Root any BL UNLOCKED T-Mobile/Metro OnePlus Nord with Magisk and temp root

Search This thread
Magisk zip. This method is technically depricated and I've seen some say they had problems with the latest versions. So maybe use 24.1 or 24.2. You can update it once installed.

Get it from GitHub and rename from .apk to .zip.

We've discussed this method and have steps on the TWRP thread:
Yea I actually remembered and figured it out before coming back here, but I'm not sure which version I used to sideload but the magisk on my phone now says 24.3.

How would I make a NANDroid backup? the TWRP fails when I try to backup

As far as I know, the N100 has never had a fully working TWRP, and likely never will.

This TWRP does allow you to fastboot and install the Magisk zip which gets us root.

Otherwise, all other useful functions of TWRP are not available.

If there's another way to make backups that would be interesting.

    You're right about the flash, my mistake. Sigh.
    Versions need to be exactly the same anytime you're rooting with a boot image.
    This is version I was attempting to root: 11.0.1.BE82CB
    yea if you had booted from a magisk rooted 11.0.1 global boot.img and followed the rest of the steps you wouldve been ok because as soon as you reboot you lose root and boot from your original boot partition again

    the number 1 rule of rooting with fastboot is always boot from it and test it before flashing it. other users were warning about wifi/cell failures so i played it safe and am still fine

    I just tried this method with N200. 11.0.2.0 is the latest good rooted boot.img I have, but 11.0.3.0 is latest update and there's no MSM.

    Anyway booting to 11.0.3.0 using the 11.0.2.0 rooted boot.img works great! Still, I tried this method and when I extract the BootA and BootB partitions and try to flash them with Magisk, Magisk tells me it's an unsupported file. This is true when I try it as tar.gz (that's how it comes from Partitions Backup) and if I rename it to *.img - either way I can't get Magisk to want to flash it. Any ideas?

    In the meantime, using the 11.0.2.0 rooted boot image seems to work fine with 11.0.3.0. So, maybe I can just go with it?

    Anyway this is an awesome guide and I learned a lot from it. HUGE THANK YOU.

    I've tested this method on BE2012 / 11.0.1.BE82CB and unfortunately the global rom's boot.img bricks the device - it won't get past the T-Mobile loading screen.

    I'm going to try to restore via MSM and try it with 10.5.8.BE82CB now.
    youre not supposed to flash the global rom boot.img but boot from it, thats why it relies on a temp root. and the versions have to be exactly the same or you'll brick the device

    what version was your old device on? good luck unbricking it though, hope you get another shot at it

    partitions backup compresses the dump so you cant just simply rename it. think theres an option to dump it uncompressed so you can pass it on to magisk. the other way is to untar it then pass it to magisk

    i'd just experiment a bit more as long as you remember to use fastboot boot until you get the config you want then you can flash it

    Oh, thank you! That makes sense. I will try to UN-Tar it :)
