No issues installing my wife's P3 with flash-all (minus -w), rooted with Magisk 19.1 and TWRP 3.3.0-0 fully installed using Advanced > Install Recovery Ramdisk method.

Could you give me some more details on what you did to install Magisk? For the first time with my P3 I cannot get anything to work. I flashed the May update minus -w, but every method of installing Magisk 19.1 that I've tried ends up with a bootloop.

1) flash-all (minus -w). Phone reboots to system automatically.
2) shut down and boot to BL
3) fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-blueline.img (be sure to have a copy of the .img file on your phone)
4) install twrp using Advanced > Install Recovery Ramdisk > twrp-3.3.0-0-blueline.img
5) boot to system
6) shut down and boot to BL>recovery (TWRP loads)
7) install Magisk-v19.1 (I did already have 19.1 installed on this phone via Magisk Manager update/Magisk update from before the May image came out in case it matters, so if necessary install 18.1 and then update to 19.1 with Magisk Manager)
8) reboot to system
9) confirm root and install kernel (for me that was ElementalX automated install using EX Kernel Manager app but installing the kernel by going back to TWRP and flashing should do the same)
The two things I might be doing different than others are not using ADB to get back to BL or recovery (I always use the key combo) and booting to system before next step (I don't stack my TWRP/Magisk/kernel installs). Hope this helps.
Whew! Back in business. Thanks!

Well, I don't really know. I initially did what I always do: extract the new boot.img from the update, patch it with MM, run flash-all without -w, let the update finish, reboot and flash the patched boot to boot_a and boot_b. That bootlooped. I flashed stock boot.img and ran like that for a day. Next I booted (but didn't install) TWRP, and tried to install 19.1 (bootloop), and 18.1 (wouldn't install). I decided to try to downgrade to the April update and did flash-all from there (without -w). Big mistake, because then it stuck on the G screen and wouldn't boot at all. I ultimately was able to flash back to the May update, get it to boot, then followed your directions. I did have to install 18.1 first, because even after following your directions, 19.1 still bootlooped when installed from TWRP. MM was able to update to it fine, though, from 18.1. Who knows what the problem really was.

I'd just be spit balling at this point like you are, but at least you are up and running. I do think there is possibly something going on with Magisk going from 18.1 to 19.1 without Manager doing the back end work (even if it happened previously) since Magisk still does retain some data even if root is lost during the upgrade. There are certainly some changes that occured between 18.1 and 19.0 beta since coming from 18.1 you would need to redo your Magisk hide check marks. Either that or using MM to patch boot may have completely changed.

I probably just had something in some weird state, because I ran 18.1, 19.something beta, 19.something canary, then back to 19.1 stable when it came out. I forgot, I also ran the uninstaller at some point in my previous attempts.
I have a PIXEL 3 (Bought directly from Google) and AT&T is my carrier in Central VA. Been trying for a couple of days to get the May update, but nothing avail. Something I should be concerned about?

I was coming to ask the same question, only I am in WA and have T-mobile. Stock, not rooted. Not had an issue before.
Same here. New P3 during April, so awaiting first security update for my new device. Carrier is AT&T, but why would that matter, right? Just seems strange having to wait. I got the impression that monthly updates for Pixels would come out the same day they were announced as being available. Live and learn I guess.
Finally popped this evening (5/16/2019). No clue why the delay.

I have a Pixel 3 on Google Fi and still haven't gotten the update. Contacted support yesterday and they couldn't find anything wrong. They "promised" I'd get it. Always gotten them within a day or two before.
I guess I just never looked into this before since I'm a new Pixel user or I'm just naive but I assumed when I got a Pixel phones updates would not have to be pushed through my carrier anymore? No May update here on my stock Pixel 3 on T-Mobile.
Always get OTA on the day of release, stock phone, T-Mobile, the Netherlands.
(Pixel didn't launch in the Netherlands, I got it from Germany)
Just installed the may update OTA.
Anyone else having issues with apps accessing the gallery. Both WhatsApp and stock messenger now taking ages to display the thumbnails of the images and videos in my gallery when I add them to a message.
ok could I get some hints here on how to update?
I have rooted and I have magisk.

Did you use everroot option of flashfire? Which is still using su v2.78 SR1? I thought we would have needed SR4 for 7.1.
I need to make some backups and probably will flash this version on Thursday!
Made backups today (23/11) and successfully flash it! OP update with links!
Yes.

I flashed it a few minutes ago over stock 7.0 without wiping data and it seems to be the fastes and smoothest experience I ever had with this device. Can't say much more and didn't try to root, but I switched a few times between my two users und it's still fast and smooth. After switching between my users for two times with 7.0 a reboot was much needed! :fingers-crossed:
Mine is stuck at booting animation. No idea why first time this has happened to me before. Or does it just take like 20 minutes on first boot or what?
I flashed it manually through fastboot like normal.

20 minutes is too long. Have you tried to just power off then on? Sometimes, that's all it takes. It's happened to me but not for this flash.

seems way faster than 7.0 so far.... I just did a full reset on 7.0 a week ago and experience immediate lag after I installed my apps. I flashed the 7.1 dev image today and went through the same process. So far so good. I'll report back after a couple of weeks of usage.
Did anyone enrolled in the beta program get the OTA yet ?
Previously I got it the same day an announcement was made. Nothing received yet. As a matter of fact, I didn't even receive the November security update this month.. Never rooted, never modified.
Had to post. Clean flashed new preview , temp boot of twrp to flash latest SU (SR4) for root and set up as new device. Best google effort yet! No problems adjusting build prop to enable assistant and both Pixel and Nova Launchers are go as is new systemless option adaway. Couldn't help notice how responsive UI is and chrome is stable for me 4-5 tabs in using sites like fark.com and no/very few redraws after pushing the tablet with moderate demands. Looking forward to the December release, noticed USB charging was still fairly slow still, hopefully the batt life is ok too. Go Google, they might just catch up to Craig's AOSP version/kernel performance if they're not careful !
Completed clean flash this preview

Same here. My device is enrolled but no update. I had to manually flash the November update. I did wonder if it was anything to do with flashing custom Roms. I am on full stock Google image but no update yet.
I never flashed a custom rom on my N9 nor has it ever been rooted. Still haven't received Nov update nor the Beta program update.
If you flash a factory image then you are fully stock and you should receive all updates from google.

Has anyone received the ota yet? Or is google only doing a factory image this time for some reason?
Just manually flashed the stock preview. Much better than the stock 7.0 which is virtually unusable . This preview is solid and stable..
One of the main benefits of enrolling in the beta program was to be able to get OTA updates and not lose your data. Other devices in the program have received the OTA. Disappointing that the N9 hasn't to this date.

You can flash factory images without affecting your data partition. It is called "dirty flashing" for a reason.
My device has been through loads of updates, + the previous Preview images, by that method!

It is also possible to flash factory images with fastboot without wiping data.
Flashfire is just a convenient app for doing it (with needing a computer) for people who are rooted.

picked it up via OTA. They seem to be doing a better job getting OTAs ready right away. $10 says the screen flash is still there.
It supposedly fixes sound in video recordings, so that will be interesting to see. I don't record much video, but when I do, I want it to sound decent.
I just wish they'd fix the Google Assistant to start responding to the Hey Google hotword again. It's super frustrating when a key feature doesn't work.

Has anyone had any issues with Magisk on this January update? I just updated and tried installing Magisk v18 and started bootlooping. I may try v17.3. Ill report back
EDIT: v17.3 installed just fine

1. Magisk saved to the phone (Just to be sure, I would confirm you have the one that Topjohn posted with the same version very shortly after originally posting V18 originally since there was an issue installing kernels after his 1st V18. The one on the main Magisk thread is the right/current one)
2. flash-all (without -w)
3. Once system boots back up, shut down, boot back to fastboot with key combo (I do all of my boots to fastboot from full shutdown and with key combo not ADB) and fastboot boot the current (different versions for my two phones) TWRP .img
4. Install Magisk V18
5. Reboot system from TWRP
6. Verify root and SafetyNet
7. Install ElementalX from EX application
8. After kernel forces reboot, just normal maintenance stuff like definitions for AdAway, checking modules, reinstalling BusyBox, installing native tethering prop

It's probably at the bottom of Google's list of priorities. It is hard to replicate, occurs rarely, and doesn't affect performance in any way. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a fix any time soon.

I have been using the flash-all ( without -w) each month since I got the phone. I just installed the Jan update. However, the "Security patch level: September 5, 2018" still shows. Are you guys getting this too?

It should say Jan 5. Something went wrong, redo it and make sure you redownload the Jan update. Feels like maybe you didn't clean up or grabbed the wrong image.
Strangely, since January update,I try to modify my host file again but it stay there only for a few minutes and get erase back to the original... Anybody know why?
Why does it matter if you reboot-bootloader or using the "key combo"? It shouldn't matter.

I don't know, but I know there was some wonky behavior in TWRP a couple of months ago that only showed if you used ADB reboot or TWRP reboot. My only guess is that something gets cleared from memory during a full power down and that it simply looks like the difference is in the electronic vs. key combo method when it is actually in the power down function.
I think you are right. I talked about this on another thread because I have placed a LatineIME folder in my system/app folder, changed permissions, rebooted and used AOSP keyboard fine with every other update until Jan. Now, I place the folder in my system/app, change permissions, reboot and it is gone. I have tested this on three different phones, og pixel, Pixel 3, and Moto G5 Plus running custom Pie rom with Jan update. All three have the same problem.

As usual, this WILL void your warranty and I am NOT responsible for anything you do with this. Installing it properly won't brick your Fire TV, but doing stupid things with it might.
First, you must be unlocked. You can follow the instructions here for making that happen.
If you are first starting, you should first unlock, then install this ROM, and THEN install Magisk for root or any other addons. This rom uses addon.d to preserve Magisk and any other addons, but any system modifications like Magisk, gapps, etc, that you have installed prior to this ROM will NOT be preserved.
If you've already unlocked and installed Magisk, then after installing this ROM you need to reinstall Magisk in TWRP.
Starting with 6.2.6.6, Magisk is always installed.
Beyond that, Magisk and any other addons will be preserved as you flash newer roms. Consequently, if you would like to remove root, you will need to wipe /system in TWRP prior to installing this ROM. That will prevent it from being restored when installing the ROM.
Thanks to @k4y0z and @xyz` for the unlock.
NEVER FLASH A STOCK ROM >= 6.2.8.0 AFTER FLASHING 6.2.8.1_r2 OR LATER! THIS WILL BLOW AN EFUSE.

Any idea what version of gapps would work on this? Also, any idea if installing nanodroid, patched playstore & patching the ROM for signature spoofing be dangerous (as in bugger up the BL/TWRP)?
Awesome. This community is great.

Hi,
I successfully installed the hacked bootloader and TWRP a few days ago, but I did not do anything else. I was still on the original 6.2.5.8 version.
Today I wanted to flash the prerooted 6.2.6.5 and I can't manage to boot it (and since I did not expect problems, I did not make a backup of the old system). I cannot go past the "firetv" boot logo and in this stage "adb logcat" is not yet working, so I don't see any logs.
First boot was just installing the ROM. Second boot with previously wiping Cache / Dalvik. Finally I wiped also data (and Cache/Dalvik again). I cannot get past the boot logo.
So what can I do? Was there a firmware update between 6.2.5.8 and 6.2.6.5, which I need and is not included in the prerooted image? I'm just guessing since I cannot explain anything else...
Thanks Tim

Yes, I have checked MD5 on my notebook after download, but not after pushing the file to the stick. I will do that now and post it here (with edit). But I doubt this being the issue.

The hardware is fully ok. The installation of hacked BL worked very smoothly and the stick did work with the original firmware until I flashed the prerooted one today. I have two guesses, but I don't know how to proceed:
1. I know there are sometimes firmware updates on specific fire OS versions, which need to be installed for later versions (for example version 5.2.6.7 on fireTV 2 [sloane]). So if I need a firmware update for 6.2.6.5 (from 6.2.5.8) I should probably flash 6.2.5.8 back and let the fire OS do the first update.
2. Or there is something left from the old version (in one of the partitions) which prevents this version from booting. This would mean that you need to be already on 6.2.6.5 (or at least on a higher version than me), that this ROM works.
In both cases, I would probably recover when getting the original firmware version 6.2.5.8 from somewhere.
EDIT: As I said in the first post, I did not do anything with the original ROM, except flashing the hacked BL and TWRP, no Magisk or whatever.

OK :good:
Have you installed the magisk.zip behind the rom? May be it won't start without that? You may try that...
May be that dm-verity and/or SELinux enforcing is a problem without magisk, as magisk take care of that automatically...
No mouse Emulator support in TWRP with the 4K stick?
How do you install the rom if you don't have USB OTG cable?

Yes, that's it. Magisk needs to be installed after the "prerooted" image! Now the stick boots up!
Amazing, thank's!
I thought a prerooted image is prerooted.

Yes, that's it. Magisk needs to be installed after the "prerooted" image! Now the stick boots up!
Amazing, thank's!
I thought a prerooted image is prerooted.
@rbox: It would be nice, if you could mention this in the first post.

That's what I mean. It's not mentioned that you need Magisk in any case (to boot the image as such *and* probably also to get root [which is not prerooted then?]).
Thanks again!

Awesome. This community is great.
Does this work for european (Italian) Sticks? (Prime video, Alexa etc etc).

I reply to myself and happy to confirm I installed this "generic" image to my US Stick 4K and after I accept terms of use *Italian* Alexa and Prime video seem to wotk fine.
If I remember well my previous image was the 6.2.5.8 (basically the one I installed when the exploit for Fire TV Stick 2 (Tank) was released but can't be 100% sure.
Now I have to try it on my *Italian* Stick 4k (bought on amazon.it).
Amazing and thanks a lot again.
Puppinoo.
So great to see @rbox 'es prerooted roms for the Fire TV Stick 4k
There are some things that I am not familiar with:
1. What is magisk for and what if I don't install it?
2. Does root not work without magisk?
On the older Fire TV Devices we did never have to install magisk or so and it was prerooted with rboxes roms and root was working. Why is everybody talking about magisk? Can magisk break anything or be critical like xposed was on the Fire TV 2 box? I remember that xposed framework was a pretty messy issue for recent Fire TV 2 (Sloane) pre-rooted roms. Magisk seems to go deeply into the system, similar to xposed framework, isn't it?
Build number
DE2117_11_C.17
Hardware version
DE2117_11
I keep seeing T-Mobile version, INTL version, DE18 and all that. I'm so confused, I just need root.
I believe that's the international version since mine is DE2117. Not sure because of the "_11" at the end of yours. Maybe that signifies you updated it, in which case you will probably have to downgrade it.
Rooting this phone is a headache btw. I'm not even sure if I should be providing instructions because I bricked mine multiple times while attempting and had to keep restoring with MSMtools, and now I'm not even sure I can update it without losing root. I don't even think I did anything differently when it finally worked, it's just luck.
Anyway, first step is to download the international version of the MSMtools and payload dumper. look up how to dump the boot image with payload dumper from the MSMtools. And make sure you don't attempt to do anything to the device before unlocking your bootloader (and you'll have to unlock it again everytime you restore with MSMtool).
From there you should be able to follow guides.

I downloaded the latest update available from https://www.oneplus.com/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1630638351161
But the phone is updated to July. Hmmmm.....
I've extracted the boot.img from there. Patched it with magisk. I'm about to fastboot flash it..... Wish me luck, I'm going in.
Unless there's a way to extract the boot.img that's currently installed. I think I'll poke around and look for that rather than simply hoping this is the right one.

[GUIDE] Root and keeping root options
Update 230526: Correct numbering of "B.1.1 Simple" to "B.1.2 Simple", use "OOS 13+" instead of "OOS 13" as OOS 13.1 is now available A. First time rooting This process is common across all options A.1 Flashing Magisk patched boot image There...
forum.xda-developers.com
A1.1 will get the boot.img your device currently has.
Edit: if you flashed the boot.img from the official site, then your device is most likely bricked. I'll fetch my boot.img and link it here (won't be magisk patched).

Edit: I forgot to do the vbmeta stuff after flashing the magisk patched. How do I fix? Can I borrow your vbmeta, @justauserthatusesaphone ?

So I can update my oneplus and then patch and use this bootimg to regain root? Or will trying to update my rooted device brick it and I'd have to wipe everything and start from scratch anyway?

Don't worry about it. I redid the MSM tool since the phone wasn't even setup yet, no big loss.

So, I don't know how this phone handles updates. I've had previous phones that if it was rooted, the OTA would fail to install, and others that the OTA would install and replace the boot.img, so root would be removed.
The first case, I would have to unroot, restore the stock boot.img, and then it could take the OTA update.
The other case I would have to block OTAs until I could get the boot.img for it, so that I could root the update.
The guide posted here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-root-and-keeping-root-options.4387977/
part B explains how to update and maintain root. Seems like it's the first case. Restore stock boot.img.

You could turn off automatic system updates so it doesn't reboot automatically and then you install the update and when it asks you to restart, go into magisk and click install and install to inactive slot then you go back to the system update page and click restart. I don't know whether Google's ota system makes it easier or not.
Late reply but I can confirm that all updates fail on this device and you would have to unroot to get the update, and then root again. Very annoying that it's constantly notifying me that an update is available or that it tried to update last night and failed

I never had that issue but if you do, press uninstall and restore images (DON'T REBOOT), then after installing the updates (DON'T REBOOT) press install and install to inactive slot. Press the reboot button and you're done.
Lineage installation on N200 REQUIRES that you are running Android 11 or phone will soft loop after installing the Lineage boot.img
If you are updated to Android 12 firmware and want to install Lineage, you MUST downgrade first to:
DE2117 OEM Android 11 FINAL OTA
WARNING: This WILL erase all user data.
1. Place the firmware .zip file in the user root of internal phone storage.
2. Sideload OnePlus firmware Downgrade Tool on phone and use tool to flash the Android 11 firmware.
There is an Emergency Firmware install tool that OnePlus posted to the OP forum that does NOT check root status when the need to downgrade back to A11 was first acknowledged due to modem issue with first A12 OTA release.
This file was removed in a few days when they posted the official Downgrade tool replaced it.
I have used this tool to upgrade DE2117 C_16 to DE2117 C_17 while rooted and the built in upgrade tool failed at 37%.
Nice, first thanks for the hard work you're putting in. Second, is there an advantage to converting first to DE2117 then installing lineage as opposed to just installing lineage from DE2118 that you know of? I know in the other post you answered my other question stating that the Lineage will install on either so I wasn't sure if I'd get any benefit from starting over and converting my DE2118. TIA

Lineage is using own kernel and boot.img on A11 so in the short run it is not going too make any difference, but when Lineage moves forward to A12 the OEM Firmware has newer drivers and is updated sooner, has more OEM features and bugfixes as well as no carrier bloatware.
It is possible that OP will neuter the Carrier firmware with an OTA update to prevent cross flashing device away from the Carrier rom in the next OTA update by preventing fastbootd from flashing the us oem from a carrier phone.
They have already removed fastboot boot command to boot a boot image without flashing it for test before you flash and to allow Magisk to make a backup of the original boot.img before adding Magisk.
I would convert NOW, before they decide to slam the door on this ability with a future OTA that will not allow you to downgrade and prevent this as they are under contract with the carriers to not allow this to be done.
Ok, thank you for the explanation. Guess I'll back everything up and convert it.

This worked perfectly after following your convert guide and upgrading to 12. Downgraded back to 11 so I could install lineageOS. Thanks again!
This reddit post has a link to an English version of the downgrade apk which makes it a little easier.

Did you remove root (Restore boot.img) and then factory reset?
You will loose all data doing this anyway.
I m trying as well .. but stuck with verification failed message just as scanman0 I m on stock android12 no root if anyone know how to fix it ... please assit
I just downgraded. Make sure you remove root via magisk. Then proceed to rollback to Android 11. Everything worked fine. I'll install lineage tonight when I get home.

I did not have to remove root. I used the version posted that does not check for root but maybe there's a different reason.

Just place apk in phones working directory, same path where your downloads folder is. Then install from there like any other apk and run. I also kept the FW file in the same directory but I'm not sure if that was necessary.
So, just to confirm, I press "local install" and select the firmware zip and it closes? Is the tool supposed to do anything else or am I good to flash LineageOS?

Ummm if I remember correctly hit local install and then it will prompt to point towards which FW to use. After you hit it, it will go back to the previous screen, I think verify and unpack it, then install it. Mine did appear like it was doing nothing after picking the FW and so I picked again which screwed things up so just wait after picking, it should start.
After its done it will give a message saying to restart phone I think for it to take effect, then after you restart it should ask to wipe phone, then restart again and you'd be in A11 presumably. Once in A11 your good to follow the normal procedure to install Lineage. This is all from memory though so I MAY have missed something but I don't think I did.

Nothing major, caused the UI to glitch out and made it seem like the process was stuck at 81% but when I closed the app and tried to do it again it jumped to 100 and said to restart the device.
I've downgraded a second time (I'm very indecisive on which OS I want to use) and that one went as expected since I knew to give it a second to start doing its thing.

Weird, for me it just closes the app and does nothing, both the official and emergency ones. I even tried adding it to magisk's deny-list.
But I just restored the boot image via magisk (didn't restart) and it works now...

Yes I factory restored the phone and tried again. Still fails every time
Has anybody had any luck figuring out the verification failed message? I too have tried both the official and emergency apps, of course I can't read the actual message in what I presume is Chinese, but it doesn't do anything and the other version says verification failed. Have not rooted. Kind of at a loss right now and all I want to do is install Lineage! I've already got my unlock token from OnePlus, but my understanding is that the phone still needs to be on A11 before installling Lineage.
