Hello,
I successfully unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP for the Xiaomi Mi A2 Global.
But what I was not able to achive is root with Magisk. I tried beta 16.7 (1671) and also 16.0 stable. And I discovered a 16.7 (1674) in the Magisk thread here. No chance. It looks good without any errors in TWRP when installing Magisk but nothing is there when I boot the phone.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Roi
Which twrp that you use ? AFAIK current build twrp not fully working yet. You can root with magisk using magisk patched boot image (the only way for now until a fully working twrp is available)
I did it! Used this Magisk boot image and have Magisk 16.0 running on the A2.

Hello!
What version of Magisk are you all using for treble roms?
Ever since i install a treble rom (on DotOS for the moment), magisk keeps booting me to fastboot. I've used the 16.4 magisk recommended in the LineageOS thread (Link).
The official Magisk said the following in the release notes for 16.7:
Hot Fix (versionCode: 1671)
Fix booting to fastboot on half-treble devices (OP5/5T on stable OOS, maybe more)
Detect ramdisk partition for Huawei
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Which seemed promising but when i flashed my phone and boot it doesn't recognize it (no errors during flashing), and Magisk Manager says that Magisk isn't installed.
Any help on this would be very appreciated.
Title says it all, I can't root my Xiaomi MI8 (dipper) on MIUI 8.11.15 Global with the latest TWRP by wzsx150, I'm not sure what I've done wrong or is it just not compatible? I'm also using the latest Magisk which is v17.3
Things I've tried:
Flash dm-verity first then flash magisk
Flash Magisk without dm-verity
All of them unsuccessful. Please help me on this one, I really need to root my device. Thank you
Why are you flashing beta version of Magisk?

What's the error message? Tried with 17.2?
If the flashing of Magisk has gone without errors, you may need to download the Magisk Manager apk and install and open it and it will show that you are rooted
Device is Mi A1 (tissot).
To install permanently twrp, i need to flash magisk. But i already have it installed.
I'm thinking if i could flash the twrp installer zip, and after this, update magisk (via twrp), that is crucial to keep twrp.
Hi,
I have a question,
On my ulefone armor 5E I installed magisk by fastbooting a patched boot. It is rooted now.
But I don't want magisk 20.3 but 19.3 or 19.1
Is there a way to patch a boot IMG with an older magisk version, but I don't have a recovery for this device. Can't find one....
It is because I like swift installer but that seems incompatible with magisk 20.3 VB (also on my xperia xz1)
Thanks in advance
Hi all, the new magisk 24.1 installing only patching boot or recovery imgs depending if phone has ramdisk or not.
Magisk says that mi9lite has no ramdisk so must be installed into recovery partition. but is really magisk installed in recovery?
Is this phone an exception? Because I have many times updated twrp but magisk didnt need to be reflashed.
I think it has ramdisk. Even when magisk says it has not. If I remember correctly when I got my phone back in december '19, magisk showed ramdisk: yes.
Two weeks ago I clean flashed the lastest xiaomi-eu stable, installed magisk through twrp (renaming magisk.apk to magisk.zip) and is working just fine. (for me at least)
Thanks I think same
I can confirm that mi 9 lite (pyxis) does have ramdisk.
Just flashed LineageOS 18.1 20220303 build, downloaded latest Magisk v24.3.apk from github, renamed it to .zip and flashed it via TWRP 3.6.1_9-0.
Added safetynet-fix in Magisk and all the checks pass, playstore is certified and banking apps etc. work.
My device has a ramdisk omg file on firmware but magisk says no ramdisk
