Problem with installing magisk - Magisk

Really don't know where to post this, so I'm writing it here.
I have problems installing Magisk on Alcatel Pixie 3 4 (4013), phone runs on MediaTek MT6572M and currently operating on CyanogenMod 12.1
stock rom is based on 4.4.2 so I had to upgrade to lollipop based rom.
I'm trying to install magisk with twrp 3.0, but it gives me "unable to unpack boot image".
unninstalled supersu and run unsu script, because rom was pre-rooted.
I have tried Exodus rom, but magisk hide didnt work at all, magisk itself was. So I tried this one. Without success I guess.

Magisk Manager "app not installed"

hello guys, hope you can help me here.
so as per title say, i got error when installing magisk manager 5.6.4, app not installed.
have try with older version but got same problem.
before this, i tried to upgrade system from nougat to oreo. successful with flashable roms.
at nougat, i got magisk manager, but couple steps to upgrade they recommended to remove magisk, so i use magisk uninstaller. and magisk gone for good.
after booting to oreo, i want to recover root, but cant even install magisk manager apk.
try to flash magisk 16.0, success with no problem.
now im very confuse. need help.
EDIT 1: and for some reason i cant install OTA. is this related?
Unfortunately I ran into the same problem. I tried installing Magisk Manager (5.6.3 and 5.6.4) on a stock, clean Nexus 6P but received that same error when running the app. I originally used ADB to install it and when that didn't produce the expected result I just used ADB to push the file to the device and then installed it manually. Neither method resulted in Magisk Manager running so I ended up having to install TWRP (which is what I was trying to avoid) and then flash the Magisk zip file. After that Magisk Manager ran successfully.
Too bad the documentation makes assumptions about everyone automatically understanding what is meant by 'install Magisk Manager'.

Help problem installing Magisk v.16 on AEX Oreo 8.1 ROM

HELP I have researched everywhere on the internet and I'm not sure what to do. I have a REDMI 4A wit AEX ROM OREO8.1 installed, TWRP 3.2.2.0 Official (for Redmi 4A on the twrp website) and tried to flash Magisk v.16. Error 1 mount vendor shows up in twrp. Many YouTubers says I should flash boot.img. I've already flashed the boot.img of the given AEX ROM OREO 8.1, but the same error occurs. I tried to search for answers, and what I found was that apprently aosp oreo ROMs usually are Treble ROMs. Downloaded Termux app and checked if ROM was treble = false = NOT Treble! Then others say I have to flash a modded vendor version of twrp. (Link: (add Https here)/androidfilehost.com/?fid=674106145207489212) Haven't tried it out just wanted to make sure if I should or not, bacuse the last time I tried to flash a different twrp, I had to flash the original one back using ADB...
Btw I had given up at some point and I flashed SuperSU successfully. Why Can I flash SuperSU but not Magisk?? I fully unrooted SuperSU and am ready to try flashing Magisk again. If anyone has any idea how to fix this, pleeeeeease tell me I need Snapchat to work while having root (yes I know I could've used Titanium Backup but that not the point rn)
Thanks in advance!!!

Yup, you must use TWRP Vendor if you want to use magisk in AEX Oreo.
Han usb Deccan if DHC dry j
Wrong section.
Install TWRP Pitch Black, then install magisk for treble rom
That version may have bugs try the newer versions
Try with Pitch Black recovery or Orange Fox recovery
Same for me and than i using BATIK Recovery for fix it
Solved Magisk error!
I've tried so many Recoveries and after trying more than 5 recoveries and about 7 Different ROM I finally got the answer.
So basically now that Redmi 4A is treble based, hence it has now a new Partitioning vendor based. For that you'll need new Recovery that support vendor mounting. I've tried the other Recoveries mentioned above and all of them are buggy. Go for the official TWRP vendor based Recovery. I found it here :
https://freaksterism.blogspot.com/2018/10/solved-cannot-mount-vendor-magisk.html?m=1
The steps are explained purely for Redmi 4A.
Use pitchblack recovery and all the problems will fix or install supersu and install magisk apk, grant root and install directly and then you can uninstall supersu with unsu zip

Magisk version for Treble roms?

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.

Magisk doesn't root :(

I use Magisk since years and my devices got always rooted after its installation, but today it's differenti ad you may see in the attached pic...
I've G8441 and I installed Lineage 16, I'd even like to have root access!
Waiting for your advices to solve my problem!
You need to give more details than that. What have you done and what was the result?
Take a look here:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHelp
I installed Magisk via TWRP, I can't provide any log but installation ended in the good way (no error) but Magisk is not installed.
I flashed Magisk before ROM and gapps, I rebooted after that and then I installed the rest (ROM and gapps).
That's still quite slim, information-wise...
But, if you flashed your ROM after Magisk there's a good chance that Magisk got overwritten with the stock ROM boot image. And if the LOS addon.d glitched (there's been issues with v2), you'd end up with no root.
Magisk goes last when installing.

Knowing that Magisk needs to be the last during installation is good! Gotta try this!
Many thanks Didgeridoohan!
