Moto G5S+ magisk and TWRP - Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers

I'd like to know if there is a magisk root, and either official or unofficial TWRP for this phone, on Android 8.1.
Bonus points for the stock ROM, or a way to get it before flashing magisk

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

A2 Root with Magisk

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.

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.

What is "Lygisk"? Do you mean Magisk?
LineageOS already comes with root, if I'm not mistaken. Unfortunately, the SU binary used is different from Magisk, so while root will work (and Magisk will manage it), other Magisk functions may not work properly.
If you're able to find an unrooted LineageOS image, follow the Magisk installation instructions. Generally, you either have to flash Magisk in recovery, or patch the boot image.

Just stumbled on this...
FWIW, official LOS is not pre-rooted.
