I've let the MagiskManager upgrade Magisk from 14.x to 1.50. Then I rebooted the phone, and then it was stuck at the pulsating SAMSUNG logo.
So, next step would be obvious: get into TWRP and install Magisk 14.0.
And so I did, and so it failed. This time I got a bootloop. The "Galaxy S7 powered by Android" thing appears for a few seconds, and then vibrates and starts over. And over, and over, and over.
So then, I "installed" the Magisk Uninstaller. Thinking to get rid of all traces of Magisk that introduced this problem in the first place.
So I did, and now I'm back at the first problem: stuck at booting.
Then installing Magisk 14 AND wiping cache&dalvik: boot loop
Then I installed the uninstaller again, then Magisk 15, and wipe the cache&dalvik. And it's back at being stuck while booting again.
Brilliant. What do I do to fix this?
Are you using a custom ROM, or a port ROM, or a custom kernel?
It's all stock, except for it being rooted.
I'm having the same issue. Canadian S7 W8, Stock ROM with root, Magisk 14, upgraded to 15 using direct install through magisk manager.
Yes, exactly that. No offense, but that's helping neither yourself nor me nor anyone else. Have you been able to figure anything out?
Maybe how to produce some kind of log output?...
Same thing happened to me just now. Never would have thought that upgrading through the Magisk app would cause this. I've tried all of the above and have also tried installing v 12.0 but still no dice.
I even tried a factory reset and still no dice. This is seriously infuriating.
Guess I will have to reflash everything and start fresh. If anyone else has any other ideas I'm all ears.
I'd like to know what the phone is actually *doing* when it's stuck. How can we get to know this?
`fastboot logcat` and `adb logcat` both keep waiting for a device that will not connect. Something does connect, christ knows what, but certainly no adb or fastboot device.
@fattyspecial
"reflash everything and start fresh" can you explain what exactly this comprises? What should I do?

Mate 8 running 7.0 stock except rooted, running Magisk 14, did the same thing and I'm in the same boat. Have also tried removing magisk, reinstalling 14 no dice. Have not factory reset yet (trying everything else before that step) but it looks like it won't help.

Completely reflash the entire stock rom with ODIN and then re-root and reconfigure my entire phone. About the biggest bother imaginable.
I'm trying to re-flash only a new boot.img (or new kernel) through twrp right now. If I can get that to work I'll let you know right away.

FIXED IT!
Ok here's what I did. Maybe not a perfect solution but I am out of bootloop and phone is working and root is working too.
I had to install a custom kernel. I'm guessing this replaces the corrupted boot.img file. So you will need to be rooted and have a custom recovery like TWRP.
Go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/kernel-tgpkernel-t3462897 and scroll down to the part that says: DOWNLOAD VIA ANDROIDFILEHOST for N version and download the zip file.
Transfer the TGPKernel zip to your external SD card (either with android file transfer if on mac like me or with an SD card reader).
Flash the zip in TWRP.
It will take a LONG time to reboot. Don't worry.
I chose to install root with Magisk and it ended up updating it to v15.0 and so far everything seems to be working well.
Hope this helps. That took a long time to figure out. Time for bed.
Ok, I'm still not in that loop... yet.
Ok, I'm still not in that loop... yet.
I selected installing the 15.0 Magisk zip file (from 14.0) using direct install, then did the reboot and I'm stuck at the pulsating SAMSUNG logo.
Can I do the same fix of fattyspecial without loosing anything on the S7?
I did the exact Magisk 15.0 zip update on my LG Nexus 5, with no problem, in less than a minute.
I'm still not in that loop... yet.

If you can' t solve download Magisk Uninstaller https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4370032&d=1514240372
and Magisk 14.0 https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4264532&d=1504713887
Then reboot in Twrp (hope you have it) and flash
1 uninstaller
2 14.0
I had the magisk 14.5 and I installed the 15 via twrp on top, and it updated normal. Is there a problem updating this way?
@fattyspecial
I don't see why installing a custom kernel is a viable fix. Or a good idea. It seems random.
Maybe you can explain why this is a fix, and how the stock kernel makes the phone bootloop?
@Tribal123
I think you will find I've already tried it. I appreciate your contribution, but please do read my topic start.
Same here, updated from v14 to v15 and got a nice bootloop.
Huawei Mate 8 with Nougat (stock) and TWRP.
EDIT:
Solved!
Flashed my stock boot.img backup through TWRP, then booted my phone and downloaded v14, flashed v14 through TWRP, booted my phone again and downloaded v15 with Magisk Manager app and checked "Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity" and then tapped "Install" using "Direct Install (recommended)"

Because a custom kernel disables dm-verity. There's an issue, mainly on Samsung devices, with the dm-verity detection in Magisk v15.0. It's under investigation...
Meanwhile, flash a dm-verity disabler together with Magisk v15.0 and you should be good to go.
I'm fairly certain you need a custom kernel. I'm also on the S7 and without one I've always boot looped, I think it has to do with dm-verity.
EDIT: I didn't notice there was a second page so I guess I didn't really say anything new, oh well, sorry!

Hello,
Here is the problem I personnaly had (solved now !) :
Initially, my wife had a G930F (samsung galaxy S7) and a Custom 7.0 rom (i think it was the "AlexNDR.G930FXXU2DRAG" rom...but I'm not sure at all because it was installed several months ago or even years) with TWRP as recovery and Magisk as root.
I saw that Magisk not working (since when ? I don't know because it was not my phone). So, I tried to update it via the Magisk application (the initial goal was to use then Titanium Backup).
Logically, the phone then rebooted to install the Magisk update... except that a Boot Loop appeared.
I then tried many things :
1° Downgrade or Upgrade the TWRP recovery to 3.0.0.0; to 3.2.2.0 and to 3.5.2.9.0 (thes recovery .img files are here: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/herolte/)
=> It didn't work, and the bootloop continued (but, at the end, i keep the TWRP v.3.5.2.9.0)
2° I tried to uninstall and reinstall Magisk
(cf. the "Custom Recovery" tuto here : https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root)
=> Failure. Still the BootLoop... (either with the .zip v19.1 or the .zip v23)
nb: I even tried to donwload other magisk files but still the same bootloop (cf.https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/collection-of-magisk-modules-v2.3575758/page-13#post-72542167)
4° I tried to change the kernel by using TGPKernel (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...2-30-tgpkernel-v6-15-5-3-18-140-esd2.3462897/)
=> Failure, the bootloop remained...
5° Finally, I found a solution :
a° I downloaded the rom "G930FXXU2DRAG_DevBase_v4.6.zip" (via the following tutorial here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...vbase-v7-4-encryption-support-jul-10.3592914/)
, more exactly at the following location : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850489124
b° Then, as indicated in the tuto (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...vbase-v7-4-encryption-support-jul-10.3592914/), I renamed the .zip downloaded on my PC to "G930FXXU2DRAG_DevBase_v4.6_rescue.zip" (ps: so, i add "..._rescue.zip)
c° After that, I copied the file "G930FXXU2DRAG_DevBase_v4.6_rescue.zip" on my micro SD.
d° In the recovery I finally installed the file "G930FXXU2DRAG_DevBase_v4.6_rescue.zip" and the phone restarted after a long time (or maybe 5 minutes, I didn't watch).
=> End of the bootloop and all data was preserved!!!

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.

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!

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

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?
Thanks, followed these steps and it got magisk going on the recent global release. Only difference was i had to use fastboot erase userdata.

Upgraded Magisk to 7.2 - get error, "Unsupported Magisk Version"
trying to upgrade to 19.x manually, but all guides say, "Then go open Magisk on your phone", which I can't do.
If I downgrade to 6.x, I cannot upgrade to 19.x. So what to do?
Apologies if this has been addressed, but I cannot find a solution
With your old version of Magisk and Manager installed, download the the update and flash it manually from the modules section (the "+" button).

did that, and ended up in a boot loop.
It would seem that with version 6.x, (or anything lower than 7.x), you can't upgrade to 18.x or higher. I tried this 2-3x and same result. Had to flash old patched_boot.img and was back where I started.
The Manager version shouldn't really matter when installing like that (it is a known working solution for your exact problem). You might have a module acting up and causing issues. Might be a good idea to uninstall Magisk and start out clean.
Booting TWRP and flashing the Magisk zip there could also be a thing to try.

I tried again, and it worked
1. I downgraded to 6.1 and when prompted to reboot, I just closed, and restarted.
2. I then upgraded to 18.1. Again, when prompted to reboot, I closed and then restarted manually.
There seems to be a bug with regard to rebooting straight from upgrading.
It's only a bug if you can consistently reproduce it, and preferably provide logs showing it happening. Until then it was just gremlins...
Some days ago I got a brand new XZ2c (single sim) and from the past I know that this forum is the place to go for guides for rooting and for custom roms :good:

[RECOVERY][Android 8 / 9][Stock/Custom ROM][XZ2/c/p, XZ3] TWRP 3.3.1-0 [UNofficial] https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...recovery-twrp-3-2-2-0-touch-recovery-t3821597 and for sure all tools I dl from the links from the guide
btw. my goal is the eXistenZ Pie rom and of course root
1. Update to newest stock firmware before unlocking!!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don´t know if it was a "fault" but I unlocked with the firmware with which I got the phone and it was the firmware before the latest one
so at my first rooting try I did no update to the latest firmware, but at all further tries I flashed the newest firmware 52.0.A.8.131 for my country and provider (H8314 Mobilkom A1, it´s for Austria)
I did every step from this guide:
2. FASTBOOT
(Optional; If you modify the system or need the camerafix.zip)fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
3. TWRP
Advanced menu -> "Install recovery ramdisk" -> Choose twrp.img
4. Reboot into installed TWRP
5. TWRP
(Optional; Root Part 1/2) Flash Magisk 19.4 or newer
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
booting into twrp never was a problem and also every time I did the fastboot command with the ...vbmeta.img (don´t know if this is still necessary but I did)
6. Reboot into SYSTEM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and here is always the same and first problem: a boot loop, so I rebooted into recovery: fix boot loop
after this no problem to boot into system and everything is working fine but no root (Magisk and root checker)
7. (Optional; Root Part 2/2) Install the official Magisk App to gain root.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
after I installed this it shows me:
1) Magisk is not installed (new version 19.3)
2) a newer version of the app is available (7.3.2)
sure I updated both the app and installed from twrp the 19.3 zip but still no success (again boot loop and fixed the loop from twrp)
I tried the complete procedure a lot of times, always with flashtool flashed the latest firmware, booted into system, than twrp a.s.o., I tried some solutions from this forum like patching the twrp directly with Magisk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74368287&postcount=23 but no success
at least I tried to install SU but also no root
...I have no idea what I should try next so I hope you have some advices?
Same problem for me.. maybe it has to do with the drm?

Magisk 19.3 is the issue, use 18.1 stable, or 19.4 beta

:good:
1st try with 19.3 beta and its done, also first magisk version without boot loop - so much time wasted and so easy solution (if you know it)
...I am so happy, you don´t believe!
only one question: why is at the twrp dl location in the "package" where all the files in (linked in the twrp thread) a magisk version which is not working on xz2c?

I did bundle 18.1 which should work and linked now 19.4 beta, which should work too.
Which bundled version didn't worked exactly?

it was 18.1 also I tried a 14.x which was an advise in another thread with similar problems (boot loop) and the "new" 19.3
...so at least I tried with 3 different Magisk versions and thought the "failure" has to be an other reason, but I was wrong - I am only wondering that it seems nobody else had problems with the 18.1, I was not only searching in this forum also tried to find solutions with G, found some threads with the boot loop problem but close to nothing with rooting problems

At least 19.4 works at your side [emoji14]
That's the best case of possibilities
Hopefully someone can help me out here:
I'm on Mi 9T (davinici) with xiaomi.eu-cROM 12.1.2 (Stable) and OrangeFox Beta R11.0 Recovery. Bootloader is obviously unlocked.
I followed the guide for Magisk v22.0 and installed the apk first, opened it and it says
"Ramdisk No"
Alright, so I have to patch the recovery.img.
In Orangefox Recovery I open the Terminal and extract recovery.img with
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery.img
Reboot to system and I chose "Install" in Magisk, "Recovery Mode" is already selected, click "Next" and I select the newly created file "recovery.img". Magisk does it's thing and I have "magisk_patched_cOdEy.img" in my Download folder which I pull with adb.
I reboot to fastboot mode and
Code:
fastboot flash recovery magisk_patched_cOdEy.img
which works w/o problems and reboot again.
But when I open Magisk it still says it's not installed.
So, I check the guide under Magisk in Recovery, where it gets really confusing, but from what I got is that I need to start the phone with recovery button combo (Power+VolUp for Mi 9T) pushed and release at splash screen so Magisk is activated. I try this multiple times since it's really hard with the timing (milliseconds too long it kicks me into fastboot mode. idk why).
Can someone figure out what went wrong/what I did wrong? Never had problems with earlier Magisk versions.
Follow up question: There's some warning about going back to stock recovery will brick your phone in installation. Does that include installing OrangeFox again? I'm 95% sure it doesn't, but would be nice to know before I do it.
Some Xiaomi devices have their bootloaders set up so that it will accept an initramfs that was manually added to the boot image. Therefore, on these devices you'll need to patch the boot image even though there's no ramdisk. Try that.

Can I reinstall OrangeFox or TWRP recovery then?
I'll report back, when I tried it.
edit: So this actually works and I was able to enter TWRP recovery again after flashing.
edit 2: Now WiFi is not working anymore. fml.
edit 3: For anyone stumbling over this thread. Nothing worked, I had to do a compelte wipe and then flash Magisk "the old way", by renaming the .apk into a .zip and flashing it in recovery. That did the trick without any probems and I'm rooted now after quite a hassle.
yeah, I stumbled upon it. And I'm having the same/a very similar issue. I was very happy with Magisk up to v22 when the problems began.
I'm still at DerpFest based on Android 9.0 (from 2019 ) and TWRP-3.4.0.0.I had Magisk running since it was 19.4, upgraded it multiple times already. So didn't think much about updating to 22. Then, it said the same: no ramdisk. Pitty. OK, so I went ahead and let Magisk patch the TWRP.img I still got on my phone and flashed the patched TWRP onto recovery. Upon booting, Magisk is there, but no wifi, no sound, no light sensor, ... LTE works, though .
Anyways, I just want to get my old setup back, so I thought, I just flash the original TWRP again. According to the Magisk documentation, if I don't press any button, it should boot to Android without Magisk. Well, it always boots into Android+Magisk disregarding that. If I flash the original TWRP.img back, I always end up in TWRP. So, the order is: boot.img -> magisk-modified-recovery.img -> (boot.img?) -> system. How can I get the behaviour Magisk advertises?
And yes, I tried uninstalling Magisk (via uninstall.zip meythod), which said it would uninstall, but actually didn't. I also flashed different boot images (a backup I had in TWRP, the original boot.img I've found in the DerpFest zip...) to no avail.
So, Immortal68, which of the many wipes one can do did result in the old behaviour? And: now that you have Magisk22, does it say "Ramdisk: yes" again?
