Is there an easy way to return back to stock kernel and keep root?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] tfae:
I'm confused with how amazed you are. lol

I always thought that changing region was a common thing to do. I did it on the first day I got my 8 Pro IN2020 😅
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] tfae:
I would uninstall Magisk, flash the stock boot.img and then root as normal.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Did you? Great.

Maybe you should have made a thread so others could.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
several ways to. But this wouldn't be the place to ask about it.

Just flash the stock boot img would be the easiest.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] tfae:
I don't think that a thread is needed. Just use the MSM download tool for the region you want and you're done.

I mean, many of us bought the IN2020 version from stores like Bangood. Being the Chinese version it would come with HydrogenOS from factory, but Bangood itself sends them previously flashed with OOS Global.

This is proof enough that changing regions is possible. :)

EDIT: it is even mentioned on this thread that crossflashing is possible. You were on that thread too talking about it haha

I bought my 1+8p from an online vendor in australia. My phone identifies as a 2020 which means it it Chinese but I have been using AA which is called Global. I'm in the USA
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
I didn't change region.

I took one official update around that time which was like last year?

Then persist partition issues were rife, it was from this point I never looked back at it.

Possible? Sure. Without issues? No. Not from what I saw at the time.

I stopped watching that thread around that time.

Hence why a thread would have made more sense, I doubt I'm the only person who looked at that then thought nah and never looked back.

One of the major issues on XDA and other threads is clarity. Hence why this thread I made exists, there is a plethora of content on XDA hidden away behind searches, or several searches, a lot of people would simply visit a devices forum and look for root for example yet either find something extremely minimal and barely explained or outdated or badly named, or overly explained or too many then get ridiculed for not finding it by people who've spent tonnes of time in those threads with thousands of posts, people visit this thread all the time, every single reason why root won't work exists in these pages, but questions are still asked, some search some don't, some don't know how.

Doesn't matter now anyway.

Bottom line is I wouldnt flash the global or any other now as the 2023 version gets updated regularly.

Glad that it works for whoever's flashed it.

Not sure what you would want as a guide.

I updated to 11.0.4.4.IN11AA without realizing it OTA. I patched the 11.0.2.2.IN11AA boot.img using Magisk and flashed it to my boot partition. This broke WiFi and phone calls. To fix it, I had to get the original 11.0.4.4.IN11AA from another member on this forum and flash it to my boot partition. It got fixed the same way it got broken.

The wrong boot.img equals broken stuff. The right boot.img equals stuff working.

What I did only fixes a stupid mistake I made if you are running the same version and made the same mistake.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arcangelo88:
Hi, I have the Oxygen OS 11.0.4.4 - EU IN11BA and I want to install the patched boot.img. Should I use Magisk (Canary) version: 1469b82a (21101)?

Or possible use the 2nd method

Method 2

Flashing to both slots

1. Obtain a patched boot img for your device variant or download one of mine from the foot of this guide or if you've just performed the above guide you should already have a functional one, copy this file to your fastboot folder on your computer

**NOTE - Again the above suggested downloads are for the EU/ UK variant- if you have another model / firmware please use that instead, if you did not obtain the boot.img from a firmware and patch it yourself, you will need to patch it again in magisk manager, to avoid a bootloop

2. Reboot your phone to fastboot and connect to your computer.

Command: adb reboot bootloader

3. Open a command prompt on your computer and navigate to your ADB/fastboot folder.

4. Type the following.

fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched

Press enter.

fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched

Press enter

fastboot reboot

Press enter

6. Your phone should now boot, open magisk and verify you're rooted.

Thanks

Don't worry about it. I'm not arsed
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
@Arcangelo88

I haven't been using Canary for a while only the beta version.

Ideally it's really what works for you but ....

If you want to use the patched image I have uploaded then you should match it with the version it was patched with, which is the beta version of magisk.

So just install magisk, change the channel to beta, update magisk to the beta version, then just use the boot method to get it on there which is method 1 in the guide.

Make sure you install directly in magisk afterwards and you'll be fine.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
OP UPDATED: moved magisk version used from root retaining guide to main notes.

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

I tried flashing with fastboot the patched boot img for the eu 4.4 version over my custom kernel but I lost both Wi-Fi and cellular for some reason. I'm on stock eu 4.4.

Wouldn't that work normally?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
More than likely the kernel although I've seen this issue when the wrong image is flashed.

Also why did you flash it instead of booting?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
You'd need to have magisk installed in order to make use of root..

Ideally you want to have the same version of magisk installed that the patched image was created with.

Yes it should work but please, try to boot the image, try several times if it fails at first.

Flashing makes it permanent so if there's a fault booting then it's relatively safe to assume that flashing could cause issues too.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] arvylas:
I obviously tried booting at first but I didn't notice that the Wi-Fi and calls didn't work. As soon as I saw it booting fine and not boot looping I flashed it and realized that those 2 didn't work.

I was already rooted with latest beta , 4.4 eu rom and omega kernel so in theory there shouldn't be any problem.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
It's not obvious to me at all, you've said you were on stock and now you say you're on the beta??

So what image did you use to root? And on what OS? Stock or beta, the difference is huge.

If you've used my images on the open beta then thats more than likely the issue, plus you've got the added problem of a custom kernel?

Revert to stock. I don't deal with beta ROMs, that's not what this threads for mate.. And it's almost certainly the issue here.. if the above is correct.

Anyone got a link to Full OTA 11.0.4.4.IN11AA Global?

I'm currently on 11.0.2.2 and haven't been able to update to 11.0.3.3

EDIT: NVM, it seems that OnePlus servers suck. It's not the first time I get errors like this. Finally got the update.

Worked for me.

Software Upgrade - OnePlus.com

Get the latest OxygenOS updates for your device.OxygenOS is always evolving. Learn about the latest features and improvements, and get even more out of your device.

www.oneplus.com

Updated to 11.0.4.4 via local update after:

1. Downloading

2. Moving to root and renaming (take away .jar extension so it's .zip)

3. Follow instructions at first post of thread (thanks again OP) to remove all magisk modules/restart, update locally, don't restart, and flash to inactive slot via magisk install.

All seems well. Except for some reason the phone still thinks it needs the ota incremental update... Maybe it'll eventually go away haha. Even if I go to system updates it asks if I want to download/install... But it's confirmed to be on 11.0.4.4 under status/settings so good to go with January 2021 security updates.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] arvylas:
I meant rooted with latest beta magisk, 21.4.

I'm the guy with in2020 that flashed the eu rom and worked. Lol.

Latest stock 4.4 eu rooted

Omega kernel.

Magisk 21.4

Either booting or flashing caused problems.

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Hahah ah yea. Soz it's hard to keep track.

Ok so if you're on the 2020 and you did have functionality.

What may have changed since then?

When it was working, did you have omega installed?

You could grab the stock boot IMG from the OP and then patch that with the version of magisk you're using then boot it and if it's working.

Click install directly in magisk, avoid flashing anything until your boot has worked, don't reboot or you'll lose the image and it'll revert to whatever was flashed last.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
You should never ever need to download from their website, simply use the oxygen updater app.

That being said.....

This is not a thread for the AA device firmware, this is for magisk, payload dumper and rooting.

There is a thread for that already, please direct questions there.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] chriv:
I had the exact same issues (no calls and no WiFi) when my boot.img was from a different version of my OS than I was running (happened by accident when I didn't notice if was running a new update than I had the full software for). The solution probably is to use payload dumper to extract the boot.img from the full version of the software download that you installed on your phone and flash it to your boot partition. If this works, then you can patch that boot.img to root. This will only work if you are still running the same version that you flashed.

Thankfully, 11.0.4.4.IN11AA is finally available on both the OnePlus site and Oxygen Updater. So if you are already running 11.0.2.2.IN11AA, 11.0.3.3.IN11AA, or 11.0.4.4.IN11AA, you could just download the full 11.0.4.4.IN11AA software and install it, which should probably repair the issue as well. Since I have an IN2025 (Global phone), I cannot guarantee your results on running the Global version on your IN2020 (but you did indicate that you were already running the Global ROM).
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Apparently his actually worked? A BA firmware.

As you say the AA is now out so you're both all good now.

Hello,

today I updated magisk inside magisk manager on my oneplus 8 pro with 11.0.4.4.

After that i ran into a bootloop. the device reboots after a few seconds at the oneplus bootlogo.

i tried magisk safemode but still bootloop.

then i flashed the patched 11.0.4.4 img, but no luck. same issue and bootloop with stock.img.

any idea how to fix this?

thanks
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Safe mode should let you boot

If not then boot the patched boot image

If that still fails then just boot the stock boot image.

What were you on?

What did you update to?

And lastly what modules do you/ did you have installed if you remember?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Lycidias:
I updated magisk 21.4 to 22 inside the app.

Safe magisk boot didn't work, flashing stock boot.img either.

Seems like custom kernels cause the boot loop: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/3900#issuecomment-784850059

Seems like it is a custom kernel issue because it's closed already

I tried fastboot rom but after that my phone was completely dead. I successfully recovered via MSM unbrick tool
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] tfae:
Indeed. I'm using the stock kernel and the update caused no issues.

Give the beta version a try.

Change to beta, re-patch the image, then reflash it to both slots.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
If you've gone up that far then it's either a case of downgrading magisk to a slightly earlier version or obtaining a boot.img from another downloaded firmware, could be corrupt..

I can't think of anything else.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
The version I used is the one I AM using for root.

As I've said in the OP the variant of the phone i have is the EU/UK phone.

I would recommend making your own though and patching it with Canary, not version 21.

Installing the patched boot img via magisk prior to the OTA being installed is the preferred way as it's the way I've done it several times to retain root.

I've only had to flash magisk patched images once when I initially rooted my phone back on 10.5.5

People are having multiple issues with patched images whether they're making them themselves or obtaining from me or elsewhere.

I'm not 100% yet what the issue is but I'm guessing at this point that it's the magisk version Vs the model.

Pre patched images aren't a great idea, I haven't seen any of them work yet, I only uploaded the image so if people really wanted to then they could use it..

I was initially on an older version of magisk canary than I am now. My guess is that this is why it's not taking. The image if successfully flashed and no boot loop follows means it's in place..

So just change magisk manager versions until it matches up.

I'm on stock kernel mate, although I haven't updated to magisk 22 as of yet, the way I see it is if it isn't broken don't fix it.

MSM is always a great way back.

Just wondering, did you flash the stock boot.img to both slots?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Lycidias:
Safeboot did not work so I flashed stock boot.img to a and also to b. I also tried it with patched.img to both slots.

Same issue here with stock kernel here. Running Magisk 22 with 11.0.4.4.IN11BA. Flashing the patched boot.img works just fine, but after that, the device runs into a boot loop. It crashes immediately after the boot animation. Reflashing the stock boot.img "fixes" the issue just fine.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Good to know guys.

Just to clarify are you referring to beta or Canary?

Seeing that you're all on different kernels then I can only assume that this is caused by magisk 22.

I usually update to the latest but I'll pop in a warning until this is fixed.

If anyone who installed 22 could provide a specific build number that would be great.

I'll see if I still have the version I used.

Edit: I'll upload the version I used

21.4 (21400) which is a beta variant.

I haven't tested it yet but it's possible that if you really must update to the latest version then Canary may not bootloop. I could be wrong there.

Personally I would just stick with 21.4 (21400)

It just works
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
*******NOTE********

DO NOT INSTALL VERSION: 22.0 (22000)

YOU WILL BOOTLOOP.

If you do install it, flash the latest stock boot image and then roll back magisk.

The latest functional version of Magisk used on the latest beta at time of writing is 21.4 (21400)

Please avoid updating to the latest magisk above and seen in the screen shot in this post.

Currently, if I flash back stock img, I lose root and then I can't flash uninstaller
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
You can boot if you boot/flash stock image right?

So uninstall 22 and obtain 21 then boot the patched image and install directly from within magisk

Install this manager instead of 22

dam it

first i updated to magisk22 than ota to 11044 .

boot takes more dann double now and wifi is not switching on.

to solve it i deinstalled magisk complett than complete Ota 11044.

than i tryed with magisk 8.07 & batched boot downloaded here -> but its same.

something is not ok with magisk

now i install ota 11044 again to have wifi. but no root - have to wait for an solution
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sn0opy:
I was on beta and I think I even had the latest Magisk Manager/App but haven't updated to latest OSS and thus haven't updated the boot image either.

If you downgrade back to the pre-22 version: how do you actually patch the boot image? The "install" button which usually provides the manual patching option, is grayed out for me. Once I update to version 22, it's available again.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Poesini:
When installing Manager 8.0.7, while using stock boot img, I have no root, so I can't flash Magisk zips (the Uninstaller in this case), so I am fd up
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
What mate?? No!!! Lol.

You updated the magisk manager and subsequently magisk itself.

So..

1. Boot/ flash the stock boot image to get the device to run.

2. Install 8.0.7 magisk manager.

3. Reboot to fastboot and boot/flash the patched magisk image from the OP

4. Do not update magisk

@dladz have you actually updated the patched boot image for 11.0.4.4? MEGA still says the file was added and updated at the start of Feb. That image still results in a crash even with the old Magisk Manager app installed.
