I've just gotten my new fi Motorola x4 running Android 8.1.0 today. I've unlocked the boot loader via Motorola and I've rooted the device via Magisk. Since I had the Xposed framework on my old phone and loved some of the modules I wanted it on my new phone. Downloaded the Xposed Installed from the playstore, gave it root access with Magisk and attempted to install the framework. Phone is now stuck in a bootloop and it's been alternating between the androidone and motorola screens for about 45 minutes.
I tried to flash xposed-uninstaller-20180117-arm64.zip but got an error that it couldn't mount /system. Another page on the net had me holding down the power button and then spamming it ten times to tell Xposed no to load but that didn't seem to do anything at all. I created a disabled file as suggested on some sites but that did nothing to stop the bootloop:
touch /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/disabled
I actually had to make the /conf directory manually since it wasn't there. Wiped the cache with no better results. Factory reset did nothing to improve the situation and I was unsuccessful with sideloading the Xposed disabler found here:
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/xposed-101-temporarily-disable-xposed-fix-bootloop-0179446/
It's hard for me to grasp how a completely empty barebones android phone which has only been rooted using Magisk with no other actions taken or software installed can be be stuck in a bootloop trying to perform a standard install using the Xposed installer. Not sure you can find a cleaner environment than the one on my phone.
Anyway if anyone has thought I'd love to hear them. I can boot to TWRP without issue and my phone is visible to both fastboot and adb.
Thank you!
Laugh this is just getting worse. I uninstalled Magisk and now the phone boots straight into recovery whenever I restart it. I'd flash a stock rom but I can't find one. I think I'm in trouble...
Reinstalled Magisk and it at least tries to boot up again but it just loops.

In summary:
Step 1: Download the flasheable zip file from the Magisk module uninstaller from the following link to the PC
Step 2: Send the zip file to the SD card of the phones or to the internal memory using MTP (most of the recovery of TWRP is compatible with this method)
Step 3: Now, touch the Install button and choose the Zip file of the uninstaller of the Magisk module that you want to update.
Step 4: After the completion of the installation. Go back to the TWRP home page.
Step 5: Tap the advanced option from the TWRP homepage. Choose the terminal option now.
Step 6: Type uninmod in the terminal box and touch the input button.
Step 7: Now, you can see the list of Modules and you have to type the Number you want to uninstall (Check the screenshot below)
Step 8: Finally, the magisk module will be completely uninstalled.

Ok good, I got scared for you a bit there, my post was not meant to be mean spirited but maybe you read it as such. As far as the bootloop i'm afraid i'll be no help.
So I've the following Problem. I updated Magisk from 16.7 to 17.1/17.3 (tried both) and also the Manager from 5.3.8 to 6.1.something. I simply can't for the heck of it downgrade it again to 16.7. I've one and only one issue with 17.1+, my phone won't detect any SIM, the only fix I've at hand is to use the stock update.zip from my ZTE Blade L7 to revert it and get my SIM to work, boot into recovery and apply update from SD card. So atm it's either, have root but no SIM or have no root but a working SIM. I tried the following:
- Install magisk16.7.zip from stockrecovery, gives me zip autentification error.
- Flash the magisk16.7.zip via fastboot, gives me the target didn't report max downloadsize error. I've OEM unlocked and USB debugging enabled, also, flashing the patched_boot.img via fastboot works everytime.
- Rename the magisk16.7.zip to magisk16.7.apk and install it, gives me a parsing error.
- Access the apk from within the magisk16.7.zip and extract and run it. It showes me the Magisk Icon and it seems to be about to install normally like any other app but it stops and says "magisk Manager not installed".
I don't have access to costum recoveries like twrp etc, because the ZTE Blade L7 isn't supported anywhere. With such costum recoveries I could disable the zip verfication check I guess. Also rooting it with other methods won't work either, for example kingroot.
Also what's weird is, when I uninstall magisk manager 6.1. for another attempt and install the older 5.3.8 wich I had with magisk 16.7, the manager gives me no other option but to update to 6.1 again, it won't let me install 16.7 wich I have on my SD and when I update the manager to 6.1, then I only have the option to install magisk 17.1 or 17.3 as zip. I can't patch the stock boot.img beforehand. It's realy confusing. Also I'm not 100% certain but is it correct that you've to use the corresponding manager for the right magisk version? So, magisk manager 5.3.8 for magisk 16.7, mm 6.1. for m 17.1+ and so on?
Magisk is cool and good, it's the only way of rooting my ZTE Blade L7 it seems, I hope topjonwu fixes this SIM detection bug soon or somebody gives me a simple method to downgrade.
update:
I'm still trying to find a solution. It seems the reason behind the SIM issue is that when I flash the patched boot.img my IMEI gets messed up. I tried to find some way to restore/edit the IMEI, but to no success. Also another method would be to install a costum ROM like lineageos, but this doesn't work for my ZTE Blade L7 aswell. This entire thing is sure a hard nut to crack, I already put too many hours into this. Please somebody help me, I can't be the only one with this SIM error when using Magisk 17.1/17.3
second update:
Installed the brand new magisk 18 today, SIM error persists. Checked the IMEI, weirdly, IMEI for SIM1 is not aviable but SIM2 got it correct, yet when I try to select any SIM in settings they're both greyed out (I put the SIM in the corresponding slot). What I noticed aswell was, when magisk is installed and mobile starts anew, my SIM gets detected and works normally, but if I reboot only once it's bugged again and no matter how often I reboot it won't detect it again. Also, I installed cwm, flashed the costum recovery for zte blade (zte blade L7 isn't supported and this was the only similiar sounding option) from within the cwm rom manager while beeing rooted, bootet into recovery from cwm rom manager but to no success, I still have the stock recovery. Intention was to install magisk16.7.zip from a costum recovery. I'm going nuts with this! Please, I just want a rooted mobile that works. Just an info for other zte Blade L7 owners, you get into recovery from:
power key + volume up > zte logo shows onscreen tap power key once > android guy on screen hold power key + tap volume up once.
To make my SIM work again I installed the stock zte update.zip from recovery. Somebody please help, if you search for "magisk no SIM" you'll find some results regarding this problem but there isn't any solution.
third update:
So I've given up for now. It's too complicated, I don't have that much time and I realy need this mobile to make calls/use the 3G for internet. It's my only stable internet connection. I'm too afraid to damage this mobile irepeairable. It seems when I flash the patched_boot.img with magisk 17 and higher something's gets done wrong with the modem/baseband settings. You can erase modemst1.bin and modemst2.bin via fastboot and do such things, but that can make things much worse. Can't backup and restore efs partition, can't install costum recoveries, can't flash modem.bin files, yet alone find the right .bin. This sucks. Magisk is the only method to root a ZTE Blade L7 it seems. Or compile a twrp recovery your own, but that's way over my head. Mods can you please rename the thread title to "Magisk 17.1 and higher no functioning SIM, how to downgrade to 16.7?" Since the v.18 came out recently. Thank you topjonwu and xda board.
Hi,
I need some help
Today I successfully installed the newest stable Xiaomi.eu-ROM on my finally unlocked Mi8, using TWRP from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-1110-t3869729
TWRP is working flawlessly, but I didn't succeed in making root with Magisk to work.
What I did:
- I booted into TWRP
- formatted data
- rebooted back into TWRP
- flashed DM-verity disabler from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
- flashed Magisk v18.0 right after from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
- wiped dalvik cache
- rebooted the phone
But everytime I did it, I didn't had root access (checked with Root Checker app) when the phone finally booted up to MIUI 10.1.2.0 (PEACNFI).
I even didn't have Magisk Manager showed up.
Can you tell me what I did wrong? I don't have a clue
Thanks a lot and best regards
Mischa
what does magisk manager tell you about your magisk installation status?
Strange thing...
After I rebooted the phone, there was no Magisk Manager nor the phone was rooted, what I checked with Root Checker app.
Then I used it a couple minutes before it became really laggy. My chosen theme disappeared back to stock theme, scrolling was nearly impossible and the screen went black.
I was not able to wake up the display again, so I held down the power button a couple seconds until the phone rebooted.
Now I saw that the Magisk Manager was installed, without me doing anything else than rebooting after the phone got unusable.
Weird, right? I read that there might be lags after installing Magisk, but that it's going to be like that was surprising.
Anyway, I have root now, TWRP works, Magisk v18 is installed. Now I only have to find some must-have-modules, e.g. like stereo-mod.
BTW, could it be that Netflix isn't working on rooted phones? I always get error 14 saying that the Netflix-service is not reachable even though I have internet connection.
hey dude i know this isnt a guide
but i followed your kind of direction after spending the whole afternoon and few hours in the evening to figure how to root this phone and finally it worked (so far)
thanks a lot my man
and i didnt even format after flashing twrp i hope it didnt **** up my phone
I've rooted my fire HD 10 (2017). I've installed TWRP and a stock amazon rom (with Magick install, OTA) from here. I installed gapps etc. Its been working great, but I've not been able to get netflix to work becuase of SafetyNet. So I installed a Safetynet bypass module using the MagickManager.
It seemed to install fine. Asked for a reboot and now is stuck on the silver Amazon logo. I booted into TWRP and rebooted, because that seemed to solve a boot problem I had before when I was installing everything. But no joy.
I'm not sure what I can do with TWRP to diagnose the problem. Any pointers on what I can do to diagnose the issue? Is it a partition issue? I'm fairly handy with linux and familiar with computer boot processes, but this is my fire android tablet so I'm not sure what to check. Seem like a bootloader issue?
I use netflix on mine without passing safetyNet. I have used SafetyNet patch and didn't have an issue. I am however on a custom rom. But regardless you can uninstall magisk, reboot then install it again. I suspect your issues are with the stock rom.... (i also download the netflix app from netflix - see link below)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
There is also MM for recovery mode that you can disable modules but i couldnt find anything for mm 20.0+...

Netflix - https://help.netflix.com/en/node/57688
Worked a treat. The thread you linked to on the recovery for Magick had some info on deleting installed modules using TWRP.
It started fine after that.
I messed around with the Netflix problem and I found turning off F.lux actually solved the video issue I was having. Weird.

Hey guys,
I rooted my phone several weeks ago for the first time via odin and everything went fine. I installed TWRP and Magisk and everything worked out.
Today I was trying to update Magisk from v20.x to v21.x with the inapp option, but now im stuck in a bootloop to download mode, screen says "Downloading... do not turn off target".
Even if I turn the phone off with Power + Home + Vol Down its just restarting right away and getting stuck in the same screen again.
Im still able to enter TWRP Recovery, but I dont know what to do to end the download mode problem when trying to start the phone.
I actually dont know/understand much about that stuff, so I dont know which other info I need to provide.
Is there something I could do without going through the whole flash/root process again?
should i try to delete magisk and install it again? if yes, how do i do it?
Help would be appreciated.

I don't know much about your device but if you can enter TWRP, it's not that bad. First what you can try is to download Magisk uninstaller and flash it in TWRP from USB. However, I don't know what can you do to update Magisk safely. Would be best if you can check your device forum or ask the question there

Looked like my device forum is pretty dead, which is why I asked the question here again. Thanks for the fast respone
Its probably not possible to just install a Magisk version again and overwrite the current one, probably need to uninstall first and then install it again?
There is a Magisk Module Uninstaller and a Magisk Uninstaller. Are those different things or just the same?
How to Uninstall Magisk Module Using TWRP Recovery | MagiskRoot

How to Uninstall Magisk From Android [2 Easiest Method]
Are you facing issues with Magisk? You can uninstall magisk from your phone with these simple and easy steps.
magiskmanager.com
Because the 2nd guide says in the end
Keep in Mind – Whenever you use TWRP as a method to uninstall Magisk, it is imperative to flash the Magisk Module Uninstaller Zip onto your device.
Does this mean I need to do the magisk module one first?
@n00btuber Do not trust those websites. They're in no way official and are just trying to get adc revenue from Magisk's popularity. If you're really unlucky they'll also provide you with malicious zips...
Only download stuff from John's GitHub:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk
If you need to uninstall Magisk use the uninstall zips from the above linked Github repo, and if you need to uninstall modules (but those will also be removed by the Magisk uninstaller) you can do that directly from TWRP:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/Magisk#hn_Uninstalldeletedisable_modules_from_recovery
A lot of times you can just flash another Magisk version over your installed one, but there are times where you do need to uninstall first. Since you have TWRP it can't really hurt to just try flashing whatever Magisk zip you want and it it doesn't work you can just use the uninstaller first.
One other thing to try would be the Canary release, mainly to see if you're affected by any bugs that is present in the current stable release but has been fixed upstream. You'll find the Canary app in the same Github link above.

Ok.
Was trying to use the uninstaller from his GitHub.
Trying to flash it leads to
"Updater process ended with ERROR:1
Error installing Zip file .....
Updating partition details"
So what to do now?
Trying to just flash any Magisk version to overwrite the current one leads to the same result.
I think it says Unsupported/Unknown image format
Your TWRP might be bugged/incompatible. I'd reflash your stock boot image and then patch the file manually (you'll find the instructions for that on GitHub as well).

But TWRP worked fine when installing magisk the first time, I even tried the same zip folder I used to install it back then, but it wont work anymore.

Would a Factory Reset wipe all Magisk stuff and my TWRP Partition as well?
Does anyone know what is going on between Magisk and Google? It seems Google has removed Magisk Manager from the Play Store AGAIN! What's more, I downloaded and installed the apk but when I try to use it to install the latest Magisk the install fails. Tried installing the Magisk zip via TWRP, and while it doesn't show any errors, I still don't have root.
Ok I really need some more help @Didgeridoohan
Meanwhile I tried to reinstall TWRP from within TWRP. There was no error so I think it should have worked, but didnt solve the problem.
As soon as I try to boot the system it directly boots download mode and gets stuck in it. The volume buttons wont work or do anything as they are supposed in download mode.
Im still able to get into TWRP, but I still dont know what to do to stop this crashed download mode that starts over and over again.
When trying to flash the magisk uninstall it states "cannot access /data", when trying to flash a magisk installer it states "unsupported/unknown image format"
I dont care about Magisk right now though, I can root and install magisk again as soon as im able to clear the download mode problem. I was just trying this because trying to update magisk from within magisk manager has caused this download mode problem to appear.
Just tell me please how to fix that or how to factory reset my phone so it is able to boot regular again.
Thank you

Sounds to me like you need to reflash your ROM, not TWRP. According to your OP, you're running Android 7, but it doesn't say if it is stock or a custom ROM.. If it is stock, then use Frija.exe to download the ROM and then flash th AP, BL and HOME_CSC md5 files with Odin. If it is a custom ROM, use TWRP to flash the ROM and gapps. DO NOT try to flash Magisk. Right now there seems to be a problem with Google disabling Magisk. Wait till it is resolved before attempting to get root.
@n00btuber Dirty flashing your ROM is most likely the way to go, just like described above.
But @lewmur, what do you mean by "Google disabling Magisk"? If you're talking about SafetyNet there are ways around that (and it doesn't affect root)...

I not talking about safety net. Look in Play Store for Magisk Manager. It is no longer there. And even if you download and install the apk, it won't install Magisk. Flashing Magisk from TWRP doesn't give root privileges. This just happened yesterday.

That 's my mistake. Play Store would put up a lot of "Magisk Manager" stuff, but I never really tried any of it because flashing Magisk would give me the Manager. But even that "stuff" no longer shows up.
Butt Magisk Manager still won't install Magisk. It will download the zip file, but when it attemps to install it, it get an error saying Unsupported/Unknown image format. If I flash it from TWRP, and then open Magisk Manager, it still says N/A under Installed for Magisk.

That will be an incompatibility between Magisk and your device and has nothing to do with Google (blame your OEM for doing weird stuff instead).
Thanks for the help guys, had to flash the ROM, now its working again.
