Hi, i have successfully boot into this TWRP, but apparently i'm unable to flash any Magisk apk.

If it necessary to avoid a Magisk boot issue, we will have to flash a very old Magisk zip version to get boot or root working again.

Idk from which version this function has been included in TWRP..
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] MetaruSonikkuX:
Did you download the latest Magisk apk and change the file extension to zip?
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Rom:
Heu no 😅

I thought that apk file could be flashed like a zip file 🤣
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mixlex:
The magisk apk is just an apk. It doesn't root you. I read the preferred method now is to patch your boot image with magisk and flash it in fastboot. You can add the apk before or after that.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] powergo:
Yes you can change from apk to zip and flash it work 100%

hey there, great work! made a full backup successfully.

unfortunately my 200gb sandisk SD card is not showing up. haven't bothered trying much yet as far as bugfixing (really want to give lineageOS a go so i'm making a beeline for that haha) but i thought i would throw that out there for you. i *did* try formatting it, and no dice there.

Can anyone verify this is good to go on the BE2026? I'd leap 1st but I literally just set got mine today. Got updated stock and then temp root using Magisk going, verified root off after reboot, but using fastboot and my PC is obviously not optimal so hoping this works. Thank you dev!
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] lbsilva:
Thank you a lot for this!

Can't wait to try it out...

- Are there any known bugs?

- I don't use TWRP for a while, but if I'm sure, flashing it does not wipe the phone, right?

I have a ScanDisk 256 and it doesn't see it. I used (I think) the latest TWRP from this thread. This SD was visible on the other test TWRP.

All the other functions that disappeared from the other test version are here - only need SD card to work now.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] EduardoA3677:
I am already solving it for myself, if the sdcard appears, it would be great if you can tell me what rom you are using and if it is the global or European version please

[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] TheDon13:
Hi all

Appreciate this is all experimental stuff, but anyone know why root is lost on a regular basis ie after turning off phone for the night? I am using Magisk V 22 and both rootify and root checker say that root not working after phone off for night. Also does TWRP need a password for user as it requests. I just hit cancel and TWRP still allows me to install Magisk but I have to run Magisk Uninstaller first tho, which is a drag.

Any clues/info gratefully received. Root remains for me more important than custom roms, so I am on OnePlus Build Oxygen OS 10.5.12.BE86AA
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mixlex:
Just a suggestion...you might try rooting by flashing a magisk patched boot image instead of flashing magisk with twrp.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] TheDon13:
If there's a simple way of doing that, happy to try. Seems far more complicated than using twrp when I last looked tho🙄

Tried it but within Magisk it just returns unsupported/unknown image format.... :cautious:

And that was via fastboot method as well....root not showing
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mixlex:
In the Root n10 with magisk thread you will find the magisk patched boot image for 10.5.12 BE86AA or BE89AA. Easy to flash in fastboot that way, or you could even try flashing it in twrp first if you like.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] lbsilva:
You're probably running fastboot boot magisk_patched.img, try running fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img instead. But be careful, this will make your root permanent.

Try this thread for more info on how to root your 1+.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Qwinci:

Since we don't have a system partition anymore, will "super" restore it ? If not, will adb'ing the rom and restoring super over it do the job ?

So if I'm not interested in running the stock ROM, I just want to install a custom ROM I just go to bootloader and from pc: fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img.

Then I boot to stock ROM, reboot to recovery , backup stock unrooted ROM and flash custom ROM,magisk etc.??

So do i need to do anything else to stop twrp being overwritten by stock recovery??
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gaww:
To flash custom rom follow instructions for individual roms which will have their own recovery. Don't just flash in twrp
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Spaceboy60:
Ok thanks, but what about backing up the stock ROM to sdcard first. Do i flash twrp first to do that or can I do that from the custom ROMs recovery before flashing the ROM?
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gaww:
I also backed up stock to sdcard first with TWRP, and then I used the custom recovery to to flash the rom.

Since then, I reinstalled twrp to backup things from the custom rom.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] TheDon13:
I have tried both fastboot ways you listed (also looked at RN10 thread thoroughly!) to get the magisk patched img to work, but each time it just resets the whole phone, which is a fag. Think I will stick to TWRP and have to frequently flash magisk uninstaller (20210117 version) and then flash magisk v 22.1 zip each time....

Ultimately I would like to get a custom rom to work fully eg PE, Derpfest or Lineage but couldn't get TWRP to fastboot at all on those, so gave up and stuclk with Oxygen OS.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] TheDon13:
Thanks anyway of course :)
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gaww:
I have all working with derpfest.

I don't 100% remember how I got Magisk running, but I think I flashed it with this TWRP after everything else using a Magisk zip.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] EduardoA3677:
I will release a new twrp next week, so while trying with magisk canary you are the only one who has reported that error to me

I forget to say I tried Magisk and it didn't work until I got a canary zip
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Rom:
@EduardoA3677 could you please post again your links for your previous TWRP versions please ?

Bcz if for any user for any reason an old version works better for a task, the user could back to a previous version without waiting a debug for a new version.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] EduardoA3677:

I will try the canary zip version, thanks
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] TheDon13:
I tried an old version of Magisk 17.3 just to see if root was maintained but that just made phone reach bootloader unloc page and stick at that, so it was reset time. Followed

10.5.12.BE86AA

- Official download md5: 4350859c1b5cceafba1b549f48f8f350

- extracted boot.img

- Magisk patched boot.img

and below and now think I might just be in business with full permanent root! :) :D

General Info:

You need adb and fastboot installed and should know how to use it

You must do this process only once, afterwards you can follow the OTA survival steps

You can use the already magisk-patched images by me or reproduce it yourself if you want. My magisk-patched images already have some modules installed

Reproduction of rooted images:

Get boot.img of your current ROM with one of the following steps

download stock image from above and unzip to boot.img

extract from official download with this script on your computer

backup boot_a/boot_b partition from an temporarily rooted phone e.g. with this app - check which is the active slot via fastboot getvar current-slot

copy backup from a Magisk patched phone from /data/root/magisk_*

install MagiskManager apk

Use Magisk > Install > patch a file > select boot.img

Steps to root your device:

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE MATCHING STOCK IMAGE INSTALLED

Enable bootloader unlocking and advanced reboot in developer options

unlock bootloader using fastboot oem unlock

Remember: This will erase you userdata

run patched kernel fastboot boot magisk_patched.img

This will only boot the image once! Make sure everything is working (e.g. WiFi doesn't work on wrong image)

In case the command is stuck at Sending 'boot.img' try another cable!

install MagiskManager apk - You have now root access!

For a permanent root access: fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

Caution: Incremental OTAs will fail if read-only partitions are altered

Many thanks as ever for full instructions, patience and timely replies. All much appreciated

Anyone know what password TWRP-billie-2000.img (or earlier versions) wants when one goes in to TWRP to flash magisk or whatever? Done some research but other than old sites stating use "default_password" which doesn't work, I am no further on. I just hit cancel and it allows one to go in to TWRP flashing section.

[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] kronflux:
Honestly not sure why you included a screenshot of your device info, but anyway - No ETA's are ever going to be available for custom ROMs and recoveries, as none of the devs are being paid and most have jobs and lives outside of the enthusiast community.

This thread already provides a "suitable" recovery, however as noted in the OP, and in various replies, it is in beta, and there are issues/bugs with it, which may cause you trouble.

The only downside that I know of is that most phone brands void the warranty if you root your phone.

FROM WHAT I READ (and don't take my word for it as I'm not 100% sure of this), OnePlus does not void the warranty if you root the phone, the community is actually root-friendly and this is the main reason I stick to OP devices.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] MetaruSonikkuX:
I found a workaround. USB OTG works in recovery. I have a MicroSD adapter with USB-C and recovery sees it when I put my SD card in it.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] TheDon13:
That works fine for me. Sometimes one loses root anyway, either accidentally or on purpose! ;)
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mustangtim49:
Just a little information, what warranty do you really ever have? In most cases, the idiots doing the warranty have no clue what a bootloader is, let alone if it's locked or not. As far as Metro goes, there is no warranty. If you buy device insurance, doesn't matter if rooted, but then again, you're paying pretty much full price for your deductible. Don't be a wuss, root your phone! Hey, did any of you check each other out? Kinda weird, most of us on this thread joined XDA back in the mid 2000's, I saw at least one of you had Nexus devices, as did I. The question is how did we end up with this crappy phone being members of this website 10+ years?
