[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] N3OMOD:
First of all, thank you for the detailed guide and thorough instructions.

I followed the procedure with an IN2023 model (EU IN11BA), recently updated to the Oxygen OS 11.0.1.1.

Everything went fine ad according to plan: Magisk installed and Rooting Confirmed. Everything seemed a success until I noticed a general "slow down" in all aspects of the OS. Even opening the Settings App would cause a considerable delay and sometimes the screen would freeze.

Finally, I noticed that even the WiFi wasn't working as expected: it was impossible to enable (the toggle would quickly go back to the "off" state) and even when it would stay enabled it was unable to detect any network at all.

I am now attempting a stock reset, hoping to succeed in such operation.

For what I've seen, It's hardly advisable to endorse in rooting of this device. And that's truly a shame. This is my first OnePlus, but coming from years of Xiaomi and always reading that "OnePlus was more open to developers" I would expect at least a simple procedure for the rooting.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
That is the absolute first I've heard about that problem..

Are you using lucky patcher, did you use it before?

Have you performed a dirty upgrade from 10-11 I would have assumed that the issue stems from that.

What boot.img did you obtain and from where?

Did you have a ROM installed on 10 and then updated? What mods did you have installed?

A wipe will almost certainly fix all the issues you've suggested, rooting will not slow down your phone. Something else is at play 100%
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Ok so you say sorry then continue to patronise me?

PS: this is my thread, I'll do what I will.

Asking for courtesy is not a request, it's mandatory, no one will receive any help if they don't adhere to that and up until now no one hasn't.

Your problem is almost certainly your magisk version, use the beta, also you have a DA device, this is for BA, if you've used the files from there then you should'nt have.

Repatch the boot.img and use the preferred magisk version.

If not canary then the beta
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
These are my current magisk manager settings and version.

Bare in mind that whatever version you have installed, strictly speaking this is where version you should be using to patch your boot.img with.

I'm using canary but others have had success with beta.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] N3OMOD:
I wish I could say "I did something wrong" but honestly I followed the guide word-for-word. The device is a vanilla OP8 Pro, just configured out-of-the-box and updated to the latest Oxygen OS version.

No, I'm not. Never used it.

Not that I'm aware of. The sequence was: powering up the phone for the first time --> going trough initial configuration --> completing setup --> noticing the update notification --> downloading and rebooting to updated OS

As per previous experience, and per your suggestion, I did generate my own downloading the latest firmware package and extracting the boot.img trough the payload dumper tool.

Absolutely nothing installed. Not even a module in Magisk. And no, I wasn't coming from a previously installed Custom ROM.

I hope it too. I'm currently doing a complete wipe with the MSM tool. Hopefully this will completely restore the phon.

Indeed, this is the first time ever I've seen this issue. Never had problems in the past with Magisk or rooting in general. I'm baffled myself about this whole thing. Thanks a lot for your kind help, much appreciated.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
No worries man.

Can I ask, what size was the patched IMG when it was extracted and what size was it after patching?

Also which version did you use when you did actually patch it? It's been known to make it substantially smaller, which may be a factor.

Mines 96MB after patching.

Boot.img was 98.304 before patching.

Repatch the pre-patched boot img with a different magisk perhaps, only if the wipe doesn't help.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Also I've noticed a massive slow down when I turn on systemless and magisk hide.

Just reboot and that's fixed
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] N3OMOD:
I'm using latest Magisk Manager Canary (1469b82a - 315 - 14) and I've checked that the Upgrade Channel is indeed on "Canary".

As per the file size, trying to be as much precise as possible:

- The original Boot.img is 100663296 bytes ( listed as 96 MB under windows file proprieties and 98.304 KB in folder view)

- The patched Boot.img is 100663296 bytes ( listed as 96 MB under windows file proprieties and 98.304 KB in folder view)

They seem to be identical, but somehow I'm guessing this shouldn't be...right? :confused:

EDIT: the wipe just finished, luckily the device is restored to the factory state including locked bootloader.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] UnrealPancake:
I'll try both options and get back to you. I've tried booting directly to the patched image that I made as well, but it also hasn't helped. But I'll go ahead and try other boot images to see what happens.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] N3OMOD:
Finally, I made it!

The procedure per se is super-easy but the unknown along the road really made this more difficult than it should be.

These are the things that I have noticed and that kept me from completing the procedure at first try:

- When the phone is rebooted for the first time using the patched Boot.img (right after the unlock, with Magisk Canary freshly installed) there is a strange glitch where the WiFi connection isn't working anymore. You can enable/disable the toggle, but no network is shown. I managed to continue by enabling mobile data.

- Right after the first boot, when you need to open Magisk Manager to finalize the rooting, be very careful about a subtle pop-up screen that says something about Magisk needing to perform some optimizations. I didn't notice the first time, and inadvertently tapped the "ok" button leading to an unwanted reboot. Instead, one should cancel this pop-up and proceed with the instructions to permanently install Magisk.

- As noticed also by the OP, after enabling Magisk Hide you will notice a massive slow down. Rebooting fixes this issue.

Thanks a lot [MENTION=2880355]dladz[/MENTION] for the accurate guide and especially for the "moral support" while going through the first (and hopefully last) MSM Restore. I would like to ask one final bit of advice: what would be the recommended procedure, on this terminal, for performing a "clean wipe"? (removing Magisk, root, and having a relock-ready system)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
No worries man, I'm happy you're up and running.

Some odd issues there but glad we have some ammo for if it should occur again..

Nice one.

If your want to literally go back to zero / total stock, as far as I'm aware it would be MSM is tried and tested and officially it's OnePlus' software.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
AFAIK your bootloader shouldn't have relocked if it was a wipe from recovery...that's how I would have done it.

And yes the size is perfect.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
[MENTION=6616738]awsan[/MENTION] did you get sorted?

Try the same version as the above user, let me know how you get on.

Let's get you fixed up
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] awsan:
Sorry, just got home.

Yea it worked.

Installed the recommended Magisk you linked, created the patched boot img, booted installed magisk and everything worked perfectly.

A tip for others, when you switch from canary to stable don't reinstall magisk because its a version above the stable which will ruin everything and you have to start from point one again (You can update magisk manager tho)

Thanks a lot.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Nice one mate, cheers for the heads up..

:good:

Good to see you up and running
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Svid:
Everything works like a charm, thank you :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] poremetej:
Due to alcohol fueled carelessness, I have updated my rooted android 10 to (as of today) latest android 11....which I also allowed system to restart. I also managed to delete the downloaded image that came through OTA update..thinking it was some of the previous versions I did on previous root.

What can I do now to restore root?

It says my build number is Oxygen OS 11.0.1.1.IN11AA

It's Android 11

I downloaded the latest software update from the OnePlus support page, but I don't think it's the same version as the one in the phone, since the one on the website has a release date of Oct 31, while I'm sure the current update became available today or yesterday or something.

Please help
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Don't worry we've all been there ;)

Download the update from oxygen updater (screen shot below)

Copy to computer and extract payload.bin

Use my guide (look for the text 1st) to extract the boot.img and how to patch.

Then finally there rooting guide. (Look for the text 3rd)

Let me know if you get stuck
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] poremetej:
oh my god this was genius! I feel like this app is...cheating :D

I'm downloading the software version (had to enable "advanced mode" in settings).

will let you know how it went! cheers! :good:
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Sorry I forgot about advanced.

Haha no worries man. Glad to help

Take your time with it, I'm here right now so anything you unsure of let me know.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] poremetej:
Ok, I'm back. First, I got the black screen with only response coming through power button, which offered restart/power off options.

I realized I'll probably have to go full restore or something, and let out a huge damned exasperation sigh.

I surrendered and connected my phone to USB cable to begin...when the screen turned on and I was back in charge, system fully loaded. No idea what the hell just happened - but it works.

Now, I have the same wifi issue someone already reported - I can press the button, but it turns itself off again. Mobile internet works. I think you mentioned restarting will fix that, do I need to reboot through ADB or will normal reboot do it?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Normal reboot will be fine.

So have you booted the patched IMG?

Id like to find out what is causing this WiFi issue.

Please let me know what your had installed before you updated? Were you rooted and if so did you have any modules installed?

PS: could it be the channel chosen to patch it with? I wonder
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] poremetej:
I can also confirm the massive slowdown after using magisk hide - had to because of the mobile banking app.

My status before this:

- managed through your tutorial to root A10 - worked fine after some initial complications (i switched from OP3 to OP8P)

- went full system update this morning, restart+deleted downloaded OS file - this lost me my root

- I pulled the boot.img from full oxygen updater OS (noticed it's actually the same from currently posted on oneplus support page for OP8P) - part 1 of your tutorial

- went part 3 of your tutorial.

- used magisk beta channel to unlock buttons as suggested in part 1

- used adb boot of the magisk img I received

I can confirm also that the wifi issue resolved after the reboot

EDIT: huh, I just realized normal reboot lost me root again. Should I boot through adb again!?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Ah ok so you need to run through direct install again.

So boot the img then open magisk and direct install..then reboot.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] poremetej:
Man, you're a genius. YES. I forgot about the direct install.

Still, after second adb boot,

again

the wifi issue. As someone posted previously, I got around it by using mobile internet and now did the direct install through Magisk. After reboot wifi works fine.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Lovely and did root stick this time??
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] State.of.mind:
FYI this command will allow you to flash to both slots "fastboot flash boot --slot all boot.img"
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Yep I know...just didn't add it in as booting first then installing directly is a much safer way..

I only left the per slot option in there as that's how I initially did it and as an option..

Cheers though.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Click thanks btw buddy. :good:
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ballroomblitz:
I know how this is going to sound. I'm a stone cold newbie when it comes to this device. I was messing around and downloaded OB 3 and attempted to install it (for no particular reason), and couldn't figure out to move the download to the root of my storage. I can't really say why I'm screwing around with this stuff other than it was one of the quickest ways I got more familiar with past devices -Moto, Sammy, LG. I'm not even sure what answer I'm looking for?? I'm reading and trying to figure things out. I definitely like the device, just pretty confused by it.

Oh, BTW I was attempting to use payload dumper again to extract a new boot.img. I got the first one from OnePlus8ProOxygen_15.O.30_OTA_0300_all_2010031617_f9ca0bfd1b.zip.

Oxygen updater only lets me download OB 3.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Hi there,

Ok so what's your question?

Do you have an OS installed?

What do you hope to achieve?

Experimenting is the best method for sure but leave yourself a way out.

With 11 there is no TWRP so it's MSM or bust, 10 had a relatively functional TWRP.

I would recommend going stable either on 10 if you want everything you could possibly need OR 11 if you want the latest security and OS.

Personally I think there's enough mods and stability to choose 11, so that's where I am at the moment.

If you can answer my questions, also your model/ region, we can get you to where you need to be.

Cheers.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ballroomblitz:
I want to eventually root so I can run magisk modules. I'm on the global device in2025. I'm running the latest stable oos11. Per my previous post, I've downloaded the oos 11 firmware I mentioned and using payload dumper, and the included magisk, was able to create a patched boot.img. The only thing I'm feeling sketchy about is having to potentially hassle with the fp sensor issue if I have to re lock bootloader for whatever reason. I guess I need to find and download man tool in case I end up needing it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
On so first things first, visit the persist image thread to find out how to back up your persist partition. Then you're safe to do what you want.

If you extracted the boot.img using payload dumper then great that's there, plus you've patched it, so good so far.

So you can go ahead and boot the img, check 3rd in the guide method 1

Don't forget to make it permanent with a direct install

Then once done just back up your persist partition and you're ready to flash some modules.

Bare in mind to keep the version of magisk manager installed that you used to patch it, at least until you're rooted then you can update as you see fit..

From there on in if you get an update.

1. Disable magisk modules.

2. Download and install update

3. Don't reboot

4. Patch using OTA from magisk manager

5. Reboot - wait - enable magisk modules (if compatible )

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] N3OMOD:
quick question about update while rooted

Just a quick question, because It's my first time with an OP device and I don't really want to mess up :)

When you talk about the procedure to update from stable-to-stable while maintaining root (procedure 4 on the main page) you mention this:

Are you referring to the native updater (the one Oxigen OS send a notification about the update) or are you referring to the homonym PlayStore Application that lets you manually download update packages?

If the latter is the case, then the question would be which package is required: Full or OTA?

Thank you once again for your courtesy and your help.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
No I'm referring to the app as it nearly always gets the update before the system does, plus it will match your device and give you the ability to download the full update which you will need if you are rooted.

The stable to stable I was referring to would be

11.0.0 to 11.0.1.1

so

11 stable to 11.0.1.1 stable

But it's also for future updates
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
If that's the patched / non patched IMG you're referring to then that's about right, it's a 96MB file according to widows and androids file managers..it could read differently in bytes but I wouldn't have imagined by too much, that does seem a little smaller 10MB ?

In short the only real way to know would be to try to boot it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Boxy52:
Hey all,

So I used this guide to root my previously rooted Android 10 device on Android 11 after OP seemingly forced an OTA (I never clicked yes, but one day it was just installed).

Anyway, I had root and was happy for a few weeks, and now there was that update for IN2025 yesterday. Somehow, without me saying yes (AGAIN!) the phone did an update. I had no idea this had happened, and I just went to reboot my phone since it was being slow. I only know there was an update because weirdly enough, the persistent update notification is gone. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but I get it now.

Anyway, phone is stuck and won't boot. It will only go to fastboot or recovery but if I try starting it it just goes back into fastboot. I have tried flashing a patched boot.img to both slots but it will only boot to fastboot.

I can get into recovery. I know I can use unbrick tool but I really don't want to lose all my data. Is there any chance of me recovering anything here? Can I do a one-time boot into twrp and recover anything?

Just looking for ANY options at all.

Thanks guys, don't know where else to ask.

System Update Not Working

Hello all,

I have a problem that I have not come across before. I have the One Plus 8 Pro (Global - IN2025). When I tried to update from Android 10 to 11 using System Update it would not let me do it. Each time I pushed the system update button it would tell me that a new update was available and give me all the information about the update but at the top of the it would say "Couldn't update" and directly under that it would say "Installation problem" and the installation would stop. At the bottom of the screen it said "Try again." If you clicked on try again a message would appear that said "Download & Install" if you clicked on download & install it would start to act as if it was going to download and install the update but after a few second it would stop and the message "Installation paused" and under that it would say "Installation will continue when device isn't being used. To install now tap Resume." When I tapped on Resume it went back to the Couldn't update installation problem message. In short the only way I got to Android 11 was by downloading the update package and doing a local install. I then had to re-root my phone using the fantastic guide at the beginning of this thread.

I hoped I posted this in the right thread - if not my apologies - just tell me where it should go.

However now I am facing exactly the same problem when trying to update from 11 to 11.0.1.1.

Does anyone know how I can get around this issue. I tried rebooting and immediately trying to update, I tried using the Magisk hide setting but, that didn't work.

I would really appreciate any help to solve this problem or if anyone can tell me where I can get the full update package for the Global IN2025 11.0.1.1 OTA then I will root again after the update has been installed..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Have you followed the guide dude??

Just use oxygen updater and make sure you disable modules first,, If you're using Lucky Patcher I can't help you until that's gone.

You won't be able to install a partial update if you're rooted, it has to be full.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Hi, so what OS installed or is installed??

Are you on beta or stable?

Beta was pushing updates and some forced wipes and automatic reboots.

You can kill off system update by freezing it in titanium.

So, if judging by what update you're on you will probably just require the boot img to be booted, if you're rooted then directly installed via magisk or flashed if you're not.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Boxy52:
Hey man, thank you for the quick reply.

So let me say what happened and I'll try and word it more clearly since I think I made it confusing.

Originally I was on Android 10. At some point, OnePlus auto accepted the update and put me on Android 11 (I had been ignoring it forever, one day I rebooted my phone and boom I was on Android 11 with no root).

That was fine, since I found your guide! I went ahead and followed your steps to get rooted on Android 11. Had to use Magisk Beta if that matters at all, and had to flash both boot_a and boot_b.

Anyway, yesterday, I kept seeing this notification for a new Android 11 update. I kept ignoring it. At some point in the day, the notification went away, and I later went to reboot my phone since it was being slow. Well, when I did that - boom, phone goes straight into fastboot. I can get it into recovery as well, but it will not start - will only go to fastboot.

I know I can use the unbrick method to restore the phone, but I don't want to lose all my data, so wanted to ask here first if there's any way.

Ok EDIT:

I am now realizing that TWRP no longer works for these phones, and also, since last night, I am now unable to get into stock recovery mode either.

I suppose I will have to wait for someone to post the full update OTA. Someone claims to have posted it but upon inspection it's just the 11.0 update.

Guess I'm SOL.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Well ok, so you don't know what OS you're on, Android 11 could mean many different things.. also your region..

If you updated from 10 - 11 via a system update and it wasn't an open beta (you'd have had to choose to be on this btw) then it'll have updated you to 11.0.0

Then the new notification was for 11.0.1.1 which installed so you see your modules which you had installed won't be working and itll cause a bootloop..

If I'm correct then you need to do two things.

1. Run the ADB command for removing modules, it's at the end of the guide, if it doesn't let you get that far or doesn't work then you'll need the next step.

2. Flash the 11.0.1.1 boot.img, preferably the one for your region, I'm on UK/EU so mines 2023BA yours may be different.

If you have the EU version then you can download my magisk patched IMG and boot it, no need to flash it to both slots..

This should get you back in your OS and rooted.

Then open magisk and click install/update and install directly.

That should be it.

But do not install twrp, also if you have used lucky patcher that could also be why you can't boot but I can't help with that

Worst case scenario, boot to the stock recovery (vol up) and wipe system.

This will retain your data but you'll need to set up your phone again and download / Install apps
