Oneplus 5 TWRP and Root Issues

[netsonic]

Oneplus 5, Official ROM, H2OS, Android 7.1

1. First time, I followed https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877 and successfully install TWRP and root using Supersu. I can goes into TWRP recovery without any problem. I notice that the supersu I installed in a systemless one, some apps can't get root access, like AD Away, Titanium Backup. But most apps can work with it. I used the one of the two root method in that tutorial as follows:

For Users who want to remain Encrypted:
1. Boot into TWRP Recovery and allow system modifications.
2. Swipe right and enable modifications.
3. Select your preferred Language, Tap “Never show this screen on boot again,” and Swipe allow modification.
4. Navigate to Install and select Magisk Or SuperSU to root OnePlus 5.
5. Swipe to confirm the flash
6. Reboot System

2. After several months I want to upgrade the original H2OS to new version, so I unroot in Supersu first, when it ask me if I want to recover Boot Image, I say "Yes", and say "NO" when ask me if I want to recover Recovery Image. Then I upgrade to the new H2OS v13 (Android 7.1) using the Full package through TWRP, after that I reinstall TWRP 3.2.1, it was successful. But it doesn't ask me to allow it to make modification. I tried to install Supersu 2.82 and 2.82 SR5 using the same method as in tutorial, at the end of "Booting Image patcher" it shows

.........
-Calling user ramdisk patch script
---Failure, aborting

-Unmounting /system and /vender
-Done

Then I reboot to recovery, it return to official REC, not TWRP, and system says there is no root.

Just use the latest universal codeworks recovery and flash it via fastboot.
For root i suggest use of Magisk over Su, the latest 15.3 works fine for me.

What is the codeworks recovery? Is it "twrp-3.2.1-0-cheeseburger.img" on https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplus5.html?

No, it's the -universal- one from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-oxygenos-5-0-t3725723

I can flash universal TWRP and Magisk 15.3. But Magisk show "SafetyNet API Error"? How to fix it?
