Problem with unrooting my OnePlus 5 - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

So I wanted to update to Android 8 but when I do it restarts in TWRP Recovery. I don't know what to do then so I was like: Hey I just unroot my phone and then return to stock recovery so it can install the update normally.
Well, when I uninstalled Magisk with flashing the Magisk Uninstaller my phone was very slow and everytime I entered an app it got stuck and I had to close it. The keyboard didn't work anymore so I tried to go into setting and then on "Virtual Keyboard" but then it got stuck when I pressd on "Virtual Keyboard". My assumption was that the phone has a problem with my keyboard because I flashed the iOS 11.1 zip by Ricky Bush some while ago to change my emojis.
Does someone know where the problem is?
I rerooted my phone with Magisk and now the apps are working again.

right now you are on stable or beta build ?
if you are stable wait
just dnt update yet
if using beta (OP2) probably
just dirty flash full ROM zip of Oreo
it would work

What exactly do you mean? Beta of what? Of the OP5 or Magisk? Sorry I'm really not into all this stuff.

Questions regarding Nougat.

I haven't personally used any of the Beta builds of Android 'N' and had a few questions regarding Nougat, Root, TWRP and Xposed.
I always flash the stock factory images using fastboot, so when the Nougat image is available, I plan on wiping and starting fresh. After I get it all flashed, I was wondering how I'd go about getting TWRP? Do I simply flash TWRP using fastboot as I have always done in the past? Or is there a special version of TWRP to be used?
Next, I read SuperSU 2.74 flashed with TWRP will get me rooted, but just wanted to confirm that just to be safe.
Last but certainly least, I realize Nougat is in its infancy stage, custom ROM wise, but will ROMs be rebased from 'M' to 'N' fairly quickly, or is it quite the difficult process? Can I also safely assume Xposed won't be working with Nougat for a while as well?
Sorry for the plethora of questions, I'm new to the Nougat scene.
I'm also interested in finding this stuff out, as I will be coming from rooted paranoid android MM.

So far all the info I know is Xposed isn't supported yet, and SuperSU 2.74 can be used to get Root access, but I still haven't heard anything related to N and TWRP.
There's a new version of TWRP today for Nougat. The previous version wasn't staying installed. TWRP 3.0.2-1: https://dl.twrp.me/angler/twrp-3.0.2-1-angler.img.html
If you want Nougat now, you can use ADB Sideload to install this full update: http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...gs-full-android-7-0-nougat-nexus-ota-roundup/
Just boot into TWRP, choose "Advanced" and "ADB Sideload".
Then, from the command line, type adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip

My pleasure! I'm running 7.0 with TWRP and root with no data loss from MM. The phone is much snappier, but I might still clean install when the factory images are released.
I am not finding much info about Xposed on 7.0, but I am going to hold off on experimenting with it.

One question, are you using 2.74 or 2.76 for root?
this link may also be of interest to you all: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-android-nougat-developer-preview-t3410906
for the developer previews, TWRP didn't play nicely, in short, it wasn't able to decrypt your data for some reason, and i managed to find this workaround. @anuraj1, do you know if the new twrp you linked works with N as it did on M, or are there not enough use cases for it yet?

I am using 2.76
My question is this:
I took the ota to Nougat, updated to the new twrp, got my phone rooted just fine, now, are there any custom kernels out yet that will work for Nougat?
With the new OTA out, will the factory images be released fairly soon? I'd like to try Nougat and this new TWRP.

The new version works on N exactly as twrp worked on MM!
Can someone tell me which SuperSU to use? I wiped and started from scratch on a fresh MM and took the Nougat OTA, so I'm full stock right now with an unlocked bootloader. I have the new TWRP ready. Just need SuperSU. Thanks in advance.

OTA Update with unlocked bootloader?

Hi everyone, I have a nexus 6p still running 6.0.1 with an unlocked bootloader, I got the notification for the 7.0 update, but I don't know if I can install it with the bootloader unlocked. Is it possible or do I have to lock the bootloader first?
Yes, bootloader can be unlocked. If you have modified system in any way, it may not apply the update though. I.E. if you are using twrp or you changed any system files.

My bootloader has been unlocked since the day I got my 6P. I restored back to stock MM today, flashed the newest TWRP and joined the android beta pgm to get the N OTA. Worked like a charm, no issues whatsoever.

Just so I can make sure I pass on correct info for the future, the OTA installed by itself with twrp installed? Or did you push it via fast boot?
I went a different route and installed Nougat via a ROM (tried both Stock+ and digital Hugh's versions), so for me it was hardly any different than installing any other ROM.

Yes to the OTA installed with twrp installed, it rebooted into the twrp recovery and then did some patches, etc. rebooted updated apps and hello nougat! I did have to reflash twrp after I booted back up, it did wipe it out.
I was debating about flashing digital Hugh's rom, how do you like it so far?
Good to know, thanks.
I've used aosp based Roms for so long, stock took a little getting used to. But I don't know if I will be going back to aosp now.
Digitalhigh's ROM is very smooth, and it's setup "out of the box" to allow root and android pay (albeit you have to toggle root off when you want to use AP). That's one feature I've always missed out on W aosp.
That said, there are a couple small issues some people are experiencing, clock updating the time only every 3-5min, and some having issues with vipermod not working system wide. I haven't experienced any of those. Plus he's already working on an update to allow for centered status bar clock as well as some other features.
I personally recommend giving it a shot if you want Nougat, worst that happens is you have to nandroid restore a backup.
*Edit* and he already has the night mode built into it, as well as the new nexus launcher if I'm not mistake.
Wouldn't let me attach this in an edit for some reason. That's with 4 hours screen on time, only reason you see that little charging bump is i was backing up a few files to my PC.
Thanks for the answers, just tried to update and everything was installed :good:

Thanks for the detailed reply, you may have pushed me over the edge and I may give it a try. Ive been on Benzo rom across my last 3 phones and got used to all the goodies. But using 7 the last day I find it; very fast, been a fan of Pay when it worked with systemless, can't comment on battery yet but seems decent. I may give it a day or 2 and flash digitialhighs rom, it seems like it gives me Pay with minor hassle and is close to stock. Again thanks.

TWRP for Honor 8 pro encrypted mode

Can anyone help on how to modify current TWRP to support encryption?
Nothing as of now. The support is dead.
Yesterday I tried rooting my phone by using almost every instance of magisk available on the web, but I either end up with a bootloop or Error 255.
There is no point installing twrp, you will only break your phone.
Only solution is never trust honor again in terms of development support.
SAME Issues.

Unfortunately, i'm regretting getting the H8P instead of the OP5. Kinda had a feeling this would happen but took a shot anyway.
Tried many versions of Magisk but all ends up in bootloop. Spent over 30 hours on the device, tinkering.
Best bet would be to flash Stock, lock bootloader and forget about SU . The only choice given how expensive the phone was to a common man when it released.
No more Honor or Huawei every again. For me or anyone who askes for suggestions.
I'm not that into android that i can jump in to help devs aswell. But i will try to stay active and support those who brick their device.
@anirudh & @shailendra1993
Sorry, but you seem both out of topic.
It seems to me latest official magisk is working on your device by flashing a patched ramdisk via fastboot.
Coming back to OP, the latest public TWRP available for your device seem to be there https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8-pro/how-to/restoring-dukfullotaromflasher-t3741223But they may not support encryption...

Thanks ! I get constant bootloops when I flash almost all versions of magisk on stock Oreo 8.0.0.323 . I'm now using AOSP from open krin . 8.1 . Not the most stable rom, but I love stock Android. Definably miss a few stock rom features though. It would help if you tell us the version of magisk flashed and also stock rom version.
And the installation method you followed for magisk was patching boot using magisk manager and flashing the image via fastboot right?

Hey,
I followed those same instructions before.
From v 15.4, we can directly extract our boot.img , patch it using magisk manager and flash it using fastboot.
And it works like a charm. With data encrypted.
Thanks for your inputs

I come from an Honor 8 completely turned inside out (root,twrp,xposed,gravity,substratum,v4a,titanium backup,kali linux and so so so on).
Can I hope to get almost half of them on my new Honor 8 Pro? I would stay on latest stock B189, but If I well understand there are problems with TWRP and TB because of encryption. What is the state of the art we can get on Nougat? Thanks a lot.

May 2019 update is rolling out

Gang,
The May 2019 update is now rolling out.
You should get an OTA update any time soon.
Main update topics:
- Android Generic
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2019-05-01.html
- Pixel Specific
"There are no Pixel security patches in the May 2019 Pixel Update Bulletin. "
"All Pixel devices running Android 9 will receive an Android 9 update as part of the May OTA. This quarterly release contains many functional updates and improvements to various parts of the Android platform and supported Pixel devices."
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/pixel/2019-05-01.html
Have fun
OTA Screenshot
What took you so long? I installed it more than two hours ago.
Seems nothing changed only security updates. However At-a-Glance widget now have only three options again.
No smart notifications and no Reminders notifications in the options.
Another update and no changes.. Well disappointing

Oh, there are changes, Google is just getting lazy documenting them. How often to you see app updates that only state "bug fixes and performance improvements". I think they just cut & paste that into everything these days...

Haha lets find them out then
1) battery % on the bottom of always on displays looks a bit bigger
The android security patch now says May! :silly::laugh:
I think Google focusing on Android Q and at this point make no sense to add improvements for Android P.
Android Q Beta 3 will be released after/during Google IO event. There will be a lot of announcement and new features for Android Q. Maybe a good time to upgrade.
Any of you guys rooted with magisk? It seems the may updates killed magisk and bootloops, at least for me.
Here's one change i noticed. Charging my device doesn't slow down until 95% full. ampere app shows 1020ma using a QC 3.0 enabled charger, not like before once the device hits 80% it slows down the charging from 1020ma to 600 to 700ma.

I checked and made sure everything is in the latest version, and failed like you. John Wu is going to Apple to get a internship, maybe the update for the new version of magisk would not came out that fast as before. And now I choose to stay in the April update.

The easiest fix to regain root is....go to twrp, flash the magisk uninstaller.zip, then immediately flash the magisk 18.1 zip. You'll have to install your modules again, but that's not too big a deal :good::good:

Fastboot the May factory image with the -w removed from the flash-all.bat file, and let it boot up. Go back to fastboot mode, and fastboot twrp, I use the 323-1 version since I didn't have any luck with the 330-0 version. Once in twrp, flash the twrp installer zip, then flash the magisk uninstaller zip, then flash magisk 18.1 zip, boot up, install your magisk modules again, and done :good:
If I am going to do a clean install (with wipe) do I still need to uninstall magisk in order to prevent bootoops w current version?

Not really since your phone will be completely wiped anyways. You may need to use magisk 18.1 though. The May update and magisk 19+ versions did not work for me :good:

Works fine for me . I had to change to partition a this time to though
There is a UI change which I don't really like, though i will get used to it - probably for the best.
There's a new loading arrow symbol on all apps and pages that are loading. It uses the colour theme of the app.

Everyone else notice this?

So I tried a couple different versions of pie oos & same thing tells me to flash in magisk when in twrp but if i flash in magisk it bootloops. Whats this about a modified magisk? Is it possible you still have it because i cant find a working download link. Thanks I appreciate it
do you maybe still have the files you used for your stock rom & magisk module on your 6t? sorry for asking ive just tried everything possible but the version available will not work for some reason
