How To Guide [GUIDE] [Magisk] [Unlock / ROOT / Keep Root] OOS 14.0.0.202

[Marucins]

Also for me the application from oneplus does not see the downloaded updatesby oxygen update.
After all, I always update in the same way. Deactivates Root (restore), In the settings I start to proses update (OTA). Install on an inactive slot and restart.
I've never had problems with that.

And even though I have a phone in the Europe version, I have been installing the Global version for some time (back then what magnificent OP, did not want to release updates for Europe only India and the global version).

How are you able to make the System Update apk see the incremental update?

Mine doesn't see the zip although it's in the root directory.

Well when I was on F-16 it found it okay..
I just reinstalled the A12 system update app and it's not finding it for me either now.
Although if I use the other system update application it works fine...
Here it is ...

Hello,

I cannot update to F.17 - I am currently on F.16 and all variations of the Oneplus update APK are failing around 61 or 62% installation progress. I have uninstalled magisk entirely but it did not find a backup of my stock boot.img. Does someone have the stock boot.img available for F16? I think I may need to flash that back onto the phone for the installation to proceed. If anyone has other ideas please let me know, I am hoping I won't need to do a factory reset


EDIT: I went ahead and factory reset, and was able to update to firmware F.17. However the patched boot.img for F.17 AA that is linked to in the OP (https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-magisk-unlock-root-keep-root-oos-13-f-72.4252373/post-87806983) appears to be stock and not with magisk added... can anyone advise me how to inject magisk into the boot.img or can they give me the correct file.


***EDIT 2:*** I was able to boot from the patched F.16 boot file and then patch the stock F.17 posted earlier. Here is a magisk patched F.17 boot.img, please update the OP when possible

That's awesome you ended up figuring it all out yourself..
That's the way you do it.
I had the same issue when I went to restore image when I was on F-16.
It didn't have a backup of my stock boot image so what I did is I just downloaded F16 stock boot img. from one of these threads and flashed it with EX kernal manager Flasher tool .
After doing that everything worked perfectly...

This is the same issue I'm having but I'm trying to avoid having to wipe my device because I have MFA for a few things lol

Which app do you use? I use Microsoft Authenticator and it can be backed up to the cloud in settings

Hi,

dumb questions:

I want temporarily root for using swift backup.

Do I have to do the whole process of temporarily booting the patched bootloader - install magisk - direct install in magisk - and everything turning back

Or

Is there a shorter way to gain root access for using swift backup?

BTW
Relocking the bootloader wipes anything?

Regards
Andsie

I would think that the temporary gaining root will allow swift back to get root access. Relocking bootloader wipes everything indeed.
Why don't you use oneplus clone phone or if you are using OOS 13 there is an option to make a backup thru Settings?

 

[Andsie]

Oneplus switch does not migrate as much as swift backup does...

 

[Andsie]

What does the switch "oem-unlock" in developer preferences does if turned off?

Rooted device properly running...

 

[patkoz16]

fastboot boot boot.img or fastbot flash boot boot.img

 

[Steve0007]

fastboot boot boot.img or fastbot flash boot boot.img

We don't want to flash the magisk boot but rather boot it just to gain temporary root. Then using magisk application for direct magisk patch boot.

I am also having this issue with updating. I have even factory reset 3 times with no avail. Not sure the issue.

I updated to f17 and for the life of me can't get it rooted. I'm on global and I used payload dumper to get the boot.img and I patched it with magisk and tried to fastboot boot "magisk_patched.img" and it won't boot. When it finally does, it's not the patched img. Anyone have this issue?


Update: ok then, good talk. I got it figured out anyway, thanks for all the help.

Google authenticator, which I don't believe will allow you to backup anywhere with the new app, I do have a backup from a very old version with all of the MFA I need but it takes hours to do the restore lol

If anyone else has this issue I resolved it by uninstalling and reinstalling the oxygen updater app, when I did that it then asked if I wanted to do a full or incremental installs

I saw it said full was best for rooted devices and incremental was best because it was small updates and faster to install

After selecting the full I noticed the size changed from like 168MB to 4GB and it fully installed the updates hopefully this helps you guys out like it did me

 

[Thomas.swe]

I updated to the F.72 build with the built in system update didntd get a chance to use magisk before it restarted to patch the new partition. I tried boot the patched F.72 but in magisk i dont have the install option just patch a file.. I realy appriciate any help.

edit- I got it working

 

[Andsie]

no short way for temporarily root?

Can you explain how you did this via this tool? I would like to contribute to future releases if possible.
