Develop Bugs

Help, I'm in trouble ..

I bought a MiA2Lite, I unlocked the bootloader, installed Magisk and the GCam. Everything good. Until this morning: I found a notification of the availability of a system update but I could not install it. So I decided to uninstall Magisk, I opened magisk Manager, I pressed uninstall and the phone has restarted but .. does not start again, it crashes with the image of the android robot lying down and the word "no command". How can I do?

you have not completly read the thread about to update OTA with magisk imstalled...
you are not supposed to unstill magisk but to restore the original boot.img with magisk and than start the OTA.
things you can do now:
1. set partition a or b active and try to boot (google for adb commands)
or easier
2. get MiFlashTool and the latest official ROM and flash it (again search Google and xda forum for instructions)

I did not follow that guide, I just wanted to remove Magisk (I did not care to keep it) and I took the opportunity. I had followed the guide to update to Pie but I had the exact same problem and this time I decided to remove magisk forever

Updating Pixel 3 XL and keeping root without wiping data

Hi, I have a Pixel 3 XL it has the February update and it's rooted and has TWRP installed. My question is can I update it via a flashable zip file so I can flash through TWRP? I don't want to lose any of my data because it's a pain setting everything back up. Back in the day I had Cynogen and usually kept up with the nightly updates as often as I could and it was a very simple process. I"m sure it's been asked but after doing some quick google searches all I found was to download the factory image and flash it with a custom flag but I really don't want to have to re-root it and all that again.

Well when you update just edit the flash-all.bat file and delete the -w within that and you won't delete your data. You will loose root and loose the installed twrp but you can easily reinstall and obtain root after the update is completed. Check the guides section of the boards as it has an excellent guide for rooting and updating with Google released updates.

Flashing the Google image every month and editing the flash-all script is just what you have to do for A/B phones. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes once a month, and after some practice, probably 5 minutes. Pre-stage the latest TWRP and Magisk on your phone if it is not already there. Once you finish flashing the image, fastboot boot TWRP from your PC and then from your phone use TWRP to queue up both the TWRP and Magisk zipfiles and let her rip. If you use a custom kernel as well, you can do a 3-fer and queue up all three files in TWRP and it will flash all 3 in succession. Just make sure you are using the lastest version of the fastboot/adb binaries before you start. That is all.

Thanks guys, I had to refresh my memory on the process but all together maybe 20 minutes. Next time I'm guessing the process will take 10 minutes since I made some instructions for myself.

I only use temporary TWRP, so when it's time to update I just flash the OTA using stock recovery. No wipe or editing involved.

Interesting.
You install Magisk, and at what step do you do that?
Thanks in advance.

Below works, but not always. Be near a computer when you do it and be prepared to use the flash-all without the -w.
1.Magisk Manager → Uninstall → Restore Images). Do not reboot or you will have Magisk uninstalled.
2. Now Update the system and let it install completely. Do not press the reboot button.
3. Go to (Magisk Manager → Install → Install to Inactive Slot) and install Magisk.
4.Once Magisk installation is done, press the reboot button in Magisk Manager.
Your phone may get into bootloop once, if that happens just restart the phone again.

After I flash the update, I boot the phone, and then into temporary TWRP and flash Magisk.

[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.

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?

Hey i share new update for op7t global.

I have not signal after the upgrade this are the specs that I followed
1 downloaded and installed from local upgrade
2 before reboot open magisk and install masgisk in the inactive partition
3 reboot and after my device first boot I got no signal and also the settings were kind of buggy, so I reboot like 3 times and everything is okey except for the missing signal

Hello guys, I also received the update via an external program to request updates, not through my device, and I am surprised that my device is slow to show updates, but I have a problem with the root file (OOS 10.0.9 magisk_patched.img) will it succeed this time because it no longer works for me after the last update I hope you answer my problem and thank you to everyone

after turning of the call recorder module I got signal bars again thanks

I downloaded the update from the oxygen updater and installed locally, then after reading here I uninstalled the Recording module (because I had no signal) but I'm getting error when trying to access Settings (stop stopped working) I'm downloading the update file from here and reinstall it, any more guesses?

I upgraded my wife's OnePlus 7T last night through the regular process right on the phone.
1. The phone has automatic system updates disabled through developer options.
2. Go to Magisk Manager click uninstall, select restore images, and do not reboot.
3. Go to settings on device, select system, system updates, let it update, do not reboot.
4. Got to Magisk Manager, select install next to Magisk, select install, install to Inactive Slot (after OTA), and now reboot phone.
It took a minute or so to reboot. The device booted up and everything works great, no issues at all. The only issue I have, my phone another 7T does not have the upgrade available.
Update: Forgot to mention, I am using regular Magisk 20.4 (20400) with Magisk Manager 7.5.1 (267).

Hi.
Can you explain step 2 in more detail? Is this step necessary? I have 10.0.9 rooted with Magisk 20.4 and several Magisk modules including Renovate Ice. Does step 2 delete all modules? Do I need to uninstall them manually before step 3? I read Renovate Ice hasn't been updated yet to be compatible with 10.0.11 yet.

From my understanding, step 2 just restores the patched boot image to the regular boot image. However, you still have root access because you have not rebooted yet. I did not delete or disable any modules on my wife's phone. She is only running systemless host for AdAway. I still have not received the update on my phone. But, the only modules I run on it are sytemless host and YouTube Vanced black themed v14.21.54.

I recently also got the 10.0.11 OTA update on the Global variant. While it was downloading and installing, a snuck a copy of it off the phone and extracted the image files from it.
the unpatched and Magisk Patch bootimage can be found here: Google Drive OnePlus 7T HD65AA Global v10.0.11
Note, this one was patched using the latest (at the time) canary build of Magisk (cd6eca1d) 20415.

You don't need to restore anything in order to update to a New OTA. Simply disable any magisk module you use. Reboot your device then let the OTA install it self. Once done, DO Not reboot and just go to magiskmanager, and install magisk to the available slot. After what you can reboot your device, re apply your magisk modules. Et voilà

I followed my normal process (I don't use any Magisk modules):
Magisk Uninstall->Restore Images (do not reboot)
Take OTA (do not reboot)
Install Magisk to both active and inactive
Reboot
Worked without issue, as always.

I found 11.2.7.7.LE15AA, disabled all magisk modules rebooted, installed update reinstalled magisk to other slot, rebooted now I'm boot looped and in recovery, set it back from A to B (was previously on B), as obviously slot_A is non-functional or something went wrong with the upgrade from 11.2.5.5.LE15AA to 11.2.7.7.LE15AA, same problem still boot-looped.
Maybe teh custom kernel was to blame, I'll try restoring boot image and try again
I'd so prefer a full zip if they every provide one for the LE15AA version, as this method is never easy

Yeah, I don't do any custom kernel stuff or magisk modules, I cannot personally comment. What I know, for me, is the process fails 100% of the time if I don't do the Magisk image restore and it succeeds 100% of the time if I do.

I am currently on 11.2.4.4 AA (Global), rooted. Can I upgrade to the EU ROM since they tend to get full updates while AA has not been? If so, do I just flash the 11.2.6.6 EU ROM or should I flash 11.2.4.4 EU ROM then flash a more up-to-date ROM? If I flash the EU ROM, would I loose anything?

As rooted you have to flash OTA using full OTA zip file that you can download using oxygen updater app. Incremental OTA method cannot work properly.
On Oxygen updater app, download the full zip file (it will detect Magisk and advise you to use that method.)
Once downloaded, be sure that every magisk module are disabled and reboot.
Now go to parameters/system/system update then click on the upper right icon and chose local update. If it's not already done, point to the full zip file location and let the update process run to the end.
Once done, do not reboot and use magiskmanager to reflash magisk to the available slot.

Not sure if this was for someone specific for their unique circumstance. If this was just meant generally, then it is inaccurate.
I don't use Oxygen Updater. I just take the incremental OTA using the steps I mentioned.

Just letting you know, Oxygen Updater is stuck on 11.2.4.4, as is the OnePlus website.

Easy. You open magisk and restore stock boot. Don't reboot yet. Download and install update. Don't reboot yet. Open magisk and install to inactive slot. Reboot.

Normal process for taking the OTA and keeping root worked without any issue.

you are saying taking this incremental ota worked for you? I did the exact same steps (restore images, install without rebooting, install to inactive slot) and my system is still stuck on 11.2.4.4, I do not know what the issue is

yeah my system reports 11.2.4.4, yet have an incremental update for 11.2.7.7, which is odd for a number of reasons. long story short I'm sure it will cause me issues to try applying an incremental update that is not in order, but idk why 11.2.7.7 is showing up on my system, bc 11.2.6.6 never installed (or the system doesn't report it did)
