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

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.

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?

does the device boot normally if you flash the unmodified boot image that you extracted?
are you using Magisk Manager to patch the boot image?

yes, absolutely, the phone boots normally if reflashed with the unmodified boot image. and also yes I use Magisk Manager to select and patch the aforementioned image that can be found in the download folder.

after a little searching, I have found some other people reporting bootloops with magisk that are caused by incompatible modules being installed.

if you had modules installed previously, you can remove them using adb shell.

Code:
adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules

It's not clear if you need to have magisk on the device first or not, but I would try this method to remove any installed modules, flash the patched boot image again, and see if that helps.

I have had twrp working with 11 from day one they released it for TMO. And I also found that if you have a boot loop you probably need to format,do to keys. Plus a nice lil trick is to disable DM Variety. Also have had root on 11 TMO but haven't been testing in 11 all my testing needs requir lowest firmware posable for exploits.

If this is not enough prof then message me
oh, you are decrypted. I would rather not have to do that. also, you are running GM21AA but TMO is GM31CB.

In Nebrassy's repo we are one of a few that aren't supported

    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!
