Hello
Okay i flashed my mobile with new OTA
after i try to install magisk but getting error that "Magisk manager stopped" after zip downloaded
i dont know why that happening
after zip downloaded getting black window then pop up shown about error
i think it cant patch boot img properly
in my old rom it works properly, but after flashing it did not work
thank you....
Try installing it in recovery
I sometimes get that majisk stopped toast on just about any ROM and just about any majisk release. I just ignore it. I have no idea of the what or why. Haven't noticed it affecting anything.
Yes. It's happening to me too. Does it work if I flash this update with twrp?

Did you read the responses above? It was already suggested to try that.
After installing magisk 15.2, magisk manager 5.5.3 stuck at the splash screen for me. What's wrong ?

Having the exact same issue on a pixel xl. Tried on 7.1 and 8.1, both with the same result.
I never use manager. Always TWRP, and can people start searching and using the support thread for questions, logs, and bugs instead of keep making a hundred useless threads of the same thing, can't install, can't install modules, etc. That's what support thread for. Thanks.
I am using MIUI 7.12.28 (latest) on Redmid 3S and I can flash magisk 15.2 using TWRP normally but when the phone restart, i go to magisk manager and it shows that magisk is not installed
I tried flash many time but the same problem happen
When i tried to flash magisk 14.0, it works. what is the problem here o_o

No, i am flashing from start
I just flash new miui (full wipe, factory reset)
and i also try to update from Magisk manager but when the flash screen appear, magisk manager force close (I already tried to clear data of Magisk manager and tried to update again but no success)
Now i can have root with Magisk 14.0 but when i tried to update to 15.2 using TWRP, it just disappear lol
(Flashing normally, no error, restart phone, go to magisk manager -> magisk is not installed )
I had SuperSU installed (but I needed to hide the root from some apps), and I installed Magisk with the Direct Install method with succes.
I reboted and now is stuck in a boot loop...
What can I do to fix it?
I'm using a Galaxy Note 3 (Android 5) with stock firmware.

And of course the rest of the guide:

I didn't know I have to backup my boot.img file
I'm searching for my original boot.img file from the firmware right now, but until the download is complete (15 hours :| ), I'm trying to flash the magisk uninstaller and use it with twrp terminal.

Thank you!
Solved it!
I flashed the Magisk uninstaller (Magisk-uninstaller-20180921.zip from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases) with TWRP, and it worked!
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.
TWRP INSTALLER FOR REDMI 8
I want to share my tool for installing TWRP for Redmi 8.Tested on MIUI 11 Global 11.0.10.0 (PCNMIXM). Always take a backup of your data before doing this modifications. I'm not responsible if something went wrong and do it at your own risk!!!

So, after ahard reset tried again following yor guide, still not rooted, after that I flashed stock rom to have a clean install and tried the tutorial I posted using a stock boot image patched with magisk and still no root. Is it possible that I am having no luck and you managed to root yours because of different stock roms i.e. Global vs China or Russia roms?

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.

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.

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).

But TWRP worked fine when installing magisk the first time, I even tried the same zip folder I used to install it back then, but it wont work anymore.

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.
