Ok, why the f. did I get "installation failed" when installing OTA following this guide?
I followed the guide, I hit uninstall and "restore images" in magisk, it restored the stock image and when I tried running feb ota, I got "installation failed", why?
Also, why did my device get in a bootloop by just fully uninstalling magisk?
I had unlocked bootloader with systemless root, with no TWRP, never booted it, never flashed it, only fastboot commands I ran were oem unlock and boot patched_boot.img. I never touched system partition (on purpose), never installed anything other than a bunch of magisk modules, safetynet was always working, if it matters.
PSA FOR GOOGLE VISITORS:
Do not fully uninstall magisk after you get "installation failed", I got a bootloop and had to flash flash_all_except_storage.bat from mi a1 stock rom using miFlash (bottom right to select it, don't flash_all if you want your data).
Same thing happened with me... what exactly i done was...booted into patched boot.img using fastboot and after that used magisk manager and installed camera2api and just substratum.....but when i got notification of feb update... I tried to uninstall magisk manager using complete uninstall option....then restarted manually then it booted up and then suddenly shuts down and started showing a black screen with Android logo with (No command) written below it......to recover from this condition i again tried to use the same fastboot method for booting into patched boot... after which i was able to use my mobile.... normally but I'm not able to install feb update.... I'm downloading the complete stock rom.....but if there's any other method which can be efficient so plz inform....

Just like he said, yeah using Magisk means waving bye to OTA updates. This was the exact problem I faced where I installed Magisk module without TWRP for the joys of using substratum. Installating magisk won't taper your system, they said, you would still get the update, they said. Well NEWS FLASH for those, installing magisk tampers your system partitions and you are in a dreadlock situation where you can't do ****. People claim there are work arounds like you linked but no one has actually confirmed using it. And the worst part is that if you try to install the update even after uninstalling Magisk , it will still give you the error. How do I know? tried it, doesn't work. The only option which was left to me was to download the official Oreo ROM from MiUI global and flash it using MiFlash.
Flashing the boot.img from stock rom might solve the problem. If not, flash the stock rom using MiFlash with save user data option.

I had the same issue. I used the tool linked below and the steps:
- Unlock Bootloader
- Flash Stock ROM
- Download ROM (and wait for that to happen)
- Keep UserData (and wait again)
- Lock Bootloader
After that I was able to install the update, then re-install Magisk and camera tweaks.

The guide mention in OP had worked for me for at least 3 updates including the major one from nougat to oreo with any issue. Be aware that mounting system partition as read AND WRITE brakes OTA. You don't even need to change anything just mounting it will brake it. That could easily happen using a root file explorer or a hosts file based add blocker if Magisk is not properly set (systemless hosts support toggle in Magisk settings).

Is anyone willing to try this to see if it works? I haven't gotten the update thru the Check for Update button in the system menu yet or I would try it. It never worked in the past but it seems they have updated this method to work w/ Magisk 17.0+. If i don't get the update by tomorrow evening, I will just install the factory image manually like i do every month.

I installed the Pixel 2 Update manually (walleye-ppr2.180905.005-factory-4895938f.zip) using this guide.. Followed by twrp-3.2.3-1-walleye and Magisk 17.1. Everything seems to be working fine.
wish someone would make the factory images Flashable. All this needing a computer to update is getting old!

I'm sorry I must not have been very clear. My ask was for someone to try the process detailed in the link I provided in my quote above. This is supposed to allow you to uninstall Magisk (don't reboot), take the OTA as you normally would on unrooted phone, and once it installs, apply Magisk to the new slot w/ the OTA installed, then reboot. No computer needed. As I stated above, I would do it, but have yet to get the update thru the Check System Update. I am well aware of how to install it manually, as I have done that process for every update. I just saw that the linked process was updated for Magisk 17.0+ and hoped it could be verified to work. Meaning this would simplify the monthly update process tremendously.

Hey, I'm following this guide to a T. But whenevever I push to install magisk, it fails.
Any idea?
flash-all
reboot to bootloader -> flashboot boot twrp -> push magisk to tmp -> push twrp.zip to tmp -> install magisk and it fails.

Are you using the latest twrp that was released end of August? I did and simply did fastboot boot <twrp image file>. Then right away in TWRP, instead of installing TWRP with the TWRP zip, I simply flashed the Magisk 17.1 zip. That's it. Done.

I actually figured it out. I had to use the Magisk uninstaller to remove any remaining Magisk, I guess, before I can reinstall. Now I just have another issue on the Pixel 2 9.0. Converting any user app to system app corrupts the phone.

I got another update today on my Pixel 2, which said: critical bug and performance fixes... I wonder what it is? The phone isn't as smooth after this and some glitches with youtube in landscape, there white nav bar appears, but I can't click 3 dots menu to adjust quality for example. I have to turn the phone in portrait and then do it.

No, it's not. Other manufacturers have released their patches via OTA.

You can't. Google is no longer releasing OTAs for 8.1. Your best bet is to use a custom kernel such as FlashKernel, as I believe it is backwards compatible, and Nathan streamlines the security patches from both Google and the Linux kernel fork into his kernel.
Did anyone else got the OTA ? I'm still wainting
Hi,
So I'm just step before unlocking Bootloader and flashing Magisk but the question is - will I be able to install OTA updates directly from android without triggering bootloop?

I'm not 100% sure but I think once you obtain root OTAs won't get applied because you would have flashed custom recovery while getting root access.

Alright so the full zip will be auto downloaded if there's something modified. Can it detect magisk and replace the boot image as well since it's not a system modification?
Is anyone having issues installing the OTA?
My device saw the update but when I hit install I get "Couldn't update installation problem" I have Magisk installed on the Tmobile oneplus 6T and I've tried to update after removing Magisk but it did not work, please advise.

Uninstall magisk and then try installing the OTA, if no go, flash the unmodified fastboot files and then try again.

As long as you don't hide system updates in Magisk hide system will prompt and download full zip instead of incremental and upon flash the full zip it will replace the boot to stock boot.

Uninstall Magisk and download and install full zip, you may require t-mobile certitied full zip if the global does not work so make sure you download from the system instead of the links floating around which will be the global rom.
I have unlocked bootloader + root with magisk. Is there anything special I need to do before letting the OTA update? What about afterwards, will I need to re root?
Sorry if this question was already asked and answered- I couldn't find anything. Just want to make sure I'm not doing anything stupid, thanks in advance.
For clarity I'm on the latest magisk canary and am using a U.S. phone.

If you're on ob3 I read that it needs to wipe, if you're on 11.0.0 stable then just update, don't reboot, disable magisk modules, patch after OTA in magisk and that's it

If you update then the kernel gets done too.
If you have modules installed disable them first.
You'll be fine.
PS: so are you on ob3 or 11 stable?
I'm rooted with an unlocked bootloader on 11.IN11AA (Global). How do I perform a local upgrade without the OTA file to put into the root folder? It seems like the Global version of the OTA file is nowhere to be found and I can't download it via System Update since it fails due to root. Do we need to just wait for the 11.0.1.1.IN11AA OTA zip file to be posted? Thanks in advance.
Yes, looks like we are in waiting mode for it to show up...

Yea I guess that's why Oxygen Updater isn't showing anything new for me. Once it shows up on the internet, I'm sure the OU app will refresh and show an available update.

For those with trouble installing 11.0.1.1 AA update with root as Google server only pushed incremental OTA at the moment.
1. Flash your current version unpatched boot.img into both slots in fastboot
2. Use the following command to boot from a patched boot, but not modifying the partitions. (fastboot boot patched.img)
3. Update with system updater with incremental ota.
4. Don't reboot, but flash the magisk with magisk app to the inactive slot.
5. Reboot and done.

Thanks for these steps, it worked for me. After I flashed Magisk via the Magisk App to the inactive slot, I rebooted and had the latest version installed with root preserved. :highfive:
After I did it I'm getting the com.android.phone stopping and my Sims aren't recognized. I cleared cache, phone and SIM toolkit but didn't work. Grrrrr
I'm a rooted global user and update has never showed until today. It was only 405mb and Google play services was showing the update. Oxygen updater shows nothing and system update shows nothing. I'm gonna wait to see what happens since it's not a full update

This worked for me as well taking the actual partial OTA update from system update and going through the steps in Magisk.
A little nerve wracking considering the many times trying to update has failed on my last couple OP devices, but at least this time, it worked.
Thanks.
anyone have a patched magisk boot for IN2025?
I did the steps of flashing the stock boot.img, then booting the patched img, installed the OTA, used magisk to patch before reboot, but when it rebooted it said installation failed, and i was unable to access magisk after that as it was on the wrong slot... I had to apply the OTA update again, and now am stick without root
IN short, need either a stock IN2025 boot image to patch myself, or a magisk patched one...
TIA

If you are rooted using Magisk, look here.
Let me know if you need help.
thank you but i tried this and got installation problem when trying to update
For me it worked to do an OTA update with the same version installed.
For example, my phone was rooted to 1.1.7 and I could not update to 1.1.8. So I downloaded 1.1.7 and updated via OTA. After that I could update to 1.1.8 normally. However, the phone must be rooted again.
For the OTA update you have to download the whole OS (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-os-repo-of-nothing-os.4464039/#post-87101175) and then dial *#*#682#*#* in your phone. Now a menu opens in which you can select the OS by browse in the upper right corner. My data has been preserved during the update.

Short Guide:
Pretty sure this works across the board with most devices.
If you're doing a OTA and not a manual update:
1. Go into Magisk ~> Uninstall Magisk ~> Restore Images
2. Update via OTA (Do not reboot)
3. Go back into Magisk ~> Install ~> Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)
4. Reboot

tried manual update and keeps getting different source build is required
I was on 1.1.8 rooted with magisk.
My knowledge isnt the best but my way to update is:
1. Deinstall Magisk.
2. Flash stock boot.img (my version was 1.1.8 so i flash stock boot.img from 1.1.8)
3. Install Update normal over stystem updater
4. Reinstall magsik, done.
I tried it also with restoring magisk and update it over OTA. It worked and it installed, but after I installed Magisk to new slot and restart, it bootlooped 3 times and go back to old version. I think the new Android Versions install the update while restarting. So if you install to new slot with magisk you'll reboot with no OS on the Slot installed. I think the best way is just to uninstall magisk, install update and patch boot img
