I've seen most people on the latest roms for One Plus 7 Pro preferring to flash magisk canary by using the boot.img from the roms. Why is this method preferred over just adb sideloading the normal magisk.zip file and installing the app when booted?

Hey all,
I am rooted with Magisk 17.3 on global hardware and global ROM stock MIUI 10.2.2.0, but I cannot install any Magisk modules or flash Magisk ZIPs in TWRP. I know root works because I've edited system files and allowed a few apps root permissions. But when I try to install something with Magisk Manager (6.1.0 since 7.0.0 doesn't work < v18) I get this error: /data/adb/magisk_merge.img mount failed... abort or it tells me Magisk 17.x+ isn't installed. (I've tried the Magisk Mod Uninstaller, Youtube Vanced, and LKT). When I try to flash a Magisk ZIP in TWRP it gives me Error: 1
I did some searching and some people were getting this due to their filesystem being formatted as f2fs in the past, but I verified that the Mi Mix 3 uses EXT4 using DiskInfo.
Did I miss something during the rooting process? I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP in fastboot, flashed Magisk 17.3 in TWRP, and verified root was achieved with Rootchecker. The Magisk Manager app also says it's installed and passes SafetyNet. Anyone have any ideas?
Do you use a custom kernel?
Try the latest Magisk canary build and see if that works

No it is the stock kernel that came with the MIUI 10.2.2.0 global build. Should I be using one?
Quick update: I am able to install some modules now by downloading them in Magisk, then booting to TWRP and flashing the ZIP there. I was able to get Magisk Mod Uninstaller (mm) and LKT to run for example using this method. YouTube Vanced still gives me the Error: 1 when I do this however.
The try a custom kernel, had the same problems with any modifications to the system with stock kernel.
As far as I know there are only two kernels atm, friendly fire and androplus.

Hi,
Yes you can, flash the latest installer via Magisk as a module, please note however that you need to reboot into TWRP and flash Magisk again.
I'm trying to install twrp on the way to installing Magisk Manager but I don't see the Pixel 4a on the device list here:
Google
This is the Team Win website and the official home of TWRP! Here you will find the list of officially supported devices and instructions for installing TWRP on those devices.
twrp.me
Now it looks like there is a custom version of twrp for most of the phone models out there but I'm not really sure that's the case. Perhaps there is only one "lastest version" of twrp for all phones or individual operating systems. Anyway is there a version of twrp for my Pixel 4a running Android 11?
If not is there another custom recovery that anyone would recommend?
Thank you!
I'm also looking for one

You don't need TWRP in order to install Magisk Manager / Magisk framework:
[Guide][Root] Magisk without TWRP on Android P
Via Magisk Manager: This method does not need root, and also does not require a custom recovery. However, you MUST have a stock boot image dump beforehand, and you also have to be able to flash the patched boot image, either through fastboot mode...

As I understand it they're two separate things magisk is a framework and magisk manager is an application that uses that framework. I rooted with magisk no problem but I can't unlock my financial apps without magisk master and a module I believe.
Hi, I am trying to flash magisk. I patched my boot.img and flashed it via fastboot. But it didn't work, Magisk app was still showing as not installed. Then, I tried the Recovery method (flashing the magisk zip), it tells that magisk patched to the boot.img file but this method didn't work too. But it said magisk patched to the boot.img. What can cause it?

Flashing the Magisk patched boot.img only installs the necessary binaries to gain root access, you have to manually install the Magisk Manager app to take advantage of the binaries that it installs. Flashing the patched boot.img does not automatically install the Magisk app on your device as part of the flashing process.
As above, I would appreciate it if someone could share a copy of a Magisk patched 11.0.5.1.GM21AA boot image. Thanks!
P.S. - Do not update to Magisk 24 or 24.1 unless you want to have to mess around with your phone!

I also had problems with updating Magisk trough the app. No root after reboot.
Could not get root access with flashing magisk in twrp. I tried several version of magisk but nothing worked. Ended up using the patched boot.img
Dont know what the problem is.

Thanks a lot!
I managed to get Magisk 23 installed, would the patched boot image be different from yours?

How did you do??
I tried to downgrade Magisk to 23.0 due to the lack of Magisk Hide but now my OnePlus 7 Pro is no longer rooted. So I tried to re-root it in several ways (flashing boot.img previously patched with Magisk Manager or by directly installing Magisk.zip with TWRP) but nothing to do, still without root...
I would like to try to use another boot.img but I would need one taken from a rom 11.0.5.1.GM21BA and patched with Magisk 23. I can't find it on the net.

Once you've upgraded to 24 or 24.1 it seems that the only way to go back to an older version is to use the built-in uninstall button in the Magisk app. Just trying to flash a new boot image over it doesn't seem to stick.
In my case, I had to:
Uninstall any version of the Magisk app
Install 24.1
Extract the boot image using Payload Dumper
Creating a 24.1 patched boot image to re-root my device
Uninstalling 24.1 using the uninstall button in the Magisk app
Install Canary Magisk (23 should work too)
Create a new 23 patched boot image and root using it
Still have not gotten around to fixing my MagiskHide and SafetyNet failing though, I think that requires some cache clearing and other steps to resolve. Also somehow managed to get rid of my TWRP accidentally along the way too, so I'll have to reinstall that again.
Thanks a lot!

I only see an "Install" button in the Magisk 24.1 app. I don't see an "Uninstall" button.
Were you already rooted when you saw the Uninstall button?

See steps 1-4. You have to temporarily root it by flashing a patched boot image (that was patched with 24.1) so that you can use the root privileges to uninstall Magisk. It's kinda ass-backwards I know...lol

Yep, that's weird. I was having (a ton of) trouble getting my phone rooted at the time, so that's why I didn't see it.
