TWRP Backup fails - Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers

Hi!
I am on Lineage OS 16 RC4.
I tried multiple times to make a backup via TWRP but it always fails: createTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255
Backup failed. Cleaning Backup Folder
Any suggestions why this happens?
In the process of flashing Lineage and GAPPS, I installed the superuser Zip for getting root access. But Root-Checker tells me, my phone is not rooted. Is ist secure to try to flash the superuser Zip file simply again over a running system?
best regards!

Do yourself a favour and flash Magisk instead of superuser ZIP.

Magic v11 installation question

Hi, do i need install systemless SuperSU always in twrp before install magisk v11 if I want use new MagiskSU instead??
If I try install Magisk v11 with superSU uninstalled and phone unrooted TWRP give me error and installation fails and if I install superSU and after Magisk v11, Magisk manager say system is using SuperSU instead MagiskSU. How do I install Magisk with MagiskSU??
I have Samsung Galaxy S4 with optimized LineageOS 14.1
Read the pinned Magisk thread...
Unroot again using unSu by osm0sis (Google) before flashing magisk
Installation Instructions
If you're already rooted with MagiskSU, Magisk phh's superuser (not original), or Official Systemless SuperSU
Install/upgrade Magisk Manager from Play Store
Install/upgrade Magisk as prompted in the application
Reboot and you're done!!
If you're not rooted, or something went wrong and you need a clean start
(Recommended) Restore your boot image back to stock
Download the latest Magisk zip file
If you choose to use SuperSU (only support Android 6.0+), first flash SuperSU in systemless mode
Flash Magisk zip
Reboot, and update the stub Magisk Manager to the latest from Play Store

You need to FULLY unflash superSU using the zip that the other person told you to google.

Yeah that button doesn't work for systemless superSU. It doesn't roll back your boot.IMG like it should.
Worst case scenario, flash the stock boot.img and then flash magisk.
Thanks guys, I installed Magisk v11.1 with MagiskSU working, Magisk Hide enabled but I have CTS mismatch error now in Safetynet test. I guess I cant do nothing about this error. Optimized LineageOS 14.1 and Samsung Galaxy S4
EDIT: Finally I passed the Safetynet test (no CTS mismatch error) disabling ADB interface in developer options. Thanks for Magisk, amazing.

By disabling ADB interface, do you mean the USB debugging part? for some reason I am still getting Safetynet error.

What settings are you guys using in Magisk? I have disabled BusyBox, enabled Magisk Hide and systemless hosts. Superuser options are Access to "Apps and ADB" and Automatic Response set to prompt
I'm still having an issue installing Magisk on my phone with RAMROM V10. It gives me an ERROR 1.
It has been suggested that I should re-flash my boot.img with TWRP following the instruction:
Place your BOOT.img on your sdcard
Reboot into TWRP recovery
Tap "Install"
In the bottom right corner tap "Install Image"
Select your BOOT.img
Select the Boot Partition, then swipe to confirm Flash
However, when I follow the step, my TWRP cannot seem to find BOOT.IMG in my SD Card (I know it is there). What did I do wrong? Can anyone help?
i think the .img thingy is only for twrp.img files. You have to use another method to place your boot image like. -> make a backup of only your boot image via twrp backup function. Then duplicate that backup folder of twrp containing only the newly just regernated files, in the twrp folder. Then replace the su-modified boot file there with your original boot file, you obviously have to rename your boot image to fit the right name. (eg. with the logo image -> logo.bin changes to logo.emmc.win -> etc;.) Then use the twrp restore function to restore your "original" boot logo.
Hierarchy folder view would be like:
TWRP->folder 1 (original folder, in case something goes wrong)-> boot file and others
->folder 2 (our modified folder)-> files

FIY: Flashing regular boot.img files works just fine with "Install Image" in TWRP (of course, YMMV, depending on your device).

The boot image is a part of your device's software. It's what Magisk modifies to do it's thing. If the installer can't recognise it, there's not much you can do... Except providing logs, that is.
The update binary is a part of the installer. It's the script that modifies the boot image to install Magisk on your device.
When you have these kind of errors, save the recovery log after flashing the zip (Advanced -> Copy Log) and post that (attach it or use Pastebin or similar, don't copy it directly to the post). It's so much easier to troubleshoot with proper logs.
First thing you can try is to use the latest beta and see if that works.

That was a bit of a shady file sharing site. Anyway...
Your installed TWRP is pretty old. That might have something to do about it. Update TWRP, or you could try letting the Magisk Manager patch the boot image and then flash the patched image with TWRP. Installation instructions in the release thread.

Hm.... It might be that your TWRP is to old, but it should be the same procedure as when flashing a zip file except you switch to image flashing by pressing the "Image" button after going to the "Install" screen.
If that doesn't work, use fastboot (or whatever is available for your device).
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

So I did what u told me and flashed the boot.img succesfully. Now after flashing that, I flashed v14 and still error in executing update binary. Same with 14.5. But this time after I saw that, I rebooted my device and found magisk manager on my phone. It says v14 installed. Is it installed already?

Yes, if you flash the patched boot image you don't have to do anything else. The Magisk Manager has already taken care of everything.
If you want v14.5 beta, you should now be able to change the update channel (in Manager settings) to beta and update. Just as a FYI, you could have done this already when patching the boot image.
Sounds like it's working now, or? Can you install modules?

I installed an app and gave it root permission. It looks like it's working. However the module part, I'm still unsure. When I try to add modules, the screen took me in storage. Looks like it requires me to import something? Where can I download modules?

First of all, don't even mention that piece of piracy software on xda. It's used to steal from developers and is not allowed here.
In the "Modules" part you can manually install modules that you've previously downloaded. If you want to install directly from the Magisk repo, you (unsurprisingly ) go to the "Downloads" section of the Manager. If you can't see "Downloads", make sure the Manager has internet access.

Error installing zip file '/sdcard/MAGISK/Magisk-v16.0.zip'

Good evening from Spain.
I tried to flash Magisk onto my SM-J530F (Samsung Galaxy J5 2017) but not successfully.
Here's the log:

Consider that I did the following:
- Flashed stock rom (J530FXXU2ARB3_J530FPHE2ARB3_PHE.zip content)
- Flashed "CF-Auto-Root-j5y17lte-j5y17ltexx-smj530f.tar" in Download mode via Odin, to root and install SuperSU, since it's needed
for flashing TWRP to avoid any bootloop.
- Flashed TWRP.
- Since I already have TWRP, I tried to uninstall SuperSU from the very app, in Options > Full unroot but gave "Uninstallation error", so then I tried to uninstall SuperSU by flashing "UPDATE-unSU.zip" on TWRP.
- Once that is done, I tried to flash "Magisk-v16.0.zip" and it throwed the log I've above mentioned.
- Since it says: "! Boot image patched by other programs.
! Please restore stock boot image", I rebooted it onto Download Mode, and flashed ONLY the BL (bootloader/boot) slot. Came back to TWRP, I flashed again "Magisk-v16.0.zip" but still have the same problem.
Hope there's any solution to install Magisk onto my SM-J530F. Thank you.
Your issue is that the boot image still is patched by SuperSU. Until you restore the stock boot image you won't be able to install Magisk.

Edit: I don't do Samsung, but from what I remember, you might need to flash AP (or something like that).

Hi, I have the same problem of error 1 while trying to install Magisk from TWRP.
I looked everywere and they say that it is related to a boot image that have to be reinstalled. I did that and no luck, I tryed with boot.img, no working, I even restored ALL the ROM Stock from Samsung ( AP, BL, CP and CSC) and it is not working. I dont know what to do anyware...
Regeet the time was easy to root Samsung with CF autoRoot,
I tried that and ask me to restore all thephone, so still no root??
Some can help please??
Thx

That would work, but you should be able to open it directly with pretty much any text editor as well. If you're going to post the log text directly, please at least use HIDE tags...
So here what I just did:
I wanted to do a last try to get that error 1 msg and get the repport directly to publicate it here...
So I decide to go to a clean basis. So,
1- Install all the stock ROM with odin. I choose the Home_CSC
Was another just CSC without Home, dont know exactly which one I had to choose, I choose Home_CSC.
2- Turn the fone off
3- Turn it back to download mode
4- Install the TWRP recovery, and I did not reboot.
5- Turn off the fone.
6- Turn on to recovery mode.
7- Format the data (yes)
8- Reboot to Recovery mode.
9- Install Magisk!
AT MY BIG SURPRISE I DID NOT GET ANY ERROR MSG!!! The installation finished without error!
So I continued...
10- install No verity
11- install SuperUS 2.82
13- Reboot the phone.
I was thinking that the root was ok, now I have a new pb. When I tryed to verify with Root Checker, it says no root. When I entered the app, it said BINARY OCCUPIED.
So any suggestion?

Say what...? You've misunderstood something, somewhere. Use Magisk OR SuperSU. Magisk is it's own root solution...
Are you by any chance using some old and outdates guides? Previously you could use SuperSU with Magisk, but that has not been the case since v13.0, well over a year ago, and MagiskSU has been around since v11.0, introduced a year and a half ago.

The root management app for Magisk/MagiskSU is the Magisk Manager. SuperSU and it's accompanying app is a whole different root solution (that has been sold by @Chainfire and seemingly abandoned by it's new owners).
Magisk usually takes care of dm-verity itself, so there shouldn't be any need for an extra no-verity zip. Sometimes it is needed, but I would skip it until you've tried using Magisk only. If you don't know, dm-verity is used by Android to determine if your device has been tampered with. If you wan't to root your device (tampering), you usually have to disable dm-verity or the device won't boot at all.
If you want root with Magisk, do your list again, but skip step 10 and 11. If it doesn't boot after that, go back to TWRP and flash the no-verity zip.

If you want root with Magisk, do your list again, but skip step 10 and 11. If it doesn't boot after that, go back to TWRP and flash the no-verity zip.

I just repeated all the procedure, this time just with Magisk, like you said. its installation finished without any error.
I just tryed ROOT Checker, any I finally have the root on my fone!! Thanx you very much for the support, and the explanation.
Can I use Backup/Restoration with TWRP knowing that I rooted with Magisk??

Great to hear! :good:
You can use TWRP without any issues. Magisk has no impact on it and TWRP has it's own su.

Thx you one more time. Going to install some of my app and configure my new fone then do a backup, for a clean restoration in some months...
I have a problem for the Backup with TWRP. When I want to do a Backup, I get this msg:
failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
I ve looked on google to fix it, the solution I found is to change data to ext2, then back to ext4.
The pb is that it is removing everything from my phone?
Anyone is having the same issue??

Your issue is that the boot image still is patched by SuperSU. Until you restore the stock boot image you won't be able to install Magisk.

Edit: I don't do Samsung, but from what I remember, you might need to flash AP (or something like that).

Hi, i am rooting samsung a5 a520w. I am following the steps in the instructions (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-to/guide-root-install-twrp-samsung-t3747535).
Now I met a problem like this:
! Boot image patched by other programs!
! Please restore stock boot image
Updater process ended with ERROR:1
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/MagiskManager/Magisk-v17.1.zip'
I have no idea where is the boot.img located. All documents in the external card is:
RMM-State_Bypass;
no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0;
Magisk_17.1
@imcn001 Your answer is in the link from the post you quoted.

Hey my dude follow these steps, in twrp select wipe->format data (You'll lose all your files) now try flash the rom, you should find a custom kernel for your device as well and install it after the rom. If the Kernel doesnt install magisk now would be a good time to do it :highfive:

This isn't necessary. Just extract boot.img from whatever rom.zip you're using, flash that in recovery, reboot to recovery again and magisk should install.

3.2.2 worked for me.
In my case unmounting all the partitions fixed it for me, the boot.img method didn't work.

I was having the same issue... After hours of research I finely managed to fix it. Try the following:
1 - Install TWRP (I also had the 3.5.0_9 version).
2 - Format data and wipe all the advanced options possible.
3 - Download the program "payload_dumper-win64".
3.1 - Following the payload dumper instructions, I've copied the payload.bin from my custom ROM to the payload_input folder.
3.2 - Execute payload_dumper.exe and wait, a lot!
3.3 - Copy the resulted files (boot.img, system.img, vendor.img) in to the phone.
4 - In TWRP, go to install, select from images, and, one by one, install the images you've just copied.
4.1 - Note that during the install process, you will have to select the correct "slots" to flash the images. In my case, there where to options for system and vendor. I've chosen the "System Image" and "Vendor Image" option.
5 - Restart.
That's it! I didn't had to change slots nor wipe data after the installation... I don't know if this was the correct approach, but after many tries this is what worked for me
Sorry about my bad english...
Sometimes it is caused due to corrupted file. While transferring file through MTP it is likely to corrupt large files. I had the same problem. Then I tried copying file while in TWRP (sure it is also MTP) and it worked.

It's legit procedure. Also you don't need to manage slots here, caz recovery automatically does that for you.
Hello guys, i'm from Russia, sorry for my bad English. I using Poco X3 Pro, and i have some troubles. I wanted to install custom firmware. First ROM
delivered successfully, unlike the second. After clearing all sections except sd cart and otg, I tried to install the original MIUI build, but it didn't work. I downloaded the original MIUI, but still. When installing, it says: "Update process ended with ERROR: 1" The methods from the top didn't help, please help!
