Here's an alternative method to install Magisk that support OTA updates (copied from the Mi A1 forum and expanded )
You need a PC with Android platform tools (they exist also for MacOS and Linux). When using Windows, you should also install MiFlash tool to get the required drivers to recognize the device.
BOOTLOADER UNLOCK
First thing to do: unlock the bootloader (if you didn't already do this, obviously). Smartphones with Android One are much easier to unlock compared to other Xiaomi phones with MIUI (where you have to ask for authorization and wait for weeks).
CAUTION: when you unlock the bootloader, the phone will reset, erasing all your saved data. Backup your data before unlocking.
1. Go to Settings > System > About phone > and tap many times on "Build number" until you unlock "Developer options" (on Andoird 9 "About phone" is right at the top of the Settings app).2. Go back to the previous page (i.e. Settings > System), where you can find now "Developer options". Go there and enable the "OEM unlocking" option (and it's better to never disable this).3. Now you can shutdown your phone, then turn it on while holding the "Volume down" button pressed. Release it when you see the Fastboot screen You can also use the command "adb reboot-bootloader" if you already connected the phone to the PC.4. Now connect the phone with your PC via USB cable, open an administrative command prompt, move to the directory where the Android platform tools are placed and unlock the bootloader with the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
The phone will reboot, erasing all the data.
Now you unlocked your phone's bootloader and can continue to the next section.
MAGISK INSTALLATION
5. Download and install on the smartphone the latest version of Magisk Manager's apk available.
You need the smartphone to be connected to the internet, because Magisk won't install and won't work properly without a connection.
6. Now you can easily download an already patched boot.img from the following list and jump straight to point 10 of this guide, or you can continue to the next point and learn to patch yourself an original boot.img
If you choose the short way, be sure that you select the patched_boot.img with the same "Build number" currently installed on your phone (see point 1 of this guide), and don't flash the file directly on the phone memory, because Magisk will not work properly (do exactly what this guide says, and you will not find problems, hopefully).
For our convenience, extract the patched_boot.img file in the same directory where Android platform tools are located.
patched_boot 9.6.4.0 (2018 July update) - patched with Magisk 17.1
patched_boot 9.6.6.0 (2018 August update) - patched with Magisk 17.1
patched_boot 9.6.8.0 (2018 September update) - patched with Magisk 17.1
patched_boot 9.6.9.0 (2018 October update) - patched with Magisk 17.1
patched_boot 9.6.10.0 (2018 November 1st update) - patched with Magisk 17.1
patched_boot 9.6.11.0 (2018 November 2nd update) - patched with Magisk 17.1
patched_boot 10.0.2.0 (2018 December upgrade to Android 9.0 Pie) - patched with Magisk 18.0
patched_boot 10.0.3.0 (2019 January update) - patched with Magisk 18.0
In case you erroneously flash those patched files directly on the phone, flash back the original boot.img via fastboot and follow the guide:
original boot.img 9.6.4.0 (2018 July update) - taken from fastboot ROM
original boot.img 9.6.6.0 (2018 August update) - taken from OTA update
original boot.img 9.6.8.0 (2018 September update) - taken from OTA update
original boot.img 9.6.9.0 (2018 October update) - taken from OTA update
original boot.img 9.6.10.0 (2018 November 1st update) - taken from OTA update
original boot.img 9.6.11.0 (2018 November 2nd update) - taken from OTA update
original boot.img 10.0.2.0 (2018 December upgrade to Android 9.0 Pie) - taken from fastboot ROM
original boot.img 10.0.3.0 (2019 January update) - taken from fastboot ROM
7. You need the original boot.img to patch. You can find it inside the official fastboot ROM zip for daisy. Check that the downloaded ROM version is the same as the "Build number" currently installed on your phone (see point 1 of this guide). If the versions are different, update (or downgrade if possible) your phone to that version. You can also download original boot.img elsewhere (for example at the point 6 of this guide), but always pick the same "Build number" of your phone.
After you get the boot.img, copy it to the phone memory (via USB or microSD, or download directly from the phone browser, as you prefer).
8. Open the Magisk Manager app installed previously, it will ask if you want to install Magisk. Accept by tapping on "Install" > "Patch Boot Image File" and select the boot.img file that you get on the point 7 of this guide.
9. Wait until the process completes (about 1 minute), then tap on "Close". Now in the phone memory, inside the Download directory, you should have a patched_boot.img file. Copy that file to the PC, inside the same folder where the Android platform tools are located, for our convenience.
10. Reboot the phone in fastboot mode (as already explained in point 3 of this guide), open an administrative command prompt, move to the Android platform tools directory and then write the following command:
Code:
fastboot boot patched_boot.img
If everything works the phone should boot normally. Open Magisk Manager and it should ask to install Magisk, if not you must tap on the "Install" button. Then choose "Install" > "Direct Install (Recommended)" to install Magisk on the phone, and reboot when finished.
11. Last step to stay safe when a new OTA update arrives: go to "Settings" > "System" > "Developer options" > and disable "Automatic system updates". From now on, you should check manually if a new OTA update is available.
Now the installation is finished, you can use Magisk Manager to install modules and manage root permissions.
HOW TO APPLY OTA UPDATES
UPDATE 9 February 2019 It seems that with the latest Magisk (v18.1) and Magisk Manager (v7.0.0) the following procedure is working fine again. I didn't test it personally, but some users gave positive feedback.
WARNING! January 2019 Since the arrival of Android 9 Pie, the OTA update with Magisk as described in the following section, doesn't seem to work anymore. It could work, but you could also get a bootloop with the risk of losing your data.
Before upgrading from Android 8 to 9, or doing an OTA update after Android 9 you should:
- backup your data;
- remove any lockscreen password or fingerprint;
- uninstall totally Magisk and reboot.
If after doing this you get a bootloop, you could try to manually flash the vanilla boot.img via fastboot on the current slot (the same version as the last installed OTA). If you managed to fix the bootloop you can then install Magisk anew, from step 5 of this guide.
If the phone wants your PIN or password to proceed after the OTA update or after fixing the bootloop, and your PINs or passwords doesn't work, then you could have to reset the phone (or erasing the data partition, that should be the same thing), losing all your data.
Last chance if everything fails, you can flash the latest fastboot ROM from the official Xiaomi site and the phone will be working again.
IMPORTANT: OTA updates will work only if all the partitions on the smartphone are untouched. Magisk Manager can restore the original boot.img following this section of the guide, but if you tampered directly with the system partition (e.g. manually editing build.prop) or other partitions, OTA will refuse to install.
You can try to fix OTA updates without the need to flash the whole original fastboot ROM, by flashing only the tampered partitions (usually only "system") with the corresponding img file found inside the fastboot ROM zip. Check the "Troubleshooting" section of this guide for details.
12. When you know that a new OTA update is available and you want to install it, open Magisk Manager, and tap on "Uninstall" > "Restore Images" but very important: absolutely don't reboot the phone now!
Important note: Magisk Manager will restore the boot.img that was found on the phone while installing Magisk. If the boot.img was already non-vanilla (for example you flashed the boot.img with TWRP before installing Magisk), Magisk Manager will backup that modified version of boot.img, and when restored the OTA will not work, as that's not a vanilla boot.img.
13. Close Magisk Manager and go to "Settings" > "System" > "System update" and install the OTA update. After the update is downloaded, a two-stages update will begin.
14. When both stages of the update process completed, it will ask to restart: DON'T DO IT!. Open Magisk Manager again and tap on "Install" > "Install" > "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)" and after that you can tap on "Reboot".
After the reboot you will have the updated Android version with Magisk already working.
Thanks to user @jashancheema for the Mi A1 guide and a bigger thanks to @topjohnwu for the OTA part and above all for developing Magisk.
TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING: before attempting any of the following operations, you must disable any screen lock, PIN or password, because you risk to not get back your data (encryption issues). It is recommended to take a backup, too (as every time a custom modding is involved).
You can get errors when installing OTA updates if you didn't follow meticulously the guide.
Check this list to try to find where the problem lies:
- when a new version is found, the updater will check if all the partitions on the device are untouched. If there is a partition that has been modified, the OTA updater will not proceed with the installation;- typically, the two partitions commonly modified by user modding are the boot partition (that's where Magisk and TWRP are installed) and the system partition (when you change a config file, add or remove a system app, etc.);- a system partition modified only by using Magisk modules is effectively untouched, because Magisk register all changes to /system in a file in the /data partition and then trick Android to believe those changes are really applied to /system;- boot partition instead is really modified, but if you install Magisk following this guide, Magisk will save a copy of the untouched boot partition, and restoring it before applying OTA update will make the update work.
Now, if you didn't follow this guide to install Magisk and you installed it in other ways, Magisk could alert you that he cannot restore the original boot.img (the boot partition) when you try to apply the OTA update.
To fix this, you can flash directly the vanilla (original, unmodified, untouched) boot.img taken from the point 6 of this guide, using those commands:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
fastboot flash boot_? boot.img
the first command will tell you what is the current slot in use (a or b), the second command will flash the original boot into the phone, but you have to change the "?" in the command with a or b (i.e. the current slot that the first command provided).
Remember that the boot.img file version must correspond to the Android build version currently running in your phone.
If the OTA update will still refuse to apply, probably you changed something directly in the /system partition (for example you changed something in the build.prop without using a Magisk module to do this).
In this case you have to flash the original system.img in the phone with those commands:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
fastboot flash system_? system.img
and as before, the first command will tell you the right slot to use instead of the "?" in the second command.
Here you can find the system.img extracted from the OTA updates zip (along with every other .img file inside that):
9.6.6.0 (August 2018) OTA update dump as .img files
9.6.8.0 (September 2018) OTA update dump as .img files
9.6.9.0 (October 2018) OTA update dump as .img files
9.6.10.0 (November 2018) full fastboot ROM
9.6.11.0 (November 2018) OTA update dump as .img files
If you want to obtain the system.img by yourself, you can find it inside the fastboot images but usually they are not updated monthly like OTA updates. But you can extract the system.img directly from the OTA update zips found in this thread (as I did above with my dumps), using the Python scripts found here.
To make the Python scripts work in Debian/Ubuntu and derivatives, you have to download both "extract_android_ota_payload.py" and "update_metadata_pb2.py", give them execution property and then install the package "python-protobuf". After this you can give this command to unpack the payload.bin file (that you must extract from the OTA update zip):
Code:
./extract_android_ota_payload.py /path/to/payload.bin
This will extract in the current directory all the .img files inside payload.bin, including the system.img
I don't know how to proceed in Windows, probably you only need to install the latest Python2 release and the script will work.
As the last resort, you can flash directly with MiFlash the latest fastboot image available (even if older than your current version). Use the "flash_all.bat" script but before take a backup of your data, because the phone will be fully reset.
If you don't want to take the risk of not doing a backup, use the script "flash_all_except_storage.bat" when flashing, so you will keep all your data, but be warned that sometimes you will not be able to access the data anymore, because of encryption problems.
Right after the flash, you can start following the guide from point 5 or 6.
It should not be a problem downgrading the build version via fastboot, as long as the Android main version remain the same (Oreo 8.1 at the moment).
Thx, nice work :good:
Thanks to the OP. Great post! Totally noob friendly guide. Nice work.
It should also work on mi a2, thanks!

Sure, but you can't use the posted patched_boot.img, because they're designed for Mi A2 Lite (daisy) and not for Mi A2 (jasmine).
EDIT: I posted the patched and original boot files for Mi A2 jasmine in the second post. I don't know if I can make a thread in the Mi A2 forum section with an adapted copy of my guide, there are already two guides there (even if not polished like this) and I don't want to create more confusion with a third guide about the same argument...

If you flashed directly the patched_boot.img via fastboot in both slots A and B as the other guide said previously, you must flash the original boot.img to both slots, then start the guide from point 10.

You tampered the system partition? Try flashing also the system.img in that case.
Another case could be that you made an OTA update from the June build to July: in this case the partitions on the other slot (probably only the boot partition) where lost when overwrited with fastboot (and cannot be restored, as we don't have any June build ROM or OTA).
If everything fails, do a full fastboot flash with MiFlash tool, but using the flash_all_except_storage.bat script, that should keep your data intact, restore all partitions (A and B) to stock versions and you can then apply OTA (before or after installing Magisk, but I suggest after installing Magisk so you can test if the guide works fine).

Same problem on mine, I don't know if it's a ROM bug or it's caused by unlocked bootloader or Magisk.
The only solution at the moment is charging while the phone is switched on.

Ciao BubuXP, provando a rimuovere Magisk (lasciando il bootloader sbloccato) tutto torna alla normalità, cosa dici, crea casino quando patcha il boot.img?
Since TWRP is unbootable under this build, you have to use patched boot trick to root this phone.
However, only Magisk 17.1 is usable on this build, Magisk 17.2 - 18.0 can't be installed properly.
So I made a custom update channel that fixed to Magisk 17.1 to assist me.
This guide requires unlocked bootloader - still, I won't introduce how to unlock it here, please Google for it.

Here's how to root:
1. Extract the D1C-0-6120-00CN-boot.img from my homebrew firmware written in previous guide, or extract the boot.img from the OTA package.
(Later versions will also provide the patched boot image)
2. Copy this boot.img to Download directory.
3. Install latest Magisk Manager from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
Remember to allow all the permission after installed.
4. Choose "Left Hamburger Menu" - "Settings" - "Update Channel" - "Custom", and type following URL:
Code:
https://dwz.cn/5I3anBD4
5. Back to Magisk Manager main interface, refresh it and check if latest version changed to 17.1.
Tap "Install" - "Install" - "Patch Boot Image", "Left Hamburger Menu" - "Download" - the boot img you copied.
And wait for the patching procedure complete.
6. Copy patched_boot.img from the Download directory of internal storage to PC.
7. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and execute following commands:
Code:
.\fastboot reboot-bootloader
.\fastboot boot D:\patched_boot.img
8. Open Magisk Manager, reinstall Magisk 17.1 directly.
9. Reboot your phone and all done.
Is this procedure familiar? Yes, it's the same method used on Nokia 7 Plus. But I wrote this guide to tell you few details that you need to notice.
Hope TWRP can be compiled for D1C-6120.
If you have already unlocked the bootloader then just flash the official TWRP for Nokia 6 and flash the Magisk v17.1 or 17.3 via TWRP normally. And TWRP 3.2.3.0 works well on Android P. I tested it and it works fine.

@hikari_calyx Does fastboot boot work for you on pie? For me, it does not. Almost shat my pants thinking my TWRP doesn't work but it does in fact work, just fastboot booting it does not work.
Finally got the official pie update on my TA-1033. (unlocked bootloader)
The standard versions of TWRP 3.2.3.0 / Magisk 17.3 / Magisk Manager 6.0.1 worked perfectly.
As above, "fastboot boot" doesn't work, but "fastboot flash" etc. does.
Happy days.

You can use the same procedure as hilarious calyx have said in the post
But the FASTBOOT command should be as
FASTBOOT flash boot patched_boot.img
It will permanently root your android
Magisk 17.1 is working
Or you can also flash official twrp available at twrp website and from there you can directly flash magisk 17.1 zip

Yes but twrp is not booting on my pie build because it is showing "failed to find device for partition system" and i am unable to apply update through sd card or through adb i don't know why so i am thinking to follow this steps hope it will work.

Why any module is not installing by magisk it's showing me unable to extract, i followed each and every steps as mentioned above and rooted my Nokia 6 again but it's not installing any module what's the reason behind it?
Not test on custom rom (because i am on stock rom 10.5.254 now).
Please find below steps to use gcam on any Zui rom:
- Root your device with magisk and patched boot
- install root browser and find build.prop in system folder (b4 editing, copy the file to another place and rename to build.prop.bak, then copy back to folder system. Your device will be safe with that new file)
- Open build.prop and copy this code to the bottom:
persist.vendor.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
Persist.vendor.camera.eis.enabled=1
- Reboot the phone
- Install this gcam: https://mega.nz/#!GrRlVSRa!MQjLBbqRKoMhxZjhLfE3pt4hhFDeRKO_dx65ziUtF9Q
Cheers!
P/s: On Zui 10 ported, no need to edit build.prop.
@vosathanh Kindly attach / upload / PM patched boot ZUI 10.5.254 file. Thanks in advance.
After flashing the patched boot file, Should I flash twrp and flash the magisk zip file? magisk zip file is standard i think, i have downloaded in mobile via magisk manager app.
Patched boot here: https://mega.nz/#!amh1kIzB!GChdAWSdNJmSmrgp01Ji9x4U4_riRz9_PLe6tY0vgqw
Install magisk apk 7.1.1 first. Reboot to bootloader and: fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
Reboot. Done

* Warranty is void
* I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone in mistaking anything specified here
* This guide requires intermediate knowledge
I'm posting this guide because I haven't found any special thread about it, and had to search multiple threads and websites to get a conclusion in how to root Magisk only (without flashing TWRP or any other custom recovery). Focused in not decrypting the phone, or modify any system partition for a full OTA compatibility.
Requirements:
* ADB/Fastboot & Motorola USB drivers installed - (PC)
* Unlocked bootloader - (Phone)
* Stock rom - (Phone)
* Magisk Manager (latest stable version installed on your phone)
* TWRP (compatible to the Moto G6 Play model) - please refer to this thread for more details. ***(Of course, you won't flash it!)
*** PLEASE! REFER TO THE UPDATES BELOW!!! ***
Tutorial:
1. Reboot to bootloader
2. Boot into downloaded TWRP using Fastboot code:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp_downloaded.img
(on TWRP ignore any password by canceling)
3. Backup stock boot image using:
Code:
adb pull /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/boot stockboot.img
4. Reboot system using ADB code:
Code:
adb reboot system
5. After rebooted, copy backed up stockboot.img to the phone internal memory
6. Install and open Magisk Manager, click [Instal] > [Install] > [Select and Patch a File] and select stockboot.img on internal memory.
7. After boot image patched, copy magisk_patched.img from phone Download folder to PC
8. Reboot to bootloader and flash magisk_patched.img to phone using Fastboot code:
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
9. After done, reboot system using fastboot code:
Code:
fastboot reboot
10. All done! Open Magisk Manager and check root! For future OTA updates already rooted with Magisk, I recommend this post: https:// www. the custom droid .com/install-ota-update-rooted-android-device-guide/ - (remove spaces )
[UPDATE 1]
I've noticed that Moto G6 simply forces reboot system before update the device, if we go to restore images in Magisk to try it out tutorial post from 10., it'll simply be removed after that.
Even doing so and going ahead to update the device losing Magisk, and still have to back up once more the new updated boot image and patch it on Magisk following my guide above, I got a bootloop patching the newest OTA with Magisk 20.0 (latest).
After almost losing indefinitely root access, I got it done, downgrading Magisk to 19.3.
For doing so, download Magisk 19.3 zip file from GitHub repository and copy it to the SD Card, boot up into TWRP using fastboot (without flashing) then proceed as read-only, after that, install Magisk 19.3 zip file to patch the OTA updated boot image, then it's done. Root it's working properly without updating Magisk.
I don't know exactly why the latest Magisk it is breaking the OTA updated boot image... Whatever, it's a good approach to get root access back after the recent OTA!
I still need to check if this workaround will be working on new OTA's. That's it.
[UPDATE 2]
After recent update - January 2020, my rooting workaround supporting OTA is working properly as followed solution on UPDATE 1, above.
I didn't test using latest Magisk 20.3 apk due the bootloop when patching boot image in Magisk 20. Don't know if that bug has been fixed...
Updating Magisk after successfully rooted using solution above will not result in a bootloop, but I do recommend downgrade Magisk when new OTA is released.
Hello, thank you for this guide. I'm having trouble with the last step, as I also am having a bootloop with the boot image patched with the latest Magisk. Would you care to elaborate on how do I install Magisk 19.3? Since I boot TWRP, but cant find the Downloads folder from the phone, where I put the Magisk-v19.3.zip file. Cheers!

First, if you have the actual boot backup, you'll need to flash it to fix bootloop.
Remember to boot into TWRP (without flashing) to flash it.
* Follow the samples above for the codes if necessary.
After fixing bootloop all you'll need to do is download the Magisk-v19.3.zip from “Magisk GitHub releases” and place it on the external sd card.
Then boot into TWRP (always without flashing) and flash the zip file using TWRP. (Remember to flash to boot image).
It'll simply patch your boot, after that, reboot, if successfully booted go check Magisk.
This thread will contain the magisk patched boot.img that i use on my oneplus 7t device running lineageos 18.1.
Ill be putting up two boot images on every new lineageos builds, the first one will be the magisk patched image, the other one will be the default bootimage (incase anyone wants to roll back).
Disclaimer:
I will not be held responsible for any bricked devices, you can follow the flashing instructions directly from topjohnwu, the patched bootimage only contains magisk.
Installation Instructions:
1. Type in adb devices (If your device does not appear then fix it before continuing)
2. adb reboot recovery
3. Once booted into the lineageOs recovery, select "Advanced"
4. Once inside "Advanced", select "Enter fastboot"
5. Then make sure your linux/windows machine recognizes your devices by typing in fastboot devices (If not recognized you cannot proceed the flashing)
6. Then flash the patched boot.img with "fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched.img"
7. And reboot the device by "fastboot reboot"
Reboot and enjoy.
The above instructions are for devices with lineageOs recovery, for other recoveries you would have to figure it out on your own. If i move to other recoveries ill update the installation instructions here.

I have read in the thread that magisk can be installed via adb sideload
And while updating lineage OS, we have to tick magisk to install on inactive slot before booting.
But I am confused about magisk patched boot image.
What is the method to install it?

Hi, i would recommend installing the update from the native updater, that takes care of most of the things for you out of the box.
After you install the update keep the patched bootimage in a directory that's easily accessible on your pc. Then follow the below instructions (Make sure your device is connected via adb),
1. Type in adb devices (If your device does not appear then fix it before continuing)
2. adb reboot recovery
3. Once booted into the lineageOs recovery, select "Advanced"
4. Once inside "Advanced", select "Enter fastboot"
5. Then make sure your linux/windows machine recognizes your devices by typing in fastboot devices (If not recognized you cannot proceed the flashing)
6. Then flash the patched boot.img with "fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched.img"
7. And reboot the device by "fastboot reboot"
And you are done, once booted up you will see that magisk root status is back and all your previously installed magisk modules and xposed modules work as before the update.
Thanks
I just installed the most recent version of LOS nightly and used the patched boot.img in this thread to install Magisk, using the directions that you've posted. However, I don't see any modules in the module repo section of the app. What am I doing wrong? It tried switching to canary or stable. I connected to the Internet and tried to hit the refresh button.
1. Which version of the Magisk app file do I use? I got mine from this thread:

Magisk canary removed magisk hide and the list of modules. Stick with magisk v23 stable to get magisk hide and module list.

Hi, the boot.img is the stock boot image, if you want to get magisk 20.3 stable you will have to flash the file named something like "magisk_patched-2300". I have kept the stock boot image as just a last resort for anyone who faces any difficulty with magisk to roll back easily.
You can have the file installed before the flashing and once you are done with flashing the magisk status will be enabled. Personally i dont install the app, after flashing on the first boot you will get a prompt to place a shortcut icon of magisk on your homescreen, which is much better for magisk hide detection.
This is the stable build boot image patch, for canary you will have to patch the image yourself, as i dont use canary for stability purpose.

Thank you @HueyT and @Backstab319 for your help. I was able to successfully install Magisk using the .apk version posted in the github repo (link in my original post).
@Backstab319 just to clarify, the boot.img that you include in your links, you say, are of the "stock boot image". By this, do you mean the...
1. boot.img from the OOS Firmware installed before installing LineageOS
OR
2. boot.img from the LineageOS nightly?
I assume it's 2, correct? The boot.img being patched in Magisk manager is the one from the LineageOS being installed, correct?
Thank you.

Yes, its the boot.img extracted from each of the lineageOS nightly release.
The latest magisk 24.1 seems to break everything that it is known for except root status. Safteynet fails, zigisk and denylist do not work. External modules cannot be installed. So am gonna stay with 23.0 for now, the latest images will be uploaded in this weekend.

Yes. Better to switch to Magisk 24.1 after everything gets fixed. For now V23 has no issues.

Yeah, the command is correct.
Which magisk version are you having the issue with?
I had similar issue with magisk 24.1 so i rolled back to 23.

first tried 24 but had problem so now on the 23 rollback and it's been going for 15 minutes. should i have flashed magisk first then lineage? also one question where it say's "And reboot the device by "fastboot reboot" do i just hit reboot into system from fastboot mode?

Oh, i had the same scenario. Tried installing 24.1 didn't work, tried rolling back to 23. But sadly rolling back from 24 to 23 caused bootloop for me as well. I ended up flashing the rom again (fresh) and then it started working.
