I have a google pixel recently rooted with Magisk and have TWRP. My system is informing me of a system update, and it says Couldn't install update. I've seen people suggesting using FlashFire to flash a factory image of the update, then install Magisk right after that. So how would i go about it? can i do just that? is it possible to update that way? can i flash both magisk and twrp after flashing the factory image? thanks in adv

2x speed video of my using FlashFire to update the Pixel to the February Android 8.1 update, plus flashing ElementalX custom kernel v3.02 and Magisk v14.2. A little less than 3 minutes at this speed.

You have to be on Magisk 14.2 (not a higher version) to begin with, though, so if you're not, disregard this, or search for and read the appropriate posts for uninstalling Magisk and installing the correct version in order to use FlashFire under 8.1.
Hello!
I have FRD-L09 with latest officially available firmware(FRD-L09C432B360) EMUI 5.1
I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP 3.1.1-1-FRD.
I have tried installing custom ROMs, Lineage and the one newer from it. Bootloop.
Magisk. Bootloop.
SuperSU. Bootloop.
On Lineage ROM, i got bootloop despite formatting data before and wiping cache/dalvik after flashing.
On Magisk, i have tried latest stable(v16) and test build(v16.6), both resulting bootloop despite if i wipe cache/dalvik or not. Magisk uninstaller works though, so i don't need to restore the whole ROM again.
Exactly same thing with SuperSU.
And by bootloop, i mean that the Honor intro plays only like 2 seconds and the phone restarts.
Any wild guesses what could be wrong? Apparently the TWRP flashes them right, because Magisk uninstaller works.
I found out o some random thread that the Magisk needs a newer firmware. Coincidentally the newest update 402 came out, so i tried to install Magisk, and it works.
At the same time the TWRP app got installed also.
I haven't found anywhere that all those apps are firmware-dependent.
I'm pretty sure i couldn't be the only one who recently updated from 16.0 to 17.0 (Stable Channel). I first updated the magisk manager and it prompted me to flash 16.0(1600) instead of a 17.0 version. Well since i flashed the 16.0(1600) version it prompted me to download, i got into a nasty bootloop and thankfully recovered with me having the stock ROM in my storage. I'm wondering if anyone else went through the bootloop i did this morning and if people should just flash the newer zips outside of the manager

I also got a bootloop but I flashed 17.0 through twrp. I had to go through the qualcomm drivers process to unbrick it because it was hard bricked lol
Flashed uninstall magisk and than magisk 17 and all worked well.

That's horrible to have a hard bricked device. There's a hotfix that just got released right at this moment (17.1) so i'd recommend you to download that and continue the process to try getting root access back
Got the same problems as described here. Then I downloaded the latest Magisk uninstaller and Magisk 17 from the Magisk thread. The next step was to flash the uninstaller and afterwards Magisk 17 and the device booted well.
Running 17.1 and still getting the same thing with safety net check as before
The response is invalid

Yeah that's what I did and everything is fine... For now lol. Thanks
From Magisk 17.0 to Magisk 17.1, install it automatically. SafetyNet test successful
it's better and more secure deinstall first magisk manager clearing cache and data, install magisk 17.1 from twrp and if magisk manager doesnt be installed, install the apk
Strange thing happened after flashing an update to stable 12.1.1.0 yesterday. As usual lost root, so then downloaded through Magisk Manager the 21.4 zip. Rebooted into TWRP and flashed, then had bootloop at the MIUI screen. I thought this was due to modules, so disabled them with Magisk Manager for Recovery Manager but no joy. I then downloaded 21.4 zip from web site (and uninstaller) and copied to phone, but still no joy with these (and no obvious errors).
In the end, I took the boot.img and patched using Magisk Manager, then flashed via TWRP. This took two attempts and then Magisk Manager said it 'needed to download' additional something or other. It was then I found that Magisk Manager had redownloaded and the 'hidden' version was not detecting root (however the one that just downloaded did). OK, so uninstalled the hidden one and went through setting up the new Magisk Manager again. I lost all modules and all settings for apps that were hidden from root, but got it all sorted pretty quickly.
My question is, has anybody else ended up in this bootloop, as I have never had any problems before reapplying the Magisk zip after getting the monthly stable update.....
I had rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 using TWRP (latest version) and Magisk version 23.0. Everything worked well until 2 days ago when magisk auto updated to version 24.1.
After this, all the options available on 3home page disappeared except option to install magisk 24.1 and magisk app.
I was expecting gydisk OP to be available as seen in various screenshots from internet about magisk 24.1 but unfortunately, didn't see any option to enable it (Screenshot attached).
Thinking the magisk update may gone haywire, reinstalled the stock firmware for my Galaxy Note 8 phone, flashed TWRP, RMM_Bypass_v3_corsicanu.zip, Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip, Magisk 24.1, successfully.
However when rebooted into system, the magisk app still showed no option for Gydisk or any other option except previously mentioned above I.e Install magisk or magisk app.
Have checked & found OEM unlocking and USB debugging is still open.
Now I am lost and wondering where could I be going wrong.
Appreciate very much if someone can guide me in right direction in getting Gydisk option si that I can pass the safety check and hide magisk.
Your screenshot shows that Magisk is not installed.
You only installed the app. Try install in the upper right corner and choose for direct install without patching.

Thank you xabu for your reply.
I had tried to install it numerous times using the direct install method as suggested by you but it gives me a "installation failed" message (Screenshot attached).
Also, presuming that my previously installed magisk v 23.0 may not have been uninstalled during the process of auto update to magisk version 24.1 (only 24.1 app installed but not magisk itself not upgraded due to unknown reasons), I reinstalled the app v 23 and uninstalled magisk completely. Frustrated, I installed the stock firmware again, reinstalled TWRP and flashed magisk 24.1. However, the result appears to be same. No magisk installation.
It appears to me that magisk v 23 is not yet completely uninstalled as if I delete this 24.1 app, reinstall app for 23.1 most of the functionality comes back though not all. I still can't hide magisk but it passes safety check.
Also I have tried to uninstall any previous version of magisk using renamed magisk app as uninstall.zip via TWRP. Also I get following message:
"cannot find vbmeta partition, patch vbmeta in boot image.
Removing magisk files."
Now when I go to Magisk app, I get only option to "select and patch a file."
Appreciate if anyone can suggest me a way forward.
Also, I get the vbmeta partition not found error while trying to install Magisk via TWRP (screenshot attached)
I have selected and installed Magisk patched boot image file using ODIN3. Removed TWRP. Tried to install using Magisk app 24.1 but get installation failed due to unable to check signature (screenshot attached).
Request some guidance.
Start here ....
Magisk - The Age of Zygisk.​Your questions are very interesting but too difficult for me to answer. Magisk 24.1 normally replaces the 23 almost automatically .... By uninstalling the module the situation becomes completely different and you should probably start from scratch. In my link "start here" you'll find the place where real specialists are.
Wishing you all the best !
Appreciate your advice.
However, I have reinstalled the stock firmware 3 times since this morning just as to ensure that I start from a clean slate. Also used Adb commands to uninstall any remanants of the previous Magisk manager if at all left there.
However, still stuck with the puzzling question as to where am I going wrong.

The same thing happened to me so i tried and tried and tried for like 4-5 hours after reinstalling multiple times the firmware so i gave up and came to the conclusion that its not supported yet for a few phones like the Note8 (SM-N950F ~ my version of the phone).So the only thing you can do rn is to stick to version 23.0 then go to settings and change the channel to custom channel and paste this link "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/t...304e59f631280cc26ccc6d40a7cf04f7f37/beta.json" in there so the magisk version doesn't update itself or you update it by accident

Definitely. I have installed Magisk 24.1 Canary using patched AP file from stock firmware, and then reinstalled the Magisk 24.1 Canary version. It has been working without any issues since then.
Don't forget to install universal safetyNet Fix.
Let me know if you run into any issues.
