[GUIDE] How to Root OnePlus 8 Pro without TWRP

[aitormix]

That's kinda weird. I mean, I can't figure out how the heck a device running a Magisk patched boot.img could not be rooted. When you open the Magisk Manager app, Magisk appears not to be installed ?

Edit : I updated this morning to OOS 11.0.2.2.IN11BA and rooted using the method I explained but I had a little issue ! The first time I booted magisk_patched.img, it booted properly but Magisk Manager was showing Magisk as uninstalled. After booting the magisk patched image again, all was fine. Then I flashed it on the boot partition and it booted properly rooted. Try to boot the Magisk Patched boot image again, it worked for me so it could possibly work for you too !

It doesn't works for me, I tried to boot and flash some times before posting.

And yes, it does the process good but in Magisk Manager appears not installed.

Hi !

There are two ways to root that device that worked for me so far. One of them is this one and have always worked flawlessly. It needs, as a prerequisite, USB debugging to be toggled on :

- download payload dumper on your computer

- extract the payload.bin from the archive of the rom you're currently on

- put the payload in the folder named payload input

- run the payload application and wait until you see "boot" on the command prompt at least

- go to the payload output folder, copy the boot.img and paste it on your phone sdcard

- open Magisk Manager, press Install > Patch a file with Magisk, and select your boot.img

- copy and paste the patched file (which name, by default, is magisk_patched.img) in a folder of your computer

- press shift and right click in this folder and open a command prompt

- type "adb devices" just to make sure your device is recognized, if it is, type "adb reboot fastboot"

- once you're in fastboot mode, type "fastboot devices" to make sure that your phone is recognized and, if it is, type "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img" (you can skip that step but I don't recommend to do so as it enables you to make sure that your device will boot properly after flashing the patched boot.img)

- if you didn't skip the previous step and it worked, reboot into fastboot mode, make sure that your device is recognized again and then type "fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img"

- wait until flashing is done and then type "fastboot reboot"

You should be rooted properly at this point. Please excuse my English, as it's not my native language, I surely made some mistakes !

Have a good day and don't hesitate to tell me if this method worked for you !

Hey all, Not really sure where to ask this question. Hoping someone here can help or point me in right direction. Verizon OnePlus 8 UW. No root or anything outta the norm. Constantly having intermittent data loss, intermittent hotspot loss, calls and texts as well I'm sure. Since they pushed update couple weeks back. Message I get from there network troubleshooter says (Your phone can't auto switch too a faster network if it's available. Your better off too use Cdma/Lte or global mode for better signal strength) Far as I know Cdma had been reserved for EMT/Fire etc. But can't edit anyway cause no root & Vzw. Problem seems too arise only when the silly 5g icon comes up. So thinking when it tries too switch too 5g its having that intermittent loss (cause no true Vzw 5g here) going back to global mode an getting hung up somehow as a simple restart fixes it temporarily. If I was rooted I believe a prl or apn change would fix it maybe. So tired of dealing with Verizon & there Techs about ready too trash the phone completely

I used payload_dumper to extract boot images for OnePlus 8 and 8 pro Android 11 Stable ( https://www.xda-developers.com/down...receive-stable-android-11-oxygenos-11-update/ )

I also patched images for OnePlus 8 Pro using Magisk 21.0

I couldn't patch images for Oneplus 8 for some reason, you'll have to do this yourself.

Uploaded everything to my google drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1s73KosZx2dUtgZn9vMNKwIlCFpQ2l_-8
@mauronofrio feel free to add those to your repository, those will be especially usable as there's no TWRP for Android 11 for our devices yet.

Thank you. I tried patching the boot.img from the OTA zip using the Manager, but it didn't have root using abd boot magisk_patched.img. Your IMG did. I then direct installed Magisk from the Manager and now have root after a reboot.

I may have spoken too soon. Lost root after another reboot. Tried to fastboot boot oneplus-8-pro_15.O.30_boot_patched.img again and think it bootlooped. Trying again.

Edit2: oopsie. Seems I had 2 modules installed that I'd forgotten about. Viper4Android (which isn't 100% happy w/ OOS11) and something else I forgot the name of. I also had to use the Beta Magisk 21.1.

I have the exact same problem. I had root before but uninstalled Magisk to fix cellular problem and now I'm stuck without root.

The link in the first post ( https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=308380) only has Magisk patched firmware up to 11.5.6 for the OnePlus 8 Pro. My phone has 11.5.12IN11AA firmware (I think tha'ts 11.5.12 Global). Does anyone have a Magisk patched image for the 10.5.12 Global? Please share. Thanks.

I finally fixed this problem, I noticed that the patched image I was generating were always 42 mb which is not normal so I did some research and found nothing xD but came across a post having all stock and patched boot img and was tempted to redownload his patched boot img but noticed again that he was using Magisk Canary to build and not the normal Magisk Manager, so retried to patch my boot.img with Magisk Canary and reflashing it and BOOM it worked.

Try creating the img using Magisk Canary, scroll down in the readme.md till you find Magisk Manager Canary and click on it to download the APK.

I hope @mauronofrio will eventually update the Magisk patched firmware to the newer versions, the issues like this is exactly why I don't want to patch my own fw as I'm not a developer.

 

[rashadpowell]

i made a huge mistake. I am using the oneplus 8 pro and used the oxygen updater app to upgrade to OS 11.0.1.1.IN11AA. But i forgot to uninstall magisk modules and install to inactive slot. So now i have lost root, and just reinstalled magisk manager 8.0.3 but magisk installed says "N/A" . Any way to get magisk installed and regain root access?

Hi,
I just got my device today, been sitting for about a hour - 1:30 and for some reason, i am able to adb reboot bootloader but when i enter fastboot oem unlock, it just sits there <waiting for device> I've made sure to install all OP drivers and ADB along with SDK etc, if it would make a difference.
other devices in devices managers shows android but when i am in fastboot it's not coming up as an ADB device? do i need to update the phone first? any replies and help is greatly appreciated

trying with the all in 1 tool and once it boots the device to fastboot, then phone goes missing and not found.

oxygen 10.5.12in11aa, oem setting is ticked and so is usb debugging


decided to try on my wife laptop and it worked within a few mins after installing adb... not sure what is breaking the connection between my phone and PC when the phone is in fastboot??

 

[awdrifter]

Does anyone know if I can use the 10.5.6 Magisk Patched fw on 10.5.7 fw? I found an official downgrade zip that will downgrade the phone to 10.5.7, is this close enough to work? Thanks.

 

[awdrifter]

I just tried patching the fw myself with Magisk Canary but it failed. The magisk_patched.img is the same size as the original. I tried it anyways and Magisk can't successfully install and it fails the safetynet check. I will PayPal you US$5 for any successfully patched 10.5.12IN11AA firmware. PM me.

Edit: The direct install seem to have worked? I used Root Checker it says I have root, but I still fail SafetyNet check.

anyone can send original build.prop?

Had the same issue when using canary magisk. I used canary for initial root and then installed the beta. After that safetynet passed

 

[awdrifter]

So far the SafetyNet hasn't caused me any issues yet, I'll definitely keep that in mind. I have changed the update channel from Canary to Beta. So on the next Magisk update I'll go back to Beta.

Have you enabled Magisk Hide in Magisk settings?

 

[awdrifter]

So I did the MagiskHide and renaming the Magisk Manager to something else yesterday, I got a Response is Invalid error. But I just checked now, it says Success. So I guess maybe either it took some time to register or a restart did the trick.

 

[reppinrengar]

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I have the IN2025 model which is unlocked. I downloaded the 10.5.5-GLOBAL-magisk_patched.img and boot to fastboot and type the code:

fastboot boot boot.img

It reboots and goes to crashdump mode.
I have drivers and adb installed.
What am I doing wrong?

 

[shingokuyo]

Hi. You have to type "fastboot boot" the exact name of your. img file""
