magisk 20.1 causes bootloop to recovery! - Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe

i run china k20 pro on indian miui 11.01.0
i installed twrp -21 version
installing magisk 20 provides root access however magisk manager asks to something which results in bootloop to recovery
ignoring that request, the module i wanted to install [energized ] asks for updating to magisk 20.1 which also leads to bootloop to recovery.
is there anything to do ? or just wait for magisk 20.2 to be released and then try it
p.s installing magisk was the only way to prevent redmi recovery from overwriting twrp, i don't know if this has any importance

i'm in kinda similar situation ,
installed magisk v20.1 and everything went fine , but when trying to install viper4android it asked me do install busybox , i did it within magisk now it only boots to fastboot , to fix it and make it boot agian i used magisk_uninstaller.zip
boots fine now but can't install magisk again if i do that it will stuck on fastboot screen .
so for your case i suggest using magisk uninstaller.zip
but hope that some one help to install magisk agian

Dont install Viper4android via magisk. Just download the package and install in via TWRP. Use this guide

I have this exact problem right now but even with other versions of magisk, I encounter the same issue. Any suggestions?

Same problem here with magisk I guess it is a compatibly issue with MIUI 11

Yep, it's a MIUI11 issue and the reason I haven't shifted over to it. I suspect whatever release of magisk is in the pipeline will fix it provided it's been reported.
In the meanwhile I've read 19.4 works; you could try the canary builds if that seems to old for your liking... just be careful.

Had the same problem, its because of data encryption.
You guys need to format data before installing magisk.

Even with data formatting 20.1 causes issues: In fact, it seems latest Magisk build seems to be causing issues on all (or, many) builds of MIUI 11.
For k20 pro, 19.3/.4 seems smartest to install and then update via magisk manager
I believe other phones (mi 9?) need even older versions like 17.2, so I wouldn't be surprised if future updates continue to push the installation build back.

I'm hoping the Magisk situation gets fixed. I checked the Magisk support thread and only saw one post about a bootloop with a Mi9T Pro (again, likely data encryption) so I'm given the impression MIUI might be off the radar for Magisk bug fixes.
I've had a couple of issues with Magisk 20.1 on MIUI10 - nothing critical but a couple times Magisk Manager has frozen (i.e. kill the process, relaunch and it works) and a couple hangs when root apps have been launched for the first time (again, kill + relaunch, a few times if necessary). Smooth sailing otherwise but gives me the impression that Magisk isn't without flaws on MIUI. One response was to dump MIUI altogether but I'd rather have a stable hardware experience for now. I tested a lot of custom ROMs on my last device and based on that, I'd like to stick to MIUI for a while.
Out of curiousity what are the other bugs with MIUI11 aside from it not working with encryption?

Other than standard app compatibility issues, I haven't heard of any major MIUI11 bugs, which is fantastic to hear.

I have tried all sorts. MI9T MIUI 11.0.1.0 and magisk just causes recovery bootloop . Gonna try magisk 19.4 if thats a thing mentioned in a previous reply

I use Miui 11.0.3 together with Magisk. I used the following procedure:
1. Copy Magisk 20.1 (for twrp) to your internal storage (e.g. downloads)
2. Install Magisk via TWRP
3. Don't reboot (it will cause bootloop).
4. Do factory reset (it will remove your Data). Your bootloader will remain patched.
5. Reboot your phone, do initial config.
6. Install Magisk Manager and run it so you will see that Magisk is installed.
7. DON'T install additional files suggested by Magisk Manager (or you will end up in bootloop again)
8. Enjoy your rooted K20Pro!

I got the same problem on my k20 pro (with MIUI EU).I try driffent ways provided by magisk official but no one works.I have to flash the system. It's not a good idea for intalling V4A on this phone

Does your phone remain encrypted after you do these steps? I doubt...
For some reasons, I wanna keep my phone encrypted.

a question about flashing magisk

I have the latest hydrogen OS and unlocked bootloader , and i want to root my phone but i just wants to know if theres any other files I need to flash other than magisk.zip
Nope, just flash the latest magisk zip and it's done. But yes, you also have to install the Magisk Manager when you boot up after flashing the zip.
I installed the latest one that came out today and my phone took a crap! Phone became very laggy and would freeze and sometimes not even detect root. I had to restore my phone back to last weeks version.

Hm... Absolutely no issues on my OP3T, OOS 4.1.6 and Franco Kernel r25 with Magisk v13.1. Maybe you have a module causing issues (long shot, I know)?
No issues here with Open Beta 10, Stock Kernel, Magisk 13.1 and Manager 5.0.4.
Root is working, passes SafetyNet with all modules activated and properly hide root from my Banking App. All good!

Just Simple flash the Magisk v13.1 and install the latest magisk manager v5.0.4.
I feel you should flash magisk immediately, while flashing the ROM through custom recovery. Install magisk manager after first boot.
You can do a dirty flash without formatting anything to get rooted.

[SOLVED!] Can't install Magisk without bootloop

Scroll down over this post to see anwer!
Hey there! I just got my Xiaomi Mi8 from HK Goldway at Aliexpress. It came with its bootloader already unlocked and a Global ROM flashed.
I wanted to install Magisk but failed horribly . I've already done that to several phones (my last one was a Moto X Play, and it worked without major complications). But with this one, it seems I can't get past the bootlogo.
Stock Fastboot image used:
dipper_global_images_V9.5.13.0.OEAMIFA_20180714.0000.00_8.1_global
This is what I've tried so far:
First try
Flashed TWRP for Mi8 version 0711.
Flashed Magisk.
Got a bootloop.
Reflashed stock image via Fastboot.
Second try
Booted (not flashed) TWRP.
Tried to install latest global weekly from this thread.
Also got a bootloop.
Reflashed stock image via Fastboot.
Third try
I thought that those flashable ZIP firmwares were too small for them to be a full-fledged OS. So I went and downloaded this other one. Global version.
I read somewhere that I needed to format data before flashing a new image, so I did.
Booted TWRP.
Formated data (not Wipe)
Installed that ZIP from TWRP and booted correctly.
Booted TWRP again and flashed Magisk.
Got bootloop.
Back to stock image via fastboot.
Last try
Booted TWRP.
Formatted data.
Installed MIUI via TWRP.
Without rebooting, flashed Magisk and no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip.
This got past bootlogo ("Unlocked" message changed to "powered by Android") but got stuck there. Not booting at all.
Right now I'm back to the last try, booting MIUI successfully but without Magisk nor no-verity-opt-encrypt.
I kinda have no more ideas left. I understand this is a new device but I can't understand why people claim the have been able to install Magisk and I can't! Other thoughts were, maybe they were running MIUI 10 Beta and it only works with that version? I'm unsure about that.
Can someone lend me a hand? What am I missing?
Thank you!!
EDIT: FIX!
Over here, user @richardyusan helped me out with an extra step.
What I did:
Installed Magisk V16.7.
Installed DM-VERITY AND FORCED ENCRYPTION DISABLER.
Performed fastboot format userdata.
Rebooted.
And I got my phone booting with Magisk Installed!
Even though I couldn't install any module, (every install claimed I needed Magisk v15+). I read some threads and with a Magisk Direct re-install (from its app) I got Magisk downgraded to v16 and everything worked perfectly!
Hope this works out for everyone having this problem!
have you tried to use Magisk 16.4,

Thank you for the fast reply!
I followed that guide and tried these steps:
fastboot boot mi8-twrp-3.2.2.img
Unencrypted via Pattern
Flashed Magisk v16.4 + DM verity disabler file
Reboot
But I'm still stuck at "powered by Android" bootlogo.
Normally it boots within 5 seconds but now it's taking forever. I'll wait a few minutes to see what happens.
I'm attaching some screenshots of the install process.

Ok,
but if you install Magisk 16.4, don't install also DM verity disabler.
DM verity disabler is needed if you don't want to root (see poin 14 in the linked guide).
Hope it works...

If I only flash Magisk 16.4, then phone shows "Powered by Android" and instantly reboots into stock recovery.
Only way to get it back booting, is performing fastboot flash boot boot.img from stock dipper_global_images_V9.5.13.0.OEAMIFA_20180714.0000.00_8.1_global image
I read somewhere about official and unofficial bootloader unlock. I didn't unlock the bootloader myself. Maybe it has something to do with it?
PS: Anyone had any luck using Magisk with MIUI 9.5.13?
Did you try with a newer magisk version ? ... 16.7 was released 15 day ago
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
Direct link: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v16.7/Magisk-v16.7.zip
It´s a good practice to use magisk_uninstaller before flash new one if you had problems.

I just tried that. Uninstalling and re-installing v16.7. Although it seems now it's doing a few more steps, I'm still getting the recovery bootloop.

Exactly that. Maybe we'll need to wait for a supported Magisk version. I'm still wondering what's the difference between our Mi8's that some can get Magisk working and some not. ?
I am running Magisk stable and tmiui 10 from Xiaomi. Eu without any problems.
I have a Mi 8 se and i install the eu rom boot the phone , reboot to twrp wipe and factory reset and installed magisk 16.4 .this is how works for me
i have the same problem too..when using china stable rom 16.7 magisk can be installed successfully tried many times...
flashing global version seems to have this issue...
tried all this steps too but no luck in global rom...

Well maybe the critical step is to wipe everything, including System.
Did you Format anything instead of Wipe this last try?
Also, could you please share a link from that working MIUI rom?

I just checked and no. If I go to Google Settings -> Voice, Voice Match is disabled because "This feature is currently unavailable for this language". Even though it's set to English UK. Maybe there is some Magisk Module to enable it?

Magisk doesn't root :(

I use Magisk since years and my devices got always rooted after its installation, but today it's differenti ad you may see in the attached pic...
I've G8441 and I installed Lineage 16, I'd even like to have root access!
Waiting for your advices to solve my problem!
You need to give more details than that. What have you done and what was the result?
Take a look here:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHelp
I installed Magisk via TWRP, I can't provide any log but installation ended in the good way (no error) but Magisk is not installed.
I flashed Magisk before ROM and gapps, I rebooted after that and then I installed the rest (ROM and gapps).
That's still quite slim, information-wise...
But, if you flashed your ROM after Magisk there's a good chance that Magisk got overwritten with the stock ROM boot image. And if the LOS addon.d glitched (there's been issues with v2), you'd end up with no root.
Magisk goes last when installing.

It should not go to bootloop.
Even if it goes, there are couple of ways how to repair bootloop bcs of an errant module, without factory reset - from Magisk go to Github, scroll, open and read Magisk Wiki.
Easist, if you have TWRP, put a "disable" or "remove" (without quotes) empty file to /data/adb/modules/safetynet and reboot - Magisk will disable or uninstall that module.
Or, by booting to Android Safe mode and then rebooting to Android normal mode - all modules will be disabled.
There is also adb command to uninstall all Magisk modules while booting.
All documented in Wiki
It fully applies to the systemless modules (those that use Magisk systemless dynamic mounting instead of hard changing the system partitions) - that modules, when disabled or uninstalled (and rebooted), leave no changes on the system.
SafetyNet-fix is a proper systemless module

Mi9TPro update with twrp and root

Hi, currently my 9t pro has version 12.0.5 (Android 10).
I have root with magisk 25.2 and the twrp version is 3.5.2.9.0 (I point out that, every time I enter recovery, it asks me for the screen unlock pin, without which I cannot access).
I would like to upgrade to version 12.5.2.0 (Android 11).
Do I just boot into twrp, insert the lock screen pin, install the above update, wipe cache and dalvik, install the magisk zip and reboot?
Or am I obliged to update twrp when changing the Android version? The latest version of twrp released for my device seems to me to be 3.6.2.9.0
A thousand thanks

TWRP v3.6.2 should be ok with A10.
On the other side, A11 (AFAIK) will not work with v3.5.2.
Hence better update TWRP
The rest should work the way you descried, just make sure that you upgrade from Global to Global (or EEA to EEA, etc) - ie, not from Global to EEA or so (that would require flashing the Fastboot ROM)
You can also wipe from TWRP:
/data/system/package_cache
PS:
Disable/uninstall Smali Patcher or similar Magisk modules that were specific for the old ROM - to avoid bootloop upon upgrading the ROM and flashing Magisk (if you do not uninstall Magisk, all modules and everything will be back upon your upgrade)

Hence better update TWRP
The rest should work the way you descried, just make sure that you upgrade from Global to Global (or EEA to EEA, etc) - ie, not from Global to EEA or so (that would require flashing the Fastboot ROM)
You can also wipe from TWRP:
/data/system/package_cache
PS:
Disable/uninstall Smali Patcher or similar Magisk modules that were specific for the old ROM - to avoid bootloop upon upgrading the ROM and flashing Magisk (if you do not uninstall Magisk, all modules and everything will be back upon your upgrade)

Would you please explain to me how I can upgrade twrp from 3.5.2 to 3.6.2? I also have the official twrp app.
As for the magisk modules these are the ones I currently have installed. Do you think it is better to uninstall magisk directly before entering twrp and flash the new rom and magisk zip?

As usual - TWRP.me, download, find your device, download img and flash to Recovery (you can do from current TWRP or from Fastboot)
Maybe you better disable that liboencrypto module
Or you can try with but study Magisk GitHub Wiki, how to fix the bootloop caused by incompatible modules

The twrp update flash so I can do it directly from the application?
Instead, to avoid a possible bootloop just uninstall that module? Do all the others give problems?
Thank you.

I never use the TWRP app. Read instructions from TWRP.me
You can uninstall modules. But, plz read and LEARN (it's more useful for the future how to dožisable modules from TWRP - docs I pointed you in the previous post)
