Yes its possible....after downloading and installing full ota not just the small ota (full rom) before clicking reboot phone you open magisk and click install magisk and install on the free slot after ota option then reboot

What tool should use to install the Ota? Do I have to use a pc?

No, directly from System update. Oneplus will detect you are rooted and will provide you with Full OTA zip for rooted users.
->Download system OTA
->Once completed. do not restart
->Go to magisk, click install magisk
->install to inactive slot(after ota) and restart to inactive slot
->Now you are updated without loosing Magisk
(Remove substratum overlays before updating)

OnePlus 8 Pro version 10.5.6 updates

OnePlus 8 Pro IN11AA OxygenOS v10.5.6 just dropped.
Im updating now. Thanks
Just updated. Two updates in one day. Unfortunately didnt fixed the problem with video recording lag.
If you're rooted, did you retained root without issues with Magisk?
The phone is not rooted (if you asked me )
If you do a local upgrade, i guess the phone automatically restarts at the end of the process. So... How to flash magisk to the inactive slot before restart the phone?

The phone will not reboot if you do local in place upgrade from the setting menu. After the upgrade goto Magisk and flash to the inactive slot then reboot.
Is the downloadable update available somewhere to do a local upgrade?

Does anyone have the firmware so that I can download it. I need to root my phone. Since the firmware is too new I can't find it anywhere.

Shoot, that was easy. As I've said, this is my first OnePlus device, and updating and keeping root with this was even easier than my Pixel.

You can either download it from system update or use the Oxygen Updater app from the Play store. once you have the file, it will be located on your phone root user storage. You can now do an upgrade. If you were already rooted with Magisk, it will download the full update image and you can retain root by flashing Magisk to the unused slot.

Did it all on my phone. Went to settings>system>system updates and selected download & install. After it downloaded, I rebooted my phone to stop the install. Then I used Root Explorer to move the OTA to the root file and installed it with local update option. Then installed Magisk to the opposite slot as previously posted by Poloasis.

Hello,
im New to the Oneplus and i have an Question... must i Install the Downloaded Image and after that, flashing Magisk to the inactive Slot, or must i Flash ist direct after the OTA Update?
Sorry für my Bad Englisch and thanks Form Helling
Could anyone share a boot image for 10.5.6? I can't find a boot image anywhere and need root. Thanks so much!
Can't really find any info online about the different model numbers yet, so I take it the iN2020 is the global version?

We don't have twrp yet on 8 Pro, so no you can't. You can update using local update from settings, just move it to root folder of internal memory, go to update app, local update, select downloaded file and let it do its job. If you want to retain root, after update don't reboot your phone, go to magisk manager and install it to unused partition, then reboot.

Download the full rom
I downloaded the full rom from Asus website, the update was fine just dropping it at the root of internal storage. My is a chinese converted to WW firmware/fingerprint. All working fine so far.
I wonder where the VOLTE settings are, I find strange they are making it available for some regions only. Why not just make it available to everyone in any region? I can;t get my head around why VOWIFI and VOLTE is taking so long to get sorted. My oneplus 5 had this working fine 3.5 years ago!

If you're tencent to global (converted).
-locked Bootloader
-finger print should be WW
And flash the Full ROM not OTA
my bootloader was unlocked. Fingerprint was converted to WW. Not gonna flash OTA again if i can rescue my device.
Should I lock bootloader always before doing update ? I prefer to use rooted for blocking ads and easy backup/restore for titanium backup.

Unlocked bootloader but not rooted you can update through local upgrade. If you're rooted just unroot then after update root again
Ok, flashed full rom over twrp and rooted. Everything seem's fine now. Just dont pass safetynet test.

No need to unroot to update, or remove twrp. There's a couple of options.
For all instances FULL zip is required, as far as I'm aware
1. For those of you that are only rooted: (Recommended to disable magisk modules) Download the full zip, move to root of internal storage and reboot. System will detect and prompt to update, click update. Wait until it finishes but DON'T click 'restart', instead, click 'restart later'. Go to Magisk manager. Click 'install' for Magisk. Click the last option 'install to inactive slot after OTA'. Click confirm force flash. Reboot when prompted. Done - root kept intact.
2. For those rooted with TWRP you can either; A)
- Disable all magisk modules;
- Put rom.zip, twrp installer.zip and magisk.zip on your internal storage;
or B)
If you want you can also update a stock rom from phone settings with local upgrade:
- Update the Rom WITHOUT REBOOT;
- Open Magisk Manager;
- Menu/modules/+ button/select the twrp installer.zip and flash it;
- Always in Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Direct Install;
- Again in Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Inactive Slot;
- Reboot.
For all instances FULL zip is required, as far as I'm aware
Thanks to @mauronofrio for A and B and for all his (or hers lol) efforts generally

Question OTA OOS 1.2.3.3 AA Boot Image Needed

Just curious if anybody has been able to get the boot image from the incremental update of OOS 1.2.3.3 AA from Magisk ?
I recently got the boot image for 1.2.2 AA from someone using magisk so just wondering if anybody has gotten the latest.
oos 11.2.3.3 AA boot.img,you can patch it in magisk 22.0, then flash it via fastboot.

how did you get the image? You lose root after updating, since you need a stock boot image to update, and global is not updated on the website

Im pretty sure he was able to get it through magisk and installing an inactive slot to the latest OOS. and then got the stock boot image of 1.2.3.3 but i could be wrong lol
For what it is worth, I ended up not needing this, this time. I was able to use Magisk's Uninstall/Restore function and install the OTA. This OTA did not force a reboot, so I was able to go back into Magisk and reinstall to active and inactive slots before rebooting and all was good.

I did something similar, which is to restore the image in magisk manager, which requires a reboot to take effect. And after rebooting, I lost root, however, the update worked.
How am I suppose to reinstall magisk after that?

Yeah this happened to me.
All you have to do is update to the latest os and then download the boot image that's in this post and then go into magisk
And select file and patch
then move it to your pc
flash the patched boot image.
and then go into magisk and direct install

Yes, the image provided sure works. But I want to figure out how you can get the boot image yourself.
I tried to set my active slot to the inactive one, but I get nothing and it just reboot to the previous slot after a while.

Something is weird with the process this time, IMO... so after the OTA installs, I use Magisk to install to both the current and inactive slot.
Great information and useful site.
Hey guys, just to be sure.
Would I be on the right track for installing OTA 11.2.3.3LE15AA on 11.2.2.2LE15AA OP9P AA:
Place OTA 11.2.3.3LE15AA on root storage
Fastboot boot 11.2.3.3 "Root lost"
Install local upgrade of OTA 11.2.3.3LE15AA no reboot
Magisk patch Direct Install then Magisk patch inactive slot, reboot.
Can anyone let me know.
Tx guys!
My question is how did someone get the boot.img from the OTA 11.2.3.3AA? I tried 3 different payload dumper and none extract the images.

that makes sense actually. It's still weird that you don't need to reboot to get the boot image. But i'll keep that in mind. Thank you!

grab the latest full ota from oxygen updater by downloading it to device storage - go to system update; local update - install the ota but do not reboot - once installed go into magisk and install to inactive slot (after ota) - reboot and profit

I updated my BA using oxygen updater (download full os, settings/system/system updates/lokal update) without touching magisk at all. reboot, bootloader, reflash https://mega.nz/file/bNozXKJI#0zNfKtRw1IBqG6ojFuW3830dxXLgewmtsbbh4T4WGzs (I know its 1.1.2.4.4, but it works...) done
Flashing a non-matching boot image is a rather bad idea. Install the update, don't reboot. Then install Magisk to INACTIVE slot and reboot. Done.

Exactly, and thx for your info!
One question. Why is it necessary to deactivate the magisk module before the update? Maybe somebody knows. I forgot to disable some of them without any issues. Just out of interest, as it is mentioned or recommended from time to time.
Happy Sunday to all..

Some of the modules may not be compatible with upgrade, causing issues like bootlooping. That makes it a pain in the butt, to enter recovery and and delete the module.
There isn't a recovery yet (that can delete Magisk mods). Some mods might copy system files during installation to mess with them. Keeping the module means you might carry over system files from an older system version, causing trouble with new updates. Hence: turn them off before the update (except for stuff where you know it won't cause harm, like systemless hosts). And _reinstall_ those that modify system stuff, e.g. Qualcomm Wifi Bonding. This won't e.g. cause boot loops, but on my sons phone wifi was dead until I reinstalled the module.

Make sure to use download full package, then Before pressing reboot after it installs go to magisk and install magisk again using the install to inactive slot to preserve root
