Here's mine...
1. Download a full 2gb+ rom from oneplus updater
2. Once finished, install it via settings / system / system update / gear icon / local update..
3. Wait till it says 100% installed and is now asking you to reboot the phone
4. Do not reboot, instead, hit the back button.. go to magisk manager, hit install / install to inactive slot . Then reboot.
5. After a reboot, you will still be rooted but lose your twrp.. so install TWRP VIA magisk..
6. After TWRP is installed, it will say, unrooted phone. So install MAGISK AGAIN via direct install, then reboot..

To follow up if you look in magisk there is a twrp retention script to keep twrp after too I flash that then magisk to inactive slot

i cant understand this because this is what i did the previous time.
i download the update, didnt installed it and install the twrp retention.
after i was doing it i installed the magisk to inactive slot and then reebot, and my phone was gone

That's weird I've done it several times since owning mine and never lost anything

So I'm not supposed to do anything? All the specified installes that I am supposed to do, for example the installation of TWRP through MAGISK, should this solve my problem and after the restart I actually stay with both MAGISK and TWRP or should I do something/download and install something from beginning? I will now try to do it again in the hope that this time it will work.


edit:
what should i do if i have custom kernel and not stock?

Do 1-6 update... If you want a custom kernel like RZ kernel
Proceed to step
7. After having twrp installes, reboot to twrp, then flash a custom kernel of your liking..
8. Then reboot phone..

And does it matter if I download the update via the UPDATER or I can through the settings directly download and just not reebot?

find the flash-all for your update the full one and goto fastboot do update that way or use payload dump to decompress the payload to flash just download flash-all

1. Download full update via 'oxygen updater' app
2. Go to settings/system/system update/ gear icon
/local update and hit 'update'
3. After it's installed - do not reboot - go to Magisk/
downloads and find TWRP A/B retention script and
install it - do not reboot
4. Go to Magisk (home icon) install/ direct install - do
not reboot
5. After that, again Magis /install /install to inactive
slot (after OTA)
6. Reboot

After everything is done, install kernel or whatever - check in that specific thread for install instructions

Hmm.. ive forgotten if you can download the full rom via system updater if you're phone has root access.
I didnt bother too. I always download a full update via oxygen updater.. then install it via system updater.. then install magisk to inactive slot, reboot, install twrp via magisk, then install magisk using direct install option, then reboot to twrp.. flash my favorite rz kernel, then reboot :laugh:

It seems so easy, but it's exactly what I did before and just deleted my whole phone, everything from everything. It was not even WIPE, it was a total erasure of all internal memory

I don't know what to tell you, I'm using this procedure my self for some time and all the problems that I had was my fault and carelessness...

Back up your device and try again, maybe everything will be alright, if not - I'm not sure how to help you
