Install Magisk on Android 12 (Motorola Lake) - Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers

i upgraded my Lineage from A11 to A12 last weekend. So far so good.
But I still need (want) to get root back.
As far as I understand it I need to get the boot.img for the phone which should be in one of the install files for the rom.
And that is where it stalls for me...
Have any of you been able to install Magisk on the G7 Plus with android 12?

The process is very straight forward;
Use a Custom Recovery you like/have and flash the Magisk file (you need to rename it to a .zip from the .apk) and done.
It worked for me with default recovery from LineageOS and TWRP.

Any link for patched and flashed boot image with Magisk for K20 pro?

I cannot root my phone through TWRP for some reason and I would really like to use my phone with Google Pay.

Install Magisk yourself. It will work.
Which zip did you flash? The right version of maiden
Magisk will work.
@XblackdemonX I can't install Magisk since it's giving me an error message. Tried every possible way with no luck
@Turbine1991 I have tried install "twrp-3.3.1-15-raphael-mauronofrio"
After installing it the phone is always going back to Stock rom recovery.

 @redmiK20ProIndonesia
Are you rebooting the device after installing TWRP? If you installed TWRP then rebooted without first trying to install Magisk it'll probably just stick the stock recovery back in place and overwrite TWRP if nothing is done to circumvent stock recovery overwrite. If this doesn't apply then no worries but thought I'd mention it.
That's also an old version of TWRP; have you tried a newer version? I'd say try fastboot boot recovery.img then immediately attempt to install Magisk. You're on MIUI11 so you'll want to go with Magisk 19.3.

You have to install Magisk to prevent the recovery from changing back to stock.

Lineage OS 17 unable to root with Magisk

Hi there,
Looking for some assistance to root on Lineage OS 17 for my S10. I had previously rooted my stock rom before installing the custom rom. However, I realized that Magisk is not registering on LOS. I tried to reroot via zip on TWRP with no success. Any ideas on how I can root again? Would I have to reroot on my stock rom again before installing LOS?
Thanks

I've just tried this but now my S10 is stuck on boot warning. Was I supposed to do a full wipe too?
Edit: Resolved now. There was a custom Magisk boot.img specifically for Lineage OS root

You will need to do a format/wipe, flash multi_disabler.zip then flash the new updated LOS rom, then Magisk.img
Below link for the updated LOS rom and Magisk .img
This is from the official LOS thread.

Oh I'm so stupid, I had seen the Magisk boot img in the files but ended up using another one... It seems to work now, thank you sooo much!!
It still cannot pass SafetyNet check (ctsProfile), I'll investigate that...
I had the same issue with lineage 17.1 in xperia z2 when using the latest magisk version 21.4 , solved by flashing an older version (magisk version 20.4).
I am trying root Lineage 18.1 on my s10. I have tried differtent magisk-files from TWRP, but still no root access.
What are the required files for 18.1 for Galaxy s10 and steps to get root-access?

Made an OB1 Magisk Patched boot.img

7ProAndroid11MagiskBootImg - Google Drive
drive.google.com
Feel free to download it. All I did was extract the boot.img from the payload.bin, copy the boot.img to an extra phone, patched it with magisk, then uploaded it.
Don't install TWRP yet. The people who are infinitely smarter than I am will make a TWRP that will work for OB1, and that's way above my pay grade. I hope this helps someone.

Install the OTA
Go to magisk manager and pick install.
pick install to inactive slot (after OTA)
make sure you don't have any modules enabled that may be incompatible.
reboot
when the 11 TWRP drops, you can install it as a magisk module to gain custom recovery back
Just download magisk 21.4 zip and boot into twrp and flash it. No problems. Way easier. Here is the zip.

Okay I see. So I have TWRP LOL. I KNOW WHY to.
I have orangfox dual boot .zip from here. Also used TWRP to install the beta 1 on my phone which I run two OSs 96gb each and a extra 32 gb partition for genal stuff. So I flashed from Oxy 10.3.7 in TWRP, beta 1 it's. Than before booting I flashed Orangefox-dualboot-v11-7.zip. Wich installs TWRP and root automatically to both OSs. I recommend to TWRP 1st from 10 and after flashing the ota. Flash a TWRP zip file. Here's a boot.img from mine on the beta side. Be carefull it could have twrp preinstalled in it. I'm new lol but isn't twrp in the boot.img now a days. This one has it if it is. My boot.img it's also got magisk 21.4. totally blew by not having to worries about this thread. One other thing though. It's for a dual boot setup and encryption is off.

Ohh couldn't find Orangefox dual boot's post today so here is the twrp file. It's not really worked on right now and has option to flash magisk on R11 Pass but the copy of magisk is no good on the R11 OS but has magisk. 20.4 option for a Q10 is, when it IDs it. You'll see. The script options. PS orangfox dual booting with three different drives rocks. Also it has a app manager and a magisk mange GUI. Almost forgot beta 10 version 17-19 will not successful y flash this twrp. But any other copy for the phone on xda or OnePlus.com work fine. It's a encryption variety problem. If your password becomes corrupt (only on OS can have password type security on a dual boot setup... I got away with using the same password on both OSs for a minute though. ) in the root partition thiers a directory called Ffiles, with .zip you can flash while TWRped to fix a few things like that. Other than that let me know. Lol I want to mention Evey time you flash an OTA or anything that will alter the work this twrp installs, you need to flash the file afterwards, before rebooting. And reboot after flashing it so everything links up. Of coarse you can select to reboot right back to recovery. Best luck I couldn't find their post on xda so that's why I typed up so much. Lol I'll be funny again I don't know who this stuff on how to downgrade really but thiers a Windows tool that has capibillities err what ever to flash a OTA of 10 in fastboot mode. Anyways no worries. It's called all-in-one flash tool. Works on maney OnePlus phones. Maybe for encrypted data partitions. I run unencrypted stuff I do not like encryption on any electric devices.

I just want to say thank you. I tried the new magisk update and it didn't work. I could get to recovery and figured I had PB1 for Andoid11 anffd I would flash to gety baclk to working. Of course I lost root, but was able to get it back with magisk_patched_Ei056.img flashed to boot. It works fine. Can hang with root until TWRP gets updated.
VERY APPRECIATED.
Updated Twrp installer, and a link to both encrypted and unencrypted boot.img and vendor.img's. The Twrp was updated around the 29th. The .img files
I just made. Theirs also a system img if you want it All Beta 1 stuff. The new twrp can install magisk21.4 during the process. The boots I'm hoping can load your beta 1 and let you reboot into twrp right after. Gonna use my open drive and test. Later

After rooting G9+ & installing an unofficial LineageOS 18.1, root was lost & need help getting it back

I decided to upgrade to the G9+ after finding a LineageOS ROM for the phone. Root via TWRP & Magisk worked without a hitch. Then I installed the LineageOS 18.1 ROM from here: https://www.getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-18-1-moto-g9-plus/
Next I went to install GApps via the Aroma setup, but found that TWRP was gone. There was some limited recovery from the ROM installation which didn't seem to be of any use, so I reflashed TWRP & then Magisk, but I didn't get root back.
The phone now has a working version of LineageOS, but I can't even get the Google crap I need.
When I try to flash something via TWRP I get an error saying there was a "Zip signature verification failure", so I can't even get back to stock ROM to try again. (I guess this error is related to not having root.)
(I installed TWRP & Magisk on another G9+ with stock ROM and everything seems as expected. The phone is rooted. I just want to get rid off all the Google software I can.)
Anyone got an idea how I can get root back?

And any reason why "ADB devices" doesn't list the attached phone? "Fastboot devices" works fine.

Sapper Morton said:
The ROM that you're using is not meant to be daily driven, Erfan compiled that for experimental purposes, but that aside, there's a few things that you should take in consideration when using Lineage; It's not meant to be used with TWRP, that's why they ship their own recovery (Lineage Recovery). It's still possible to flash custom files with it (That doesn't match their original signature), you just need to skip a warning.
For Magisk, download the latest stable build from here: Download
(The .apk has the flashing script built-in, so just rename that to .zip).
One major difference from TWRP, is that Lineage Recovery doesn't support decrypting userdata, so the files must be flashed using ADB or USB OTG.
Use ADB Sideload as follows:adb sideload magisk.zip
As for me, I didn't unlocked my device yet, so if you could confirm me something: I need to know if I will lose my DRM certification, used for Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and such.
Download Castro from Play Store, go to the DRM tab, and check the Widevine status, tell me if it remains L1, or if it downgraded to L3. That's what's holding me back from testing, or even compiling for this device.

Thanks for the response.
1. I'm using the Github Magisk 23.
2. Lineage Recovery is gone. I reflashed TWRP.
3. Attempting to use "ADB sideload Magisk-v23.0.zip" ADB responds "cannot read 'Magisk-v23.0.zip'"
4. I haven't got Play Store on the phone as I can't flash the aroma package (1.7GB) via TWRP.

I don't know anything about the other methods for getting root. I've always used Magisk.
(I'm working under the idea that as TWRP + Magisk works fine on one phone, they aren't the problem.)
Sapper Morton said:
The idea is to rollback to Lineage Recovery, you can even flash only the boot.img that it's inside the ROM flashable file, instead of reflashing the whole thing again. It's probably in payload.bin format, so you'll need a payload firmware extractor (Easily found on GitHub), in case you choose the first option.
• Aroma is not supported on Lineage Recovery, so I would recommend something smaller, like OpenGapps nano or stock.

What sort of idiots build in a crap recovery when one has obviously already installed a functional recovery, needed in the process of gaining root and installing LineasgeOS? This unnecessary included recovery wasn't in previous versions of LOS I've used.
Yes, this is an unpleasant surprise and I'm ticked off. I'm an end user who wants a relatively de-Googled phone, but now to maybe get a functional recovery I have to extract stuff from a payload file, but to do that I have to install more crud so that I can run the tool that does the extracting.
And I need Aroma to be able to select what I must have from Google. My partner needs their voice tech. I could dump almost everything else and use Pico. </rant> Sorry.
Is there no way to wipe the slate clean, get rid of this Lineage, and start again?
(I don't understand how installing their recovery could ruin the functionality of another recovery.)

On the second G9+ which I rooted but left the stock ROM, I installed Castro and it indicates L3.

Lineage is working fine, some details that will be fixed when releasing the new kernel
There is a method to root with magisk by patching the ramdisk its a way better rooting method then with twrp in fact magisk dev recommends this way of rooting if you have not tried this here is a magisk official link https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
Hope This helped you bro
The ROM in the O.P. works.​
Folks, I actually made a number of mistakes in this process.
The major one was to muff the fastboot command for flashing TWRP. I had followed instructions which said to boot TWRP, which didn't install TWRP, just loaded it into phone memory. But...
The ROM cited in the O.P. doesn't seem to have any problems that I have noticed in my usage, which is basically as a hand computer, not as a phone.
LineageOS now overwrites recovery with its own recovery, which is pretty moronic, because the user has already had to install a recovery to root the device.
But fortunately, if you have your ADB/fastboot apps handy with TWRP in the same folder it's an easy fix.
You should already have this stuff, but use the following software:
sebastian3367HD has provided TWRP for G9+ users onsight here. I'll assume it's called "twrp.img".
Magisk-v23 here -- put it somewhere easy on your phone.
Also get GApps 11. I used core NikGapps here, select latest date, then the version of GApps you want. (The core version 82MB just gives you Play Store & support software.) Put it the same place on the phone you put Magisk.
Assuming you've flashed the O.P. LineageOS ROM, which overwrites trusty TWRP, put your phone in fastboot mode, either using
1. power button + volume down
until you get the droid image on its back, or get there with your phone on, sending
2. adb reboot bootloader
via the windows command shell.
You're now in fastboot mode. You can now flash TWRP back onto the phone. Note that the phone has two slots of memory, so that the phone can hold two operating systems. If you send
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
it will be flashed to the current slot, either A or B. To be safe you should flash both:
fastboot flash recovery_a twrp.img
fastboot flash recovery_b twrp.img
That gives you the safety of having TWRP in both slots. (Incidentally, TWRP allows you to changes slots.) (Also remember if you reflash LineageOS you'll have to put TWRP back on if you want a decent recovery program.)
Use TRWP to Reboot to Recovery.
Now install Magisk using TWRP:
Spoiler: (You know this)
a) choose Install
b) if the bottom right button says Install Zip press it and it will change to Install Image
c) if you put Magisk on your external SD card Select Storage to choose the SD
d) find and select Magisk-v23.0.apk, then
e) swipe to flash.
Then install GApps, basically the same as for Magisk.
Reboot to System. You should be rooted now and should have Play Store (and whatever else you opted for).

Question Lineage 20 patching boot img

Hey guys just got this Pixel 7 and want to install lineage 20, can I still patch the boot.img with magisk and flash that since it doesn't come with a init_boot.img?? Thanks
There's a video for rooting LOS 20 on cheetah, and I guess it'll work on panther the same way...

I didn't watch the YouTube video that was posted by t-ryder so maybe it's already been explained but the easiest way is just to download the latest magisk APK to your PC and rename it magisk.zip, place it in the platform tools folder and sideload it from the lineage recovery using the command "adb sideload magisk.zip" just like you done with the rom.zip (and gapps.zip) the only thing I do different than the gapps.zip is that I go through the setup process and restore all my data with my Gmail and then reboot to recovery and flash magisk.zip I'm sure this probably doesn't matter but I've done this on multiple pixels and it has worked flawlessy so far. hope this was helpful. Btw I forgot about this until recently but one of my favorite things about lineage is that once it's rooted it stays rooted even after updating.
Happy Romming,
