It seems that the size difference is vast, so I would request one of you to download the stock boot.img from the repository, patch it and rechceck the file size.
You can try the patched boot.img and inform whether it works, for any issues/help PM me.

I am upgrading the firmware to 9.5.3 right now. As soon as it finishes, I would try and report back

EDIT : The patched boot image on my phone is 56.32 MB so yes there is substantial size difference. Let me try booting from it

You can also patch the boot.img yourself.

Here is how:
.) Download latest Stock OOS
.) Extract boot.img using payload.bin dumper (needs python)
.) Install Magisk Manager on your device
.) Copy boot.img to your device
.) Patch boot.img using Magisk Manager
.) Copy patched boot.img to your pc, reboot your phone to fastmode and use 'fastboot boot patched_boot.img' to boot from patches bootimage.
.) Run Magisk Manager, choose direct install
-> Voila, you have a rooted OP7pro.

Yes if you're on another version of OOS, this method works

Your patched boot.img is about 56mb in size while my extracted boot.img is 100mb in size. There might be something wrong with your boot.img ...

Did it work?

That extra 44mb is most likely empty space, which patching with Magisk removes like on other devices.

You might be right since after 56% of the file everything is just blank.

Same thing happens on the Essential Phone. Extracting the image with dd gives you a ~60mb boot image but Magisk brings it down to 23mb.

Well then the patched image should work without any problems, and others who want to root with TWRP there's an unofficial version out as well

Thanks for the patched boot.img but this command did not work for me

Code:

fastboot boot patched_boot.img

For me this has worked

1. Install Magisk Manager
2.. Reboot device to bootloader
3.. open cmd at the location of the extracted patched_boot.img
4.. In cmd type

Code:

fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img

5.. In cmd type

Code:

fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img

6.. In cmd type

Code:

fastboot reboot

7.. Open Magisk Manager, it will prompt you with additional files are needed to complete Magisk install, go ahead and download the files.
8. After a few seconds, install will be complete and you will be rooted!

Hey man

Thanks for this, your commands worked but unfortunately I messed up my phone. Kinda new to rooting. Just realized I was on 9.5.4 on a GM1913. The patched boot image on here for 9.5.3 broke my wifi and the settings app completely unstable, it crashes constantly.

Not sure if the problem was that I used the boot image for 9.5.3 on 9.5.4 or because the patched boot image on here was intendend for other versions of the OP7P and not the European GM1913.

Does anyone have a flashable zip for the GM1913? Alternatively a stock or patched boot image intended for 9.5.4 GM1913? Any help would be much appreciated, still no OP7 here https://www.oneplus.com/support/softwareupgrade so I am stuck with a non working phone

What error did you got when you tried that command? Did you oem unlock first and enabled usb debugging?

@acervenky @b0uNz @GoodSoul

Unlike older OnePlus phones, the current bootloader of the OnePlus 7 Pro doesn't allow 'fastboot boot' (also known as tethered booting) command. The situation is same as Essential PH-1 as well some other phones.

You will get something like the following:

Code:

downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [  1.215s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)

Yep, that's the same error I got initially. Do you have any idea as to what went wrong with my phone?

I am wondering if I messed up because I flashed the patched boot.img for 9.5.3 while being on 9.5.4, or if it's because it was for the wrong version, I have a GM1913.
Are boot images unique for each model, like GM1913, GM1917 etc?

Hey guys, for anyone that has OOS 9.5.4. Here is a patched boot image for it! https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397968832

Hey man, thank you! :good::good:

You might have just saved my day. Quick question before I flash it though, is this for the GM1913 or GM1917?

Never mind, I couldn't wait so I tried it and my phone is fixed! I am rooted and wifi and the settings are working again. Thank you so much.

@acervenky, could you add the 9.5.4 boot image to the OP? Just to avoid any other noobs like myself messing up their brand new phone like I did with the wrong boot image..
Also does anyone know if boot images are specific to different models? Are they different on GM1913, 1915, 1917 etc? Would be good to mention that in the OP too if so.
