Why do need the boot.img for root ?
I never used it for root my device.

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.

@shatty, thanks.
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.

It worked on my 6t converted from tmo. Anyone else try this patched boot.img? Why wipe? Upgrade works fine.
So after hours of using the ob2 I didn't have any freezes or reboots. 1000000x better than my experience on ob1

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

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
I hope this is the right place to ask, pardon me if not:
Issue: After upgrading to Android 11, the patched boot image causes bootloop, when patched using Magisk Canary
Phone/setup: Pixel 4 XL, updated today to Android 11 using OTA, which strangely enough worked just fine. Previously used the usual Magisk build, but grabbed Canary for this stuff. I'm flashing using latest ADB tools via download straight from Google + using original Pixel cable which so far has worked great with fastboot. Fastboot devices -l reports the phone.
Approach:
Flash-all.bat without -w, boots fine, all in order = boots fine, all in order
Extract boot.img, move to phone
Download latest Canary build straight from github front page, moditfy boot.img, transfer image to pc
ADB reboot bootloader, fastboot flash boot modified-image
Outcome: Stuck in boot - makes it to the "G" logo with the spinning line below. Left like that for 20 minutes, no change.
Approach two:
Flash-all.bat without -w, boots fine, all in order = boots fine, all in order
Extract boot.img, move to phone
Moditfy boot.img, transfer image to pc
ADB reboot bootloader, fastboot flash boot_a modified-image, fastboot flash boot_b modified-image
Outcome: Stuck in boot - makes it to the "G" logo with the spinning line below. Left like that for 20 minutes, no change.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Pixel 4a here, just tried to follow OTA instructions and ended up bootlooped until I paused it. After resuming it rebooted but the update didn't take and magisk was uninstalled. I did have the safetynet fingerprint module installed so probably this caused an issue? Not sure it relates exactly to your problem but thought I'd chime in with a similar problem and model.
EDIT:
After this reboot where I lost magisk I retried the OTA and it succeeded. I then tried to flash the patched boot.img in fastboot but it failed now I'm endlessly bootlooping.
EDIT 2:
tried a couple things but couldn't get 11 to boot so I flashed back to 10 but wiped my userdata so I'm done messing around for awhile I think 11 just is a no go for now.

On Android 10, when booting Magisk in the core only mode, I would still fail the ctsProfile. I would never complete safetynet 100%. I am not sure what should be possible, but it seems some ppl can make it pass safetynet on Android 10 by running Magisk in core only mode. When upgrading to Android 11, and before flashing any boot.img, but after installing Canary build, I would still fail the ctsProfile part of the satefy net. I wonder if that somehow impacts.
If wonder if the issue is linked to the fingerprint. I also have the fingerprint module (where it allows apps to believe it's using a fingerprint, but in fact it's my face). I will try and remove all the modules, then uninstall Magisk, then reinstall Canary build. Cheers mate.

Same here, and after the Glogo, if I restart I get ""no valid slot to boot". Flashing unpatched boot.img gets me back in, but there doesn't seem to be a way to root 11 release build?

Google Store Pixel 4a here. I have the exact same experience. Tried:
2. Uninstall Magisk -> Install OTA -> Install Inactive Slot -> bootloops 3 times and settles on previous boot slot, Android 10, no Magisk
3. Patch Boot.img -> flash-all.bat -> fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img -> fastboot bootloop with the message "no valid slot to boot"
Can confirm re-flashing stock boot.img or running the full update script successfully boots Android 11, no root of course
Pixel 4 XL user here. I updated to Android 11 last night. Same thing happened to me. Waiting for an update to Magisk for Android 11

I noticed a new buildof Magisk available in the manager. New modified boot image has a slightly different filesize. Tried fastboot boot magisk_patched.img but still stuck on G and the moving line below. I wonder what is different compared to the 4xl users who has no problems...
Just want to point out that a common cause for issues when updating from one Android version to another is incompatible mods.
Make sure that no Magisk modules are installed that could be causing issues. Uninstalling the modules before updating, uninstalling Magisk, manually deleting the module directories in /data/adb/modules (or the whole modules directory) or wiping /data would all be ways of accomplishing this...
This might not be true for everyone, but it's quite likely.
Edit: Oh yeah... And don't install TWRP. Only booting it seems to be fine though.
I got it to work !!! Pixel 4 XL user. Might work on other Pixel phones / non-Pixel phones as well.
You need to download Magisk Canary apk first.
Try this post https://www.xda-developers.com/latest-magisk-canary-release-adds-support-for-android-11/
Here is the trick, you need to set the update channel in the settings to Canary Debug. Just Canary won't work and won't show any updates!
Then you will see immediately that a new version is available for manager and Magisk. Update the manager first. Then install Magisk to boot.img. Flash and there you go. I even got modules working and GPay works and even the CTS profile works! previously that failed on me (despite trying the settings recommended and Terminus commands with Busybox)
does not work

i have the same versions but do not see the Canary Debug.
currently it is not working
There's only been one Canary channel for some time (and it's the debug release, even though it doesn't say so in the Manager). If anyone is using a Manager that has both a "Canary" and a "Canary Debug" channel they're using an old build of the Manager. And on such a build, the regular "Canary" channel won't work since it no longer exists.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-4-xl/how-to/android-11-beta-1-jun-2020-t4113249
It's an older version but once you switch to Canary Debug it should show correct updates. For there things worked for me.
Also, I'm attaching a link to download the Magisk boot image for Android 11 directly, in case you want to skip this whole process. Just flash it with Fast Boot

What is Soli? Sorry for the dumb question. I can try and see.
It's the RF based motion sensor in the front of the phone that turns on active display and swipes in front of the display to control the phone.

I'm in the US already so it works without a problem for me. I also tried to install Enable Soli from GitHub and it installed and phone booted. Not sure how to test it further for you.
Just so that there's no confusion...
The correct (and only) place to get the Magisk installation zips and Manager apks is always going to be on John's GitHub.
Here's the (current) link to the up-to-date Canary Manager:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/canary/app-debug.apk
But, if in doubt, always go to the above linked GitHub to get the latest downloads.
Downloading from anywhere else might mean that you are installing an altered (possibly maliciously) root Manager. Don't take the risk...

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. However, I don't know what can you do to update Magisk safely. Would be best if you can check your device forum or ask the question there

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?

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...

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.
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..
Many thanks
Didgeridoohan;
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.
