[GUIDE] How to root OnePlus Nord

[luckana]

i flashed the latest 1.3 kernel on the latest OxygenOS11 EU build for the Nord and i observe rather weird behaviour in terms of regulation of frequency spikes, general cpu consumption and scheduling... for example even when i turn my screen off, Spotify's current played audio starts chopping as hell, sometimes even fully dissapearing for up to 10 seconds. That's while playing through the one plus buds z with hd audio on. Is that abnormality related to the idle freq only

Received my device yesterday and rooted with this guide; works perfectly on 11.1.1.2!

Which guide, the one in the opening post or a subsequent one written up by someone specifically giving instructions for rooting 11.x OS?

Just want to share my experience. My phone uploaded itself to android 11.1.1.2 so I lost root.
I just followed op steps to regain root :

1. Bootloader was already unlocked
2. Downloaded 11.1.1.2 here
3. Downloaded payload dumper to extract boot.img
4. Copy boot.img to phone. Patch it with magisk app
5. It gives me a new patched boot.img
6. Copy it to pc
7. Boot phone to fastboot
8. Type the command fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
9. Reboot phone

Thanks for posting how it worked for you. This is my normal process. Except for your step 8 I normally do the getvar command to find whether to flash to boot_a or ..._b. Did you not have to do that this time?

I'm still worried about bootloops and don't have a solid backup solution without a proper TWRP.

I have never did the getvar step. Neither the first time I rooted the phone and the last time. The command fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img automatically choose the right slot.

Not working for 11.1.1.3 after flashing it will load forever. The only solution its to flash again the original 11.1.1.3 boot.img

Any solution for this ?

load twrp in bootloader temporary and reflash update and/or clean cache/dalvik cache.

mhh, if an update comes on the Oxygen Updater i download it within to sdcard root. Then flashing via OxygenOS in-build updater (select the local option). If successful I start Magisk and patch boot with the direct method on the inactive slot. Reboot and fine..

Maybe disable auto updating in in-build updater to prevent problems!

Ended up the exact same way.

Root working fine on 11.1.1.3 India version.... followed same steps with stock boot.img patched through magisk app and having stock recovery..

Can this be done with magisk v23? or does it update magisk after installation of magiskmanager?

[SOLVED]

Hello,

I have issues rooting my phone with magisk. Couldn't find the answer here (or anywhere else ...)

• I unlocked bootloader
• I installed a custom rom (AOSPExtended : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-11-0-0_r39-aospextended-rom-v8-4-official.4298141/)
• I patched the boot.img file (the one given at the beginning of this thread) with magisk apk
• I sent it to my pc
• I try to boot on that patched_boot.img (using "fastboot boot patched_boot.img) but it fails.

What I think is I am patching the wrong boot.img file.
Shall I extract boot.img from my custom rom ? How ? If not, how can I find the right boot.img file for my phone ?

Thanks for your help!

Solved it
In case anyone is wondering how : using payload dumper, I managed to extract "boot.img" from the custom rom (to use payload dumper, you need to unzip the custom rom into "payload_input" folder).

Good morning guys I managed to accidentally factory reset my one plus nord. Now Id like to try and get back some data from which does'nt seem to have been being backed up since i got my phone in feb. looking at all the recovery programs do do a proper scan of the phones disk can only be done when the phone is rooted.

I'm not after adding custom roms etc just want to root try a scan and then put it back if it doesn't work. I'm on os 11.1.5.5,AC01BA. I've tried a couple of rooting options kingaroot & dr.fone root. Both failed. to be to be honest i rooted my old one plus 3 years ago and then had nothing but problems later on down the line with getting ota updates. To be honest if this had not happend i would not be rooting it. certainly not after customer roms etc any more.

I have a couple of questions: -

1. I can i root my phone with out using TWRP.
2. Does magisk require the boot image copied to the device ( as I don't want to over right any further pars of the disk until I've scanned it)
3. Once rooted my phone is it easy enough to unroot. So that nothing wont install work because it feels its been rooted.

Not sure if ive posted in the right place or not.

Did somebody try flash magisk.zip directly from recovery using adb sideload? Maybe it works and would be easier method

If you know the actual a/b slot why not. But I didn't test it yet.

Hi !
I have root, and I am used, when an update is there, to first restore image with Magisk app, before updating.
Some times ago, I did a factory reset and now, with the 11.1.6.6 update, Magisk says : "stock backup doesn't exist".
I guess that the stock "image.boot" has been deleted from data when I did the factory reset.
Can you explain what I should do to update safely end keep root.
Thanks
