Have just replied to another chap who PM'd me directly, are you all using stable magisk?

Were you all rooted previously?

Did you run the magisk modules removal command?

If you do indeed use stable instead of Canary you will need to re-patch the stock boot image.

Also please ensure that the magisk patched image is of the correct size, should be around 96MB, as should the stock boot image.

Hope this helps.

PS: please bare in mind that the images provided here are for the UK/EU variant so should not be used for the US variant, the guide can be used without issue.

Seeing as all of you are on the US variant I find that 4 people all at once having the same issue is more than coincidence.

If the image you've obtained is of the right size (I would obtain my own) and the magisk patched image size is also the correct size then the issue is almost certainly the version of Magisk used.

I used 22.0 stable to patch and retain root however I have since updated to 22.1 stable which is also functional.

Give both a try, I have not tried to patch initially with 22.1 stable, only to retain root once rooted.

If you were rooted before then it could be an app that is causing the issue, the magisk module removal command should fix this.

Although if you were rooted before, you should have used the retain root section of the guide.

Yesterday i did the following on my new 8pro, european version:

Upgrading to latest Android 11, unlocking bootloader, extracting boot.img from file, patching with magisk 22.1 on my old OP 6T, booting from patched image, installing magisk, later installing custom kernel with fkm, ...some reboots between steps for sure.

Btw, all running fine, magisk modules for systemless host and wireguard installed, magisk hide for some apps, all good...

The only thing whats missing is twrp, but maybe will come some day ;-)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Yea you can patch it with any phone, it's all good.

Glad you're sorted.

TWRP is WIP at the moment, but in all fairness you really don't need it for any of the custom ROMs
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Reason that it may not have worked in the first place and that one does.

Is either the extraction of that boot image was different, or the version used, or the copying / uploading of the file had changed the file.

You can combat this usually by taking note of the exact size on phone and making sure it doesn't change by the time you come to boot it.

Booting is definitely the preferred way.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] azsl1326:
Thanks for this posting this method. So you patched the boot image file for your 8 Pro on your 6T and then moved that file back to your 8Pro and booted from it? I also have the 6T so could have used your method.

What's the easiest way to install custom kernels without TWRP?

That's a slick method. Thanks!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nihilista:
Yes, patched on 6T and then moved to new phone. Custom kernel installs fine with fkm integrated flasher...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] azsl1326:
What's FKM integrated flasher? Is that Franco's app?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nihilista:
Yes, that's it👍
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] azsl1326:
Just got my US 8 Pro. How are custom roms installed without TWRP.

TIA
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Using fastboot, either via script or via per single image file method.

Takes more time (single image does anyway)

All of the ROMs have their method of installation in their respective OP.

I'm looking to update my phone but I wanted to check if my steps are correct. I'm currently rooted on 11.0.4.4AA. I have the global version (USA), but the guide should be universal as long as I download the correct firmware version, right? Here's what I'm thinking of doing:

1. When I try to check updates on my phone, it wants to download and install an incremental 11.0.5.5 (289MB) update. Instead, I'm going to download the 11.0.5.5AA full update (2.9GB file) on my PC and move it to the root storage on my phone.

2. Do a local upgrade and point it to install the full 11.0.5.5 I downloaded in step 1.

3. After installing update, NOT reboot but just back out of the installer.

4. Open Magisk and install to "inactive slot (after OTA)". Side note, I don't have any Magisk modules installed.

5. Finally reboot phone and I should be on 11.0.5.5 with root?

Does that sound correct?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Yea don't use the incremental update

1. Disable all magisk modules

2. Download the update (I'd recommend oxygen updater)

3. Click local update, point to file.

4. As soon as it's gone through it'll ask you to reboot, DO NOT REBOOT

5. Close that window and open magisk. Then click install and choose install after OTA.

6. Reboot and you're done.

Looking for magisk patched boot image for OnePlus 8 pro android 11 beta 10 for model IN2020. Too many things go wrong when I try to do it myself. Anyone have it?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Afraid not buddy, so long as you follow the guide it should work.

Someone else doing it should actually cause more problems than doing it yourself, copying and magisk versions could cause problems.

So long as you follow the guide to the letter it should work, I've never had a single failure.

But then again, I've never used the beta either.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Nah it's cool, don't worry mate :D

Can leave it there if you like lol, just putting it out there as i can't get those boot images, unless i download them all then extract then patch then upload, it's a lot when i can only ideally support one of them, there are some differences between them.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
@PieceKeepr

I'd say make a boot image thread but not sure if theres actually too many at the moment.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Please read the thread title.

This is a thread for the BA device..

Which is UK / EU.

You could however use the guide in the OP to obtain your own patched boot image instead of asking for it...

All instructions are in the OP.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] volcy123:
@dladz Hi, i'm trying to root my IN2020 11.0.6.6IN11AA device but i didn't understand section 2. How can i find zip file of my variant for 11.0.6.6 for extracting payload.bin? Thanks for guide btw.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
You're very welcome.

Lol you just had to read the OP and you'd have your answer 😂

So in the OP you'll see that I recommend using oxygen updater.

Providing it's available for your device variant you can download it and then follow the instructions.

Oxygen updater instructions are also in the OP.

If you do not see your FULL update in Ox updater then no you won't be able to.

Also bare in mind that the patched images are for the BA (UK/EU) model.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] volcy123:
thanks for reply, but 11.0.6.6. not avaible (for global) in OP yet, thats because why i asked.

edit: i flashed eu version of stock rom and i

used your patched magisk image and voila everything works smoothly :) Thanks!!

Have had a taste of the custom ROM's on the Oneplus device's.

Bottom line is this:

Pro's

Superior OS

Faster OS

Ridiculous amount of options

CRT (sweet jesus why did they ever remove this animation)

Epic amount of options and tweaks

You get to use Gcam (yay, sort of)

Cons

Truly HORRIFIC camera support, it utilizes none of the Oneplus' cameras capabilities, and i mean literally NONE!, it's diabolical

Sub par battery life

This is my last oneplus device, it's pixel for life now. Apparently they can port the original camera in.

I need to change up.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fishawy:
+1 for that. Quite a long journey here with OnePlus, but the company current direction is sad.

I tried the Pixel 5 for about 2 weeks, wasn't the device for me. Hopefully the 6/pro brings a decent upgrade.

Guess the only thing I'm gonna miss is the alert slider, but for heaps of pros, I can do without.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Aye the last pixel/Nexus phone I had was the 6p and the battery on that was shocking.

Hopefully they've moved on from that..

Time will tell for me, comparing battery it's not in the same league as the OnePlus. Hoping it gets better
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] norbu1987:
damn been trying to root for 3 days every method all ended up with bootloop. did 4-5 times msm download then upgrade to 11.0.5.5 locally google app back. what a frustration. downloaded one of IN11aa patched magisk it worked. may be you should just point that link or mention this bootloop just to save time for people.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] tfae:
That's why the 1st step is the first step. You should've patched the boot.img yourself!

Just follow the guide. It has everything you need (and more).
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] melmarPH:
Hey yall!

Million thanks to this awesome detailed rooting tutorial. Guide is crystal clear and can be easily followed. I just wanna make sure one thing though, attached picture is my current build, do I download the boot img with file name to root my device?

"Oxygen OS 11.0.6.6 - EU IN11BA -IN2023 Patched boot.img"

Thanks a lot!!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Not sure how anyone gets this wrong. I've done this more times that I can count and had no issues..

Also the files are for BA? Not sure why or even how the AA one worked for you if you're on BA.

Lastly, you haven't explained what you did or what happened.

If you're in a bootloop from booting an image then just reboot. It's not permanent, if you've flashed instead then I guess you haven't read the guide.

Either way if you're sorted now then great, but no I will not be linking any AA boot images as I do not have the device and as such I cannot support it.

Hi there,

And thank you, you're very welcome for the guide.

Ok so in your situation, you have the global device, so no do not use the BA patched image..

Just follow the guide to extract the boot.img from the full update..

Then simply follow the guide.

In short

1. Download the full update for 11.0.6.6 AA

2. Copy to your computer and open the zip

3. Copy out the payload.bin file from the zip to the input folder of payload dumper

4. Run payload dumper and it'll output all the images to the output folder.

5. Copy the boot.img to your phone and patch with magisk

6. Copy back to your computer in your fastboot / ADB folder and enter fast boot

7. Run this command:

Fastboot boot (name of patched image)

8. Your phone will boot, open magisk and select install directly.

Done

You are the best thread starter I ever encountered in XDA. Lol very responsive, very detailed, very thorough. Thanks a lot to you!!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fishawy:
True that. One of the most supportive people on here.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Cheers mate,

You're very welcome, it's been hard over covid and with the app not working due to the mass update on XDA, keeping track of notifications, I have the app now and it's working well so long may it continue.

Initially I just wanted a clear and concise guide when I started and although the information is definitely out there, and there are a tonne of threads with superb information, I still had to do a bit of digging and to ask some questions.

So that was my main aim, just to be clear and try to help anyone avoid what I went through, I suppose that's what XDA is (or should be) about.

I'm just happy to help mate 👍

Glad you're sorted
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Appreciate that mate.

Nice one 👍
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] melmarPH:
I pray to God that someone like you will come to support AA version as well. I have been searching around and 11.0.6.6AA patched img doesn't seem to be readily available anywhere. So I guess I will have to figure things out myself. Or wait until someone will.😅
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Lol, I can indeed extract the boot.img and patch it but it's a ballache as I don't have the device and as such I wouldn't be able to verify if it works or not.

But tbh anyone could do it, the guide for extracting the boot.img should work..

Once you've done it once or twice it takes about 2 minutes (plus the download)

Just always use full updates.

Which leads me to the last issue, AA tend to not release the full update for some reason.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ps000000:
Global might skip to 11.0.7.7 from 11.0.5.5.

I saw 11.0.7.7 in Oxygen Updater App for Indian version.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Good to know will grab it if it's available.

Cheers.

Probably just security patches tbh.

Guess they're waiting for 12, I doubt it'll be a massive change.

Might give the beta a try, haven't done before.

Center clock - disabled during installation of 7.7, device boots and appears completely functional.

Systemless (didn't disable systemless, still boots)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] DAXX:
How do I get the 11.0.7.7 patch for the US/Global version? AA
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
I don't have the AA device I'm afraid.

OnePlus has not been very forthcoming with the global version of their device (AA)

So you have to wait usually.

Just install oxygen updater as this will provide the quickest method to obtain it.

If you get the update on oxygen updater, then simply use my guide and you'll be fine..

You do need the full update..

Someone did actually use the BA patch from the OP and it worked?

Go back a few pages and you'll see who I'm referring to.

Personally I wouldn't have used it but it's possible.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] null0seven:
Hi dladz

Please, can you give some advice how to un-root & go to factory state of the phone.

Like when you want to sell the phone & the buyer is scared of the bootloader security message & don't want root.

I see users with bootloop and bricked phones, that's way i ask.

Thank you.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Davidphoora:
Hi everyone, need to ask one thing.... Using this method, will i lose any of my data?

Wanted to have root without losing data...

Regards
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] tfae:
You don't lose data by rooting. You lose data when unlocking bootloader.

Even if you already have the bootloader unlocked, make sure to backup before rooting in case you mess up.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Sure.

If it were me I'd just MSM back then update to the latest OOS.

Good to go.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] volcy123:
11.0.7.7 patched image worked like a charm!! thanks dladz
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Yep, as @tfae has said, rooting doesn't make you lose data, but if you're yet to unlock your bootloader then yes you would need to back up first as unlocking it will definitely wipe everything.

Rooting just changes the boot.img.

As per the OP, back up anyway.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] tfae:
@null0seven just like @dladz said, but I wouldn't bother updating to the latest OOS. Just use the latest MSM, turn off the phone when it is done and let the new user update it himself/herself. :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] d3m0nzh0und:
Thank you so much for prompt response mate. It's been a lovely thread because of your shear contribution. In developer options, the bootloader is set to unlock. I hope I won't lose any data. My cell is US/Global version, is there a way to download full OTA update 11.0.7.7 so that i can take out the boot img and patch it up usong magisk v23? If there's, kindly if you can share the link for full update.

Regards
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
No worries, thanks for confirming
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
You're more than welcome mate, glad to help.

So did you actually unlock your bootloader?

I'd have thought you'd have remembered as it will have wiped your phone, I have another thread about unlocking the bootloader in this guides section..

OEM unlocking has to be checked in developer options.

You can try rooting, as it won't have any effect if it's locked.

But if that is the case then, you'll want to make a back up and follow that thread then jump on this one.

EDIT: Ahh you're on AA, so you will either have to use the already available AA patches or extract your own, although the guide here won't work for that unless the full update for AA becomes available. @bouchigo could be able to assist with the AA patched image.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] bouchigo:
As @dladz already mentioned, OnePlus always lags behind for the US/global version. The full image and OTA aren't available yet. If you go to the 11.0.5.5.IN11AA thread I posted the patched (that I patched with v23.0 stable magisk) and unpatched/stock boot images that I pulled from my rooted 11.0.7.7.IN11AA phone. If the original poster asks me to remove them from there, I will, as to not clutter up that thread; I won't be starting a new thread for it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] null0seven:
Thank you very much for helping out.

Msm don't work for me. My phone is not seen in Device Manager (it show = Android). I installed all the latest Qualcom drivers.

My laptop usb's 3.1 only. My sister usb's only 3.0.

Phone ON, pc see it. Phone in Fastboot/Bootloader Not seen.

Un-root is easy. I was on latest Canary.

Lock the bootloader is not. I try with adb & Mauronofrio Tool. Not workig for me.

Same. Phone on is seen in Tool. Reboot to bootloader, not anymore.

I'll try to borrow a laptop...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Yes I would recommend USB 2.

Don't bother with drivers, just allow windows to do the leg work..you only need to have what fastboot / ADB has in its folder plus MSM.

Then just connect and it should see it.

I would not use windows 7 as it does not reobtain drivers for fastboot (which you'll need)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] gd*T:
Hello everyone; so if i understand, there is no way to directly root under android 11 ? I'll have to downgrade to 10 before ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
No that's not true..

You have to unlock your bootloader (regardless of OS)

Obtain the boot image for the firmware you're on and then boot it.

Then make it permanent by installing directly (whilst in the phones OS) using Magisk.

This is all in the OP.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] d3m0nzh0und:
I hope I've patched it rightly. I've used ur unpatched 11.0.7.7.IN11AA boot image and patched it using magisk canary v23... All i need to do is unlock bootloader and push the patched boot img right?

Thank u for the help... Rep+
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] bouchigo:
It looks like the patching was done successfully.

You should boot the boot image to make sure it boots up correctly, and then do a direct install through the magisk app instead of directly flashing the boot image in fastboot...it's the safest bet (y)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xpdragon:
Same here. Tired of waiting for the full version of AA firmware 11.0.6.6 or 11.0.7.7, I decided to install the latest BA patch on my rooted AA device. It works just fine so far. My steps: install BA patch (11.0.7.7) from Oxygen Updater --> Install Magisk to Inactive Slot (After OTA) --> Run "Keep Data" app (May be optional) --> Reboot --> done.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fishawy:
How did you get the 11.0.7.7 BA from Oxygen Updater while being on 11.0.5.5 AA? I'm considering this but doesn't the base difference prevent you from detecting the update?

My understanding is you cannot flash an incremental update while rooted, did you unroot to upgrade?

Also, what's the difference between AA and BA anyway? App-wise or else?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xpdragon:
In Oxygen updater, change your Device setting to One Plus 8 Pro (EU) and enable Advanced Mode, you will be able to download 11.0.7.7 BA.

No need to unroot since 11.0.7.7 BA is full OTA. Just install it using local upgrade option. Don't reboot before installing magisk in the inactive slot if you don't want to lose root. I also ran the Keep Data app (not sure if it is needed, but doesn't hurt to run it just to be safe).

I don't know the exact difference between AA and BA. The only thing that I noticed is App Store prompted the option to install additional browser and search engine. It must have to do with EU law. Other than that, I don't see any difference after a week with 11.0.7.7 BA.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fishawy:
Thanks for that.

I hope that switching from BA to AA in the future can also be done the same way without having to wipe.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xpdragon:
That's is my understand too. I don't see any need to switch back to AA if update for AA keeps falling behind BA. I also followed the recommendation of backing up the persist.img before cross flashing just in case it is needed later.
