Magic v11 installation question

Hi, do i need install systemless SuperSU always in twrp before install magisk v11 if I want use new MagiskSU instead??
If I try install Magisk v11 with superSU uninstalled and phone unrooted TWRP give me error and installation fails and if I install superSU and after Magisk v11, Magisk manager say system is using SuperSU instead MagiskSU. How do I install Magisk with MagiskSU??
I have Samsung Galaxy S4 with optimized LineageOS 14.1

Read the pinned Magisk thread...
Unroot again using unSu by osm0sis (Google) before flashing magisk

Installation Instructions
If you're already rooted with MagiskSU, Magisk phh's superuser (not original), or Official Systemless SuperSU
Install/upgrade Magisk Manager from Play Store
Install/upgrade Magisk as prompted in the application
Reboot and you're done!!
If you're not rooted, or something went wrong and you need a clean start
(Recommended) Restore your boot image back to stock
Download the latest Magisk zip file
If you choose to use SuperSU (only support Android 6.0+), first flash SuperSU in systemless mode
Flash Magisk zip
Reboot, and update the stub Magisk Manager to the latest from Play Store

You need to FULLY unflash superSU using the zip that the other person told you to google.

Ok I will try unflash with the zip, I was using unroot inside superSU menu but installation instructions dont say nothing about the unflash with an extrenal script

Yeah that button doesn't work for systemless superSU. It doesn't roll back your boot.IMG like it should.
Worst case scenario, flash the stock boot.img and then flash magisk.

Thanks guys, I installed Magisk v11.1 with MagiskSU working, Magisk Hide enabled but I have CTS mismatch error now in Safetynet test. I guess I cant do nothing about this error. Optimized LineageOS 14.1 and Samsung Galaxy S4
EDIT: Finally I passed the Safetynet test (no CTS mismatch error) disabling ADB interface in developer options. Thanks for Magisk, amazing.

ahh, this would explain why my boot.img was not the same after "unrooting"! thanks for clearing this up for me...

By disabling ADB interface, do you mean the USB debugging part? for some reason I am still getting Safetynet error.

Thanks for this hint; got my build "passed" now appreciate it

What settings are you guys using in Magisk? I have disabled BusyBox, enabled Magisk Hide and systemless hosts. Superuser options are Access to "Apps and ADB" and Automatic Response set to prompt

I'm still having an issue installing Magisk on my phone with RAMROM V10. It gives me an ERROR 1.
It has been suggested that I should re-flash my boot.img with TWRP following the instruction:
Place your BOOT.img on your sdcard
Reboot into TWRP recovery
Tap "Install"
In the bottom right corner tap "Install Image"
Select your BOOT.img
Select the Boot Partition, then swipe to confirm Flash
However, when I follow the step, my TWRP cannot seem to find BOOT.IMG in my SD Card (I know it is there). What did I do wrong? Can anyone help?

i think the .img thingy is only for twrp.img files. You have to use another method to place your boot image like. -> make a backup of only your boot image via twrp backup function. Then duplicate that backup folder of twrp containing only the newly just regernated files, in the twrp folder. Then replace the su-modified boot file there with your original boot file, you obviously have to rename your boot image to fit the right name. (eg. with the logo image -> logo.bin changes to logo.emmc.win -> etc;.) Then use the twrp restore function to restore your "original" boot logo.
Hierarchy folder view would be like:
TWRP->folder 1 (original folder, in case something goes wrong)-> boot file and others
->folder 2 (our modified folder)-> files

FIY: Flashing regular boot.img files works just fine with "Install Image" in TWRP (of course, YMMV, depending on your device).

Happened with me also...i gues the only solution is you have to uninstall mafisk via magisk uninstaller and flash it once again via whatever recovery you are using...i am also using lineage os 15.1 but with RN4....

Happened to me as well. HTC u11, ViperU 1.8.0, Android 7.1.1, TWRP 3.2.2. Tried flashing it though TWRP got a bootloop. Had to revert back to my previous nan which luckily I made yesterday.

I attempted the same, now my galaxy s6 is in a boot loop

Look other posts in this section - you should flash latest uninstaller before Magisk v17 package. It seems that some residues from v16 prevent v17 from installing correctly.

I had to reflash stock (OTA sideload version, in stock recovery) via adb sideload. Essential phone. Wifi is working now, didn't lose any data.

I'm also having the issue on my OnePlus 5T. I was running v16.0, and when I tried to flash the v17.1 zip in TWRP like usual, but it said zip signature verification failed. I flashed the Magisk uninstaller zip and tried again, but still had the same problem. I've lost root, but all my data is still intact and it never had boot issues.

After using uninstaller in recovery, restart into recovery to flash v17

Do you update from 16.0? If Yes test following:
Download the seperate MagiskManager-v5.9.1.apk
Make sure that you adb is working, connect your phone to computer
Code:
adb devices
must show your phone, if not adb is not proper set
Code:
adb install MagiskManager-v5.9.1.apk
if you get a error message like
the sign with the installed apk has not matsched..aborted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the uninstaller not proper delete the old magisk manager
try
Code:
adb uninstall com.topjohnwu.magisk
the result must be an sucess
then again
Code:
adb install MagiskManager-v5.9.1.apk
result must also sucess
Reboot, voiala its done....
You see the Magisk Manager

Does anyone have a working solution?

1.download magisk 17.zip from inside magisk 16
2. uninstall magisk 16 (i do from inside, not twrp)
3. instal magisk 17.zip from twrp
4. open magisk 17 and get notification for downloaded magisk 17.apk
5. download and instal it,

How I recovered from this on a Pixel 2 XL
I'll chime in with my experience here, as it might save someone else a lot of time if they are at my skill level with this stuff (which is only moderate, I suppose, although I do always get things to work eventually!).
As of yesterday, I had a Pixel 2 XL, rooted with Magisk, and working great. This morning, during the middle of the night, Magisk innocently asks if I want to upgrade to a new version. I was very tired (in fact, I think I was sleeping when my phone buzzed to alert me of the upgrade message) and don't even know how I responded except that it was "yes" to the upgrade part. By the time I'd fully awakened, I had a phone that waw in a boot loop. I went back to sleep, figuring I'd have better luck looking at it after a little rest.
Getting out of the boot loop was easy: I just reinstalled the August 2018 factory image for the phone. However, getting Magisk reinstalled was an adventure. I saw posts that said I should run the Magisk uninstaller, but when I did it just said that Magisk was already uninstalled. And yet, whenever I tried to apply either v16.0 or v17.1, I got errors (error codes 1, 2, and 255 at different times).
Up until this event, I'd always upgraded Magisk by installing it via TWRP. However, that was not working, so I thought I needed to try patching the boot image, something I'd never done before. Because I'd never done it before, it took me a while to understand the steps, which are actually quite simple. This is where I'm hoping I might save someone some time. Basically, my fear was not knowing which file the "boot image" was. Seasoned Android veterans might get a chuckle out of this, and that's fine, but I was looking at the file in the factory image download and basically saw only two image files: bootloader-taimen-tmz20j.img and radio-taimen-g8998-00253-1805232234.img. I was trying to figure out if either of those could be the boot image, and they both seemed pretty big to be a boot image! Finally it dawned on me that the much larger file in the directory was a zip archive (named image-taimen-ppr1.180610.009.zip). I looked inside there, and sure enough, there was a rather small file named boot.img. I was pretty sure that was the "boot image" file!
Here's what I did after that, again just hoping to help anyone who finds themselves in the same predicament I was in: Magisk is broken, root isn't working, and I can't install any of the Magisk *.zip images via TWRP.
- First, I downloaded a copy of Magisk Manager: this version is named MagiskManager-v5.9.1.apk.
- Next, I ran a couple adb commands to send the Magisk Manager apk and the stock boot.img to my phone:
Code:
adb push MagiskManager-v5.9.1.apk /sdcard/Download
adb push boot.img /sdcard/Download
- Next, I installed /sdcard/Download/Magisk-Manager-v5.9.1.apk by nagivating to it (I use ES File Manager) and launching it from there.
- Next I opened Magisk Manager
- Magisk Manager detects that there is a newer version available and asks if I want to upgrade
- I said yes
- I told it that I wanted to patch a boot image
- I chose /sdcard/Download/boot.img as the "unpatched" (stock) boot image
- Magisk Manager churned away for maybe half a minute and then produced a new file called patched_boot.img, saved in the same directory as boot.img.
After that, all I had to do was run these commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot
As soon as the phone restarted, I opened Magisk Manager again and it verified that its upgrade was successful, and root began working for me again also.
Like I said, I hope this helps someone else. If not, it's probably good for me to just write it all out anyway.
Cheers,
Sky Captain

I too have a Pixel 2XL but had a much easier upgrade experience. I downloaded the latest version of Magisk files (3 files: MagiskManager-v5.9.1.apk, Magisk-uninstaller-20180901, and Magisk-v17.1 from here https://www.xda-developers.com/magisk-v17-1-android-pie-a-b-support/) and put them on my phone.
Rebooted into recovery TWRP run the Magisk-uninstaller-2018090 file, then ran Magisk-v17.1 rebooted and all worked (thanks to ALL the developers out there!!!)
I'm running rooted Pie (standard google Pie) with Rootchecker, 4.4.153-FlashKernal-Wahoo-v3.06, Greenify, AdAway, and of course Magisk 17.1.
Hope this helps.

If patch boot image is getting failed in magisk latest version v17.1 then enable storage permission for magisk app manually in Device/OS setting. Now patch boot image again, It will get patched successfully.

OK...im a relative newbie here...first post actually....but Im a bit stuck in a fastboot boot loop
LG G5 tmobile running fulmics
I decided to try this exact process to get my root back by updating Magisk
booted into TWRP through ADB
flashed uninstaller using TWRP
(cleared cache/dalvik)
flashed v 17.1 (not 17) using TWRP
(cleared cache/dalvik)
rebooted
now i'm stuck in fastboot bootloop….can reboot from fastboot but nothing else
any advice would be appreciated!
update: I am able to get to TWRP using reboot command and holding power and volume down. flashed uninstaller wiped cache/dalvik...rebooted into TWRP long way and then installed 17....still fastboot at startup again

Android 4.2 and 4.4 Mediatek bootloop after installing Magisk 18.1

Hello everybody.
I've read that 18.1 supports 4.2+ so I've tried to install in two MTK6589T devices I've. One running 4.2, the other running 4.4
CMW/TWRP gave an error mounting system, so I mounted system manually and it started flashing. Firstly it detected old root installed and disabled the old root. But when it tried to find the boot, installation was aborted because installator claims cannot find the boot on both phones.
Then I though, okay, lets reboot back to android, I will try to install a few days later, maybe its buggy now, but both phones cannot boot.
I can easily fix them by flashing rom again I guess, but I would like to know where's the issue and also post it for more people could face the same problem.
Any idea where's the problem/how to fix without rom reflashing? I've tried magisk uninstaller but after mounting system in recovery it is also giving error.
Thanks
UPDATE: For now, if no other solution is found, bootloop can be bypassed by dirty installing the rom again. But it has to be an easier workaround...
We know now that the problem is caused because of two factors merging:
1- Using Magisk.zip installer through custom recovery
2-In the case that the custom recovery CMW/TWRP installed in the phone is very old (for instance, CMW automade for MTK6589X or TWRP 2.5.0).
While installing, Magisk tries to send commands to the custom recovery that cant be understood by it, leaving the installation incomplete after some modifications in /system (read below recovery log).
Acording to the recovery, it seems that Magisk did some modifications without running correctly survival script - Adding addon.d survival script ("Unrecognized option '-Xnodex2oat'") and .zip installer is not designed to revert actions in this case.
Also, Magisk couldn't reach the boot modification step, so boot is not damaged, therefore workarounds for restoring boot won't work.
Using Magisk Unistaller.zip is also not possible as the uninstaller is mainly designed for boot backup restoration, and again, this is not the case.
Currently needed: Find what's wrong in system due to the incomplete Magisk installation to revert it back to the original state (before faulty magisk.zip installation).
Recovery log:

I' also having the same problem. My Samsung J2 Prime stuck at logo after updating to 18.1. Any tips on how to fix it without resetting my phone? Thanks.
Update: Bootloop fixed. I used TWRP to restore boot image. I then update Magisk by flashing zip file from TWRP. Everything went back to normal. Hope this help.

If you have a backup of your boot image, you can just restore it using TWRP. But in case that you have no backup of boot image, you can try to get boot image from the internet and restoring using it. In my case, this is what I did.
1. Go to TWRP and then make backup of boot image of the faulty phone*. (Folder 1)
2. I used another J2 prime to create a boot image backup. (Folder 2)
3. Once that is done, copy and replace the files inside the Folder 2 into Folder 1.
4. Reboot to TWRP again then use that to restore the boot image on my stuck J2.
Tips: make backup in SD card so you can easily swap it in between the bad and good phone.
*This is to create a folder of the backup file. I did tried to directly copy and paste the backup boot image file from another good phone but TWRP didn't detect it. So this is the workaround that I come with. And it worked for me.

Thanks for your answer but I doubt your case is mine. Your device is much newer than mine and according to your comment, you've sucesfully installed previous version of Magisk without issues. This is not a problem while updating, as Magisk v. earlier than 18.1 was not compatible with android 4.2+. I think Magisk is not compatible with MT6589T even if they run 4.2 or 4.4.
I think that it cannot be a boot problem as TWRP/CWM displayed msg 'Boot cannot be found' while installing Magisk, so that I don't think boot was replaced or modified in any ways. Moreover, the bootloop is not in the boot loading, as phone can pass boot image without any problem, but it is stuck in android loading image. I'm thinking in some script or root modification that Magisk did before trying to unpack the boot, however I'm not that deep into the Magisk install to find the proper workaround.
I can restore boot backup and also I can take boot file from the original rom and flash, because in Mediatek-based devices, boot.img is inside de zip, but I dont think it will solve the problem. Anyhow I'll get back ASAP with the answer.
Any more ideas??

Nothing, boot/uboot restoration or flashing again just the boot won't fix the problem, so it's something that Magisk installator touch in /system or /data I guess, but what?

Yes, I've read them before I made the post. I've also looked for a solution in some of the threads and using search, but couldn't find a way.

Here I attach recovery.log if someone is interested to see the detailed problem.
Also, here below I attach the lines concerning the installation. All other is uninstallation tries and so on:

@trol_sg I'm gonna guess it's got to do with the absolutely ancient TWRP you're using. It just can't handle everything that the Magisk installation script is trying to do...
Your best bet (if Magisk will work at all on your device) is to patch the boot image with the Magisk Manager and then flash the patched image manually. There are new and shiny installation instructions available here: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/

Thank you so much for your answer. So it's the recovery, but can't find newer ones, sadly. Too old phones I know, but just curious if I could make Magisk working on them, lol.
I was going into the boot modification manually right now, but in order to patch the boot I need manager installed first, and phone couldn't boot so I did dirty flash of the rom to be able to boot into it again.
Lets see what happens then. I'll be right back.
Anyhow, this is not a solution to fix the problem of bootloop that I am requesting help in case someone could face the same and did not make a backup of the phone and didn't want to make dirty re-flash. Any idea?
Update: After I did dirty flash of the rom, and now Jiayu g3s android 4.4 booted.

UPDATE: So, after patching manually boot and installing (using restore in TWRP 2.5 as image flash is not yet implemented AFAIK), phone booted and yes Magisk is working.
Magisk installation .zip through a very old recovery is making the bootloop. So that, a thing learnt now.
But, for other people facing this bootloop, can we do a research to find what magisk.zip did to the phones to leave them in bootloop? Maybe we can revert without rom flashing easily if we knew what's the issue...
Thanks in advance!

Doing a bit more tests I found that magisk.zip did something in /system so that it is left in bootloop, but still no idea why/whats causing that...

There are delay complete boot like 4 5 second in j7 prime. I didn't love this version

any more help?? up!!

- rebooted to system, all OK!
Only problem is that I lost previous magisk configuration, but it's a snap to reconfigure it!

Hello, thanks
This method won't work in my case as in the step:
- installed magisk uninstall = gives error
Note 5 is much newer phone with a recent recovery TWRP that allows all Magisk.zips commands, but unluckyly not this case.
Also, this method is for wrong boot installation/damaged boot. In my case what Magisk damage is /system, not boot.
I wish it could be boot, because that is very easy to fix (flashing through fastboot/SP Flash tools in the case of MTK, recovering boot twrp "backup" even if you didn't make backup...) as you mentioned.
Hope someone have a great idea to revert system to origin, then we could post the solution for those who would like to install Magisk in 4.2+ old phones, and instead of doing boot flash manually, they try to flash magisk.zip and they got bootloop.

Main post updated with all thread information. Up!

The only part of the Magisk installation that actually touches /system is if it installs the addon.d survival script. The log you posted earlier shows that it's trying to do this, for some reason, and failiing. I'd start looking there...

Is there a guide on updating to the newest firmware and Magisk

Fairly newbie user here. I'm looking for a guide that lists how to upgrade the P5 to a new firmware and keep Magisk and all of that. I've looked at the thread below and it is good for getting started up in the beginning, but I'm not following how it works for a new firmware.
[Tutorial] Unlock Bootloader, get root and valid Safetynet

forum.xda-developers.com
Like how do I flash the new February firmware onto my phone?
Do I then copy the boot.img to the P5 and patch it with Magisk?
Then do I copy the patched boot.img back to my PC and flash it back onto the P5?
Are there are new step or process for unlocking SafetyNet?
I'm just very confused and would appreciate something simple and basic to follow, please.
Thanks!

1. Download the rom, extract it and copy boot.img to phone, patch with magisk then copy the patched file to computer
2. Disable all magisk modules and reboot
3. Remove -w from flash-all.bat, copy all the files in the ROM to where the adb files are located, reboot to bootloader and run flash-all.bat
4. Reboot to bootloader and flash the patched boot image
5. Reboot and enable magisk modules
6. Reboot

You can bypass safetynet perfectly with hiddencore module for xposed.

This will work definitely fine. Don't mess with uninstalling Magisk as whole application, just disable the modules. Otherwise it will cause bootloops.
I also wonder, why I can not first patch the boot.img and insert the patched version back in the .zip archive and only have to flash then once with flash-all? So no rebooting and flashing of the boot.img would be needed? Does someone tried this? I was to tired because of slow internet and have had to reflash the january boot.img to quit my bootloops.
It would only timesaving and you may don't need to disable the magisk modules. that is my hope of doing this. Otherwise just follow cesmans posting.

I have tried few years ago, in some previous version of android, instead of running flash-all.bat, I flash each image individually, (fastboot flash bootloader..., fastboot flash boot..., fastboot flash recovery.... etc. ). If I took the shortcut of not flashing the original boot image first and then the patched one, but flash the patched boot directly, then the phone run into a bootloop.

1. Can I just do all of the file movement through Windows Explorer?

Sorry, I don't know and understand a lot of the commands and how you get it to work with the phone.

My friend, you can find a huge a mount of videos about it in youtube.
Adb is NOT for flashing.
Taken care or you can damage your device.
You need to READ and learn first, before to try anything.
If you try to search it, certainly you will find it.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I was able to follow the initial tutorial on how to setup my phone the first time, but it is well written out step by step. The other guides I've seen for upgrading just sort of breeze through the steps, assuming you know what you are doing.
My phone actually updated to the February release today, which broke my Magisk and lost me my Props configurations. I just want to get those things back.

Next time, don't flash the factory image. Sideload the OTA.zip instead. That way you won't lose any of that.
Sideload the OTA, flash the patched boot.img (the boot.img you need to get from the factory image though), and you won't lose Magisk, your modules, or your root settings.
I used to do the same. Edit out the -w flag from the flash-all and re- setup my phone. Sideloading the OTA is easier and quicker in the end.

1. Yes
3. Edit the flash-all.bat file with any editor, e.g. notepad in windows, you will see -w near the end of the file, remove it, then save and run the file. You must make sure the -w is removed, otherwise all the data will be wiped
4. To boot into bootloader: adb reboot bootloader
To flash the patched boot image: fastboot flash boot magisk_ patched.img (the file name changes every time, just use the one you have when you patch the boot image)

It's easier to replace the "-w" with "--skip-reboot" (first one is double dashes). The phone won't reboot when the image flashing is complete so you can immediately re-flash the patched boot img.
This youtube video is great to follow and has clear step by step guide.

Thanks for the help and tips everyone. I really appreciate it! I was able to get my phone updated and re-rooted.
The only issue I'm having now is that I can't use GPay for contactless payments. When I go to try and use GPay, i get a slashed out line through the contactless payment symbol. It doesn't let me do anything with it from there.
I am on the Feb update, with Magisk installed, and the Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.0.0 module installed. I also have the MagiskHide Props Config module loaded. I pass the SafetyNet Check, but I can't do contactless payments.
I have Magisk hidden from GPay as well.
Any thoughts?

Have you actually tried to use your phone at a pay terminal?
My device also passes safetynet but has contactless crossed out. However, it still works at payment terminals.

How To Guide Rooting the Mi 11 with the latest Xiaomi.eu ROM

EDIT: This is not for the TWRP version. I will update this thread soon!
Hello!
Since I saw a lot of people asking, I decided to post how to root a Mi 11 (as of 2021-02-11).
Install the Xiaomi.eu ROM. You can find more details in this post. Keep the ROM's files, you will need some of them!
Connect your phone to the PC and put it into file transfer mode.
Download Magisk Manager from the official GitHub repository and install the APK. DO NOT DOWNLOAD MAGISK MANAGER FROM ANYWHERE ELSE. THIS GITHUB REPOSITORY IS THE ONLY OFFICIAL, TRUSTED SOURCE.
In the directory you extracted the ROM zip file to, there's a directory called images. This directory contains a file called boot.img. Copy the boot.img to your phone's Download folder.
Open the Settings app, go to My Device, then tap MIUI Version until it says You are now a developer.
Go back to your Settings app and use the search bar to search for USB Debugging and enable it. Click on Yes when it asks whether you want to trust this computer.
Once the file is completely copied, open Magisk Manager on your phone. There will be 2 categories: Magisk and Manager. On the Magisk category, click on Install and choose Select and Patch a File. Navigate to your downloads and select boot.img. Click on Let's go.
When Magisk has finished patching your boot.img file, it will say Output file written to /storage/emulated/0/Download/magisk_patched_XXXXX.img, where XXXXX is 5 random letters/digits.
Open a command prompt on your computer and run adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched_XXXXX.img , replacing XXXXX with the random characters Magisk showed you earlier. This will copy the file to the directory you are currently in; on Windows, if you are using cmd, this will be C:\Users\[your username].
Reboot your phone into fastboot mode by turning it off, then holding the power and volume-down buttons until it vibrates.
Run the commands fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched_XXXXX.img and fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched_XXXXX.img (notice the difference: boot_a and boot_b). Don't forget to replace XXXXX with the random characters Magisk Manager generated. Run the command fastboot reboot and open the Magisk Manager app when your phone has finished rebooting. The app should say that it needs to install some other components; click yes and let it do its thing. It will reboot the phone, and after that, Magisk and therefore the root should be working!
When I first did this, my SafetyNet check failed. I fixed this by repeating all the steps, except that I updated the ROM instead of reinstalling it. You can update it even if it's the same version; it will just flash everything again. You may need to clear the cache of Google Play and reinstall Google Pay if the SafetyNet check initially failed.

Hi, I tryed fastboot oem unlock after alow it in developer settings but it says token verification failed.
It is my first Xiaomi, afert came from a OnePlus 5.
How can I manage to flash the boot image?

You do not need to use the OEM Unlock option in the developer options. Mine is still off even after I unlocked my bootloader. You need to use the Xiaomi Unlock Tool found at https://en.miui.com/unlock/ .
Before using this tool, you need to log in to you Mi account on your phone. Then, reboot the phone into fastboot mode, connect it to your PC, and use the unlock tool. It will tell you to wait 168 hours (1 week) before trying again. DO NOT RETRY BEFORE THE 168 HOURS ARE OVER OR THE TIMER RESETS! Even if you are a single minute early, it will reset the timer.
Once the week has passed, do this again and your phone will be unlocked. Warning: This will erase your data.
You should prepare the boot image BEFORE unlocking, because otherwise you will have to go through the phone's setup, install Magisk, patch the image, and wipe the phone again.
Another warning: Do not re-lock your bootloader. If the bootloader is re-locked with any ROM other than the one the phone shipped with installed, the phone gets bricked.

Thank you for the explanation.
I did everything as you said, now just need to wait for the painfully 168 hours...
Is there already a .zip to flash in order to disable encryption? Just to not risk losing my data in future updates.

If you use the Xiaomi.EU ROM, you can update without wiping your data. They give you 2 scripts - 1 for installing and 1 for updating.

Thanks for the write-up. Worked like a charm (Y)

Hi Lucavon,
Thx for the guide. I did it twice and after reboot and launch Magisk Manager I got no message asking that other components need to be installed. Did I miss something?

Magisk manager has changed a bit in version 22. It may no longer require this extra step. If everything works as expected, it should be fine.

Do you have magisk hide enabled?
If you do and you're checking safetynet status with a different app than magisk manager, you need to add it to hide.

Magisk hide is enabled too

SOLVED
- enable magiskhide
- download "magiskhide props config"
- use app like termux and follow steps :
* "su"
* "props"
* "1" (edit device fingerprint)
* "f" (pick a certified fingerprint)
* select your phone
* accept and reboot.
and now it work.

Hello,
I followed all the steps in the root guide. I also have root access. However, I do not have write access to the root directory. What I have done wrong? I have no more idea what it could be. Can someone help me?

After installing the Rom, the following error message appeared at the end.
fastboot: error: Cannot generate image for userdata

Idk if I was having and same issues, but for me on 3.31 xiaomi.eu I was having issues with the superuser prompt not appearing. I found it happened only when the magisk app was repackaged. Approving prompts while it was unhidden then hiding magisk worked great.

Edited

I use the root explorer, the root query also appears with Magisk. But I still don't get write access to the root directory. I originally had the Global Rom V12.0.4.0.RKBMIXM on it. After the bootloader was open, I flashed the Rom Version xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11_21.3.31_v12-11-fastboot. The following error message occurred at the end of the flash process. fastboot: error: Cannot generate image for userdata I am currently assuming that the problem with root has something to do with it. I have already tried the Version xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11_V12.5.1.0.RKBCNXM_v12-11-fastboot. The result is the same... fastboot: error: Cannot generate image for userdata and no write permissions in the root directory ...
