TWRP Backup - https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/dp3-twrp-backup-t-mobile-magisk-t3952304
But you need to download the the QB3 update zip and upack the payload.bin with a payload dumper
Make sure your device is on international and unlocked of course
Boot into Twrp recovery and copy the system.img and vendor.img onto device
Flash both images in respective partitions and on both A and B slot
Wipe data after flashing and reboot into bootloader
From directory of the rest of IMG you've extracted you'll want use fastboot and flash:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo_a dtbo.img
fastboot flash dtbo_b dtbo.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_b vbmeta.img
Then reboot and done
Don't delete files just yet
Haven't tried but certain you can root this way:
After you've setup your device you can download magisk manager. Select the boot.img on you pc, in your dump folder, and copy it to your device again. In the magisk manager patch the boot image you copied, and copy that onto your PC
Now boot into bootloader and use command
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
Or if that doesn't work try
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
And if device doesn't boot for any reason just flash back the stock boot.img
Enjoy

-About TWRP- (from my knowledge)
DON'T FLASH TWRP
I think recovery is running in boot.img now I'm not sure
But it seems we may need to patch the bootloader to have the recovery in there
Ive unpack both boot IMG from dp3 and Twrp IDK if they're made different but they look different unfortunately I don't understand enough to patch but hopefully that helps idk
So I wouldn't try flashing or booting into recovery it'll just freeze and flashing will mess up the whole device and you'll have to use msmtool again and redo process

It's not about patching.
Flash stock boot.img to both slots as I'm guessing you aren't sure which one your on.
I'll give u a twrp that works for qb3 also proper instructions.
T-Mobile version downside is we can't flash ota and we can't boot qb3 wth fastboot twrp so flashing the twrp.img now replaces kernel in boot.img.

Thanks, so I'll have to use the "flash recovery Twrp.img" command now?
Or, is it a custom one Twrp only for dp3?
And thank you by the way I'll probably post a guide using a backup from Twrp then
And I'm aware of checking the active slot with a command but I have trouble switching to the opposite after rebooting because of set_active command maybe I'm doing something wrong

Our recovery is built in boot.img.
Uploading now
---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------
Boot to fastboot
fastboot getvar all
See which slot is active.
If it's slot a then this
fastboot flash boot_a qb3-twrp.img
If it's slot b then this
fastboot flash boot_b qb3-twrp.img
Once flashed choose boot recovery and once it boots u can flash stock boot.img back then flash magisk 19.4 while in twrp.
U must use USB drive decryption isn't working yet. Or adb sideload.
I've only tested this on T-Mobile version running qb3.

Not yet, but if you flash the stock boot image after then would there be any point in flashing the patch boot before hand? And, what I was looking for is a more permanent solution. So, that it'll boot and you can go to Twrp whenever without having to use a PC.
If that's the case and it works then nevermind but I remember and if I'm mistaken that, even if you flash the Twrp installer it'll still boot loop after the installation.
If that's still a problem maybe someone more skilled than I, or even you, can patch the stock bootimg themselves. And, eveb get it working for the future time on Q
Maybe unpacking and looking inside the boot.img and Twrp.img, the repacking with the proper adjustments

I'm aware of the permanent solution your looking for. This is the first step. With magisk installed u can simply use the installer in my android file host by selecting modules push the + sign and find the installer then without rebooting install magisk direct install. Then u can boot to recovery with advanced reboot menu. U can also just do everything in twrp. After u flash twrp.img .

Just like my guide last month on OnePlus forums as I am jacksummers, even if u do this we still have no calling ability whatsoever. SMS is barely working and it still blows for us. I have been trying everything to get the whole thing to not only flash and install but be able to boot with no hardware mismatch... It won't work unless we can resign the firmware with OnePlus signing keys after changing everything to say "single" still. Since we cannot change the phone. There is still something in the phone that comes back as op6tsingle

My phone is off rn but I receive calls and texts and I've been receiving calls on my T-Mobile OnePlus 6t since I flashed it... Make sure you're on international version
the only problems i ran in myself so far are app optimzations and when i'd recieved calls and answer my voice would sound weird to them but id hear them perfectly (not my problem lol jk jk)

Yeah u need to flash every other partition in the bin dump. If it tells u u cannot bc it's a critical partition then ya can't. Once u do so u will have full function and on calls. It's basically everything in the payload.bin but abl,xbl, hyp, and a few others that tell ya they're critical partitions. Once u do that everything works Perfectly.. my main issue was the call issue u described..but do as I suggest and all will work

[MAGISK] [BOOT] Pre rooted Boot.img for Oneplus 6T Android 10 Open Beta 1

Hi Guys
UPDATE 2: (2/11/2019) Boot img now patched to Magisk V20.1 and added Google Drive as a mirror
UPDATE: It has come to my attention that some users are having issues with this version, please note this is still in beta and root isn't fully supported yet, also please make sure your running the latest magisk manager (version 7.3.5 at the time of this update) BEFORE flashing the patched boot IMG, those currently having issues, try flashing the stock IMG provided and installing the latest magisk manager then flashing the patched IMG
here is a working magisk patched boot img for you guys wanting root on your new android 10 open beta 1 software.
PLEASE BE AWARE THIS DOESNT COME WITH TWRP, THIS MAY ALSO BREAK THE ORIGINAL STOCK RECOVERY, BY FLASHING THIS BOOT IMG, YOU TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR DEVICE AND NEITHER I OR XDA WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE
this DOESNT contain TWRP but is just rooted with magisk v20.0
simply flash the provided file in fastboot with the following command
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
Code:
fastboot reboot
Please note this will ONLY work with the OnePlus 6T
i have also provided the stock android 10 boot img in case anything goes wrong

Trying now. Will report.
Update: Well, after a reboot, it is just sitting at the spinning animated boot logo...been like 10 minutes.
Also couldn't enter recovery after flashing the new patched boot img.
Update 2: Flashed back stock boot.img then recovery worked and phone booted fine.

Do i need a computer for this ?

Did you try this by chance? We have the A/B partitions I don't think "fastboot flash boot ... " flashes both partitions.

Only the active partition gets flashed by default that is booting...it does that fine. I don't think Magisk is compatible on the OP6T for rooting and patching the new boot.img.
Same thing even manually flashing both. It just sits with the spinning boot animation for eternity.
I also used the payload extractor and took the stock boot.img and patched it with Magisk myself. Same issue. So obviously Magisk just doesn't suppor this phone yet and Devs need to work on it.
Thx

Weird I was able to do the local update and install magisk to the inactive partition prior to reboot. On reboot worked fine just no recovery.
Maybe it just doesn't like this particular one. I used the latest canary version.
I'll try patching one when I get home and see how it goes. If it works out I'll post it here.

Yes, I did the same thing. Also, as mentioned above, I used the payload extractor and grabbed the stock boot.img right from the Beta1 zip file.
Then, cppied over to the phone, used Magisk with Canary build as well, then flashed both boot_a and b directly with the patched file. Just sits at the animated boot spinning.
Flash stock images back, boots right up. I'm on a OP6T unlocked US phone on VZW. No problems with any other build beta or stable with twrp or magisk and custom kernels.
Thanks

Black screen after the update
[Solved] I am facing a serious issue. I was on Magisk v20.0 and Twrp 3.3.1-1
- I uninstalled Magisk
- Installed the OTA from local
- Installed Magisk on the second partition
- Reboot
Phone rebooted
But I am getting a totally blacked out screen. Calls work, vibration, Oneplus gestures work, just the screen is black (even in safe mode)
Can anyone please help me get this sorted (with data preserved if possible) I didn't back up the data cuz I wanted to do it after I updated to 10 (as downgrading wipes the system)
Problems:
ADB is not working (unauthorized) as I haven't turned on any developer options yet and can't due to black screen.
No way to unroot at this point without adb or twrp.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: Flashed boot.img and it worked. I guess magisk.img is not compatible or I am doing it wrong. My bet is on the latter.

Hy, do you have proximity sensor problem after update?! Thanks...is anything i can do?

Same happened to me
Phone boots to a Black screen
adb reboot bootloader -> works
fastboot flash boot boot.img -> works
Only Patched boot.img -> boots to black screen
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6010 using Tapatalk

Same for me. Softbrick and phone doesn't boot. It also encrypted my whole /data with diferent password i think and I had to wipe whole /data partition. System boots after wiping data storage but as soon as I install magisk it doesn't want to boot again. I guess I will wait for final image and TWRP support.

i couldnt flash it manually (via cmd), but all in one tool managed it well.
worked fine and quick,thank you

Crazy that some phones it is working and others it doesn't. Nothing we are doing wrong, OP has work to do still. I can imagine this official update to Q is going to cause a support fiasco...if you want to root that is. ROFL. All works fine with stock though upgrade. Understand it is Beta, but they claim a November official release
We are going to need some Dev help. Or going to need to sell this phone and upgrade to the 7t or Pro..haha

Nokia 4.2 Bricked, but can still enter FastBoot

Hello everyone :laugh:!
Tried rooting the Nokia 4.2, did not know which img to use exactly so I tried one from some other shady site and messed up. Luckily, the recovery partition was still working. After trying to boot lots of images, I got tired and accidentally even flashed a Nokia 6.2 TWRP image to my recovery partition. Then I completely messed up. The phone only gets into fastboot now. May I please ask some help of you? I've been trying for days to fix things. I just wanted to root the original firmware. Now when I try to flash TWRP, it even says that the 'recovery' partition has no partition table! I can still write to boot_a and boot_b though. The phone originally had the October patch level, but before bricking it I upgraded it to the December level.
Kind regards,
Alexander47u

I have tried this using QFIL, however the phone is not detected. The phone also goes into fastboot as soon as the cable is plugged in, even when the phone is off.
Have also installed appropiate drivers for QFIL, but no luck.

Extract the system, boot, dtbo, vbmeta and vendor img's from the downloaded archieve and flash those using fastboot

#metoo
Haha, I have done the EXACT same thing as you. Now I can only enter fastboot mode and when I try to flash anything I have downloaded I get an error about missing partitions. I have looked everywhere for details on the partition sizes, mount points and so on but nobody has uploaded the information. In the end I went and purchased a second device in order to dump the entire stock ROM in order to fix the first phone. I've got the second phone running in ADB-mode but I can only backup to an .ab file so now I am back at square one. All of the guides I can find on how to dump the ROM involves flashing TWRP recovery but THERE IS NONE FOR THE 4.2 :crying: And after researching Android forensics I have found a guide to dumping the ROM but it needs root access in the phone shell. All I wanted was root (and LineageOS). Does anyone feel like patching the stock ROM and making a zip-file containing the img-files from all of the partitions?

Hi. You need to check which slot is in use, A or B. You can also choose slot A or B with fastboot. Then you flash the images to the partitions by appending _a or _b to the partition name.
E.g.
fastboot --set-active=a
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
Etc.
You also need to make sure you have a recent version of fastboot, as the fastboot in some Linux package managers or blog posts for Windows give you the older one, which does not support changing active slots.
Inside the stock rom that can be found online, there is another archive containing the needed images.

Thanks for the tip! Looks like I solved it earlier, I found a "user_update" zip in one of the downloaded ROMs and used fastboot update user_update.zip. Wuhu! I did not specify the slot but the system boots up. On the first boot I got an error message asking me to restore factory settings which seemed to work. Now all I need to do is get root access... Alexander, did you manage to flash a rooted recovery now? Thanks in advance!

You need to put the stock boot.img unaltered on a sdcard or the internal storage and then run the Magisk android app. It will offer an option to patch the boot.img. Then you can place the patched boot.img back on your computer and flash it using fastboot.

I was able to succesfully patch boot.img with magisk, then I copied the patched boot image to my computer with linux. Fastboot flash boot boot.img worked but upon reboot I got an error message saying "corrupt data" and offered to do a factory reset. Any chance you can upload your patched boot image so I can use yours?

Up to March. I used the stock rom that is floating around on the internet. Not sure if I am allowed to post stock roms.
I was able to update to April using Magisk but not any further than that.

Tried this using a user_update.zip file from www[.]getdroidtips[.]com/stock-rom-nokia-4-2-firmware/. My phone boots again, but Wi-Fi doesn't work. My model # is TA-1133. What should I do?
Edit: tried to install the latest security OTA from t[.]me/nokiarepoen/379, V2.29C, but I get
Code:
E:Package is for source build 00WW_2_29B but expected 00WW_1_17I
. Is there a base user_update for build 00WW_2_29B floating around?

Patching boot.img for BV6300 Pro (Helio P70 / MTK)

Hi all, I'd like to share my experiences here about trying to patch boot.img for the Blackview BV6300 Pro which is one of the countless MediaTek Helio P70 (aka MT6771) China phones that can be had for a bit of change at every corner nowadays. It features a fairly non-clutter generic Android 10 ROM.
I bought it because of good feature/price ratio. I also like the fairly idiot-proof MTK Preloader/SP Flash Tool combo and expected no big problems having the phone patched. Apparently that estimate was wrong.
I extracted the boot.img (at exactly 32768k) and started patching it with the latest Magisk Manager (8.0.4). When set to "Stable" the patched result came out less than 12Megs which struck me as very odd, so I did not bother trying to flash that and switched to "beta". Et voila, out came a patched image that appeared to have just the right size.
Unfortunately, after flashing the patched image, the device detected a modified boot signature and flagged "Red State, rebooting in 5s", effectively entering a boot loop. Going back to stock, then unlocking the bootloader with fastboot and reflashing patched boot changed the "Red State" to "Orange State" but the boot loop persisted.
The boot loop message also suggests to either reflash stock or "disable verified boot". Yeah, but... Magisk Manager 8.0.4 seems to have lost the "Advanced Options" menu that had been there in previous versions, allowing users to toggle dmverity while patching boot images... so I wonder how to get around this!? Any suggestions?

Any solution for this, or any suggestions to try??

Have you tried this?

Thanks for your suggestion but it seems like this requires TWRP and, as far as I know, no TWRP recovery is available for the BV6300 Pro.

You have to unlock your bootloader FIRST and not after.Start from scratch and it will work,im sure.Cheers!!!

First make the new,i mean flash fresh firmware blablabla.Extract your firmware,copy boot img to phone,install magisk manager and patch the boot img(im sure you can do it without root(on my Redmi 9 it works),copy patched boot imhg to pc and use adb to flash,but be sure your bootloader is unlocked before.Good luck.

We must unlock the bootloader with fastboot mode or we can do it through developer options??

DId you mean to follow the guide of : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ncrypt-disk-quota-disabler-11-2-2020.3817389/ so we can disable verified boot, because that requires twrp and it is no supported on our device.
Or something else?? And where we find vbmeta.img that disable verified boot?

OOS stable boot image and patched magisk boot image both for 11.1.1.1.

Leaving this here as i ended up boot looping from installing custom kernel, and it being a new release i was pulling my hair trying to figure this out.
Flashed through fastboot with "fastboot flash boot_a XX.img, fastboot flash boot_b XX.img"
Magisk included as thats the one i ended up using.
Save yourself the headache if you are planning on installing a custom kernel for now, and wait till the kinks have been ironed out.

I found a workaround. Firstly go to fastboot mode and flash stable.img from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...os11-open-beta-2-3-and-stable-latest.4316563/ and boot into recovery. Now download TWRP and magisk and transfer to internal storage. Now flash TWRP and then download full OTA from here And put in storage https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6-6t-oxygenos-11-1-1-1/
and flash it. Don't reboot once it says done. Go back and re install twrp.zip. Now reboot. Go to recovery and install magisk and clear dalvik. Now reboot and enjoy.
Thanks to
KizuYuna and Skanda Hazarika for providing stable.img and OTA respectively.​

So I just flash the Magisk Patched into a and b slots and that should get me root using fastboot flash commands mentioned above? Sorry just wanted to double-check given that I had almost bricked my phone y'day :-D

Thats what worked for me, had to improvise as the OTA was brand new when I installed it, and bricked it with a new kernel, and had tried to fix it by flashing an old boot img but ended up complicating things even more.
You could always grab the stock 11.1.1.1 boot img and patch it in magisk manager yourself but procedure would be the same in fastboot

Just for the benefit of all (if it matters), noticed that Magisk wasn't passing the Safety Net check and was showing failed for all 3. Used this fix and all is well now (Used the Sept 13 update on the page)

previously patching with stable 11.1.1.1 and broke some major functionality (eg: wifi crash, mess up video player and codec), now try to patch with magisk version, will update later

This one works great. Thank you.

The attached file in #13 above worked, thank you!
In case someone would like to now "How to do it" until next time this is how I did it:
How to install OOS update and root via created patch.img file in the Magisk app
1. Download the full version eg the OOS 11.x.x.x.zip file on the computer, and copy the file to the phone's internal memory as well.
2. Run the payload_dump program (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962605222) to extract a boot.img from the computer. You have to extract the payload.bin file from the OOS 11.x.x.x.zip file and place it in the Input folder, then run the exe-file and wait for payload to complete, then copy over the boot.img file found in the Output folder to the phone.
3. Go to Magisk app on the phone, click on the top install "Magisk", click "Select and patch a file", search for the boot.img file you created.
4. Now, Magisk will create a patched magic.img file from the boot.img file (can be called eg magic_patched-23000_xt8QR.img)
5. Copy the magisk_patched-xxxxxxx.img to your computer's "Root folder" where you have stored ADB files, etc
6. Now install the OOS 11.x.x.x zip file (should be in the mobile's Internal memory) via Settings> System> System updates and the "gear"> Local upgrade
7. When done, DO NOT reboot but go directly to Fastboot mode + connect cable to the computer
8. On the computer, type from your "Root folder":
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-xxxxxxx.img
9. Reboot the phone - you are rooted!

Can confirm OP fastboot commands and patched boot img are working for 11.1.1.1.​​I uninstalled magisk by mistake and could regain root, quick and painless​

Can anyone help me? flashed patched boot to A and B Slot. But Magisk is N/A. Any idea?
