Quick question; I'm on the T-Mobile OP6t. I'm running the stock rom but I'm rooted. If I wanted to update, how would I go about it? Would I just install the update and presumably lose root? So I'd have to flash magisk and re-root again after updating right?
Thanks in advance!

in the root of your memory, along with the TWRP intaller and Magisk installer files as well.
Updating on these phones is super simple thanks to the A/B partition.
Install update as normal but DO NOT restart immediately.
Before restarting, open Magisk manager and press "install magisk" and install to inactive slot.
Restart, done.

That's what I thought. Could have sworn it was very simple to do so. Just update and re-root.

Would you do a local upgrade and select the full image? How do you install magisk to the inactive slot?
Pretty sure both the magisk installer and the twrp install script will automatically install to both slots

Nope.
The best thing to do is to take the standard upgrade or do local install twice to make sure both slots are at the same OS level.
When you boot TWRP then run the zip, it will install in both slots.
Magisk does not install to both slots. It only installs to the active slot.
You need to install, switch slots, reboot to TWRP again and install in that now active slots.
I make both slot_a and slot_b the same.

My mistake, just got the phone a couple days ago
If you're rooted it's going to download the whole rom anyways. If yu didn't install TWRP let it download and install and when it tells you to reboot, don't do it. Go to magisk and select uninstall, then restore from the next menu. Go to recents and close everything. Go back to magisk and select install, then install to inactive partition after OTA from the next menu. Magisk will reboot the phone when it's done installing itself to the inactive partition (where your new update is already installed) and the phone will boot to that when reboots. You've just completed a dirty flash and retained root.
This is how you update when rooted.. simple and easy

I've got my hands on this phone today. So I went on and unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP (with all in one tool).
But now when I want to root my phone through twrp, i can't access my files. I see the root folders, but when I go to /sdcard there are only a bunch of folder with random letters.
I don't know what's wrong. It is not asking for a password or anything.
Twrp has decryption issues currently. It's mentioned in the thread.
No need to install it yet, just boot to it.
If you're wanting to install magisk, just go into adb sideload in twrp and sideload magisk from your PC.

Thank you for your quick reply!
Is it bad that it is already flashed permanent? Or do I need to flash original recovery again?
I'll try and sideload it. Haven't done that before.

The current TWRP has decryption issues as its based on the Oreo tree and encryption/decryption works differently on pie.
Here is a post i did so follow it for easy instructions.

Nothing to worry about. You can dirty flash the latest full zip from my update thread or just wait for the next OTA as and when it comes flash the full zip that will overwrite the recovery partition to stock. For now TWRP is basically useless so i did not recommend to flash the installer instead just boot in it sideload magisk or kernel if you need to and retain stock recovery.
Feel free to ask anything if you are still in doubt :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the info! I'll wait for an update.
When that update comes, can i just install it from the settings? Or would i have to manually download it and install it thru TWRP/sideload?
And i guess I lose root after i update so i would have to boot into twrp and install magisk again.

As and when the update comes, just let the system download and install the zip. It will auto download and install the full zip when it detects root/system modifications, just make sure you uninstall/deactivate all mods/magisk modules/ substratum overlays before you update. You can check for easy instruction on the third post of the update thread. I will update the thread as and when the OTA is released.
Also you guessed it right the update will unroot the device so you have to root it again so you can either do the same sideload way or just do it from the magisk manager - uninstall - install ota (do not reboot) - install magisk to second slot - reboot :good:
I will again update the detailed instructions for easy understanding and and when we have the update :good:
Just stay subscribed to the update thread :good:

Just tried this method with local upgrade. It works indeed! Thanks!
But TWRP got lost from local upgrade. So after restarting flashed twrp-installer-fajita-3.2.3-37.zip via Magisk Manager. But install script anounced that I am now unrooted.
Restarting phone confirmed that.
Anyway installed root again via TWRP.
What is safe way to install TWRP in between those 5 update OTA+keep root steps?

What is safe way to install TWRP in between those 5 update OTA+keep root steps? I once tried some kind of "OTA" update via twrp, but all was lost. (Could be a bit older twrp version without pattern unlock)
Why not just download the ZIP from the TWRP rather than use the OTA method?
The zips are available here.
I never uninstall magisk by the way. However that is part of the instructions. There are TWRP instructions, it's the third post, I believe.

Well I used this thread (How to Update/Return to Stock your OnePlus 6/6T(ROOT | NO ROOT | STOCK BASED |OTHERS)) from @mauronofrio as my guide. And in 2nd paragraph it states:
2. I have a stock rom with an unlocked bootloader and I'm rooted or I made some modifications:
You can use:
Local Update Method (Recommended)
Fastboot Update Method
TWRP Update Method
MSM Tool Restore Method
Local update method is recommended. So I was following this "general knowledge". Also I lost all user data (with nandroid backup) updating via twrp. Could be that my TWRP was outdated, but I would rather not to loose my user data again :/
Are you just OOS, rooted, TWRP?
I just flash the ZIP in twrp, flash twrp installer, reboot recovery, flash magisk. You can Repeat those steps if you want to update both slots. No reason to complicate it. I've never lost any data. The only time I format or lose data is going between OOS and AOSP roms. Then it is definitely important to backup data (always important to backup data anyways though).
October Security Patch has been posted.

First, YMMV! Make backups, always.
Here's my process. It's worked for me for a good while now. My main goal was to do this all on-device, without using a computer or other ADB source. It assumes you keep TWRP installed.
1. Download the full OTA from Google. This is the one in a recovery flashable package, not the fastboot script one.
2. Download the TWRP installer.
3. Download the latest Magisk installer.
4. Turn off the screen lock. TWRP doesn't like it, and won't see the internal storage elsewise.
5. Boot to TWRP recovery.
6. Install the OTA zip via TWRP. DO NOT REBOOT NOW!
7. Install the TWRP recovery zip.
8. Reboot. I like to let Android boot all the way before I install Magisk. It may not be completely necessary, but I believe you have to switch the A/B slot in TWRP if you don't, before installing.
9. Boot to TWRP recovery again.
10. Install the Magisk zip.
11. Re-enable your security, including re-adding your fingerprints if you use them.
If you want to use an additional computer, just fastboot the full images after removing the "-w" from the bat file, fastboot boot to TWRP, then re-install TWRP (if desired) and Magisk.
Since October patch (rooted) I have massive problems my pc/my phone detecting my phone/my pc. I dont know why, its just charging, one time it worked (I need USB-Tethering) I was just restarting and restarting the phone, turning debugging on/off...
Any idea how to fix this?
edit: It just says unknown usb-device, I manually uninstalled and installed the latest android usb drivers. If I try to use an adb command it just says "error: no devices/emulators found"
Probably the worst security patch. My sensors aren't working properly, phone doesn't go off while i talk. It hangs at odd occasions. Battery is weak. Auto brightness isn't working either

Perfect, it worked. Thank you!
It boots into TWRP just fine but always ends in either error 1 or error 7.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
In Android 5.0 and above, Google introduced the concept of block-based OTAs. This new mechanism does certain pre-OTA block checks to verify the integrity of the device’s software. In layman terms, once the installation begins, the device partitions (like system, boot, vendor, dtbo, etc) are checked for modifications like Root, TWRP, etc. And if detected, the OTA update will fail to install.

Download OB2 OTA.zip and copie it into the root of your storage.
Go to System update --> local upgrade, choose the ota file and install it trough ota updater. Not sure what you are trying there with twrp.
This is what I'm referring to.
I'd maybe consider avoiding retaining root. Re-root afterwards.
I'll give that a shot, thanks

I would never do it that way. TWRP isn't fully stable and also not compatible with android 11. It's better to update manually.

I've never seen it done this way either. But I can't see even updater essentially doing what payload dumper and magisk do in one app, hence be suggesting to avoid rerooting.
Personally I'd never have twrp fully installed, I'd only boot it

Yes i haven't flashed twrp since OP7. Only boot if needed.
I assume you have root on Android 10.
Backup first.
Remove Magisk modules.
Download Ob2 .Put it in the root of the phone (not in any folder).
Upgrade with Settings> Local Upgrade. Don't Reboot!!!
Open Magisk Magager. Touch install. Choose (Direct Install).
Back in Magisk Manager. Touch install. Choose (Install to other slot after ota).
Reboot to system.

I have twrp on both slots. No wiping etc. in twrp or else?

You only have to be on Android 10 stable with working root.

Boot image won't brick your device.
Hi, simple question: will I lose root if I update to the latest oos? If so, will I have to re-root and reinstall every single module?
Simple answer to that exact question: yes.
Simple solution: after the update finished installing, DO NOT RESTART. Go to Magisk, then click install and select install to inactive slot. To the question, just accept, wait for it to finish, then hit restart. Enjoy your rooted 11.0.10.10.
Note: It's recommended to disable (no need to remove) all modules before starting the version update, then enabling them again, once the update has finished and you have already done the Magisk install.
I only use 2 modules, Advanced Charging Controller and Debloater, these don't seem to have any issues staying enabled during an update, but other modules have some issues.

Will this work even taking the smaller OTA update provided through the system, rather than finding the full version and installing it manually?
As soon as you unlock the bootloader, it only offers the full zip instead of the incremental update.
I never tried otherwise, and it's recommended to use the full zip when rooted.

I only ask because the Oxygen Updater doesn't have the newest release, and recently has not had several of the full updates, apparently because OnePlus has not been releasing them. So not sure whether to proceed with just the OTA version.
As far as I know, they're the same. The full zip which you download using Oxygen Updater or by the built-in system updater will work the same, and the method of keeping root is exactly the same. After update, DO NOT restart, install Magisk via app to the inactive slot, then restart.
I got the latest update via the built-in updater, not with the Oxygen Updater app.
What does it mean; install Magisk via app to the inactive slot, then restart ?

Exactly what it means, if you already have magisk installed, tap install, then when the 4 options come up, tap install to inactive slot. Then reboot

more understand about oneplus device OTA method if you not.
Nowaday, OP device have many duplicate partitions and its call slot _a and _b.
When you using your phone, its running "active slot", and OTA will install new firmware version to "inactive slot", (to save your phone if any upate fail,..etc).
So after OTA finished, you need to use magisk to setting root (in new partition "inactive slot").
After reboot, inactive slot become active. that 2 slot active alternate after each OTA time.
