 10. it's just one extra step. i love titanium backup.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xgerryx:
Thanks for posting that. I flashed that and still no luck. Wifi won't turn on. No freaking idea what to do now.

UI is unresponsive and it just reboots over and over.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Factory reset
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xgerryx:
I was able to get to that setting barely before the phone died again. No change. Wifi doesn't work. Stays at "turning on" and then just doesn't.

How can I flash an entire ROM without TWRP? The key combo nor the ADB command work for getting into EDL mode so I can't restore that way. How can I flash a ROM? Every single thing I'm trying has its own set of problems. Is this thing dead until someone figures out TWRP?

Can I flash a ROM through Magisk? Local upgrade failed.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Flash the fastboot rom 10.5.4
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xgerryx:
How do I do that? I see methods all of which I cant do. The flash all.bat thing people talk about...where do you get that? Local upgrade failed. How can I flash a ROM over my current one without TWRP?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/fastbootroms/files/OnePlus 8 Pro/

Download the ROM on your pc( I don't know if you have Europe or global )

Unpack the zip

Boot your phone on fastboot mode

Connect on the pc

On pc where you've unpacked the ROM zip you will see the flash all bat option ..

Double click on it .and installing process will start..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xgerryx:
Ok thank you. I did not see that the flash all command was baked into this exact file. I thought it was a file that you dragged into Platform-tools like other things. That makes more sense now. So to restore you need that exact file for 10.5.4. Seems like most of the items that were flashed in the bat file failed though but maybe they weren't needed. Seems to have worked after booting up. Wifi works.

I'm assuming that once an update is more common that we will have a way to update to 10.5.5 with a new patched boot image.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Poloasis:
I would say wait for 10.5.5 patch boot image, or you can try the Magisk retention method.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Poloasis:
Hey guys I'm in a pretty pickle here. I try to fastboot 10.5.4 fastboot rom I get this when I run flash-all.bat. can someone walk me through on how I can go back to 10.5.4 on the GLobal version of the OP8P?

Or is it possible to goack to 10.5.4 from 10.5.5?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
look at the unbrick tool in other thread that should get you back to 1.5.3/4
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xgerryx:
Just let it go through the whole thing. Mine did the same, had all those errors in it but it ended up working in the end.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Poloasis:
I did, when it rebooted I was still on 10.5.5 not 10.54, still no wifi and voice calls goes to vm, but it is still registered with T-Mobile and number still appears with IMEI etc.

Any ideas why?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ErriK89:
is there already available the rooted boot image for 10.5.5BA (europe)?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Poloasis:
I use the MSM tool to go back to 10.5.4, I am all set. Tx for the help guys. Thank god for XDA...lol
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flapjack:
Titanium flat out would not work for me. Swift did the trick (mostly). The only issue is that my text app (Google Messages) seems to only have texts up until March 2nd, which is pretty bizarre. Obviously, I haven't opened every app yet. I've grown accustomed to needing to clear storage on a bunch. I guess for Messages, I'll try and remove/restore it with TiBu. Maybe I'll get lucky...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ErriK89:
Hi all, I successfully patched 10.5.5BA (europe) boot.img and rooted my op8pro. It works without wifi and call issues

Here following patched boot img and stock boot img

patched: https://easyupload.io/6d7b27

stock: https://easyupload.io/tp2v1m
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] t-mizzle:
Hey guys I am back :D

So I got ready for a long night. Phone OTA 10.5.5 installed, downloaded the patched image and made a big pot of coffee. And I was done in 30 secs, see attachment. I think something was wrong with my adb install so I redid it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fentadroid:
Can you explain that and someone maybe can update the OP?

- Install the OTA normally

- Don't reboot

- Open Magisk and install it to inactive slot

- Reboot

Is that right?

You don't need to install it FIRST with direct install and THEN to inactive slot, but only to inactive slot and then reboot. Right?

On another web site that is what i read, but don't know if it's correct:

Before all Disable all magisk modules
Be sure to use Canary Magisk Manager and Canary Magisk (debug)
You can update a stock rom from phone settings with local upgrade:
- Update the Rom WITHOUT REBOOT;
- Open Magisk Manager;
- In Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Direct Install;
- Again in Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Inactive Slot;
- Reboot.
