At least you're fixing the bugs, unlike oneplus.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] giacomowrc:
There's something that I can't figured out.

If I'm rooted with magisk and I made a rom update I've to flash magisk in the other boot slot to keep the root and then reboot.

So obviously now I've magisk patched image on both boot slots, is it correct?

How I can update and keep root without have magisk patched images in both slots?

I want to express thanks to DroidFreak32.

I have KB2003 and got it with 11.0.4.5 on it.

I rooted it successfully with patched images.

I updated today via ota and kept root following steps in DroidFreak32 first post.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] aswinrulez:
Just curious. Why is rooting different for 8T? Why can't we just flash magisk and be rooted? All the other oneplus phone I had usually had a unblock and rooting thread and the steps usually are the same but looks like for 8T it's more manual work. I am not complaining but curious to know why its so?

Hello everybody,

I got my Onenote 8T from China. Its version is KB2000 and current os version is OnePlus8THydrogen_15.H.20_0200_2011172228

After reading, commenting and even asked OnePlus support I am confused about root/unlocked bootloader and Widevine stays as discussed in the linked thread.

Widevine Security Level after unlocking bootloader/root

UPDATE 2020-11-12: With the latest 11.0.3.4 update, Widevine stays at L1 even if you unlock the bootloader or root! Hi all, I have seen one comment that someone rooted the 8T and widevine becomes L3 instead of L1, unlike the 8/8 Pro. Can...

xdaforums.com

There and in this thread I see that some people on global claim to keep Widevine L1 even when unlocked.

When I tried on my non converted KB2003 running 11.0.5.6 KB05BA EU rom. It got downgraded to L3 on unlock and only went back after relocking

Is there a difference between the phones and or ROMs, or OTAs?

Cause most people that seem to be L1 and unlocked are running the global rom. Even though some earlier posts in this thread say that EU retain L1 on unlock. Seem very inconsistent.

I have asked two different person from oneplus support (see linked thread). One said it would retain L1 for sure, and the other said that unlocking would make it L3. So they seem very inconsistent in their answers

I downloaded python, payload dumper and the full latest OTA for my 8t. Followed the OP's guide and voila, got the boot image. Have never did this before and needed to learn it. My question is, if I boot the patched image, does it automatically boot into the system or do I manually reboot to the system while in fastboot, e.g...command "fastboot reboot". Then go to magisk and do direct install. KB2005 variant with 11.0.5.6. KB05AA installed.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] radziop:
Can some be so nice and post stock (or patched) boot img for version 11.0.6.8 for KB2003 variant?

Unfortunately, during the OTA update I've lost root :( (I've followed the instructions to keep root but maybe messed something). My .OTA folder is empty now so I can't extract it too.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] giacomowrc:
This worked perfectly for me. No need ota to extract.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Michelsup:
Here is the 11.0.6.8 patched version of boot.img with Magisk 21201.

With the stock boot.img

I will try to keep it updated as the updates goes.

Edit: It's from KB2003. I dunno if it works with other variants.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] cameljockey1:
I just did the ota for 11.0.6.7.KB05AA NA KB2005 and kept root. My steps.

1. Open magisk and disable all modules and reboot. (not sure if this matters but this is what I did)

2. Open magisk and click uninstall and select restore images only. DO NOT REBOOT

3. Close magisk app and remove from background.

4. Go to settings- system and update. Click download. It may take a few tries to go through. DO NOT REBOOT AFTER THE OTA INSTALL.

5. Open magisk app and click install. The top one install. Click install to inactive slot and click okay for force reboot pop up warning.

6. Watch install then reboot.

7. First reboot will take a bit.

8. Done.

Hi,

I have a problem to root my oneplus 8t 11.0.6.9 EU

I have the boot.img but when I try to patch him with magisk => the file magisk-patched.img is only 43mo (initialy boot.img 96mo) and it doesn't have root...

I tried to the cmd 'Fastboot boot magisk-patched.img' it works but with no root.

Somebody can help me please?

Thank you very much Qnorsten,

It's works very well with your file. (with the cmd Fastboot flash boot)

If i try cmd 'fastboot boot magisk-patched' & 'install direct' with Magisk, when i reboot i lost the root.

I don't why but when i try to make my magisk-patched.img the file is only 43mo. (with a boot.img 96mo)

With the cmd 'Fastboot boot magisk-patched.img' I can access with my phone but without root
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Benfran:
Hi,

I just updated to the latest version for my EU op8t (11.0.6.9) , and since the update System settings have completely disappeared !! There's no settings icon anymore !!

Also, whenever i try to check "app info" for any app, nothing happens, and i get an error saying "services keeps stopping" .

I'm rooted with magisk, but that is working fine after the update.

Please someone give me any type of solution, as the phone is pretty much useless, without being able to change any kind of Setting (wifi, bluetooth, info, etc).

How can i manually reflash this the previous version from fastboot ? I have downloaded the full OTA, but i don't know the command, and also if it's possible to go to a previous version without losing data ?

Or maybe it's better if i reflash it from stock recovery (if possible) , or any app, if there's any ?

Thanks in advance
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Qnorsten:
Have you tried wiping the cache from stock recovery?

If that is not working you should be able to extract the partition images from the full OTA using payload dumper and flashing them using fastbootd.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] eikaramba:
I had the exact same problem. Any Sub Entry unter Settings crashed the settings, also app infos were not available anymore. Happened after upgrading to 11.0.6.8

I'm sorry to say that i tried everything(also using payload dumper to manually flash new Full rom, but it just does not work. i wasn't able to flash system partition...) and found no solution. i posted a bug report to OnePlus and they looked at it, but i don't expect that the find the problem. it basically was a problem that ThemeCompat was not used. Saw this in the logs. Very strange, because there is no way how this can happen.

But anyway today i did a factory reset and then it worked again and have now upgraded to 11.0.6.9 - i really hope this does not happen again after an upgrade.

BTW: You and me seem to be the only one with that problem, i literally found no one else with that type of problem.

I just updated to newest 11.0.6.8.KB05AA on US variant using the normal method and firmwares below...

In short

flash stock boot img

get new update

boot (not flash) using the patched boot img below

Wait for it to boot...it takes forever and almost seems like it is in a boot loop at points

Once it boots, head to magisk and direct install

Reboot and enjoy
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] kevk60:
Thanks for the great guide. Finally pulled the trigger and my 8t is rooted. Is it ok to switch back to magisk beta channel after the next full OTA flash, or should I stay on the canary channel? Again, thanks.

After the latest OTA Update 11.0.6.9.KB05BA and reboot over Magisk inactive Slot i cannot go into "Settings".

If I go to "Settings" the Screen with the Option-Settings like WLAN etc is on screen. By selecting an Option it jumps Back to HomeScreen.

Can anyone help or have a solution to fix this? All other things in the apps work fine.

A Cache Wipe did not help.

Update: I dont know how and why, but now everything works fine. I reboot by pressing Volume up + down + Power Buttons... in the Boot process it restarts again and booting.

After the boot process and unlocking the start screen, a message appears that the update is now complete. After that, the settings could be called up again as usual.

Maybe this helps one or the other with the same problem.

Hey, for the Indian Variant a new patch needs to be made and added to the list.

The newest Update for the Indian Variant is 11.0.6.8 KB05DA, I've just updated my phone and so trying to patch with the current patch up there fails and causes my phone to not function correctly or brick (which I've been able to reverse with Msm Tools). If someone could make a newest patch and upload that'd be awesome. I could do it but I'm not super confident and I don't wanna mess up and brick a bunch of people's phones.

Thank you for reading.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] alanzaki073:
You can patch the boot file from the ROM package. Use the payload extractor and get the boot.img for the 6.8 DA rom and then proceed to root as usual as explained in the OP. I had already done mine, went back to locked BL as my widevine was downgrading to L3 when unlocking BL.

AA rom is only with KB2005?

Mine is KB2003 but with AA rom. I got mine direct from OnePlus, sealed package, everything.

OnePlus really botched up with all these different variants.

Maybe that'd explained why I got Qualcomm crash dump mode after update and reboot to 11.0.6.8. I do it as usual: Magisk restore image, download and install 11.0.6.8 from system own update, Magisk install to inactive slot and press reboot in Magisk. End up in crash dump mode. Boot into bootloader and change to slot b but stuck in recovery with reason failed signature verification or keys. Tried flash back stock b boot image that I have made backup but still same error. Shouldn't it when update only the updated slot will be change? This looked like the update change both slots signature.

Got it to boot back by doing system reset in recovery, I choose the option that didn't wipe users data yet it still wipe clean the storage along with all my files. sml...

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] g96818:
Yea. OP really messed that up. You might want to use the BA MSM tool and restore the correct rom onto your phone. I think there was another member who received a KB2000 with the wrong rom as well.

Not sure. The upgrading process should be the same, but you'll need to get your hands on the tmo rom.

So does skipping to step 6 and 10 have any downsides? WHat does the payload dumper do?

Here, try this. It's patched using magisk canary (21408). Just boot the patched file and do a direct install from magisk. If the patched file doesn't work, then download the stock boot and patch it yourself with magisk, then boot, and do a direct install from magisk.

Hi,

Is it possible to root my device if I'm running EU version 11.0.6.9?I'm asking because I don't see it in the version list. Also, there is a newer version 11.0.7.10 which I had issues with a few days ago - when my device was already rooted with magisk and I followed the guide,of how to update the OOS to a newer version me keeping root access, and unfortunately it resolted with a hard brick.

Should I try use the guide on a full rom of 11.0.6.9 just to be sure?

Thank you

3. Install apk magisk manager? - DONE

4. Reboot phone to fastboot -DONE

5. Install patched img in fastboot and reboot phone? -DONE

Worked fine, i read and read so I was confident enough to install it.... Magisk update also workig fine. For people that are wondering

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] g96818:
You can try, but people have also run into issues updating a rom that isn't meant for the phone model while trying to keep root. Might be safer to unroot, restart, update, then root. The patched boot is posted above.

With my old OnePlus 7T, I was able to boot into a patched boot image that was for a different version and region than my device and then use the Magisk app to direct install Magisk to the boot image on my phone. I'm not sure if it would apply here but you could even try that. Just make sure you use the boot command and not flash, that way your boot image is only modified by Magisk and not fastboot.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] g96818:
you can update and then root. probably safer option. just boot the patched file and do a direct install from magisk.

Hello,

I have some problem.

I've successfully unlocked my Oneplus 8T. After that, I've flashed magisk_patched_11.0.5.6_KB05BA.img, however, after the phone restarted, there was only a black screen. Then it started to reboot constantly. I've tried to flash and boot stock img. But I couldn't solve it.

Then, I have tried to use Msm but, it directly boot to the fastboot mode when pluged in to the computer, while I'm pressing the vol up and down at the same time.

Can anyone please help? Thank you.

Hey, I followed everything in the post to a T (heh) and got into a bootloop. I even asked on the xda discord for help, and even with help and step-by-step supervision the guy helping me was stumped as to why I always got into a bootloop. Could there be anything I'm doing wrong that isn't as obvious?

After resetting twice, and by that person's advice, after I created the appropriate boot.img from the payload of the appropriate payload.bin, patched it through the canary magisk on the phone, booted the patched one (instead of flashing) and it just took me to the recovery menu every time I turned the phone on, even after undoing the boot (which that person reacted with "very strange") it still only went to recovery and they just told me to come here for advice lol.

Any help?
