I tried searching the thing but didn't find a good answer that's why I asked it here!! Instead of telling me to search you could have linked me to something out helped me with the answer!
Thanks and welcome
Maybe only if you could scroll up and open your eyes instead of acting helpless and ready to pounce upon anyone who tries to correct you, your problem would've been long sorted.
I didn't link because it is expected that you search on your own and not clutter the group, it's pretty ironic on my part,I accept but some things are necessary to be repeated sometimes.

this probably isnt the right post but im really hesitate to upgrade to android 11 due to posts and issues posted.. used to be able to upgrade without losing root via retentation a/b and magisk upgrade. does the method still works if i were to upgrade locally via OTA package over to Android 11 ?

    Hey everyone,

    Here are the latest open beta builds for the OnePlus 6 and 6T.

    Changelog
    Code:
    [B]System:[/B]
     • Now unlock the LockBox without any problems in File Manager
     • No more crashes in the Launcher with apps in full-screen display
     • Got rid of blank screens while clearing up the background apps
     • Updated Android security patch to 2020.03

    Note:
    1. Please keep in mind that this is beta software. These builds are not as stable as our official OTAs. By installing this update, you accept the potential risks.
    As always, please share your feedback through https://forums.oneplus.com/feedback/. For more information on submitting bugs or suggestions please refer to How to report a bug and feel free to share your product suggestions via the Community app (please assign the category as OnePlus 6/6T with Android 10).

    Please note:
    • If you have already flashed an Open Beta (you are currently running the latest Open Beta), you will receive this new build as an OTA.
    • If you are not running open beta software and would like to, please refer to the flashing instructions and the full ROM on the downloads page.
    • Once you migrate to the beta path, you will continue to receive Open Beta OTAs. You will no longer receive the regular Official Stable OTAs.
    • Moving back to the Official OTA path from the Beta path will require a full install and clean flash (full wipe of all data and cache).

    Make sure to let us know how you feel about the beta builds here in the thread too, we are watching.

    Guys just like to mention here that BETA is its initial stages so expect bugs and broken functionalities. We try our best to test all major functionalities before moving the build from a closed stage to open for you guys to test it further and share your findings as there can be infinite possibilities of something still being broken and that is were you guys come into spotlight :fingers-crossed:

    If you take a look around, there are not many OEMs who are offering 9.0 builds even in beta. I don't want to take any names here but some of them have much bigger development teams, staff and resources. We are still working towards the a better and sweeter pie experience for you and that will not only cover the current devices, but will trickle down till the OnePlus 3/3T, for the record, there are very few 2016 devices which will get the pie treatment.

    Having said that I truly appreciate your support and participation in OnePlus Beta Program and consider you guys our core community members who give us our true feedback, good or bad always valuable to us.

    Thank you once again for your continued support and active participation in the beta program, expect bugs and subsiquent fixes, its a cat and mouse chase :laugh:

    Let's keep the thread moving forward towards positive contributions and a better, sweeter pie experience :highfive:
