Tried and tested method to update to DP4 with twrp and root working.
If you update to DP4 directly before installing twrp you will be stuck without twrp.
You need USB pendrive and otg for it.
Steps
1. Update your phone to latest available official version.
2. Boot to fastboot and install TWRP (of course you need boot loader unlocked)
3. Flash DP4 from Thumbrive (keep it in external storage only)
4. Flash Recivery TWRP.zip from thumb drive
5. Reboot recovery
5. Flash DP4 again followed by Twrp.zip
6. Reboot recovery and flash magisk and any other mods you need.
7. Reboot
If you followed every steps correctly you will have working TWRP and root on DP4.
I am using it since DP2 and never had issues.
Note. Since Q diesnt allow twrp to read internal storage you will need usb drive for flashing mod also.
I have uploaded a video with DP4 Features if you want to know about its features.
New features
1. Volte working
2. Names of themes changed
3. System UI settings changed
4. Fingerprint faster
5. Overall phone is faster now.
Removed google assistant swipe shortcut.

You need to use msm tool for reverting to stock
Or Stock reset rom for downgrade.
Then follow my steps
Is there any way to downgrade without MSM tool? I have a Mac. Local update doesn't work. Thanks for the reply.
Try MP version from DP Version package via local upgrade.
This will be available once the official thread is created by oneplus.
Or you may try DP to MP version for DP3

I just used the stock firmware .img file via fastboot. I restored 9.5.7 with no issues. Of course you'll lose all your data.

I was able to install twrp and magisk on dp3, i think you can do it with dp4 aswell.
I just fastboot flash boot twrp.img , it says slot a ok, slot b fail.
So i switched active slots and reboot, which boots to twrp installed on other slot. While in twrp (which cannot access data) i installed twrp through adb, switched active slot and installed twrp again. Same for magisk 19.4 installer.
After installing twrp and magisk to both slots i switched active to B and rebooted, which took me to rooted dp4.
Hope that made any sense
Oh and while in twrp, i used twrp installer (latest) to install twrp to both slots.
why do you possibly need to flash the rom and twrp TWICE? shouldn't the usual upgrade process for a rom if you are already rooted still work?
Flash the Q rom
flash twrp
reboot to recovery
flash magisk?
don't understand the reason to flash both twrp and the rom 2 times as posted in the instructions
regardless, i followed the exact steps and it didn't work for me. i boot to a plain black screen and can't get past it. any ideas?

Repeating the steps twice installs the ROM to both system slots

Can you elaborate on step 2? Do we flash twrp.zip the same as the other steps? or do we flash the twrp-installer?
1. Downloaded the 9.5.11 update from Oxygen Updater (DONT REBOOT)
2. Went to Settings\System\System Update and click on the wheel on upper right corner.
3. Select Local Upgrade, then install the update (DONT REBOOT)
*DO NOT REBOOT after applying the update.
4. Remove Magisk modules that may cause problems (Call Recording is one of them)
5. Launch Magisk, and click the first "install"
6. Choose the "Install to inactive slot (OTA)" option
7. Reboot once completed
8. Download TWRP (from another location) and then go into Magisk and install it, but ***DO NOT REBOOT!!***
9. Install Magisk again. Click Install, then select "Direct Install" option.
10. Reboot
Will this work for DP4 as well????

Downgrade using the rollback package, when I did it on Beta 3 it did not relock my bootloader.

I don't think so - what I've read on Oneplus page, when you hit restart (after installing magisk) it will reboot and during that erase all data. then reboot again to system. So you cannot restart via system updater,, you need use TWRP to flash it, so i would stick to the 1st post instructions (including 2-times install t ocover both slots). But hey, ican be wrong, you can try and let us know, it would be easier for sure
Is this the only way to get root on DP4?
Simple way
Info for TMobile gm1915 on 9.5.11
You must have magisk installed.
Update through local upgrade method and don't reboot. Then go to magisk select modules hit + and find twrp installer install twrp and then choose install magisk choose install to inactive slot. Then reboot.
Data does not get wiped but fingerprints need to be added again.
Also twrp decryption does not work so best to keep otg USB with you with whatever you may want to flash.
You don't have to flash to both slots it's not necessary but do as you wish.

Hi, I followed all the steps in OP and didnt. using latest twrp and magisk 19.3 (stable)
Now my phone is still starting its first boot about 15 minutes.
Update:
Probably the problem: installed magisk modules.
Anyway after some research default twrp is'nt mounfing local storage. The latest custom TWRP is! So no issues with USB Anymore, just use local storage like u used to do! This is actualy the only way to use the Magisk uninstaller because you need to mount data for uninstalling magisk modules.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...nt/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322
Anyway it took me a view hours of testing but now it works smooth! ?
There is confusion over which recoveries to install for Redmi 6 (cereus).
Failure to install the correct TWRP will result in a hard brick with no chance of restoring the device without an authorised account or going to a Mi Service Centre.
If you are currently on the MIUI Oreo ROM:
You may ONLY use TWRP 3.3.0 OR 3.2.3-0 OR 3.2.3-1
The recovery by either TWRP or LR.Team is both ok.
If you are on the PIE rom:
You MUST use TWRP 3.3.1 or OrangeFox Recovery. R10.0-2 nocrypt Pie is confirmed to be working by me.
To root MIUI pie, follow the instructions in this post from 4PDA. This is because you will be unable to decrypt data.
You need to create an account to download the patched boot.img. You can either create one yourself or ask me or someone else to PM you with the boot.img. I will not attach it to this thread because it is not my work. The files have now been attached. See post below.
All credits go towards the respective recovery authors and 4pda
OK here are the boot files from 4pda

I did something wrong just don't know what
I tried with OrangeFox and when rebooted in recovery the phone would not turn on and just vibrates.
I was lucky because I just needed to open and remove the battery to get the phone back up.
So just to get it right (please correct me if i'm wrong):
Starting from unlocked MIUI stock with android 8.1 base:
0) Download patched boot image from OP
1)Download TWRP 3.3.0 OR 3.2.3-0 OR 3.2.3-1
2)Download Magisk 19.3 Stable (would the latest stable also work https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445?)
3)Download official Pie Rom: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM/miui_HM6Global_V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM_99304098f7_9.0.zip
4)Enter Fastboot -> Flash TWRP
5)Enter TWRP -> Flash the Pie Rom -> Flash patched boot.img -> flash Magisk
6)Boot into system -> Leave the device alone for 2-3 minutes and install Magisk Manager
7)Download -> TWRP 3.3.1 or OrangeFox Recovery. R10.0-2
8)Enter Fastboot -> Flash TWRP/OrangeFox
would this be the correct procedure?
cheers

?????????????????????
Why don't you skip steps 1-3 and just use XiaoMi Flash to install 10.4.4.0 via Fastboot by 'saving user data', then follow the instructions here? XiaoMiFlash will overwrite your recovery with the default so there is no risk of a brick. Then Flash TWRP Pie, flash boot img, flash magisk.
As I have said, you will brick your device. If you have TWRP Oreo, and then you install MIUI Pie, you will brick your device. You are doing EXACTLY what I told you not to do!
It didn't come out as clearly as you think. maybe it's my own deficiency.
btw whenever i flashed any update via TWRP the recovery got replaced by stock recovery as well.
(I don't tell this to call into question that your suggested way of doing was the most safe way.)
Is XiaoMi Flash available for linux as well?
edit: do you know if the latest magisk stable 20.0 would also work?

I'm not sure - I have never flashed any MIUI ROM in TWRP. It seems normal though - the updaterscript probably tells TWRP to overwrite itself.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-miflash-linux-t3708847 It's a bit complicated
This work for me :
1 - Install Pie Rom https://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM/miui_HM6Global_V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM_99304098f7_9.0.zip with TWRP 3.3.1 https://mifirm.net/downloadtwrp/62 or with another method.
2 - Shut down the phone , go to fastboot (Vol - and power), plug to computer.
3 - From the computer fastboot flash boot boot_10.4.4.0_R6_mgsk_193.img (see the second post of this thread).
4 - fastboot flash recovery recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0602-REDMI6-CN-wzsx150.img
5 - Recovery (Vol+ and power)
6 - Install Magisk 19.3
Reboot and enjoy
Hi, currently I'm on stable China mui v10.4.3.0. Do you have boot.img on that v10.4.3.0. Currently link only provide boot.img for v10.4.2.0 for the china version. If no how do I get those, can I just backup them from twrp, Then create patched boot img with those backup boot? Thanks

I have the camera and flashlight problem too. Any fix?
Unfortunately, I didn't find any solution.
Currently, my phone does not start, has a black screen and vibrates all the time. I can't run it in any way
EDIT:
Hi.
I was able to bring the phone to life. Get instructions on how to get to the battery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9FH88b16bc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAflA4UKLLY. In orangeFox recovery I checked the flashlight, it works.
That makes us two. My phone is unusable at the moment. I thought the root was responsible for the camera bugs, I uninstalled magisk, the bug was still there. I tried to reinstall MIUI 10.4.4 ang got an error. I've wiped everything including vendor and system.
I clean dalvik and cache and for now the phone is working even, after flash the patch boot.img

Miui v11 boot.img please
Hello
My Device is running on Stock Android Q BN 11.0.5.0
Recently i installed magisk in my device (keeping OTA).
When i install Magisk Module for Internal audio recording and reboot device it was stucked in bootloop.
Then i flashed stock boot img
After flashing i reboot the device and it is rebooted successfully. But Magisk and Root Access has gone.
Then after i again flash Magisk patched img created by Magisk installer but this time it is again stucked in bootloop.
I tried to flash zip with temporary Twrp but problem is not solved.
Currently i dont have Magisk installed.
Please Help Me to gain root access again
Thank you.
Please reply or DM me https://t.me/adarsh_ad007
1. Reboot to bootloader (fastboot mode) and boot into TWRP (I prefer 3.3.1-5 4pda_edition) in fastboot, go to Advanced -> File Manager -> data -> adb - > modules, and delete all files (directory) belonging to a problematic module
2. Reboot to fastboot and boot into stock boot.img thus checking that it boots;
3. if stock boots, reboot to bootloader and try to boot into magisk_patched.img thus checking that it boots;
4. After that you can make root permanent in MagiskManager, if you wish
thank you bro it diid not work. i tried but not working

Maybe there was still something that skipped your attention. Pls look at scenario:
- patch stock boot image using MagiskManager with, let us say, Magisk 20.1; boot this patched image, make direct install - root got;
- update Magisk to. e.g., 20.3 installing Magisk-v20.3(20300).zip (root got, everything ok);
- play with new Magisk modules, install wrong version, get bootloop;
- make some otherwise correct steps, like reflashing stock boot;
- finally try to get root with boot image previously patched by Magisk 20.1.
Result: no root, MagiskManager does not accept Magisk 20.1., it expects boot image patched with 20.3
Hi all, as the title implies, I'm a newbie to all this. I tried to root my phone using an online guide on how to root xiaomi mi 9 using TWRP and Magisk. I faced some problems but eventually everything was done as the tutorial said.
Here are the exact steps I've done...
- unlocked the phone via Mi unlocking tool
- started fastboot and installed TWRP 3.3.1-0 ( I installed a version first that didn't start when I pressed both power and volume up, then installed the 331-0 version that worked)
- inside TWRP i installed Magisk 20.4
- The phone restarted but never reach the system. It hangs for sometime on android screen then restarts again and then brings me again to TWRP
I spent quiet sometimes reading online solutions but nothing worked for me...
I tried installing Magisk uninstaller.zip nothing changed. tried wiping cache. Tried installing magisk 20 and 20.3
some solutions recommended installing Magisk 19 0r 17 but they both ended up with error for me.
Please help. I'm on Android 10 with MIUI 11
Never had any problems with magisk What TWRP version have you used?
The steps are the same:
-Unlocked phone.
-TWRP.
-Flash magisk zip (you can install magisk manager, then download latest official magisk zip from it and then flash downloaded zip from TWRP).
-reboot.
Anyway you can fix your system by:
-wipe cache/dalvik.
-FORMAT data (with yes).
I don't think you need this 2 first steps for flashing fastboot ROM but it won't hurt.
-Flash official fastboot ROM in fastboot mod, using mi flash tool or included batch/bash scripts (don't lock your device if you don't want to, choose the right option when you flash, with or without "lock").
Mi 9 Fastboot V11.0.5.0.QFAMIXM Global

You will loose all your data, apps and settings.
Thanks for your help mate...

Anyway, all my app and data are gone. I still want to root though, can you help me? what version of TWRP and Magisk i should use?

I would try flash latest fastboot ROM as i said before it will reflash almost everything And then flash magisk by installing magisk manager and download latest magisk zip through it and flash it with twrp-3.3.1-62-cepheus-mauronofrio TWRP
Sometimes first flash of TWRP don't work, just flash it ones more by fastboot flash twrp twrp-3.3.1-62-cepheus-mauronofrio.img from your pc.
Hopefully someone can help me out here:
I'm on Mi 9T (davinici) with xiaomi.eu-cROM 12.1.2 (Stable) and OrangeFox Beta R11.0 Recovery. Bootloader is obviously unlocked.
I followed the guide for Magisk v22.0 and installed the apk first, opened it and it says
"Ramdisk No"
Alright, so I have to patch the recovery.img.
In Orangefox Recovery I open the Terminal and extract recovery.img with
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery.img
Reboot to system and I chose "Install" in Magisk, "Recovery Mode" is already selected, click "Next" and I select the newly created file "recovery.img". Magisk does it's thing and I have "magisk_patched_cOdEy.img" in my Download folder which I pull with adb.
I reboot to fastboot mode and
Code:
fastboot flash recovery magisk_patched_cOdEy.img
which works w/o problems and reboot again.
But when I open Magisk it still says it's not installed.
So, I check the guide under Magisk in Recovery, where it gets really confusing, but from what I got is that I need to start the phone with recovery button combo (Power+VolUp for Mi 9T) pushed and release at splash screen so Magisk is activated. I try this multiple times since it's really hard with the timing (milliseconds too long it kicks me into fastboot mode. idk why).
Can someone figure out what went wrong/what I did wrong? Never had problems with earlier Magisk versions.
Follow up question: There's some warning about going back to stock recovery will brick your phone in installation. Does that include installing OrangeFox again? I'm 95% sure it doesn't, but would be nice to know before I do it.
Some Xiaomi devices have their bootloaders set up so that it will accept an initramfs that was manually added to the boot image. Therefore, on these devices you'll need to patch the boot image even though there's no ramdisk. Try that.

Can I reinstall OrangeFox or TWRP recovery then?
I'll report back, when I tried it.
edit: So this actually works and I was able to enter TWRP recovery again after flashing.
edit 2: Now WiFi is not working anymore. fml.
edit 3: For anyone stumbling over this thread. Nothing worked, I had to do a compelte wipe and then flash Magisk "the old way", by renaming the .apk into a .zip and flashing it in recovery. That did the trick without any probems and I'm rooted now after quite a hassle.
yeah, I stumbled upon it. And I'm having the same/a very similar issue. I was very happy with Magisk up to v22 when the problems began.
I'm still at DerpFest based on Android 9.0 (from 2019 ) and TWRP-3.4.0.0.I had Magisk running since it was 19.4, upgraded it multiple times already. So didn't think much about updating to 22. Then, it said the same: no ramdisk. Pitty. OK, so I went ahead and let Magisk patch the TWRP.img I still got on my phone and flashed the patched TWRP onto recovery. Upon booting, Magisk is there, but no wifi, no sound, no light sensor, ... LTE works, though .
Anyways, I just want to get my old setup back, so I thought, I just flash the original TWRP again. According to the Magisk documentation, if I don't press any button, it should boot to Android without Magisk. Well, it always boots into Android+Magisk disregarding that. If I flash the original TWRP.img back, I always end up in TWRP. So, the order is: boot.img -> magisk-modified-recovery.img -> (boot.img?) -> system. How can I get the behaviour Magisk advertises?
And yes, I tried uninstalling Magisk (via uninstall.zip meythod), which said it would uninstall, but actually didn't. I also flashed different boot images (a backup I had in TWRP, the original boot.img I've found in the DerpFest zip...) to no avail.
So, Immortal68, which of the many wipes one can do did result in the old behaviour? And: now that you have Magisk22, does it say "Ramdisk: yes" again?
