I got the same problem using Magisk to patch the inactive slot when updating from .12 to .13. Getting back to .12 was as simple (once I found this out) as changing the active slot back to the previous one.

It seems to me that the "safe" way is to create a patched boot of the updated boot after applying the update but before booting. Then boot the new update to let it finish any remaining changes before booting the patched image.

Hi,

1) is there already a patched img for KB05BA 11.0.8.14 EU? If not, where can I get it?

2) Is there some kind of "automatic/easier" root?

Hi,

The last time I tried to update my 8t following the steps of the first page and I got a boot loop, losing all my data.

Can anyone explain to me how to safely update the mobile and keeping root?

With my previous op6 I just click on System -> update -> magisk install after OTA,

but with my current mobile, it fails the download every time that I try to update.

I have root with magisk, KB2003 with global KB05AA.

Thanks in advance!

It's only a modified/mixed version of my pc and non-pc update process with extra unneeded steps. If you want the safest way, then download the update file and check the file hash on pc, then follow the pc method I've posted on previous updates.

Up to you, but the main thing you need to make sure is that you have Magisk Canary installed, not beta or the regular version.

Hi,

I followed the procedure when I first got my 8T and it worked great.

On the first OTA I followed the procedure to keep root and it worked great again

On the second OTA I messed up and forgot a step so I lost my root (no biggie)

Now I 'm trying to get root back following the original procedure and my phone just can't boot from the magisk patched image.

I'm stucked on the boot animation.

It will boot normaly on the stock boot.img

Any advice on how to figure out what's going on or on how to get my root back ?

thanks in advance

You can boot the patched image and then update using Direct Install in the Magisk app.

I'm on 8T latest OOS 11.0.8.13 and rooted with magisk.

Something I've lately noticed is every time I restart it ends up on a long wait on the initial bootloader unlocked disclaimer and ends up in recovery mode. Removing cache generally reboots back into the OS.

This happens on every restart. Pretty irritating.

Are other rooted users facing the same?

hey guys, I'm in a bit of a weird situation with my OP8T... to be fair, i think a few others may be in this same situation, just maybe unaware of it.

this involves buying OP phones from eBay or similar, where the phone variant does not match the OOS variant.

i bought my OP8T KB2000 china variant, but comes with Global/international ROM

in this situation, which do we pay attention to: The device variant or ROM variant? when rooting and updating via OTA and Magisk?

i am rooted already, and have an OTA update available.

in first post it says Global ROMS are different as they only get partial updates??

when i first rooted, i got Full ROM download option?? ...so i'm a little confused.

maybe i misunderstand something?

thanks.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
My OP8T is also KB2000 and came with KB05AA software installed and all the updates I've had have also been KB05AA and currently my OnePlus download site (https://www.oneplus.com/au/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1605596915581) is showing a full rom (11.0.8.13.KB05AA).

So I stick to KBO5AA roms and all is good.

I think that part of the confusion is that KB05AA is used both for NA and Global, though I do note that all my updates show "_GLO_" in their version.

Does anyone have unpatched kernel for OOS 11.0.9.9 KB2005?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] sketch.droid:
Thanks Bill,

This is officially my first Update, since i've had the phone.

during the initial root process i think _GLO_ was in my file name, but I cant be sure.

so according to Osm0sis post, on the 8T we get only incremental updates through system -> update ?

do OP8T owners download the full ROM from OP site, install through system-> update -> manual update, then use Magisk to patch inactive slot?

I came from OP5 and TWRP... the root methods on OP8T are foreign to me. I dont know what active/inactive slots are, and how they work.

from what i read, we use Magisk to keep root on our devices with every OTA update, but this MUST be a full ROM and not incremental.

I also see that OxygenUpdater has option to Doenload, Install, and Patch to keep root, all at once... is this right? is it safe?

personally i uninstalled OxygenUpdater as soon as I finished downloading the full ROM my first time.

What is your OTA Update process?

and do we still need to worry about Lock Screen Passwords on the OP8T when patching?

thanks.

Hi guys,

I'm sorry in advance for the noob question.

I've just bought my first OP (OP8T of course), and have unlocked the bootloader as I want to root it.

My current build is Oxygen OS 11.0.0.9.KB05AA, model KB2003

This seems to be the latest available version, does this mean I cannot root until a new version will be released?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: successfully rooted via the thread with the broken recovery method. thanks!

I was able to temporarily boot TWRP to backup the kernel from 11.0.9.9. Instead of a boot.img file it gave a boot.emmc.win but I flashed it back with "fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win" and it worked fine. I also tested the Magisk patch and it booted with working root access. I have North American KB2005.

I think a lot of people like me, buy our OP phones from Ebay, since OP doesnt sell in our country.

myself, i've got KB2000 with the Internationsl ROM.

now it's time to update for the first time, and I want to keep root. from what I read, the steps are:

- download full ROM with system update.

- Install full ROM - Do Not Reboot

- Open Magisk and install to "Inactive Slot"

- Then reboot.

this is close to your steps, but no "un root" step before the update.

In your steps do you doenload and install the Full Rom? or the partial?

on a side note... is there a good tutorial for backing up and restoring system images, without custom recovery?

thanks.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] g96818:
You can only do that with the full rom. I'm only posting the OTA update process since the full rom won't be out for a few weeks.

I don't know of a way to backup system images without a custom recovery, but you can use titanium backup or swift back up to make and restore backups.

Well topjohnwu himself refers to this method as deprecated and recommends against it.

Even though it is much more convenient, I suppose this kinda makes you have second thoughts, coming from the creator of Magisk himself.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] pratyush28:
Well the method might be deprecated but it saves a lot of time and effort. It's not like the method is not functional, it's just that it doesn't work with every device. There's been several guinea pigs now and looks like it works perfectly with OOS on 8T.

Anyways, it's up to you whether you want to go around the puddle or leap over it, both work just fine.

No idea, they always update NA/Global last it seems with a full ROM download. Maybe internal policy, who knows. Are you asking because you're rooted? Search the forum threads if so, I made a full ROM by applying the incremental update to 11.0.8.3, payload extracted, it flashes from fastbootd without any data loss, and to the active slot. 11.0.9.9.KB05AA is the version. You can even keep your custom kernel on it and TWRP if you want to. Although in my opinion, 11.0.8.3 seemed to have better battery life with the exact same setup. BUT... rooted users will never have to wait for a full ROM to get released for NA again, as long as I have the time to do the time consuming patching process...
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] sketch.droid:

thanks g96818, I have been checking OP website, and Oxygen Updater app.

I was wondering if any of you guys have heard any rumours or whispers as to why its taking such a long time to release.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
I've seen this happen when:

- starting the update process before restoring stock boot image

- starting the update process with TWRP installed instead of the stock recovery

Do either of these cases apply to you?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] JimDandy68:
Thanks @BillGoss. I needed to double-check about the recovery, although I didn't remember intstalling TWRP.

No, neither of these cases apply to me. Magisk also reports that the restoration finished (I assume successfully). FWIW, it says it (Magisk) is installed A/B. Not sure if that's an issue.

I think I originally rooted by flashing a pre-rooted boot image for the last update. Is it possible I need to boot to a stock boot image for the last version, then try to run the update, and then re-root with Magisk? I guess I could also completely unroot in Magisk, but then I think I'd need to reboot to fastboot. I've been doing this with a variety of phones for a long time, but I'm still nowhere near an expert.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
If you didn't use Magisk to root the stock boot image, then you can't use it to unroot because it hasn't got an original to restore.

I would suggest that you flash the stock boot image before trying the update again.

If you have issues flashing the stock image, you will probably find that the current boot partition has been marked read-only during the failed update. If that's the case, you'll have to make it read-write and then flash the stock boot image.

If you're still rooted you can do all of this through Terminal. Otherwise you can do it in fastboot/bootloader.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] JimDandy68:
Thanks, @BillGoss. I'll have to figure out how to do this and get the old stock boot image (should be around on this forum, I think ... EDIT: I think I have it).

How would I proceed to re-root afterward? Temporarily boot a patched boot image, then use Magisk to patch the stock?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] JimDandy68:
Hmm, I managed to flash stock boot image, reboot (Magisk app asked to be reinstalled but tells me I've lost root - and there's no option to uninstall in the app anymore, either), but still the OTA update fails with the same message.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
If you're using the correct stock boot image for your phone and haven't modified the recovery (for example by installing TWRP or installed osm0sis' adb addition for stock recovery), then, unfortunately, I'm out of ideas as to what's stopping the update.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] JimDandy68:
Thanks. I'll look again for stock boot for the previous version, but it flashed correctly (I even did both slots), and the phone still boots fine and everything works, telling me it is the right boot image.

I have not installed anything you mention. I have stock recovery and nothing else.

If in fastboot I do `fastboot flashing unlock_critical` and it tells me everything's already unlocked, I assume that means the writable issue you mentioned isn't a problem. All commands for flashing images seem to work fine.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
It seems you're fine. But that doesn't help with getting your phone updated - ☹️
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] JimDandy68:
I appreciate your help. No, I appear to be stuck. Maybe I should try dumping some logs. Also, though, can I try flashing the OTA from fastboot, if I already have it downloaded? I don't know off the bat how to do that (or if it can be done).
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] JimDandy68:
@BillGoss, curious when you have a moment. If I got the phone, downloaded an OTA, used fastboot to flash a patched boot image, and then, perhaps, from within Magisk chose to direct install, what would that do? I just booted from a patched image and again Magisk shows I'm rooted. I see the option to install to inactive slot, but it's been a long time since I got the last OTA, and like I said, I don't know if I used the direct install from within Magisk, or the implications. Right now, I'm not doing anything more, since the phone is working. Thanks again for any help.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] g96818:
I ended up using the unbrick tool with that error. My phone's been error free since then.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] g96818:
I wonder if other people's failed updates are due to flashing the patched boot vice booting it and rooting from magisk app.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] g96818:
And a fat finger it was :ROFLMAO:
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
If by "downloaded an OTA" you mean "installed an OTA and rebooted the updated system successfully" then you could use the direct install to keep root. Of course, flashing the patched boot image would also do the same things.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] JimDandy68:
Yes, sorry, maybe not so clear.

I meant I got the phone (basically new, running stock), let it install that last OTA, then tried to figure out how to root, and ended up using a Magisk pre-rooted boot image in fastboot.

I'm used to even temporarily booting to a custom recovery (TWRP) to install Magisk to do this, with other phones. In any case, it sounds like maybe I'm not alone with the problem and might need to use the unbrick tool or wait for a full OTA and try again.

I also tried manually flashing the latest OTA, which I'd downloaded, through the officail updater, and that failed the same way. I think that may not be possible with an incremental (diff) OTA, but not quite clear whether that's the problem or really it's just the same issue I'm having trying to download the OTA through the updater.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] RussianBear:
Can't believe I've never tried this before... Was sitting on this last version for a month now (international) lol so simple and easy. Restored images, took the ota from the system, and installed magisc in inactive slot and presto! Thanks, man!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] g96818:
The problem is you flashed the rooted boot image instead of booting it. Back up your data and use the unbrick tool to file the file structure then boot the rooted image and install from magisk. You're going to keep running into update issues like this.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] JimDandy68:
Thanks, @g96818. What do you recommend for backing up and restoring data? In the past, I've used TWRP and TB, but I've actually never restored from a backup.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] g96818:
Most of your setting is backed up on google, but not your app data. If you're still rooted, then you can uses an app like titanium backup or swift backup and back up your app data. save your back up files to your pc, then copy it back and restore after you unbrick and properly root your phone.
