I had Magisk v14.0 running on my phone, which was installed using the patched_boot.img method. I had the stock recovery, stock ROM and kernel. But... a Magisk module I wanted to install required me to update Magisk, which I did using the in-app updater. On rebooting, the phone hung with a pulsating Samsung logo. I left it overnight to ensure it wasn't just a very long boot up.
I have seen a number of threads with people with the same solution. A fix appears to be to flash the latest Magisk-uninstaller zip then move back to Magisk 14.0. In order to do this, I flashed TWRP after reading the official thread but didn't swipe right (step 9 of the official guide) to allow system modifications and I didn't install SuperSU. I figured this may interfere with Magisk's systemless root. I did immediately flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 after flashing TWRP but I was still stuck at the pulsating Samsung logo. Since flashing TWRP, I have tried uninstalling Magisk, flashing no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 and reinstalling v14.0, v15.3, or removing Magisk completely. Doing combinations of these in the various sequences as suggested by those who have solved the issue from reading this thread and similar ones.
Should I allow TWRP to modify the system by swiping right and try the steps above again?
Assuming it's my boot.img that's cuasing this, I have tried signing but boot image with Chainfire's .zip that's mentioned here but that zip stopped flashing with an unexpected error.
The last thing I tried was to flash the original unpatched boot.img via TWRP. This gave a boot loop initially but when I reflashed it and immediately flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0, it progressed a bit further but got stuck at the pulsating Samsung logo again.
This thread shows someone who fixed the issue by installing a custom kernel. I haven't tried that yet. Is this a good idea?
I would be very grateful if you can suggest a way to repair my phone.

Dont flash unpatched boot images using twrp
flash unpatched boot image or v14 boot image(that you made earlier) using pc ODIN/ any other prefered tool. Just flash the boot.img nothing else or you can use fastboot to only flash boot.img, it works 100% all times,after flashing it should boot normal
then make a new patched boot image for v15.3 from magisk app just as you made for v14 and flash using pc,then it should boot normally
many phones seem to show stuck at boot logo after moving from v14 to v15(especially v15.1 and v15.2) and also some some devices with f2fs storage seems working weirdly with audio mods.

I'm pretty sure that's one of the permutations I tried before but having just flashed those two zips again, after making sure any previous Magisk installations had been removed, I get the same result - stuck at the pulsating Samsung logo.
If someone can tell me what parts of the system the problematic in-app upgrade from v14.0 to v15.0 would have affected then I could perhaps have a better idea of what I need to fix to get my phone starting up again.

Have you tried flashing your stock boot image or even dirty flashing your entire system with ODIN (as suggested above)? Magisk only edits the boot image, nothing else.

Sorry, my mistake. I did flash boot.img via Odin. It was the original boot.img file that I fed into Magisk v14.0 so it could create patched_boot.img.tar that originally worked. I'm going to try that again now.

That's good to know, thanks. I do have the full system from sammobile from which I extracted boot.img, so could try that if the 'lighter touch' approaches fail.
UPDATE:
After using TWRP to uninstall Magisk v15.3, which restores the stock boot.img, the phone hangs with a pulsating Samsung logo.
Using Odin to flash boot.img.tar (which I extracted from stock ROM) in the AP slot, I get a different behaviour - a boot loop which shows the "Samsung Galaxy S7 | powered by android" screen momentarily before going black and repeating.
So, even with a stock boot.img (assuming I've got the correct .img, which I'm pretty sure I have) and that I flashed it correctly, again, I think I have) then there seems to be more going on than just a corrupted/incorrect boot.img.
What next? A dirty flash of the stock rom?

did you flash the previous v14 patched boot image again using ODIN? this should work
same boot loop problem prevailed on my s7 active and lenevo k8 and flashing the v14 patched boot image and then making new v15.3 boot image gave a perfectly working magisk, although my redmi 3 was showing same boot loop problem and i have to flash the stock rom ( used twrp to restore nandroid backup but boot loop was not solved )
It seems your lots of permutations and combinations have damaged post_fs config of the kernel so you have only option left is to dirty flash the ROM.

I don't seem to be able to find the patched_boot.img.tar that I used originally with Odin. I've checked a few different machines and on various SD cards but I only have the unpatched boot.img.

Then you need to flash the ROM , if you got another device then you can make a patched v15.3 image and flash it
I used another phone to created a patched_boot.img.tar for v15.3 and flashed that with Odin but that gave me a boot loop. Trying this again but flashing no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 afterwards allowed me to get to the pulsating Samsung logo. So giving up on this approach, I dirty flashed my stock ROM and this worked but I was left looking at a pulsating Samsung logo for a nerve-racking 5 mins or more.
Thank you everyone for your help. I have my phone booting up again!
Now I need to work out install the latest Magisk successfully. If I try using the patched_boot.img.tar method with v15.3 then I'm back to the pulsating Samsung logo. Again. Using TWRP to flash the v15.3 zip gives the pulsating Samsung logo. I did select 'Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity. I also tried again with a clean stock ROM install and flashed the v15.3 zip and no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0, as suggested by someone who'd successfully installed v15.3. I'm at a bit of a loss.
One clue, TWRP couldn't see the internal SD card data (iow /data). I wasn't able to check this option in the 'Mount' menu in TWRP either. I think this points to /data being encrypted. TWRP could see it yesterday, so perhaps I've inadvertently encrypted this. I was careful to uncheck 'Preserve force encryption' in Magisk Manager. I guess now that I've unbricked my phone, I should start another thread for this magisk install issue but any help or pointers to relevant threads that I may have missed would be great.
Thanks again for all your help.

As of OOS 9.5.10 you can boot twrp by fastboot, then sideload twrp into both slots and finally flash magisk which patches the boot.img itself. Thus no need for patched boot.img anymore.
Does this work for the global version??
Patched boot.img is a silly way of rooting... If someone uses the wrong boot.img for their version it will fail to boot. Plus, booting TWRP and flashing the magisk zip is faster and more reliable

The only difference between the global and the EU versions are supposed to be the LTE bands.

Sorry for asking but I wanna root mine as soon as it comes. So if you install TWRP and flash with magisk the OTAs won't be broken?

I get still offered OTAs by the system. However I prefer to use Oxygen Updater app from Play Store to download it and flash directly in TWRP.

Oh cool. So like "dirty flashing". Will magisk also get killed in the proccess? I'm not sure how A/B partitions work. Do you just install magisk from twrp or do you have to somehow install it on both partitions?

I seem to have lost my root after I did the update for 9.5.11 this morning
Here is what I did
I did as stated
Download update, Install, DO NOT REBOOT
Went to Magisk, unistalled all modules, then did OTA Install
Rebooted
Went to Magisk installed TWRP, but my phone froze at that point and the screen turned all white and just sat there
So I clicked on the power button and rebooted
Got back into my phone and checked to see if I was still rooted via root checker app and now it says I AM NOT ROOTED
What can I do to fix this I can launch Magisk, but now it says its is not installed on the screen, so I click install, download the ZIP option
It says Select Method, Download ZIP ONLY which I did or Select and Patch a File which I am not sure what file I need to use?
How can I get my root back on the phones
I am on NOW on 9.5.11 GM 1917
Thanks all

If you don't need TWRP, first booting it and flashing the zip takes way longer than "fastboot flash boot boot.img".

6T- https://otafsg1.h2os.com/patch/amaz..._41_OTA_061_all_1911200419_f2e12518eef8ae.zip
Found this today. File has a date of 11/20/19. I put in root and do manual update thru settings/update.
Magisk patched boot.img for the above 6T ROM.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DIoNvGG81IC6FdWiOgSRawG0-eAKUqBF
I had a boatload of bugs with the OB1. I have a 6T converted. Couldnt answer or make calls, reboots, freezes, crashes, WIFI didnt work, no pic messages, etc. I just tested for a second and I could make calls and wifi works. Do not try to install the Magisk patched boot.img. It will give the problems I had with OB1. I tried.
Def works a lot better. No freezes or reboots. My phone was useless on OB1 and I didn't want to flash back to 9 and lose my data. I had to forward my calls to another phone and wait for an updated ROM. But this def fixed a lot of the problems I encountered.
Edit: Still cant flashboot boot twrp.img.(3.3.1-1) Same error as before (failed remote unknown command)
Here's a bonus: Magisk patched boot.img for this OB2. Tested and verified root and no problems. Patched myself. For 6T. Extracted the boot.img from the payload.bin and patched.

What did you do to upgrade ? Actually i'm in OB1 Android 10 and Root with patched boot. So you upgrade with OTA or local upgrade ? You loose Root, and you put the new patched in adb? IS it ok?
Thanks

If you're rooted use the same method as always, use local update ( you don't have access to incremental update anyway as you are rooted) and BEFORE rebooting go in Magisk manager and install Magisk again but on other slot. You don't need to play with adb or fastboot.
@Striatum_bdr :
Thanks, so download the update, do local update and after juste install magisk on the other slot.

For now the right command is fastboot flash boot twrp mauronofrio.img version and then flash the installer zip through recovery.
It's a Oneplus's problem.
[EDIT 1]
After a few tries it worked! Now I try to install twrp (mauronofio version) and root the phone.
P.s. I'm trying to update (come form OB-1) I removed all magisk's modules, flashed magiks unistaller but the update with update manager keep failing...any idea?
[EDIT2]
ok, now I'm rooted and I've twrp but wifi doesn't work it's turn off automatically!
[EDIT3]
I've fix it! I've talked with mauronofrio and he said that it's due to flashing the twrp in the boot partition, so he suggested me two ways:
1. Root your device and flash the twrp installer using magisk manager
2. After the command fastboot flash boot twrp.img reboot in recovery, flash the stock boot.img flash twrp installer.zip and finally flash magisk.
I choosen the second way and it worked! Now I've OB_2, twrp, magisk and wifi connection.
Thx a lot for the links and Infos.
I have flashed it and it feels definitely smoother and I hope the random reboots are fixed.
From the changelog they should be.
Here is a small how to, how the upgrade from 10 to 10 ob2 went smooth. Also using this on every update.
1. Just use normal systen ota & let it install or Flash full OOS 10 zip via local update . (DO NOT REBOOT)
2a. Flash newest TWRP: fajita twrp 3.3.1-28.zip (or newer) by @mauronofrio via Magisk Manager (DO NOT REBOOT)
or 2b. go into magisk manager, search for a module called "twrp a/b retention script" Install it (DO NOT REBOOT)
3. Flash magisk to 2nd slot via MAgisk Manager (Magisk Manager → Tap on Install → Then select Install to Inactive Slot)
4. Reboot, wait and enjoy

Did they fix the extra blank space under navigation keyboard when type? Thanks

Anyone else having issues like the systems is getting slower animation is choppy and it just lag. I noticed it as well when playing games when that happens and it feels like i dont get as much framerates but a reboot of system fixed it for me. I thought by updating to ob2 it would fix this choppy feeling but its still there
I upgraded from OOS 10 Stable to OOS Beta 2 and all went on okay. No data lost.

I don't have this issue, but I do have the Bluetooth not working bug
Just curious if anyone has any insight as to whether I can use the Magisk app to patch the newest boot.img (12.5.1.0 global / Android 11 / mi9t pro) and whether it will go smoothly if I install it via fastboot flash boot patchedmagiskhere.img?
I just updated the device using the clean_all mode on MiFlash and everything looks to be working fine;
No TWRP or custom recovery installed
Bootloader in unlocked state
As the update is so new I just wanted to check if anyone had any experience before I go ahead. There's also the old method of flashing magisk as a .zip via TWRP which is now 'depreciated'. As the device says 'Ramdisk NO' it implies Magisk may need to be used in 'recovery mode' (i.e. patched recovery.img and vol+power on every boot) but it worked just fine in MIUI11 so I don't think that's right.
Update: If you've come here looking to find out how to do this then I added instructions in this post.
Can't find answers so I might try fastboot boot patched_magisk.img later today. In theory this'll let me test a patched boot.img instead of going in blind with fastboot flash boot patched_magisk.img so that the boot.img isn't flashed, just booted. If it works I assume I can probably just select Direct Install in Magisk.

Hey let me know if you find a solution for this.
I upgarded to this version via TWRP last night. Tried flashing Magisk via TWRP and it kept boot looping into TWRP.
Had to re-flash the rom again in order to boot into the system.
I tried patching the stock recovery image but couldn't get the system to boot into Magisk mode. Tried the Volume Up + Power and let go on splash screen combo but it kept going to stock recovery.
Any help would be appreciated. I'll go crazy having to use the phone without root.
Update: I tried what you mentioned. Manually booting patched boot image. No luck. After showing the MIUI logo for a long time it goes back to recovery. I guess it's basically the same as flashing via TWRP.

For Xiaomi, always patch BOOT img, not Recovery.
Do not tick Recovery option and flash to Boot partition.
Guides can be found elswhere
Important that you patch the boot img corresponding to your CURRENTLY using stock firmware (if you upgraded, you have to extract and patch its boot.img, not some older or from different Global vs Chinna or else)

Guides can be found elswhere
Important that you patch the boot img corresponding to your CURRENTLY using stock formware (if you upgraded, you have to extract and patch its boot.img, not some older or from different Global vs Chinna or else)

This is what I have always done (patching boot). However it does not seem to be working with v12.5.1.0
I've just tried the Canary build of Magisk as well and no luck. The MIUI splash screen stays on for a while and then it goes to Recovery.
This never happened with any of the previous ROMS (Android 10)
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

You may have modules installed and enabled, that do no more work with the new firmware
If you didn't wipe/format Data, modules are still in: /data/adb/modules
(updating firmware does not affect there)
Use TWRP, go to that folder and add an empty file named: disable
(exactly as that), to each subfolder (each subfolder corresponds to one module, you may recignize them by folder names)
Then reboot with the patched boot.img
Later, manage your modules (enable, uninstall, update) from Magisk app (once you successfully boot to Magisk)

You Sir are an absolute LIFE SAVER!!!!!!!
Thank you!
I also patched magisk just fine . Thanks guys for sharing your experiences; it kinda reassured me it'd probably work - I was thinking booting a patched magisk boot.img might be safer so I did that first and it booted as expected. So I just returned to fastboot and flashed it properly. Installed a few modules (the essentials; ACC, Energized, Busybox), rebooted, we're all good ^_^

I think it's already been explained above me but for anyone who hasn't figured it out yet:
Find the recovery zip or fastboot files you updated with (if you don't have them still then go here but use the *exact* region and version - if your device isn't raphael then don't use these), open with 7zip/winrar/whatever and copy the boot.img from them to any folder on your phone. Open Magisk Manager, browse for where you copied it to and patch it; recovery mode box unticked. Then look for Magisk_patched_xxx.img (xxx part being whatever Magisk called it) in your /Downloads folder on your phone. Copy it back to your PC, fire up Tiny ADB & Fastboot.
Do a test-run with fastboot boot Magisk_patched_xxx.img first. If it boots up fine and Magisk shows as working, commit the changes by returning to fastboot with adb reboot fastboot and then the command fastboot flash boot Magisk_patched_xxx.img. Then power it up.
If the temporary boot test-run didn't work, obviously don't execute the flash boot command; power-cycling the phone will get it unstuck.
I should probably note I don't have TWRP (using stock recovery) and I don't know how that factors into this. This was done the day after a clean_all fastboot flash; read previous posts if you've used Magisk previously and updated with your data intact.
I would like to add here to use the boot.img patch method. Flashing magisk as a zip through the recovery will cause a bootloop.
Tested this on my Mi 9T Pro (12.5.1 global) with system encryption enabled.

I was tempted to do the same because it's the conventional way of installing Magisk and it's how it's always been installed.
That and mucking with something called boot.img sounds like a one-way trip to brick-street. I.e. boot.img makes me think bootloader or in other words, bad news. Although from what I've heard it turns out you can completely screw up the boot.img and you should still have access fastboot and recovery modes. But I didn't run into any problems flashing a new boot.img so I didn't find out .

Men, patching the images is nothing new or exotic.
If you ever read Magisk guide from TJW (the aurhor of Magisk) you would well know that the method has been described there for many years (I personally used the method back since 2018 on other phones)
Besides, it has many practical advantages - if anything goes wrong you just flash the original (unpatched) image
Or, when Magisk updates (unfortunately, it does no more and who knows would it ever again, at least from the established channels like Stable or Canary), if there is a problem with the new Magisk - you just flash your previous version of img that was patched with the working version of Magisk and you are back in business
And there is also nothing impractical here - if you have proper TWRP (you do have for this phone) you don't need to flash the patched img from fastboot but simply from TWRP
You can also use TWRP backup boot.emmc.win instead of extracted boot.img - simply give boot.emmc.win to Magisk for patching (you don't need to rename it) and then flash it
So, guys, did the patched boot image worked for you? for me it did not boot up... :/

Of course it does work. But read carefully above. If you just upgraded without Factory reset, and if you had Magisk before, some modules (that remained installed to /data) may cause you the bootloop
And/or, you have to patch exactly the boot.img corresponding to your current firmware, not some from an older A10, etc
In such case, how do you remove the magisk modules after the update? Without root, there is no access to modules.

Why don't you read the previous messages in this thread - post #6
Or see:
zgfg said:
Yes, it was asked/answered several times but let it be answered again
Besides adb, there are two other ways of disabling (or even uninstalling) the remained modules
You have to flash your patched boot.img, then
a) Reboott to Android Safe mode, then reboot again to 'normal' mode.
All modules will be disabled but also you will have to re-enable Magisk Hide again
b) Use TWRP (if appropriate for your device), Advanced, File Manager, go to /data/adb/modules and to each folder (foder = module, you can recognize modules by folder names or by reading the textual file module.prop you will find inside) put a file that must be named: disable (exactly as that)

Download the full OTA for your phone, and from it, you can extract the boot.img.
Link for the OTA download and instructions on how to do it is provided here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-5-1-0-edit-yes-it-does.4299669/post-85271375
Please does someone upgraded succefully from 12.0.5.0 to 12.5.1.0 with root and without wiping data ?
If yes, how did you flashed the 12.5 ROM because TWRP recovery does no support MIUI 12.5 A11 encryption, so I guess flashing it from TWRP is not recomanded.
I am quite afraid to be forced to wipe everything and preserve root is mandatory for me so I did not tried to upgrade for now.
Thank you in advance.
Hi, i have a 11T (not the Pro version) and i unlocked it yesterday.
I want root it (like i did with my previous 9T), but it goes into bootloop.
My stock miui version is: 12.5.8.0(RKWEUXM). This are the operation i did:
- installed magisk 23 APK from the git page
- copied the boot image from the image of the same version (i also tried to extract the image from the payload)
- patched with magisk
- flashed in fastboot using fastboot flash boot_a patched_image.img and, after, fastboot flash boot_b patched_image.img
- reboot the phone.
If i flash again the original boot.img, of course bootloop disappear!
I also tried to boot in recovery mode for clean the magisk modules without success (but is a fresh install, i don't think that the restore from xiaomi cloud can copy also the magisk modules).
I don't understand why i'm the only one in the web that have this problem. Someone have idea of what i can try to do?
For now, i want try to keep the original recovery for install the OTA update, but if all doesn't work i'll try the twrp installation (i think with this recovery all problem will go away).
Thank you very much
Marco

I flashed too in recovery, i wrote wrong (now i edit my message).
I'll try your suggestion to rename the img, but in the previous Xiaomi i never did it and it worked .
Thank you very much

you need to use the correct boot.img this issue occurs when the boot.img is not correct according to the version of the ROM.
from where are you downloading the patched image?

With magisk canary it works!
I downloaded the image from here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/agate/stable/V12.5.8.0.RKWEUXM/
is the correct image.
I don't like the new implementations in canary version, but for now it worked only with this version.
I know you got it working already but I flashed mine with XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar and never done that whole "fastboot flash boot_a patched_image.img and, after, fastboot flash boot_b patched_image.img" thingy in ADB. It works no problem every time I do it after an update. I know you can install directly from Magisk after applying an OTA but I prefer this metod. Zygisk will be needet to get root on A12 though and it doesn't have Magisk hide which means I'll never get those banking apps to work anymore thill someone figures out a better method I'll wait with the A12 update. Just my two cents.

Hi man, I am wondering can I have the download address about that magisk canary build? I've been bootlooping just like you before.

Hi, the canary build is in the same place of the "normal" build in the official git page.
This is the direct link of the APK:

The main page is this: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk

It worked on my Xiaomi 11T(not pro version) with a magisk-canary-patch, now the bootloop has been gone and really appreciated for your kindness help.
