Magisk v15.2 not installing

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

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 )

Relock bootloader (with magisk) on the Oneplus 5?

Hello everyone, I've tried to search on the web about this issue since the OTA for Android O is finally out for the Oneplus 5 and couldn't get a satisfying solution. I rooted my OP5 a while ago with Magisk and now that this update is out and tried to install it, It just wouldn´t let me, searching I found that my locked swich to relock the bootloader was because I had to enable it on Magisk, so I opened magisk and couldn´t find that option, and now that I searched on how to enable the "Lock bootloader option" in the Magisk app and found nothing, I'm just out of ideas, so guys, could you help a (noob) brother out with this?
Ps.: If you could attach some screenshots about where to click or what to do, I'll apreciate it a lot (yeah, I'm that stupid when I freak out and don't find how to undo mi mess)

No... Do not lock your bootloader! Since you've been modifying your device that would potentially brick it.
What you're probably looking for is to restore your boot image. That's what Magisk modifies and is the reason why a normal OTA doesn't work. If you have TWRP installed, that would also be an issue.
The easiest way for you to update would be to download the full OTA zip, flash that in TWRP directly followed by the Magisk zip. That way you'll be nice and updated and still rooted.

Allright! I've downloaded the zip with the update, now: do I have to get the latest magisk zip, flash the update and then immediately flash the newest magisk zip?

How old is the last phone you had?

As of OOS 9.5.10 you can boot twrp by fastboot, then sideload twrp into both slots and finally flash magisk which patches the boot.img itself. Thus no need for patched boot.img anymore.

Does this work for the global version??

Patched boot.img is a silly way of rooting... If someone uses the wrong boot.img for their version it will fail to boot. Plus, booting TWRP and flashing the magisk zip is faster and more reliable

The only difference between the global and the EU versions are supposed to be the LTE bands.

Sorry for asking but I wanna root mine as soon as it comes. So if you install TWRP and flash with magisk the OTAs won't be broken?

I get still offered OTAs by the system. However I prefer to use Oxygen Updater app from Play Store to download it and flash directly in TWRP.

Oh cool. So like "dirty flashing". Will magisk also get killed in the proccess? I'm not sure how A/B partitions work. Do you just install magisk from twrp or do you have to somehow install it on both partitions?

I seem to have lost my root after I did the update for 9.5.11 this morning
Here is what I did
I did as stated
Download update, Install, DO NOT REBOOT
Went to Magisk, unistalled all modules, then did OTA Install
Rebooted
Went to Magisk installed TWRP, but my phone froze at that point and the screen turned all white and just sat there
So I clicked on the power button and rebooted
Got back into my phone and checked to see if I was still rooted via root checker app and now it says I AM NOT ROOTED
What can I do to fix this I can launch Magisk, but now it says its is not installed on the screen, so I click install, download the ZIP option
It says Select Method, Download ZIP ONLY which I did or Select and Patch a File which I am not sure what file I need to use?
How can I get my root back on the phones
I am on NOW on 9.5.11 GM 1917
Thanks all
Thanks all

Follow the steps on TWRP and rooting on my guide. Look in the Guides & Discussion section of XDA

Flashing this on International breaks the WiFi. Does anyone have the international version?

If you don't need TWRP, first booting it and flashing the zip takes way longer than "fastboot flash boot boot.img".

TWRP install and magisk root xz3

So over the last day or 2 I've tried flashing the twrp recovery image. It flashes fine and reboots and loads the twrp recovery. However nothing works after that like it hangs and the touch screen is inop. How do I get past this? I have flashed the latest twrp for 52.0.A. 8.131 and phone is on the stock firmware also.
Just trying to get to the stage of installing the magisk root software. I've heard also people having issues with certain versions of magisk on Sony phones to? Is this fixed in the latest version?
Is there anything else I should be doing? Is the xz3 able to be rooted on the latest software released by Sony as of August update

I didn't got bug reports to fix something in this direction.
Touch doesn't work in the android system?
And it hangs?
Or what hangs where?
Yes, you either need to use magisk 18.1 or the newest canary should work too.

Hi Martin, touch doesn't work when in the main twrp screen after using fastboot to move the twrp. img file over to the device so I can install the magisk program to allow root access.

Well it's like it hangs as it loads the Sony logo and then boots into twrp but nothing happens when touching the touch screen or using the side volume buttons apart from showing the twrp boot logo.
What's the full process of flashing twrp to the device? Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I did see some people have had to connect a mouse to there phone to operate twrp?
Sorry for the confusion. I'm not sure if it's the way I'm doing it or if there is a issue with twrp on the xz3 on the latest Sony firmware. I've done a few roots before as I have a tablet install in my car as well as rooting a previous xperia phone but the latest android 9 seems harder to crack.

So you see just the twrp logo, no buttons?
That indicates a failing decryption
Did you downloaded the reuploaded twrp?
And twrp and firmware having the same version?

Yeah that's it, just the main twrp boot screen/logo no buttons to install the magisk.
I haven't as of yet. When was this uploaded? Recent? Yeah the version for twrp was for the same firmware version not custom rom just stock version
Is there any specific way to flash it in fastboot?

I did reupload the twrp with new omnirom code changes to fix this problem in the past
Please redownload the twrp
I hope it is fixed now
If not, I would like to see a dmesg and a /tmp/recovery.log

Just to confirm what is the correct way to flash the twrp. Img file using fastboot? Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img?

Managed to get it working, however once all installed it asks to update the magisk app to 19.3 which I have done however it is now stuck in a bootloop where it loads Sony and powered by android and then reboots every time.
What's the fix for this?

So far I've fixed it by reinstalling the previous version through twrp. Is there issues with magisk 19.3?
Alos now in the magisk manager I have the manager showing up to date(7.3.2) but magisk is showing not installed only able to install magisk 19.3?

Please either use magisk 18.1 or the newest canary
Or switch to a custom ROM. [emoji14]

For some reason I can't seem to get magisk 18.1 back on now after the update. I'm guessing I'll have to do a clean install again. The magisk manager is fine but magisk doesn't shown as installed. Is there a fix for this or will a clean stock flash work? Or is there a way to flash a new boot.img?
Is this also a known issue when updating magisk?

You can flash the magisk uninstaller first
Or the firmware
Or the boot.sin from the firmware folder
It's a known issue for the xperias from sony
The developer said that a working magisk before was an accident and since he used an official way it wasn't working anymore correctly
And then it seems in 19.4/canary fixed er the xperia specific issue.

Tried the magisk uninstaller but every time I do it comes up with error 1 and then never installs.
The flash boot.sin sounds a easy fix, I will try that and see. If not looks like a full firmware reinstall is on the cards. I'll stick with 18.1 when I do as that seemed to work until I updated. I'll wait till a stable release of 19.4 is released.
Many thanks for your help so far Martin.

Managed to reflash the beta 19.3 zip for magisk then restart, flashed the uninstaller which worked and then reinstalled magisk which is now working again.
Is it safe to update the manager app from 7.0.0 to 7.3. 2 and leave the magisk version at 18.1?

quick one,go to twrp and wipe system and flash stock rom through odin.long one and less error prone if you time->remove root->flash stock rom->lock bootloader(update will fail if bootloader is unlocked)reset is needed->update->unlock bootloader->flash twrp & magisk.
