STEPS to root your device:

I recommand to update first your device with all OTA available using Settings/updates before unlocking & rooting it. It is also recomended not to set any lockscreen password before unlocking the bootloader/rooting. So if you have a lockscreen password / fingerprint just remove it, root your device and set it up after rooting your device.
​

Unlock the Bootloader and Root the OnePlus 11​

Step 1 – Enable OEM unlocking​

You need to enable OEM unlocking, which can be done by enabling the developer settings on your device. To do so, go to Settings > About phone and repeatedly tap Build number. Developer options will then be added to your system settings, where you can then enable OEM unlocking.

Step 2 – Unlock your bootloader​

Set up adb, reboot into your bootloader, and run the following command. Yes, it’s really that simple!

"fastboot flashing unlock"
You can reboot into the bootloader by switching on USB debugging, setting up adb and fastboot and typing “adb reboot bootloader”. Alternatively, you can hold volume down and the power button to boot up your device. USB debugging is also located under the developer options.

Unlocking the bootloader wipes your device :

Root your Oneplus 11 (with Bootloader already unlocked)​

Patch OnePlus 11 Init_Boot.img via Magisk​

1. Download and install the lastest Stable Magisk App starting from v26.1 works fine.
2. Then launch it and tap on the Install button next to Magisk.
3. After that, choose ‘Select and Patch a File’, and navigate to the stock init_boot.img file, and select it.
   
   
4. Then tap on the Let’s Go button situated at the top right.
   
   
5. The init_boot.img file will now be patched and placed under the Downloads folder on your device. You should transfer this file to the platform-tools folder on your PC and rename it to magisk_patched_boot.img.
   
   

Boot OnePlus 11 to Fastboot Mode​

1. Now connect your device to the PC via a USB cable. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled.
2. Then head over to the platform-tools folder, type in CMD in the address bar, and hit Enter. This will launch the Command Prompt.
   
   
3. Type in the following command in the CMD window to boot your device to Fastboot Mode "adb reboot bootloader"
   
   
   
4. To verify the Fastboot connection, type in the below command and you should get back the device ID.fastboot devices
   
   

Flashing the magisk_init_boot​

1. Connect your phone to your pc and boot it into fastboot mode. You can leave it connected throughout this guide.

2. First, enter the following command in the PowerShell/Terminal window to ensure that your PC can communicate with the phone over the fastboot interface.

"fastboot devices"

The command should return your phone’s unique ID. In case it doesn’t, then make sure that you have the required USB drivers installed and restart your PC. You can also use TOOL ALL IN ONE, not officially updated to Oneplus 9 Pro but once install go to Others options and go to Install drivers.

3. Code once in fastboot mode:
"fastboot flash init_boot magisk_init_boot.img"
Change to the exact name "magisk_init_boot.img" of the init_boot that has been patched
"fastboot reboot"

Step 2 - Reboot and your device is now rooted !​

Keep Root after OTA Updates​

How to update OTA and KEEP ROOT
It is advised to disable or even uninstall all magisk modules to be safe!
How: go to Magisk application/modules/disable &/or uninstall


Option 1: With full OTA Access (BA/DA) :

Step 1 - Get & install the full OTA zip file​

1. Go to System-Update or update get the OTA using Oxygen Updater

2. Tap OK when the message that you are rooted appears

3. Tap "Download and install" or local update if OTA from Oxygen Updater
For Android 13, install this APK "OPLocalUpdate_For_Android13.apk"

4. Wait until you are prompted to reboot - DO NOT REBOOT NOW! Use the above application to make sure your device will not reboot

5. Open Magisk Application

a. Select the Install option.
b. Use Install to inactive slot

Step 2 - Reboot and enjoy your device still rooted with latest OTA installed !​

​

Option 2: with incremental OTA Access (AA) :​

Option 2A : Get back your original init_boot image using Magisk Manager
1. open the Magisk Manager application, select “Uninstall”, and choose the “Restore Images” option. Magisk will restore your phone’s stock init_boot image that was backed up during the rooting process.

2. Now go to “Settings” → “System” → “System updates” and select “Download and Install Now” to install the OxygenOS OTA update on your rooted OnePlus 11

3. Open Magisk Manager

a. Select the Install option.
b. Use Install to inactive slot

Reboot and enjoy​

Option 2B : Get back your original init_boot image
You can find your originel init_boot.img in our thread from your current OTA.
Go to fastboot.
Code once in fastboot mode:
"fastboot flash init_boot original_init_boot.img"
You will obviously loose Root access once you have flash the originel_init_boot.
Then just flash the incremental OTA using your system OTA or Oxygen Updater.
To get root again just read the above guide :

Patch OnePlus 11 Init_Boot.img via Magisk​

or
"fastboot --set-active=b"
Then reboot with the command:
"fastboot reboot"

Option 6 - Wipe data with fastboot command​

Open Magisk App on your phone. You will see the Uninstall button in the app. Just click on Uninstall button.
Then you need to click on Complete Uninstall. Your phone will be rebooted automatically.

Option B : Thru fastboot mode

Change to the exact name "Original_init_boot.img" of the init_boot that has been posted in the above zip file
"fastboot reboot"
Once booted, remove Magisk application

Option C : after removing Magisk app entirely Flash the current or latest full OTA zip twice. Why twice, to ensure both slot have the latest update flashed with original init_boot.

Step 2 - Relock the bootloader​

1. Execute the following command to proceed for bootloader unlocking: ""fastboot flashing unlock""

2. A verification window will appear on your mobile device asking to confirm the action. Just highlight “Relock Bootloader”using volume buttons and hit the power button to confirm.

3. The phone will initialize to relock the bootloader. It will take some time to reboot after resetting the whole phone into a locked stage.

4. Your device is now locked again !

Sorry for the pollution, but : just WOW. Thank you for your valued time and gathering all this here.

> I didnt know you can skip uninstalling magisk if you do a full OTA update, nice.
> You actually cannot clear cache from the recovery on this phone (with included recovery that is)
> Despite following the instructions thoroughly (except the full wiping cache), i still cannot use Netflix. Might be really device related though since i never had issues will my previous devices

Can I extract the stock init_boot after unlocking bootloader cause I didn't do that before unlocking bootloader. Plus, can anyone teach me on how to extract the stock init_boot. I'm using OxygenOS 13 A.08 CPH2449- EU : BA.

You can't get root with locked bootloader on this (and most) phones.
Anyway, root doesn't necessarily mean that you won't get L1. On my rooted OnePlus 8T I still have L1.

i am on cph2451_11_A09...patching above a06 initA06 and flashing on this build works or not?

i am on cph2451_11_A09...patching above a06 initA06 and flashing on this build works or not?

No, you should better use your current init_boot.img to patch it. Now we can use the latest v26.0 Magisk app

Hi ,can someone please post boot.img for CPH2449 (EU) A.09? I accidentally flashed init_boot over boot... what a silly move.

Alternatively, the link to the A.09 OTA, I can extract it myself, I tried looking for it but for now nobody posted it.

 

[_Johnito_]

@geomass this is untouched boot.img for CPH2449 (EU) A.09

But FWI you could just retrieve it yourself easily with lets say Fastboot Enhance and the firmware itself of course.

 

[geomass]

Thank you so much @_Johnito_ . The timing of your response is insane

I don't use windows so can't run fastboot enhance. How can it be done with fastboot?

 

[_Johnito_]

You are welcome. I am not the most informed guy here by far but my guess is that if you borked boot.img on your phone, it is probably better to recover it from the vanilla firmware more than from the phone (with fastboot commands). I hope i get your question right though.

For general cases, instructions on "how to backup persist.img" on this great tutorial can be applied for any android partition / any desktop OS with a command line software.

 

[geomass]

I tried booting into that image you provided, and while it correctly sends it to the device and reboots the device, it goes into fastboot every time.

Flashing it fails every time, like so:

fastboot flash boot boot_CPH2449_11_A.09.img
Sending 'boot' (196608 KB) FAILED (Status read failed (No such device))
fastboot: error: Command failed
