Yes, it is 7.1 MB. Strange.

Wow huge update! My WiFi couldn't cope up with 7.1mb update. Awesome Google ?

yes the ota is 7.1mb, i have root so i tired to uninstall magisk (restoring images) then applying the ota then reinstalling magisk then reboot but didnt work as system update error couldnt install, also tried to boot to twrp then sideload the ota zip but caused problems and was about to lose my data (storage didnt show up in twrp) but i played around and changed boot slot and storage showed up again so i flashed factory image without -w and reflashed magisk and kernel

How did you "reflash magisk and kernel?" Did you boot to system first?

Me too

Yes after flashing factory image without wiping, i booted up to system then checked magisk wasnt installed (only manager app), then i fastbooted to twrp recovery flashed custom kernel then flashed magisk and reboot, thats it, and all my magisk settings returned back to what it was like before all this

Any easy way to install this on a rooted phone without wiping data?

First, YMMV! Make backups, always.

Here's my process. It's worked for me for a good while now. My main goal was to do this all on-device, without using a computer or other ADB source. It assumes you keep TWRP installed.

1. Download the full OTA from Google. This is the one in a recovery flashable package, not the fastboot script one.
2. Download the TWRP installer.
3. Download the latest Magisk installer.
4. Turn off the screen lock. TWRP doesn't like it, and won't see the internal storage elsewise.
5. Boot to TWRP recovery.
6. Install the OTA zip via TWRP. DO NOT REBOOT NOW!
7. Install the TWRP recovery zip.
8. Reboot. I like to let Android boot all the way before I install Magisk. It may not be completely necessary, but I believe you have to switch the A/B slot in TWRP if you don't, before installing.
9. Boot to TWRP recovery again.
10. Install the Magisk zip.
11. Re-enable your security, including re-adding your fingerprints if you use them.

If you want to use an additional computer, just fastboot the full images after removing the "-w" from the bat file, fastboot boot to TWRP, then re-install TWRP (if desired) and Magisk.

Since October patch (rooted) I have massive problems my pc/my phone detecting my phone/my pc. I dont know why, its just charging, one time it worked (I need USB-Tethering) I was just restarting and restarting the phone, turning debugging on/off...
Any idea how to fix this?

edit: It just says unknown usb-device, I manually uninstalled and installed the latest android usb drivers. If I try to use an adb command it just says "error: no devices/emulators found"

 

[100rabh7791]

Probably the worst security patch. My sensors aren't working properly, phone doesn't go off while i talk. It hangs at odd occasions. Battery is weak. Auto brightness isn't working either

Perfect, it worked. Thank you!
