Just in case anyone didn't see, you can successfully remove RCTD - LGs root checker - which slows down your device. Worked perfectly for me running rooted Nougat.

I think I'm stuck, the app just tries to install Android Image Kitchen reboots to recovery and installs it then it reboots back to the system and I run the app again and it wants to install AIK again.

So I dug a bit and from what I can tell AIK is not detecting Magisk and installing to the wrong folder. Ill just have to manually patch the image on my PC

Did it successfully patched the boot image? If so, maybe try flashing it in recovery. Its in the androidimagekitchen folder.
If not i would jusy ditch magisk. I run into all kinds of problems with it and haven't really found any benefits.
Ps i wonder if I can share my patched boot image and you can flash manually in recovery. I see nothing wrong if we're both on 30b.

Firstly I think the app should run fin when all its dependencies/prerequisites are met. Because I don't have AIK Mobile installed on my phone its is trying to install it, but failing so it just keeps trying every time the app is opened. I think this is because AIK installer (the zip included with the apk) is not recognizing the root method (magisk 14) properly and its trying to install into a folder that is not used for root apps.

If you could that would be nice, not just for me, but anyone else that has a V10 v30b. Does Magisk or anything mess with any images when it performs it's install, or are they normally only changed with an OS upgrade?
EDIT: I think i found a possible solution in the AIK release notes "- update Magisk support for full online installs in Magisk Manager (AIK-mobile)". This reminded me that Magisk has a built-it flashing tool and that it might be better suited for installs dealing Magisk.

Sup guys, i had this problem with the SafetyNet Check that always kept failing, done some tutorials here at the forum but none of them worked, so i gave up... yesterday i was searching for some modules at the download page in the Magisk Manager app and found a module that was supposed to correct SafatyNet problema, after that installation my Magisk don't want to open anymore, all my modules still installed but i can't open the app anymore, i rooted my cellphone without TWRP so i can't use it to manage the dependencies of the app... any suggestion?
obs.: I'm not using TWRP cuz i just keep having a problem at the installation, i'm runnig the last version of the Android Pie OS (Beta 3)

He can boot it through fastboot, adb push the uninstaller and flash it.*
But isn't the safetynet fix just a build.prop tweak?
He can technically adb pull the build.prop, fix it and put it back in. Or just take a working build.prop from a fellow OB3 user ( me included ) and push it into the system through adb.

I think the OP mentioned the problem they are having is from a Magisk module that is incompatible with the OP6. My recommendation, without TWRP on the phone, might be a Fastboot Rom to get your phone functional again.

restore stock boot.img. no root, no mods to load. fix it then reroot.
You don't need to restore. Follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-core-mode-bootloop-solver-modules-t3817366
It's called CoreOnlyMode4Magisk and it's flashed through TWRP. Magisk modules are systemless and this module will fix your problem.

Just reflash OB3 from system updater and that will get rid of root and also keep your data. Then start over.

In the early days of this module there was a way without twrp, you could take the official firmware file and extract the system.img, get it from your device or just download one from my collection to your pc. There was a patcher to use on a windows pc for this module especially for devices without twrp, i dont know if they stopped this patcher but it was official from the developer of the module. It patches the system to run this magisk module and you just need to flash the patched system to your device, activate the module in magisk and reboot the device.

I cant say something defenitiv. I experienced that i have to reset the device to boot after flashing a system.img but i also know that someone didnt need to reset his device. I think you have to try it, userdatas/apps are on a different partition anyhow so you dont delete them with flashing a system.img the only question is if the new flashed system will boot without a full wipe of the userdatas. But to have a backup is never wrong.
Sadly MicroG isn't available without TWRP, so bye bye! https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78626349&postcount=5256
Be careful. Yesterday I have installed this module on my pie rom and had bootloop when I tried to uninstall it. Nothing cant solve this issue, I had to flash whole pie rom.
That's why I bought this mobile with stock Android to be sure I'm not install something on it and the truth it's not worth to change something on it.
This mobile work pretty good without needing to root it.
No offense only my opinion.

I dont think so. you havent right, because of magisk. Did you ever try viper4android? Its really some kind of magic! this is only one case. no root = no lot of great stuff. If anything bad happened, you have ever last option = flash vanilla rom
For anyone who gets bootloops caused by a magisk module: Just flash back stock kernel! Then Magisk is gone and the module doesn´t work too. You can delete the module from your magisk manager and root again - voilla!

Hmm, as told above, then your only option is a backup with twrp. If you can't decrypt data with twrp (after you installed it - not booting) you can try to boot to slot b - that sometimes help. Just select under reboot in twrp or type "fastboot set_active b"...

There is no wipe required, I just got caught in the loop as well.
Two things you need:
-TRWP installed
-Uninmod installed (magisk module remover)
1. If you are stuck in the loop, boot into fastboot,
- connect your pc and run ADB & fastboot cmd, run the command fastboot boot recovery.img(or your TRWP image) and run TRWP
2. Download Uninmod zip, transfer to phone. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72542167&postcount=242&nocache=1
- Use TWRP to install Uninmod,
- remove the Notchkiller mod
- credits to veez21
3. find this file overlays.list and delete it from /data/resource-cache/overlays.list https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/NotchBarKiller/issues/3
- credits to MatChung
Reboot and there was like a minute of delay on same boot screen, but then it should boot fine.
If you are not stuck in the loop but just installed the module:
-remove the module in magisk
-find the file and delete it.
TLDR: remove the Notchbarkiller mod and remove overlays.list file. Reboot!
Hope it works. It did for me. Poco F1

Strange, I was using the January update when I first installed it and everything worked fine, no issues what so ever. I haven't tried it on the latest update but xiaomi's update might have messed the module. There's no reason what so ever to blame the module for not working on the latest update as they tend to break things. Just report back to the developer with something helpful like a logcat instead of making useless threads.
As of the bootloop there's no reason to wipe your data or reflash the ROM unless you have to. Just boot up in twrp and flash the magisk uninstaller which might be in the Magisk Manager folder or just search it online. Another way to do it is just to mount magisk in twrp and delete the module.

UPDATE: This thread is a false alarm as I managed to install the module on the March update and the only crash I get is from google play services with no bootloop and everything working. Maybe the OP has another phone and except that a module that is on the Mi A2 Lite thread should work on any phone or he's done something wrong. I will attach some screenshots to confirm that the module is indeed working and OP's post is a false alarm for stock A2 Lite ROMs (No custom ROM and not other phones)
NOTE: As you can see in the YouTube screenshot there's no black back on the left side of the screen as it should be without the module installed
*Note* Some people have had success with this, while some others have not. You do this at your own risk.
Prerequisites:
Magisk Manager might need to be unhidden based on reports from some users.
Magisk needs to have a backup of stock boot.img.
Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity must be enabled. (Have gotten mixed reports on this it might or might not be needed)
Check the following post if you don't meet the prerequisites
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81186247&postcount=73
Update Process
When phone detects update
1. Disable any desired Magisk modules, ex. Edxposed (I usually disable all modules just to be safe)
2. Reboot
3. In Magisk, select Uninstall, press Restore Images
4. Do NOT Reboot
5. Install OTA Update via Settings -> System -> System Updates
6. When prompted to reboot, Do NOT Reboot
7. In Magisk Manager press Install
8. Select Install to Inactive Slot
9. Reboot
10. Enable the Magisk modules one by one
In case of bootloop after enabling a module there are 2 ways that I know of on how to retain root and fix bootloop.
One requires ADB
While phone is stuck in bootloop, connect phone to PC and run this commands via ADB.
adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
adb reboot
This will remove all modules and you should be able to boot.
The second way is via fastboot. More information in this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-4-xl/themes/magisk-modules-disabler-booting-magisk-t3990557
Some information that might help some people.
eg1122 said:
I know some users flash patched boot.img that someone else patched, thus bypassing the creation of a backup. I think choosing or not choosing to preserve avb 2.0/dm-verity also affects if phone will take OTA. I always preserve mine and always patch my own boot.img so I haven't ran into any issues. I'll just have to wait and see what happens on my end once I get the update. This reminds me of some issues some people where getting early on when rooting. Some people had to flash the patched boot.img to both a/b slots and some people didn't. Having both slots with a patched boot will also break the restoring of stock boot.img as Magisk only restores the active slot.

If you do it this way you'll be using the patched boot image from the previous update and not the current one.

No it doesn't. When you select install to inactive slot it patches the newly installed boot.img that has been installed to the inactive slot. Only reason phone promts you to reboot after an update is to switch slots.
For whatever reason, whenever I would try to do Uninstall - Restore images (in step 3 of the OP), I would get a toast error saying "Stock backup does not exist"
I'm not sure why the expected backup files hadn't been created. I suspect it has to do with the process of manually patching the boot image whilst initially rooting, as suggested in this Git issue.
Anyway, I was ultimately able to work around this, and was eventually able to get Uninstall - Restore images to work.
I wrote about my workaround method here.

Yeah, there needs to be a backed up stock boot img for this to work. Being able to restore images the way stated in the issue would solve this as you could just restore a stock boot.img then continue doing the steps.

Does anybody know if this also work with a custom kernel? I thought removing root and let magisk install old (boot) image should reinstall stock boot.img (if magisk first was installed through fastboot with stock kernel). Then i can take ota, patch inactive slot with magisk and then reboot. After reboot i can install custom kernel again througj ex kernel manager app. Does anybody know if this works?

When does the dec patch come out, on the 5th?

The other way I update is using full factory images. Once you download the zip, extract it and find and open (via Notepad++ or similar advanced text editor) the flash-all.bat or flash-all.sh (depends on your system), find this line
fastboot -w update
replace with
fastboot update
Basically remove the -w, this will prevent a factory reset (wipe) on your device. Once it is done you will need to patch new boot.img via magisk and flash the newly patched boot.img via fastboot.
Hope this helps!
ps. I recommend to always disable Magisk Modules before updating as they could cause FC

Tried it but got a bootloop. Not sure what I did wrong. Used canary magisk manager to patch the factory boot.img and flashed the patched.img with fastboot. Then the bootloop.

Did you flash to both slots? Maybe that could be the problem?

I had the same problem as Daisymae, I patched the boot image with Canary Debug MM, flashed it to both slots and ended up stuck on the screen with the Google logo bootlooping for around 10 mins each time

I tried last night with the newest MM and still ended up with the same result. Not sure if missing something or not but did notice the patched image was half the size of the unpatched one

Try again today. He just pushed a new magisk update. (Today)
Anyone tried this on dp3?
I just clean flashed dp3 and downloaded the latest magisk to test. Nothing but bootloops here.
Anyone care to upload their patched boot?
Update: works fine after all. Redownloaded .apk and made sure to select the canary channel in the app settings.

Update: SDK Platform-Tools: r30.0.0
It roots dp4 but after flashing module it unroots but the module is still active and reflashin boot.img wont reroot at that point
edit: Clean flashing DP4 5 times. lollolol. Each time i would have to copy the stock boot over to the phone an let magisk patch it then copy it back over to pc to flash. I could not use the previous patchedboot.img for whatever reason. And if i factory reset it wouldnt work period. The only module im flashing was busybox. but either way this time after clean flash i went to magisk settings changed the name of magisk package an turned on magisk hide. When restarting after busybox install I still had root. SO step in right direction for now

Cant you use direct method? boot the phone with patched boot and flash direct. This method eliminates most issues.

Weird I flash the dp4 patched boot without issues
On July 5th update, works great! (Though not all modules work due to the removal of /sbin, etc)
