A little background: I was rooted before updating my OnePlus 6T from system settings, then after updating (through system settings) I no longer had root and TWRP recovery so what I did was flashed TWRP following this method now I do have TWRP recovery but I am not sure which method to follow for the root process, and I have few concerns as below:
Should I flash Magisk now if so which version and which method will work for 9.0.15?
Before flashing Magisk should I flash Magisk uninstaller as well?
Do I have to flash TWRP again after flashing Magisk?
I might be asking dumb questions but I don't want to mess it up.
Greetings.
Just straight up flash the latest Magisk version, worked for me. Flash it through TWRP.
Why would you flash magisk uninstaller? I mean, I suppose it's optional?
No, you don't have to flash TWRP again.
Cheers.
Flash Magisk.
Next time, without rebooting, use Magisk mod 'TWRP A/B retention script' (search for it in Magisk modules list) just after flashing OTA via local method, and then without rebooting yet, in Magisk manager install again Magisk selecting 'other slot after OTA' option. Then only you reboot, all babies intact and in good health

Not having much luck with this guide. I came from a PureNexus rom/ElementalX rom before flashing the factory Nougat. Tried following the guide step by step, but the Magisk toggle doesn't do anything for me.
Did you used supersu or phh superuser?
Try again, flashing stock system and boot images in fastboot then follow the guide.
What I did was factory reset, then fastboot flash everything except userdata (there's a guide in here) from M to latest N NRD90U,
Then fastboot flash twrp
Then rebooted to twrp
Flash magisk
Flash phh superuser magisk version
Booted phone
Downloaded phh superuser app from playstore
Installed magisk manager APK
Granted root, then I was able to unroot/root with the toggle
*later I flashed custom kernel but I first flashed stock boot.img then EX kernel, then magisk. As per instructions in magisk thread
Sent from my Nexus 6P
Is someone had more luck with Magisk than me ?? I have a rooted LON-L29C432B225. Was trying Magisk 13.3 but without luck. Phone restarts automatically during magisk installation through twrp.
I have finaly made it Magisk is working without problems on Mate 9 Pro (LON-L29C432B225).
1. Install latest twrp recovery - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-huawei-mate-9-t3515617
2. Unroot rom, easy way i to download boot.img and flash by fastboot flash boot boot.img (https://www.dropbox.com/s/sj5su702r8omp2u/BOOT.img?dl=0)
3. Thanks to @ante0 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2247733), he made a modified magisk package - https://mega.nz/#!QhMmRDgC!c3UqYIoaGtsekmJbWoP5x90spHbXVhircmmA_68s3pY
4. Flash magisk in twrp
5. After reboot you receive info about magisk update to 13.3. Mark in magisk manager settings "keep force encryption" and allow to update.
6. After next reboot you shuld have working magisk and SafetyNet status green
I hope it will help someone
On AL00 mate 9, followed the same procedure except downloading the boot.img as restored by huawei eRecovery, only unlocked the bootloader and didn't do anything else. Can install 13.2 modified version but safetynet fail, update to 13.3 with keep force encryption then bootloop. Checked the magisk log nothing seems wrong when can boot. Root works fine. Any help? Thanks
Guys any updates on Magisk v14 with xposed on our phone? fw B225
Oneplus 5, Official ROM, H2OS, Android 7.1
1. First time, I followed https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877 and successfully install TWRP and root using Supersu. I can goes into TWRP recovery without any problem. I notice that the supersu I installed in a systemless one, some apps can't get root access, like AD Away, Titanium Backup. But most apps can work with it. I used the one of the two root method in that tutorial as follows:
For Users who want to remain Encrypted:
1. Boot into TWRP Recovery and allow system modifications.
2. Swipe right and enable modifications.
3. Select your preferred Language, Tap “Never show this screen on boot again,” and Swipe allow modification.
4. Navigate to Install and select Magisk Or SuperSU to root OnePlus 5.
5. Swipe to confirm the flash
6. Reboot System

2. After several months I want to upgrade the original H2OS to new version, so I unroot in Supersu first, when it ask me if I want to recover Boot Image, I say "Yes", and say "NO" when ask me if I want to recover Recovery Image. Then I upgrade to the new H2OS v13 (Android 7.1) using the Full package through TWRP, after that I reinstall TWRP 3.2.1, it was successful. But it doesn't ask me to allow it to make modification. I tried to install Supersu 2.82 and 2.82 SR5 using the same method as in tutorial, at the end of "Booting Image patcher" it shows
.........
-Calling user ramdisk patch script
---Failure, aborting
-Unmounting /system and /vender
-Done

Then I reboot to recovery, it return to official REC, not TWRP, and system says there is no root.

Just use the latest universal codeworks recovery and flash it via fastboot.
For root i suggest use of Magisk over Su, the latest 15.3 works fine for me.
What is the codeworks recovery? Is it "twrp-3.2.1-0-cheeseburger.img" on https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplus5.html?

No, it's the -universal- one from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-oxygenos-5-0-t3725723
I can flash universal TWRP and Magisk 15.3. But Magisk show "SafetyNet API Error"? How to fix it?
Happy new year to all you merry people
Going to update my international OP6T from 10.0.1 to 10.3.0. I have TWRP, cutom kernel and Magisk with several modules. I don't care about TWRP, only need Magisk and custom kernel. My plan is:
Clean flash full 10.3.0 from here
reboot to bootloader
boot TWRP, install magisk, ElementalX kernel
reboot to OS.
Is it a correct way or will it brick the phone? Maybe omebody can suggest a better way?
Thanks in advance
It should work. Tho you can flash Magisk from Magisk Manager. There is an option to flash to Other slot after an OTA.

So just install OTA, install Magisk to another slot and reboot? Should I uninstall all Magisk modules first?

Gosh...
The official way to do it is always the same, no need to ask at every update how to do it
Flash OTA local update
Don't reboot
From Magisk Manager flash latest twrp as a module if you want twrp
Don't reboot
From Magisk Manager install Magisk on other slot
Reboot
That's the official (cf Magisk GitHub) way to do it. Period. Do what you want with Magisk modules only a very few of them can do harm. I don't touch them. And don't uninstall Magisk before OTA it's useless on our phone
I have OP6T OxygenOS 9.0.16 and I would like to update it to the latest 10.3.3 with root.
What should be my process of doing so? I have not been in touch with rooting for the past 3 years so I don't want to mess things up. Another note is that while I am on OxygenOS 9.0.16 I tried to root it which was failed, but now few banking and calling apps such as TextNow thinks that my phone is rooted and they can not run -- but my phone is not properly rooted according to root verification apps.
Please tell me how should I do the update to the latest version from this point and then I would like to unlock bootloader and install recovery and root it as well.
Please advice.
BTW my OP6T is global

Flash OOS full rom zip on both slots using TWRP also flash TWRP installer zip on both slots reboot recovery flash magisk reboot system. Easy peasy.
Example:
Boot recovery: fastboot boot twrp.img
flash OOS 10.3.3 full rom zip
flash TWRP installer zip, reboot recovery,
flash OOS 10.3.3 full rom zip, format data, wipe data,
flash TWRP installer zip
Reboot recovery, flash magisk,
reboot system.
Note: I use a USB stick. I flash magisk zip off my USB stick.
That's what I do when I use OOS on my 6t far as installation goes.

Are you sure there is no need to update to 9.0.17 and then 10.3.3?
I've asked once and someone said that 9.0.17 is neccessary before update to 10.3.x.
Also there is option to flash from system without losing magisk modules:
1. Flash manually from update center (do not reboot)
2. Enter magisk and flash to another slot (after OTA)
3. Flash TWRP installer like magisk module
4. Reboot
But I'm not sure if I remember it correctly.

10.3.3 is all that you need. 9.0.17 isn't the only way anymore.

I have a T-Mobile SIM unlock OnePlus 6t and I converted it to an international model so when my conversation was done I was on OOS 9.0.1.1 and I booted TWRP and installed 10.3.4 full rom on both slots and also recovery installer and all just like my previous posts stated and everything went fine. I used mauronofrio's TWRP the version just before the latest 3.4xx when I did this.
I always download quite a bit of various firmwares and also TWRP versions before I start flashing things just in case something goes wrong I already have other things maybe I can use and I don't have to stop and wait for some download to finish... And I'm quite sure you know this but definitely make a backup of everything beforehand to USB or transfer it to your pc just in case you end up needing it as a precaution.
Edit added:
I am assuming that you already unlocked your bootloader... I believe everyone knows to do that that's on XDA forums before you can do anything to any device .. I say this after reading post below me here. I guess I should have said that earlier but I just assume everyone knows that on the forums... My bad. ??
From fastboot on Linux PC:
sudo fastboot oem unlock (then hit enter on keyboard) use volume keys to move to unlock option and your Power button to select it and confirm. For more info see: https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t-unlock-bootloader-root/
Super easy to unlock bootloader just remember it does wipe your device clean so move anything to want to PC or USB stick first...
I would think you could just update oxygenOS to latest then re-root no? Assuming your already bootloader unlocked which it seems like would be the case if you have an obsolete magisk installation.
Edit: re-reading your post maybe it is not unlocked as you failed to root. In this case just unlock then flash the latest fastboot image and then magisk as others have already stepped you through. You will lose data when you unlock so backup first.
So if I'm on 9.0.16 I could flash latest OOS directly from TWRP and then flash magisk? And no data loss? Of course I'm rooted with bootloader unlocked.
Oh dear this process is getting harder because recently I was busy doing other things it sounds way harder it actually is. Isnt there a way I pay someone on this forum so that user help me do this. Like download stuff links and proper version and follow me up with it because i want to do this without messing things up!

It is indeed a tough job. This A/B partition has had a lot of people bootloop/soft bricked their phones.
However, you need not pay anybody anything. If you are on stock, I would've recommended you upgrading it via Oxygen updater (a 3rd party app on the play store) and then using the latest recoveries (TWRP 3.4) and flashing it via Fastboot mode.
It is super easy.
