Haha all good ? Nice one.

Easy right??

Glad you're up and running.

Let me know if you get stuck again 👍
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
Sesh, i wish I had found your guide earlier lol, it's so easy to understand. But i have a few questions.

- I assume i should skip the update from Android 10 to 11 part because my OnePlus 8 pro is already android 11.

- Should i take the SIM card out of the phone before starting the unlocking bootloader/rooting process??

- If i ever want to update the phone, should I flash the stock rom instead of the patched one following the same process?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
All in the OP mate.. there's a section outlined for each circumstance.

I made the 10 to 11 section as I was on 10 at the time that was the first one.

Then onwards to 11-11+

No need to remove the SIM.

The part you require is under the section marked 4th 11- 11+

Updating the phone is quite simple..

Just follow what I wrote above to the previous user that's also in the OP.

Bare in mind that the ROM isn't actually a ROM it's always a stock ROM, it's only the boot image you're altering from stock boot to patched boot.

If you go back a few posts I explain this in more detail.

Ohh, i think i get it now. Then i still can't find the stock boot image for the 11.0.8.8IN11BA version, how do I get it?? I downloaded one but i think it's the stock rom not the boot image
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
I dont know how to delete a comment so I left it this way, pls ignore this comment lol
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
Nevermind i think i did it, i downloaded the rom for the eu version 11.0.8.8 (if im not mistaken the european version is the 11.0.8.8IN11BA and IN2023) from here https://www.getdroidtips.com/oneplus-8-pro-stock-firmware/, then used payload dumper and now there's a boot.img which is 98.304kb
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Ok so firstly, lol just read the OP :D

2nd I normally upload a patched and unpatched image for each release, but as I'm currently using Evo X, I haven't this time.

But I shall, probably today.

Oxygen updater is the best source for the latest firmware, especially BA/EU

Next the boot image, yep you do indeed use the payload dumper, it was also in the OP. Extraction is quite easy.

Next do not flash it, once patched.

Just boot it, then install directly.

Well done I think?

U all good?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
Its all good now, thank you so much!!! Im sorry i made you so many questions, im the type of person that overthinks everything a lot so even tho i read it on the OP i still needed someone to confirm if everything was correctly done.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
It's quite alright, I completely get it, just go over the guide a few times...make your own even on paper and if you get the jist of it then it'll stick, making guides is a really helpful way of remembering things.

You'll never forget then.

Glad you're sorted 😉👍
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
Last time i tried to root my phone it was a huawei mate 9 and i bricked it, but apparently it was a problem of the phone, not because i messed up in the process (or at least i think so, because even tho I unlocked the bootloader and used twrp to flash the root zip they still repaired it and I didnt pay at all so the warranty still covered it somehow)

So that's why I asked that many questions sorry :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Lol it's ok man don't worry, better to be sure.

It's almost impossible to brick a OnePlus, MSM is an amazing tool, but it will relock your bootloader, I had the p20 Pro myself, they pulled the bootloader unlocks shortly after that, I'll never buy another Huawei or Honor again, they're not android anymore IMHO.

The method you used for the Huawei is also valid on OnePlus phones but as we're missing twrp on 11 it simply can't work.

So affecting the boot.img is our only way, unless as was in your case you're already rooted, retaining it is quite easy as you now know.

If when the time comes you lose root (and you might, it happens for many reasons) let me know if you get stuck, but for the most part the OP can set you on the right track.

Ask if you're not sure.

👍
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
Nevermind I solved the problem
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
What was it? Always worth leaving the solution in with an edit for others in case they have the same issue

Up t you
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
I downloaded the full OTA using oxygen updater (had to activate advanced mode) and after doing the payload dumper step the boot.img i got was different than the one i had before (the one i got from the payload.bin of the rom I downloaded from the internet). But it was my fault, it was the same file, idek why i thought it was a different one.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
Im about to start the whole process btw, if I finish today i'll tell you if all went good or if i ended up turning my phone into a brick
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
The boot.img is output to the 'output' folder.

Wait until the process is complete, the window will complete and close.

You can then copy this in to your phone and then make a Magisk patched image..

1. Copy the boot image to your phone

2. Open Magisk then click install.

3. You'll see a menu, click patch an image.

4. Once complete itll out a file to 'Downloads'

Keep this somewhere safe incase you need to root again.

But in your case you obviously don't need to install it or boot / flash it
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Which process?? Extracting / creating a patched boot image?

It's completely risk free, you won't be changing your system or partitions in any way.

Edit: sorry I got mixed up.

Rooting?

You'll be fine it's not hard. Are you already rooted??

Or are you 100% stock with a locked bootloader?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
Im trying right now to unlock the bootloader, my phone is in fastboot mode but when i write in the cmd "fastboot devices" it doesnt detect the phone
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Type fastboot then press tab..then type devices and press enter
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
When i do that it´s just a blank space in the cmd
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Not sure if you found it or not but this is my in depth bootloader unlocking guide too.

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-unlocking-bootloader-rooting-from-start-to-finish-updated.4151823/

Reply here id say though.

A few things.

Connect your phone to your computer whilst in system, turn on usb debugging in developer options, make sure OEM unlocking is turned on..

Also you have got to be on windows 10, 7 does not work in FB mode.

Once you get to an unlocked phone. Jump back to this guide on this thread as the files there are now dated.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
One more thing you need to be prompted on your screen so that you have ADB access then fastboot access, it's a prompt on your phone when you first access your phone with usb debugging turned on.

There's a checkbox on screen. Hard to miss it. But that has to be done first

That's then a verified device.

Or it could be your driver's/fastboot driver.

Hopefully not
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
I'm following that guide actually, I've tried what you just said and still doesn't appear on fastboot devices. I have oem unlock on and usb debugging. And the adb devices part works fine too.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Oh ok?

And are you on 7 or 10?

Also you do know that you're going to lose everything on your phone when you unlock your bootloader right?

Full wipe.

In regards to fastboot I would re-obtain a fastboot / ADB package, no need for the SDK just get a smaller one and put it in C:/ADB

Much easier.

Also change USB port from 3.0 to 2.0 make sure your cable is the warp one.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
I'm on windows 10, im using the cable that came with the phone, i've already done a backup.

And i've downloaded the adb and fastboot package from another place too, it still doesnt work :(
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Can't really help any more than that mate

Why not go ahead and type in the unlock command?

fastboot oem unlock
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
I've tried, it just says <waiting for device>, and nothing happens
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Ok ok. And the driver within windows?

What does it say?

Do you have a second windows machine you can test?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
Idk what do you mean with the drivers within windows, but i checked and i have the latest drivers for the oneplus 8 pro, and i might try it in my macbook
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Grab this tool

https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-op8p-t...ck-twrp-factory-image-stock-recovery.4103509/

NOTE** I am not a fan of this software, you can break your device with certain functions that no longer work. But! The drivers for ADB/fastboot will work fine.. So can be installed from there without issue.

In regards to drivers you need to go to devices and printers then connect your phone.

If you see a device connect just mention it's name here.

Then try this with fastboot mode and see what it says then within devices and printers.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
It's strange I've never had an issue with ADB fastboot .

Quite odd..

Might want to check a specialised thread about it then pop back when sorted..

If you can isolate the driver for fastboot then I think you'll be fine
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
I'm sorry i'm late, it somehow worked on my macbook, its now wiping the data, thank you for the help. I hope the root process now work on my windows tho
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Well no it won't as fastboot isn't working. You need to be able to boot an image..

Stick on the Mac if it's working there.. it's cool if you were able to oem unlock then you can fastboot boot.

Next things to do

Set up your phone, loosely, no need for pins / fingerprints yet.

Get developer options turned on

Turn on usb debugging and make sure the prompt appears, I'm guessing you've seen this now or you wouldn't be at this stage.

Then get your boot image extracted from payload.bin, patch it, copy it out and boot it, then make it permanent.

You'll be done in a few minutes
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
Is it okay if i patched the img before the bootloader unlocking part??
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Of course.

So long as it's the same version is Magisk.

V23 right?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Silence is good...I can tell.🤣🤣🤣
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
Im sorry yeah, its V23.0 😂. It's just that i'm not familiar with the mac os command thing. For now its the same as on windows but with "./" before, for example "./adb devices". I hope everything is like that 🤣
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
I have confidence in you.

If you can unlock a bootloader then this will be a breeze.

Remember you're booting not flashing.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
I was so afraid because i didnt know if the command would work on mac or not but just adding ./ before the commands of your guide worked. I did the fastboot boot magiskpatched thing and then installed it with magisk and rebooted. That's it right??
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Haha you're welcome, happy to help.

Ok so quick question for a sanity check.

Did you direct install once it booted after booting the patched image??

Did you flash or boot?

If it's the latter then you'll need to open Magisk then click install and then click direct install...

If you've already done this then you're sorted
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Soon as I heard you had unlocked the bootloader I knew you'd be fine..

Wasn't so hard was it?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arksuga:
It's all good, I've rebooted the phone several times and still have root access, I did the direct access step too. It was way easier than rooting Huawei phones for instance, the only "hard" part was the Mac os terminal because I wasnt sure if the commands would work just by adding ./ in the beginning. But it ended up working so I'm glad I tried. Thank you so much again!!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
No worries man. Enjoy..

You should now give Evo X a go.

It has everything, including the 8 pro camera and gallery..it's a beast of a ROM.

Basically, kernel flashing gone wrong, flashing stock kernel fails, resetting fails, LOS recovery fails, and now can't even boot to EDL for MSM (instantly goes to bootloader the moment a cable is inserted).

I'll reach out to you after work. Cheers.

Idk what happened, but suddenly everything google related is updating right now, can't complain I guess lol 😂
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
For kernel just boot a stock or patched boot image. Depending on which ROM you're on..if it's a custom then it'd be that boot image..

Hi All,

I was rooted on 11.0.7.7IN11AA I did the OTA update for 11.0.8.8 and then went into Magisk and tried the install on inactive slot. This caused my phone not to boot, just hang in the boot image. I managed to get the stock boot image back, and have my phone running again fine, except it isn't rooted.

I have tried boot with the patched boot img (my phone is 11.0.8.8.IN11AA and I've grabbed the right one from another thread.) and it just hangs on boot and won't load. I have to reboot with stock boot to get my phone running again. Not sure how to debug or work out what is happening.

I've read about modules with Magisk etc, but not sure how to remove them or start again. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
The OP has a guide on how to remove modules using ADB.

This is it:

1. Connect your phone to your computer.

2. Reboot the phone, then during the boot animation enter this command via ADB.

adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules

3. Allow to boot, modules will be removed and root should then be active.

Otherwise a safe mode boot will disable Magisk from being used until next boot.

Also don't flash the boot image, just boot it.

fastboot boot (name of image)

Also make sure you are patching it with stable Magisk not beta nor Canary..

If it fails to boot up after the fastboot command then obtain another boot image and re-patch it.

Should be fine then.

PS: ideally you want to stick with full updates (if available) not OTA's, I'd recommend oxygen updater for that reason.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MR0808:
Thank you for this.

This worked and I'm rooted again.

Also, I misunderstood the terminology, byt OTA I did mean using Oxygen Updater.

Thank you again
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
AHH I see, Yea an OTA could be different, signifies 'over the air'

If it's from OnePlus they're usually incremental, whereas you can grab them from oxygen as you did and it'll be a full, always go for the latter.

Glad you're all sorted

Just a heads up the 9.9 update is by all accounts just a security update, most if not all parts of the system have remained the same so mods like the centre clock mod which uses OPSystemUI.apk has been unchanged.

This was patched with me using Evo X so if anyone boots the patched image for 9.9 please report back functionality.

Appreciate it 👍
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Here's the Changelog for 9.9

Lol it's literally a security update.

Pretty crap really.

PS: personally not going to touch it at the security updates are usually just for compliance for the company, not always for the end user.

Like they need to be seen to be offering the updates in a timely manner.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ACEBILBO-I:
I can confirm the 8.8 EU images work!

After the latest Canary update where Magisk removed MagiskHide, the only way to properly downgrade is to uninstall from the Magisk App, select "Uninstall completely", then just use the guide (I used the fastboot boot method), and stay on stable.

I tried forcing a downgrade by changing update channel and reinstalling within Magisk, but stuff just got messed up for me, had to root again using canary, then uninstall, and afterwards install the stable version. (You could probably just flash the stock image and root, but I prefer using "non-permanent" methods when I can)

That is, if you want Google Pay and other apps where the new "Denylist" canary function doesn't (and probably won't) work. Such a shame!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Thanks.

So you're on 8.8 and not 9.9?

Just an FYI, the newest stable Magisk is working on Evo X. Not sure what he did but safety net is fine..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ACEBILBO-I:
Yep, thanks to you for the guide and the images! Still on 8.8, 9.9 wasn't pushed to me, and the OnePlus software upgrade page still lists 7.7, couldn't be bothered downloading 9.9 from somewhere else as it doesn't seem to have a lot going for it.

And yeah, I can confirm stable is still all good, on 8.8 too, the issue with the Canary channel is the new update, as the Magisk developer was hired by Google, a condition is for him to drop MagiskHide support, and a new DenyList method has been implemented, which does seem to work for some apps checking for root, but not Google Pay, and it doesn't seem like the developer has interest in keeping up with hiding mechanisms (here is an article from XDA regarding it)
