SuperSU vs Magisk install with TWRP for (dm-verity) - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hi, I want to install ArrowOS on my OnePlus 3T. Since I am a noob to CustomROMs I saw that when installing TWRP on OnePlus 3T there is an issue with dm-verity which can cause bootloop issue.
All of the install guides mention flashing SuperSU at time of TWRP installation to bypass dm-verity issue.
But since SuperSU project is now replaced with Magisk, should I flash SuperSU with my ROM installation then uninstall it and flash Magisk or should I flash Magisk instead of SuperSU from the get go, and will that cause any issues with dm-verity or bootloop.
Any help would be great. Thank you everyone.

Not able to update magisk

I need ur help plz. I have magisk 12.0 and supersu 2.82 installed on my op3t running latest oos. The problem is i can't update magisk because on image boot. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
If you want to update Magisk past v12 you're going to have to remove SuperSU. From v13.1 and onward there is no longer any SuperSU compatibility...
There's some info on how to switch in the Magisk installation and troubleshooting guide.

Booting to TWRP after flashing

Hello. I'm using a Zenfone 2 Z00A with the lastest LOS 14.1 at the time of this post.
I've been trying to install Magisk via flashing the .zip file in TWRP but everytime I flash it the phone doesn't boot to system but to the recovery. It only boots to the system if I flash the Magisk uninstaller
I flashed the su remove, uninstalled Xposed and tried to flash Magisk again but it keeps booting to TWRP. Same thing happening.
How do I solve this ? I just want to play Pokemon GO.
Thanks !

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

I have the same problem with magisk, after weekly update and after magisk installed, boot only TWRP. I tried with18.1 version but will not recognise. Boot image and Magisk 19.1 are in downloads but no success. Anyway, with this weekly update all people have loosen magisk, I have read in Xiaomi forum.

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.

Can i update magisk via twrp without having any problems ?

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.

K20 Pro China ROM Magisk Bootloop Problem

Read a similar problem from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-firmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647
I'm already unlocked and I was gonna stick with the China ROM for now, so I flashed Magisk. After an hour I noticed my root access WAS GONE. So tried restarting it and... bootloop! Magisk uninstaller fixed this BUT I want that Magisk. So I kept retrying... Fastboot, flash TWRP(another issue is TWRP wont stick no matter what it will be replaced by stock recovery), Install magisk, bootloop... Rinse and repeat.
I tried 2 methods installing Magisk. TWRP and the Boot Image Patching using boot.img from latest China ROM miui_RAPHAEL_V10.3.12.0.PFKCNXM_75ea367433_9.0.zip
Im running out of ideas, can anyone here help and share how they fixed it? Thanks!
you should change to Xiaomi EU rom, no issues with Magisk.
Try installing ver 18 or 18.1 magisk i had issues with ver 19 and up on pocof1. Also on pocof1 you had to install dfe (disable force encryption) and them twrp wouldnt be replaced with stock boot recovery. Also any update that comes when twrp is installed will rewrite it to stock recovery.
Wipe userdata/factory reset after installing magisk
I have the same issue and resolve it by install OrangeFox-R10.0_8-Stable & Magisk-v20.1.zip.
