I need some quick advice. I would like to install the stock ROM (and up to here everything is ok), then after installing the TWRP Recovery I also wanted to install Magisk to have root permissions on the Stock ROM.
But when I go to restart after flashing Magisk my phone goes into boot loop. Is there any way to root the stock ROM?

Hello, I am currently rooted on stock oos 4.0.3, with latest TWRP and super su free v2.79, can anyone help me out and tell me how to switch to magisk please, thank you!
Can I just use super su full unroot option then flash magisk?
Either reflash the original boot.img or download the unsu script from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067, then flash magisk again.

If you use the unSU script the process is:
unSU
stock boot image
Magisk
This method did not work for me.
I am on KETAN n10 and initially, viper did not work. I installed magisk but that didn't fix it. nor the meefik busy box. So i decided to uninstall magisk and go back to superSU and it magically worked...
I unrooted from SuperSU itself like shown on the app's forum I believe. It rebooted my phone, I went into recovery first and then just flashed the latest magisk and made the switch :laugh:

So you just went into the SuperSU app and used the built in Unroot option, and when the phone rebooted, you went back into recovery and flashed the latest Magisk and did NOT flash a boot.img and everything worked fine? you have root with Magisk now instead of SU and you didnt get a bootloop at all??? (i really want to swap out SU for magisk in my sons LG G2, so he can play PoGo again lol) (His G2 is running CRdroid custom rom, I wonder if that effects the steps I'll need to take)
Can anyone offer me some guidance or assistance please and thank you?

If there's a proper backup of the boot image for the SuperSU app's full unroot option to restore, then that process should work perfectly (I've done it on a few devices myself). It's when it can't properly restore the boot image you might have issues and you'll have to do it yourself.
Take a look in the Magisk Troubleshooting guide, under "Moving from another systemless root solution to MagiskSU".
The nuclear method might be, to just flash the full stock OOS zip (can flash in TWRP) which will unroot and restore the boot.img (and everything else!). Then immediately flash Magisk before rebooting (so have the Magisk zip on the phone before updating). This should fully remove SuperSU, install Magisk, and keep TWRP on the phone.
Seeing as the original poster is still on OOS 4.0.3, you may want to update, anyway!

I've done this on my 3t but I do have a G3 coincidentally lol, but yes I unrooted from su, it restarted my phone, before booting back into the system I went in twrp right away and then flashed magisk.
There are two options given in the SuperSU app, one is clean up to switch to a different SU app and the other is to permanently unroot. Which option is better?

I chose the Full Unroot option. Then flashed magisk. Worked perfectly.
Use the full unroot option. Catch here is that you might get dm-verity warning. It won't affect the phone in anyway but Android Pay might not work and you will see the warning for 5 seconds, everytime you restart the phone.
Thanks so much for ths thread. I am on Resurrection Remix OS and inititally installed SuperSU over Magisk (which came with the ROM). I decided that I wanted to use Magisk instead and followed the instructions in this thread and it worked a treat.
Folks,
Seeing alot of comments about bootloops, etc after trying to install the new stable OOS Oreo release.
I went through the same issue myself and found the following method to work best.
PLEASE NOTE: I'm not responsible if this does Any type of damage or issues to your device.
Be sure to backup all you need to back up to your PC.
1. Complete wipe of phone.
2. Flash the stock recovery that was used for reverting from Oreo Beta to Nougat. http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/OP5_recovery.img
3. Wipe everything again.
4. Sideload new Oreo release. (Credit @HatRiGt, https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NW5zyUOL6bWgUWozFGLiutzud203npKp)
5. Reboot to bootloader and flash the Chinese TWRP. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AKbC4HB0h4rEldQUowWGdyM4iYBVV--7
6. Reboot to recovery and flash Magisk. I flashed the 14.6 version and haven't found any issues yet. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4366826&d=1513897917)
7. Boot phone.
I cannot promise this will work for you, but it has done the job for me.
Running Oreo Stable with Magisk 14.6 and restored all apps from Titanium Backup that I saved on my PC.
I highly suggest blu_spark TWRP instead of chinese one, and i think this method is ONE of the other working way
Couldn't get mine to work with blu spark, hence why I had to use chinese
Link for Chinese twrp please
Thank you very much, work for me
Make a video of it please
New Magisk v.15.
Thanks to topjohnwu.

Added to OP.
All is well. And with google Drive almost all data is back.
Nice & easy workaround..
Step 5 has to be : install TWRP on fastboot mode...
@hallo dare
Any chance you can make a very detailed video about this process?

You should try changing the TWRP
If you have problems with adb sideload:
Boot into fastboot and install stock .
Unlock/Lock your Phone and unlock it again. Locking will wipe the whole phone.
After this you can make a clean installation.
Reboot to bootloader and flash the Chinese TWRP and boot to Recovery.
Install the oreo.zip file.
Reboot to System.
Make your Setup: WLAN, GMail Account aso.....
After all boot to Recovery and install Magisk
Very easy, put oreo zip file in the root folder, backup all data, flash stock recovery, boot with stock recovery, wipe cache, upgrade internal..., Select oreo zip file and flash it, then back and select wipe, select erase every thing and reboot. Done.
Thank you so much! I finally got it working. I needed to do a factory wipe and skip the magisk installation but it worked!
Cheers!

Magisk won't flash on stock recovery, if that's the reason you had to skip installing it.

No I installed the TWRP and flashed magisk. It refused to boot so I factory swiped it and all was good. Now I have to figure out how to install magisk without getting into bootloop.

Did you try flashing Magisk again?
I'm afraid a stock, modified Nougat ROM will refuse to boot, as it won't pass integrity checks.
Magisk patches the kernel to bypass that.
just try flashing the stock recovery
Hello,
I can' find a how to, to go back from Magisk rooted LOS to Magisk rooted Stock.
Which files I have to flash via heimdall?

IDK if it's the easiest way, but you can flash stock Samsung firmware and then root it again.
Hi,
I have the following problem.
I was able to install the custom ROM properly on my Mi9t pro. Unfortunately my Orangefox Recovery was deleted After the installation.
If I want to install Magisk now, I have to reflash the recovery first.
Do you have any idea why the recovery is deleted? Is there a way to prevent that?
Thanks in advance.

Your (custom) Recovery was really deleted?
Or replaced by stock Recovery
Who says that installation of Magisk requires custom Recovery?
Magisk documentation (Installation Instructions) - please find it on Magisk Github - certainly not.
Patch the boot.img and flash (it can be flashed by Fastboot, hence custom Recovery is not a must to have)
Hi,
it really gets deleted. My cell phone is then only in fastboot mode.
I am not interested in flashing Magisk either, but rather that recovery after an installation is no longer available. This makes installing updates more cumbersome.
I only have the problem when I flash a custom ROM. when I flash a MIUI ROM from xiaomi.eu Beta, the recovery is retained.
