I was stuck with a working(sort of) root after dirty install 8.1->9.0 sideloading official OTA file. I tried to remove the magisk using the official uninstaller. Reinstalled Magisk 16.7 + APK 5.8.3(129) and was slapped with a bootloop.
Used uninstaller again and was able to boot fine, but no root(as expected). Reinstalled magisk and was stuck in a bootloop again.
Fix that worked for me:
1. Sideload latest OTA(9.0). (again)
2. Boot into it.
3. Reboot into TWRP(I load my TWRP using fastboot, not installed to recovery partition)
4. Sideload Magisk 16.7
5. Should work now.
Hopefully it fixes your bootloop.
I've been having a different problem. I'm able to install magisk 16.7 by flashing the patched_boot.img. Everything seems to work fine for a while. But after rebooting the phone a few times it eventually gets into a bootloop. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?
After I'd upgrade to beta 25, I can't install Magisk. Any ideas how can I get my root back?

I'm also facing the same issues. Whenever I install Magisk,phone boots into recovery and will only boot into system when I flash the Magisk uninstaller.
Same thing happens when I flash the patched boot image via fastboot.
Edit: Did a fresh OB25 install via TWRP followed by Magisk 19.3. System booted up smoothly
I have also faced this issue
1.install twrp
2.flash ob25 again & twrp.zip
3.reboot to twrp again & install magisk then reboot to system May be there are some changes in os because of upcoming Q update
Hello,
I have been struggling to root my device. I have not wiped and rooted it in some time and now coming back to it again magisk keeps breaking my device.
I have clean flashed the latest android 9.0.0 build. I have flashed TWRP custom recovery 3.3.0 successfully. I have tried to flash magisk 3 times now and afterwards my phone wont boot. I originally used magisk manager to get the latest zip and patch my boot image. I then rebooted to to bootloader and ran fast boot flash boot patched_Magisk.img. This wiped out my twrp recovery and my phone wouldn't boot, i couldn't get back into twrp recovery. I reflashed latest 9.0 build and wiped everything. I flashed twrp again and tried to flash Magisk 20.0 from recovery. It was successful but again i couldn't boot into my phone and it eventually restarted back into recovery which i still had twrp this time. I then tried it again with 19.3 and the same thing happened. can anyone tell me what is going on here? What am I missing? I have been having reflash factory 9.0 build each time just to get it to remove the patched boot image and boot up again.
Hello.
After the 12.1.3 update, with the new Magisk app the instructions state that we should extract the recovery.img patch it and flash it to the device in fastboot. After a restart the phone should be rooted. This is however not the case. When I try to flash OrangeFox, and flash the avb patcher from Mauronofrio, OrangeFox remains after a reboot and I can enter it any time holding the volume up at boot. So in theory the recovery partition should not be overwritten to default on restart.
But when I flash over a default-magisk-flashed image, the phone remains un-rooted.
Am I doing something wrong or is this an on-going issue?

That is only for the Magisk app, not to root the phone. Rooting the phone is a totally different procedure.
Number ome was the last zip with I root my phone with simple flash and number 2 is the new one.
Look inside.
Here the how to from magisk for a customer recovery.
Download the Magisk APK
Rename the .apk file extension to .zip, for example: Magisk-v22.0.apk → Magisk-v22.0.zip. If you have trouble renaming the file extension (like on Windows), use a file manager on Android or the one included in TWRP to rename the file.
Flash the zip just like any other ordinary flashable zip.
Check whether the Magisk app is installed. If it isn’t installed automatically, manually install the APK.

Did you solve it? After I've updated to V12.1.2.0.RFDMIXM Android 11, I can't install Magisk through TWRP, even with the latest canary release
Also tried installing through patching boot.img and recovery.img, with magisk 21.4, 22.0, and latest canary (22006). Everytime system refuses to boot (shows MIUI boot screen for a couple of minutes, then vibrator, then system reboots to recovery).
I've also searched in https://xiaomi.eu/ forums, and the official Magisk general support thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-general-support-discussion.3432382/ but can't find any solutions.

Patching the images does not work. But installing the magisk.zip (the latest version) through TWRP or OrangeFox does work (tested and confirmed)! I don't get why it works when installing the zip and does not when patching a recovery.img but this is what we got...
Fun Fact, the instruction manual states you have to hold the HW key to enter recovery until the boot logo shows up, for me now the device is rooted on every boot without any issues, without the need to hold down any buttons.

I just decided to update to V12.1.3 yesterday and got the same problem as yours. Keep trying every version of magisk, from latest and its previous to no avail. It got stuck at MIUI logo even when I left for good half an hour. If I didnt flash magisk zip it loads just as normal but without root, but I still want magisk.
Today I just thought of trying different version of recovery. The current one is TWRP-3.3.2B-0219-XIAOMI_CC9PRO-CN-wzsx150 that got me stuck. Then I flash [email protected]_2.zip recovery. Flash V12.1.3 followed by Magisk-v22-0.zip using OrangeFox worked wonderful. Hope it can help you if you are still stuck like me. Now I can sleep at night.

Right now I'm still in trouble, after a Magisk update, my phone got stuck in bootloop I had to wipe everything.
But nor the latest .Eu or Global ROM works with Magisk now. I followed the guide by topjonwho (Magisk dev) that says if I don't have a boot.img, I have to modify the recovery.
Well, no luck.
But! If I take the boot.img from the fastboot ROM, and modify that with Magisk, I can boot it up with root. But if I flash that boot.img I'm still stuck on boot. Same with original and TWRP recovery.
You say using [email protected]_2.zip I can just simply flash Magisk 22.1 az a .zip, like in the good old days?

Yup, tried that boot.img method doesn't work too.
It was magisk 22.0 when I upgraded to 12.1.3 but i guess 22.1 works the same. So nervous waiting the MIUI screen for about 15 minutes, relieved when it finally went through.
Now I'm already upgraded to 12.1.5 magisk 22.1 using the same method. Flash rom followed by magisk zip, like good old days.

So I'll have wait at boot for about 15 min? I'm afraid of screen burn-in.
Hi, I always use Orange fox but after the Android 11 update I am not able to see any files after installing custom recovery (Orange fox latest). When I boot my phone into orange fox recovery, it is not showing my files. Files are shown as renamed as fkffqwhfjkfhsf something like that

Can you see your files while your phone is booted into OS?
Chances are, the encryption type changed from FDE to FBE, meaning the master key no longer works.
I suggest you backup everything now to a computer, because you can end up like me, and lose access to any file on the phone.
If you saved everything you deem precious from your phone, you need to do a wipe, and then FORMAT /data in recovery.
This will factory reset your phone, but it will work proper with the recovery.
Hi all,
Yesterday I was messing around with V4A and following the final installation steps my phone got stuck in fastboot. To fix it I did the following:
1. I extracted the stock boot.img from my current OS version (10.3.12) and flashed it to boot_a and boot_b using fastboot. This restored the phone's ability to boot.
2. I booted the phone and went into the Magisk app to disable/unhide as much as possible and uninstalled the V4A app.
3. Rebooted into fastboot and booted into TWRP to remove Magisk, V4A and Vanced stuff from data/adb with the file manager.
4. Booted and flashed various combinations of TWRP versions (Mauronofrio, Bluspark) and Magisk (from 19.4 to 23.0). TWRP flashes fine and allows system to boot, but as soon as Magisk is flashed and a reboot is tried into system, it gets stuck on bootloader again and I have to repeat step 1.
(5. Tried patching stock boot.img file with the Magisk app. Same results as step 4.)
Does anyone here know what might be wrong? Is there another method I can try to regain Magisk without losing data?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: really at a loss here. Idk why but as soon as magisk is flashed, the system refuses to boot. Without flashing magisk, system boots fine – am typing from it now. I figured at first that it had to do with remnants of AML, V4A and other Magisk modules not being properly removed, but I've removed those through TWRP file manager.
Really hoping one of you can point out something I've missed or think of something else I can try.
EDIT: solved! See update below.
UPDATE: solved it by forcing a local upgrade of the full OTA through phone settings (same version as mentioned above), causing it to switch slots. On the other slot, the system managed to boot after flashing TWRP and Magisk (latest versions).
