I have the latest hydrogen OS and unlocked bootloader , and i want to root my phone but i just wants to know if theres any other files I need to flash other than magisk.zip
Nope, just flash the latest magisk zip and it's done. But yes, you also have to install the Magisk Manager when you boot up after flashing the zip.
I installed the latest one that came out today and my phone took a crap! Phone became very laggy and would freeze and sometimes not even detect root. I had to restore my phone back to last weeks version.

Hm... Absolutely no issues on my OP3T, OOS 4.1.6 and Franco Kernel r25 with Magisk v13.1. Maybe you have a module causing issues (long shot, I know)?
No issues here with Open Beta 10, Stock Kernel, Magisk 13.1 and Manager 5.0.4.
Root is working, passes SafetyNet with all modules activated and properly hide root from my Banking App. All good!

Just Simple flash the Magisk v13.1 and install the latest magisk manager v5.0.4.
I feel you should flash magisk immediately, while flashing the ROM through custom recovery. Install magisk manager after first boot.
You can do a dirty flash without formatting anything to get rooted.

I've let the MagiskManager upgrade Magisk from 14.x to 1.50. Then I rebooted the phone, and then it was stuck at the pulsating SAMSUNG logo.
So, next step would be obvious: get into TWRP and install Magisk 14.0.
And so I did, and so it failed. This time I got a bootloop. The "Galaxy S7 powered by Android" thing appears for a few seconds, and then vibrates and starts over. And over, and over, and over.
So then, I "installed" the Magisk Uninstaller. Thinking to get rid of all traces of Magisk that introduced this problem in the first place.
So I did, and now I'm back at the first problem: stuck at booting.
Then installing Magisk 14 AND wiping cache&dalvik: boot loop
Then I installed the uninstaller again, then Magisk 15, and wipe the cache&dalvik. And it's back at being stuck while booting again.
Brilliant. What do I do to fix this?
Are you using a custom ROM, or a port ROM, or a custom kernel?
It's all stock, except for it being rooted.
I'm having the same issue. Canadian S7 W8, Stock ROM with root, Magisk 14, upgraded to 15 using direct install through magisk manager.
Yes, exactly that. No offense, but that's helping neither yourself nor me nor anyone else. Have you been able to figure anything out?
Maybe how to produce some kind of log output?...
Same thing happened to me just now. Never would have thought that upgrading through the Magisk app would cause this. I've tried all of the above and have also tried installing v 12.0 but still no dice.
I even tried a factory reset and still no dice. This is seriously infuriating.
Guess I will have to reflash everything and start fresh. If anyone else has any other ideas I'm all ears.
I'd like to know what the phone is actually *doing* when it's stuck. How can we get to know this?
`fastboot logcat` and `adb logcat` both keep waiting for a device that will not connect. Something does connect, christ knows what, but certainly no adb or fastboot device.
@fattyspecial
"reflash everything and start fresh" can you explain what exactly this comprises? What should I do?

Mate 8 running 7.0 stock except rooted, running Magisk 14, did the same thing and I'm in the same boat. Have also tried removing magisk, reinstalling 14 no dice. Have not factory reset yet (trying everything else before that step) but it looks like it won't help.

Completely reflash the entire stock rom with ODIN and then re-root and reconfigure my entire phone. About the biggest bother imaginable.
I'm trying to re-flash only a new boot.img (or new kernel) through twrp right now. If I can get that to work I'll let you know right away.

FIXED IT!
Ok here's what I did. Maybe not a perfect solution but I am out of bootloop and phone is working and root is working too.
I had to install a custom kernel. I'm guessing this replaces the corrupted boot.img file. So you will need to be rooted and have a custom recovery like TWRP.
Go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/kernel-tgpkernel-t3462897 and scroll down to the part that says: DOWNLOAD VIA ANDROIDFILEHOST for N version and download the zip file.
Transfer the TGPKernel zip to your external SD card (either with android file transfer if on mac like me or with an SD card reader).
Flash the zip in TWRP.
It will take a LONG time to reboot. Don't worry.
I chose to install root with Magisk and it ended up updating it to v15.0 and so far everything seems to be working well.
Hope this helps. That took a long time to figure out. Time for bed.
Ok, I'm still not in that loop... yet.
Ok, I'm still not in that loop... yet.
I selected installing the 15.0 Magisk zip file (from 14.0) using direct install, then did the reboot and I'm stuck at the pulsating SAMSUNG logo.
Can I do the same fix of fattyspecial without loosing anything on the S7?
I did the exact Magisk 15.0 zip update on my LG Nexus 5, with no problem, in less than a minute.
I'm still not in that loop... yet.

If you can' t solve download Magisk Uninstaller https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4370032&d=1514240372
and Magisk 14.0 https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4264532&d=1504713887
Then reboot in Twrp (hope you have it) and flash
1 uninstaller
2 14.0
I had the magisk 14.5 and I installed the 15 via twrp on top, and it updated normal. Is there a problem updating this way?
@fattyspecial
I don't see why installing a custom kernel is a viable fix. Or a good idea. It seems random.
Maybe you can explain why this is a fix, and how the stock kernel makes the phone bootloop?
@Tribal123
I think you will find I've already tried it. I appreciate your contribution, but please do read my topic start.
Same here, updated from v14 to v15 and got a nice bootloop.
Huawei Mate 8 with Nougat (stock) and TWRP.
EDIT:
Solved!
Flashed my stock boot.img backup through TWRP, then booted my phone and downloaded v14, flashed v14 through TWRP, booted my phone again and downloaded v15 with Magisk Manager app and checked "Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity" and then tapped "Install" using "Direct Install (recommended)"

Because a custom kernel disables dm-verity. There's an issue, mainly on Samsung devices, with the dm-verity detection in Magisk v15.0. It's under investigation...
Meanwhile, flash a dm-verity disabler together with Magisk v15.0 and you should be good to go.
I'm fairly certain you need a custom kernel. I'm also on the S7 and without one I've always boot looped, I think it has to do with dm-verity.
EDIT: I didn't notice there was a second page so I guess I didn't really say anything new, oh well, sorry!

Hello,
Here is the problem I personnaly had (solved now !) :
Initially, my wife had a G930F (samsung galaxy S7) and a Custom 7.0 rom (i think it was the "AlexNDR.G930FXXU2DRAG" rom...but I'm not sure at all because it was installed several months ago or even years) with TWRP as recovery and Magisk as root.
I saw that Magisk not working (since when ? I don't know because it was not my phone). So, I tried to update it via the Magisk application (the initial goal was to use then Titanium Backup).
Logically, the phone then rebooted to install the Magisk update... except that a Boot Loop appeared.
I then tried many things :
1° Downgrade or Upgrade the TWRP recovery to 3.0.0.0; to 3.2.2.0 and to 3.5.2.9.0 (thes recovery .img files are here: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/herolte/)
=> It didn't work, and the bootloop continued (but, at the end, i keep the TWRP v.3.5.2.9.0)
2° I tried to uninstall and reinstall Magisk
(cf. the "Custom Recovery" tuto here : https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root)
=> Failure. Still the BootLoop... (either with the .zip v19.1 or the .zip v23)
nb: I even tried to donwload other magisk files but still the same bootloop (cf.https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/collection-of-magisk-modules-v2.3575758/page-13#post-72542167)
4° I tried to change the kernel by using TGPKernel (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...2-30-tgpkernel-v6-15-5-3-18-140-esd2.3462897/)
=> Failure, the bootloop remained...
5° Finally, I found a solution :
a° I downloaded the rom "G930FXXU2DRAG_DevBase_v4.6.zip" (via the following tutorial here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...vbase-v7-4-encryption-support-jul-10.3592914/)
, more exactly at the following location : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850489124
b° Then, as indicated in the tuto (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...vbase-v7-4-encryption-support-jul-10.3592914/), I renamed the .zip downloaded on my PC to "G930FXXU2DRAG_DevBase_v4.6_rescue.zip" (ps: so, i add "..._rescue.zip)
c° After that, I copied the file "G930FXXU2DRAG_DevBase_v4.6_rescue.zip" on my micro SD.
d° In the recovery I finally installed the file "G930FXXU2DRAG_DevBase_v4.6_rescue.zip" and the phone restarted after a long time (or maybe 5 minutes, I didn't watch).
=> End of the bootloop and all data was preserved!!!
I've just gotten my new fi Motorola x4 running Android 8.1.0 today. I've unlocked the boot loader via Motorola and I've rooted the device via Magisk. Since I had the Xposed framework on my old phone and loved some of the modules I wanted it on my new phone. Downloaded the Xposed Installed from the playstore, gave it root access with Magisk and attempted to install the framework. Phone is now stuck in a bootloop and it's been alternating between the androidone and motorola screens for about 45 minutes.
I tried to flash xposed-uninstaller-20180117-arm64.zip but got an error that it couldn't mount /system. Another page on the net had me holding down the power button and then spamming it ten times to tell Xposed no to load but that didn't seem to do anything at all. I created a disabled file as suggested on some sites but that did nothing to stop the bootloop:
touch /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/disabled
I actually had to make the /conf directory manually since it wasn't there. Wiped the cache with no better results. Factory reset did nothing to improve the situation and I was unsuccessful with sideloading the Xposed disabler found here:
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/xposed-101-temporarily-disable-xposed-fix-bootloop-0179446/
It's hard for me to grasp how a completely empty barebones android phone which has only been rooted using Magisk with no other actions taken or software installed can be be stuck in a bootloop trying to perform a standard install using the Xposed installer. Not sure you can find a cleaner environment than the one on my phone.
Anyway if anyone has thought I'd love to hear them. I can boot to TWRP without issue and my phone is visible to both fastboot and adb.
Thank you!
Laugh this is just getting worse. I uninstalled Magisk and now the phone boots straight into recovery whenever I restart it. I'd flash a stock rom but I can't find one. I think I'm in trouble...
Reinstalled Magisk and it at least tries to boot up again but it just loops.

In summary:
Step 1: Download the flasheable zip file from the Magisk module uninstaller from the following link to the PC
Step 2: Send the zip file to the SD card of the phones or to the internal memory using MTP (most of the recovery of TWRP is compatible with this method)
Step 3: Now, touch the Install button and choose the Zip file of the uninstaller of the Magisk module that you want to update.
Step 4: After the completion of the installation. Go back to the TWRP home page.
Step 5: Tap the advanced option from the TWRP homepage. Choose the terminal option now.
Step 6: Type uninmod in the terminal box and touch the input button.
Step 7: Now, you can see the list of Modules and you have to type the Number you want to uninstall (Check the screenshot below)
Step 8: Finally, the magisk module will be completely uninstalled.

Ok good, I got scared for you a bit there, my post was not meant to be mean spirited but maybe you read it as such. As far as the bootloop i'm afraid i'll be no help.
Phone Model no : Samsung Galaxy S6 / SM-G920F
Security patch date: 01.10.2017
Android version: 7.0
Root status: Yes
Hey guys,
I rooted my phone several weeks ago for the first time via odin and everything went fine. I installed TWRP and Magisk and everything worked out.
Today I was trying to update Magisk from v20.x to v21.x with the inapp option, but now im stuck in a bootloop to download mode, screen says "Downloading... do not turn off target".
Even if I turn the phone off with Power + Home + Vol Down its just restarting right away and getting stuck in the same screen again.
Im still able to enter TWRP Recovery, but I dont know what to do to end the download mode problem when trying to start the phone.
I actually dont know/understand much about that stuff, so I dont know which other info I need to provide.
Is there something I could do without going through the whole flash/root process again?
should i try to delete magisk and install it again? if yes, how do i do it?
Help would be appreciated.

I don't know much about your device but if you can enter TWRP, it's not that bad. First what you can try is to download Magisk uninstaller and flash it in TWRP from USB. However, I don't know what can you do to update Magisk safely. Would be best if you can check your device forum or ask the question there

Looked like my device forum is pretty dead, which is why I asked the question here again. Thanks for the fast respone
Its probably not possible to just install a Magisk version again and overwrite the current one, probably need to uninstall first and then install it again?
There is a Magisk Module Uninstaller and a Magisk Uninstaller. Are those different things or just the same?
How to Uninstall Magisk Module Using TWRP Recovery | MagiskRoot
Uninstall Magisk Module using TWRP Recovery or Offline whenever you stuck into bootloop. Magisk Module Uninstaller and Magisk Manager for Recovery methods.
magiskroot.net
How to Uninstall Magisk From Android [2 Easiest Method]
Are you facing issues with Magisk? You can uninstall magisk from your phone with these simple and easy steps.
magiskmanager.com
Because the 2nd guide says in the end
Keep in Mind – Whenever you use TWRP as a method to uninstall Magisk, it is imperative to flash the Magisk Module Uninstaller Zip onto your device.
Does this mean I need to do the magisk module one first?
@n00btuber Do not trust those websites. They're in no way official and are just trying to get adc revenue from Magisk's popularity. If you're really unlucky they'll also provide you with malicious zips...
Only download stuff from John's GitHub:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk
If you need to uninstall Magisk use the uninstall zips from the above linked Github repo, and if you need to uninstall modules (but those will also be removed by the Magisk uninstaller) you can do that directly from TWRP:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/Magisk#hn_Uninstalldeletedisable_modules_from_recovery
A lot of times you can just flash another Magisk version over your installed one, but there are times where you do need to uninstall first. Since you have TWRP it can't really hurt to just try flashing whatever Magisk zip you want and it it doesn't work you can just use the uninstaller first.
One other thing to try would be the Canary release, mainly to see if you're affected by any bugs that is present in the current stable release but has been fixed upstream. You'll find the Canary app in the same Github link above.

Ok.
Was trying to use the uninstaller from his GitHub.
Trying to flash it leads to
"Updater process ended with ERROR:1
Error installing Zip file .....
Updating partition details"
So what to do now?
Trying to just flash any Magisk version to overwrite the current one leads to the same result.
I think it says Unsupported/Unknown image format
Your TWRP might be bugged/incompatible. I'd reflash your stock boot image and then patch the file manually (you'll find the instructions for that on GitHub as well).

However, whats my stock boot image and how to reflash it? Cant find a guide for that on GitHub.
Would a Factory Reset wipe all Magisk stuff and my TWRP Partition as well?
Does anyone know what is going on between Magisk and Google? It seems Google has removed Magisk Manager from the Play Store AGAIN! What's more, I downloaded and installed the apk but when I try to use it to install the latest Magisk the install fails. Tried installing the Magisk zip via TWRP, and while it doesn't show any errors, I still don't have root.
Ok I really need some more help @Didgeridoohan
Meanwhile I tried to reinstall TWRP from within TWRP. There was no error so I think it should have worked, but didnt solve the problem.
As soon as I try to boot the system it directly boots download mode and gets stuck in it. The volume buttons wont work or do anything as they are supposed in download mode.
Im still able to get into TWRP, but I still dont know what to do to stop this crashed download mode that starts over and over again.
When trying to flash the magisk uninstall it states "cannot access /data", when trying to flash a magisk installer it states "unsupported/unknown image format"
I dont care about Magisk right now though, I can root and install magisk again as soon as im able to clear the download mode problem. I was just trying this because trying to update magisk from within magisk manager has caused this download mode problem to appear.
Just tell me please how to fix that or how to factory reset my phone so it is able to boot regular again.
Thank you

Sounds to me like you need to reflash your ROM, not TWRP. According to your OP, you're running Android 7, but it doesn't say if it is stock or a custom ROM.. If it is stock, then use Frija.exe to download the ROM and then flash th AP, BL and HOME_CSC md5 files with Odin. If it is a custom ROM, use TWRP to flash the ROM and gapps. DO NOT try to flash Magisk. Right now there seems to be a problem with Google disabling Magisk. Wait till it is resolved before attempting to get root.
@n00btuber Dirty flashing your ROM is most likely the way to go, just like described above.
But @lewmur, what do you mean by "Google disabling Magisk"? If you're talking about SafetyNet there are ways around that (and it doesn't affect root)...

I not talking about safety net. Look in Play Store for Magisk Manager. It is no longer there. And even if you download and install the apk, it won't install Magisk. Flashing Magisk from TWRP doesn't give root privileges. This just happened yesterday.

The Magisk Manager hasn't been on the Play Store for years... Edit: reference - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-the-magic-mask-for-android.3473445/post-72508849
Nothing of what you describe has anything to do with Google "disabling Magisk".

That 's my mistake. Play Store would put up a lot of "Magisk Manager" stuff, but I never really tried any of it because flashing Magisk would give me the Manager. But even that "stuff" no longer shows up.
Butt Magisk Manager still won't install Magisk. It will download the zip file, but when it attemps to install it, it get an error saying Unsupported/Unknown image format. If I flash it from TWRP, and then open Magisk Manager, it still says N/A under Installed for Magisk.

That will be an incompatibility between Magisk and your device and has nothing to do with Google (blame your OEM for doing weird stuff instead).
Thanks for the help guys, had to flash the ROM, now its working again.
I use a Huawei Enjoy 7 Plus (CMCC, model TRT-TL10A) with EMUI 5.1.3 (Android 7.0). I got my phone unlocked, flashed (a modded version of) TWRP 3.1.1, and then Magisk v23.0 at first. However, my phone bootlooped. Switching to Canary (23001) doesn't help either, probably because its changelog shows that it has no difference to the existing Magisk v23.
So I wanted to open an issue about this on the Magisk GitHub repo. However, it asked me to provide dmesg data, but I have no idea on how to do such a thing when my phone is unable to start up.
Please tell me how to do this. If there is any workaround with the bootloop issue, please let me know. Thanks.

Don't know how to pull it. But to fix your situation. Flash the stock boot img via fastboot. Remove magisk app. Install canary then repatch your boot img via magisk then flash the patched boot.img through twrp or fastboot
I would try to gain root before flashing twrp. Then you know where the issue lies
