I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR DEVICE BRICKS, SD CARD DAMAGES OR NUCLEAR WAR STARTS.
Rooting method described below will work on Oreo-running devices ONLY (confirmed on build OPN27.76-12-22 and on OPNS27.76-12-22-9).
Please follow all steps very carefully and make sure you downloaded correct versions of all .zip files mentioned in my instruction!
ROOT (SafetyNet test will PASS!)
1. Download all files listed below:
- twrp-3.2.3-0-addison.img (CLICK)
- Magisk-v17.1.zip or newer if availabe (CLICK)
- f2fsfix-2018.9.2.zip (CLICK)
2. Flash TWRP using Fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-addison.img
3. Flash Magisk-v17.1.zip (or newer if available).
4. Go to TWRP/Settings and open Terminal.
5. Run both of following commands:
Code:
echo KEEPVERITY=true>>/data/.magisk
echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true>>/data/.magisk
6. Flash f2fsfix-2018.9.2.zip
7. Reboot (it is crucial in case of installing Xposed afterwards).
8. Optional but recommended: update your Magisk Manager to the latest version (CLICK).
9. Open Magisk -> Modules and update f2fs-loopback-bug-workaround module to the newest version (can be done only via Magisk Manager only if new version of f2fs-loopback-bug-workaround module is available).
10. Enjoy rooted Oreo.
UPDATE 03.10.2018
If you flashed everything as described in OP and noticed that you got stuck in boot, go to TWRP again and:
1. Uninstall Magisk using latest Magisk uninstaller.
2. Flash Magisk 17.1.zip AGAIN (yes.).
3. Flash f2fsfix-2018.9.2.zip
4. Enjoy rooted phone.
PS. I do not know why device does not start after first flashing to be honest, but these four steps above are confirmed by several users (and by me).
UPDATE 03.10.2018
XPOSED (be careful: Xposed for Oreo is still in BETA distribution and flashing it will break your SafetyNet!)
1. Open Magisk Manager -> Downloads.
2. Download Xposed Installer (the one from the screen below):
https://image.ibb.co/byLUuK/Xposed_Framework.png
3. Let Magisk install it.
4. Reboot.
5. Open Xposed Installer (you will see orange exclamation mark, don't worry).
6. Reboot once again.
7. Voila.
Hit THANKS if I helped!

@rafikowy ah, so basically the problem was with dm-verity and forced encryption? That makes sense. So it would basically also work if you'd not extract the boot.img from the OTA zip and mod it with Magisk manager with both enabled and flash that (might be easier than flashing normal Magisk and then make the changes), so you'd basically just flash the img and the module zip in TWRP.
Well, if no bigger bugs appear I might try the Oreo OTA and root tomorrow. Don't think it will be here on its own till then, even if it's already the official rollout (Indian and brasilian users seem to get it officially)
First magisk manager did not want to open, but a reboot solved. thanks
So, Lenovorola is still "undecided" in regards to patching F2FS.
I wonder why...
Where can I find the firmware or OTA to update Oreo on my 1635-02 with Android 7.1.1 Patch December? Is possible back to Stock Oreo or Nougat?

Only a Soak test is available, the link is in the thread in the ROM section. And yes, it doesn't seem to update your bootloader, it was already successfully testet to go back to 7.1.1

Unfortunately it does not work. : (TWRP prompts for a PIN to decrypt data.) How to select cancel and install Magisk on installation f2fs-loopback-bug-workaround-2018.1.31.zip displays an error that does not detect magisk or is incompatible. How do I format the date everything is installed but the phone does not turn on... Any idea?
Sorry but, if verity is enabled, that means you are unable to modify /system files?

You can go back, problem is you will lose IMEI by going back to Nougat.

I gone back to 7.1.1 Nov patch and everything is OK with my IMEI. Just flash 7.1.1 Plus ROM with TWRP. One issue what I have - In can't mount OEM partition in TWRP.
Could someone provide a TWRP backup of the 8.0 Soak? I've modified the system partition and this method stoped working. All the 8.1 roms have a so bugged camera, I don't wanna go back to them

Nope. It's impossible for now. You can`t go back to full stock, because you'll lose your IMEI with flashing full 7.1.1 FW with RSD or fastboot.

Updating removes root, so you have to do it all over again. It's what has to be done with A/B partitions (unless flashing full update from twrp or going the uninstall/restore images magisk-flash to other slot route).

Are you serious right now? Your can't find it either because your haven't downloaded it or haven't looked in the right directory for the zip. Download magisk boot into TWRP choose install navigate to the directory the zip is stored in then choose it and swipe to flash. And FYI anything you download normally goes to the Download folder.
Use one of the rooting tools it will do all for you, more simple.
9.0.11 don't prevent any method of rooting, it's in your side that something is wrong

So for some reason, my phone decided to install the new OTA update of OxygenOS.
I wanted to reinstall Magisk after flashing TWRP back but when I did so, got stuck in a bootloop.
I managed to get my phone back by re-flashing OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_052_all_1910082005_d4a454d1d3e44852.zip but everytime I try to flash Magisk, I go back on that bootloop.
What should I do ? Do I have to wait for a Magisk Update ?
Thanks
I'm glad u asked this bc my op5 keeps asking me 2 download the latest update. I want it but u don't wanna use ADB again. So how I avoid the problem above and update and keep root?

What is you current twrp recovery (file name)?
What is your current Rom(file name)?
What is your magisk version?
Is your storage encryped or decrypted?
What installation steps did you followed?
My oneplus 5 had a similar problem during the flash of Android 9, to fix this issue make sure that you are installing the full zip of the rom, and make sure to remove Magisk with its uninstaller before flashing the rom.
Right after the flash in the recovery it's possible to reinstall the latest version of Magisk stable. Keep in mind that without hte isntallation of Magisk you will lose the custom recovery, because the phone restore automatically its original recovery, so it's better if you flash it right after the installation of the full zip.

Thanks for your answer.
Current TWRP : twrp-3.3.1-0-cheeseburger.img (but I have to flash it back every time I go to recovery)
Current ROM : OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_052_all_1910082005_d4a454d1d 3e44852.zip
Current Magisk : None, trying to flash 20.1 (20100) ; Magisk manager 7.4.0 (253)
I think my storage is encrypted
Installation steps :
- My phone made an OTA update
- I lost root
- Downloaded Magisk 20.0 from the Magisk Manager
- I flashed TWRP twrp-3.3.1-0-cheeseburger.img via fastboot
- Flashed Magisk 20.0
- Wiped Cache/Dalvik
- Reboot
- Phone automatically turns off and opens Recovery

- Flashed the latest OOS img found here : https://www.oneplus.com/fr/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=5
- Could turn on my phone
- Realized there's an new 20.1 Magisk version
- Tried to flash it, it failed again, flashed OOS back.

Magisk 20 is known to have issues on pie. Also you have official twrp which has also sometimes problems.
And as mentioned already: missing to uninstall magisk can also lead to boot loops.
Recommend instructions are within the stable rom thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...xygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003/post72799040
I would try magisk uninstaller and then msgidj 19.3 in your situation as twrp won't stick without magisk.
Watch out for errors within twrp log.
Solved by running the uninstaller and reinstalling Magisk, thanks
I try everything, Try to Wipe System, Dalvnik,cache, and install latest Stable Rom, also before that I uninstall Magisk. And still BOOT loop, try also to flash form SIDELOADbut still BOOT loop.
also follow this:

Can i update like the usual process ?
Enter Recovery > Flash ROM > Flash TWRP > Flash Magisk ?
Or i need to do it differently .

If you do it this way make sure you update to the latest version of TWRP that was released today (3.3.1-30) before upgrading the ROM.
Open magisk manager and restore boot.img.
Update locally in system settings.
Dont reboot.
Install magisk to inactive slot in magisk manager.
Reboot and provit.
No need for twrp.

You don't need boot.img. Magisk automatically backups the original boot.img and patches it. That way you can restore it thru magisk manager. And patch the new boot.img (install to in-active slot) after local upgrade.

Well, that doesn't answer the question: why do you need TWRP?
The problem is that you ask for a recipe, without knowing clearly what you're doing when applying the recipe.
Yes you can update with local update while keeping Magisk and twrp. See first posts of OOS 10.0.1 thread in Guide section.
Yes you can update from within twrp, the way ROMs are fleshed since nearly a decade
Yes you can flash twrp with Magisk manager, since months it's a basic knowledge.
No you don't need stock boot.img
Don't follow the guide you quote WHICH WAS WRITTEN WHEN NO WORKING TWRP was available for A10. It's outdated now. Use regular and classical procedures

Alright, well then it is useful.
IMHO, i recommend using stock OOS and root only. Because it already is a great rom. You can flash certain extras with magisk manager anyway.
But whatever rows your boat

The answer is in the post you quoted:
'Yes you can flash twrp with Magisk manager, since months it's a basic knowledge"
What I did was open Magisk Manager - go to Modules - click Add (+) - select the TWRP installer (zip) - exit Magisk Manager - reboot to TWRP - reinstall Magisk.
There might be a way to reinstall Magisk from Magisk Manager to the active slot but I'm not sure so I did it through TWRP.
Yesterday I followed this instruction:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s5e/how-to/galaxy-tab-s5e-sm-t720-root-t3947806
and got my Tablet rooted by Magisk with stock ROM.
Next: I want LinageOs on this device, so I had to install TWRP. For TWRP I followed the links on top of the mentioned XDA-thread:
Go HERE if you are interested in custom recovery (e.g., TWRP).

which got me to this page:
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytabs5ewifi.html
There is this advice:
You are therefore strongly advised to first root your device with Magisk and then pre-root a TWRP image before flashing it to recovery.

I followed the link in this advice an read both 3 times, but I am not sure, what this means.
Next was wiki.lineageos-page for the TAB S5e:
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gts4lvwifi/install
which I also read, but none the wiser. And for more confusing: in the suitable download-page is besides the linage-file a recovery-image, which is not mentioned anywhere. Or I am blind ...
What I at least did: installed TWRP with the TWRP-app and could boot into this custom recorery and installed LineageOS. The Tab S5 is running fine with LinaegeOS but without root ...
What must be done to root?

I flashed the default TWRP into recovery, installed LineageOS from TWRP, and then followed these instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7/how-to/install-magisk-android-11-r-100-t4162761
I have working installation of TWRP and Magisk now.
If your device does not have ramdisk in boot images, Magisk has no choice but to be installed in the recovery partition. ... When Magisk is installed in your recovery, you CANNOT use custom recoveries to install/upgrade Magisk! The only way to install/upgrade Magisk is through Magisk Manager. The app will be aware of your device state and install to the correct partition and reboot into the correct mode.

The thread you mentioned, is the normal way which I know. This is a special device!

All I can tell you is that I didn't preroot anything. (My device is the LTE variant, but I think it doesn't matter other than needing the correct TWRP and Lineage image).
I started with a stock ROM and locked bootloader.
Unlocked the bootloader and installed the current TWRP image via ODIN (In my case, this one: https://dl.twrp.me/gts4lv/, you will want this: https://dl.twrp.me/gts4lvwifi/).
Installed LineageOS 18.0 and GApps through TWRP sideload.
Booted and set up Lineage.
Downloaded the three files from the thread I linked. Installed them and rebooted in the order given.
Finally, updated Magisk Manager and Magisk to the Beta-Channel (21.1) through Magisk Manager.
Done. I have root.

Updated Magisk? I think, there was no Magisk in your device?

I installed both Magisk Manager and Magisk from the files in the other thread. That is a custom version, which I updated to Beta after installing.
I don't find LOS 18, please give me a hint ...

Right here in the ROMs section.
Obligatory disclaimer: LOS 18 is still a preview and more likely to have bugs than 17.1, but I'm more than happy with it so far.
@topjohnwu
Can you tell anything to this problem? I've read this:

I've installed Lineage a few times now on this devices, and I always use the developers instructions here. Then I flash Magisk from TWRP. If you are using LOS 17.1, I just flash it in TWRP. Modules and such can NOT be flashed in TWRP your tablet will not BOOT.
The only version of Magisk that I've found that works in LOS 18 / Android 11 is 297. Links in this post.
