[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
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 without obtaining one yourself

Please read the process before committing to proceeding, so you know what's required and what you should and shouldn't use!

Stock and patched images are UK/ EU but the guides are universal and could be used on multiple devices.

:)

NOTE:

For these guides the versions used are:

Stable, Canary or BETA depending on firmware, simply change the channel in Magisk settings then select install / update:

Extracting a boot.img using Payload dumper

Pre-requisites

A device with a working version of magisk manager installed, simply change the channel to the version outlined in the list above relevant to your firmware then select install / update:

A Windows 10 computer / laptop

A full update downloaded firmware zip for your model (recommend oxygen updater)

Payload dumper program for Windows.

Process

On your computer

1. Download and copy the PAYLOAD DUMPER folder to your desktop, there will be one folder with 2 files and 2 folders inside.

Download from here: https://mega.nz/folder/vU00FZDa#PIEfjl5w5wonyNAwHW3FBQ

2. Download the firmware of your choice and open it using Winrar or a similar zip program, extract the file called payload.bin to the folder within the payload folder called payload_input.

3. Run the program payload_dumper.exe, a Command prompt will open to show extraction progress (this will extract a bunch of files to the payload_output folder) allow it to completely finish (the CMD window will close automatically)

4. One of the files will be called boot.img, this is the file we'll be patching, copy this to your phone, root of storage which is called /sdcard.

On your phone

5. Open up Magisk and click Install / Update, if you don't see update then change channel, so this by changing the channel in magisk settings, it'll then show the install/ update buttons.

6. Select "Select and Patch a file" it'll open up a file browser, navigate to the boot.img you copied earlier and select it, allow it to complete (this will output a file called "magisk_patched" (which will be in the Downloads folder)

You now have a patched boot.img ready to flash to either slot with fastboot or boot via fastboot, would recommend booting as this is risk free, if it's a bad image for whatever reason and you choose to flash then your phone may bootloop.

NOTE** Some people have noticed that an already patched boot.img when flashed can fail and cause a boot loop when flashed,so if you have downloaded a magisk_patched img from somewhere else then you WILL need to re-patch it on your own device preferably using the afore mentioned magisk manager based on what firmware it's from.

If you intend to follow the guide below with your own patched img then you shouldn't need to patch twice but it won't hurt if you do.

;)

2nd

Upgrading from rooted Android 10 to rooted Android 11

Pre-requisites

A rooted device running Android 10

Canary magisk manager or beta version that works:

Windows 10 computer / laptop

Process

On your phone

1. Disable all Magisk mods

2. Download the Android 11 firmware using Oxygen updater DO NOT INSTALL AUTOMATICALLY, WE NEED TO INSTALL MANUALLY!!!

3. Once downloaded; open settings / system / system updates

4. Click the settings cog and click 'install from local storage'

5. Locate the firmware you downloaded, it's in the root of storage.

6. Click install and allow it to finish, DO NOT CLICK THE REBOOT BUTTON YET!

7. Open Magisk. manager and click "Install / Update"

8. Click "Install to Inactive slot (After OTA) (Once complete, click reboot)

As this is a new base the first boot may take a little longer.

Your phone will now boot with Android 11.0.0 and will have retained root, all your apps will remain as you left them.

Be careful what mods you re-enable as they may not be 11 compatible.

;)

3rd

Update from 11 stable to 11+ stable whilst retaining root

Guide

1. Download the relevant firmware for your device via oxygen updater

2. Open Magisk and remove all the modules you have installed, then reboot

**NOTE- At this point I tend to copy out the whole firmware to my computer, incase I need it in the future, the boot img and patched boot img are at the foot of this guide, I'll always upload the latest firmware as soon as it comes out for the UK/EU model

3. Open up settings / system / system updates , click the cog and select "Local Upgrade" the file should be listed on screen, if not then move the file to the root of your phones storage.

4. Click install and allow it to go through the process

**NOTE- DO NOT REBOOT AT THIS POINT YOU WILL LOSE THE ABILITY TO PATCH ON THE FLY, SIMPLY BACK OUT OF THE SCREEN WHICH SAYS "INSTALLATION COMPLETED. RESTART TO EXPERIENCE NEW FEATURES"

5. Open up magisk and click install (you may see two install buttons, top one is magisk and the bottom is magisk manager, we need the top one)

6. You'll be faced with a screen that has several options, you want to select "Install to Inactive slot (After OTA)" then select "LET'S GO" once complete click reboot.

7. Once your phones booted back up your system / files should all remain as they were and you should have root access.

You can now install all your modules again so long as they're compatible with the firmware you've just updated to.

4th

Rooting using fastboot commands

Method 1

Booting the patched image

1. Obtain a patched boot image for your device variant preferably using payload dumper or download one of mine from the foot of this guide or if you've just performed the above guide you should already have a functional one, copy this file to your fastboot folder on your computer

**NOTE - The above suggested downloads are for the EU / UK variant- if you have another model / firmware please use that instead, If you did not obtain the boot.img from a firmware and patch it yourself, you will need to patch it again in magisk manager to avoid a bootloop, if you still get a bootloop it's best to obtain one yourself using the guide at the top of this post.

2. Reboot your phone to fastboot

and connect to your computer.

3. Boot the magisk patched img

fastboot boot magisk_patched (or name of your patched boot img)

Your phone should now boot automatically, you should now be rooted but we need to make this permanent, if you were to reboot you would lose root.

4. Open magisk manager and click install/update, if you are missing the install/ update buttons, change magisk version to beta in magisk settings and install the update, the buttons should then show.

5. Select Direct install (recommended) then click ok.

6. Allow magisk to permanently root your device then click reboot.

You should now boot and remain rooted.

Method 2

Flashing to both slots

1. Obtain a patched boot img for your device variant or download one of mine from the foot of this guide or if you've just performed the above guide you should already have a functional one, copy this file to your fastboot folder on your computer

**NOTE - Again the above suggested downloads are for the EU/ UK variant- if you have another model / firmware please use that instead, if you did not obtain the boot.img from a firmware and patch it yourself, you will need to patch it again in magisk manager, to avoid a bootloop

2. Reboot your phone to fastboot and connect to your computer.

Command: adb reboot bootloader

3. Open a command prompt on your computer and navigate to your ADB/fastboot folder.

4. Type the following.

fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched

Press enter.

fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched

Press enter

fastboot reboot

Press enter

6. Your phone should now boot, open magisk and verify you're rooted.

Troubleshooting

If flashing succeeds but you don't have root and you've followed all the instructions, you may have some magisk modules still active, try performing the following.

1. Connect your phone to your computer.

2. Reboot the phone, then during the boot animation enter this command via ADB.

adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules

3. Allow to boot, modules will be removed and root should then be active.

Thanks @nycdiplomat for this tip.

If there is no magisk install / update buttons.

1. Make sure you have granted permission to magisk in settings / apps / magisk / permissions

2. Make sure that the update channel is on canary, then force close magisk and then re-open

3. If it still doesn't work then update magisk using canary

4. Last method to check would be to change to the beta channel in magisk settings, then install it.

Or change the update channel, install the version on offer, then change back to canary, install and you should be good to go.

Window's version

Windows 7 will not work with fastboot, please use Windows 10

USB

Use USB 2.0 not 3.0 or 3.1

ADB

These are the files i use for ADB (1st in the below list) tested these on fresh installs of windows on several windows machines, all win 10

Place them into the root of C so it reads C:\ADB much easier to navigate to that way.
