Magisk crashing when trying to patch boot.img (March Patch) - Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers

As the title says, Magisk crashes when I try to patch the boot.img after installing the latest March security patch on my Pixel 3a.

You are right, wait for a fix at
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/dev-magisk-canary-channel-bleeding-edge-t3839337
In the meantime, I did go back to the February security patch...

Thanks for letting me know, should've checked the Magisk Canary thread first ^^
However, I get into a bootloop when I try to downgrade back to the February patch. Guess I'll just wait it out...

I'm on the March patch as well and I was able to successfully patch the boot.img using the lastest magisk manager.

That's weird. How did you update? Magisk OTA, sideload OTA or flashing March factory image?
In any case, would you mind sharing your patched boot.img? I'm not sure I want to live without root until they fix it ^^
EDIT: Scratch that, it seems that flashing a prepatched boot.img causes a bootloop. They probably changed something in the files, that causes the issues when flashing the factory image.

I had the same issue with crashing while patching. I had to install MagiskManager 7.5.1 from the xda forum. After that patching succeeded.

But 7.5.1 is the stable/beta relase channel which doesn't even support Android 10 yet?! I can patch the boot.img with that, but it doesn't boot.

I had no problems applying the February update but I did it before it was available through system update. So I had to do it the long way - uninstalling magisk, downloading the update and installing it, downloading the boot image, patching it, and then installing the magisk patched boot image. It all worked fine though with no issues after the update.
My Magisk version is 20.3 and Magisk Manager is 7.5.1.

If I remember correctly versions before 19.1 /7.3.x didn't support Android 10. For me 7.5.1 worked flawlessly.

Weird, thanks for letting me know. I manually updated through flashing the March factory image and when I patch the boot.img through MM 7.5.1 I just get into a bootloop.

I did the sideload. 7.5.1 beta. Patched ok. Flashed ok all set for another month.

Could you upload your patched boot.img please?

It said file too large when I tried. It's about 30MB. Not sure what's up with that.

Latest magisk from topjohnwu's github set to beta update channel, March update straight from Google, bootloader unlocked. Patched with magisk 1st time, and flashed via fastboot. Booted first time.
Not sure what to advise, just wanted to let you know that it does work with the latest versions of both magisk and firmware. Did you enable adb and enable OEM unlock in Developer Options?

Super, tx

Is anyone else having issues with Safetynet CTS after the latest security patch? For some reason it doesn't work for me anymore. I haven't made any other changes.

Me too. It's the first time now with the March update.
"cts profile: false"

Made an account to say I had the same problem with Pixel 3XL and I did what captain sideways posted. I went to the github for magisk, took the apk from the latest zip file release and installed that. I was able to patch my boot image afterwards. Root works fine. I flashed the patched boot image to both slots. However, the ctsProfile does fail like mentioned above.

Is it safe to update to 5.1.11 on a rooted devices now or should I wait later?

It took me 3 nights just to get magisk and exposed running properly on 5.1.9, should I update to 5.1.11 now? Are all the rooting programs like Xposed, TWRP and magisk patched for 5.1.11? If so do I need to go all the way from the start and flash TWRP again after the update?

Yes but you need to just repeat your action is easily take 5 minutes [emoji846]
Flash the full ROM zip in TWRP, flash TWRP installer zip to patch the boot image again, reboot recovery to make it switch to the now active slot, flash magisk, reboot to system and you're done.
When applying the patch in form of the Full-OTA properly, this is a matter of less than a few minutes. I am curious - how did you manage to waste three nights for this?
Be aware that the simple path forward ( 09 to 11 ) works. It did for me. I am simple. But many, many people found the path back ( 11 to 09 ) was broken by oneplus . A lot of these people are vested in custom rom solutions.
.
Here is a quote from Joe Moss, Jr.
IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THERE DATA PARTITION BEING ENCRYPTED. THIS IS BECAUSE IF YOU FLASH A NEWER ROM WITH A SECURITY PATCH LEVEL OF AUGUST AND TRY TO GO BACK TO OOS WHICH IS JULY TWRP WILL NOT BEING TO DECRYPT THAT. BECAUSE YOUR DATA IS NOW AUGUST PATCHED WHILST YOUR SYSTEM READS JULY .AS OF NOW I DON'T HAVE A PC TO FULLY TEST AND FIX THIS ISSUE. ONLY WAY TO FIX IS BY FORMATTING DATA.
Safe with masgisk but no root after that
With magisk is safe no bug
Worked here 1st try no issues and I have a tendency to mess stuff up. I did TWRP, full .11 release, TWRP, latest magisk, blu kernel(all from TWRP). Safetynet apps like my bank and googlepay work.

It's my understanding that the dated security patches come from Google not OnePlus. Is this no longer correct?

Yes, I believe you are the correct one sir.
Point. If oneplus had given us all the latest patch ( August ) instead of last month's . . . Come on onplus. . . . How hard would have that been ?

Yeah or atleast the 7/5 patch. I don't get how they couldn't have pulled that in. There were a lot of QCOM bug patches in there.

Thanks Maher for you tutorials and help. I was able to instal Global Firmware and update to August OTA. I then used this rooting guide and it worked great. You should link this rooting guide to the last step on the Global Firmware tutorial as optional for people who want to root.
Any root for September? My phone auto updated from August patch. Thanks for all the hard work!
P.S. When a new security patch is installed is it supposed to unroot your device and you have to re-apply one of the patches above to fix?

Bro, i am rooted with magisk via patched boot image. So to install OTA i need to restore stock boot image right? For that can i restore stock image by going to magisk->uninstall->restore images?

in order to uninstall magisk you need twrp and OTA not working with custom recovery so easier for you to flash the stock boot

updated OP with nov images
one report of nov 2019 update breaking google pay
The boot images are very helpful. Thanks!
I initially used the one patched for Magisk and was able to get root on the Nov release. Than I tried to install EdXposed Yahfa version (after installing Riru 19.5) and I got stuck in during boot at the "G logo" screen.
I was able to get back to a non-rooted system by reflashing the unpatched boot.img file. Now I need to figure out how to disable the Edxposed modules while staying on the November patch. The instructions for disabling Magisk modules seem written for a release earlier than Nov or they assume you have TWRP.
Any quick pointer on how to disable my Magisk modules on the November release?
if you can push the magisk uninstall zip to your device, then fastboot booting into twrp then flashing the magisk uninstall zip that should do the trick.

Thanks for the pointer. I wasn't sure if that Disabler would work with the November image.
I ended up reflashing the factory default and than reapplying the correct files. I now have GravityBox running on the Nov Image!
Up and running with OP's patched image and November "dirty" flash. Don't use G-pay so no report on that.
Edit - patched IMG after first boot shows magisk 19.5 installed, not 20.2 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OP updated to show 19.5.
Had the same issue and ran into the problem getting the modules disabled. Glad you were able to get it up and running.

i think doing a full uninstall of magisk (removes modules and settings) might be best until twrp or something else comes along...

Which version of Magisk did you use to patch the boot image? I tried using stable and canary to patch the stock boot image when I updated earlier, but each time it would just reboot straight to bootloader.
i patched with 20.2-72edbfc4 .

I read through this thread and the other thread you referenced, Has anyone tried topjohnwu's method: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tutorials.md ? I used with the November update and had no issues. It doesn't involve flashing patched image.
Is root working for anyone else on the Dec update? I just flashed it and Magisk detects that it's installed (20.2 so I'm guessing it's Canary as the latest stable/beta is 20.1) but no root apps work at all.

I used this method and it worked with no issues. It was only the second time i used this method but with others having issues with the factory image and patched boot image i thought I'd give it a try.

March Boot file - stock & patched

In case it helps anyone out, here is a link to the stock boot.img from March QQ2A.200305.003, and one I patched with Magisk 20.3 (20300).

Patched file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DA7vt1AtFmtc4XYX5_UCTjbkEa0fweuc
These files are to install Magisk. Please only flash it if you are already on March update. This is not March OTA!

You've already updated to March and booting OK?
Have Magisk Manager installed?
You could flash the stock file and modify itself with your install of Magisk and see if that makes any difference.
I'm not sure how many people have flashed this? Not sure if anyone else has had issues with it?

I'm not sure how many people have flashed this? Not sure if anyone else has had issues with it?

No I'm still on January, I never got the Feb OTA and didn't bother to try manually since it didn't seem significant enough but I wanted this March update because of the new Pixel drop feature set.
You can't flash the March boot image if you're still on January! That's why you're having issues.
You need to flash the boot mode mage from January, or update to Match firmware

I tried to do this with the March update downloading it from Google and the result was the same as onlyguynamedniles, my touchscreen not working, I am in February update.
Last month there were several downloads for February, this time for March only one file available.

You flashed the March boot.img on your February firmware? Why?

sorry but this was my first time trying this, before all I had to do was:
when OTA was available, went to Magisk Manager/Uninstall/Restore Images (Not Reboot)
applied OTA as everyone ormally would Settings/System/System Update (Not Reboot)
then, go to Magisk Manager/Install/Install to Inactive Slot
finally, after installation done, reboot
but this march update is not appearing so steps I've tried this time:
1. Got the latest boot image
2. Patched boot image in magisk manager
3. Flashed magisk-patched boot image
please your help what's missing?

If you're not getting the March OTA, you need to download it from Google and sideload it. https://developers.google.com/android/ota
There is a thread here somewhere which shows how to do this.
The boot.img I shared above is for people who need it for Magisk and saves them downloading the ~2GB factory file.

Affirmative :good:
dang is it that hard to understand . if youre build number does not look exactly like this QQ2A.200305.003 then do not use these boot.img's
its that simple this is not to upgrade you to the march sec patch with root this is for people already on the march sec patch to use to gain root
FIXED IT!! After taking the March update I flashed this patched img the phone boots up to a black screen. If you use the power button it brings up a White menu with "power off" "restart". So then I turn the phone off and load fastboot and flash the stock boot img and everything works again. Any ideas? Figured it out.... Magisk modules that were running.
Can you flash any of them without the use of a computer?

Nope. TWRP or any other recovery is not yet compatible.

Yes with ex kernel manager it's possible
Here's an updated patched March 2020 QQ2A.200305.003 boot image with Magisk 20.4.
I've been using it for the last 2 days and haven't noticed any problems as of yet. Couldn't direct install in Magisk Manager, so feel free to use this if it makes things any easier. OP, please feel free to add this link to your post if you want.

Added to OP, cheers

Accidentally OTA updated my pixel, all fine but root gone

So i accidentally updated my pixel firmware via official OTA update (security patch 5. january 2021). First i was scared of a bootloop but it all went fine and booted.
Of course my root is gone now, but i want to root it again. Bootloader is still unlocked. Does anyone know, if i can just flash the magist boot.img again and it will boot fine? Or is there a risk that maybe THIS will cause a bootloop?
Thanks!

You need to patch the new boot.img.

Open Magisk manager app
Select install magisk
Select and Patch a File
Copy new patched boot.img to pc
Flash
well, was a bit hasty here. I knew i could patch it via magisk, but last time there already was a patched image given. How can i extract my boot.img without root now? Or is there maybe a given for the last update?

Normally you have to go to google firmware page and download it.
Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers
developers.google.com
Are you guys having the SafetyNet passed?

No you don't. You only have to repatch the new boot image when a new major Android revision comes out. For example going from Android 11 to 12. I've updated my Pixel 5 every month a new update comes out. And I've always used the same boot.image file. No need to keep wasting your time patching that file. When you look through the OTA files you'll notice that none of those files in the zip file are a boot.image file. Meaning it doesn't touch it when it's doing the OTA.

That is kind of useful, thank you for sharing. Can someone confirm this?
@hanni2301 Have you succeeded in getting root back ? I got the same problem today....
Why do you ask me?
I always patch the actual boot.img out of the monthly factory image with magisk (beta or Canary) first and flash then the factory image, reboot, flash boot boot.img and afterwards the custom kernel.
@xT29c said that you can reuse ure patched boot.img from last month, as it changes only between different mayor Versions.
So you can save some time, but the process is still the same.
IMO, yes, you should always patch the new boot.img from each months new factory image in Magisk when re-rooting.
Do you need to? i suppose that's up to you. However I think you should want to.
Essentially, you're missing out on any code changes/fixes, etc that Google may have added to the new months kernel.
~ Maybe an idea for a new thread to upload the Pixel 5 stock boot.img from each months new OTA, along with a Magisk patched boot.img. ~
Same issue losing root. But when I try to open Magisk manager app, it says "upgrade to full Magisk Manager to finish the setup. Download and install?" I click "OK". But the next time I try to open it, it just keeps doing the same thing.

I am not sure, but this may be because Magisk Manager is no longer..
