So i was minding my own business then i notice "Magisk Manager" have red dot notification on it's icon upon opening there's update for "Magisk Manager" app and "Magisk" itself... so i decided to first Install the "Magisk Manager" update and it went real smooth
but when i try to update Magisk itsaid "Magisk Manager is Dead. Love live the Magisk app" then it ask me for Method
"Select and Patch file" or "Direct Install" now at this point idk what to do. I have at least done 3x Magisk update installation already it never ask me this option also when i try download root checker on playstore itsaid im rooted i just want to update Magisk should i patch my stock boot.img again or what??
For me this has been the case all this time for Magisk updates - I get that choice, and I choose 'direct install'. This time also I chose the same - 'direct install'. It got installed and prompted me to reboot.

You can try going to the Magisk GitHub and download the app and install it through file manager and try updating again. I did that accidentally and had no issues installing.

I have the app already but after they decided to merge Magisk Manager and Magisk in just one apps i can't update Magisk anymore also i have stock boot.img of my device that i have previously patched via Magisk so it's just unusual for Magisk Manager to ask me again ...

I downloaded the apk from GitHub and installed it over the updated one. I was able to do a direct update. I was just suggesting it. Couldn't hurt to try it.

Same here. Worked on Xiaomi Note 10 Pro (Tucana) with Android 10.
Did not work on Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G (Monet) with Android 11. (The phone booted into fastboot-mode, so I had to extract the original boot.img from an original ROM and flashed it via fastboot-command to get the phone back booting to system).

Can you tell more? How did you extract the boot.img? Did you get it from the newest Android full OTA? DId it just straight up work after flashing the new boot.img? I'm asumming it was an unpatched one, right?

How do I flash a ROM from bootloader? I am on Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (mido) and have the same issue. Device won't boot into anything except fastboot. I tried flashing recovery using fastboot flash recovery <reccovery>.img but it got stuck in bootloop again.

There isn't one, because there is no separate zip anymore:
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/releases/22000.html
Why?
I'm so confused.
I'm on Lineageos 17 on Oneplus 6
I used to install magisk with the zip and it went smoothly now I don't have the option anymore..
How can you do when you use OTA update?

Sorry, I skipped that part and when directly to the one saying you had to patch BOOT.IMG..

I understand that the 'Manager' now has become the 'App'. I also understand to just rename the '.apk' file to '.zip' to flash from an OTA update event. I also understand that the '.apk' now with this latest release has everything you need to install Magisk.
I have had Magisk already installed like this: https://ibb.co/gvPzDs7
So, after I updated, can I ask what do I do about the problem of 'update' indicating via the Magisk Home page on the App?
I mean now I have this: https://ibb.co/HXLCvLS
Just don't worry about it?
Thank-you for your help.

Magisk still consists of two parts, Magisk app and Magisk internals, they're now just distributed together.
What your screenshot shows is that you've now updated the app, but not yet the internals...
Do not update simply as the update is Device bricking.

I updated my magisk to version 22, and it looks ok, except for the bottom menu that disappeared, does anyone know where it went or is it a bug?

First of all, I have very limited android experience but I need too root my phone for the functionality of an app that's critical to my business. Anyways, I'm running a Moto x4 with Pie. I already installed magisk 17.3 and magisk manager 6.0.1 using twrp recovery following a tutorial on youtube. When opening the magisk manager, it asked me to update to 7.1.1, which I did. Then it told me that I needed at least v18.0 magisk to be able to run the new magisk manager. Am I able to update magisk by flashing the new zip version in twrp, or is another method required since a prior version is already installed? Is this how I would install all future versions of magisk that comes out? Is there anything that I should know before flashing? I really don't want to get stuck in a boot loop or brick the phone.... Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

First of all: backup! Then you can bootloop, brick (or not!) with no worries. Do it with twrp.
Download latest (beta) Magisk 19.0, flash it under twrp and be happy.
Just to add to the above....
Since you're already rooted you don't have to flash the zip in TWRP. Just go to the Magisk Manager Modules section, click the "+"-button and select the Magisk zip. When it's done, reboot and you're updated.

You could of course uninstall the incompatible Manager and reinstall the one that works with your Magisk version.
But, that's now besides the point.
A day when you learn something new is a good day. :good:
If you want to learn more, here's a trivia [emoji14]
Also install "Magisk Manager for Recovery Mode (mm)" module. Not promoting it, but I myself feel it's a good module that you need to have before playing with Magisk Modules
It allows you to manage Magisk Modules from TWRP itself. So next time you run into a bootloop, you know what to do

File is currently uploading (I made this thread in case someone is digging around.
I couldn't install it from TWRP for some reason, kept getting error 1. I went to the stock updater, picked "local install" with this zip file on the root of my storage, then it updated.
Right after updating, but prior to rebooting, I flashed the TWRP Installer as a Magisk Module, rebooted into recovery, and flashed Magisk in there.
I know you can flash Magisk right after an OTA then flash TWRP after it reboots, but if you called my luck bad, you'd be giving me too much credit.
Regardless, file is on it's way to the drive and I hope it was worth the time!

The only ones that can be installed from TWRP are the ones from Oneplusfirmware webpage. The downloaded ones from Updater app are marked as OTA , thus can only be installed with official updater app due to verification keys and all the stuff.
I'm wondering if there is any advantage to installing the update twice, so that it's on both slots?
This Walkthrough works with me perfectly
Updating from open beta 5 to open Beta 6 successfully
Rooted 20.1 & Twrp 72 no issues
Thanks a lot
1- uninstall Magisk modules.
2- install Oos stable/open beta with Settings > Local upgrade . DON'T reboot! (Must be newer than actual Oos you have installed allready on the phone)
3- open Magisk > downloads. Install TWRP A/B Retention Script. DON'T reboot.
4- go back in Magisk. Touch install. Choose (Install to inactive slot after' OTA)
5- reboot to system.
I was on 10.0.2 stable with Magisk Canary, twrp 3.3.1-72

This works like a charm. Just did it to install it to the other slot being slot a. I'm ocd so I like both slots flashed. Easy solution to not being able to flash it in twrp. I'm kind of curious why it won't flash in twrp though. Maybe something to do with the security patch

TWRP INSTALLER FOR REDMI 8
I want to share my tool for installing TWRP for Redmi 8.Tested on MIUI 11 Global 11.0.10.0 (PCNMIXM). Always take a backup of your data before doing this modifications. I'm not responsible if something went wrong and do it at your own risk!!!
About this tool:
Includes Official TWRP for Redmi 8
Includes ADB and Fastboot
Easy to Use
Files:
TWRP Installer for Redmi 8 - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682873743
Magisk Zip - https://magisk.me/zip/
How to Install TWRP & Root:
Unlock the Bootloader.
Connect your phone with USB cable and put the Magisk zip file to your internal or SD Card
Turn off your device and reboot into fastboot by pressing Vol down and Power button
Extract the TWRP installer zip file
Open TWRP_Installer.bat
Press Enter to proceed
Then press any key to install the TWRP and wait to finish
Press any key again , it will automatically boot into TWRP
Go to Install
Find the Magisk Zip File then flash

Notes:
You need to Flash the Magisk after you install the TWRP. So that it will not back to stock recovery and the TWRP is now your permanent recovery.
You can also change the TWRP that I use on this tool. Go to the installer folder and delete the recovery.img then paste the recovery that you want and rename it to "recovery.img"

So, after ahard reset tried again following yor guide, still not rooted, after that I flashed stock rom to have a clean install and tried the tutorial I posted using a stock boot image patched with magisk and still no root. Is it possible that I am having no luck and you managed to root yours because of different stock roms i.e. Global vs China or Russia roms?

Phone Model no : Samsung Galaxy S6 / SM-G920F
Security patch date: 01.10.2017
Android version: 7.0
Root status: Yes
Hey guys,
I rooted my phone several weeks ago for the first time via odin and everything went fine. I installed TWRP and Magisk and everything worked out.
Today I was trying to update Magisk from v20.x to v21.x with the inapp option, but now im stuck in a bootloop to download mode, screen says "Downloading... do not turn off target".
Even if I turn the phone off with Power + Home + Vol Down its just restarting right away and getting stuck in the same screen again.
Im still able to enter TWRP Recovery, but I dont know what to do to end the download mode problem when trying to start the phone.
I actually dont know/understand much about that stuff, so I dont know which other info I need to provide.
Is there something I could do without going through the whole flash/root process again?
should i try to delete magisk and install it again? if yes, how do i do it?
Help would be appreciated.

I don't know much about your device but if you can enter TWRP, it's not that bad. First what you can try is to download Magisk uninstaller and flash it in TWRP from USB.

I don't know much about your device but if you can enter TWRP, it's not that bad. First what you can try is to download Magisk uninstaller and flash it in TWRP from USB.

Looked like my device forum is pretty dead, which is why I asked the question here again. Thanks for the fast respone
Its probably not possible to just install a Magisk version again and overwrite the current one, probably need to uninstall first and then install it again?
There is a Magisk Module Uninstaller and a Magisk Uninstaller. Are those different things or just the same?

How to Uninstall Magisk From Android [2 Easiest Method]
Are you facing issues with Magisk? You can uninstall magisk from your phone with these simple and easy steps.
magiskmanager.com
Because the 2nd guide says in the end
Keep in Mind – Whenever you use TWRP as a method to uninstall Magisk, it is imperative to flash the Magisk Module Uninstaller Zip onto your device.
Does this mean I need to do the magisk module one first?
@n00btuber Do not trust those websites. They're in no way official and are just trying to get adc revenue from Magisk's popularity. If you're really unlucky they'll also provide you with malicious zips...
Only download stuff from John's GitHub:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk
If you need to uninstall Magisk use the uninstall zips from the above linked Github repo, and if you need to uninstall modules (but those will also be removed by the Magisk uninstaller) you can do that directly from TWRP:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/Magisk#hn_Uninstalldeletedisable_modules_from_recovery
A lot of times you can just flash another Magisk version over your installed one, but there are times where you do need to uninstall first. Since you have TWRP it can't really hurt to just try flashing whatever Magisk zip you want and it it doesn't work you can just use the uninstaller first.
One other thing to try would be the Canary release, mainly to see if you're affected by any bugs that is present in the current stable release but has been fixed upstream. You'll find the Canary app in the same Github link above.

Ok.
Was trying to use the uninstaller from his GitHub.
Trying to flash it leads to
"Updater process ended with ERROR:1
Error installing Zip file .....
Updating partition details"
So what to do now?
Trying to just flash any Magisk version to overwrite the current one leads to the same result.
I think it says Unsupported/Unknown image format
Your TWRP might be bugged/incompatible. I'd reflash your stock boot image and then patch the file manually (you'll find the instructions for that on GitHub as well).

But TWRP worked fine when installing magisk the first time, I even tried the same zip folder I used to install it back then, but it wont work anymore.

However, whats my stock boot image and how to reflash it? Cant find a guide for that on GitHub.
Would a Factory Reset wipe all Magisk stuff and my TWRP Partition as well?
Does anyone know what is going on between Magisk and Google? It seems Google has removed Magisk Manager from the Play Store AGAIN! What's more, I downloaded and installed the apk but when I try to use it to install the latest Magisk the install fails. Tried installing the Magisk zip via TWRP, and while it doesn't show any errors, I still don't have root.
Ok I really need some more help @Didgeridoohan
Meanwhile I tried to reinstall TWRP from within TWRP. There was no error so I think it should have worked, but didnt solve the problem.
As soon as I try to boot the system it directly boots download mode and gets stuck in it. The volume buttons wont work or do anything as they are supposed in download mode.
Im still able to get into TWRP, but I still dont know what to do to stop this crashed download mode that starts over and over again.
When trying to flash the magisk uninstall it states "cannot access /data", when trying to flash a magisk installer it states "unsupported/unknown image format"
I dont care about Magisk right now though, I can root and install magisk again as soon as im able to clear the download mode problem. I was just trying this because trying to update magisk from within magisk manager has caused this download mode problem to appear.
Just tell me please how to fix that or how to factory reset my phone so it is able to boot regular again.
Thank you

Sounds to me like you need to reflash your ROM, not TWRP. According to your OP, you're running Android 7, but it doesn't say if it is stock or a custom ROM.. If it is stock, then use Frija.exe to download the ROM and then flash th AP, BL and HOME_CSC md5 files with Odin. If it is a custom ROM, use TWRP to flash the ROM and gapps. DO NOT try to flash Magisk. Right now there seems to be a problem with Google disabling Magisk. Wait till it is resolved before attempting to get root.
@n00btuber Dirty flashing your ROM is most likely the way to go, just like described above.
But @lewmur, what do you mean by "Google disabling Magisk"? If you're talking about SafetyNet there are ways around that (and it doesn't affect root)...

I not talking about safety net. Look in Play Store for Magisk Manager. It is no longer there. And even if you download and install the apk, it won't install Magisk. Flashing Magisk from TWRP doesn't give root privileges. This just happened yesterday.

The Magisk Manager hasn't been on the Play Store for years... Edit: reference - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-the-magic-mask-for-android.3473445/post-72508849
Nothing of what you describe has anything to do with Google "disabling Magisk".

That 's my mistake. Play Store would put up a lot of "Magisk Manager" stuff, but I never really tried any of it because flashing Magisk would give me the Manager. But even that "stuff" no longer shows up.
Butt Magisk Manager still won't install Magisk. It will download the zip file, but when it attemps to install it, it get an error saying Unsupported/Unknown image format. If I flash it from TWRP, and then open Magisk Manager, it still says N/A under Installed for Magisk.

That will be an incompatibility between Magisk and your device and has nothing to do with Google (blame your OEM for doing weird stuff instead).
Thanks for the help guys, had to flash the ROM, now its working again.
Since upgrading LineageOS on my Moto G7 to Android 13 and Magisk to 25.2 I had to reinstall patched boot.img after every update. It was a bit of a PITA, but not painful enough to google if there's a solution for Magisk to survive the LineageOS update, like it did before. It worked just well enough for me.
After today's LineageOS update I was going to do all the usual stuff: download boot.img, patch, fastboot, flash and done. But there was an info about the new Magisk version. Updated to 26.1, patched my boot.img, rebooted to fastboot, flashed the patched image. But after the restart Magisk says it's not installed. I tried 2 more times, then downgraded Magisk back to 25.2, but it doesn't work any more - nothing happens after patching and flashing the patched image.
I checked the Magisk installation instruction, but there's nothing about changes in 26.1 What can I do to get Magisk work again?
Debug app did what regular Magisk could not:
Uninstalled Magisk app. Flashed the stock boot image. Installed Magisk debug app and patched boot.img. Flashed the patched file. Opened the debug app and finished the installation. Updated Magisk app and Magisk. It works now.
I have no idea why did the debug version succeed, where the regular one failed, but I'm happy it did
For me on Samsung S7 9.0 Pie NFE 2.2, after flashing the Rom clean, after configuring the phone, I go to TWRP and upload Magisk_26.1.zip and every time in the Magisk app it says "root is not installed" . I tried several times and each time the same, I found a solution, after flashing the NFE Rom clean, phone configuration, then installs the Magisk_26.1.apk application on the phone (I do not open Magisk), then I change Magisk_26.1.apk to Magisk_26.1.zip, go to TWRP and install the Magisk zip file, reboot and ? "root Magisk installed"
I can't find the debug version of the app. Where is it?

@da.killa I looked everywhere in the current Magisk GitHub Repo, but could not finde the debug version as an .apk file.
Could you share the direct Link to the Debug App?

Thank you so much! Sorry I didn't see it before.
And I can also confirm that using the Magisk debug app solves the problem. It worked for me on OnePlus 6 running LineageOS.
