Good evening from Spain.
I tried to flash Magisk onto my SM-J530F (Samsung Galaxy J5 2017) but not successfully.
Here's the log:

Consider that I did the following:
- Flashed stock rom (J530FXXU2ARB3_J530FPHE2ARB3_PHE.zip content)
- Flashed "CF-Auto-Root-j5y17lte-j5y17ltexx-smj530f.tar" in Download mode via Odin, to root and install SuperSU, since it's needed
for flashing TWRP to avoid any bootloop.
- Flashed TWRP.
- Since I already have TWRP, I tried to uninstall SuperSU from the very app, in Options > Full unroot but gave "Uninstallation error", so then I tried to uninstall SuperSU by flashing "UPDATE-unSU.zip" on TWRP.
- Once that is done, I tried to flash "Magisk-v16.0.zip" and it throwed the log I've above mentioned.
- Since it says: "! Boot image patched by other programs.
! Please restore stock boot image", I rebooted it onto Download Mode, and flashed ONLY the BL (bootloader/boot) slot. Came back to TWRP, I flashed again "Magisk-v16.0.zip" but still have the same problem.
Hope there's any solution to install Magisk onto my SM-J530F. Thank you.
Your issue is that the boot image still is patched by SuperSU. Until you restore the stock boot image you won't be able to install Magisk.

Edit: I don't do Samsung, but from what I remember, you might need to flash AP (or something like that).

Thank you very much.
EDIT: Despite this problem: "Failed to mount '/system' (Device or resource busy)", your solution was correct! Now I have Magisk correctly installed.
Thank you
Nice to hear it worked. Just for the record, the "Failed to mount /system" message is a TWRP thingy. The Magisk installation is done at the "-Done" line.
Hi, I have the same problem of error 1 while trying to install Magisk from TWRP.
I looked everywere and they say that it is related to a boot image that have to be reinstalled. I did that and no luck, I tryed with boot.img, no working, I even restored ALL the ROM Stock from Samsung ( AP, BL, CP and CSC) and it is not working. I dont know what to do anyware...
Regeet the time was easy to root Samsung with CF autoRoot,
I tried that and ask me to restore all thephone, so still no root??
Some can help please??
Thx

The log is just a text file. Did you check the link I posted? In TWRP: Advanced - Copy log, and then post the resulting file.

That would work, but you should be able to open it directly with pretty much any text editor as well. If you're going to post the log text directly, please at least use HIDE tags...
So here what I just did:
I wanted to do a last try to get that error 1 msg and get the repport directly to publicate it here...
So I decide to go to a clean basis. So,
1- Install all the stock ROM with odin. I choose the Home_CSC
Was another just CSC without Home, dont know exactly which one I had to choose, I choose Home_CSC.
2- Turn the fone off
3- Turn it back to download mode
4- Install the TWRP recovery, and I did not reboot.
5- Turn off the fone.
6- Turn on to recovery mode.
7- Format the data (yes)
8- Reboot to Recovery mode.
9- Install Magisk!
AT MY BIG SURPRISE I DID NOT GET ANY ERROR MSG!!! The installation finished without error!
So I continued...
10- install No verity
11- install SuperUS 2.82
13- Reboot the phone.
I was thinking that the root was ok, now I have a new pb. When I tryed to verify with Root Checker, it says no root. When I entered the app, it said BINARY OCCUPIED.
So any suggestion?

Say what...? You've misunderstood something, somewhere. Use Magisk OR SuperSU. Magisk is it's own root solution...
Are you by any chance using some old and outdates guides? Previously you could use SuperSU with Magisk, but that has not been the case since v13.0, well over a year ago, and MagiskSU has been around since v11.0, introduced a year and a half ago.

The root management app for Magisk/MagiskSU is the Magisk Manager. SuperSU and it's accompanying app is a whole different root solution (that has been sold by @Chainfire and seemingly abandoned by it's new owners).
Magisk usually takes care of dm-verity itself, so there shouldn't be any need for an extra no-verity zip. Sometimes it is needed, but I would skip it until you've tried using Magisk only. If you don't know, dm-verity is used by Android to determine if your device has been tampered with. If you wan't to root your device (tampering), you usually have to disable dm-verity or the device won't boot at all.
If you want root with Magisk, do your list again, but skip step 10 and 11. If it doesn't boot after that, go back to TWRP and flash the no-verity zip.

I just repeated all the procedure, this time just with Magisk, like you said. its installation finished without any error.
I just tryed ROOT Checker, any I finally have the root on my fone!! Thanx you very much for the support, and the explanation.
Can I use Backup/Restoration with TWRP knowing that I rooted with Magisk??

Great to hear! :good:
You can use TWRP without any issues. Magisk has no impact on it and TWRP has it's own su.

Thx you one more time. Going to install some of my app and configure my new fone then do a backup, for a clean restoration in some months...
I have a problem for the Backup with TWRP. When I want to do a Backup, I get this msg:
failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
I ve looked on google to fix it, the solution I found is to change data to ext2, then back to ext4.
The pb is that it is removing everything from my phone?
Anyone is having the same issue??

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

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.

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

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).
Dear all,
I currently use the Minotaurus S8 Port V11.0 (pre-rooted ROM) on a Samsung S7 Edge.
During the installation I chose SuperSU.
Now I'd like to switch to MagiskSU - if possible without flashing the complete ROM one again.
Nevertheless my efforts currently are not successful.
I read that I have to unroot first what I did with using osm0sis unSU. This worked and root was gone.
Trying then to install Magisk (v12) ended up with an error:

Besides flashing the unSU script you'll need to also flash a boot image without the SuperSU patches. That's gonna be an issue on a pre-rooted ROM. You say you chose SuperSU during installation? Did you have any other options (Magisk or no root)? If so, reinstall the ROM and make a different choice.

Thanks for the quick answer.
Yes, the other options mentioned by you are available.
Is it possible to do a "dirty" flash over the current ROM without having to reinstall everything again afterwards ?
If yes, I assume the steps would be:
1) "dirty" flash of original ROM with choosing "MagiskSU" or "no root"
2) reboot necessary ?
3) flashing Magisk v13
4) reboot and ready ?
That easy ?
Thx,

Or extract the kernel from your ROM.zip and flash it in TWRP.
Nothing in your current ROM will change.
So...
1.) unsu.zip
2.) Flash unpatched kernel (just go to "Install" in TWRP and choose in the bottom right "Select Image" > Select you boot.img and choose "boot" as partition in the next screen)
3.) Flash Magisk Beta v13
4.) Reboot
That's how I did it on my HTC 10.

Mate, just unroot from supersu as you did earlier, then copy original boot image to internal memory, boot into TWRP, flash original boot image and then flash Magisk. It should work now.

Im having a similar problem. i have an lgms550. my problem is when i flash the stock boot img, magisk still states unable to mount. im not sure whats wrong here
So, I got a Huawei P9 (L09) and want to UnSU as well to install Magisk.
I once took apart an update file and therefore also have a boot.img from this package.
Is this file the one I would need to restore my boot partition on this phone?
If so, then I got super lucky here.
I am on J7 Prime (SM-G610F) the issue is I'm on the stock Nougat ROM which comes in a .tar.md5 format which I don't know how to disassemble.
The .md5 files are in fact .TAR files with the MD5 sum appended at the end.
If you rename each .md5 to a .tar file, they can be unpacked with 7zip or Winrar.
Can someone please please help me. I have j7 prime with supersu & trying to move on magisk but it says boot image is patched by another program. I'm soo tired with this issue please help me.

Dear all,
I currently use the Minotaurus S8 Port V11.0 (pre-rooted ROM) on a Samsung S7 Edge.
During the installation I chose SuperSU.
Now I'd like to switch to MagiskSU - if possible without flashing the complete ROM one again.
Nevertheless my efforts currently are not successful.
I read that I have to unroot first what I did with using osm0sis unSU. This worked and root was gone.
Trying then to install Magisk (v12) ended up with an error:

Then I installed SuperSU v2.82 again which brought back root (with SuperSU).
I tried to flash Magisk v13.0 (96f8efc) but again end up in an error:

Is anybody able to help me and give me some guidance to get MagiskSU (with v13.0)
Thank you in advance,
Best regards,

Or extract the kernel from your ROM.zip and flash it in TWRP.
Nothing in your current ROM will change.
So...
1.) unsu.zip
2.) Flash unpatched kernel (just go to "Install" in TWRP and choose in the bottom right "Select Image" > Select you boot.img and choose "boot" as partition in the next screen)
3.) Flash Magisk Beta v13
4.) Reboot
That's how I did it on my HTC 10.

The boot image you can extract from your device's factory image/firmware/ROM.
One of the best ways to unroot is to flash the unSU zip and then restore the stock boot image. That should be it.
If it doesn't work, provide logs (recovery log from flashing) and more details about your setup.
What is recovery log????
I have only copy log in my twrp recovery
And i tried copy log still saying boot image patched by other program

I tried recently that unsu.zip
But still showing root is properly installed

That is the recovery log.
Save the log after flashing the unSU zip and upload it. Or, just wipe and clean flash your device. Sounds like it might be easier... There are so many questions raised from your posts, but so few answers...
I'd suggest to go over to your device's forum and read up on the basics.
I have uninstalled SuperSU by flashing unsu.zip .
But when i tried to install magisk,it is failed showing this message "Boot image patched by other program,please restore stock boot image "
What to do??

You do what the message says (the unSU zip doesn't restore the stock boot image for you)...
You'll find some pointers here:

The boot image is a part of your device's software. It's what Magisk modifies to do it's thing. If the installer can't recognise it, there's not much you can do... Except providing logs, that is.
The update binary is a part of the installer. It's the script that modifies the boot image to install Magisk on your device.
When you have these kind of errors, save the recovery log after flashing the zip (Advanced -> Copy Log) and post that (attach it or use Pastebin or similar, don't copy it directly to the post). It's so much easier to troubleshoot with proper logs.
First thing you can try is to use the latest beta and see if that works.

I guess you can't attach a file, being so new... You can upload it somewhere and provide the link or use Pastebin and provide the link/id for it.

That was a bit of a shady file sharing site. Anyway...
Your installed TWRP is pretty old. That might have something to do about it. Update TWRP, or you could try letting the Magisk Manager patch the boot image and then flash the patched image with TWRP. Installation instructions in the release thread.

Hm.... It might be that your TWRP is to old, but it should be the same procedure as when flashing a zip file except you switch to image flashing by pressing the "Image" button after going to the "Install" screen.
If that doesn't work, use fastboot (or whatever is available for your device).
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

So I did what u told me and flashed the boot.img succesfully. Now after flashing that, I flashed v14 and still error in executing update binary. Same with 14.5. But this time after I saw that, I rebooted my device and found magisk manager on my phone. It says v14 installed. Is it installed already?

Yes, if you flash the patched boot image you don't have to do anything else. The Magisk Manager has already taken care of everything.
If you want v14.5 beta, you should now be able to change the update channel (in Manager settings) to beta and update. Just as a FYI, you could have done this already when patching the boot image.
Sounds like it's working now, or? Can you install modules?

I installed an app and gave it root permission. It looks like it's working. However the module part, I'm still unsure. When I try to add modules, the screen took me in storage. Looks like it requires me to import something? Where can I download modules?

First of all, don't even mention that piece of piracy software on xda. It's used to steal from developers and is not allowed here.
In the "Modules" part you can manually install modules that you've previously downloaded. If you want to install directly from the Magisk repo, you (unsurprisingly ) go to the "Downloads" section of the Manager. If you can't see "Downloads", make sure the Manager has internet access.

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

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

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,

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

Allowed storage permissions, flashed the patched boot and now im rooted
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).

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!!

- copied magisk uninstall to phone memory
- installed magisk uninstall
- rebooted in fastboot/bootloader mode
- flashed original boot.img extracted from stock image zip file ("fastboot flash boot boot.img")
- rebooted to TWRP
- installed magisk 17.0 zip file
- rebooted to system, all OK!
Only problem is that I lost previous magisk configuration, but it's a snap to reconfigure it!

1) Do not update via Magisk Manager.

4) Boot to Android.
5) Reboot to TWRP
6) Install V17 ZIP via TWRP and boot to Android.
If you HAVE INSTALLED and got a bootloop:
1) Download the uninstaller ZIP.
2) Enter TWRP during the bootloop.
3) Uninstall using the uninstaller ZIP.
4) Boot to Android.
5) Download V17.
6) Reboot to TWRP and flash the V17.
7) Boot to Android it it should be working.

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...
