how to fix bootloop in lineage 14.1

I want to install module "power nap" but I wanted to be prepared for a bootloop I wanted to know how to repair a bootloop I wanted to know if it is the correct method to repair a bootloop by xposed
Would it be flashing the "xposed-uninstaller-20160829-arm.zip" simply?

In case you encounter a bootloop after flashing Xposed (or installing any module), you can boot into recovery (TWRP recommended) and flash the uninstaller.zip file to solve the bootloop. Wipe cache&dalvik cache afterwards from within recovery to clear remaining stuff and reboot your device again.
For the latest uninstaller.zip, check the official announcement thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Download the corresponding version for your device and transfer the .zip file to your device. I guess your device requires the "arm" version (identical to the one you mentioned above).

Hey ,
You could simply install TWRP by fastboot , in this way you can have a recovery and then install Magisk for root permissions .
1. Go find your twrp.img for Xperia SP
2.Put your phone into fastboot mode and connect it to your PC , make sure you have the fastboot drivers installed.
3. Put the downloaded image in the platform-tools folder or where ever your Fastboot.exe file is
4. Connect your phone in fastboot
5. Type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" without quotation marks.
Now reboot your device and you should have TWRP installed
Now you can install any root module of your choice. Eg: Magisk
Hello,
I can't root my Xperia SP haushan..
Wtah i have:
- Flashtool_0.9.25.0 on my Win 10 PC, installed drivers
- unlocked bootloader
- TWRP 3.2.3.0
- installed ROM 8.1 oreo for Xperia SP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/orig-development/rom-aosp-oreo-xperia-sp-t3666304 (aosp-8.1.0-20180905-huashan-adriandc)
- open_gapps arm 8.1 pico
- BootBridge-SonyELF (e377bc9 on Jan 14) with Magisk_16.0 inside this (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v16.0/Magisk-v16.0.zip) -> magisk renamed to install.zip and replaced in BootBridge
Installing of Magisk:
- plug xperia to PC via USB in flashmode
- flash TWRP 3.2.3.0
- unplug xperia from PC
- restart xperia with no volume buttons pressed -> twrp is loaded
- install -> select BootBridge with Magiskv16.0 -> installation OK
- restart xperia -> twpr loaded again.. i think it's correct, right?
- plug xperia to PC via USB in flashmode
- flash root.img (unzipped from aosp-8.1.0-20180905-huashan-adriandc.zip)
- unplug xperia from PC & restart
- xperia starts to android
- root checker said that i've NOT rooted system..
1. How can I check that magisk is installed correctly? Is it any icon and application to run in my apps list? I have nothing.
2. Should i have recovery TWPR and root.img from aosp-8.1.0-20180905-huashan-adriandc.zip both in the same time?
When i will to run TWPR, i must flash it to xperia.. When i will to run system, i must flash root.img extracted from the ROM installer zip. It's normal? Or maybe i should run system without pressing volume and run TWPR with pressed volume+ or -?

boot-loop after flashing patched boot image with twrp and sp flash tool.

Hi I this is my first post in xda so pardon me for any mistake.
I am facing some issues while rooting my phone with magisk
I have Micromax q372 unite 3 (2015) running android lollipop v5.0 and I am trying to root with magisk v6.0.
So first I tried to flash magisk zip directly with twrp 3.0.2-0 recovery but it showed an error- unable to unpack boot.img
So I patched boot.img file using magisk manager and then tried flashing it with twrp and my phone went into boot-loop (i was unable to use adb method)
so I renamed patched_boot.img to boot.img and replaced this with an original boot.img file in my firmware and flashed the whole firmware using sp flash tool
and I got into boot-loop again. (I know how to solve boot loop.)
So how to root with magisk now.
- there is no new version of twrp available for my device.
- adb method not working.
- flashing original boot image also not working.
Please help me.

Boot Loops After Magisk Installation

I've been trying to hide root from an app with no luck from xposed and root cloak (and many other modules in xposed). So I discovered Magisk and decided to give it a go. I followed the instructions in the Magisk thread and unrooted my phone, downloaded Magisk and flashed with TWRP.
After the installation was "successful", I rebooted and just got boot loops after the Sony screen. I couldn't even boot into recovery. I'm assuming the cause of this was because I didn't have a stock kernel (I missed that part in the instructions lol). Anyway, to fix the boot loops, I flashed the kernel boot.img with fastboot.
I then tried installing Magisk with boot bridge, but got the exact same result.
So I'm gonna assume I need to go back to the stock kernel to install Magisk. Can someone help me with this? Or just point me in the right direction to installing Magisk? Would be very appreciated, cheers.

Magisk on z3 compact

Hello guys,
I have a problem installing magisk on my Sony Xperia z3 compact with android stock 6.0.1 in order to root my phone.
Today, for the first time, I unlocked the bootloader and I installed TWRP recovery.
I tried to install the latest version of magisk (v. 18.1) via TWRP, but it shows "Error 1".
I read in the XDA forum that I should flash the boot.img and then I should reinstall magisk.
What I don't understand is where I can find this file "boot.img". I have a stock rom.
Can someone help me?
Thanks!
