Magisk and Orange Fox - Magisk

How do i install Magisk in Recovery Mode without loosing Orange Fox Custom Recovery? Since patching it with Magisk App former Magisk Manager does not work it destroyes it. Can i have both Magisk and Orange Fox in recovery partition or not?

burger menu in orange fox -> magisk. there is options to disable modules, delete magisk + more. the app would not work good here.
if magisk is gone in orangefox install of again.

That does not work at all. It says magisk is installed but it is not working. Because acording to the Magisk app it is a SAR No Ramdisk device. And i should install Magisk into the Stock Recovery Img by Patching It thorough the Magisk App. And not into the Boot Img like Orange Fox Is doing. That is why i am asking how to have booth. So i do not have to replace Orange Fox recovery with the Magisk patched Stock Recovery so i am asking if there is a way to install Magisk into Orange Fox or A version of Orange Fox with built in Magisk or a way to turn a SAR No Ramdisk device into one With a Ramdisk to install Magisk Normaly And have it work.

Have you tried simply patching the Orange Fox recovery image? No guarantee it'll work, but if you desperately need to keep it installed it's worth a shot, no?

Yes, i did try it. The patching destroyed the Orange Fox recovery. When i tried to boot to the Magisk App Patched Orange Fox recovery or Magisk itself there was only a black screen for a moment before the mobile rebooted to System. It acted as if the recovery was missing or just gone. I tried later paching booth Orange Fox recovery and Boot img and ended in a Boot Loop. Rad to replace booth through fastboot to get out of it. So that approach does not work as far as i know.

Then you're just gonna have to choose between Magisk and Orange Fox... Whenever you need it you should be able to boot Orange Fox through fastboot boot <filename>.img though.

no need to patch anything
i have OFox and installed magisk just by renaming magisk.apk to .zip

That did not work for me at all first. That is why i was asking here about it. Since Magisk can be installed in either in the Boot Img or the Recovery Img. It turned out that the answer for me was this tool: YaAlex3 Arm32 Sar Boot Image Patcher

It prepatched my Stock Boot Img to make it boot the Ramdisk like a normal Ramdisk Enabled device which mine is not would. Then i could install magisk normaly into the prepached Boot Img and have it work normaly. The problem i had was that the magisk was installed but the device did not boot it so the Magisk Manager later Magisk App did not detect any magisk running so i said that it was not instaled.

Hello folks, can someone please tell me how to get/ install the "Fox Addons" (Magisk)? Couldn't find it in the Orange fox official website

magisk doesn't apply when flashing

Hello guys,
I made an update in TWRP and installed Havoc 2.4 to try it. After 1 hour I restored my backup and changed back to MIUI. I couldn't log in, so I cleaned the keyfiles to set a new pin.
I reflashed new Beta (25.4 MIUI - Xiaomi.eu) ROM and Magisk but root does not apply on my device... What is wrong? Seems that it's not possible to root anymore... Its does not give me any fails when installing the magisk 18.1 zip in TWRP...
thanks in advance
Have you tried a simple reboot? Usually it takes a reboot more to apply.
no it's not that. now its always booting into twrp when I try to flash magisk

Extract the boot.image from the rom and place it in your downloads folder.
Now with Magisk Manager , download and install Magisk to that boot image
Magisk will write root to the boot.image file and then will automatically flash the the updated boot image, and restart to system >>> Issue resolved.
I fixed it by wiping data... now its working

Nope, no issues on my Mi 8. Here is the trick. When updating do not flash Magisk until you out have booted into the system and ran updates and deleted cache and trash, then reboot to recovery and flash Magisk.
If the method that I described before in the previous post doesn't work, then unpack the boot image from the update and flash it to boot in recovery then flash Magisk Canary debug.
I have been doing this for every weekly update using the beta ROM.
I had an issue just once that was resolved by flashing SuperSu, booting to system confirming root, then reboot to recovery and removing Su, flashing the boot and Magisk Canary

Man has found the guilty in Xiaomi.eu/community.
It is not Magisk, but Viper 4.2. I have flashed Magisk, after reboot again in recovery and wanted to flash version 4.1. It was uninstalled, have no Viper, but Magisk is installed ?

I no longer use Viper because my phone has 1 speaker and for me Ainur Sauren works pretty well for all sounds.
For listening to music I have the Pro version of Power amp which has every wanted option such as dynamic compression, dynamic EQ, convolution reverb, limiting , tag editing, visualizations etc, I bought it 5 years ago for $3. Best 3 bucks that I ever spent!
Seriously, I can't recommend Poweramp highly enough, its worth its weight in gold.

Lost Root - After Magisk Update

There was an update to magisk and after installing it I lost root. I used magisk manager to download it and install it. I still have magisk manager. Is this common when updating?
When I try to flash the patched boot image, I am just stuck on the google "G" boot screen forever.

Normally, right after updating magisk manager you open it back up and there is an indication that magisk needs to now be updated as well. You click it and choose "direct install".

Ramdisk yes or not for magisk?

Hi all, the new magisk 24.1 installing only patching boot or recovery imgs depending if phone has ramdisk or not.
Magisk says that mi9lite has no ramdisk so must be installed into recovery partition. but is really magisk installed in recovery?
Is this phone an exception? Because I have many times updated twrp but magisk didnt need to be reflashed.
I think it has ramdisk. Even when magisk says it has not. If I remember correctly when I got my phone back in december '19, magisk showed ramdisk: yes.
Two weeks ago I clean flashed the lastest xiaomi-eu stable, installed magisk through twrp (renaming magisk.apk to magisk.zip) and is working just fine. (for me at least)
Thanks I think same
I can confirm that mi 9 lite (pyxis) does have ramdisk.
Just flashed LineageOS 18.1 20220303 build, downloaded latest Magisk v24.3.apk from github, renamed it to .zip and flashed it via TWRP 3.6.1_9-0.
Added safetynet-fix in Magisk and all the checks pass, playstore is certified and banking apps etc. work.
My device has a ramdisk omg file on firmware but magisk says no ramdisk

Flashing Magisk with TWRP without ramdisk?

Hello everyone, i am new here
I know from the official guides of Magisk that you can NOT flash Magisk from recovery or use a custom recovery if you have no ramdisk(if i understood correctly) and that you must patch your recovery and flash it back to the phone using Odin or other flashing software..
So there are this indian videos showing how they rename Magisk.apk to Magisk.zip and flash it from TWRP and its successful even tho Magisk clearly showes "ramdisk: no"...most of the videos use Magisk V22.0
So my question is it really possible to flash Magisk.zip (obtained by renaming Magisk.apk) from recovery(TWRP) without having ramdisk? Has something changef and the developers forgot to update the official guides??
For reference here is one video in English doing that
Magisk works fine ramdisk=no. However I noticed when you set a pin and reboot the TWRP pin shows preboot and does not work to log in. I'm wondering if magisk patched the TWRP recovery instead of stock recovery would this work? Because of this issue I have had to flash several times. I'm using the Cherish GSI and everything works great except the pin issue.

SM-G970F Magisk says I have a ramdisk: yes = can't patch recovery.img

Hi y'all,
I had thought that my XZ1C was a pain to root, but apparently... Thanks in advance everyone.
I installed LOS 20 to my Samsung S10E without rooting it before. Now I would like to patch the compatible TWRP recovery with Magisk 26.1, and then flash it so I can has root.
Problem: Magisk 26.1 app says I have a ramdisk. So when I want to patch a file, it does not give me the option to "patch to recovery" (sorry, the formulation might be off).
I think going back to stock would allow Magisk to understand that "ramdisk: no", but I am not sure, and I would like not to have to redo everything from the start.
Anyone has a magisk patched TWRP recovery.img on hand please ?
Thank you very much.
