Eventually got root to stick permanently.

Originally I went through all of your steps on the first page and what you provided me with earlier, even the extra command and had no luck. I think this was due to how I originally rooted using the tool which was using a different version of Magisk. So when I patched my boot.img it wasnt actually working correctly?

Does that sound right?

I had to find a patched magisk file online for my specific version using a beta version of magisk - I would call this user error I guess :D I did notice the downloaded patched file was 4mb larger than mine that I created using the same stock rom...

Glad I could finally figure it out, even if I'm not 100% sure I did it right lol

Anyway, thankyou for all your help!

Update: Nothing wrong with patching of my boot.img - turns out I HAVE to use the beta channel for magisk for it to actually work. Canary channel did not give me an install button and stable didnt root which is what gave me problems from the beginning. Oh well now I know... Hopefully it helps others posting this.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] GrandMstrBud:
This does not work. I tried the upgrade patch from 10 to 11 and after it rebooted my phone was stuck and would not boot. I ended up flashing the original boot.img to get it to boot up and then did the upgrade to 11. So I was at 11 and unlocked the bootloader, installed magisk manager and patched the boot.img and then tried to flash the patched boot.img to both slots and after I booted back up I still have no root. I don't know what I missed I've done everything exactly to all the guides I've found. So basically I'm missing root even though I've flashed the patched boot.img. Is root not available on Oxygen OS 11.IN11AA? Kind of pissed I wasted a half a day and now I have no root and will have to setup everything from scratch. Is it just me or is this fingerprint reader the biggest pain in the ass and it takes like 100 times to get it to work. Pixel or iPhones setup the first try.

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

Do i need to downgrade to 10 in order for root to work? 7 hours now and I have nothing but a stock One Plus 8 on 11. Where do i get Magisk Canary?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
You unlocked the bootloader after you flashed a boot img? None of this would have worked if your bootloader wasn't unlocked in the first place.

I can promise you the guide works like a charm, if you did something wrong I can't help that.

Change the magisk version to the one a few pages back..

And boot the IMG you don't need to flash to both slots, also make sure you repatch your IMG with the magisk manager I suggested.

You do not need to downgrade.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] GrandMstrBud:
No I didn't relock the bootloader. I downgraded and then followed that precess and that worked.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Omg I didn't say you relocked it??

You've literally just said

"This does not work. I tried the upgrade patch from 10 to 11 and after it rebooted my phone was stuck and would not boot. I ended up flashing the original boot.img to get it to boot up and then did the upgrade to 11. So I was at 11 and unlocked the bootloader"

Anyway if you're rooted then good for you.

I can't follow what you said in your previous message, but don't message that my guide doesn't work, that is simply not true.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] GrandMstrBud:
Why would I lie and say it doesn't work? I've been around a long time and rooted many devices all the way back to the first android device. It didn't work for me and I read it more than once to make sure I didn't miss anything and it simply didn't work.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Honestly, in short. I don't believe you, I believe you messed something up or missed something.

I ran through these exact steps and wrote them down as I did? So yes I know it works.

The large amount of thanks on the OP plus the people who've reported it working suggests you're incorrect.

You gave me half the information I needed to help you and didn't do that in the right order??? Confusing from start until finish.

If you read the OP you'd know that this is based on the EU variant of the phone, not the same as yours so if you've used the BA boot img for AA then that is probably your issue.

If you've used your own and not changed to the magisk manager I mentioned a few pages back then that could explain it.

But it doesn't matter, you're down now.

Please don't clutter the thread anymore.

Thanks.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] GrandMstrBud:
Didn't realize you were a moderator. The fact of the matter is it did not work so how about instead of coming on here and basically calling me a liar you maybe find out why it wasn't working. I went through it twice and it didn't work. What would I have to gain by making something like this up? Yes the method of updating from 10 to 11 worked but it didn't work after I was updated to 11.

1. Factory reset my device after I updated to 11

2. Bootloader was still unlocked

3. Extracted the boot.img from the payload.bin file on my PC

4. Copied the boot.img from PC to phone along with Magisk Manager

5. Installed Magisk Manager and patched the boot.img file

6. Copied the patched boot.img back to my PC

7. Rebooted into recovery and flashed both slots with the patched boot.img file

8. Launched Magisk Manager and I didn't have root at all

What did I miss?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
1. You didn't need to do that, you'd know that if you'd followed the guide.

2. You made this really unclear originally.

3. Payload from what firmware?

4. That's fine.

5. Which one? Like I said this matters.

6. That's fine.

7. Recovery?? No you did not, it's Fastboot.

8. No you don't have root because you just told me you booted to recovery!!!!

Don't try to be a smart alec with me ok, I know this works and you're the only person being abrupt and causing a scene, saying the guide doesn't work.

I did try to help you but bare in mind that this is the first time that you've actually laid out what you did!!! How can i help if your comments make no sense and leave out critical information.

I was happy to help you but your attitude it awful.

Am I a mod no I'm not, but I know one or two.. reported.

EDIT: Mods please clean thread
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] GrandMstrBud:
It doesn't matter what you think and like I said I've been around since 2007 and always read everything more than once and got through the pages of the forum to make sure no one else had any issues. But you came off firing right away acting like I was making this up. I followed it to a T twice and same thing both time. I've rooted my fair share of phones over a hundred or more so I'm not some newbie coming on here just to troll threads. If I say it doesn't work it doesn't work there's no need to come back and tell me yes the guide works. Well it may work for you, it may have worked for a few others but in this business nothing works 100% of the time Then you want to come off and talk about my attitude when your the one that basically called me a liar I'm going to have an attitude right back. Get over it, nothing is 100$ guaranteed to work. Go ahead and report and I'll do the same.

Did you or did you not say this? "Honestly, in short. I don't believe you, I believe you messed something up or missed something."

And this? "I can't follow what you said in your previous message, but don't message that my guide doesn't work, that is simply not true."

Somebody is having a bad day.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Dude what are you on about??? How long you've been around for makes no difference..

Beside the fact that you should have better manners and realise what information you need to provide in order to get help.

Not THIS DOESN'T WORK!!!

then just sentences that don't make sense and have no structure.

Just stop!!!

Read back over what has been said,, if any of what you've said makes sense to you from your first few posts then it's just you.

I'm a helpful person but I won't just do what I'm told for someone who's honestly rude and ungrateful and has a chip on their shoulder like I owe them a damn living.

Do not post here again, I will not help you or respond.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Basoda:
I'm on OP8 Pro EU Oxygen OS 11.IN11BA

So, I have already updated to 11 and lost root.

I got my own boot.img (Tested working).

I got Magisk Canary 311.

However everytime I try to either flash or boot on the patched boot.img I'm getting stuck with bootloop.

Anyone tried this?

Edit: Fixed it with adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Hi there, I can't update the OP but it won't let me, I did update the OP but it won't let me edit at the moment for some reason, I have a thread open about it but apparently XDA labs is getting changed over to a new app and that's all they could tell me.

So yes the version you need is this one.

https://mega.nz/file/LU9U3aSC#EFJTOKaJ5CN4oXeAa2LzBBUIoY1wqejzi-VyUa3nQq8

Install that and then redo the root process.

Make sure you repatch with this version.

So.....

1. Uninstall magisk.

2.Install the above one.

3. Copy your patched file to phone.

4. Patch it yet again with the above copy of magisk.

5. Copy your new magisk patched file to your computer.

6. Enter Fastboot mode with adb reboot bootloader.

7. Once in Fastboot enter: Fastboot boot magisk_patched

(or whatever you renamed it to, best to use the tab button to cycle through files )

8. Boot the phone (Fastboot reboot)

9. Open magisk manager (you should now have root)

10. Click install / update on magisk (top option not bottom)

11. Direct install

You should now have permanent root, you can test this by rebooting then opening a root application like titanium.

PS: for some reason I can now update the OP.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
OP updated:

Please use this version of magisk manager as it's been seen to work on each different model/ variant

I really wish I'd have got the 9 instead of the 10 myself..

Will be getting the nothing 3 or pixel 9 next year, no more 1+ for me.

Enjoy your rest, apologies for assuming you were a guy, guess it's a little one sided here on XDA.

Goodnight 💤💤💤
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nimueh:
Be glad you didn't get the 9P lol - it has heating issues and gobbles up battery like there's no tomorrow 😨

Compared to my 8P the 9P has almost twice the idle drain and it heats up quite a bit while charging. If I could do it over again I definitely wouldn't get the 9P again.

I had the Pixel 6 for 3 months and hated it ... compared to everything an OP has the Pixel is a very barebone rom. Also the size + weight distribution was very strange and top-heavy - for a man's hand it's probably fine but for my hands it was simply uncomfortable to hold.

No worries about thinking I'm a guy lol ... if I had a dollar for every time that happens to me (here or esp. on Telegram) I'd be living on my own private island somewhere :ROFLMAO:
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Ahh right, that's pants..never knew that about the 9, I avoided it as I had gone straight to the 10, I miss the 8 a lot, wish I'd have stuck with it for a while longer, but most likely would have went with the nothing 1 or like yourself with the pixel 6 (man hands)

Part of me wants HTC to bring out a beast so I can relive the old days (strangely though they are but it's not a beast, well the SOC isn't but the rest is)

I only went for the 9P since it's the last series that has MSM for it. My 8P is still fine too, but I wanted a new "toy" and got this 9P fairly cheap and barely used off eBay.

You can patch directly the ROM flashable zip and Magisk will extract and patch the boot.img instantaneously 🥳

The md5 checksum is different from the 580 I have here, so I'm guessing it's just a renaming issue. Thanks btw :)

Followed your instructions, [MENTION=2880355]dladz[/MENTION]. Kudos on easy to follow instructions. I went from unrooted Oneplus 8 Pro on Open Beta 2 to rooted. Then did the upgrade to Open Beta 3 following your instructions to keep root. I have root, but I lost wifi. I turn it off, it turns itself off. I'm assuming it's something with using the stock oneplus 8 pro ob2 boot image?

<edit>

Yep. Definitely boot image. Found stock ob3 boot image for OnePlus 8 Pro. Patched it with Magisk and fastboot flashed it to both boot slots. then booted it through fastboot and did direct install. On reboot, wifi back and root present. Whew. crisis averted. (^.^)

Again, thanks, dladz. pain free instructions. My caveat was that using the patched ob2 boot image resulted in lack of wifi (and who knows what else) and also every other boot showed the boot animation and then black screen. I had to do PWR+VolUp to reboot the phone..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Sorry man I've been gaming most the night, got roped in.

Glad to help, pal.

I've seen a few people having an issue with the ob's boot img's unfortunately the likes of t mobile have their own firmware, so a good few people from the states are stuck..

Anyway. Glad you're sorted.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
Lol. Product placement. Slick ;)

Carrier agnostic. I have the 8 Pro. So I won't have issues, since Tmo doesn't offer the Pro model.

Which device? Did you grab the right boot IMG for your variant (global, Europe, India)? Did you patch it yourself in magisk or download it from the net and just go?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] piyush7243:
Thanks a lot and for the questions. Op8 Pro Directly downloaded Indian OB3. Took the original boot disk and patched it. Looks like i used the wrong magisk manager version for patching. Tried the magisk version from page 9 and its fixed now.

Hi guys, I'm having trouble rooting after upgrading to 11.IN11BA. Device is IN2020. I had previously rooted when on 10.xx and later upgraded to 11, which unrooted the phone.

I followed the guide in this thread extracting and flashing the boot.img with the magisk version suggested in this thread and it flashed alright in both slots. Opened magisk to check for root and it failed the safety net check.

Any help will be appreciated.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] piyush7243:
Couple of things.

Which magisk manager version you are using

Use the one which is given on 1st page

Uninstall current magisk manager

And install the downloaded version

Change update channel to beta

Do a direct install for version 21.000

Reboot and check

Hello,

I need some help with rooting my OP8 (IN2015), I was on Oxygen 10 rooted then did the OTA update, I tried your instructions to root but can't get it to root and gets stuck at the OP loading screen. I tried the (adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules) to see if i can remove any modules that wasnt removed but i get "/system/bin/sh: magisk: inaccessible or not found". I can only boot or flash back to the original boot.img i exrtracted. Can you please assist?

Any help is appreciated!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Totally agree, not a fan of the dual slot system.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
You must be rooted if safety net is failing?

Go systemless and safety net will work.

Also there are two methods in the OP

1 where you flash to both slots and you're done

1 where you boot the img and then directly install via magisk.. (reboot before installing directly and you'll lose root)

Does anyone know of a way to recover photos deleted after system upgrade?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
No worries man.

Re: recovery

After system upgrade? Did you go from stable to stable?

Problem is your device is in use so it is probably being overwritten,, ideally If it's a hard drive you would cease using it to avoid overwriting. But that's not possible, the android apps for this process aren't very good.

What you could do is mount your device to your pc then use easeus recovery pro.

I've used it before but can't remember if it was on board memory on a phone or not..

Worth a shot
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] _r3w1nd_:

Hey sorry to bother, but: I just can't seem to get it work. I got Oneplus 8 pro finally, updated to android 11 through regular software update.

unlocked bootloader.

installed magisk apk

did things from tutorial, created magisk.img

booting it doesnt work (fastboot boot boot.img) , flashing it doesnt work. (fastboot flash boot magisk.img)

phone boots up normally from fastboot, I don't see any changes. magisk looks the same. used adaway to test - no popup to grant it root access.

help?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Ok so what version of magisk are you using?

Uninstall the one you have.

Make sure USB debugging is on and you have access to your phone via adb and Fastboot and that is authorised.

Install magisk manager from the OP.

Patch your boot img extracted from the Android 11 firmware you downloaded using magisk.

Copy back to your computer and boot the img not flash, but boot.

Then try root and then directly install using magisk.

The guides spot on mate, you must have missed a step
