T-Mobile is not on 11.0.3.1 - Is this for another carrier device? If so it shouldnt be posted here, it will cause trouble for T-Mobile users
Hmm that's interesting. My phone must be a freak case then since it is a GM1915 running 11.0.3.1 but I'll remove my post to prevent any confusion

Sorry, but now, i must flash the 11.0.1.4 and will wipe my phone ? i'm searching another solution to flash this version, without wipe my phone please :( i'm rooted in 11.0.1.3.
Thx
No, NEVER flash the boot image for a version you are not running.
  1. In Magisk Manager, Tap Uninstall Magisk -> Restore Images
  2. Go to your phone Settings -> System -> System Update and take the OTA. Your phone will reboot automatically when it's done.
  3. Reboot to fastboot and flash the 11.0.1.4 boot image using instructions in the OP

Looks like you are running a custom ROM based on GM21AA. The thread is for stock TMO versions ending in GM31CB

Whoops posted the wrong screenshot lol. I must be confused because I didn't realize there were more than one T-Mobile version of the GM1915? I did a clean install on mine and it auto updated to 11.0.3.1 so I assumed everyone else's did as well. Sorry for the confusion

GM21AA is the unlocked international firmware. The T-Mobile branded devices are GM31CB

I am not very good with things like this. Am I supposed to download magisk to my pc or my phone? And what about the boot.img? Will this allow me to use international firmware?

This guide is specifically for stock T-Mobile firmware on devices that have been carrier unlocked.

If you are carrier unlocked and have unlocked your bootloader and are on OOS 11, then this method will root your device.

Otherwise see the link in the OP for the bootloader unlock thread.

You install magisk-manager on your phone. You copy the patched boot image to the directory on your pc where fastboot is installed.

    This Guide is intended for OP7 Pro Devices that are already running Android 11 after the May 2021 TMO OTA.

    DO NOT flash the provided boot image if your device has not been updated to android 11.

    REQUIREMENTS


    Before proceeding, you must make sure your GM1915 bootloader has been unlocked, and you have the required tools installed on your PC.

    For additional information, please see section 1 of the TMO OP7 Pro Unlock/TWRP Thread

    Please Note: TWRP is not compatible with Android 11 on the GM1915 at this time. Do not attempt to install it.

    Thanks to @justencase6 for providing a copy of the 11.0.1.2 OTA package.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    MAKE SURE you flash the correct boot image. Only flash the boot image of the OOS version you are running or you will have boot issues.
    1. Install the latest Magisk Manager on your device if it is not already installed.
    2. Download the patched boot image that matches your current OOS version from below.
      Copy the downloaded image to your fastboot directory.
      To make things a little easier, you can rename this file to "boot.img"
    3. Reboot your device to the bootloader using the advanced reboot menu or
      Code:
      adb reboot bootloader
    4. Confirm your device is detected by fastboot :
      Code:
      fastboot devices
    5. Flash the patched boot image to the boot partition :
      Code:
      fastboot flash boot_a magisk-patched-OOS-11.0-boot.img
      fastboot flash boot_b magisk-patched-OOS-11.0-boot.img
    6. Reboot device :
      Code:
      fastboot reboot

    Your device should now be rooted. Run Magisk Manager and confirm the installation status. You should see the following under "Magisk"

    Code:
    Installed: 23.0 (23000)  A/B: Yes
    Ramdisk:   Yes           SAR: Yes

    Due to problems updating and 11.0.1.5 being an incremental update, this image is not available

    11.0.1.6
    11.0.1.7
    Incremetal Update - No Boot Image Available

    11.0.1.8

    I will continue to release these for future OTA's. I don't monitor TMO release dates, I just wait for the OTA notification on my phone so it may take longer for me to find out there is an update.

    Feel free to PM me when a new update is pushed out.

    11.0.1.6 Links have been added to OP. Links for both patched and stock this time.

    After reverting to 9.5.10 with the MSM tool, I was finally able to update to 11.0.1.6. I have to re-unlock my bootloader though, and I noticed that the OP unlock request link is no longer working. No idea what's going on with that.

    Anyways, ill be posting the 11.0.1.6 patched boot today sometime.
    I finally got around to wanting to root my device and I am on the latest 11.0.1.6 version. Looking forward to this. Thank You!

    Im sorry but I only work with T-Mobile devices. I don't have any other firmware on hand and I do not have any way of testing things for other devices. How are you patching the boot image?
    extracted the boot.img from payload.bin with python.
    patched the extracted img with the latest magisk 23.0
    flash the patched img with fastboot to both slots a and b
    fastboot reboot aaaaaaaaand voila a nice bootloop

    ***********
    solution

    adb reboot bootloader
    reflash stock img to slots a and b
    fastboot reboot aaaaaaaaand voila a nice phone with no root hahaha
