Hi there,
I had Magisk and the Magisk manager on my S8 but after installing the latest firmware for my S8 I can not install the Magisk.zip anymore. SU and TWRP are working fine though. Does anyone knows how get magisk again on my Phone?
I found it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/guide-magisk-troubleshooting-t3641417
With SuperSU, most of the times you can simply use the full unroot option in the SuperSU app and let it restore your stock boot image, alternatively use the full unroot option and then flash the stock boot image before installing Magisk.
Device is Mi A1 (tissot).
To install permanently twrp, i need to flash magisk. But i already have it installed.
I'm thinking if i could flash the twrp installer zip, and after this, update magisk (via twrp), that is crucial to keep twrp.
Hey guys,
So I've got an A/B device which makes taking OTA updates tremendously easy. I've actually took OTA updates with Magisk installed no problem.
The tricky part is, I use Stock ROM in combination with a custom kernel, I have backups of the stock kernel but my question is hard to ask. I'll write as clear as I can so please bare with me...
I installed the vanilla stock rom, It comes with the stock kernel. What I did was, Patch the kernel with Magisk 19.3, took a backup of it and then installed a Custom kernel with Magisk retain script on it. So my Magisk 19.3 installation was intact. Now that v19.4 is going to be released soon, I will have to install the stock kernel back. So my question is - If I install v19.4 on my custom kernel and then revert to the stock kernel which has 19.3 installed, Will it cause any trouble to my modules or will it revert back to v19.3?
TIA for any answers.

I own a 6T, so yes I'm also in the A/B scene
I have a similar setup as yours, just I'm not using Custom Kernel.
AFAIK, it's best to install Magisk on Stock Boot Image. But IMO, if you upgrade to Magisk v19.4 from your current v19.3-patched boot image, I think you'll not be facing any issues. If you do face it, you can simply dirty flash the ROM zip & that'll help you out
And regarding that question, if you restore the stock kernel, you should re-flash Magisk v19.4 zip after restoring it to avoid any issues caused by incompatibilities.

Upgrading is not an issue for me
It's that the stock kernel backup has v19.3 installed on the boot image. Now that v.19.4 is going to be released soon, I will have to upgrade and when the OTA comes I will have to go back to my stock kernel with 19.3 installed, I just need to know if going from v19.4 to v19.3 will give me troubles.
Cheers.
Update - I just updated my Magisk Stable v19.3 to Beta v19.4 and then rebooted my phone so my Magisk is updated. Now, I restored the stock kernel with magisk v19.3 over the custom kernel with v19.4 beta and observed that my Magisk installation reverted back to v19.3. Nothing happened to the system or my modules. So I guess it safe to downgrade but I will never recommend doing that.
So there's the answer to my question and maybe yours...
Hi guys,
I am running Havoc OS and my phone isn't rooted but I would like to root it. I never rooted my phone, so I am not familiar with the process. I saw some patched boot images. Do they work with custom ROMs too, or do I need the stock ROM to use those images?
Just download and flash Magisk. Magisk is a root manager and also allows you to install Magisk modules which you might need sometimes (e.g. I use a module to enable Google ARCore).
Thank you for your help.
Hello everyone!
I just rooted my Galaxy A30 using Magisk. From what I have understood in my experience rooting this. This phone doesn't have a ramdisk so Magisk basically only boots when I do the recovery key combo. So I was wondering, Is it possible to install TWRP on this device since Magisk is basically hijacking the recovery to run. If it is possible, could someone guide me on how to install it while preserving Magisk?
Thanks in advance
The only way is installing TWRP via Odin. And then flash Magisk.zip
