Hello,
It's possible to install Magisk without TWRP or root? I see this thread:
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-and-root-the-google-pixel-2-and-pixel-2-xl/
It's possible to root the Google Pixel 2 without TWRP and root by patching boot image. It's possible with the Mi A1? Thank you.

Starting from 14.4, yes it is possible to install magisk without twrp. BUT you'll still need a computer and a stock boot.img at hand. Magisk manager app will patch the boot.img and put the patched img inside the magisk manager folder. You'll then need to copy the patched img and flash it to your boot partition (boot_a or boot_b depending on your active slot).
Note that 14 oct boot image from the factory image is incompatible with 30oct updated system, you'll lose wifi.
After flashing, you'll have root and magisk set up.
Instructions are basically the same as the pixel 2,but change your fastboot command to flash boot_a or boot_b.

Hi all
I am wondering if anyone knows how I can get my hands on OOS 9.0.11 Patched Boot Image.
I have honestly looked everywhere and the only one I could find was for OOS 9.0.7
I would like to use the boot image to install Magisk for root without a custom bootloader.
Thanks

You can temporarily boot TWRP and flash magisk. It's that simple..

Above method by @indian84 is using twrp boot image
1. fastboot boot twrp_boot_image
2. Download Magisk then sideload or install
or
Without twrp you need to patch stock boot.img yourself
1.Install MagiskManager
2. Dowload stock boot.img
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U8LD1C84CVmv8CVQJgdwmZUsQqSE2m3s/view?usp=drivesdk
3. Patch stock boot.img with MagiskManager and you will get patch_boot.img then transfer it to your pc
5. phone - start fastboot mode
6. pc - fastboot flash boot patch_boot.img
7. pc - fastboot reboot
8. done
Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for.
If you use this method to convert TMobile to international software, could you them download the full international firmware and reflash and have OTA working then?
If we don't have TWRP,
How do we root the device?
Magisk has the option to patch a boot.img file. Technically, you could:
1. pull the boot.img file from the A10 OB1 zip
2. copy it to the phone's internal storage
3. install latest magisk manager, click on install - patch boot.img - choose the boot.img
4. copy the patched boot.img to a pc with ADB and USB drivers
5. put the phone in fastboot mode, sideload the boot.img
I have no idea if this would work, but you could give it a go. I believe that someone else already made a guide for exactly this here in the OP6T forum.
Refer to the twrp thread for OB 10.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/help/how-to-flash-twrp-android-10-beta-1-t3986345
Either do the OTA local upgrade and magisk uninstall then install to inactive slot method, or use the boot patch which there is another thread on that on the ROM Dev section.
I used the first, worked fine. But there is no supported twrp yet. Only magisk root is officially supported on Q.

Yes, likely because the update flashed to the inactive, and there is no recovery now. So...if you want recovery, only way is to full wipe and do a MSM or flash all and wipe with older stable.
OP support/forums made announcements on their thread on what will happen with upgrading, or rolling back.
They have a rollback file you can download if you want it all working again including recovery. But you will get wiped as mentioned, and be back on the last stable and firmware. Then you can twrp and root all over again.
That is Beta testing for you!!

It is possible with no problems. Answering here right from the rooted Mi 9T QFJEUXM 11.0.4.0
Actually, you don't need TWRP to install Magisk. Just follow OP posts (also my posts - they are specifically about QFJEUXM 11.0.4.0) in the following two threads:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/how-to/guide-easiest-to-root-twrp-t4000209
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/how-to/root-k20-indian-rom-v10-3-6-0-twrp-t3958566
In short, you need to patch from Magisk Manager the boot image extracted from Recovery/ZIP QFJEUXM 11.0.4.0 and then flash it from Fastboot.
Instead of patching yourself, you can use the patched boot image for QFJEUXM 11.0.4.0 from my Mega:
https://mega.nz/#F!hllnSIpA!amAG8moMYW_tG8r731Tzgg
So you don't need TWRP to install Magisk but you can independently install TWRP (e.g., upon installing Magisk). It's good to have if you ever install a Magisk module causing bootloop, you can then just remove that module in TWRP from /data/adb/modules and reboot to the previously rooted and working setup
Use the official TWRP from:
https://dl.twrp.me/davinci/twrp-3.3.1-0-davinci.img
For official TWRP do not format or wipe anything like VBMeta, Data, Persist or whatever; except, if you wish, Dalwik and Cache
Official TWRP supports encryption - when you boot to TWRP, just ype in your Android unlock pass/pin.
Same holds for OrangeFox custom recovery - you can install its zip from TWRP
I've been running custom roms since before android was a thing so I'm usually pretty good at this stuff.
I'm running 11.0.9.9 IN11AA
It refuses to root. I'm not sure if there is some step I'm missing that's so obvious nobody mentions it?
I was rooted, but when the new Magisk 23 came out without Magisk hide.. it was a big problem for me. I have corporate apps that will refuse to work on a rooted device. I restored the stock images (just like I do to get my OTA).. but then I uninstalled Magisk 23 and Installed 22.1. I then patched the bootloader (Dire3ct Install) and all was good, until I rebooted and had no root.
My bootloader is unlocked.
So I downloaded the full stock rom v11.0.9.9 IN11AA directly from Oneplus.
Extracted payload.bin
Used Payload dumper to get the proper boot.img.
Copied boot.img to my device and used magisk 22.1 to patch the file.
Downloaded the patched boot.img to my desktop.
Used ADB to flash it
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot
Nothing. No Root.
I tried this over and over with different versions of magisk.
I tried downloading pre-patched version, and using fastboot boot patched_boot.img.
The device just hangs, and then boots using the stock image. No root.
I have no idea what could be wrong.
Ideas?
I just updated from v11.0.8.8 to v11.0.9.9 today on the EU variant.
Downloaded the update via Oxygen Updater, then used the built in updater with the local file downloaded.
Before restarting the device, opened up Magisk, then clicked "Install to inactive slot" since the new update gets put on the inactive slot. After it installed, rebooted the phone, and done. Updated to latest, and kept root. Didn't even turn off the modules, although I only have 1 installed.
This is my usual method to keep root while updating.
I'm not sure where you got your Magisk from, but i'm using v23.0 from the official github page (HERE), and it still has MagiskHide built-in, and currently using it for all of my banking apps, and it works.
Most likely the issue is that you have used the old Magisk version to patch the file.
Download the app from the link above, and use that to patch your boot.img file.
While the extracted file should work as flashed, I like to just boot from it rather than flash it and make it "permanent".
Use fastboot boot patched_boot.img to boot using the file once only.
After starting up, you should have Magisk installed in a couple of seconds. It might prompt you to restart the phone when opening it first time, but just ignore that and do not restart as you'll lose the root. Alternatively, you can install the app when you're not rooted yet, and when you boot using the patched boot.img, you won't need to restart.
When done, Magisk should tell that you have 23.0(23000) installed.
Then just use the built-in Install > Direct Install (Recommended) option within Magisk to install it to the current slot.
Do NOT install it to inactive slot. This option only to be used when updating via OTA.
Other option:
Download the Magisk app from the link above, and rename it to magisk.zip then copy it to your phone.
Download TWRP from HERE to your PC and use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img to flash this recovery.
Reboot to recovery. (Might take 2-3 mins to boot first time)
Flash the magisk.zip using recovery.
That's all you should need to be able to root.
I appreciate the help.
I was so hopeful you gave me what I needed, but it didn't work.
So, It wasn't an update issue... it was more of an attempt to downgrade Magisk.
I always OTA the same way as you and it always works.
I also always get Magisk from the official Github page.
What I got excited about was that I wasnt aware there was a working TWRP! So I thought.. THAT will fix it.
I didnt flash it, I just booted from it. I flashed Magisk that way, BUT... still not rooted.
Here is the interesting bit.. when flashing Magisk via TWRP, it detected that my boot.img was already Magisk patched and not stock (Which is right). It's like the boot.img is correctly patched, Magisk just isn't seeing it.
I'd be ok with a full wipe and factory reset at this point, but I'm not even sure that will fix it.
** Edit - I tried manually flashing the latest full OOS downloaded from Oneplus. It didnt help. I finally factory reset and it's working now.
This is my fav. root method.

Agreed, this is a great method. I tried that too before I ended up doing a reset... no good. I somehow broke something with the rom outside of Magisk so that Magisk wouldnt work. Whatever it was, A full wipe fixed it..
Hello, I've done this update on my OP8Pro and forget to use the magisk app to keep my root so I've lost root. I'd like to root it again but i dont have the boot.img patched with magisk to do it; could you guys help me ?
thanks you
It's already been shared in the usual thread.
Thanks you. Its rooted again
Out of curiosity, why bothering with a patched boot image while flashing the Magisk zip works?
For future reference, if you have TWRP or other functional custom recoveries - all you do is flash magisk.zip and you will have temporary root. Afterwards, go into magisk.apk app in your OS and click direct installation for permanent root.
