Alright took the plunge, Magisk/Root is working after moving from OB1 -> OB2.

Steps:
- Install OB2 local ZIP
- DO NOT REBOOT
- Magisk Manager -> Disable all modules
- Magisk Manager -> Install -> "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)" v21.4
- Reboot via: Settings -> System -> System Updates (or via 'Reboot' in notification)
- OB2 install done, Magisk/root is working
- Magisk Manager -> Install -> 'Direct Install (Reccommended)
- Reboot
- Re-activate Magisk modules
- Done :)

Just updated from OB2 -> OB3 with these steps.

No issues. Magisk is working fine

It's absolutely ridiculous that Oneplus allows this to persist. They've really gone downhill as a company this past year. I used to adamantly recommend Oneplus to anyone looking for a new phone. Now I advise them to steer clear.

To be fair, it seems like you're judging them for issues on beta software, that it's not supposed to be for the general public and only for testing.

You should stay on oficial firmware and then pass your judgement based on that.

They state it very clearly that Open Beta's are not as stable as official releases. Bugs are expected.

Open Beta 3 is out, updated original post with AFH mirror, unpacked images and rooting guide with required files.

Open Beta 3 AFH Mirror : Download
Default image collection for OB3 : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=17248734326145745859
Rooting guide and files for OB3 : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=17248734326145745863

TWRP twrp-3.5.0_9-0-guacamole still not working with fastboot boot, either encrypted or unencrypted. Just sits on "Fastboot Mode"

No source released by the looks of it too : GitHub - OnePlusOSS/android_kernel_oneplus_sm8150

Rom definitely feels snappier to me, unlocking is smoother, launching is smoother, I'm guessing they're starting to remove the beta framework.

For those who were boot looping on ob2 and just switched active slot back to Android 10, I can confirm upgrading to ob3 works perfectly.

For those having the calling issues related to speaker, use the stock dialer and not the Google dialer

For those who were on previous versions of OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro, we appreciate your active feedback and for reaching out to us. With your help, we have been able to better optimize and improve several key areas. Thank you for your patience and as always, we look forward to getting your continued feedback via the Community app.

    Please note:
    • If you have already flashed an Open Beta (you are currently running the latest Open Beta), you will receive this new build as an OTA.
    • If you are not running open beta software and would like to, please refer to the flashing instructions and the full ROM on the downloads page here.
    • Once you migrate to the Beta path, you will continue to receive Open Beta OTAs. You will no longer receive the regular Official Stable OTAs.
    • Moving back to the Official OTA path from the Beta path will require a full install and clean flash (full wipe of all data and cache).
    Make sure to let us know how you feel about the beta builds here in the thread too. We are watching.

    Never Settle.

    Check your downloads after completion, for integrity, by confirming MD5 checksum, I would recommend the following for Windows : WinMD5 Free - Windows MD5 Utility Freeware for Windows 7/8/10

    Both OnePlus's download site and Android File Host will show the MD5 which should be shown for your completed download, if your file doesn't match then it's not a good download.

    Managed to root the OxygenOS 11 Beta 1 ! :D

    I've uploaded all the files required (including rooted and default boot.img) and instructions here : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=17248734326145719260

    Magisk 21.4 is applied along with Magisk Manager 8.0.7 (which is included in the zip)

    Read the instructions carefully, I'm not responsible for bricked phones ;)
    If you manage to brick it then head for the MSM forum thread


    SafetyNet Attestation fails but that's happening on the Android 11 custom roms so should come in time, actually it seems to work after enabling Magisk Hide.

    It does have the new AoD actually, if you enable it! Run this in a root terminal:

    setprop sys.aod.debug_support_always_on 1
    pkill systemui

    Now the option to enable it will appear in the settings.

    Downloaded and Installed over magisk rooted OB19, flashed TWRP in EXKM, opened Magisk Manager and installed Magisk to Inactive Slot, rebooted and all is working well.

    Edit: TWRP flashes when trying to boot to recovery and never opens. Gonna try a few things.

    Edit 2: No functioning TWRP for OOS11 currently, flashed stock boot.img and now unrooted with stock recovery and boot. Gonna stay here and wait until TWRP is working for us.

    I am currently rooted, with twrp. I want to clean install this and keep the stock recovery for now since twrp isn't working anyway. How can I do this and also keep root?
    I did the following:
    Downloaded the Zip file (Full OTA) using Oxygen Updater.
    Went to settings, system updates, local update and clicked on the file.
    When it was done I did not reboot, went to Magisk, installed to the inactive slot, and then reboot. Everything is working fine except I don't have TWRP anymore but I'll wait for a fix on that, not that important to me.
