Hi, simple question: will I lose root if I update to the latest oos? If so, will I have to re-root and reinstall every single module?
Simple answer to that exact question: yes.
Simple solution: after the update finished installing, DO NOT RESTART. Go to Magisk, then click install and select install to inactive slot. To the question, just accept, wait for it to finish, then hit restart. Enjoy your rooted 11.0.10.10.
Note: It's recommended to disable (no need to remove) all modules before starting the version update, then enabling them again, once the update has finished and you have already done the Magisk install.
I only use 2 modules, Advanced Charging Controller and Debloater, these don't seem to have any issues staying enabled during an update, but other modules have some issues.

Will this work even taking the smaller OTA update provided through the system, rather than finding the full version and installing it manually?
As soon as you unlock the bootloader, it only offers the full zip instead of the incremental update.
I never tried otherwise, and it's recommended to use the full zip when rooted.

I only ask because the Oxygen Updater doesn't have the newest release, and recently has not had several of the full updates, apparently because OnePlus has not been releasing them. So not sure whether to proceed with just the OTA version.
As far as I know, they're the same. The full zip which you download using Oxygen Updater or by the built-in system updater will work the same, and the method of keeping root is exactly the same. After update, DO NOT restart, install Magisk via app to the inactive slot, then restart.
I got the latest update via the built-in updater, not with the Oxygen Updater app.
What does it mean; install Magisk via app to the inactive slot, then restart ?

Exactly what it means, if you already have magisk installed, tap install, then when the 4 options come up, tap install to inactive slot. Then reboot

more understand about oneplus device OTA method if you not.
Nowaday, OP device have many duplicate partitions and its call slot _a and _b.
When you using your phone, its running "active slot", and OTA will install new firmware version to "inactive slot", (to save your phone if any upate fail,..etc).
So after OTA finished, you need to use magisk to setting root (in new partition "inactive slot").
After reboot, inactive slot become active. that 2 slot active alternate after each OTA time.

Quick question; I'm on the T-Mobile OP6t. I'm running the stock rom but I'm rooted. If I wanted to update, how would I go about it? Would I just install the update and presumably lose root? So I'd have to flash magisk and re-root again after updating right?
Thanks in advance!

Updating on these phones is super simple thanks to the A/B partition.
Install update as normal but DO NOT restart immediately.
Before restarting, open Magisk manager and press "install magisk" and install to inactive slot.
Restart, done.

Would you do a local upgrade and select the full image? How do you install magisk to the inactive slot?
Pretty sure both the magisk installer and the twrp install script will automatically install to both slots

Nope.
The best thing to do is to take the standard upgrade or do local install twice to make sure both slots are at the same OS level.
When you boot TWRP then run the zip, it will install in both slots.
Magisk does not install to both slots. It only installs to the active slot.
You need to install, switch slots, reboot to TWRP again and install in that now active slots.
I make both slot_a and slot_b the same.

My mistake, just got the phone a couple days ago
If you're rooted it's going to download the whole rom anyways. If yu didn't install TWRP let it download and install and when it tells you to reboot, don't do it. Go to magisk and select uninstall, then restore from the next menu. Go to recents and close everything. Go back to magisk and select install, then install to inactive partition after OTA from the next menu. Magisk will reboot the phone when it's done installing itself to the inactive partition (where your new update is already installed) and the phone will boot to that when reboots. You've just completed a dirty flash and retained root.
This is how you update when rooted.. simple and easy

It boots into TWRP just fine but always ends in either error 1 or error 7.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
In Android 5.0 and above, Google introduced the concept of block-based OTAs. This new mechanism does certain pre-OTA block checks to verify the integrity of the device’s software. In layman terms, once the installation begins, the device partitions (like system, boot, vendor, dtbo, etc) are checked for modifications like Root, TWRP, etc. And if detected, the OTA update will fail to install.

Download OB2 OTA.zip and copie it into the root of your storage.
Go to System update --> local upgrade, choose the ota file and install it trough ota updater. Not sure what you are trying there with twrp.
This is what I'm referring to.
I'd maybe consider avoiding retaining root. Re-root afterwards.
I'll give that a shot, thanks

I would never do it that way. TWRP isn't fully stable and also not compatible with android 11. It's better to update manually.

I've never seen it done this way either. But I can't see even updater essentially doing what payload dumper and magisk do in one app, hence be suggesting to avoid rerooting.
Personally I'd never have twrp fully installed, I'd only boot it

Yes i haven't flashed twrp since OP7. Only boot if needed.
I assume you have root on Android 10.
Backup first.
Remove Magisk modules.
Download Ob2 .Put it in the root of the phone (not in any folder).
Upgrade with Settings> Local Upgrade. Don't Reboot!!!
Open Magisk Magager. Touch install. Choose (Direct Install).
Back in Magisk Manager. Touch install. Choose (Install to other slot after ota).
Reboot to system.

I have twrp on both slots. No wiping etc. in twrp or else?
Yes.
You only have to be on Android 10 stable with working root.

Boot image won't brick your device.
Now that 11.0.2.2 is available OTA, can anybody give me a quick guide on how to upgrade from my existing 11.0.1.1 without losing root?
Hi. you have to download the full rom package. disable all modules in magisk. update in local update system. especially do not restart. and in magisk manager click on install and install on inactive slot after OTA update. magisk will recreate a boot image on the inactive slot. which will become active on restart. once the restart is complete the root is kept. all that remains is to reactivate the magisk modules.

Hello.... Normally you have to install the twrp a/b script after install the local update and then the magisk in inactive slot.....
That was ok in a lot of older updates and works.
This time if can't install the twrp a/b script. Everytime I get a fault message that twrp is not present....?!

That script is for older devices that has recovery inside boot.
OnePlus devices launches with Android 10 has a separate recovery slot. This means in order to install TWRP again your need to flash it with fastboot again.

Have said this before, shouldn't be any confusion, like I said I have a guide for it.
Extract from the guide for retaining root.
Update from 11 stable to 11+ stable whilst retaining root
For these guides the version used, was canary, simply change the channel to canary then select install / update:
Magisk Manager - Magisk (Canary) version: 1469b82a (21101)
Magisk - Magisk (Canary) version: 1469b82a (21101)
1. Download the relevant firmware for your device via oxygen updater
2. Open Magisk and remove all the modules you have installed, then reboot
**NOTE- At this point I copied out the whole firmware to my computer and extracted payload then extracted the contents of payload using payload dumper, the full firmware for 11.0.1.1 EU IN2023BA ,the boot img and patched boot img are at the foot of this guide.
3. Open up settings / system / system updates, click the cog and select "Local Upgrade" the file should be listed on screen, if not then move the file to the root of your phones storage /sdcard
4. Click install and allow it to go through the process
**NOTE- DO NOT REBOOT AT THIS POINT YOU WILL LOSE THE ABILITY TO PATCH ON THE FLY, SIMPLY BACK OUT OF THE SCREEN WHICH SAYS INSTALLATION COMPLETED. RESTART TO EXPERIENCE NEW FEATURES
5. Open up magisk and click install (you may see two install buttons, top one is magisk and the bottom is magisk manager, we need the top one)
6. You'll be faced with a screen that has several options, you want to select Install to Inactive slot (After OTA) then select "LET'S GO" once complete click reboot
7. Once your phones booted up your system / files should all remain as they were and you should have root access.
Thread:. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/how-to/root-uk-eu-patched-magisk-boot-img-t4175033
You have an easier method if the OTA update is there in the system. Follow below guide. Specifically, step 2,3 and 5. That's all you need. You don't need the whole update. Tested this twice. 11 to 11.0.1.1 and so on.

Steps 5 and 6 did not preserve root comping from OOS10. Magisk Manager is still there though. Looks like I'll be looking for a way to apply root again.
Edit: used the boot image from this link to get root back. I wasn't able to patch the file myself using Magisk Manager and fastboot boot it and have root enabled. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83775505&postcount=471
I was able to use the oneplus-8-pro_15.O.30_boot_patched IMG from the link to adb boot oneplus-8-pro_15.O.30_boot_patched.img from fastboot screen and then direct install Magisk from the manager. I retained root after a reboot.

That must be you're magisk manager and or you left magisk modules enabled..
Otherwise your phone wouldn't be booted at all..
To confirm, the steps have been used 100's of times without problems, the few that have issues have specific problems, namely what I mentioned above but more often than not they have an issue they aren't aware of and don't declare to be so I can't help them.
I would hazard a guess that that is the problem

It was a couple of modules I forgot about. Got it sorted now. Thanks.
Not sure if the question was answered really. I have the ota update alert but can't install the ota without flashing the original boot.img (not a problem just have to get in front of a computer)..I tried this method but the full image on oxygen updater and OnePlus support site is 11.0.1.1 and not the new 11.0.2.2.
What's the easiest way of doing an ota without having to flash back stock boot.img, taking the ota, and reinstalling magisk/patching image if there's one?
Wait for the 11.0.2.2 Full update to keep root; that's what a few of us are waiting on as well

You were able to take the ota without reflashing stock boot.img? It's currently failing for me and I'm fairly sure it's because I have a patched boot partition (this happened already when I upgraded via ota from oxygen 10 that's why I'm fairly sure). Let me know.
Sounds like because of your patched boot.
No, I have not seen the full ota 11.0.2.2 to download, I was giving an example....
Hi everyone,
I'm running:
- Oneplus 8 Pro + latest Magisk
- Android 12, version C33
- I see there's an update to C35
I have Oxygen Updater which can be set to:
- incremental
- full updates (recommended for rooted phones)
I see a lot of threads here (some with conflicting info) about incremental, full updates, OTA updates if not via Oxygen Updater, Magisk flash to inactive slot, Magisk rooting normally, etc.
While reading all of them I got more or less confused
Can someone help me with an advice as to what would be the right way to upgrade from my C33 to C35 without ending up with a boot loop and a weekend of recovering my phone? (already had this 2 times and it was a horrific experience to go through)?
Do I download the full update with Oxygen Updater and then after install, without rebooting, go to Magisk and install to inactive slot?
Thank you!

YMMV but this worked for me.
I used the "Oxygen Updater" app to download the F.62 (Android 13) Full OTA and flashed it using the local upgrade app from OnePlus (I have stock recovery). Make sure to re-install Magisk to inactive slot before rebooting.
After that l upgraded to F.63 (latest OTA) following these instructions:
Open Magisk Manager, select “Uninstall” and choose the “Restore Images” option. Magisk will restore your phone’s stock boot image that was backed up during the rooting process.
Now go to “Settings” → “System” → “System updates” and select “Download and Install Now” to install the OOS OTA update on your rooted phone.
After the update finishes, DO NOT REBOOT the phone. Since you restored the stock boot image, the root access will be lost if your reboot right now.
Now open Magisk Manager, press “Install” and select “Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)” from the list of available methods.
Finally, select “Let’s Go” to confirm and install Magisk to the inactive slot (where the OxygenOS OTA has been installed).
After Magisk is installed, reboot your phone by pressing the ‘Reboot’ button.

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
