Can't boot Magisk 21 and Android 11 - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

Updated to Android 11 (clean install) and can't get Magisk patched image to boot.
I'm using manager 8.0.2(307) and the latest Magisk is 21.0
I patched the boot image from the website, flash successfully, but it reboots to the bootloader saying "no valid slot to boot"
Is anyone else having this issue?
I know the unpatched boot image is ok because when I flash it back it boots up fine.
Am I missing anything?
Edit:
Was able to boot without issue with the latest Magisk Canary 04995881 (21002).
Apparently, it's related to these issues:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/3277
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/3271
I'm willing to help anyone else suffering from this issue get their phones booting back up.

Did you disable or remove all modules? See https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/3292#issuecomment-705764812
I have no modules installed, and had no problems with the Sept. update. I have not yet tried October.

I'm on the Oct update and I don't have any modules installed.
It's a clean install so I haven't even had the chance to install modules yet.
I might downgrade to Sept update if I can't root soon.

I am also having the "no valid slot to boot" error. I updated ota google play system update and then got an error to factory reset or try again. I have been trying to flash-all without -w to september and october factory images but still keep getting the error and cannot boot into system.
Can anyone help me fix this issue? I'm unable to use the adb magisk remove-module script.

There are some recent comments on running the remove-module script in the github link in post 2. Hopefully something there will help.

Not sure about the removing of the modules (maybe try the safe mode trigger built into the new Magisk?)
I was able to successfully boot by flashing the stock boot image, the updating to the latest Magisk Canary 04995881 (21002)

Looks like this was updated recently due to the two issues I listed earlier.
I'm gonna keep my magisk_patched.img for this build of Magisk and try with the latest beta and stable releases as they come out.
I'm happy to help anyone else get their build to boot, provide checksums for sanity checks, etc.

I can confirm that flashing the 11 image in its stock form first, letting Android upgrade your user data, then flashing the image with the patched boot.img file works!
Directly flashing an image over Android 10 with boot.img patched throws it into fastboot

Are you using Canary or Stable?
I had to switch to Canary to get it to boot.
I was coming from a clean install so I had no user data to upgrade.

I'm coming from a very unclean install and it worked perfectly with this method. Switched to Beta in Magisk Manager and running 21.0 (21000) on a Pixel 4 XL

My steps update to October patch

My Mi A1 is unlocked by MiFlash stock rom and rooted by ghpranav's AIO Tool. It has updated to September patch and with FlashFire + SuperSu.
The followings is my steps update to October patch,
1. Download ravinder0003's CF auto root boot.img and copy it into adb folder.
2. Connect Mi A1 with PC,
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot getvar all
3. Slot b is current active slot in my phone which has September patch and rooted. Slot a is unrooted.
Code:
fastboot set_active a
fastboot reboot
4. Reboot system into slot a. After reboot, system update to October patch, the patch will be updated into slot b.
My update patch is huge size, 1060.5MB. As we konw the patch should be 118MB from September to October, I don't know why my size is so huge. Maybe because I deleted some media file and systme apps after I updated September patch in slot b before.
5. Auto reboot after success update and I got bootloop on Mi logo.
6. Press Volume down + Power buttons to enter fastboot mode.
7. Reboot system into updated slot b.
Code:
fastboot set_active b
fastboot reboot
8. System has updated to October patch. Then get root,
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
Waiting auto reboot in several minutes, be patience.
Open FlashFire app to confirm whether system get rooted.
That's all and for your reference.

Before I update system, I forgot to check which month's patch in my slot a. So when I update to October patch in slot b, I don't know which patch is in my slot a now.
In your case, if October patch is in your slot b, September patch is in slot a, when you boot to slot a, of coursre you go back to September patch.
Hey I just bought the A1 and installed the October update before doing anything. But now I want to root or flash TWRP, what steps should I take? Can't find anyone with Oct patch to help me.

Unlock your phone first.
And October update patched root image file click here .
Will I need to reflash everything that works on the system partition as well ? (For example, Xposed, Viperaudio, GLTools, etc)
I am stuck in a boot loop. I tried to update from September to October image using miflash. When it was in September build it was rooted and I installed Xposed. I am waiting from 1hr still it's in boot loop. Plz help.

I suggest you download stock rom from here and MiFlash it with "Save User Data" option.
So you get October build, then unlock and root your system next.

Thanks a lot for the reply bro. I flashed the October image from official MIUI site which you provided along with latest miflash but still getting bootloop. One thing I observed is that after flashing stock my bootloader automatically getting locked. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the stock image again, still getting bootloop. Tried in both slot a and b. Technically it should work, don't know why it's not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

no it says it "also contains the 5.1.7 changes for India" since there were issues with 5.1.7 update for India, it also includes the above changes for all other phones as well, so does not seem to be region specific

Is it possible to download it without having to install it right away? Phone is rooted and don't want to lose root in case it starts installing.

Done
To those of you that updated and are rooted, can you confirm you're not sporadically losing root like 5.1.7 was doing?

If it installs it won't be active until a reboot anyway, so as long as u don't reboot it won't change, even after install
I never lost root with 5.1.7 or any other 5.1.x rom (no twrp).

users were reporting losing root / twrp with OTA's
im on 5.1.7, if i update to 5.1.8 via system update wont it remove my twrp and root and kernel?
afaik it does...
I applied the OTA (full due to root) with the system installer and reinstalled Magisk via Magisk Manager BEFORE rebooting.
I never used TWRP on the OP 6 and rooted with Magisk, I don't need it. When I got my OP6, there was no TWRP available.
Magisk patched the boot image.
After a smooth reboot, the system was updated and Magisk kept installed.
And yes, TWRP is lost when updating that way but can be reinstalled via Fastboot if it is needed.
so what the proper procedure on installing updates without getting wiped?
so far the most logical way of doing it is downloading the OTA
installing it via twrp
then install twrp.zip in twrp after update
then magisk, then kernel and boot.
If you need TWRP, yes. If not, install via system, reapply Magisk to inactive slot before rebooting and reboot.
I am not sure whether TWRP uses the A/B structure. The system updater does so if for any reason the update dies not start, the old working system remains available and will be booted.
The anxiety whether the system will come up after an update is gone for me... I crashed my OP5 applying the Oreo update and had to setup it up from scratch... while abroad on Christmas.

Of course you lose root and TWRP as it loads a stock Boot.img which includes the OOS stock kernel and stick recovery. You will lose TWRP and Magisk, you have to reflash them.
@Eric214, you did read the original question #8 I was answering?
I answered on a sporadically loss of root, which meant for me after having root, it's suddenly gone without having installed something.
Don't jump on an answer without reading the question.

Well I must have read the question wrong as it sounded like some were losing TWRP and root sporadically after the update. I didn't not read it I just took it another way... sorry for confusion

Also, just as easy to just wait for Funk Wizard to post the official FULL zip on his thread and just Flash in TWRP. Last time I jumped the gun early I was on the beta 5.1.6 build but saw no issues whatsoever. I'll sit back this time.

If you only run Magisk and stock recovery, install the update, but before reboot , re-install Magisk to the other A/B side , then reboot. Then reboot, you'll have Magisk freshly installed.
This doesn't work for TWRP!

Of course I do... the Oreo update in December led to an unplanned factory reset of my OP 5 while abroad in Europe for Christmas. With A/B, this would not have happened because the present working OS (with Magisk/root) remains untouched and the update is installed in the other partition. If for any reason the updated OS is not coming up, the systems falls back and boots the previous (working) OS from where a new update or whatever measure can be initiated.
I wonder if (and if not why) TWRP does support that, installing the full update in the unsused slot (including TWRP itself and Magisk) and then boot that slot.
With these two partitions in use, you keep your phone working and avoid a soft brick. For the manufacturer it avoids trouble for the normal user in case an OTA fails...

No, but you may be able to install the OTA if you flash the vanilla image for your version.
The update process tells you which partitions are modified. Details in my guide.
Or just flash the whole rom.

Flashing a boot image won't lose data unless you use the wrong version and get unlucky.
Flashing any of the partitions that the OTA touches won't lose data.

I've unlocked my bootloader and I've read through the guide a few times now, but there's one thing I need to know before I begin. I'm running stock Android 10 build 11.0.10.0 only having the bootloader unlocked.
Am I able to flash the patched boot.img for V11.0.10.0 that you linked in your other post straight away without having installed any other boot.img previously?
I've only ever flashed Samsungs and a few Sony phones and I'd like to be thorough without cocking up.

Yes...
If you flash a patched boot.img then Magisk won't have a backup and you can't OTA without flashing the vanilla image. That's why the standard process is to boot the patched image and then use Magisk Manager to install Magisk.
If you're going to install TWRP then you need to install it before Magisk. There is no flashable TWRP, only the installer, and it trashes Magisk. You must use Magisk Manager to install Magisk after TWRP (or flash it from TWRP) since they both live on the same partition.

Thank you. All I want to do for the meantime is root and try out Magisk. I just wasn't sure if I was able to flash the patched .img without needing to flash anything beforehand.
Hopefully I don't make a mistake here and will come back to this thread once I've succeeded/messed up.

I successfully flashed the patched boot.img and installed Magisk Manager and the only options I have are to flash a zip in recovery (I don't have recovery, hindsight) and "select and patch a file". I don't know how to proceed with either of those options.
EDIT: When flashing the patched boot.img, I didn't realise I had to flash both A/B partitions and that is why it said Magisk wasn't installed. I'm now fully rooted and Magisk is installed.

That's why the standard way is to BOOT the patched image and use Magisk Manager to install.
If you want to flash partitions, you need to use the correct set (a or b). Fastboot can tell you (getvar current-slot). Flashing both is useless, since the inactive set of partitions is only used when doing OTA (or dual boot, for some brave souls).
If you're coming from phones without a/b partitions you should definitely read about them. Several things are quite different.

you have to uninstall magisk using "restore images", then install the OTA, then reinstall magisk to the inactive slot. it's failing the check on the boot partition if you're rooted

Thanks.
I think that the "Restore Images" option shows up when pressing the "Uninstall" in the Manager. Is it so?
Question: After OTA, can I just "Install" Magisk directly from the Magisk Manager?
Or would I need to patch the boot image and then flash it manually.

I tried the whole restore images and it failed so I tried to fastboot boot the unpatched 11.0.2.2. it booted but no wifi for. Whatever reason. I tried to download 11.0.4.4 on cellular but I don't have a stable signal so it kept failing. Can someone please post the 11.0.4.4 download image and post a link. It would be most appreciated. I cannot find any other way to download it.

you have to uninstall magisk using "restore images", then install the OTA, then reinstall magisk to the inactive slot. it's failing the check on the boot partition if you're rooted

Not that I don't believe you, but OnePlus never did this before for rooted users. It seems odd that they'd start doing this now.

It seems so. With an unpatched boot I can try to download, but with a patched boot it gives an error. I'm starting to lose my fondness for OnePlus.

Agree, never experienced this earlier.
It looks like an increment update (593MB) and will not download for rooted devices. I was able to update on an unrooted device but keep getting error message on mine which is rooted.
I guess we have to wait for the full update zip.

Yes, that was it. I had to MSM back to TMobile A10, unlock bootloader, convert to global A10, and then OTA to 11.0.4.4 - and then root.

For any other version you can d/load and install with a rooted device if you temporarily remove root, I've just done it this way. This assumes you have a stock and patched boot.img for your current ROM available (either in Magisk as a backup image or somewhere else). 4.4 wouldn't download whist I had the patched kernel installed, yes a new OP method.
1. Disable (no need to delete) your Magisk modules (to be safe)
2. Flash the stock boot image (for the ROM you're currently using) in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash boot <stock_boot>.img
3. Reboot and test, just to be sure (you shouldn't have root)
4. Boot from the patched (root) boot image (for the ROM you're currently using) in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot boot <patched_boot>.img
5. Now you'll have root back but the stock image will still be installed
6. Download the update, if it's taking a long time hit pause them resume a couple of times
7. Install the update and DO NOT REBOOT!
8. Open Magisk and install via direct method and DO NOT REBOOT!
9. Install Magisk again but this time use install to inactive slot method
10. Reboot when prompted
11. Reenable your Magisk modules
Full update is now available for download

I should have read this beforehand but I did it the same way as always. Magisk, restore images, OTA updates, magisk install to inactive slot and I get this and I can't get it to go away and it didn't update either. Root is gone as well but it didn't update.
Edit: it fixed itself after the 3rd attempted update. Lost root but that's an easy. I don't know why it did it. Leaving for anyone else that might have this issue

please try new uploaded stock boot imgs there fixed now sorry
so, what I (a newbie to rooting without TWRP) should understand is that if I am on stock I just have to unlock bootloader and flash the patched .img?

Just updated through updated stock image. Thanks for all your efforts
In my case I have found that it is not necessary to flash the stock boot image in order to update. I simply installed the update, rebooted to bootloader, booted the patched boot.img (not flashed), and installed Magisk to my boot partition from there. That way you don't permanently mismatch your ROM from your boot partition in case you are not using global ROM (which is the case for me). I don't know if the boot partition actually differs between the ROMs but this feels cleaner
Won't let me download the OTA after going back to stock bootloader. I have my CN OP9 cross flashed to global. I keep getting Couldn't Update Installation Problem. Guess i'll wait for Oxygen Update.

if it detects that your device is rooted, it will switch to downloading the full update instead of the incremental one. Maybe it is different on global ROM, but that's what worked for me
Thanks, updated from 11.2.4.4 with the stock boot img i found in the other thread with this guide.
