Hello,
I'm using magisk 16.0, i get these bugs on Mi A1 stock rom 8.1.0. ROM that i'm using is this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76813554&postcount=340
1. Some module not updated on phone reboot. On magisk it still show "module will be updated on nex phone reboot", even i already reboot phone.
2. Phone sometimes won't boot into system, i need to force press & hold power button.
3. Magisk sometimes gone after phone reboot. When i open magisk app, it show me to install magisk even i already install it via twrp

I uninstall magisk and reinstal magisk v16. Then updated to v16.4, install all modules and it solved
Attached log for #2 & #3 problem

#2 I can't say much about, don't know what that could be...
#3 Is under some serious investigation at the moment.

Any news?

Magisk issues

when i try to install it i get bootloop and when it installs i get a error that i need to update or reinstall and modules wont work or install but when it updates or reinstall i get a bootloop and then i get pushed into recovery, i installed magisk and patched the boot.img file same error.
what i tryed
1- flashed magisk zip from twrp
2-flashed magisk patched boot with fastboot
3-flashed magisk patched boot and wiped data it crashes some times and works sometime but with out modules and i get error i need to update.
4-flashed EU rom and did the same steps same error
i have
K20pro 10.3.3 global
tried miui eu 10.3.3
the fix
used orange fox recovery with the 19.4 magisk and it worked for me i downloaded it from https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-firmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647
1- you need a otg with a flash memory.
2-install orange fox recovery .
3-wipe data cash and devcash internal storage .
4-from the settings mount system and vendor.
5-then install the magisk 19.4 clear cash and reboot now it works fine for me.

when i first rooted global rom on Mi9t pro i flashed magisk 19.3 and it boot back to twrp then i went to advanced wipe and format data reboot and all is good did you try that.

yeah it wont run modules

the reason for bootloop often is not formating data thats why i asked iff you tried that after flashing magisk.

i get requires additional setup
your device needs additional setup for magisk to work properly.it will download magisk setup zip, do you want to proceed now?
when i press yes i get a bootloop issue
and if dont i cant run modules
when i try to install modules i get update to the latest magisk its up to date 19.3 and 7.3.2

when you get the bootloop issue after flashing the modules go into twrp and go to advanced wipe then format data i think this is possibly the issue. But backup internal storage to laptop or somewhere before doing this step.

Have you tried any other version of magisk? Which version are you using and are you on the magisk manager latest version. Perhaps try magisk 19.4

Where did you get Magisk from? Are you downloading from the official Magisk github site?

Yes

I have the same problem. I'm on 9T Pro Global on a K20 Pro Raphael. Installed TWRP and Flashed Magisk. Then wipe advanced Davisk and DATA. I installed Magisk manager but cannot install modules... I'm on latest version... It says requires additional setup but sends me to TWRP and I have to restart system all over again.

test 19.4 same issue need to update to make it work

used orange fox recovery with the 19.4 magisk and it worked for me i downloaded it from https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-firmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647

I'm glad you guys found a fix I was on miui global mi9t Pro and I used twrp from Marino installed magisk 19.3 that's it I was rooted and I had no issue installing modules I had about 7 of them installed. Good luck anyway orange fix supposed to be a good recovery.

I flashed twrp recovery 3.3.1.0 raphael official. Then I went and flashed the global miui rom, so far everything is correct, then I flashed magisk 20.4 zip and it gave me error 1. I wanted to flash the uninstaller and it gave me error 1. Someone could help me to solve this.
I have the Mi 9T pro
Miui 11 global stable rom
With Android 10 Q
Unlock bootloader

magisk 20.1 causes bootloop to recovery!

i run china k20 pro on indian miui 11.01.0
i installed twrp -21 version
installing magisk 20 provides root access however magisk manager asks to something which results in bootloop to recovery
ignoring that request, the module i wanted to install [energized ] asks for updating to magisk 20.1 which also leads to bootloop to recovery.
is there anything to do ? or just wait for magisk 20.2 to be released and then try it
p.s installing magisk was the only way to prevent redmi recovery from overwriting twrp, i don't know if this has any importance

i'm in kinda similar situation ,
installed magisk v20.1 and everything went fine , but when trying to install viper4android it asked me do install busybox , i did it within magisk now it only boots to fastboot , to fix it and make it boot agian i used magisk_uninstaller.zip
boots fine now but can't install magisk again if i do that it will stuck on fastboot screen .
so for your case i suggest using magisk uninstaller.zip
but hope that some one help to install magisk agian

Dont install Viper4android via magisk. Just download the package and install in via TWRP. Use this guide

I have this exact problem right now but even with other versions of magisk, I encounter the same issue. Any suggestions?

Same problem here with magisk I guess it is a compatibly issue with MIUI 11

Yep, it's a MIUI11 issue and the reason I haven't shifted over to it. I suspect whatever release of magisk is in the pipeline will fix it provided it's been reported.
In the meanwhile I've read 19.4 works; you could try the canary builds if that seems to old for your liking... just be careful.

Had the same problem, its because of data encryption.
You guys need to format data before installing magisk.

Even with data formatting 20.1 causes issues: In fact, it seems latest Magisk build seems to be causing issues on all (or, many) builds of MIUI 11.
For k20 pro, 19.3/.4 seems smartest to install and then update via magisk manager
I believe other phones (mi 9?) need even older versions like 17.2, so I wouldn't be surprised if future updates continue to push the installation build back.

I'm hoping the Magisk situation gets fixed. I checked the Magisk support thread and only saw one post about a bootloop with a Mi9T Pro (again, likely data encryption) so I'm given the impression MIUI might be off the radar for Magisk bug fixes.
I've had a couple of issues with Magisk 20.1 on MIUI10 - nothing critical but a couple times Magisk Manager has frozen (i.e. kill the process, relaunch and it works) and a couple hangs when root apps have been launched for the first time (again, kill + relaunch, a few times if necessary). Smooth sailing otherwise but gives me the impression that Magisk isn't without flaws on MIUI. One response was to dump MIUI altogether but I'd rather have a stable hardware experience for now. I tested a lot of custom ROMs on my last device and based on that, I'd like to stick to MIUI for a while.
Out of curiousity what are the other bugs with MIUI11 aside from it not working with encryption?

Other than standard app compatibility issues, I haven't heard of any major MIUI11 bugs, which is fantastic to hear.

I have tried all sorts. MI9T MIUI 11.0.1.0 and magisk just causes recovery bootloop . Gonna try magisk 19.4 if thats a thing mentioned in a previous reply

I use Miui 11.0.3 together with Magisk. I used the following procedure:
1. Copy Magisk 20.1 (for twrp) to your internal storage (e.g. downloads)
2. Install Magisk via TWRP
3. Don't reboot (it will cause bootloop).
4. Do factory reset (it will remove your Data). Your bootloader will remain patched.
5. Reboot your phone, do initial config.
6. Install Magisk Manager and run it so you will see that Magisk is installed.
7. DON'T install additional files suggested by Magisk Manager (or you will end up in bootloop again)
8. Enjoy your rooted K20Pro!

I got the same problem on my k20 pro (with MIUI EU).I try driffent ways provided by magisk official but no one works.I have to flash the system. It's not a good idea for intalling V4A on this phone

Does your phone remain encrypted after you do these steps? I doubt...
For some reasons, I wanna keep my phone encrypted.

How to prevent magisk from uninstalling automatically?

Hi, I have a 6x mi from my wife, who has rom.eu, bootloader unlocked and twrp (not updated). I recently installed magisk by twrp and magisk manager apk. Everything went well and I also installed adaway.
However, two days later magisk is uninstalled. I repeated the installation by twrp and is again uninstalled.
Why is this happening and what can I do to keep magisk installed?

Reboot and done

It does not work.
I have to reinstall, but then uninstall alone again ...

Tried root with Magisk and now my phone doesn't start.

Hi all, as the title implies, I'm a newbie to all this. I tried to root my phone using an online guide on how to root xiaomi mi 9 using TWRP and Magisk. I faced some problems but eventually everything was done as the tutorial said.
Here are the exact steps I've done...
- unlocked the phone via Mi unlocking tool
- started fastboot and installed TWRP 3.3.1-0 ( I installed a version first that didn't start when I pressed both power and volume up, then installed the 331-0 version that worked)
- inside TWRP i installed Magisk 20.4
- The phone restarted but never reach the system. It hangs for sometime on android screen then restarts again and then brings me again to TWRP
I spent quiet sometimes reading online solutions but nothing worked for me...
I tried installing Magisk uninstaller.zip nothing changed. tried wiping cache. Tried installing magisk 20 and 20.3
some solutions recommended installing Magisk 19 0r 17 but they both ended up with error for me.
Please help. I'm on Android 10 with MIUI 11

Never had any problems with magisk What TWRP version have you used?
The steps are the same:
-Unlocked phone.
-TWRP.
-Flash magisk zip (you can install magisk manager, then download latest official magisk zip from it and then flash downloaded zip from TWRP).
-reboot.
Anyway you can fix your system by:
-wipe cache/dalvik.
-FORMAT data (with yes).
I don't think you need this 2 first steps for flashing fastboot ROM but it won't hurt.
-Flash official fastboot ROM in fastboot mod, using mi flash tool or included batch/bash scripts (don't lock your device if you don't want to, choose the right option when you flash, with or without "lock").
Mi 9 Fastboot V11.0.5.0.QFAMIXM Global
Mi 9 Fastboot V11.0.8.0.QFAEUXM EEA
You will loose all your data, apps and settings.

Thanks for your help mate...
I'm using this TWRP version..
----//dl.twrp.me/cepheus/
Strangely enough, my phone started after flashing Magisk-uninstaller-20191011.zip I'm sure i tried this before and it doesn't work.
Anyway, all my app and data are gone. I still want to root though, can you help me? what version of TWRP and Magisk i should use?

I would try flash latest fastboot ROM as i said before it will reflash almost everything And then flash magisk by installing magisk manager and download latest magisk zip through it and flash it with twrp-3.3.1-62-cepheus-mauronofrio TWRP
Sometimes first flash of TWRP don't work, just flash it ones more by fastboot flash twrp twrp-3.3.1-62-cepheus-mauronofrio.img from your pc.
