Magisk Update

I received an update in Magisk just a while. Anx opening up i have found that my magisk is not not installed and so the root is gone.
I clicked on install button, it says Install with zip and another option is install with patched boot.
I clicked on install with zip, it downloaded a zip in download folder, but as we dont have recovery now i dont know what to do with that zip. or should i go for patched boot img. and if yes? then how? thanks!

I had it too and root was detected after I rebooted my phone.

did u update? and how?

I lose my root, magisk don't update, and rebooting don't solved.
I'm getting tired of A2.

What are all of you doing? Just install the modified boot image and be done. Never had any issues here.

Just use as is, flash with fastboot, or patch the unpatched one with magisk manager and flash that. More wasn't needed on my side.

I flashed patched_boot.img, now it shows magisk installed . but root is not there still. i have one option INSTALL, clicking it says 1)via zip 2) patched boot

Syed Shahriar said:
my apology, here's what i should do:
1) fastboot flash patched_boot.img
2) reboot set and install latest magisk apk
3) hit install from that app
is it so?

No the patched boot image already is like installing magisk. Or to put it differently that's what happens when you install it the normal way so all you need is to flash the boot image and have magisk manager installed

ok now as its stands, just flash the boot image and then open up magisk. ( i have already magisk installed , but as unrooted, and it asks to update)

Can someone upload the stock boot img from the August security patch so I can patch it with the updated magisk v17 because I have the same problem?

I i already have the august patched boot image, can i just update magisk from the app?

I couldn't find a boot.img in the dump files. only bootanimations.zip but I don't think that's it.
Can you please tell me the directory or the file name so I can search for it?
Thanks.

Found it. Thank you very much. It is working now.

Do we have a stock boot image?

Well hello again! I am going to get Magisk using Magisk Manager, and I will use the patching method. But I can't find the stock boot image anywhere! I also don't know how to dump the boot image from the phone, so I need help. If any of you have the stock boot image for P smart (Android 8.0.0, EMUI 8, FIG-LX1), or know how to dump stock boot image, please send the image or send something like a tutorial. Any kind of will be appreciated, thanks.

..

I don't have TWRP, if I did, I would directly flash Magisk.

Unless your bootloader is unlocked you can't flash ANY .img file ...
If your bootloader is unlocked you can flash twrp custom recovery via fastboot & flash magisk .zip to root ..
I have a feeling you think you can somehow bypass unlocking your bootloader ...as if nobody else would have thought of that ..
Step 1 : unlock bootloader with dc unlocker
Step 2 : flash any twrp .img ( I'm using one by PretorianoO8
Step 3 : flash magisk & disable OTG update with any type of root app like sdmaid or titanium
:fingers-crossed: enjoy&goodluck
No there is no way around dc unlocker anymore .....SOT if you don't have a credit card and 4€ ..

You guys got me wrong, I HAD an unlocked bootloader, I just want to have the P smart's boot.img, it would be an easier way for me to root with Magisk.

you mean HAVE ..HAD is past tense ( ie it's no longer unlocked so not flashable) ..have .. present situation ..
it's very easy .. download firmware finder from playstore ..download full OTA package of choice ..extract the boot.img

Great, thanks a lot! Do I need to install Magisk.zip after that or Magisk Manager?
Sorry, been off from rooting the past few years but now I felt the need to do it again. :laugh:

I did figure it out what cost the problem, when i set up the phone for the first time it updated it to a new version which cost the incompatibility so i reflash the OEM rom that matches the patched boot.img and it worked, the only issue now is that the update fails, my Razr 5g is the unlocked version in the US. thank you

Can this be done to make a Verizon variant?

Sorry, but to unlock bootloader delete all my personal files and app?
2nd if i want only root, not use a different firmware, is enough to patch boot.img?
Tnk in advance.

You have to download the same version of firmware that is in you phone then unzip and extract boot.img
From telegram you find you fmw in this bot:

File IMG Patched for european firmware Android 11:
- Version: RPSS31.Q1-40-17-12-6
- Phone Model(s): XT2071-4-DS/PAJR0021RO
- Magisk Patched Boot.img
- Stock Boot.img

Anyone know where i can download the latest zip which contains boot.img? It's great to be able to root the first image, however any update after that makes root useless since the boot img causes issues and you'll wind up reflashing.

Question Lost root with latest OTA...

Phone updated from 13.0.2.0 to 13.0.4.0 accidentally or by itself, not sure, received the latest OTA and after reboot root is gone...
How can i get root back without loosing data or formatting?

You need to reinstall it using adb method, remember: everytime you update you loose the root

Will i use data/settings if i reinstall magisk via adb?

You mean lose? Nope you won't as you are not formatting anything

Sorry, i meant loose data... And last question, which adb method should i use? I don't have twrp installed either as it wasn't available while i was rooting 13.0.2.0... Not sure if it's available now...?

Adb method doesn't need twrp, it is a bit more difficult to inject the root but you don't need to go through twrp. Just search on Google you will find several guides, I can tell you that you need the boot.img of the installed ROM in order to complete the process. You usually find this file into the fastboot ROM zip package

So I'm guessing it's the same process as last time, the required boot.img will need to be from the updated 13.0.4.0 version? I barely remember how i did it initially, if you have any guides that work id really appreciate it

For the version 13.0.2.0 I used tge boot.img of the same fastboot ROM, I don't know if it would work with another boot.img honestly

Did you manage to get it done? Apparently you can extract the 13.0.4 boot.img from the roms payload.bin file but i couldn't get it done myself... Did you manage to root yours?

Dump boot and vbmeta partition patch in magisk app.
And flash boot partition with vbmeta using fastboot after that you can update magisk using magisk app

Of course unlocked..flash thailand rom first to use deeptest apk..deeptest is not available on indian rom, don't know about other region..then after flashing thailand rom with sp flash tool , use deeptest to unlcok..after unlocking bootloader you can return to your region rom by flashing with sp flash tool again.. bootloader will stay unlocked..
