How to update OTA with Magisk (can I just sideload without risk of bootloops)?

So I can't remove Magisk ("stock boot.img backup does not exist") so I was wondering if it was safe to sideload the November OTA (the whole 1GB file, not sure how to do just the 60MB delta update) and I assume that removes Magisk but keeps userdata, but does that cause any issues e.g bricks or bootloops?
I'm on 8.0 October Security Patch. My main aim isn't to remove Magisk, but I guess I have to to update to the Nov patch, and then reinstall it

First, try the
[2017.10.15] Magisk v14.0 - Root & Universal Systemless Interface [Android 5.0+] by topjohnwu - Magisk-uninstaller-20171123.zip
If that doesn't work download the appropriate Factory Image for your phone.
Go to Android 8/Oreo and do #5 to save data.

I'll give this a shot now!
Do I need to disable any Modules before flashing the ZIP? Couldn't find a definite answer searching online

I don't know, but I don't think it would hurt to disable the modules.
Just don't lock the bootloader.

So in case anyone else reads this -
For some reason, flashing the MAGISK UNINSTALLER ZIP caused a soft brick (device would boot only into fastboot and then "NO COMMAND", not boot into OS).
I'd already downloading the factory images from your links, so I flashed BOOT.IMG onto both slots, A and B.
Device then booted back into the OS, no data lost etc. But Magisk w
Still wouldn't accept OTA.
Flashed OTA as per the link you gave with flashall, worked fine. Will flash Magisk through TWRP next.
Thanks

Why? So, topjohnwu can fix it or tell you why it didn't work. The link above is where I got the 'Latest Uninstaller (Support v1+)' from.
Also it would help if you add the make and model of your phone, Magisk- version you were trying to uninstall.

Same issue as OP except i have TWRP installed as well, so SYS.img is altered as well so i can't take OTAs. Does the factory image also contain system flash?
On the OTA page, it says make sure your device is up to date, but im on October's image and cannot move to November's. Should i flash October and let it OTA to current or safe to flash November. Thinking of just going to 8.1 beta but one step at a time.

When you go to settings System Updates can you update?
If not Download the appropriate (October 2017) Factory Image for your phone.
Go to Android 8/Oreo and do #5 to SAVE data or #4 to WIPE data.
This will remove root and you should get the OTA.

Updating system from Oreo, with magisk installed, to Pie

Hi everyone!
Today I just found out that the update to upgrade my A2 Lite to Pie is available!
The problem, I think, is that I already have installed Magisk on my Oreo version to unlock the Google camera.
So is there a method or a guide to update the system to Pie without any problem? Do I follow the same steps for the usual OTA updates uninstalling and re-installing Magisk?
I could not find anything like this in the forum search, but if someone already asked I would be happy to see the thread and sorry for the duplicate one
Thanks for your answers!

anyone?

Hi ,
well i tried with magisk but it didnt work it refuses to install , so what i did is i flashed a fresh stock rom from Xiaomi official website, its actually downloading, and theoretically it will have no problem installing , il update this poste to tell you if it worked.
Edit :
I installed it and it works perfectly , if you want to show you how to flash just ask

I tried to use the semi-uninstall magisk when updating from Oreo V9.6.11 to Pie V10.0.2.0 end up with a boot lop .
So what I did before updating from Oreo V9.6.11 to Pie V10.0.2.0 ?
1. Uninstall Completely Magisk from current (Oreo V9.6.11) - I have tried the semi-uninstall before OTA however failed to boot after OTA (bootlop) . Thus I did it this way .
2. Once Magisk Uninstall Completely , reboot .
3. Once phone turn on , Go to System Update > Check Update > Download & Install > Restart .
4. Now your phone is on the current patch of PIE V10.0.2.0 .
5. Open browser , download & install to phone - latest Magisk - V18 .
6. Download this patch to your pc/laptop
Download here : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1a4...zb4F0FiMTF_2hi
7. Boot to fastboot and boot patch.img that you download in No.6
8. Phone boot up , install magisk > direct install (recommended) .
9. You are now rooted on Pie .
Thanks .

Have you lost your data with this process?
Are they on the same place???
Do you recommend to do a backup before?
If yes, which program can I use for?

Any news?
Is there a way to leave data and apps on the phone and apply the December OTA with Pie???

To keep data just flash system image out of what ever matching rom you have after you Uninstall magisk.
Uninstall magisk, reboot to check its booting and magisk isnt installed, back to bootloader and install system partiton of corresponding current rom (only if needed, ie pie wont install). If you have to unlock/lock bootloader , before hitting enter keep finger on vol down and it should bypass data wipe, i always keep finger on vol down and press and hold power also and cycle the reboot process myself.

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

First I got the the magisk boot img of OS 10.0.11HD65AA and boot the file
I got root but without signal, also I update magisk to the canary channel
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?
Thanks

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.

yes it does..
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 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.

General 11.2.7.7.LE15AA Rolling Out

Already prompted to install 11.2.7.7. About to install/re-root.

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

are you doing both Direct & Inactive slot Install before Reboot?

Hey, I just got the update, and Restoring the boot image with Magisk no longer allows me to install the update without unrooting. at first it is downloading for a bit, then it goes to "installation problem", which is not something that happened last time
Is this normal?

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

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

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)
