Magisk on Oreo

I can't seem to install Magisk 16.0 via TWRP 3.2 on the Oreo update. It installs, but enters a bootloop. Why is that?
Also TWRP said cannot mount /data. How to fix this?
"Failed to mount '/data' (No such process)"
Also cannot format data this way
EDIT: Installed Magisk 16.4, no change. Also just realized that internal storage is inaccessible.

I upgraded and got in a bootloop. Then I remembered I had Nougat substratum themes active. Only way I got it booting is by factory resetting it.
As for installing magisk with root access, you can try the TWRPless method. I got it working on mine. All you need is the stock boot image and a computer to use adb.
Steps on installing magisk on Oreo:
1. Put the boot image somewhere you can easily find it for later use
2. Install the latest magisk manager apk on your phone
3. Enter magisk manager and install magisk (root) using the "patch boot image" method.
4. Send the patched boot image to your computer
5. Now reboot into bootloader
6. Now on your computer install the patched boot image using fastboot flash boot "patched boot image"
7. Reboot and profit!
Hope this helped you out. Good luck

For anyone who tries the above method and has their fingerprint sensor stop working as I did, use a root file manager to remove the following directory/file:
/data/system/users/0/fpdata
/data/system/users/0/settings_fingerprint.xml
and reboot.
Certain modules required me to delete those files again, and some others broke the fingerprint functionality until they were removed and I rebooted twice. I hope someone can find a complete workaround soon.

Already tried. Bootloop also, probably since magisk manager used v 16.0 instead 16.4.
I noticed that 16.4 actually signed the boot image using test keys, as opposed to the 16.0 which didn't.
I'm a bit frustrated here man
EDIT: I have substratum but I don't have any of the themes active, so the first one is a go. Installing magisk however...

So, now you're stuck in a bootloop?
Also, yes I used version 16.0 (you can never go wrong with a stable release)

Technically, I'm not now, since I flashed the original boot.img
But yes, if I installed magisk either via the patched boot.img or TWRP, I get a bootloop
Actually idk if bootloop or nah since I can't access logcat via adb, but it's on the bootlogo for like 5 mins (regular start time is 30-ish sec)

That was the first thing I tried, in fact. I have to use magisk 16.4 as well or else the fingerprint reader refuses to work no matter what. You haven't run into this issue at all? What's your setup if I might ask, and did you patch the boot image from the oreo update zip to install magisk?

I just watched a video tutorial to root it and keep stock recovery. Another thing to take note of is that I upgraded to Oreo using TWRP instead of stock recovery (yes, I didn't think it was possible on this phone).
Once I upgraded to Oreo, it reverted back to stock recovery. As you read above, I got stuck in a bootloop because I had substratum themes active, but I fixed it by using the stock recovery to factory reset it. (It's also nice to factory reset after a major OS upgrade so that you don't encounter any problems with old files)
If anyone's interested in a video, here's the one I watched:
Note: always make backups of your personal data!!!

So you did a factory reset and magisk is working properly? I can boot twrp without installing, but still no go using that method. Yes, I also used TWRP to install oreo, I didn't think it was possible either, but it finished flawlessly. Except the magisk thingy.
Can you mount /data in TWRP after oreo?

To answer your first question: yes, I did the basic setups, restored my apps and then installed magisk the way I explained above.
Secondly, did you try installing the latest TWRP? Because I didn't want to install TWRP until I have the stock recovery and TWRP with the latest Oreo kernels.
I saw this morning that shakalaca uploaded TWRP with the latest kernel, so I boot it through fastboot and saw that by default the following partitions were mounted: /recovery, /data, /cache. I tried /system to see if it works and it does.
I hope this answers your question and good luck!

Also tried live-booting TWRP and installing magisk (leaving stock recovery), left the boot.img unpatched
Installed the latest TWRP, the /data and internal got mounted, but after flashing magisk, bootloop again (still bootlogo after 10 minutes) even after wiping dalvik.
Cache is unwipeable somehow, is this an issue?

Yes, actually I just did update via TWRP, it installs flawlessly. HOWEVER, it only applies to the Oreo ROM, not the N or M ROMs. N and M needs stock recovery (the boot.img contains recovery too)

I was able to reflash the update via twrp by modifying the update script a bit (spat out errors about the twrp recovery having a more recent build date than the update zip) Everything seems so far so good! I haven't had issues with my fingerprint yet.

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

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

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.

We only need the boot.img(correct one) to proceed with root no need to download the entire stock rom.

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.

OnePlus 8 [IN2015]-[A13-F15]-Stock Boot-Recovery & Patched Boot vs Modded Recovery with ADB Enabled

OnePlus 8 series has just got F15 Update with Dec Security Patch and few improvements. Since it's Incremental Update so it'll be little annoying to extract stock images from payload.bin. So attached to this post are :
+ Stock boot image of IN2105-F15
+ Magisk patched boot image of IN2105-F15
+ Stock recovery image of IN2105-F15 ( in case )
+ Modded recovery image of IN2105-F15 with ADB Enabled, Allow-mock-location and Debuggable are both enabled.
How :
Just simply flashing the images u want using fastboot command.
Cheers! [And Happy New Year Yall]

Hi, I just bought this phone with this F15 update. Should I root it and flash your version ? I'm looking to have the full cam back. thanks

OnePlus 8 series has just got F15 Update with Dec Security Patch and few improvements. Since it's Incremental Update so it'll be little annoying to extract stock images from payload.bin. So attached to this post are :
+ Stock boot image of IN2105-F15
+ Magisk patched boot image of IN2105-F15
+ Stock recovery image of IN2105-F15 ( in case )
+ Modded recovery image of IN2105-F15 with ADB Enabled, Allow-mock-location and Debuggable are both enabled.
How :
Just simply flashing the images u want using fastboot command.
Cheers! [And Happy New Year Yall]

Yes, if your bootloader is unlocked.

I used modified payload_dumper script bro. But in fact, if you're already rooted, you can do it easily since our device is A/B

Yes but always when I update my phone I need to unroot and then I can't get boot.img of incremental. Btw I flashed F15 boot.img modified with magisk and now my wifi isn't working and is stuck on turning on. Strange. What to do Now?

You sure that ur device's IN2015? Cuz this happened means smt wrong with the kernel ( which inside boot.img and sometimes in dtbo.img too ). And I can only give out 1 guess that is ur device is not In2015

About the OTA update without lossing root, just don't reboot when System update finished its job and ask to reboot. Instead, Open Magisk, disable all modules, then choose to install to Inactive Slot. After finish, reboot like normal and u'll still have root!

Well the problem is that If I try to install update it won´t install when I´m rooted. Always saying error and only thing that helps is to flash stock boot.

I got your stock boot.img; patched with magisk app; flashed through PC fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img) and that´s all. I wasn´t disabling any verity; what´s that? Also do you have an app that works for updating with oxygen updater pls? I downloaded a zip but can´t find an working updater app that install zips...

When flash non-stock images into stock firmware, we'll have to disable AVB ( Android verified boot ) by flashing vbmeta image ( fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img ) ( OOS13 on 1+ devices may need to flash vbmeta_system too )

Well. I don't quite understand how to use oxygen updater to update since when I download incremental in oxygenupdater and try to install it through OPocalupdate it fails after like 20% installing same like if i try to install it through classic updater. In oxygenupdater it recommends to switch to full but when you switch to full it doesn't show incrementals, just big system updates like from OOS12.1 to OOS13.

So you do it in this order: Go to magisk and select flash to inactive slot -> do OTA update through OPlocalupdate app -> restart phone? Does it have any effect to select flashing magisk to inactive slot before I start OTA udpate? Because it seems like the incremental OTA udpates can install only on unrooted phone with Stock boot.img if I leave it rooted it always stops due to error.
