Title plus some additional information.
Pixel XL running PureNexus. Was on 13.3_b4. Reflashed PureNexus. Went to flash Magisk 14.2 beta. TWRP said the flash was successful. When I rebooted, the phone booted right into TWRP again. My TWRP version is RC2. Currently don't have magisk on the phone. Any ideas how to get it to stick? Do I need to update TWRP?
Could have to flash a custom kernel like ElementalX, I remember that was a thing with the unofficial Magisk builds.
No problems here with 14.2 , Android O
TWRP/Root all works fine.

I could not seem to get TWRP / Magisk to co-exist on my Pixel XL either. I was able to get it working by using the new install method. So instead of flashing the Magisk zip in TWRP, have Magisk Manager patch your boot.img, then copy the patched image to your computer and flash via fastboot.
I did give up on-device TWRP for this. I can still utilize that from my PC with a fastboot boot of the TWRP img when needed.

Can anyone help me with the steps to update to Android Oreo (OOS 5) from OOS 4.5.1 retaining root?
Below are the current setup of my phone
Rooted - Yes (Magisk version 14.0)
Recovery - TWRP version 3.1.1-2
Current Rom - Stock OOS 4.5.1
I haven't had any problems in updating earlier but now when I try to flash the full oreo rom from TWRP, I am getting error 7.
Below are the steps I followed.
Downloaded the full OTA zip.
Rebooted to recovery.
Unistalled Magisk.
Tried to flash the Oreo OTA zip. At this point TWRP showed error 7.
Reinstalled Magisk and rebooted to system.
Phone is working fine.
you need to use latest twrp for oreo, for example blue spark version, search for it on xda...
Follow this guide here:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/how-to-install-oos-5-0-over-rooted-4-5-1.684519/#post-17134194
It's exactly what you need.
All Oreo ROM threads clearly state under the "Instructions" heading, that you need either AkhilNarangs Modified TWRP or Blu_Sparks TWRP V50. Using stock TWRP would result in an error.
If the error may still persist, try flashing a different firmware.
Just to get some more clarity.
I have the original OTA full zip. Should I download the zip file from your thread?
Can I install the custom version of TWRP using the official TWRP app? I am bit confused on how to install it.
Is it important that I should use Magisk 14.3 or will v 14 have the same effect?
Hey there,
I can tell you how I have done it yesterday (successfully).
1. Update TWRP - I prefer blu sparks version 8.52 (Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=27225); you can do it by using your installed TWRP Version (Install .img)
2. Dirty flash OOS 4.5.1 again (to remove root / magisk) - once finished DO NOT reboot into system, reboot into Recovery/TWRP to verify the new version and afterwards to system
3. flash OOS 5.0 (Oreo) - dirty flash is okay
4. flash magisk Version 14.3
These are the steps I have followed yesterday and all is running perfect and without any problems.
BR
Which recovery is mentioned in this linked discussion resp. in the linked download? Is it blu_spark TWRP?
Regards
Clark
This worked perfectly for me.
Glad to hear that everything is good ?
I did the same and I was suddenly encrypted and no chance to get my data back. Still forcing clean my phone because I cannot format the device. I get always an error message in TWRP like: unable to format to remove encryption
I go crazy...
Enter recovery and wipe data and then cache.
Then reflash the rom and probably you will be good to go.
Has any of you guys tried the newest TWRP 3.2.0.0 for OnePlus 3T? Did you find a bug?
Thanks.

I assume you flash the updated Recovery followed by the patched firmware, which i assume you already have? I don't even know if the firmware is necessary but whenever i flash anything i also re-flash the patched firmware while I'm at it. No reason not to.
Alright, DM-Verity will be cleared if you flash the newest Magisk beta, and TWRP 3.2.X.X is working fine. I don't think Teamwin would release an official version of TWRP without making sure it's completely free of bugs. It flashes Oreo ROMs (Cardinal Xtended, N2Os) and also flashed OOS 5.0 very well. Add-ons such as Magisk and Magisk Modules flashed flawlessly.
went through the tutorial and everything went fine until magisk installation. stuck on loading screen forever. only complete wipe\installing twrp img helps to restore the system.
but then no root of course.
any ideas?
+1, I have the same error in havoc pie, in oreo magisk work fine?

Could you provide information about your current setup as well as steps you performed to flash Magisk?
@topjohnwu have previously mentioned that it might not be a good idea to have TWRP installed along with Magisk on A/B devices (since the recovery is in the boot image). Use fastboot to boot TWRP and then install Magisk leaving the stock recovery untouched.
I have solved it by reinstalling stock os, and then when installing twrp and magisk , I didn't check "install twrp as system app" , as it suggests at the end of flashing . Bam , now I have twrp recovery and rooted phone .
Hello guys,
I made an update in TWRP and installed Havoc 2.4 to try it. After 1 hour I restored my backup and changed back to MIUI. I couldn't log in, so I cleaned the keyfiles to set a new pin.
I reflashed new Beta (25.4 MIUI - Xiaomi.eu) ROM and Magisk but root does not apply on my device... What is wrong? Seems that it's not possible to root anymore... Its does not give me any fails when installing the magisk 18.1 zip in TWRP...
thanks in advance
Have you tried a simple reboot? Usually it takes a reboot more to apply.
no it's not that. now its always booting into twrp when I try to flash magisk

Extract the boot.image from the rom and place it in your downloads folder.
Now with Magisk Manager , download and install Magisk to that boot image
Magisk will write root to the boot.image file and then will automatically flash the the updated boot image, and restart to system >>> Issue resolved.
I fixed it by wiping data... now its working

Nope, no issues on my Mi 8. Here is the trick. When updating do not flash Magisk until you out have booted into the system and ran updates and deleted cache and trash, then reboot to recovery and flash Magisk.
If the method that I described before in the previous post doesn't work, then unpack the boot image from the update and flash it to boot in recovery then flash Magisk Canary debug.
I have been doing this for every weekly update using the beta ROM.
I had an issue just once that was resolved by flashing SuperSu, booting to system confirming root, then reboot to recovery and removing Su, flashing the boot and Magisk Canary

Man has found the guilty in Xiaomi.eu/community.
It is not Magisk, but Viper 4.2. I have flashed Magisk, after reboot again in recovery and wanted to flash version 4.1. It was uninstalled, have no Viper, but Magisk is installed ?

I no longer use Viper because my phone has 1 speaker and for me Ainur Sauren works pretty well for all sounds.
For listening to music I have the Pro version of Power amp which has every wanted option such as dynamic compression, dynamic EQ, convolution reverb, limiting , tag editing, visualizations etc, I bought it 5 years ago for $3. Best 3 bucks that I ever spent!
Seriously, I can't recommend Poweramp highly enough, its worth its weight in gold.

I have installed the latest pie stable on my op 3t. However it would never boot when installing with Magisk.
So for now I have installed it without Magisk and got it to work ok. However now I'm having same problem installing Magisk.
I can install and uninstall it from twrp latest, however when it's installed, it is just stuck on the initial screen with oneplus logo. And never makes it to the circle/dots screen.
I tried using 19. 2, 19.0 Magisk and 18.1.
Is there any logs I can pull or did anyone else have this issue?
Are there any other safe root solutions to try instead?
Any help would be appreciated

I always flash Magisk BEFORE the first boot. Also no custom kernels, especially not AFTER Magisk flash.
Is this what you did as well?
I couldn't get it to boot up before firstboot. So I went with normal nonroot flash so I could use the phone.
I figured it would not matter if I installed Magisk later.
I might try to reflash everything over again

Never had this problem until today. So I did some testing.
Magisk 19.1 causes it to get stuck at the OP logo.
I flashed uninstaller, reflashed the ROM, flashed Magisk 19.2 and it worked.
Are you using the 19.2 zip?

Yes, I had problems with 19.1 too, that the phone sometimes (if not always) would boot itself into fastboot mode instead of system, so at that time I moved temporarily to canary builds
I used this zip instead and it worked. Not sure what's different but I'm good now
