do i have to unlock bootloader for this? i dont wanna loose my files :(
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] FreshlyBaked 420:
Yes bootloader must be unlocked.

Is it possible to relock bootloader after getting root. Will still work?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
Relocking bootloader of a device while its partitions are not stock ones will prevent him from booting Android and will lead to a message about device shouldn't be trusted.

In other words, that will lead to a softbrick.

Only safe way is EDL mode and re flashing with stock firmware using EDL tool
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] shingokuyo:
Hi everyone ! I don't know if it's been asked before but I'd like to know if I can use the "flash Magisk to inactive slot" method for rooting knowing that I'm going to update from OOS 10.5.12.IN11BA to OOS 11.0.1.1.IN11BA ? Can I do it that way or is it safer to manually extract the boot.img and patch it the way I've done it the first time ? Thank you in advance for your replies !

Edit : I finally decided to go with the old fashioned manual patching and flashing the boot.img (which is way safer as you can boot the patched boot image before you flash it) and it works like a charm !

OnePlus 8Pro gets bricked with Qualcomm Dump error While trying to Root

Hello,

i Have tried to follow many different Videos and it shows successful but wont Load TWRP and Magisk shows completed but the phone still does't get rooted.

Anything i do it whipes the memory completely and lands up in the qualcomm crash dump mode and need to use MSM to get it back up.

so far i have tired about 4 times and it just would't get rooted and this is a big nightmare i have had Oneplus 3, 3T, 5, 5T and now 8Pro, i was able to easily about to root the other phones but this 8Pro seems to be testing me

i need some real expert guidance would really appreciate if someone can provide actual working advice
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] shingokuyo:
Hi !

There are two ways to root that device that worked for me so far. One of them is this one and have always worked flawlessly. It needs, as a prerequisite, USB debugging to be toggled on :

- download payload dumper on your computer

- extract the payload.bin from the archive of the rom you're currently on

- put the payload in the folder named payload input

- run the payload application and wait until you see "boot" on the command prompt at least

- go to the payload output folder, copy the boot.img and paste it on your phone sdcard

- open Magisk Manager, press Install > Patch a file with Magisk, and select your boot.img

- copy and paste the patched file (which name, by default, is magisk_patched.img) in a folder of your computer

- press shift and right click in this folder and open a command prompt

- type "adb devices" just to make sure your device is recognized, if it is, type "adb reboot fastboot"

- once you're in fastboot mode, type "fastboot devices" to make sure that your phone is recognized and, if it is, type "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img" (you can skip that step but I don't recommend to do so as it enables you to make sure that your device will boot properly after flashing the patched boot.img)

- if you didn't skip the previous step and it worked, reboot into fastboot mode, make sure that your device is recognized again and then type "fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img"

- wait until flashing is done and then type "fastboot reboot"

You should be rooted properly at this point. Please excuse my English, as it's not my native language, I surely made some mistakes !

Have a good day and don't hesitate to tell me if this method worked for you !

Hello, I followed your guide step by step and I didn't get any error, crash or bootloop, BUT I'm not rooted I don't know why, I'm flashing the patched boot :/

Can you help me??
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] shingokuyo:
That's kinda weird. I mean, I can't figure out how the heck a device running a Magisk patched boot.img could not be rooted. When you open the Magisk Manager app, Magisk appears not to be installed ?

Edit : I updated this morning to OOS 11.0.2.2.IN11BA and rooted using the method I explained but I had a little issue ! The first time I booted magisk_patched.img, it booted properly but Magisk Manager was showing Magisk as uninstalled. After booting the magisk patched image again, all was fine. Then I flashed it on the boot partition and it booted properly rooted. Try to boot the Magisk Patched boot image again, it worked for me so it could possibly work for you too !
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] donaldjani:
can someone provide the links for the tools and softwares to root Oneplus 8Pro with the latest Oxygen 11.0.2.2.IN11DA

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] SPEED_RACER_5.0:
Hey all, Not really sure where to ask this question. Hoping someone here can help or point me in right direction. Verizon OnePlus 8 UW. No root or anything outta the norm. Constantly having intermittent data loss, intermittent hotspot loss, calls and texts as well I'm sure. Since they pushed update couple weeks back. Message I get from there network troubleshooter says (Your phone can't auto switch too a faster network if it's available. Your better off too use Cdma/Lte or global mode for better signal strength) Far as I know Cdma had been reserved for EMT/Fire etc. But can't edit anyway cause no root & Vzw. Problem seems too arise only when the silly 5g icon comes up. So thinking when it tries too switch too 5g its having that intermittent loss (cause no true Vzw 5g here) going back to global mode an getting hung up somehow as a simple restart fixes it temporarily. If I was rooted I believe a prl or apn change would fix it maybe. So tired of dealing with Verizon & there Techs about ready too trash the phone completely
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ProfEngr:
Thank you. I tried patching the boot.img from the OTA zip using the Manager, but it didn't have root using abd boot magisk_patched.img. Your IMG did. I then direct installed Magisk from the Manager and now have root after a reboot.

I may have spoken too soon. Lost root after another reboot. Tried to fastboot boot oneplus-8-pro_15.O.30_boot_patched.img again and think it bootlooped. Trying again.

Edit2: oopsie. Seems I had 2 modules installed that I'd forgotten about. Viper4Android (which isn't 100% happy w/ OOS11) and something else I forgot the name of. I also had to use the Beta Magisk 21.1.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MisMagJr:
I have the exact same problem. I had root before but uninstalled Magisk to fix cellular problem and now I'm stuck without root.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] awdrifter:
The link in the first post ( https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=308380) only has Magisk patched firmware up to 11.5.6 for the OnePlus 8 Pro. My phone has 11.5.12IN11AA firmware (I think tha'ts 11.5.12 Global). Does anyone have a Magisk patched image for the 10.5.12 Global? Please share. Thanks.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MisMagJr:
I finally fixed this problem, I noticed that the patched image I was generating were always 42 mb which is not normal so I did some research and found nothing xD but came across a post having all stock and patched boot img and was tempted to redownload his patched boot img but noticed again that he was using Magisk Canary to build and not the normal Magisk Manager, so retried to patch my boot.img with Magisk Canary and reflashing it and BOOM it worked.

Try creating the img using Magisk Canary, scroll down in the readme.md till you find Magisk Manager Canary and click on it to download the APK.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] awdrifter:
I hope @mauronofrio will eventually update the Magisk patched firmware to the newer versions, the issues like this is exactly why I don't want to patch my own fw as I'm not a developer.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] rashadpowell:
i made a huge mistake. I am using the oneplus 8 pro and used the oxygen updater app to upgrade to OS 11.0.1.1.IN11AA. But i forgot to uninstall magisk modules and install to inactive slot. So now i have lost root, and just reinstalled magisk manager 8.0.3 but magisk installed says "N/A" . Any way to get magisk installed and regain root access?

Hi,

I just got my device today, been sitting for about a hour - 1:30 and for some reason, i am able to adb reboot bootloader but when i enter fastboot oem unlock, it just sits there <waiting for device> I've made sure to install all OP drivers and ADB along with SDK etc, if it would make a difference.

other devices in devices managers shows android but when i am in fastboot it's not coming up as an ADB device? do i need to update the phone first? any replies and help is greatly appreciated

trying with the all in 1 tool and once it boots the device to fastboot, then phone goes missing and not found.

oxygen 10.5.12in11aa, oem setting is ticked and so is usb debugging

decided to try on my wife laptop and it worked within a few mins after installing adb... not sure what is breaking the connection between my phone and PC when the phone is in fastboot??
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] awdrifter:
Does anyone know if I can use the 10.5.6 Magisk Patched fw on 10.5.7 fw? I found an official downgrade zip that will downgrade the phone to 10.5.7, is this close enough to work? Thanks.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] awdrifter:
I just tried patching the fw myself with Magisk Canary but it failed. The magisk_patched.img is the same size as the original. I tried it anyways and Magisk can't successfully install and it fails the safetynet check. I will PayPal you US$5 for any successfully patched 10.5.12IN11AA firmware. PM me.

Edit: The direct install seem to have worked? I used Root Checker it says I have root, but I still fail SafetyNet check.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nandunkz:
anyone can send original build.prop?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Lycidias:
Had the same issue when using canary magisk. I used canary for initial root and then installed the beta. After that safetynet passed
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] awdrifter:
So far the SafetyNet hasn't caused me any issues yet, I'll definitely keep that in mind. I have changed the update channel from Canary to Beta. So on the next Magisk update I'll go back to Beta.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MisMagJr:
Have you enabled Magisk Hide in Magisk settings?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] awdrifter:
So I did the MagiskHide and renaming the Magisk Manager to something else yesterday, I got a Response is Invalid error. But I just checked now, it says Success. So I guess maybe either it took some time to register or a restart did the trick.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I have the IN2025 model which is unlocked. I downloaded the 10.5.5-GLOBAL-magisk_patched.img and boot to fastboot and type the code:

fastboot boot boot.img

It reboots and goes to crashdump mode.

I have drivers and adb installed.

What am I doing wrong?

Wondering if anyone can help me out. i'm trying to root my oneplus 8 pro OS 10.5.12. i have tried multiple methods over the last several days to root but i keep end up in a boot loop. is there a recent tutorial for my specific version? i am very familiar with unlocking and rooting phones. im coming from a oneplus 6 which was much more simple and the tutorials were basically all the same. with the 8 pro i feel like there are so many tutorials and i havent had any luck with any of them.

several times i also ended up with a crash dump screen
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] JW09I4:
Boot TWRP recovery and install the magisk zip, which roots the device.

Unsure why v22's zip is missing - use v21.4
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Lastwurdz:
Even when I tried to flash TWRP it didn't work. The method was different than the 6 but I followed it closely and it still wouldn't take. It's so frustrating. I must have had to unbrick it 5 times by now
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] JW09I4:
Don't flash TWRP, boot it: fastboot boot twrp.img, select Install, and choose the Margisk zip

FYI: unless something's changed in the last two months or so, this will not work on OOS 11, so double check your version (IIRC it has to with Recovery, since [as of ~2mo ago] 3rd party recoveries didn't work and you can't sideload in OOS Recovery
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Lastwurdz:
When I use the fast boot command to boot TWRP it gives me the crash dump screen...... I tried TWRP 3.3.1 maurofronto
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] JW09I4:
Verify you're on OOS 10 and if so, you may need to either restore the factory recovery or restore the factory firmware (try doing so first via settings, else use the tool in the link), as the only thing that needs to be done is to bootloader unlock, boot TWRP or a recovery that allows sideloading, then install the Magisk zip - nothing else is required to root.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Lastwurdz:
so i used the msm tool to restore it back to the original OS and used one of provided patched boot images to root with magisk and that seemed to work. now i just want to know if i'll keep root after i update it and follow the instructions. we'll see. on my 6 it was pretty easy to install to an inactive slot.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Umbardacil:
Hello Gents

Just bought this great device (coming from OP 6)! I'm in love with it, but I miss a lot of things after porting, because I had a lot for example profiles on Tasker using root, or Viper4Android for example... My Q is: is there reliable way to root this awesome phone, when I'm on 11.0.4.4.IN11BA? Phone model is IN2020 if that matters...

Or maybe there's way to get Viper4Android working without root?

I'll grateful for any answer ;)

Cheers!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] FreshlyBaked 420:
There's a way to root the OP8/8P on OS11. Here's a link to a guide. Give it a read. It's a pretty simple process. And if you have any issues the guy that wrote the guide is online pretty often and always up to help someone out. Now keep in mind it's just a guide, I'm not sure what versions or variant of firmware are linked so you may have to download some stuff but the guide in general works. Good luck!

(ROOT) Android 11 / Latest stock and patched img's / payload dumper / magisk_patched guides

Hi all, Have seen a lot of requests for patched boot images on these threads so thought i'd share a guide on how to get it yourself as well as all the files required, plus the patched boot.img if you just want to go ahead and boot/flash it...

tyvm buddy! Much appreciated
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mordantly:
In case you update like me and forgot to install magisk to the inactive slot before rebooting...

Turn off phone

Hold vol down and vol up then hold power

Plug in usb to pc

Run fastboot devices (should list the phone)

Fastboot --set-active=other

Reboot to original rooted slot and then install magisk. Auto Reboot. Easy peasy.

How can i do this on OOS 11.0.6.6 (EU)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonas2802:
I downloaded the 11.0.8.8 file and "made" my own patched boot.img with masgisk, using the guide. But when flashing it with fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img" (or similiar to that). My phone got stuck in a bootloop.

Went back to stock with MSM Tool and did the same again, getting the same result (I did it 3 times but it always ended in a bootloop on 11.0.8.8) :(

Do i have to do the "patch both slots" method or what am I doing wrong?

I#m just wondering because I did it with the "normal" method using fastboot flash patched_boot.img on 11.0.7.7 an i booted successfully, without doing the both slot thing.

Hope you guys know my problem :D

Thanks for answering in advance:D
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] JW09I4:
Often that means the wrong boot image version was flashed - you're 100% positive the boot.img from 11.0.8.8 is the one patched and flashed, as OnePlus hasn't released the 11.0.8.8 OTA file AFAIK?

General FYI: it's recommended to always try booting from a modified boot.img before flashing:

fastboot boot boot.img
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonas2802:
yeah, but I figuered it out.

Either way thanks for answering :D

If you forgot to root prior to booting into the upgrade slot, fastboot and set the other active to root then switch the active slot back to the upgrade.

Hi, sorry if this has been asked. I'm new to this.

My Oneplus 8 Pro build number is OxygenOS 11.0.11.11.IN1AA.

And I cannot find the patched boot for Android 11 (above link), so I have some questions:

1. does it mean that I need to do the step 1?

2. if yes, how can I get the correct boot image?

3. where can I run this command?

fastboot flash boot boot.img

I'm totally new to this, I hope someone can help with this. Thank you,
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nimueh:
2. If you can't find your boot.img then you'll have to use Payload Dumper to extract it from your stock rom. I've never done that before myself so I can't help you there, but I'm sure there's a guide here somewhere.

3. The guide here tells you WHERE to run that command - in your adb window on the PC once you're in Fastboot mode.

I get that you're new and all but PLEASE do some more reading here before attempting something that can potentially brick your device. ADB/fastboot commands are basics that you have to know, so please read all the guides thoroughly before doing anything ;)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] tealtadpole:
Thank you for your reply, and yes, I'm doing a lot of reading now before doing anything. Especially about fastboot. Thanks!

Does anyone have in2025 .f63 patched boot img(US)? I tried patching the one I got from payload dumper, even after running payload dumper on f62, then putting it in old and then dumping payload.bin for f63 Magisk says unsupported image format.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nimueh:
You should never use boot images patched by someone else, there have been reports of that not working out well.

Here is the UNpatched boot.img for the 8Pro_Global_F.63 - XDA wouldn't let me attach it here. 🤷‍♀️

Just patch it in Magisk and fastboot BOOT it - if it doesn't work then nothing's lost and if it DOES work you do a direct install in Magisk :)

You're the best man! I didn't know I shouldn't use other's patched boot images. Thank you so much, I patched it and fastbooted it and it worked! Ty!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nimueh:
One of the admins of the OP 8 group on Telegram tried it with a buddy, patching the same boot.img on the same phone model and OOS version, same Magisk - but the hash checks were different, meaning the files were too. Plus there have been a couple issues when people used someone else's patched image.

I'm glad it all worked out for you. FYI though: I not a man lol :cool:

on my 8Pro(Android 13) after the "flash boot ...img" ...Finished, the phone is stuck in recover mode, when I press "START", it doesn't start in to the normal system, comes back to recovery mode. I have the China version phone and I used the 10.5.6-GLOBAL-magisk-patched. did I pick the wrong version? thanks
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] JW09I4:
I always recommend loading the boot.img into Magisk, patching it, then flashing the resultant image over using a third-party's boot.img; to do so, re-flash the stock boot.img.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] whoisjian:
thanks, I am new to rooting android, just went ahead with the flash process, some questions that I think I should figure out first:

1. my phone is IN2020..., (China version), for the boot image, is it "Global" one?

2. with different versions of boot img files on https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=308380, newest one is 10.5.5, but it is April 2020, so, I am not finding the newest (correct) file?

3. At this point, if I can find the newest stock boot img, I can just flash it on to the phone that the phone should start normally?

4. Then I should install Magisk app on the phone, patch the newest boot img, then use the patched one to flash again with Fastboot? At this point, the phone is rooted?

is my logic correct? thanks
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] JW09I4:
I'm not sure, but I believe so - to know for sure, check out OnePlus' site

I believe it's unwise to flash third party images in general, unless you or a known trusted third-party has verified the image contains no malware and you have an SHA256/SHA512 hash for that image at the specific time this was verified. As to the most recent version available, OnePlus' site is often the most efficient method to find out

The only time a third party boot image may be necessary is if a device wasn't previously rooted and has been updated to a recently released OTA for which OnePlus has not yet updated their site with the full firmware or OTA image. To get an individual image from an OTA, an unpacker program is required and is available on a thread here.

Yup

That's right =]
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] whoisjian:
Thanks for your detailed explanation, it is very useful information. I will try to find the newest boot img, OnePlus site i checked a few times, not easy to find my way around things there, i will give it another try. To understand the process is more important to me at this point, i can mess up the phone and just go to local oppo store and they can flash it back to android 11, hydrogenOS, which i did yesterday, haven’t had the time to play with rooting yet. Have a nice day!
