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

Hi, yes we are saying the same thing.. also note, for me, Calls last for a day, then broken again. Cannot use daily if u need to make phone calls. Testing with TMobile modem.img to see if resolved.

[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

I did a fresh payload dump. Flashed to both A/B partitions, reboot, booted up fast as hell.
Here's the one I patched

Not sure if it makes a difference but I did mine on linux with latest platform tools.

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

Let me explain my problem :
- I root magisk using twrp to root my phone but every time i do that my phone can't boot to system but only twrp (boot loop) and i have to factory reset to get back to the system . Also when i try to install unimod when i installed magisk it says that magisk is not installed .
- So i tried super su , it installed correctly and can boot properly but root checker says that he's not rooted ...
Can someone help me ? Thanks

Extract "boot.img" from your stock rom and flash it.
Reboot again to TWRP, then flash magisk. Reboot

With software like winrar or 7zip click right click on recovery rom and extract, then turn off your phone, press volume down and connect usb, you will see fastboot logo on your phone. Put previously extracted boot into same folder with minimal adb fastboot, flash with command fastboot flash boot boot.img

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

Works, Thank you!

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?

Magisk boot.img patched.

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?

Kindly provide me that zip too.

Question (solved) How to use magisk with V14.0.1 global rom?

Hi there, did anyone install magisk and root on new global rom using Fastboot?
To get boot.img I used this tool - https://github.com/ssut/payload-dumper-go/releases/tag/1.2.2
After that I patched boot.img in Magisk app as usual and then upload patched img using ADB and fastboot. But as a result - phone endless reboot.
Of course I uploaded original boot.img and the phone is back, but right now I`m trying to understand what I messed up.
Magisk 25.2, rom miui_STARGlobal_V14.0.1.0.TKAMIXM_f8a19b0595_13.0
Any ideas? Thx

Bro, download 14.0.1 global rom and open with winrar then pull out source file boot.img and copy to phone to patch it. Using tool to reverse build boot.img may cause errors.

This method also causes loop. Phone boots to main screen, but after 10 seconds, it reboots into stock recovery.

i used many times without any errors, after patch boot.img via magisk you must copy patched file img to computer and flash via adb_platform-tools. If any error check command again.

I've done exactly the same. Done before but 14 gives this problem. I patched using the command below from CMD.
C:] fastboot flash boot boot.img
