HELP - Is there any straightforward guide on how to root the latest OP7TPro firmware? - OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers

Hi guys, I have the OP7TP ME. I have always managed to root it through:
1)extraction of boot_a.img
2)patch file with magisk
3)flash file through adb
4)boot phone and patch again through magisk direct in order to recover wifi functionality
with the latest update though this process doesn't work anymore. Step 4 does not work which means if I do the first 3 and boot the phone, I have no wifi and after a while the phone crashes and reboots.
The only way to fix my phone so that it works again, is to reflash the full official update file.
Any help will be well appreciated on how to get root access without issues again.
Many thanks in advance

Don't extract boot_a but extract boot.img which is from the current partition. Also I'd flash via fastboot. You don't need to patch with Magisk again if it's already patched.

Hi thanks, I just tried with boot.img and it still doesn't work. No Wifi after flashing the patched version of it, and after a while phone crashes. Do you have a detailed guide to link me to?

That should do the trick

Hi thanks.. Unfortunately that's the guide I followed and it doesn't work no wifi and crash... Have you managed to root yours this way, with the latest firmware? Also I noticed that the latest magisk manager I have, doesn't offer the two options Prserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity & Preserve force encryption...they are just not present in the application....

Strange. Which OOS version are you running? It is fine for me with my BA version (the EU one)

Use beta magisk manager and try again
Also the lack of wifi is usually a mismatched boot to os ver
I'm on latest global ver of op7tp and rooted this way

Thanks! It worked now!

it's only an img file right? there is no zip file

You can find TWRP in Mi A1 xda forum but the sad news is you can't get permanent TWRP in latest Stock Pie Rom. I just had the permanent TWRP in 1.0.8.0 Stock rom by flashing eXtreme Kernel then flash Cosmic Dan's TWRP Zip Installer otherwise i tried many times but never get permanent TWRP. You can also use official TWRP Zip installer from TWRP's official site

1- Boot from patched boot image (ex: fastboot boot patched_boot.img).
2- Install Magisk Manager app.
3- Open it and Select install then direct install.
4- Reboot.
If you want to unroot then select complete uninstall from magisk manager.

How to install Root and TWRP (Unofficial) in Android 10 for the OnePlus 6T

I've been stressing all day to fix my 6T. I wiped my phone countless of times and every time I flash TWRP and magisk after, I lose WIFI. I don't know how to fix this, it never happened before. I tried resetting it in settings, nothing happened. I really need WIFI as my data is literally finished. This was after I clean installed 10.3.0. I literally have nothing in my phone and my data is backed up thankfully.
I have found a fix for this. If you have updated to 10.3.0 or new update or going to. Install it via download or local upgrade. and follow this method. Once I followed this method, my WIFI was fixed.

3. Still in Magisk Manager, Install (next to "Magisk is up to date") > Install > Install to inactive slot
4. Reboot
As an update: This method worked when I updated from 10.3.0 to 10.3.1. Everything was working fine.
There is an issue I have found. This method will make your system to boot into slot b, it still works as normal.
But if it bothers you that its slot b and not a, just redo the method again. It worked for me
Hey, thanks for crediting my post. I didn't know this would help with anyone's WiFi issue but I'm glad it did.

Yeah, I literally been trying for hours to find a solution online to no provail. Luckily I found your post and I used it as a last resort. I was about to give up at that point. Your method is quite good actually, I can install a new android 10 update, TWRP and magisk at the same time. and reboot with everything there. No more repeated reboots for TWRP and magisk
Same problem
Could not turn my wifi on, couldnt place calls, snap pictures, set alarm. Im so glad i found this post, because it did help me and I didnt lose any data. I was already rooted.

Yeah, I honestly haven't found any posts about this. I just used the method as a last resort, I was honestly planning to give up and move to IOS ?.
Installing the 10.3.0 again via local upgrade will just remove TWRP and magisk, but if you follow the method you'll get TWRP and Magisk installed with WIFI working . I thought that using the old method from Nougat, Oreo to Pie would work with Q/10. Nope, now we have found a way to have root with verything working

Ok, I didn't know that. But I don't use custom kernels tbh, I like to keep my device close to stock. I just have root, magisk modules, swift black stuff, TWRP, rooted apps which just improve the device and that's fine for me. I'm glad that it worked for you

You can flash TWRP zip in modules. You press on modules, click on the plus button, find your TWRP zip file and press it. Then magisk will flash the zip, but don't reboot

HELP PLEASE!!PHONE not working after update

Guys help me please! After the last OTA update, I tried rooting as I always do through boot_a.img patching via magisk etc, and now the phone is not working appropriately. No network and no wifi, and after a while touchscreen stops working. I can't reflash the latest firmware I find on the official site as it's from February 15th and it says it's older than the one I have, so it doesn't allow me.
What can I do to fix my phone?

Use the MSM tool and restore your phone to older firmware that way.
I don't know about the boot_a.img process you've been following, but that is not how I would recommend rooting.
Using fastboot, boot (DO NOT FLASH) TWRP, and then use a dd command to pull the boot.img
Boot into Android, install Magisk, inject root into the boot.img you pulled in the last step
Boot into fastboot, boot (DO NOT FLASH) the boot.img you just injected root into
Using Magisk Manager, Direct Install the kernel you booted from, then reboot and you are rooted

The rooting process is the same, regardless of 5G or not. Check this thread, and follow the steps that begin with booting from TWRP (Step 5):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/7t-pro-mclaren/how-to/how-to-guide-root-oneplus-7t-pro-t4021325
You should not need the final step of setting A or B active, so disregard that one.

Thank you I am so grateful... you helped me and it worked!
I have one last question for you in case you found a possible alternative. I noticed the camera app is quite poor, it doesn't even allow to select video/photo resolution/megapixels. Is there any modded version of the camera app you'd recommend, that will allow me to keep the same quality and full triple camera utilization that the stock camera app offers, while adding some nifty extra options?

Root Not Working With Patched Boot.img On OOS11

I just updated to Android 11/OOS11 and I am trying to reroot my phone with Magisk. I had root on android 10. I downloaded the latest OTA package from this thread and patched the boot.img. I can boot my phone and it works fine but I have no root access. I have the latest magisk manager installed.
Am I using the wrong boot image or is there something else going on here?
Thanks in advance.

It can happen sometimes, make sure you're using Magisk Manager Canary and/or Beta, patch the image again and fastboot boot to see if yoy have root if you do fastboot flash and profit

That is so weird. I think my pihole is blocking github links for some reason. I suspect this was my problem. I downloaded it over lte on my phone successfully and will try it after work. I will get back to you with results.
Thanks a bunch.
I used the newest beta of magisk to try and root again after work and it put my phone into crashdump mode. I had to MSM my phone; thankfully it didn't break my fingerprint sensor like I was reading about. After that I tried THE EXACT SAME THING and it worked that time. I'm beginning to think that my pc was the problem here. I always have way to many usb devices connected to my pc (I have 2 usb controller cards installed for extra ports and they are usually all full ) so maybe that was making ADB act up or something. In the future I think I'm going to use a less cluttered machine for rooting/modding.
Thanks for everyone's help.

After the update, i flashed the patched boot.img using fastboot command. Assuming no modules are conflicting you should have a rooted device. The one module that created a problem for me was OOS NATIVE CALL RECORDING. Disabling it solved any issue.

What if i just uninstall magisk(unroot), download and install the update, download only the boot.img then patch and get root?
I am trying to avoid downloading whole stock rom because of the boot.img when i can just download it alone.

We only need the boot.img(correct one) to proceed with root no need to download the entire stock rom.
Where are you guys getting 11.0.8.8IN11AA? Full zip?
Nothing on Oxygen updater for me yet.
Hey guys, so I've installed the new OTA, then went to magisk, installed magisk to inactive slot, rebooted and now the only thing happening is boot logo spinning....
what to expect? ofc, i didn't do a backup beforehand...

Things like this makes me so cautious and ask so many questions. Hope you didnt soft brick your device?
Okay it worked out somehow, i was looking for a stock boot.img, and was gonna flash that to try and save it, but had trouble with my pc recognizing my oneplus in fastboot mode, so i pressed both vol up/down and power at the same time to while being connected with usb cable, to try and get into fastboot, then screen went black but my PC got some pop ups for recognizing a device with unavailable drivers, then i just press vol up and power after a minute of it being black, phone rebooted and it loaded past the booting animation into android... weird stuff worked out, even after a dozen reboots with hardware keys, even letting it spin the animation for an hour...
I'm never updating again ahahhah
edit: if you do update, make sure you disable all your magisk/xposed addons and some native os call recording module... thats what i learned while googling yesterday, and its something i did not do, that could of have possibly contributed to my headaches
What i ended up doing that worked was;
. Flash stock 11.0.7.7 boot.img to slot A & B to unroot the phone.
. Reboot and install the ota update. I had no magisk modules to uninstall.
. After updating i downloaded the stock boot.img for 11.0.8.8 then patched and flashed to get rooted again.
Its a longer process but quite safer for me.
It's the same on each firmware, providing you have the full update available to you.
Use oxygen updater and grab the full update, download and install but don't Reboot.
Open Magisk send install after OTA.
Then reboot.
If you're unable to grab the full update then probably best to update then boot lineage recovery and sideload Magisk.zip using lineage recovery, then flash and you're done.
Could someone post boot img I can't find this 11.8.8 to download.
Thanks.

Same here please, cant find the 11.0.8.8.IN11AA anywhere.
If 8.8AA is in oxygen updater (full update)
Then make your own, using someone else's comes with inherent issues and risks.
It's good practice to make your own.
