Correct, I was trying to reference B.2.1.

Your instructions are right, but maybe you could break out the steps for global a little bit. I worried about hitting "Install" in the system updater, because I wasn't sure it would complete and not immediately reboot. Instead, as I think you know, it shows a "Reboot" button when the process is complete, giving you the opportunity to complete the remaining steps. Then there's no further installation step, just a reboot, and you're done.

Up until this time I've been using the more involved B.1 process, and was consistently running into the issue I noted, above. But this process was far easier.

My process with B.1 never involved trying to install a locally downloaded zip, or at least not recently, because unless I've missed it, I don't have a Settings -> About device -> OxygenOS 3-dot menu option (i.e., an option to install from a local file). This is why I used the APK. I think I used to have the local install option within OxygenOS, but no longer.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
I've updated B.2.1 in the OP for OOS 13 NA - can you please check that it's ok. I've credited your input at the top of the OP 😊
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] JimDandy68:
Thanks, @BillGoss! Looks good. The only other thing I might add is a note in step 4, that for OOS 13 NA, you should click Install, as it will finish and not automatically reboot. Of course, I now know that, so don't need extra instruction. I also don't know if it makes any difference how you reboot at the end. I used the "Reboot" button in System Update (the local upgrade APK)
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
I've done the reboot by rebooting from the installer as well as from Magisk, so I've got no reason - at this stage - to specify how to reboot.

The note on step 4 is specific to EU and NA. A further note for NA would just be repeating the first sentence in that step, so I'm leaving as it stands.

Thanks for your input and help in improving B.2.1.

Hi guys ,old user here just ghosted to ask how should i root my 8t fast,main reason being i need to move files around since the access is restricted on some folders.

I know theres a tutorial on first pages but i need a compressive guide since the topic is quite old and im not a savy tech.

Model is 8t kb2003 11 f 62

Thx
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] szymrobidym:
Hi, as many of you mentioned here, I've tried the B.2.1 method and failed, I'm stuck at "4. Take a copy of the inactive slot boot image:" the adb tells me that "/system/bin/sh: u: inaccessible or not found", Magisk didnt ask me for granting root access to Shell, I think thats because I do not have root access since I needed to manually flash stock boot.img since my Magisk did not have backup boot.img, any advice?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
Based on what you describe I think you were using B.1 not B.2.1.

Your screenshot shows you missed the 's' from 'su' so not surprised that the command didn't work as there's no 'u' command.

Try it again properly.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] szymrobidym:
nah, that one screen shot had "u" tried with "su" with same result
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
Well, if you've lost root, then I suggest that you finish the update, turn on Airplane mode before rebooting and then re-root your phone as described in section A.

PS: you may also need to wipe storage from Google Play Services and Play Store (and reboot again) after the reboot to get your phone certified again.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] szymrobidym:
What If I reboot my phone without installing ota (there is an option in developer mode that says it wont install update when Im restarting), flash patched by magisk boot.img file (according to my system version (f.13) so I will have the root access) and then I Take a copy of the inactive slot boot image?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
That's up to you. I've never tried that.

When I'm stepping into unknown territory I make sure I backup my phone in case I have to use the MSM Tool to restore the phone.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] szymrobidym:
Nah, It failed after "restart now to install" - "An error occurred while preparing for a reboot, try again later"
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
This is no longer about rooting. So this is now off topic for this thread. Ask for help with your current situation in the Q&A forum.

Hello peeps,

i'm following 2.1 to upgrade locally from A11 to A13 and keep data and root

I got the image KB2003_11_F.62 from oxygen updater

For some reason the local upgrade is stuck on 99% since 15mn, any idea?

can i assume it's a display bug and reinstall magisk on both slots and reboot as if it was done, or how long shall i wait?

What if it stays like that forever? ^^

If i start a system upgrade instead of a local upgrade, i guess i won't be prompted before reboot, right?

thanks

Edit: undid everything, tried a second time and it went to 100% this time (y)

thanks BillGoss and JimDandy68, followed your most simple instructions and i'm rooted and fine

hi i'm trying to boot into EDL but every time I enter adb reboot edl my phone just reboots and is not visible to MSM. my phone isn't bricked but im trying to get the boot.img

thank you in advance
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] karib97:
You have to use a USB 2 protocol, not 3. Also start MSM with admin priv. It should work. Hold the + and minus at the same time for 5 sec and plug the usb.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] SourPower:
Thank you :)
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
When you start the MSM tool as described in the OP, your screen should look like the screenshot MSM-b4-conn.png

After you run adb reboot edl your phone should reboot to EDL mode (it'a a black screen) and you should see it show up in Device Manager after about 10 s.

The MSM tool should then look like screenshot MSM-af-conn.png

And in Device Manager it should show up like in screenshot DevMan.png

Note that if you don't do anything the phone will reboot normally after 25 s from when you booted into EDL mode.

If you don't get the phone showing up in Device Manager as expected, then you should fix this problem - and I can't help you with that. You'll need to take this to another thread - either the MSM tool thread or start one in the Q&A forum.

Resolving MSM tool connection problems is off-topic in this thread.

I'm using the stable version of Magisk (24100) and it works fine.

So, no you don't need to update.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Rootk1t:
BTW, did you try latest 24.2 (24200)?

It seems to have some problems.

Magisk app updates without issues, but magisk itself can't update.

More on this here.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
No I haven't because I have no need to update. 24.1 stable works fine for me.

24.2 is beta, not stable.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Rootk1t:
I installed v24.3 which is advertised as stable. Installed good on 8T.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
Please read the update in the OP regarding OOS 12.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] xb360:
I just updated to OOS 12 and running TWRP probably the reason it bricked my phone. I followed my usual method of uninstall patched boot img, install update and use broken TWRP to extract boot image, but this time instead I download the latest TWRP thinking it work on OOS 12 as seeing latest version was released on March 9th. Still regretting I didn't read on XDA first before attempting it. I use boot command but instead of showing TWRP, it show "qualcomm crash dump mode dm-verity device corrupted force dump" instead. Luckily I was able to boot back to fastboot and use command "fastboot --set-active=a" to change the active slot. That makes it able to boot back to Android.

My question is, all TWRP does not work with OOS 12? Even the broken TWRP?

Does this mean there's no way to root OOS 12 for now? Seeing as the initial step without root need to use TWRP.

Since there's full ROM for OOS 12, how about if extract boot.img from payload.bin, patch by using Magisk app, use fastboot to boot or flash the patched img? Can it work like this? I'm worry if it will bricked my phone again, this is my daily drive and have plenty of important files on the phone.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
Yes, just use payload dumper and then patch the boot image and flash it in bootloader.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] TUN_SD:
Can I also patch the boot image in the inactive slot with magisk, after I flashed the 12 update, like I did it all the last updates? No twrp installed.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
It depends.

If you manually download the update (either full or incremental) and install it, then you can use Magisk to install to inactive slot. Note: it's up to you to ensure the incremental update dependencies are met.

If you use the System Update to download and install the update them you can ONLY use Magisk to install to the inactive slot if the update is a full one (NOT incremental).
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Feduz:
Hi Bill, I've received KB2003_11_C.15 (3,83 gb, so full update). I can go on with this guide, right?

Manually download the update (from whichever source you use) to /sdcard

Magisk>Uninstall Magisk>Restore images - this restores the stock boot image whilst keeping Magisk

Install the update in System Update>Gear icon (local install)

Magisk>Magisk Install>Install to inactive slot

Reboot system

Thanks as always!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
Yes, that should be fine.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Feduz:
doesn't work, after installed via magisk, now the boot is stuck on the red and white dot, and rebooting...

Now is on recovery mode (standard, not twrp), what can I do?

Format data, reboot device, power off, boot reason and advanced.

On boot reason: phenix.kernel_to_recovery

Doesn't know if helps

Thanks
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
I'm sorry that didn't work.

MSM is the simplest way to get back to a working device.

If you can get into bootloader then you could also have a look at the threads (there's a few in this forum) for restoring/installing OOS ROMs using fastboot.

Or, if you can get a copy of the C.15 boot image then you could flash that to replace the Magisk patched version. This should then boot OOS 12 cleanly and you can then use Magisk to patch the boot image and then flash it using fastboot.

Finally, there's a messy process that uses TWRP. If you are determined to do this option, PM me.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Feduz:
Thanks for the tips. Didn't find n c.15 package to download and flash the boot.img, so unfortunately I've used MSM tool, then update to the latest oos version. I've tried with fastboot to recovery something inside the smartphone but I think it's not possible. Lost everything ,also unblocked buttoloader, but it's ok 😅😅 now with OOS 12 is it possible to unlock bootloader and root again?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
Glad you got your phone working again.

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to unlock and root OOS 12 just like you would OOS 11.

But, and it's a BIG but, you can't use TWRP to do that (it doesn't work on OOS 12) so you'll have to do it the "old" way by using payload dumper to extract the boot image, patch it with Magisk, flash it in fastboot.

This post was a godsend, the same thing happened to me when updating from F.62 to F.63, but I followed your steps and everything is fine now. I think it might be a good idea to add a link to this post in the B.2.1 section for emergency reasons, with a message along the lines of "If you rebooted from the Magisk screen, follow these steps".

Are you on KB2005 (NA) and use the apk to do the local install? Because on EU/IN the reboot happens automatically when you tap on Install.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] TheZorg:
I'm on KB2003, I used the built-in local installer but had a brain fart and forgot to tap Install instead of rebooting from Magisk after rooting the inactive slot.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
Ah, so you didn't actually finish the install process (step 7 in B.2.1) and revoked from Magisk. And that's why you got a boot loop and had to follow the other quoted post of mine. Right?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] TheZorg:
Yes, exactly. The whole process was: extracting the full zip with the local updater; once it finished I reinstalled Magisk via direct install first, then installed to the inactive slot, after which I pressed the reboot button on the Magisk screen instead of switching back to the local installer and pressing install.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:

Hello,

I'm trying to update my OP8T but the local install update option is not clickable.

Someone know why ? I assume my phone is rooted and that's why I want to use this option.

My OOs version is KB2003_11_F.15.

Is it possible to use the "MyApplication2" app?

Thanks a lot.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
The local update option stops being available when the System Updater knows that an update has become available.

Your best option at this point is to let the system update get installed normally using method B.1 to keep root.

There are a couple of other options but I can't give you a guaranteed process for doing them successfully, so I'm not going to discuss them.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] AlexCmb:
Thanks Bill, I will try this method (y)
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
FYI, I've updated the OP.

Noteworthy changes:

- I was able to use the simpler B.2.1 process but in the System Updater for both incremental and full OTA updates in KB2003. This is something new: incremental updates thorough System Update and installing Magisk to the inactive slot have never worked previously.

- You can get a copy of the OTA zip if System Updater is showing the "Extract" button.

- If you've received notification of an update and you have a copy of the zip, you can still use Local install, even if the option is greyed out, by following the steps I've listed in B.2.1.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] vnoneplus:
Hello,

Firstly, I'd like to extend my thanks for providing such a comprehensive guide and assistance on this subject.

I am currently using a OnePlus 8T KB2003, running on Oxygen OS 11.0.13.13.KB05BA. The device has been rooted with Magisk 26.1 and utilizes OrangeFox for its recovery system.

My intention is to update the device to either Android 12 or 13, but I've encountered two significant issues:

I failed to back up the stock recovery when flashing the OrangeFox version r11.1.

If I'm unable to find a solution for the first issue, I need to be nearly 100% confident that I won't lose data and will still be capable of using my banking apps (which took a considerable amount of time to make compatible with root access). As I am currently not in my home country, it would be a significant inconvenience to register new devices.

Therefore, any information or guidance on what steps to take or avoid would be highly appreciated. Thank you.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
You can get a copy of the full OOS 11.0.13.13 zip from https://xdaforums.com/t/oneplus-8t-rom-ota-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.4193183/

Then you could use the process in A.1.2 but this time you want the stock recovery image rather than the boot image.

BUT you only need this if the update you are going to use is an incremental update. Since you can get full image zips for OOS 13 from the same thread, you can ignore the question about getting a copy of the stock recovery before updating.

I, personally, would totally skip OOS 12 and go straight to OOS 13.1 as it works very well. Note: I've not done this as I upgraded as each new version became available.

However, nothing is 100% safe - we all make mistakes. Whether you do all of this whilst you're away from home is entirely your decision. If you do decide to update, then make sure you take a backup of Data using Orange Fox and then backup your user data (/sdcard) to an external device.
