OOS 5.1.0 Bootloop After Flashing Magisk

As the title says I am unable to boot after flashing Magisk (tried v16 and v15.3). It boots fine without magisk but of course no root and no custom recovery. Any help would be appreciated. Didn't have any problems on the previous stable build.

You need to first flash OOS 5.1 let it boot, then go to fastboot and flash twrp then go to twrp and flash magisk, only way to get root

hello, that's what I did and it worked well

this has happened here since 5.0.4

Try to use lastest blu-spark's TWRP, then flash 5.1 & Magisk without extra boot in the middle.

Things I noticed when upgrading:
A) The latest TWRP for dumpling appears to be broken. I get an error mounting /vendor when I use it. I switched to the previous version (20180309) and the error went away and everything seems to work.
B) You may very well have Xposed installed. If you do, there is an SDK bump between OOS 5.0.x and 5.1.x (26 -> 27). You'll need to disable this module either before you install the update (or assuming you already have) remove the module using something like Magisk Manager for Recovery to remove it (reboot to recovery, install module, run mm from terminal, follow prompts).

It's not broken. The vendor error message is because it was recently updated to work better with Project treble, which uses a hidden partition for the vendor. You can simply ignore the error and it will work fine. Or if you flash a treble ROM, the error will then go away.

I just got the phone. Format it in recovery.
Flash latest blu spark twrp (v.8.73).
Flash the Oos ob06.
Reboot to system. Set the phone, instal apps from Play.
Reboot to Fastboot.
Reflash recovery.
Reboot to recovery.
Flash Magisk 15.3. Reboot to system. OK.
Updated Magisk with Magisk.

Hi, Can anyone help me. in my oneplus 5T after installing new rom it is working smooth but i can't upgrade to new updates. in recovery mode the files seems to be decrypted and cant find any folders where i copied the updation . instead new files are found and can't access and find any of the folders of my own. this happened after i input the security lock. i wiped the entire data and installed new roms still it seems so. somebody please help me to find a solution for this

Installing Magisk results in bootloop

I'm not new to these things, but this time it seems I'm totally stuck.
What have I done till now?
- unlocked bootloader
- checked Anti-Version -> 4
- followed step 5 in this thread
What have I gained?
- I'm able to boot into TWRP and also to install several ZIPs. But every ZIP I install goes into bootloop. I have to flash the uninstaller-versions and then my phone works totally normal.
- I tried to install Magisk v16.0, v16.3 and v16.7, no success with each of them.
- I patched boot-image through Magisk itself -> also no success, still bootloop
What haven't I done yet?
- used lazyflasher to permanently flash TWRP as recovery
What are my phones creds?
- I'm on MIUI 9.6.3.0
If I'm right I can't flash any MIUI-version below 9.5.19.0 because of Anti 4. How will I be able to install Magisk and have a working phone? I found a thread where several links were included, one of them showing to some kind of ROM-kitchen, where I'd have the choice to create a custom ROM-zip with Magisk included (among other things like wallpapers, ringtones, which ROM-Version) but I can't find the link anymore. Would that be a possibility? Installing a MIUI beta 10?

just try using lazy flasher...

Ok, maybe I identified my problem: I have to booot into TWRP and flash the recovery within TWRP and afterwards I can install Magisk.
Can someone please confirm?

Question Bootloop after magisk on 12.5.3.0.RKHEUXM

Hello, this morning I found my poco f3 updated to Miui 12.5.3.0 (I was on 12.5.0.0) even though I had automatic updates disabled. After the automatic update I lost my root via magisk and twrp in recovery. No problem, I got twrp installed again, then I proceeded to install magisk v23.0 from TWRP, as I had done after 12.5.0.0. update.
Afterwars phone is stuck in a bootloop. I reflashed stock boot image, recovering the phone, but I ave been unable to install magisk in 12.5.3.0, I tried copying boot.img to the phone, then using magisk manager to patch the boot image, then flash the patched image trough fastboot, with the same result.
Anyone knows how to make magisk work in this new update?
Thank you

Try flashing the older patched boot.img on the new stock firmware.

On the 12.5.3.0 ill patched boot.img from 12.5.1.0 and all right.

Thanks for your replies. It seems the problem was a module I had installed being incompatible with the update (smali patcher). I tried removing the module from /data/odb/modules/ via twrp after installing magisk (also via twrp) and everything finally booted just fine!
But I hope this time disabling automatic updates works as intended

i have the same issue of auto updated and lost my root access.
Which boot.img I should Magish'd to get the root access again?
Currently installing my twrp
1. fastboot boot twrp.img
2. go to Advanced > Flash Current TWRP
3. after that is done, if you were using a custom kernel, reflash it now
4. if you were using magisk, reflash it now
if Flash Current TWRP fails, go to Backup > Refresh Sizes and try Flash Current TWRP again

Currently at the Resizing stage
Edit 1: failed, I have the error bootctrl error that prevent me from installing after resizing.
I have flashed the twrp3.5.2 directly to boot resulting in bootloop and needed to install the Boot.img from the 12.5.1 from the previous bulit
Edit: actually I can ignore that error.
Magisk installed but safety checked failed even I have the "universal safety check module installed "
Also the app thoax isn't working

I'd try removing all magisk modules, installing stock 12.5.3, then using magisk apk to create patched boot.img and flash it with fastboot (fastboot flash boot magisk_boot_patched.img)
Also, maybe try flashing bot boot_a and boot_b? I had a problem were my active boot partition changed and phone became even more broken.

There is a setting in the Xiaomi system updater that had by default checked auto-update. That setting need to be disabled/unchecked as well.
Since you have root with Magisk, can also Force stop or debloat the updater app, so the system will not update itself.

I had the same issue on Redmi Note 9 Pro (joyuse). Based on your tip I've removed some modules from `data/adb/modules` and my device is finally booting normally. Thanks!

OnePlus 7T India, 11.0.9.1, booting only to recovery / fastboot after incorrect Magisk update

I have OnePlus7T Indian version. I was on 11.0.9.1 and rooted with Magisk Canary version. There was an Update to Magisk which I accidentally installed with OTA option instead of full. Now my phone is not booting. It goes into original recovery mode or fastboot only. How can I recover from this? I tried to flash the magisk patched image file and it shows as flashed but when I reboot I again reach original recovery / fastboot menu only. Please help!!

Problem solved but don't know how. I was trying many things and when I used Tool All in One to flash TWRP the phone rebooted into the system. Not even sure if TWRP is installed or not but everything is working now and phone is rooted. Not sure how it got resolved. Magisk is updated to latest version.

Hi. I am again having same problem. I updated Magisk Manager and Magisk and some other apps and phone was not booting. After many tries it again booted but all the modules in Magisk were off. So I switched them on and rebooted the phone and now it is just not booting. I tried to use Tool All In One to flash a TWRP but now there is no recovery. The phone is either not booting (stuck on Circle dot rotating) or just going into fastboot, does not go into recovery. I was on OOS11. I tried flashing original recovery through the tool but it fails. Any way out of this mess??

Thanks. I managed to boot the phone but having root problems. After spending a number of hours doing various trials and checking Xda threads I managed to get it to boot again but root was lost.
I again read more articles and learnt that I have to flash recovery to both partitions so I used Tool All in one, changed active slots and flashed the magisk patched image from this thread i think on both slots. But i am not sure. I managed to get root but the Magisk manager was not getting installed.
I tried few other things and finally i am now not able to root again. Phone is booting after I flash a recovery but I am not sure if it will boot if restarted or go into loop.
Can anyone explain the proper procedure and sequence to follow for rooting and which files to use.
I am on OOS11.09.1

Hi. I already used these boot images but I was still having a problem. I had flashed the stock image to both partitions and then the Magisk patched image also but either I was not rooted or Magisk App not working. Finally got things to work by installing TWRP to partition a I believe. I changed active partition to a and then flashed the twrp recovery. Again changed active to b and booted and had root. I had to install Magisk Canary 25210 version only as other versions did not install. After checking on net it seems this version is faulty. So I installed Magisk Delta, then installed Magisk using Direct Install option, rebooted, checked regular Magisk Manager and showed the same Magisk version. Removed all modules from old Magisk Manager and unstalled the app. Setup Magisk Delta modules, hide, SuList as well as apps like LSPosed, HMA etc and now everything is working again.
I still am not very sure where the recovery is installed, on partition a or b? And if a difference recovery is installed on each partition what happens? I am pretty sure I had not installed TWRP on partition b. I am also assuming that once I set a partition as active and flash a recovery in fastboot that recovery is flashed to that partition, is this correct? Things are working but I don't know if the phone will go to recovery mode from system, I have not tried that. So I am not very clear yet but still got things to work.

Moto G7 play (XT1952-1) - please help with TWRP install ....

Hi, I got myself an used Motorola Moto G7 play (XT1952-1) with Android 10 Stock update (Build QPYS30.52-22-8-9) and just can't successfully install TWRP on it. What I did:
- Bootloader unlocked
- TWRP temporary loaded with fastboot (fastboot boot twrp.img)
- In TWRP 'Iinstall' selected the matching TWRP .zip and it said it was installed in both slots a and b.
But then, when I select 'restart to bootloader' and try to launch recovery, I get a bootloop (black screen with (N/A) in the top left corner. The OS as such still starts normally. So I guess the main problem here is the bootloop when trying to launch recovery...?
I tried installing over booted TWRP with unmodified boot.img and with Magisk patched boot.img, same result. The G7 play does not have a separate revovery partition, recovery is included in the boot.img
I used the TWRP files (EU) and instructions from here:
Motorola Moto G7 Play

twrp.me
My stock firmware is XT1952-1_CHANNEL_RETEU_10_QPYS30.52-22-8-9_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip from here:
lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.
lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai
mirrors.lolinet.com
Am I missing something? I've now searched for days (most info is outdated, taken from other places/Motorola phones with just 'G7 play' added, or is ambiguous); so can anyone *PLEASE* help me? Does anyone have a G7 play of the same type with Android 10 Stock who has successfully installed TWRP and was able to access the Recovery afterward without being stuck in a loop?
I also can't create a TWRP backup with a fastboot booted TWRP because system (and internal SD too) seems to be encrypted, and I don't seem to be able to deactivate this in the phone. Is this normal? Some places say that TWRP can decrypt when it's installed permanently...
Or could anybody patch the boot.img in above Firmware and add TWRP for me so I can just flash the boot.img?
Thanks in advance... please reply noob-friendly.

Still need a patched boot.img? Attached you'll find a boot.img with TWRP installed. I followed your links to get boot.img + twrp.img.
NO MAGISK INSTALLED!!!​Please patch before flashing if Magisk is already installed.
I put a log of the repack command into the zip that is showing the checksums of the boot header. Just to have a proof.

Thanks for trying to help, but this boot.img behaves exactly like the one I made by following the installation instructions on the TWRP website. I flashed it, restarted bootloader, then tried to go into recovery, and it bootloops (black screen with N/A in the top left corner).
But what I need is a boot.img with a WORKING TWRP recovery (that can actually be launched when recovery is selected...
Any idea why this won't work, why TWRP won't start?

@Alonso_Quixana Try the attached one. It's a boot.img patched with twrp + recovery_dtbo. The recovery_dtbo is part of the twrp.img but TWRP's installer.zip doesn't take it into account while repacking the patched boot.img. Maybe (hopefully!) that's the reason why you're able to boot TWRP but not to install it permanently.

Please try also - in any case! - the patched installer.zip that comes with a recovery_dtbo.

Sadly, you can't flash TWRP on stock ROM, in case you did sucessfully, ROM will not boot and that can cause SIM and VoLTE issues, i did flash it on mine and now VoLTE doesn't work on my phone, you can only boot it in case you want to flash an custom ROM, flash it then reboot into recovery to install GApps on the Custom Recovery that the ROM does install, but since all of the ROMs are arm64, i don't recommend it since you will have constant app restarting when changing from one app to another app

I've seen so-called tutorials on Youtube where someone actually succeeded in installing TWRP on his Moto G7 play (but did not mention which Android version was on the phone), and the TWRP developers too claim that their version for Moto G7 play would work, it even got an official update for Android 10 (alas they never reply to direct e-mails, those snooty guys)... some on XDA even said the flashing of a 'dirty port' worked for them. Were they all mistaken? Or did it work on Android 9? Are all XDA threads and internet posts / Youtube videos misleading / lying?
Are you REALLY sure that there is no way to install TWRP on a Moto G7 play (to be able to create a working backup of the encrypted data partition)? A 'full restorable backup of everything' is what I need...

It's a 32bit system on a 64bit CPU (Snapdragon 632). That's not unusual for Motorola devices. Open a terminal app and execute uname -a.

I think it only works on certain Moto G7 Play variations or even only on Android 9, also, another way to install TWRP is installing an Custom ROM then flashing an flashable zip of TWRP_11 by SyberHexen on Custom ROM's Recovery

In my case, flashing TWRP, even by following some tutorials made my MetroPCS Moto G7 Play to stop booting and also, VoLTE stopped working, fortunately, i had an EFS backup to restore my IMEI
Android 10 Stock Rom is an Arm (32 bits) ROM, every Custom ROM i tested are Arm64, but i don't recommend any of them since you will get constant app rebooting and notification problems since this is an 2 GB RAM device
