Hey, all!
Had a notification this morning for the new Magisk Manager (6.1) and Magisk (18.0) release. I downloaded both and rebooted the phone (OnePlus 2), updating from 17.3 to 18.0 directly, which had no errors during the install. Now upon startup it hangs on the splash screen. I can get into recovery (TWRP) and I have tried to flash the latest Magisk Uninstaller but I'm greeted with an ERROR 1: Error Installing zip file '/sdcard/...' - Unable to unpack boot.img
Any help here? Thanks in advance!

You can do dirty flash of your current ROM. That would simply replace the boot.img back to normal and then you can try flashing Magisk v18.0 again (if you want to)

Thanks for the response, just about to do a dirty flash of the stock ROM. My memory doesn't serve me well, is it best to wipe Cache as well as Dalvik Cache, or just Dalvik Cache?
The recovery also stays as is, right?
Hello,
The same for me from 17.3 to 18.
I'm on Nexus 6 with stock ROM.

Yep the recovery should stay as it is. I would recommend wiping both Dalvik Cache & Cache. Also, do keep fastboot handy. TWRP survival really depends on the device. For my device (OnePlus 3T), the OOS overrides TWRP if no root solution is used or patched boot.img isn't used.

Weird :/
Did you check the Magisk release thread for people facing similar issues? I'm still on v17.3.
I'm really reluctant to move to v18.0 after reading such things... Moreover, I always wait for feedbacks before trying out things that play with the boot.img's & stuff, because I already got /data partition of my last device corrupted [emoji52]

Alrighty! Just went ahead and did the flash and it successfully reboots! Tried to reboot into recovery to flash Magisk 17.3 and lo and behold TWRP is still there
Guess I'll wait until there has been an update or patch of some sorts if @StreamingMT is also getting this issue, maybe there are others too. Thanks for the help @DarkSJ1998
I will try to remember that @DarkSJ1998.
I was excited to have a new update, just got reckless...
Anyways, I replied to the official thread about the details, just search through it. I just restored my phone to the way it used to...
All my saves... Gone to trash.

I had the same bootloop issue when I was reinstalling H2OS beta 21 in my OnePlus 5 today. I got it to boot again with Magisk 18.0 after:
1. Dirty flashing ROM. Now this is important Did not flash Magisk (yet).
2. Rebooting to Bootloader (fastboot) in TWRP (since no root, now stock recovery will reinstall).
3. Fastboot flashed TWRP. Booted to Recovery mode from Fastboot menu.
4. Flashed Magisk 18.0 in TWRP. Now this is important Only flashed Magisk, nothing else.
5. Rebooted to Recovery again instead of System to flash other stuff.
6. Rebooted system.
If course YMMV. The important thing was to not try to flash Magisk while flashing ROM.
Same here on a mi max 2, updated manager and magisk directly from app, now stuck in bootloop. im downloading my rom as im typing to restore stock boot image. will flash v17.1 instead.
I have 1 plus 5 with official H2OS and Magisk 17.1.
Today when after installed Magick 18 and reboot, it stuck at startup.
I try to flash TWRP using adb, but it give me error:
E:\Program Files\Android\platform-tools>adb reboot bootloader
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
error: device unauthorized.
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

Try 'Revoking USB Debugging' and restart the adb server. Then reinstate its authorization by plugging it back in with USB Debugging enabled. And just to check, make sure you run cmd as administrator, and ensure MTP is on.

Try flashing the uninstaller which you can get here. Then reinstall/reflash Magisk with a previous version that worked for you.

I guess it's possible, but I'm not sure about that.... You can backup/restore boot.img from TWRP but I don't know if you can do this also... Do check it on the Internet.

Actually, Magisk does a backup of stock boot.img before patching it, which lies stored in /data as ".img.gz.zip". Haven't looked for how to restore it yet; however, assuming it's a flashable zip, it can be restored via TWRP. Should check Magisk release OP to be sure...

Doesn't look like a flashable zip too me. It stores a *.img file in it, which I think is flashable as an image from TWRP. But, I'm not 100% sure about it.

Hello, I do this with my Nexus 6, it's OK. Flash again Magisk (v17 not 18 for me) and all is OK for me.
Boot loop for me too after upgrading from v17 to v18 . I'm on Nexus 6. Any official information about this bug?
Fixed by installing TWRP then restored backup through TWRP and selected only boot image. I guess TWRP or me saved backup at some point, don't remember exactly. Will have to use v17 for now.
Here you can find latest boot image for OnePlus7 Pro rooted with Magisk.
ROM:
OnePlus7ProOxygen_21.E.13_OTA_013_all_1907050211_b8852b6

As of OOS 9.5.10 you can boot twrp by fastboot, then sideload twrp into both slots and finally flash magisk which patches the boot.img itself. Thus no need for patched boot.img anymore.
Does this work for the global version??
Patched boot.img is a silly way of rooting... If someone uses the wrong boot.img for their version it will fail to boot. Plus, booting TWRP and flashing the magisk zip is faster and more reliable

The only difference between the global and the EU versions are supposed to be the LTE bands.

I get still offered OTAs by the system. However I prefer to use Oxygen Updater app from Play Store to download it and flash directly in TWRP.

Oh cool. So like "dirty flashing". Will magisk also get killed in the proccess? I'm not sure how A/B partitions work. Do you just install magisk from twrp or do you have to somehow install it on both partitions?

I seem to have lost my root after I did the update for 9.5.11 this morning
Here is what I did
I did as stated
Download update, Install, DO NOT REBOOT
Went to Magisk, unistalled all modules, then did OTA Install
Rebooted
Went to Magisk installed TWRP, but my phone froze at that point and the screen turned all white and just sat there
So I clicked on the power button and rebooted
Got back into my phone and checked to see if I was still rooted via root checker app and now it says I AM NOT ROOTED
What can I do to fix this I can launch Magisk, but now it says its is not installed on the screen, so I click install, download the ZIP option
It says Select Method, Download ZIP ONLY which I did or Select and Patch a File which I am not sure what file I need to use?
How can I get my root back on the phones
I am on NOW on 9.5.11 GM 1917
Thanks all

If you don't need TWRP, first booting it and flashing the zip takes way longer than "fastboot flash boot boot.img".
So over the last day or 2 I've tried flashing the twrp recovery image. It flashes fine and reboots and loads the twrp recovery. However nothing works after that like it hangs and the touch screen is inop. How do I get past this? I have flashed the latest twrp for 52.0.A. 8.131 and phone is on the stock firmware also.
Just trying to get to the stage of installing the magisk root software. I've heard also people having issues with certain versions of magisk on Sony phones to? Is this fixed in the latest version?
Is there anything else I should be doing? Is the xz3 able to be rooted on the latest software released by Sony as of August update

I didn't got bug reports to fix something in this direction.
Touch doesn't work in the android system?
And it hangs?
Or what hangs where?
Yes, you either need to use magisk 18.1 or the newest canary should work too.

Well it's like it hangs as it loads the Sony logo and then boots into twrp but nothing happens when touching the touch screen or using the side volume buttons apart from showing the twrp boot logo.
What's the full process of flashing twrp to the device? Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I did see some people have had to connect a mouse to there phone to operate twrp?
Sorry for the confusion. I'm not sure if it's the way I'm doing it or if there is a issue with twrp on the xz3 on the latest Sony firmware. I've done a few roots before as I have a tablet install in my car as well as rooting a previous xperia phone but the latest android 9 seems harder to crack.

Managed to get it working, however once all installed it asks to update the magisk app to 19.3 which I have done however it is now stuck in a bootloop where it loads Sony and powered by android and then reboots every time.
What's the fix for this?
So far I've fixed it by reinstalling the previous version through twrp. Is there issues with magisk 19.3?
Alos now in the magisk manager I have the manager showing up to date(7.3.2) but magisk is showing not installed only able to install magisk 19.3?
Please either use magisk 18.1 or the newest canary
Or switch to a custom ROM. [emoji14]

For some reason I can't seem to get magisk 18.1 back on now after the update. I'm guessing I'll have to do a clean install again. The magisk manager is fine but magisk doesn't shown as installed. Is there a fix for this or will a clean stock flash work? Or is there a way to flash a new boot.img?
Is this also a known issue when updating magisk?

You can flash the magisk uninstaller first
Or the firmware
Or the boot.sin from the firmware folder
It's a known issue for the xperias from sony
The developer said that a working magisk before was an accident and since he used an official way it wasn't working anymore correctly
And then it seems in 19.4/canary fixed er the xperia specific issue.

Tried the magisk uninstaller but every time I do it comes up with error 1 and then never installs.
The flash boot.sin sounds a easy fix, I will try that and see. If not looks like a full firmware reinstall is on the cards. I'll stick with 18.1 when I do as that seemed to work until I updated. I'll wait till a stable release of 19.4 is released.
Many thanks for your help so far Martin.

Managed to reflash the beta 19.3 zip for magisk then restart, flashed the uninstaller which worked and then reinstalled magisk which is now working again.
Is it safe to update the manager app from 7.0.0 to 7.3. 2 and leave the magisk version at 18.1?

Can you share the link please? I visited your profile but did not found the that thread how to flash my sony xz3 using TWRP.
Hi all, as the title implies, I'm a newbie to all this. I tried to root my phone using an online guide on how to root xiaomi mi 9 using TWRP and Magisk. I faced some problems but eventually everything was done as the tutorial said.
Here are the exact steps I've done...
- unlocked the phone via Mi unlocking tool
- started fastboot and installed TWRP 3.3.1-0 ( I installed a version first that didn't start when I pressed both power and volume up, then installed the 331-0 version that worked)
- inside TWRP i installed Magisk 20.4
- The phone restarted but never reach the system. It hangs for sometime on android screen then restarts again and then brings me again to TWRP
I spent quiet sometimes reading online solutions but nothing worked for me...
I tried installing Magisk uninstaller.zip nothing changed. tried wiping cache. Tried installing magisk 20 and 20.3
some solutions recommended installing Magisk 19 0r 17 but they both ended up with error for me.
Please help. I'm on Android 10 with MIUI 11
Never had any problems with magisk What TWRP version have you used?
The steps are the same:
-Unlocked phone.
-TWRP.
-Flash magisk zip (you can install magisk manager, then download latest official magisk zip from it and then flash downloaded zip from TWRP).
-reboot.
Anyway you can fix your system by:
-wipe cache/dalvik.
-FORMAT data (with yes).
I don't think you need this 2 first steps for flashing fastboot ROM but it won't hurt.
-Flash official fastboot ROM in fastboot mod, using mi flash tool or included batch/bash scripts (don't lock your device if you don't want to, choose the right option when you flash, with or without "lock").
Mi 9 Fastboot V11.0.5.0.QFAMIXM Global
Mi 9 Fastboot V11.0.8.0.QFAEUXM EEA
You will loose all your data, apps and settings.
Thanks for your help mate...
I'm using this TWRP version..
----//dl.twrp.me/cepheus/
Strangely enough, my phone started after flashing Magisk-uninstaller-20191011.zip I'm sure i tried this before and it doesn't work.
Anyway, all my app and data are gone. I still want to root though, can you help me? what version of TWRP and Magisk i should use?

I would try flash latest fastboot ROM as i said before it will reflash almost everything And then flash magisk by installing magisk manager and download latest magisk zip through it and flash it with twrp-3.3.1-62-cepheus-mauronofrio TWRP
Sometimes first flash of TWRP don't work, just flash it ones more by fastboot flash twrp twrp-3.3.1-62-cepheus-mauronofrio.img from your pc.
I tried to root my device with this instruction: https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2/how-to/root-howto-t4011357
But I don't installed Manager.apk first. That might cause. But I don't know cause clearly, device was in boot loop.
I tried flash vbmeta and boot etc. but hadn't got luck.
Finally successfully turned on with stock ROM and then installed custom ROM and rooted.
My model is Euro RMX1993(EX)
Here is the what I did:
1. Installed Fastboot flashable ROM with fastboot.
2. Downloaded RMX1993EX_11.C.05 from https://www.realme.com/eu/support/software-update and installed it with TWRP
3. Cleaned cache/Dalwik, Format and Rebooted to system. Finally it's successfully booted up. :victory:
Then I installed Lineage OS with instruction step by step. After turned up phone I downloaded and installed Magisk manger apk from
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/manager-v7.5.1
Then I rebooted to TWRP recovery again and installed Magisk zip.
Then directly rebooted to System. This time it's booted and root was success. Didn't installed touched vbmeta etc.
I hope it might help someone. It was very long road about 24 hours for me.
Update:
I reinstalled stock ROM and installed apk before flashed twrp &vbmeta. This time it's worked and finally I successfully rooted stock ROM.
Didn´t faced this like you. I installed LOS from RUI and Magisk on the guided way without issues (I have RMX1993 also). What´s your ctsProfile status in magisk? False or true?

Now it's working well. How could I show ctsProfile. I tried terminal emulator and su to get root access. Then did props command. But it doesn't seem to there.

In Magisk Manager you have to "Tap to start SafetyNet check".
Oh I see. Thanks. It's ctsProfile: true. (Now I'm on stock rom with root)

I don't have RMX1993(EX) anymore. But below might help you.
If you are on ColorOS (Android 9) or RUI1 (Android 10) then you can directly follow the bootloader unlock tutorials on the internet. But if you are on RUI2 (Android 11) then you need to downgrade to RUI1 first.
I also did the same procedure.
But below is for RMX1901CN Realme X device procedure. I believe it would give you a hint.
1. I found Rollback_RMX1901_11_OTA_1190_all_EyyIUd8KYxPI.ozip (for Chinese version) firmware from Realme X Official Telegram group.
2. Then I opened it from the file manager and the device rebooted automatically and the downgrade firmware was installed. After that, I unlocked it with the DeepTesting app for RUI1 with instructions that I found on the internet.
