This is not a logical solution every time issue a new version of Android will be forced to do so and I have to take copies of the software, games and music and then restored again!!

What is the main reason for this problem?? And what is the solution

True, but it's always worth making a backup with Titanium to restore if required. That or make sure you keep the stock recovery after each build is released

I always do that, but sometimes we need cwm formal and sometimes I need to air updates

4 Up

that is the stock recovery. something else on your phone is not stock and therefore it is failing.

you have a custom kernel and busy box. those 2 things modify system files.
YOU ARE NOT ON A STOCK ROM.
the ota will never work until you return those things to stock (good luck finding all the things busy box changes.)

Just flash a system image, so simple

flash the factory images is the best. busybox is known to update system files and just uninstalling it will not revert the changes.

Thanks All For Help me put I have a little questions
1-Does Root Make Errors With OTA ?
2- If I want to flash image factory with Odin or toolkit?
3-If I install custom recovery and I want to back to stock can I do this with toolkit or other?
Thanks

1. Yes
2. Neither - learn to do it manually
3. Flash manually using the stock recovery in the factory image

Is there a way combines the powers of Root and ota Together ?? Will the program help on that?

No, that only masks root so some apps can run. It won't make any difference to the phone with regards to OTAs. Basically, if you're going to unlock the phone just go custom and ignore OTAs

please dont spread mis-information.
root alone does not stop you from getting OTAs, as i have root and nothing else and get OTAs just fine and they install just fine.. root does allow you to modify system files which can cause OTAs to fail.
what you did mention about rootkeeper is correct. it just masks root to allow certain apps to run and allow a easy way to return root after an OTA.

OTA update after rooting

Hi. I have just rooted my Pixel 2 XL with Magisk after reading the guides here on XDA. This is my first Android phone and my first time rooting so I'm trying to figure out the update situation here. How would I go about installing version 8.1 when I get the OTA update for it? Would I have to wipe my device again and reinstall Magisk?
On a side note, does anyone know if MinMinGuard on systemless Xposed breaks SafetyNet?
Thanks in advance.

Unroot, apply OTA, re-root.

I have not yet done this myself, I will soon though. https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md#ota-installation-tips

OTA does not remove your data. What you do want to do is to download the factory image to get the 8.1 boot.img after you're done with OTA. You can then follow instruction on rooting it.
Basically to apply 8.1 OTA, get the previous boot.img and reapply it to your phone:
Unroot:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Apply OTA
download the OTA zip
follow instruction at https://developers.google.com/android/ota for apply ota
Reroot
download 8.1 image. extract it to get boot.img.
follow instruction for magisk

This looks good. But for following section:
Code:
Unroot:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
can I get only the stock 8.0 boot.img (I would like to avoid downloading 1 GB+ of stock 8.0 image to get 50 MB of boot.img, if that's possible at all)?
Oh I see an option in Magisk Manager, never mind my question

I don't know, I got impatient and sideloaded the OTA. I essentially followed the procedure listed by dyingearth in post #6 above.

Just went to do this but Magisk says Stock Backup Doesn't Exist... I didn't delete anything, anyone know why this would happen? And now the question is... How do I go about getting an update with forking my phone? I don't mind freshly doing it all over from scratch, but would like to get Magisk to backup the stock stuff so that when I follow the OTA instrustions on the Magisk link tips it would work.

I'm on rooted Pixel XL 2 already on 8.1, can I take the security patch, or do I need to unroot before taking the update?

Bump

Following.
My 2xl unrooted today. On it's own. Went to break around 3 and had magisk notification about installing 15.3zip which I was already on. Looked in manager and it showed not installed. Have been reading yesterday about updating while rooted. Checked system update and shows available update today. So I tried to install but failed. Looks like I'll have to wait till after work....at 7pm!!

After taking ota update with magisk installed did not reboot through Magisk so I lost root. Magisk is still on phone but not installed. How to reinstall? Do I need to reflash or can I just hit install on app? Will gladly provide more info aas needed. I have searched and did not find a exact answer to my problem. Build number pq3a.190801.002

You need to sideload ota manually for updates

I can't figure out how it took the ota in the first place with no errors. I found the guide on how to do the ota with it installed but after i got the ota. When I open the Magisk it says i can install Magisk and Magisk Manager from the app. Im worried it will mess something up.

The quickest and simplest way to update your phone monthly:
- download the stock taimen image for current month
- unzip and edit the 'flash-all.bat' file by removing/deleting the '-w' from the code. Removing the '-w' ensures that your data is NOT wiped
- boot into bootloader and run the 'flash-all' script from your adb folder
- after it completes the update, let the phone boot into Android
- restart and boot into TWRP. Note: decryption is broken for some people (like me), you will need to remove your PIN code before booting into TWRP
- flash Magisk 19.3 or whatever you prefer (and any additional apps you such as Vanced YouTube, etc.)
- Reboot into rooted phone
- Add your PIN code (or whatever security measure you want to use)
If you need a more detailed information, please check the main rooting thread.

OP follow this exactly, and you will have no problems. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80039116&postcount=778

Just click on "Recovery Flasher and Device Rooter", choose the TWRP (there is one for pie and one for Q), check "And Root it", choose a magisk version and start the procedure, the tool will automatically download the twrp, boot it, flash it and then will flash also magisk

Is this thing able to unlock the bootloader without using the ASUS method? Or lock it? That's what I'm most interested in.

The unlock function can't be done with the tool for zenfone 6, the lock option i don't know if it will work or not, it's the only thing not tested

speaking of unlocking bootloader. is there any difference between the 2 methods explained in this link? cyano//removethis//genmods.org/how-to-unlock-asus-zenfone-6-bootloader

I would be VERY cautious trying to re-lock the bootloader with this tool.
If a guinea pig tester wants to give it a go and report back though, feel free to take that risk
All other functions will most likely work as expected.
It's also worth noting before anyone asks, the Trojan:Win32/Spursint.Q!cl (or similar) virus detected within the .zip is almost certainly false.
As always though, you use these sort of apps at your own risk.

As far as I am aware there is only one way to unlock the bootloader, and that is to use the official tool from ASUS:

Once the bootloader is unlocked you will no longer get OTA automatically. You can still download them manually to the root of your internal memory and install them.

FULL OTA OxygenOS 11.0.5.5.IN11AA (GLOBAL ROM)--Stock and magisk_patched boot.img

Hi everyone,
For those who need the boot image to root their oneplus 8pro global rom Oxygen OS 11.0.5.5.IN11AA.
I had a problem to update from rooted version 11.0.4.4.IN11AA to 11.0.5.5.IN11AA. I backed up all my files and used the MSM tool restore program to version 11.0.4.4.IN11AA then updated to version 11.0.5.5.IN11AA without encountering any error.
then I extracted the boot image to successfully root my 8pro.

Thanks for the work @buu'buu, but unfortunately I can't get my phone to update. It fails every time and I've tried everything short of using the MSM tool. I just don't know if an incremental update is worth wiping the phone and starting fresh. I assume you couldn't get the system update of the Oxygen updater to work either.

I had the same problem : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...magisk-root-permissions.4233391/post-84526447
Backup all your apps and data, messages and call logs in the cloud, or on your phone and paste it on your PC (with SWIFT BACKUP app for exemple).
Then you can use MSM tool for a clean installation with @Some_Random_Username thread (11.0.4.4.IN11AA) : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4084953/
Then update to version 11.0.5.5.IN11AA.
Now you can proced to the rooting.

Hello @buu'buu would you have the link for the update version of the rom 11.0.5.5IN11AA - I have the global version model IN2020, but the update does not appear.

Providing it's a full update, you would download it then instead of just installing, go to system update, click options, then local, then locate the update and run it.
Once complete:
If you're rooted then at this point you wouldn't reboot, you'd open magisk then click install to unused slot OTA.
Then reboot
If you're not then just reboot.
Oxygen updater is the preferred way to do this, always make sure you are using the full update..
It's also possible with an incremental update.
If indeed you are rooted, is recommend stable 22.0, as it's shown to be working as expected in the EU version in my tests, as it has for the OP on the global variant.

Hello @jotha.dx
No sorry, that's why I went through the MSM tool and then updated to version 11.0.5.5, all of that of course after making a backup of my data. Oxygen updater still did not offer me the latest version.
Either you have to wait or you can use my method and download the latest stable version of magisk 22 and my boot file magisk_patched to perform rooting.

It's an incremental update and this is the method I tried after removing Magisk and trying to use the system update failed. Using system update goes into a loop saying that the update will continue when the phone isn't busy. Using this method just fails immediately.

Are you rooted?
Would flashing the stock boot image prior to accepting the update then rooting afterwards work?
Obviously extract the new boot image if you can first.
Quite odd the way the global ROM always comes out with incremental first and not full? Id have thought it would be the opposite way round?

Yes I am rooted. I tried booting the stock boot image and the update still didn't work. I then tried flashing the extracted boot.img from the full update obtained from the OnePlus support site and it failed to flash. In both cases I removed all Magisk modules first and rebooted then removed Magisk.

Ok so you're doing a flash "boot" command which should still work but......
Try this, but change the "magisk_patched" to whatever your boot image is called.
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched
Press enter.
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched
Press enter
Bare in mind this may still flash but may not boot, so make sure you have your stock boot image handy to recover.

Yea -- this sucks. I just took my old OP 7 Pro, MSM'd it updated it to the new 11 release, rooted it and installed Magisk Properties and it gets L1. But my OP 8 Pro now has level L3 -- horrible.

Thanks for trying to help with this. I don't get it.

Question Help with unlocking the bootloader and root

HELLO EVERYONE
I have a few questions.
I'm still hesitant to unlock the bootloader and root my F3.
So:
When I unlock the bootloader, will I lose all my settings and data?
Do I have to root via magisk for banking payments to work?
What is the best custom rom yet? To make everything work like an original rom.
Custom rom should definitely have a very extensive adjustment, for example, the status bar - position clock, seconds in clock, etc. It should have adjusted the increased speaker volume, recording phone calls, just a lot of adjustments.
Furthermore, to make the custom rom long developed and constantly updated, including miui.
Lastly: I want to avoid brick, so some really detailed instructions on how to root through magisk and how to flash custom rom.
I would also like to use TWRP, I'm used to it from the previous mobile phone.
I have official android 11, miui 12.5.1.0 RKHEUXM.
I will unlock the bootloader, the waiting time for unlocking is over.
Thanks very much.

1. You will loose all settings and data
2. You need root with magisk to use magisk hide then you can use banking apps
3. Right now arrow os is the best available. Arrow os lacks in customisation. Although it has all customisation I need. I am not sure what you need. Its stable bug free and regularly updated. You can also try syberia os. Syberia os has more customisation options and also the dev is active in the thread. I have only used syberia for short period of time. So I can't say much about it.
4. Detailed explanation is given in rom threads. Just follow them if you encounter any problem just message someone will help you out.
5. I don't use twrp yet and suggest you the same. Cos it's still in alpha stage. If you want magisk then just boot into twrp and flash magisk. This way you won't loose arrow os recovery and also will have magisk installed.

So, will there be no problem on my current version to unlock the bootloader via the official utility mi unlock tool?
So how do I proceed, I mean root via magisk. You write that I should avoid twrp, but you also write that I should flash the magic over twrp.
I would need precise instructions please so I don't kill the device.
Thanks.

There won't be any problems If you do it correctly. Install all the necessary drivers and stuff.
For rooting I told to boot into twrp. I didn't say to install twrp. There is a difference. Temporarily boot into twrp with "fastboot boot twrp.img" command and then flash magisk . This is the easy method I know of.

Ok.
So I would try syberia custom rom.
Would you have any links please to that magisk root? Thank you.

Magisk root should be linked in the Syberia thread

Thanks

So for now, I'll just unlock the bootloader and root with the help of magisk.
Can someone please describe to me exactly the detailed procedure and links where and what they will download?
And: for now, I'll stay on the stock rom. Will there be any way to update the stock rom if I will have root?
Thank you

No one will help?
I'd like to make it tonight.
So far only unlock bootloader and root magisk. I set everything up and save via titanium, at least the data application when Twrp is not working on backups.
Then I would try a custom rom.

I'm using ArrowOS, I'm not root and don't use Magisk. I can use my banking apps, even when they alerted me about being rooted and all that stuff. The solution I found was very easy.
Activate developer options and deactivate developer options. That's it. Nothing more.

But i need root for backup and other things that require root.

You can root, then unroot by uninstall Magisk.

Ok.Thanks
One more question:
If I don't use a custom rom, but use an official rooted rom , how can I update it when new updates come out?

Just download magisk manager. Then inside, you will see on the top "Magisk" and "Application". Tap on installation next to Magisk, install Magisk by the recommended way (direct installation in English I believe). It's that simple.
When you install a OTA, after the update, don't reboot directly or Magisk will be gone. So install the OTA, DON'T REBOOT then go on Magisk manager, tap installation (Magisk) and choose the OTA way. Don't remember the exact name but you will see. By this way, Magisk will install itself on the other partition before the finalisation of the update so you will not loose Magisk after the update (OTA). I'm sorry if I'm not clear but my Magisk is in french, so I don't have the exact word in English.
