Help Flashing same ROM to switch to Magisk Root

So i got a Xiaomi mi 5 running MIUI 8 Global, rooted with SuperSu and i also have the magisk manager with some modules installed, but the modules stopped working out of nowhere and when i try to uninstall magisk it doesnt uninstall for some reason, so i think im gonna clean the phone and install only magisk root, i'd like for someone to guide me on the right direction on keeping my data and stuff like that.
Thanks in advance

Backward switching magisk 19 (beta) -> 18 (stable) caused problem.

[Problem]
I noticed google pay not working after enjoying magisk happily for two days.
[Research]
I searched the forum and found many others have issue with google pay, too.
[Trial]
I started to do something with the hope to solve this problem.
1. I changed the update channel to beta test and installed magisk v19. Google pay was not working.
2. I then changed back to stable update channel to install magisk v18. Strange thing happened.
3. Phone booted fine but magisk manager detected no trace of magisk. I re-flashed patched_boot.img. Same thing, magisk was gone.
4. I am on stock ROM (S6 edge) and installed magisk by patching boot.img. I had no TWRP recovery. I could not do much under this circumstance.
5. So, I was in a situation of missing magisk and disabled google pay.
[Final]
I flashed the stock ROM via odin.
1. The google pay was working again in stock ROM (without root).
2. I lost magisk (and root).
I will install magisk again if google pay can work with it. The problem is the security check by google. I still hope there will be some work-around method.

You can never be certain that a dirty downgrade will work. You can of course try, but be prepared for trouble.
If I remember correctly, in this case, simply uninstalling the Manager and reinstalling the apk that comes bundled with v18.1 might have fixed things.

Suggestion for a custom non-MIUI ROM with working Google Pay and NOT using magisk

1. I don't want to root my phone.
2. I was using lineage 16 (up until 4 hours ago) but using some weird TWRP which can't decrypt internal storage. Seems the this custom TWRP includes sqlite.
3. Currently trying pixel experience but it seems this requires magisk to get Google Pay working.
Thanks

I tried setting an existing credit card in my google "wallet" and it keeps on saying "this may be because it is rooted or altered in some other way". i don't have magisk installed.
1. using this TWRP (this is the recommended one by the dev)
2. no magisk
3. using PE/Android 10 beta Oct-13 version
Thank you.

@mrjayviper I try 11.10 PE10 a few days ago and it was working for me. I afraid there is only stock miui with working gpay without Magisk. If you want use custom ROMs and Gpay you have to use Magisk to hide state of bootloader

Questions regarding updating Magisk

Hi everyone!
It's been about a year and a half since I first installed Magisk on my phone with TWRP and considering that I now noticed I'm getting SafenityNet API error, I wanted to update my Magisk to the latest version and install the Universal SafetyNet module as well to fix this issue.
I just have some questions regarding this:
I'm running Magisk Manager 7.5.1 & Magisk 20.4 repacked and with Magisk Hide, how can I update from Magisk 20.4 to Magisk 23? My phone shows 22.1 as the latest.
Before updating do I need to restore Magisk Manager to the original package and app names?
Will updating Magisk affect my already installed Modules or will they stay in effect?
I'm using a Xiaomi with Android 9 Pie and MIUI Global 11.0.5.0
Thanks in advance.

Maybe let Magisk Manager take you to v22.1, then you'll be one step away from v23.0 and hopefully at some point it becomes available. If upgrading to v22.1 succeeds you'll end up with one app that is Magisk SU and the manager all in one. I mention this in case you're wondering why Magisk Manager disappeared.
I don't understand what you mean about restoring Magisk Manager "to the original package and app names" but your modules should still work after upgrading. Worst case would be a module that didn't keep up with Magisk and isn't supported anymore.

Yes, you do. See the v22.0 release notes:

Ahh, the question makes sense now. I've never needed to conceal Magisk.

Thanks to both of you for the clarifications.
I will unhide/restore the manager and will install 22 before going onward to 23.

S20 FE - Android 12 Magisk and Pokemon Go Issues

Hello everybody i recently update to Android 12 One UI 4 in my S20 FE... and use magisk stable version (23)
Then in A12 magisk app installed but not rooted then in Frija discord server tell me magisk stable isn´t working on A12 what i need to have magisk working is using an alpha version on the A12 rom.
So i flashed the A12 and installed all normal with that.
But in alpha magisk versions the "Magisk Hide" function is gone replaced by Magisk Zygisk. so i say okay i hide the magisk detection over Pokemon Go and repack the magisk app.
But running pokemon go with this configuration it doesn´t let me sign in my account, i try google, facebook, trainers club and only still "Charging" and sends the message "An error ocurred trying sign in later" or something like that.
The point is i can play with magisk alpha and her Zygisk function.
Someone has A12 and Pokemon Go with root working correctly?
I would greatly appreciate your feedback.
