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?

[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

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

I use Oneplus 7T without root and everything is fine with the update. I have been using the update for a couple of hours and until now it seems that the heating that sometimes occurred with the battery was corrected.

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.

How come Magisk did not back up my stock boot image?

Hi all I got a 7T in the US. I got an update notification, and i wanted to uninstall Magisk, perform the update, reinstall Magisk and reboot. In Magisk I get the message, "stock image does not exist." I never had this problem with my Pixel, how can I get Magisk to save an image after I update and reroot?
Thanks

Why do you want to uninstall magisk?
1. Install update and don't reboot.
2. Go to magisk and install after ota
3. Reboot
I don't know about restore stock image with magisk and never did that.
If you really want to unroot your phone now, download the correct boot.img and flash it. There are a few threads available here to find that image you need.
Also you can download the ota.zip and dump that payload.bin which is inside the zip.

Like kollachi said, you don't need to follow the standard pattern of uninstall/ota/install-inactive with the 7t. I imagine that's because with a rooted device, it pulls the full rom instead of a diff.
But it sounds like you directly flashed a rooted boot.img which is why magisk doesn't have a backup. Instead, you should have done a `fastboot boot patched_boot.img` and then done a magisk install. It would have taken a backup of your original boot.img and then installed a patched version.

So basically install the Ota right over root, open magisk manager and install root, then finally reboot?
With the pixels and others, you have to uninstall magisk with restore boot image, install the update, install magisk again, then reboot.
Thanks for all of the help.

I installed magisk with twrp, the twrp that you boot off of pc into temporary memory.

it's the same procedure you're used to. you just don't need to uninstall first since it's a full ota instead of a diff

I guess it really does not matter, considering we don't have to uninstall root.

backups are saved to /data/magisk_backup_<hash>/boot.img.gz

I still do not have a backup I did the OTA, and then reinstalled Magisk "Direct Install (Recommended)", but I guess I should have picked "After OTA to slot A or B" as I had no root on reboot. So I had to TWRP it back to root.
Lots to learn, but I am gaining. :good:

I mean you did that last time and it didn't backup your boot. Fair to assume you'll get the same results if you do it again.
When you install to inactive next time, it should create a backup since the boot image will be intact

With the Pixel it always recommended install to inactive slot and I went with what was recommended.

Hi,
I was trying to update my OnePlus 7t to 10.3.3HD65AA but I am not able to do it. This is what I am doing
1) downloading the update package from oxygen updater application
2) going to setting then in system update I am clicking on more option and then on selecting local update then selecting the package waiting for upgrade to complete.
3) now going to magisk manager and installing the manager in inactive slot and rebooting the device
The phone gets reboot but doesn't update also attaching my magisk log here

I was trying to update my OnePlus 7t to 10.3.3HD65AA but I am not able to do it. This is what I am doing
1) downloading the update package from oxygen updater application
2) going to setting then in system update I am clicking on more option and then on selecting local update then selecting the package waiting for upgrade to complete.
3) now going to magisk manager and installing the manager in inactive slot and rebooting the device

I used method 3 to root my 7T a while back and did the update from 10.0.9 to 10.0.11 this morning. Did you do the full update? AFAIK the incremental update won't work
Used Oxygen Updater to download the update (DO NOT FOLLOW THEIR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS)
Did local upgrade from Settings/System/System updates (options wheel) DO NOT REBOOT
Opened Magisk Manager and did a direct reinstall of Magisk (not manager) then
Installed Magisk into inactive slot
Reboot.

Question Magisk Update doesn't run very well :(

Hello guys.
Unfortunately the today Magsik Update doesn't run very well on my Device. I did update to the available slot then reboot but the bootsplash now runs since 1H without being able to land on OOS. I'm on 11.2.5.5.LE15 BA + Omega Kernel latest build
Fastboot mode doesn't report any bootloader version nor baseband version.
What's the best way to repair that ? What was the mistake I did to prevent further error while I'm updating magisk or the Kernel ?

Ty @avid_droid but that's what I tried first. It leads me to the exact same type of Boot where nothing happens for 30 minutes excepts the bootsplash logo animation.
I did try to boot from the vanilla boot.img ... but that sent me directly to crashdump mode.
I then boot one last time to magisk_boot.img and .... it worked.
For some reasons everything was wiped on the device even if I never wipe anything from fastboot but no matter ... I'm now back in OOs and try to set it up completly

It's not Magisk, I updated to version 23 with no issues at all.
Also flashed the new Omega kernel afterward, no issues with that either, Magisk was still retained.
I would see if you can get into recovery, if you can then do a system reset and see if the phone will let you set it up again.

For my own knowledge, when you're on a custom Kernel, and want to update Magisk, do I need to make something specific ? Does the custom kernel need to be cleared or something like that ?
I jumped on Omega Kernel yesterday and everything was super fine.
The only thing I did this morning was to update Magisk : I choose to update to the available slot but maybe that was my error because this choice is more to use after an OTA update isn't it ?
Btw ty guys for your super clear answer. Coming from HTC where I did have every skill needed to figure everything, I have to learn a bit more to handle everything in the O+ world ^^

I did it the other way round, updated Magisk app, then Magisk itself, rebooted the phone. Installed the latest kernel using EX Kernel manager, it noted that Magisk was there so re-applied it on the new kernel, then rebooted and it was fine after that.
I'm not using any Magisk modules though, not going to risk that until we have a good recovery.

Same here. I keep magisk modules to a minimum. I am however playing with substratum and we know how that usually ends up haha. Giving it a go. Trying to remember the signal icons I used to use

I always use the substratum recovery zip that gets saved but we have nothing to flash that with yet either

Liv dark works now on op9pro OS11.. I'm using several different themes from livDark now

All I need to do here just hit "install"?
Ive never done it before so I just don't want to screw up.

First thing to do is to update the magisk manager itself. Once updated it will show you the magisk update 23. Click on install and chose the recommanded way, aka direct install.
My mistake was to chose install to the available slot which is more dedicated to reflash magisk after an OOs's OTA update

Thx bro...all good

This is particularly here we miss TWRP to flash magisk uninstaller properly. I like the way we can temporary boot from rooted boot.img but the disadventage is that we need a computer just near us to do that.
Hope everything is now fixed
