General Info:

You need adb and fastboot installed and should know how to use it
TWRP is not needed
You must do this process only once, afterwards you can follow the OTA survival steps
You can use the already provided magisk-patched images or reproduce it yourself if you want
Magisk Documentation

How to get OxygenOS OTA url for new updates:

connect to adb
Download OTA on your device
in adb shell: su; logcat | grep "ota" and find the download link

Reproduction of rooted images:

Get boot.img of your current ROM with one of the following steps
- download boot image from above and unzip to boot.img
- extract from full download (payload.bin file) with this script on your computer
- backup boot_a/boot_b partition from a temporarily rooted phone, e.g. with this app - check which is the active slot via fastboot getvar current-slot
- copy backup from a Magisk patched phone from /data/magisk_*
- MSM download tool readback function
install Magisk App apk
Use Magisk > Install > patch a file > select boot.img

Steps to root your Stock device:

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE MATCHING IMAGE INSTALLED
Enable bootloader unlocking and advanced reboot in developer options (For Metro/TMO: unlock the device)
Unlock bootloader using fastboot oem unlock
- Remember: This will erase your userdata
Run patched kernel fastboot boot magisk_patched.img
- This will only boot the image once! Make sure everything is working (e.g. Wi-Fi doesn't work on wrong image)
- In case the command is stuck at Sending 'boot.img' try another cable!
Install Magisk App apk - You now have temporary root access!

For a permanent root access, there are two options

From temporarily rooted phone
- magisk: Install > direct install
- This will create a backup of the original stock boot image for OTA survival
Directly flashing via fastboot
- fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
- No backup of the stock boot is created

How to survive OxygenOS OTA:

Disable automatic update in developer options
In Magisk App, choose uninstall > restore image - DON'T REBOOT
- If "Stock backup does not exist", look here
Now do the OTA update - DON'T REBOOT
in Magisk App, select install > to inactive slot
reboot now! The unpatched image is backed up to /data/magisk*

Thanks to topjohnwu for Magisk

Can u upload new kernel 10.5.8 BE86AA

Hi, updated OP with 10.5.8 BE86AA.

For EU users: sorry, download not yet available. If you have received the update already, you can boot the 10.5.7 rooted kernel (most things should work) and extract the boot partition of your active fastboot slot (follow reproduction of rooted images in OP)

EDIT: i had issues with fastboot boot command - i had to use another USB cable (from a samsung) instead of the official oneplus one...

EDIT2: added AFH mirror

Sorry for hijacking your thread, but do you have changelog by any chance? I run EU firmware and didn't receive it yet, however opening stock boot.img in HxD and searching for com.android.build.boot.security_patch tends to indicate security patch level has been bumped to 2021-01-05.

No problem

I don't have it written down anywhere. But i remember the changelog on the OTA screen saying
- security patch update as you said
- something like improved power usage (no further explanation was given and i was wondering about that, that's why i remember)

My new Oneplus Nord N10 5G from Metro by T-Mobile in US/NA has Build 10.5.7.BE88CF is it safe to root using "NA (BE86) 10.5.7.BE86AA" ?

You may be able to fastboot boot it, but since it is a different software branch it may not work or you may have some functions like WiFi not working correctly. By the way, sorry if it sounds stupid, but were you really able to unlock bootloader of your unit without waiting for a SIM unlock from T-Mobile and an unlock token from OnePlus? That's how it was in the past for T-Mobile variants of OnePlus devices (albeit N10/N100 are first devices which are also sold by Metro by T-Mobile).

Also, could you please also share some getprop properties? Specifically ro.product.name, ro.product.model, ro.build.version.ota, ro.build.fingerprint, ro.build.version.security_patch, ro.boot.project_codename and ro.boot.project_name?
Idea here is to know how different this variant is compared to unlocked units (but also to "normal" T-Mobile variant).

android2021 · Jan 16, 2021

[ro.product.name]: [OnePlusN10METRO]
[ro.product.model]: [BE2025]
[ro.build.version.ota]: [OnePlusN10METROOxygen_14.O.07_GLO_007_2011261823]
[ro.build.fingerprint]: [OnePlus/OnePlusN10METRO/OnePlusN10METRO:10/QKQ1.200830.002/2011261742:user/release-keys]

So software is clearly different but codename is same as "normal" T-Mobile, which is a bit odd. Try to fastboot boot rooted 10.5.7 BE86AA boot.img once you get your bootloader unlocked and to backup your stock boot.img using dd so that you can patch it using Magisk Manager.

Success! Oneplus Nord 10 5g NA Unlocked with magisk 21.2 and build 10.5.9.BE86AA. Thank you
andreas__. Not quite sure how i feel about this phone being a replacement for my one plus 6, but so far so good! Edit: Also no Wifi issues to report as of now, will report back if i find bugs.

Just received 10.5.9 EU OTA, attached stock boot.img (MD5 EEFEF5EE72A6500D69C5473094BAA714) extracted from full zip https://otafsg1.h2os.com/patch/amaz....09_OTA_009_all_2101021731_4c2d90f6a3bc7d.zip

Thanks again

updated OP with patched image for 10.5.9 EU .

About Metro TMO version BE88CF: I have no clue where to get a boot image for it, for everyone that has it, please follow this suggestion and extract the boot image yourself (the partition backup app works too, described in OP)
