Install recovery and Root - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

I apologize if this is in the wrong area.
I did a search and came up empty.
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader, install twrp and magisk on OnePlus 6t 11.1.2.2?
I have been out of the rooting scene for a long time, since SuperSU was a staple and magisk was an infant.

American locked bootloader hide root issues

hope i am not violating any forum rules here, as i know how strict they can be. I am not a noob in this area, ive rooted and flashed all my phones since my droid x on. I miss my s-off HTC so bad. I did 5 minutes of research and thought all Galaxy S7s were bootloader/recovery unlockable...only to find out the american versions arent after im stuck with s Sprint SM-G930P. I was able to root and install xposed with the engineer boot.img and odin. Since TWRP or recovery isnt an option I have tried for months to systemless root this thing to hide root and pass safetynet. Ive tried flashfire to flash SU systemless 2.78SR5 and root switch and am on android 6.0.1 PE1 firmware following guides here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s7/how-to/sm-g930p-root-t3410604 but after factory reseting and trying Rootswitch (will hide exposed but not root with flashfire installing it since bootloader lock doesnt allow TWRP) I piddled with magisk but I am not on the Equinox unlockable s7 and am just at a loss here. Any one out there know of a way to hide root with this version of S7? Im out of ideas and any help here is appreciated. When i flashfire Supersu i get the locked out modified boot img error, but selecting AP and flashing the engineer boot img will get me back up rooted but root switch is a no go. I can use buildprop/rootzwitch to set selinux permissive sstatus but still fail. I refuse to let samsung not let me root my phone properly. I ser xposed modules like snorlax being updated so there seems to be a way to use xposed modules in PoGo while hiding root/xpised but every guide i see leads to TWRP instructions. Can i adb/terminal install magisk/rootswitch? and stiil use modules? (Cart before the horse question seeing as right now i cant bypass safetynet.) HELP!!
Have you made any more progress with this by chance?

Q ~ Installing TWRP after root and magisk.?

I rooted my Op6t with a one press kinda deal here. It didn't include TWRP. Is there an easy way to just install TWRP? Though my biggest question is will this reset anything?
Thanks.

Rooting help for OnePlus 6T 9.0.15

A little background: I was rooted before updating my OnePlus 6T from system settings, then after updating (through system settings) I no longer had root and TWRP recovery so what I did was flashed TWRP following this method now I do have TWRP recovery but I am not sure which method to follow for the root process, and I have few concerns as below:
Should I flash Magisk now if so which version and which method will work for 9.0.15?
Before flashing Magisk should I flash Magisk uninstaller as well?
Do I have to flash TWRP again after flashing Magisk?
I might be asking dumb questions but I don't want to mess it up.
Greetings.
Just straight up flash the latest Magisk version, worked for me. Flash it through TWRP.
Why would you flash magisk uninstaller? I mean, I suppose it's optional?
No, you don't have to flash TWRP again.
Cheers.
Flash Magisk.
Next time, without rebooting, use Magisk mod 'TWRP A/B retention script' (search for it in Magisk modules list) just after flashing OTA via local method, and then without rebooting yet, in Magisk manager install again Magisk selecting 'other slot after OTA' option. Then only you reboot, all babies intact and in good health

Once again...one last time...

Is there a guide or How-to for rooting the G7 river, with or WITHOUT) twrp? As twtp seems to be the issue with Android 10 and no twrp 'fix' or version to fix has been released tho it's said to be in the works for a year now...I'm tired of waiting.
Is there ANYONE that'll post up an unofficial How to root the G7 river with Magisk, WITHOUT twrp? There are plenty of BU options one I'm up n running. i.e. Titanium and others.
Any guide, how-to or a link to one would be awesome but it must be for the plain G7 (River). I'd certainly be wilingl to donate towards people's time spent. A Magisk root without twrp is just fine
Been trying to get a magisk root on this phone for over a year now thanx to this dynamic backup crap making everything a pain in the @$$. This is my last plea, next stop is LOS while I save up for a Pixel 4a.
Thanks for your time.
You can install magisk manager app and create a modified boot.img with magisk on it.
What you do is extract original boot.img from stock rom zip file, put it on your phone, mod it using magisk manager and flash the modded img after. Obivously you'll need the bootloader to be unlocked for this.

I've got that much figured out...
Turns out that the guide I linked to in my last post is legit, heh, the author is on xda too.

Magisk without flashing custom recovery?

Hey,
Sorry this sounds totally noob, but I was trying to gain root access for my moto g4 play. I have already unlocked the bootloader. Is it possible to install magisk without twrp. Most guides online follows through twrp.
On official Magisk installation guide, it says to patch recovery. How can I do so?
Sorry, this is dumb but haven’t rooted anything in last 5-6 years.
Also the SD card slot on this g4 play is broken, so that’s a big problem.
