(ROOT) Android 11 / Latest stock and patched img's / payload dumper / magisk_patched guides

[dlads]

Hi to everyone, I need your help: I am on oos 10 rooted 10.5.14IN11BA and I want to upgrade to oos11. Under settings-> update I find that the update for my phone is 11.0.8.8 IN11BA. If I want upgrade in this situation I have to follow the 2nd step of tutorial but I have a doubt: after update and no reboot I have to install Magisk in inactive slot(ota update) and reboot, right? There anything else that I have to do? Please answer me, I don't want brick my phone

Morning.

Just follow the guide dude, just make sure you're on the latest stable Magisk.

In short.

1. Use oxygen updater to obtain a FULL update.

2. Install the update but DO NOT REBOOT

3. Open Magisk and click install (top button)

4. Click install to inactive slot after OTA

5. Take the reboot

Done.


Basically what's happening is you're priming your device with an update, but the slot switch does not really take place until you reboot, due to the fact that you're already rooted you have the ability to pre-load a prepared and patched boot image which is taken when you reboot and stop using the current boot slot.

Alternatively just take a full update, reboot, then extract the boot image from payload bin and patch it, then open fasboot and boot it and Install directly.

The first option I've listed is the easiest method, but just be safe in the knowledge that you aren't going to brick your device, that's almost impossible in all honesty..

Obviously make a back up anyway, but that much should go without saying

Thank you very much for your detailed explanation

I'm beginning to feel like a total noob, because I have read post after post and cannot figure out what to do in my situation. It's not unique, but the answers are rarely consistent.

OnePlus 8 Pro, running OS 11.0.2.2IN11AA. Model is IN2025. Looking to update to 11.0.8.8.IN11AA. Rooted, running Magisk 23.0.

A while ago I tried to install 11.0.7.7, the way I have always done, uninstalling Magisk, running the update, reinstalling Magisk etc., but was prevented from doing so. When I clicked "restore images", i received the message "Stock backup does not exist". Since I didn't particularly care about 11.0.7.7 I just didn't proceed. Now, however, it's clear that until I fix this, I am unable to update at all.

Could some patient person explain to me exactly what I need to do? Perhaps there is nothing I can do until the full OTA for 11.0.8.8 is made available, but even if someone can explain how I can get past this issue and upgrade to 11.0.7.7, I would really appreciate it.

I know there are people with much more important issues, but thank anyone who can help me past this problem.

Go back to post #881 mate like 4 before yours.

No need to uninstall anything.

This is an extract from it.

"1. Use oxygen updater to obtain a FULL update.

2. Install the update but DO NOT REBOOT

3. Open Magisk and click install (top button)

4. Click install to inactive slot after OTA

5. Take the reboot


Done."

All of the answers are indeed on these pages

Mainly in the OP

 

[dlads]

If you're on 2.2 and looking for 8.8 I'm sorry I don't have it..

Surely somebody has on XDA. This thread is primarily for BA / UK phones so I have no idea if you cannot obtain a full update..

I've read that there's a way around it, but because I can't replicate it then I cannot support it.

In a nutshell the normal run of the mill is the above.

You shouldn't be uninstalling Magisk at all in any instance.

7.7 is available on oxygen updater (the full update) so yes you can follow the instructions in the OP or above to obtain it and retain root.

Thank you for your response. I understand that this is primarily not for Global, but could not find a comparable thread that was for Global.

The reason I had asked was because initially I wanted to update to 8.8. And there is no full OTA for 8.8 yet released. And I could not figure out how to do this. Updating to 7.7 does make it easier, but I'm confused on just one point. The standard advice on how to update with Magisk is to 1) click uninstall in Magisk and then "restore images," thus restoring the stock image.. This is where I got the error message that no stock image was available. But had there been one, the next step 2) would be to update to 7.7, using the system update. Don't reboot, but 3) go back and install Magisk to the inactive slot, choosing the "Install to inactive slot (after OTA)", the 4)) reboot.

Your method never goes through the uninstalling of Magisk, and that's what confused me. Is this because you are using Oxygen Update app to do the installation?

Sorry for being so dense, but thank you so much for the help you provided. I will follow the instructions and update to 7.7. Very much appreciate your patience.

Again as I've said YOU DO NOT UNINSTALL MAGISK!!

Global, UK, China, doesn't matter it's all the same, the process doesn't change.. I house boot images on this thread but only the UK ones, but in your case you don't need them anyway, you're already rooted, you don't need a computer either, besides maybe the back up.

But that's it.


Lol,

I'll write what you do again off the top of my head, this is how sure I am of myself and of this process.

You're currently rooted and on 2.2? If yes then proceed

1. Disable all Magisk modules

2. Open oxygen updater and download the full firmware update by choosing this within the advanced settings, within the app.

3. Once downloaded, close oxygen updater and open up system settings, then system update.

4. Click the 3 dots, then click install from local storage, you should see the update you've just downloaded, if not then navigate to it, then click it, then click install.

NOTE****: once completed, DO NOT REBOOT WHEN PROMPTED AFTER THE INSTALLATION!!!

5. Close system update by pressing home, then open up Magisk manager and click the 'top' install button, then click install after OTA, allow that to finish then click reboot.

Done.

That is it, there is no uninstallation of Magisk whatsoever.

I've no idea who advised you to do that but you do not need to, providing it's a 'full update' then you're good.

The only reason I recommend oxygen updater is quite a simple one, it's faster, it releases updates earlier and you can change device if you need to, tbh all instructions are on the app, but just follow what I've written and you're golden.

What I've written from memory here without checking is probably identical to what is in the OP and the post a few before yours.

I know it's daunting but you'll be fine and you're not dense you just want to get it right.

As I've said before, always make a back up.



PS: if you want a fall back plan then use my guide to extract the boot image and also how to create your own patched boot image.

These two files when complete will be all you need to reroot should something go wrong or you need to flush out a bad kernel.

This isn't needed for what you've requested it's just good practice..

I've also explained on post #881 what slots are and why they aren't confusing.

Because the dual slot system can be quite confusing at times when you don't know

Sesh, i wish I had found your guide earlier lol, it's so easy to understand. But i have a few questions.
- I assume i should skip the update from Android 10 to 11 part because my OnePlus 8 pro is already android 11.
- Should i take the SIM card out of the phone before starting the unlocking bootloader/rooting process??
- If i ever want to update the phone, should I flash the stock rom instead of the patched one following the same process?

All in the OP mate.. there's a section outlined for each circumstance.

I made the 10 to 11 section as I was on 10 at the time that was the first one.

Then onwards to 11-11+

No need to remove the SIM.

The part you require is under the section marked 4th 11- 11+

Updating the phone is quite simple..

Just follow what I wrote above to the previous user that's also in the OP.

Bare in mind that the ROM isn't actually a ROM it's always a stock ROM, it's only the boot image you're altering from stock boot to patched boot.

If you go back a few posts I explain this in more detail.

Ohh, i think i get it now. Then i still can't find the stock boot image for the 11.0.8.8IN11BA version, how do I get it?? I downloaded one but i think it's the stock rom not the boot image

Nevermind i think i did it, i downloaded the rom for the eu version 11.0.8.8 (if im not mistaken the european version is the 11.0.8.8IN11BA and IN2023) from here https://www.getdroidtips.com/oneplus-8-pro-stock-firmware/, then used payload dumper and now there's a boot.img which is 98.304kb

Ok so firstly, lol just read the OP

2nd I normally upload a patched and unpatched image for each release, but as I'm currently using Evo X, I haven't this time.

But I shall, probably today.

Oxygen updater is the best source for the latest firmware, especially BA/EU

Next the boot image, yep you do indeed use the payload dumper, it was also in the OP. Extraction is quite easy.

Next do not flash it, once patched.

Just boot it, then install directly.

Well done I think?

U all good?

Its all good now, thank you so much!!! Im sorry i made you so many questions, im the type of person that overthinks everything a lot so even tho i read it on the OP i still needed someone to confirm if everything was correctly done.

It's quite alright, I completely get it, just go over the guide a few times...make your own even on paper and if you get the jist of it then it'll stick, making guides is a really helpful way of remembering things.

You'll never forget then.

Glad you're sorted

Last time i tried to root my phone it was a huawei mate 9 and i bricked it, but apparently it was a problem of the phone, not because i messed up in the process (or at least i think so, because even tho I unlocked the bootloader and used twrp to flash the root zip they still repaired it and I didnt pay at all so the warranty still covered it somehow)
So that's why I asked that many questions sorry

Lol it's ok man don't worry, better to be sure.

It's almost impossible to brick a OnePlus, MSM is an amazing tool, but it will relock your bootloader, I had the p20 Pro myself, they pulled the bootloader unlocks shortly after that, I'll never buy another Huawei or Honor again, they're not android anymore IMHO.

The method you used for the Huawei is also valid on OnePlus phones but as we're missing twrp on 11 it simply can't work.

So affecting the boot.img is our only way, unless as was in your case you're already rooted, retaining it is quite easy as you now know.

If when the time comes you lose root (and you might, it happens for many reasons) let me know if you get stuck, but for the most part the OP can set you on the right track.

Ask if you're not sure.
