How Can Install Montly Updates without loose Root and Custom Recovery

Hi dudes! Im trying to find a way to install Monthly Updates without loose the root and the custom recovery, some body can tell me how? Because im really want update to Oreo but i want be root user and dont have to make a clean install system every month... exist the way? Please help.... And Thanks!

What I do is flash all the updated partition images individually using "fastboot flash", then let it boot and settle for a few minutes (at the very least until the "performing updates" notification completes).
I then reboot into bootloader and from there boot into TWRP (without installing it) using "fastboot boot twrp.img" and then reinstall Magisk zip. None of Magisk's settings or modules are lost by doing it this way.
If you uninstall Magisk before updating the system, you risk losing its settings.

You can use Flashfire.

Now it is competible with magisk and if you want magisk instead of supersu on installation process you can disabel the installation of supersu and ad magisk to flash afterwards. you can also use the factory images or full ota zips from googles website.

Yes, you can use TWRP's "Advanced" adb sideload feature to install Magisk zip.
"adb" only works when Android is running (or some recovery images are running). When the phone is in bootloader mode the tool you need is "fastboot".

Magisk embeds itself in the boot partition. This prevents OTA from working.
Replacing the stock recovery partition also stops OTA from working.
The only reliable way to upgrade is by flashing the partitions again from the new factory image zip file, then reinstalling TWRP and Magisk afterwards.

Sounds logic to me....

FlashFire is saying that the update will likely fail because the OTA update is a block level update. Suggestions on how to get around this?

Twrp, kernel, then magisk is the proper order. Me, personally, I prefer to flash factory images with -w removed from flash-all.bat. It's always been reliable for me.

I use deuces script. It works great for me every time I upgrade.
Whats best about it is it upgrades both the slots. A lot of people mess up side a/side b and hork their phones. Deuces script fixes their installs, and upgrades with it are flawless.

Help Updating to December Security Patch

I'm running the stock rom on the November patch. I have TWRP installed with Magisk and the Kirisakura kernel. I've read and Googled for a solution and still can't get it to work. I have the latest ADB told installed but I am unable to push the update through. Can someone tell me what I'm missing? This used to be so much simpler lol. Thanks in advance.

From what I understand you can not do ADB in TWRP to install an update. What I did was download the factory images, remove -w from the flash all.bat. flashed the images and let the phone boot normally. Once I knew it was running I went to the bootloader and booted TWRP temporarily. Once that was up I flashed Magisk and then my kernel
I don't install TWRP anymore.

Adding to what hatdrc said, you want the full image, not OTA, and install from your PC in fastboot mode. If you are concerned about saving your data, remove the -w switch from flash-all.bat first using a file editor like notepad. Have the twrp.zip, kernel.zip and magisk.zip files already staged. I personally don't boot to system first (but you can), I "catch" the reboot after flashing completes with the volume down button to reboot to fastboot mode. Then fastboot boot twrp.img, and then install twrp, kernel and magisk zips all in one go using the "add more zips" button in twrp. Every month when you update, you'll lose twrp, kernel and magisk, so those have to be reflashed each time. You'll soon get used to it and can do the whole thing in about 5 minutes consistently. Just make sure to pre-stage the 3 zip files on the phone before you start. Best of luck.

I tried that but couldn't get it to work. I downloaded the ADB tools again just in case there was an issue with that. I'm going to run the flash-all script again to see if I can get it to work.

if whats suggested above doesnt work, you can make the OTA work....download the ota to your PC, boot to Android Recovery (not TWRP), apply the ota via ADB from the menu. Whenever I have "odd" issues applying the Full image, this always works for me. Obviously you need to re-root after.

Unable to flash OTA update

Hi all, I have TWRP + Magisk on my device and I am attempting to update from PQ1A.181205.006 to PQ2A.190205.001.
Steps taken
1. Downloaded the OTA from here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota#crosshatch
2. Moved the OTA to phone storage.
3. Checked SHA256 checksum matches.
4.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
5.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-3-crosshatch.img
6. From TWRP > Install > OTA zip file
Fails with the attached error. I have also tried sideloading through TWRP with the same result. Has anyone hit this error or successfully flashed the OTA update through TWRP?

I have not heard of anyone successfully loading an OTA through TWRP. Either restore stock recovery (install boot.img to both slots) and sideload with the Google instructions or run the flash-all (remove the -w) to use the factory image. Either way, you ere going to be reverting to stock recovery.
P.S. Your message doesn't make sense since you say you have TWRP on your device but then are showing that you used fastboot boot to run the TWRP .img file. If TWRP was on your device, you wouldn't have to use that command. You would just have entered TWRP with the adb reboot recovery command. I am guessing you are rebooting into the bootloader screen where either you run the TWRP .img or run the flash-all.

I also thought I saw a previous post somewhere that said you cannot skip an update, so going from December to February may not work.....not sure...
But definitely you need to load the OTA via regular Recovery using adb not TWRP....

Can you install a OTA?
I thought you had to perform an ADB sideload of an OTA.
Even then I am not aware that ADB sideload works for Pixel 3xl yet.
I have been flashing the factory image with -w removed.

ADB sideload works fine for the OTAs in stock recovery. That's how I've been doing mine.
On a side note, the Essential phone is the only phone I've come across so far that TWRP will flash the factory OTAs.

Flash them or sideload them? I never had a P2XL, but I had a Nexus 6p and I don't remember being able to flash that with the factory zips. That doesn't mean my memory isn't shot either.

Tap install on the twrp home screen. Then go to where you have the boot.img on your internal storage and tap image on the bottom right. Then select the "boot" partition, and swipe to install. This will return you back to stock recovery and kernel :good:

Well I managed to do that, but now when my phone rebooted the touch screen no longer responds. Very strange. It all loads fine and I can see my screen but nothing works. I tried to go back into recovery and I get the little dead Android guy laying on his back with a red exclamation point and "No Command" below it.
Any ideas?

[GUIDE] How to Root OnePlus 7T without TWRP

So today with some testers i managed to make root on OnePlus 7T, I want to specify that 95% of the work was done by @topjohnwu (Magisk creator). For now you should use only Magisk Canary files
I will explain 2 different guides:
First Root Guide:
This guide is for a specific rom version, so you will need to use a specific patched boot.img
- Download the patched_boot.img
- Reboot your device in bootloader-fastboot mode
- Flash the patched_boot.img in the boot partition:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
replace "boot.img" with the patched_boot.img path
- Reboot the device
- Install Magisk Manager
Second Root Guide:
This guide is more generic than the first one, you should use this one if you are unable to find a specific patched boot.img
- Download a patched_boot.img (you should try with the latest one)
- Reboot your device in bootloader-fastboot mode
- Boot the patched_boot.img:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
replace "boot.img" with the patched_boot.img path
- Reboot the device
- Install Magisk Manager
- Click on Install, then direct install and wait the end of the process
- Reboot the device
Third Root Guide:
Guide by @gpz1100
TIPS:
Actually you should use only Magisk canary files Magisk 20.3
You can get the stock boot images from the fastboot rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7t-t3979213
Actually i'm using magisk manager canary and magisk canary debug to patch the boot.img, I don't recommend updating magisk, if you don't want to see the updates install the normal magisk manager
Magisk 20.3 fully support OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro
HOW TO UPDATE a ROM and KEEP ROOT:
Before all Disable all magisk modules
Be sure to use Canary Magisk Manager and Canary Magisk (debug)
You can update a stock rom from phone settings with local upgrade:
- Update the Rom WITHOUT REBOOT;
- Open Magisk Manager;
- In Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Direct Install;
- Again in Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Inactive Slot;
- Reboot.

I am on 10.0.3 begin so i should flash the magisk patched boot image of this version, is that correct? With what should i flash, sdk tools or any other specific tool? Is there any portable adb toolkit and do i need to copy the not image in the same folder as adb?
Edit : I tried but the device was locked so unlocked it after finding instructions on xda. Never knew it would wipe everything including internal storage also
Need to install everything again and have lost data of last few days. But I got root so that's the only consolation. Also a lesson never to make unnecessary haste. But it's fine. Won't repeat the mistake again.

See OP, its clearly mentioned there. You have to flash this via fastboot and not any custom recovery. Firstly setup adb on your PC and then check the commands. Its very easy. Do some googling and still if its difficult for you, come back and ask.

Welcome to the android scene, reminds me of the old psx scene

I installed some rogue module, that was not supposed to be installed on OP 7T. Due to this, now I am not able to boot into patched boot. I had to re-flash my stock boot.img to boot into my phone. Can you please help? I want to uninstall that particular module thats all. Tried doing something with your TWRP, but it wont show my system or storage at all.

@mauronofrio, thanks so much for this. I had some queries :
1) Is the internal storage always wiped when bootloader is unlocked or did I do something wrong?
2) I have switched off auto-download of updates and also disabled automatic system updates in Developer settings. Is this correct? How to proceed when an update is available in future?
3) Will TWRP be developed or is it not useful for OP7T?

Get your stock boot.img from 1st post.
Reboot to bootloader.
And do this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Device will boot unrooted.

1. Yes, always wipe
2. Just update as usual, let update go, after installation complete, don't reboot device. Go to magisk, install, install on inactive slot. Reboot. You will be rooted (Warning : this is not tested on 7T, this method from 7)
3. TWRP will be developed but some good dev like @mauronofrio need device for this, as of now, no hopes for twrp. We are lucky that we got root.

Thanks. Yes, root is good enough right now.
By "update as usual", do you mean through OTA? I think the phone reboots after update is downloaded and then installs the update but not sure. So once it reboots after updating, should I go to Magisk and install root?
Should I keep Magisk update channel to Canary or Canary(Debug)? It's already showing an update as available. Should I update it?

In older devices like OP5T it happens like this, not in newer devices. OP7T has seamless updates, its installs while device is turned on in second partition.

So, modules are saved in /data , the only way to remove them without root actually is wiping data, if you can't now, you can just flash the stock boot.img because without root the modules can't work. Usually you can remove all magisk stuff using magisk uninstaller.

So, modules are saved in /data , the only way to remove them without root actually is wiping data, if you can't now, you can just flash the stock boot.img because without root the modules can't work. Usually you can remove all magisk stuff using magisk uninstaller.
1) yes
2) for rom updates i will pubblish a guide in the first post in some minutes

Should I keep Magisk update channel to Canary or Canary(Debug)? It's already showing an update as available. Should I update it?

Help please. I have returned to Android after 5years with OnePlus 7t and trying to root it. I am trying this method but not being able to successfully root it. Steps I have tried
Went to fastboot mode by restarting the phone but I don't get an option to install the patched image file. And even boatloader is locked. Do I need to unlock the bootloader. And I unlock will I loose my data. Sorry for silly question I have completely forgot about Android.

Thanks, rooted successfully

?
To be honest need video tutorial asap?
