So I was on rooted 3.2.6 with xposed installed and decided to upgrade to 3.2.8.
I dirty flashed the full ROM 3.2.8 onto my 3.2.6 (without flashing SU or xposed because I wanted to use Snapchat with snapprefs again so I i flashed 3.2.8 without root , logged into Snapchat etc. )
after that I flashed superuser and xposed and since then my phone doesnt boot.
I interrupted the first try because it took over 20 minutes then tried it again after clearing cache and dalvik but it still doesnt boot ( i see the two circles and red dot)
Hope someone can help me
PS: I didnt make a backup because it would be too large, on the other hand I have the full 3.2.8 on my internal storage as well as the latest superSU
solved it
If someone experiences the same problem you need the newest xposed version v87. Flash it normally and wipe cache/dalvik , thats it !
I had that, I fixed it by boot to twrp flash the xposed uninstaller zip to remove xposed, then the phone should boot normally, I then found a newer version of xposed (the November security patch in 3.2.8 doesn't like older versions) and flashed it via twrp again, all my modules were still there and didn't need setting up again either.
Hope that helps

How to install Magisk & Xposed? I keep getting bootloops.. "no digest file found"
So I have a Pixel XL, stock, nougat 7.1.2 (Aug NHGE47Q).
I have tried the following steps:
Boot TWRP 3.1.1-1
Flash TWRP 3.1.1-1
Flash Elemental 7.1.2 kernel
Flash newest Magisk 14.5 beta (since 14.0 doesn't support pixel, right?)
Flash TWRP 3.1.1-1
What am I doing wrong?
I tried it a few times and no good. I did notice it says something about "no digest file found", which I assume is the problem.. ? I tried a combination of things like with and without wiping cache/dalvik. Or not flashing TWRP at the end. I search around and couldn't find updated instructions on this process. Help will be appreciated!
P.S. Also, if I update to Oreo, I can't get Xposed, right? (as in the systemless version via Magisk) because that's the only reason why I haven't updated yet.

I'm not sure about Oreo I think you can but you can't get certain modules or things like Xposed but double check that cuz I'm not sure
Secondly if you wanna flash 14.2 or 14.3 at the bottom of the magisk post where you download it will have the different versions to choose from any version after 14.0 supports the pixel
try flashing magisk by itself and see if that helps I know when I flash it with anything else it just doesn't show up and doesn't work but if you want when it bootloops flash the uninstaller and flash your boot image and that will fix the bootloop but do it again copy the log from twrp and put it on your computer and upload it here it will say exactly where it fails and what's wrong with it so we can help better

According to elementalx.org/devices/pixel/ the right elemental kernel is 1.15.
I've done this exact process too and ran into many issues, I would recommend as follows, I've had a lot of success with this. I got Magisk working under 14.2 , twrp 3.1.1-1 , and elemental 1.15. I could not get any of them working correctly with any other versions or in any other order - this worked for me.
reflash stock with flash_all and factory reset
fastboot boot twrp 3.1.1-1
check "never show" and swipe
adb sideload twrp-3.1.1-1.zip
adb sideload VerifiedBootSigner-v8.zip
reboot recovery
sideload again
adb sideload your new ROM here if you want that
adb sideload twrp-3.1.1-1 again, had to do this for PureNexus, cause recovery was overwritten
adb sideload VerifiedBootSigner-v8.zip again
reboot recovery
adb sideload ElementalX-P-1.15.zip
reboot recovery (might not be necessary)
adb sideload Magisk-v14.2(1420).zip - I got this from the Arise Aroma installer package in another thread
adb sideload VerifiedBootSigner-v8.zip again
reboot system, enable systemless hosts and magisk hide on google services framework and play store. magisk hide only works with a kernel that supports it so if your elemental is working you should be fine.
reboot again, then install busybox, I used stericsons from play store. I also installed the selinux switcher for permissive mode. I installed these to get Arise / Viper to work and I think they are required for xposed too.
Magisk modules should work from there, including the xposed installer, but xposed will cause safetynet to fail. I could not get magisk modules to work with 14.3, have not tested other versions, but 14.2 worked.
I did not let twrp install it's apk from recovery mode, or let magisk download it's update, I downloaded both APKs separately.
I remember having many issues with the order of install for magisk versus elemental. I'm pretty sure what worked for me is elemental, then magisk as I put here. but if you run into issues it might have to be magisk then elemental.

Thanks for the directions!
However, before I try this, I have one question... what is "VerifiedBootSigner-v8.zip"?
After searching, I see a bunch of information on the May security patch, but nothing talking about the August security patch (which is what I'm on). That being said, does it still apply?
You don't need Xposed, magisk has plenty of modules, but after rooting, flash the verified boot signer to allow for stock boot. It patches the boot image. Android 8 methods fixed this issue
Here is how you flash a kernel with the stupid 2 slots LOL...
Rom installed and ALREADY BOOTED INTO the OS That rom.
Reboot to TWRP 3.2.1-0
Flash Kernel and Flash TWRP 3.2.1-0.ZIP followed by rebooting recovery (i usually hit reboot system hold volume down until i get to bootloader and then choose recovery (reboot recovery doesnt always work))
Flash Magisk 15.0 or 15.1 on Oreo and i believe 14.3 and down will work better for Nougat.
Reboot buddy!!! All is good in the world.

WAAAAAAIIIIIT!!!! you need to be on Magisk 15.0 just failed multiple times and realized that was the last thing I Updated to 15.1..
Make sure you're flashing 15.0.
Can we get Xposed yet on Oreo with Magisk? I see it says there are 4 different options available in the module section of Magisk. One is labeled "Xposed framework". All the others are labeled "Xposed Framework SDK 25" down to 19. Which one should be used for Oreo?
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 all, I had just updated my phone to DP2 (clean install, full wipe using system image ppp2)
I've got TWRP installed as well. After flashing magisk 16.4 zip, the phone goes into a bootloop. Any thoughts or suggestions on how to solve this?

I had a similar issue. Certain magisk version seem to not play well with DP2. Try flashing Magisk beta 15.3.
I solved it by uninstalling my old magisk modules using uninmod (I believe). It couldn't boot because of some module I still had activated

That wasn't it, i had no modules. I fixed it though.
Here's my mistake:
I did a clean wipe as i had to unlock_critical. I was on the January patch. This removed everything, and i went ahead and flashed the ppp2 image for pixel 2 xl without flag thinking it wasn't necessary (mistake?)
I then went ahead to setup the phone, and transfer my titanium backup files into the phone (mistake i believe).
My issue arises.
I went back and reflash the ppp2 image with the -w flag again.
Booted into the phone, skipped every step possible in setup until i got to the lock screen.
Boot into bootloader, and loaded twrp.img
flashed twrp.zip, magisk16.4.zip in the temp twrp image
rebooted and it loaded. :laugh:
Hopefully this is helpful to others trying to do the same thing!
Hi,
After making a clean flash of the latest official global 8.7.26, I tried to flash magisk (it worked on my previous installation, 8.7.12), but I get a bootloop everytime.
Any ideas on how to fix that ?
Cheers
Edit: solved, see my solution 5 posts below.
i have 8.7.26 and magisk 16.7 everything ok

So you flashed the rom, and then flashed magisk zip, and it worked ?
I wonder why it's not working for me
Edit: tried flashing uninstaller twice, then flashing magisk again, no success. Tried with lazy flasher, nothing. Same with 16.0 and 16.7
installed the Room, Reboot,installed magisk
Rip me then. Any other things I could try ?
All right I solved it, here's what I did:
- Go to settings -> About phone -> System update -> menu (3 dots) -> Download update
- Your phone will download something. (I was on the latest version available already, so my guess is it re-downloads the update package for the current version )
- Install the update (it did it in TWRP). The phone should reboot automatically.
- Boot back into TWRP, you can now flash magisk and boot without problems.
You can try Magisk 16.4. It works for me, but Xposed is still not working. Any Idea?
Hey all, I have always updated each month using the simple methods posted here, just doing a fresh install of each factory image.
I have got the november update installed, TWRP installed. However, I cannot for the life of me get the magisk install to "take".
I have installed various versions, 16.7 17.1 and 17.3 in TWRP, have rebooted to system each time, and yet no magisk zip. Have even tried doing fresh install wiping system, magisk uninstall, etc. Anything you can think I am doing wrong?
I just checked and its nothing wrong with the TWRP method... I was just able to install sultan zip from it. Any other way I can get magisk manager/Magisk zips? I have always just flashed the zip from TWRP. please help, thanks

Very strange, but it just worked, after the 20th time of doing the same thing. Who knows why
Hey, my issue with Magisk is a bit different. I've upgraded my Pixel 2 XL every month and flashed Magisk afterwords. What I keep running into for the past couple of months is that after I'm all done, I will get a notification that there's an update to Magisk, but it's the same version I already have. I've tried different versions from 16.7 to the beta 17.3 and I would always seem to lose root after a while and be prompted to download the update to Magisk. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
I am having the same issue with magisk after updating to nov update. Did the flashall then booted twrp and flash magisk Not sure why

Run the Magisk uninstaller first
run 17.1 or the uninstaller. i've had better luck with 17.1
I guess the issue is linked to the Active Edge Module!
Download "uninmod_magisk", install it via TWRP, execute it via Terminal in TWRP, delete the Active Edge Module.
Now you can boot and reinstall that module.
