Oh, it has OTA in the name but because you're going from 10 to 11 you need to full ROM, even via OTA. Hence the confusion.

You need to go back through the last ~5 pages of this thread and see if there is a patched boot image for your rom. If so, upgrade via OTA and then root.

You shouldn't install direct, you should use install then OTA install option.

[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flapjack:
I was wondering about this. I thought I read somewhere that direct install could cause issues, but wasn't sure.

I'm on the global OnePro 11.0.2.2 (AA) already, but just got the notification to update to Magisk 21.2.

Since all that is updating is Magisk (not the ROM itself), is the direct install method safe? What about modules? The only module I have installed is the Total Recall module for rooted call recording.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Well you can only directly install via magisk once you have successfully booted and or flashed a patched boot.img

Ideally you would go to fastboot (phone in bootloader)

Then type: fastboot boot magisk_patched.img

Then the phone will boot, open magisk, click the top install button and then install directly.

The other thing you should avoid unless you know your boot img is perfect is to flash.

fastboot flash boot slot_a magisk_patched.img

Or slot_b

Booting is risk free.

In regards to magisk updating, I'd make sure I was on the beta channel then click the bottom install on the main page (magisk manager)

Then the top one via direct install, then reboot.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flapjack:
Thanks for the advice. I was able to do direct install with no issue (was already on the beta channel).

Ironically, I just got a notification for 11.0.6.7.KB05AA. I usually just do those, don't reboot, and apply Magisk to the inactive slot.

**EDIT**

Of course, now I'm getting the "Installation problem" message. Great.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flapjack:
Due to the "installation problem" error, I updated using the instructions in this article. Everything made sense, and it ended with the "install to inactive slot" method I was used to doing anyway. I rebooted just fine, but no longer have root. The only part of the article I skipped was obviously the TWRP retention script.

How to Install OTA Updates on Rooted Android Devices using Magisk [Without Losing Root]

An OTA update has arrived, but you cannot install it because your Android device is rooted? Well, that’s a known downside of rooting Android. In this guide, you will learn how to install OTA updates…

Guessing I'll be rootless for a while now, as I literally just got this OTA an hour or so ago. Pretty sure there's no full OTA available yet.

Sorry buddy I posted then realised this is the OnePlus 8 forum.

I have a OnePlus 8 Pro

Tbh the firmware is available for your region you can use my guide to obtain the patched boot IMG. It's really quite simple
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] carnitza:
@ dladz

I use your guide (very good guide - clear and easy to follow ), first method but I have a problem :

I extract boot.image from ROM, copy to my device (OP8), installed the last Magisk manager (beta) but after select the button "Select and Patch a file" and choose boot.img the button "LETS'GO" ISN'T ACTIVE.

What can I do ??

thanks in advance

PS

Maybe someone can share magisk_patched.img for OxygenOS 11033/IN21BA (EUROPE)
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Thanks your very welcome.

Are you about to update your OS?

You'd choose this option if so and there would be no need to extract the boot image.

If you aren't rooted then let me know and I'll get you an image. I'll extract and patch it for you.

Edit: actually the site I use to obtain firmwares hasn't got 3.3 for the 8 yet

I can't confirm the size the boot image should be but this one was 98MB for the pro whereas the last one was 96MB

Double check the size output from payload dumper and magisk patched.

Also delete the old one you had on your phone just to avoid a mix up
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] carnitza:

I forgot about your method no.3 and unfortunately I've already upgrade the phone to 11.0.3.3, :)

[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
You do not need to flash via fastboot, at all.

simply boot via fastboot then open magisk manager, click install and install directly, reboot and you're done.

Reason i would recommend this is if it fails your phone will not boot until you've flashed a functional boot.img.

The boot / direct install method is risk free.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] carnitza:
thanks Retteren and dladz , works perfect

and : my mistake it's MB not kb !!
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retteren:
I see. What I have read (and I might have misunderstood something along the way) is that if a "fastboot boot image.bin" works, then flashing the same image.bin is guaranteed to work. The whole point of "fastboot boot image.bin" is to verify that the phone wille correctly boot to the new image.

Your method saves "half a step" so to say - the reboot to the second fastboot.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Haha and yea you're right it should.

But wouldn't it be easier to open magisk, click install and then, install directly? Means you don't need to use your pc again

[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sjgoel:
I converted T-Mobile device to global A11, but my signal was poor so I reverted to T-Mobile stock using the MSMTool. So far so good.

To convert again to global, I flashed the stock fastboot ROM (11.0.0-GLOBAL-OnePlus8Oxygen_15.O.30_OTA). Flashing went well but phone ended up on the bootloader screen. Tried the earlier A10 global ROM versions but with same results. So am forced back on T-Mobile.

Why does my phone end up on Bootloader screen when the same procedure & same global ROM had worked perfectly few weeks ago?

Guys, I need some help here. My old motherboard died so I had to replace and, naturally, install Windows 10 Pro from scratch. The problem is now when I put the phone in the fastboot mode, Windows won't see it.

Doing some Googling I saw endless posts about installing the proper drivers. Fine. The only problem is I can't find the right ones. I've downloaded several that are supposedly for Oneplus 8 and the issue persists. There was even a post about using the CD that came with the phone. What CD? I don't think the phone included one, and even if it did I have no idea where it is.

I should also mention that ADB runs OK. Type ADB devices and it'll spit out the serial number. In fact, on the taskbar's USB icon it even says "Eject 2013" (referring to the phone). On the fastboot mode, Device Manager shows an entry called "Android" with a question mark on it (i.e., no drivers installed).

BTW I was able to flawlessly perform the upgrade to 1.1.0.44 on the old laptop because I couldn't use the desktop.

Any ideas???

djmenz -> You gave me the link to Platform Tools 3005 which is what I've been using for quite a while. When I put the phone in bootloader mode, plug it into the computer and type "fastboot devices", no serial number or anything else comes up. Are you saying the driver problem preventing me from using fastboot can be solved with Platform Tools? If so, how?

Loki602 -> Thanks for your link to Maunofrio's Tool All In One. I'm seeing it does quite a bit of stuff and I'm afraid of pressing the wrong button :). All I'm looking to do [for now] is install the necessary drivers to make sure I can use fastboot to communicate with the phone in the bootloader mode. Would this be as simple as installing the tool, plugging the phone in and clicking "Install Drivers" or is there more to it than that?
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] djmcnz:
The platform tools, which includes fastboot, are the latest "drivers" available, you don't need a phone specific driver. If you're having problems then completely remove your existing drivers, including deleting the driver files. Put the phone in fastboot mode, plug it in, right click on the device in Device Manager, select Uninstall device, check Delete the driver software for this device and proceed. Unplug the phone, reboot Windows, install the platform tools, reboot Windows boot the phone to fastboot, plug the phone it, what happens in Device Manager?
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] humb13:
Thanks for your reply. Please see the screenshots:

attached screenshots

Notice that an Android device appears in Device Manager. Notice too what is says when I right clicked. There is no driver installed and it seems Windows is looking for one. I uninstalled the strange Android device and rebooted, to no avail. There were no drivers to delete.

Keep in mind ADB works. Fastboot also works well on the old laptop where there appear to be some drivers installed. I don't remember installing them nor how they got there. If indeed there are drivers on the laptop, is it possible to copy them to the desktop and installed?

Thanks for any help.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] djmcnz:
On your second screenshot click on 'uninstall device', in the next screen select the checkbox that says something like 'also uninstall drivers for this device'. Then unplug your phone, reboot Windows, reinstall the platform tools and plug your device in again.

That ADB works is slightly irrelevant (although it means your cable is working). Drivers are a misdirection, you only need the platform tools (they include the generic device drivers you need).
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dDesuKb:
Come into a weird issue where fastboot will not flash anything. It will respond to obvious commands like fastboot reboot but it won't actually flash anything.

Literally stuck at an empty output with very high CPU usage on the machine trying to fastboot.

Never saw this with 11.0.2.2 or 1.1. Only with 4.4.

Edit. Flashing to specific boot slots results in cannot get boot partition size. Even though the device is connected and shows up in fastboot devices.

[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] humb13:
This isn't what I did but I found the solution. Let me share it with the rest of you in case anyone runs into this issue.

I connected the phone to the laptop in bootloader mode to see why it worked. On Device Manager it showed the phone listed as Kedacom USB device - Android Bootloader Interface and there were drivers loaded. After Googling I ended up here HERE and found the a CAB file with the drivers. I opened the CAB, extracted the files and installed the drivers for the Android phone with the question mark -- problem solved!!! Fastboot works perfectly. Device Manager shows the same as the laptop.

djmcnz -> I'm confused about something. You said uninstall and reinstall platform tools. The tools file I have is a zip where you simply extract the files to a folder. It's fully portable, no installation at all. Are we talking about the same thing?

[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] humb13:
This question has probably been asked before, but let me go ahead and ask again. What happens if you accidentally use [for example] EU kernel files to upgrade/root a Global phone -- or vice versa? Will it brick the phone or what?

I my concern is that my phone is an IN21AA 2013 and the files posted for download are IN21AA 2010. So far every kernel files labeled as Global as worked. I'm not too sure about 2010 and 2013.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] djmcnz:
Yes, you'll need to unlock the bootloader to change/modify the kernel (which Magisk requires). If you unlock your bootloader your phone will be wiped.

You need to use fastboot to unlock the bootloader, you can follow one of the guides here in XDA.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] djmcnz:
Test the kernel first without flashing it:

fastboot boot <kernel name>.img

If that works, then flash it.
[OnePlus 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] djmcnz:
Yes, sorry, I have a history of OP phones and realise I had installed the drivers!

The USB drivers come shipped on the phone. When you plug it in (with USB Debugging turnned OFF) and set USB mode to "USB - No data transfer" then a OnePlus CD drive will show up in Explorer and the drivers are in there.

Unfortunately the fastboot driver is not digitally signed so you need to jump through some hoops to tell Windows to allow unsigned drivers (https://www.technipages.com/enable-disable-device-driver-signing).

But well done on getting it working despite my advice!

Interesting, what device model do you have?

I've just check the MD5's and retested both of my images and they perform as expected. I downloaded yours and it results in a bootloop. Also the MD5 of your file matches neither of mine. When you say you ran my 'stock' image through Magisk what, exactly, did you do? Because Magisk can't install itself unless you already have root (so my stock image can't be used for that).
