You can do this, i promise you.

If you have downloaded the firmware and extracted the payload.bin, then extracted boot.img, copied to your phone then patched it with magisk.

All you do is copy it to your computer

Open a CMD prompt in the location of your fastboot / adb files with the magisk_patched file within that folder and run

fastboot boot magisk_patched.

The phone will reboot

Open magisk and click install, direct install, then reboot.

That is all you do.

Read the first post in this thread for references.

You can follow the flash commands from the pixel thread but please try not to mix the two up.

I would definitely recommend a new thread in Q+A if you still don't manage it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Coldtrain6989XD:
it won't reboot but I have the magisk_patched image. It detects the device just won't run the command it finds it as foreign

Lovely, good luck.

Once you've done it you'll be surprised how easy it is.

Root is ok and I succes hide manager :)

So now , I can update to 0.4.4 without brook something? and re boot with new magisk_patched ? thank :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Just follow the section that says 4th

This:

4th

Update from 11 stable to 11+ stable whilst retaining root

For these guides the version used, was canary or beta, simply change the channel in magisk settings to canary / beta then select install / update:

11.0.1.1

Magisk Manager - Magisk (Canary) version: 1469b82a (21101)

11.0.2.2

Boot img patched using Magisk (Canary) version: 1469b82a (21101)

11.0.3.3

Boot img patched using Magisk beta

11.0.4.4

Boot Img patched using Magisk beta

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.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] RMarques:
Sup guys, it's been a while. I'm willing to upgrade to the latest OB6. Is it the same drill? To update Magisk and Magisk manager to the latest version and to follow the 4th step on this guide?

(Obviously, I'm rolling with the previous OB!)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Aye shouldn't be any different story, currently using beta version of magisk manager.

Update magisk manager, Install system update from settings, don't reboot, install to inactive slot in magisk, reboot.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] RMarques:
@dladz

I just realized I did update Magisk itself through Magisk manager, prior to install the latest OB6. I haven't rebooted yet...did I messed up?!? Facepalm

Edit: I'll never try to do this at 3am again!

Everything seems to be fine!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mandraquinet:
Hi,

I'm on 10.0.3.3 and want to update to 10.0.4.4.

I'm already rooted and I've also Hide Magisk and changed package name.

About point 4th, I've understand to disable all magisk modules but shall I also disable Magisk Hide and changed Manager to its original name ?

Thanks for your help !
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Definitely no to hide.

In regards to the change name of magisk, I've never used it so couldn't say, I think it'll be fine personally as you're only flashing a boot IMG and then patching it, so couldn't see it being an issue.

If you're worried then change the name change back but I think it'll be ok.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] monty13:
Hey guys, does anyone have the 11.0.4.4 IN11AA boot.img?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
No only BA I'm afraid.

I think theres a thread for AA.

You can use the guide to extract your own but I won't post links for AA as I do not own the device.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mandraquinet:
Works fine, thank you !

I kept Magisk Hide and do not changed Manager to its original name, only disable Magisk modules.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] monty13:
Thanks - my internet has been a bit spotty, and was having trouble downloading the image. Trying to extract the payload, will upload images if I'm successful

EDIT: Long, arduous process later - I'm successfully running rooted 11.0.4.4 INA11AA. The incremental update I downloaded wouldn't extract, so I fastboot booted a modded boot.img from 11.0.2.2, and then did a direct install via Magisk (this was an interesting process, I am currently in the middle of nowhere, and old boot.img doesn't like the wifi chip, so I had to go stand on the side of a hill to get enough cellular reception for Magisk to do it's bit)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Yep the boot image affects quite a few things..

I'll see if I can get you one. Bare with me.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] arvylas:
Can I update my rooted device using the regular OTA from system update or it must be the full OTA from oxygen updater? I got the regular one in system settings but oxygen updater states that I'm in the latest firmware.

Does latest magisk beta work with 4.4?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Version I'm using in the image below, so yep should be fine.

If you're already rooted you should really use a full update, so just use oxygen updater as it's 100% easier.

This is all in the OP
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Can't find 4.4 for the AA.

Says coming soon so the full update may not be available..see if oxygen updater has it yet.

If you turn on advanced mode then you can redownload firmwares..

Edit: scratch that, only 2.2 is available.

You could try to boot the patched image I put up in the OP but DO NOT flash it, if after booting it fails to boot.

Just force a power down and your phone will boot as normal.

Again, don't flash it, just boot.

11.0.4.4 has improved battery for me massively.

Screenshot. I had my phone plugged in briefly, but I'd still be on way over 25% If I hadn't.

8 hours 23 minutes.

31% left.

Quite impressed by that.

Playing that game threes for ages too.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] chriv:
I'm having a similar issue. I didn't realize I got an 11.0.4.4 OTA update, and I patched my 11.0.2.2 boot.img and flashed it to my bootloader and now my WiFi is broken. I'm pretty desperately looking for the 11.0.4.4.IN11AA full update package (not on the OnePlus site yet) so that I can extract the boot.img from the payload.bin. If I can get the boot.img for 11.0.4.4.IN11AA or the entire package, than I should be able to 1) fix the problem, and 2) re-root.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] chriv:
Oxygen Updater is usually easier, but they still have 11.0.2.2 in the main channel, and Open Beta 6 in the beta channel. So for now, fixing 11.0.4.4.IN11AA is not an option with Oxygen Updater (unfortunately). I will be unable to fix my WiFi on my phone until I can get the full 11.0.4.4.IN11AA package (North America). Oxygen Updater will not downgrade from 11.0.4.4 to 11.0.2.2.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
I'm quite surprised that you even got 4.4 on AA no one else seems to have it?

There must have been a boot.img packaged with it, with that in mind you could have extracted the boot.img

I believe @FreshlyBaked 420 may have a boot.img for 4.4 but no full update..

Could be just what you need.

PS: no you cannot downgrade using normal update methods.

You'd need MSM or maybe fastboot ROMs to do that.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] chowdog123:
Im on 11.0.4.4 IN11AA, updated via OTA. I extracted the boot img from the incremental update zip file, but it doesnt let me patch it on magisk.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] chriv:
I wish I had noticed that I had accidently upgraded to 4.4 OTA. I wouldn't have patched the wrong boot.img. I truly wish that OnePlus wouldn't roll out OTAs without putting the full package on their website at the same time. I have considered trying the following:

Wiping my data from recovery

Booting into the bootloader

Extacting all of the individual IMG files from 11.0.2.2.IN11AA using the payload dumper script

Flashing all of the individual IMG files individually using fastboot (similar to the way the flashboot -all batch file does this for Google Nexus devices way back when)

However, this seems reckless and dangerous to me, so I probably won't do it. I think the safest thing to do is wait for the full package of the 11.0.4.4.IN11AA, even though that means that my new phone can't use WiFi and can't make phone calls (I've moved my SIM back to my OnePlus 6T for now). I will anxiously watch this and other sites for the 11.0.4.4.IN11AA full package.

P.S. I did run the payload.bin dump of 11.0.2.2.IN11AA out of curiosity, and there are a LOT of IMG files, many for partitions that I've never heard of:

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
I wouldn't suggest you should flash those partitions, no definitely don't, but now you know what could potentially be at fault with the incorrect boot image.

Give freshlybaked420 a shout I think he has the 4.4 global boot image.

If so problem solved
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] arvylas:
From what I understand the mentioned user flashed 4.4 with a 2.2 boot image.

What I want to do is flash the full eu OTA over the global I currently have and then install magisk.

What am I missing here?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
No you can't do that mate. That's called rebranding or changing region.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] PieceKeepr:
I'm new to the OnePlus and the rule on any previous phone was never take an OTA update and wait for the dev to put out a new version. I'm running the stock OS so as I understand it (I hope I'm right) if I update I need to flash Magisk again before I reboot and that will maintain permanent root. Am I correct on this?

My second question is how are y'all getting the update? I have been getting a notification for it for a few days but tapping the notification does nothing. When I check system updates in settings it does not show anything at all.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Really???

So hang on you've got a global device and the EU firmware flashed.??

And everything works.?

If so I'd make a thread..a lot of people have failed doing just that..

Can you send me a screen shot here?

I'd be interested to see what it reads, device / firmware under "about phone "
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Crazy.. I'd say get a thread made up and a decent guide.

People will benefit from this
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] arvylas:
I have a Chinese version (IN2020 ordered from banggood) which came with a global rom. I flashed the full OTA following your 4th step. From what I've seen isn't that uncommon. A few users have tried it at least. I live in Europe- Greece so it makes sense I suppose but from what I read the 5g bands are hard coded even though the hardware is exactly the same so I'm not sure if I achieved anything.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Brilliant. 👍

From what I've read, people who've wanted to get away from different regions to more update friendly ones haven't been able to achieve that by the means that you have.

Iirc even the MSM tool can't do this.

From what I read I believed it was a lost cause so assumed it was a dead end and seeing as I didn't ever need to change region myself I never looked into it.

The fact that you've done it so easily I find fascinating that no one else has widely mentioned it and that I'd blindly accepted it wasn't easily possible, apologies for that.

Either way, kudos for what you've done.

I can clearly see you've got a 2020 and you've got BA installed lol.

Nice one.

When you say flashed, you literally downloaded the EU version and locally upgraded?

PS: Personally I don't use 5G, I don't think anybody really needs it, 4G can achieve ridiculous speeds and for a mobile device i think that's plenty. Having an 800Mb downstream is overkill for 99% of people, it transmits and receives worse too. Plus it's just an extra cost. If there was a 4G version available in the UK I'd have opted for it.

For the record I do have 5G but I never turn it on
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] arvylas:
Yes that's exactly what I did. Downloaded from an xda article and locally updated with system updater.

I don't get it either about 5g. In my country only a few places have 5g currently so it makes even less sense. Btw our 4g speeds are significantly lower than most eu countries and the us. Usually around 100mbps and always below 200. It's mostly a marketing trick at least for the mobile industry.

I can't seem to get Magisk to work on the latest update (Oxygen OS 11.0.4.4 - EU IN11BA -IN2023)

I tried patching my own boot.img and the one in the OP of this thread, it just boot loops after booting the boot.img.

Anyone having similar issues?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Are you flashing or booting?

Have you followed the instructions?

You absolutely should be on beta, version is 21.4 I believe.

Are you using Windows 7 or 10?

Usb 2 or 3?

You have to match the magisk version I use or download the stock boot IMG from the OP then patch it yourself and then BOOT it then install directly

Do not flash unless you exhaust everything.

Tbh it can be trial and error for some people, I've no idea why I've installed magisk and booted/ flashed 100s of times and not once had an issue?

We're you rooted before your update to 4.4
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Yea it's hit and miss here too. I've had a 550Mb speed test and a 5Mb speed test, so sporadic.

In regards to your 4G 100Mb- 200Mb is absolutely more than ok for nearly anybody.

150Mb / 8 = 18.75MB/ps

If you need more than that then you're in a niche category of user.

Of course it's nice to have faster downloads but would you pay the price that service providers are forcing? I wouldn't.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] PieceKeepr:
Having done some more reading I think I might be wrong about my first assessment. I think the method I mentioned is only for full version updates but not incremental updates? Am I right or wrong? If I'm right what is the best method to take the incremental update and maintain root? I'm seeing people mention various methods and to be honest some of them look kind of sketchy.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] iNewbcake:
I have followed it to the letter, also not my first time doing this. Tried both beta and canary

Windows 10, tried usb 2 and 3. Booting the image. I was rooted before I updated, also with magisk obviously.

When I patch the image myself it has a different sha-1 hash than yours, which is a bit strange.

Not too bothered atm, it is very strange as with every other updated I've always just patched my own image and it was fine 🤷

I think I understand the correct process and decided to go for it but now I'm getting an error. Any idea what is causing this? I tried turning off the VPN, rebooting and clearing the phone cache but it still won't install.

Solved: I had to uninstall Magisk.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
If you've read if and you've rooted before and you were rooted before updating then why did you not just click install to inactive slot as per the guide?

There is not need to patch, boot or flash in that case. It's the easiest way.

Right now, unless you removed all modules from magisk prior to updating its more than likely magisk modules causing you to not obtain root again.

Again on the guide at the bottom there is a command to remove modules, I'd recommend running this and then just redownload the patched boot image and then boot it, try several times..as I've seen it fail on the 1st then succeed thereafter.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Yep I'd always recommend doing your own it seems to work, I've never once had a problem booting or flashing an image, the files I upload have been redownloaded on another computer and the md5 checked for integrity, so the images are fine.. It's usually either human error or the device.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
In regards to installing AA incremental updates, make a thread about it...pop a guide there for people to follow..this thread is for BA / EU, I don't have an AA decide so can't/won't support it.

Don't mind helping out but would rather it didn't take over..

👍
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
If you've got an AA phone then I've no idea pal..I only deal with BA, I tried to help someone but there was no full update so I stopped..

There may be a guide for AA incremental updates and rooting but this isn't the place for it.

If you're on BA then you can simply follow the guide with the 4TH header.

In that regard there's no need to remove magisk at all.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] PieceKeepr:
I'm still trying to figure out all of these letter designations and it took me a minute to understand what you meant by AA phone. I really Ike this phone but it is SO MUCH DIFFERENT than what I'm used to.

Sorry for the clutter, I didn't realize there were that many variants requiring different methods.

I followed your instructions in the 4th section and it worked perfectly after I removed Magisk. Updated, rooted and running good.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Don't worry it's cool 👍

So are you on BA or AA?

IN2020 China

IN2023 Europe/Asia - BA

IN2021 India - DA (I think)

IN2025 Global USA - AA

I think DA is India and there's a Chinese variant too..

So are you on AA and you installed an incremental update?

If it was BA then just disable magisk modules .

Download the update using oxygen updater

After installation, don't reboot just open magisk then click install to inactive slot.

Then reboot and re-enable magisk modules.

I've not used any incremental updates on my device as I've always had access to full updates.

It can be confusing but just stick with your device type and any universal guides like the ones in the OP
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] PieceKeepr:
I have the IN2025 which from what I can tell is an AA U.S. version.

I uninstalled the few Magisk modules I had. Rebooted.

Then I uninstalled Magisk.

Downloaded and installed the OTA update and reinstalled Magisk.

Rebooted.

Before doing all of those steps the update failed to download every time.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Ah ok, I see. Yea it's odd the way they they offer the incremental and not the full? Quite weird.. Tend to only do that in the US.

I got my numbers mixed up too.

IN2020 China

IN2023 Europe/Asia

IN2021 India

IN2025 Global USA

I'd probably wait for the full update myself, too much of a faff
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] iNewbcake:
I had in fact, flashed to the inactive slot. And I've already tried evertyhing in the thread, else I wouldn't ask.

Might be a module somewhere yes, wasn't aware that modules persisted through swapping boot images.

Seems to be working now, after patching my own image multiple times. Honestly, I don't know. Glad it worksn ow
