I grabbed a Windows Machine, installed Python 3.10, and downloaded the latest firmware file direct from OnePlus.
I then unzipped the payload.bin file from the official zip file, and processed it through payload dumper. This provided access to the official boot.bin file, which I copied to my phone, patched with Magisk, and then copied back to my computer. I then flashed the patched boot file to my phone, thus providing root access via Magisk. After that was established, I grabbed the latest nethunter .zip file for Nord, and flashed it from within Magisk.
it is quite a bit of work, but well worth it.
