Unable to install Magisk Zip on November update

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.

Damn Root......

No matter what I try I am unable to root my P2XL on Android 10......
The process I am taking is to boot up twrp and flash the latest Magisk zip, however it fails right at the end with the error failed to mound system and vendor.....
I have just tried to do it again but with a clean install of the October update but nothing has changed.......
the October update wasn't without issue either as that too failed and I had to factory reset the September image and update OTA.....
anyway, any thoughts or advice on how to achieve it or what might be wrong.......
is there specific TWRP versions I need to boot from etc,,,,

Don't bother with twrp
Just use magisk.
Download the factory pixel image on your PC , unzip the boot.img file and transfer to your phone.
Open magisk manager and install magisk by patching the boot.img file U just transferred.
Copy that new patched boot img back to your PC.
Use ADB to ADB reboot bootloader
Type: fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
That's it

Since it has been a few months since I messed with my 2 XL, I followed the upgrade 9x guide in my sig to make sure I didn't forget/skip anything.
I just jumped to 10 last night, root, twrp, and cust kernel.
fastboot latest factory image (I left the -w intact for a clean wipe since going form 9 to 10-but have read it is not necessary)
booted back into bootloader and fastboot boot twrp 3.3.3-0.img
once in twrp I install 3.3.3-0
in twrp installed latest EX kernel for 10
rebooted to system
let it boot up fully for a few minutes
booted into twrp
flashed magisk 19.4
rebooted to trwp (superstition for me)
rebooted to system
checked magisk hide in magisk manager
hit systemless hosts in magisk manager
rebooted
Fresh install of android 10, rooted, with cust kernel.
You mentioned the "failed" notice. I've read several places that TWRP will throw the "failed to mount" warning (or something like that) but that it is a false flag. I got this as well and just continued on.
There may be many diff ways to accomplish this, but THIS method worked for me.

I used a similar method:
I used Duece's Script to flash and format data with April image ( I wanted to able to decrypt with pattern lock); rebooted to system; then rebooted back into bootloader and used Duece's Script to flash but not format data with October image; booted back into bootloader and fastboot boot twrp 3.3.0-0.img; in twrp, flashed 3.3.0-0 zip, rebooted to system, and did initial phone set up; rebooted to twrp, flashed caesium kernel and magisk 19.3 and rebooted to system. Everything worked fine. I did get failed to mount" warning in twrp but both the kerkel and magisk worked fine.

Hi, by "checked magisk hide", do you mean that you were able to bypass google's safetynet?

My safety net passes in magisk, but I don't use any apps that I can verify that with.

I DL magisk hide module and use it for two apps, one for comcast business and the other which regulates my home thermostat.

Wow, thanks guys.....you have all laid out pretty well your processes which I will go through later on....
It's strange, as everything is installed and magisk believes it working it just doesn't pass thee root check..
I'll get back to you with my progress...??

Boot issues after removing magisk

Got the notice there was an OTA. As per instructions I tried uninstalling magisk and restore images. Got a toast notification saying no backups found.
Tried a complete removal of magisk, now stuck at the Bootloader unlocked screen.
Tried flashing the patched boot.img in fast boot and rebooting. Now I'm stuck on the boot animation.
Done with root on this phone, not worth the headaches. (TiBU was the only thing I use it for these days) Get me back to no magisk without loosing data.
[edit]
Ended up having to wipe litterly everything via recovery then it finally booted. :/

The patched image you're flashing won't work because you updated to 10.0.14. When updating, you're not supposed to uninstall Magisk, just disable the modules you have downloaded in the "Modules" section.
You need the updated root boot.img. I'll try to upload it later.

Thanks. At that point I hadn't installed the OTA update yet. I had just prepped by going into Magisk manager and (mistakenly) hit completely remove magisk. Which it did, then rebooted but left me hanging at the unlocked bootloader warning.
I tried flashing the patched boot.img from fastboot, and reflashing magisk from inside of the temporary twrp, but after a reboot I was left with the boot animation that never went away.
After I wiped it and got back in, I let it download the latest OTA and installed it.
So currently I'm at 10.0.14 now, but without root.

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.

Might wanna also uncheck Automatic system updates in the Developer settings to be safe.

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.
