Magisk 17 causing bootloop - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

So as yous would know there is a new magisk version, i update the app and randomly lose root then when I try and flash the new version via TWRP it causes my phone to boot loop please help

Bootlooped here too. Get into TWRP, Flash the uninstaller and install v16.
Edit: Clean installing v17 works too.

I got bootlooped too

Steps to install v17 without getting bootlooped:
1. Uninstall magisk with latest uninstaller
2. Wipe Cache/Dalvik
3. Boot into ROM
4. Reboot to TWRP
5. Install Magisk 17
6. Boot Into ROM, no need to wipe anything.

Thanks, you saved my life!

I am running stock(debloaded) 7.0 a320FL and advise against updating magisk to 17.X at all. After doing so(and getting past all the bootlooping) unlock screen is unresponsive. Currently sitting at latest 16.X magisk and intend to stay there for foreseeable future

booting forever after rooting oxygenOS 3.2.8

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

Oreo update for rooted OnePlus 5t

Pls help me updating my 5t to oreo.i am currently on version 4.7.6 with twrp recovery nd super su root.
After updating to Oreo I again want to root my phone
Pls share links to download compatibile ROM, recovery nd super su.zip

But you already have the OREO OOS ROM installed, why not use it? Flash the Oreo recovery from codeworkx through fastboot, make sure to follow the instructions so it sticks and then flash Magisk or any root solution of your choice. It's not hard if you do some searching.

Check in ROMs' threads and come back what your interested ROM is.

What I did was flash the ota to update me to Oreo. Then had to reflash Magisk and kernel.

If you have already installed a custom recovery and rooted your phone then you should be able to follow these instructions.
I can personally confirm that I was able to install the beta versions of Oreo and the final version of Oreo without any issues.
Here's what I did:
1. Download full .zip
2. Download Blu_Spark TWRP or Codeworkx TWRP (I personally used Blu_Spark but both should work).
3. Download Magisk 15.3 (I havent used SuperSu in a while so I can't confirm how well it works on Oreo but in my opinion Magisk is a better root method and it works in this version of android).
4. Make sure you have both ROM and Magisk on a easy to find place on your phone.
5. Boot to fastboot and fastboot flash the recovery you just downloaded.
6. Boot to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache and then install the ROM.
7. Once the installation is done, boot to system and wait till the system to finish updating. Once there you can go to settings > phone status and it should read (android version = 8.0.0 and OxygenOS version = 5.0.2, congrats, you're on the latest OxygenOS version for this phone).
8. Reboot to fastboot, and fastboot flash the custom recovery again.
9. Boot to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache again, and flash Magisk, wipe dalvik and cache once more and reboot to system.
10. Once the phone is booted up, you should be rooted with Magisk and on the latest OS.
9. Boot to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache again, and flash Magisk, wipe dalvik and cache once more and reboot to system.

NOTE: Since this is a big version update from Nougat, it's always recommended to do a clean flash although not necessary in most cases unless there are issues like big battery drain or when apps or the OS are not working properly. Also, if you are coming from a custom ROM and not the official OxygenOS, then you should definitely do a clean installation (even if said custom ROM is based on OxygenOS).

What is clean flash?

Wiping data and system partition which means you're wiping the entire OS and installing the new version on a clean partition. Think of it as formatting a hard drive and installing an OS instead of just upgrading your existing OS.
You obviously lose all apps installed,and it would be like when you first turned on your phone, however as long as you don't wipe internal storage, all your photos,music,etc are not wiped so you can use apps like titanium backup to restore all apps and data .
This method is recommended when switching from different custom ROM's and when upgrading from major version updates, like for example, going to Android 8 from Andorid 7.

I used that same version of TWRP back during the Oreo beta and it didn't work so I had to switch to blu_spark.

So i took the jump and flashed blu spark and the 5.0.3 full rom.
Yes i lost the recovery to stock, but that's ok. Just want to get OTA in the future and I don't need root at the moment.
So this is what i did (coming from 4.7.6, official twrp, magisk 15.3)
Make sure you have all the necessary files (eg. blu spark img file and the full ota file on your phone
boot the fastboot and "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-x_blu_spark_v8.68-op5_op5t.img"
On the phone, choose and go to recovery
(now i'm on blu spark) Wipe Cache and Dalvik cache (i did this 2 times just to make sure)
Choose install and select the full ota rom file
Let it run and install the rom (took less than 5 mins)
Wipe Cache and Dalvik cache again (again, i wiped 2 times just to make sure)
Reboot
Make take a while (less than 10mins) for android to start and do the upgrade etc
Done
So far so good, i don't see any immediate problem. I will play a bit more and will post if I encounter any problem :good:

I have updated to 5.0.3 through system update app. where it downloaded full ota file and installed.Now I want to install twrp nd root my phone so pls confirm my steps
1 boot into fastboot mode and flash bluespark recovery
2 wipe delvik/cache from twrp recovery
3 flash magisk zip
4 again wipe delvik cache
5 reboot
are above steps correct?

OnePlus 5T Oreo OTA Updating

Hello,
I have recently purchased my OP5T transitioning from 3 years of iOS and this is one of the best choice I've made when using phones.
I have managed to root my phone on OS 4.7.6 with SuperSU and install TWRP recovery. However, with the new Oreo update out, I want to upgrade my OS and still have root. Reading many tutorials on the OP forums and comments in the XDA forums, I was very confused mainly regarding the TWRP and it's compatibility on Oreo as well as when to flash it (before or after flashing oreo ota??)
I already have the Oreo 5.0.1 file installed on my PC.
Sorry for another pointless thread, but I'm at a loss here.
Thanks.

There are different flavors of TWRP for the 1+5t and some versions of them were unable to decrypt and mount /data partition so that's maybe the issues you read about.
However, I can personally confirm that I was able to install the beta versions of Oreo and the final version of Oreo without any issues.
Here's what I did:
1. Download full .zip
2. Download Blu_Spark TWRP
3. Download Magisk 15.3
4. Make sure you have both ROM and Magisk on a easy to find place on your phone.
5. Boot to fastboot and fastboot flash the recovery you just downloaded.
6. Boot to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache and then install the ROM.
7. Once the installation is done, boot to system and wait till the system to finish updating. Once there you can go to settings > phone status and it should read (android version = 8.0.0 and OxygenOS version = 5.0.2).
8. Reboot to fastboot, and fastboot flash the custom recovery again.
9. Boot to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache again, and flash Magisk, wipe dalvik and cache once more and reboot to system.
10. Once the phone is booted up, you should be rooted with Magisk and on the latest OS.

Did I hear SuperSU is broken in the Official Oreo OTA? I haven't made the jump to Magisk and would rather stick with SuperSU for root.

Magsik is way better. 95% of people use it. It helps pass safety net which is requires for apps like pokemon go, bank apps, snapchat etc. So if u want to use those apps while rooted. Stick with magisk.
Yeah all the issues with twrp after at the beginning of this phones life. If u stick with oos and don't try custom roms u will have 0 issues.

I used SuperSu for 3-4 years and was too stubborn to try Magisk for quite a while....always saw guys talking about it this module and that module and didnt understand the hype. Then about 4 months ago I gave it a shot and in an instance totally understood the hype. I my opinion it is superior to SuperSu in everyway.

lmao same with me, i was so stubborn to try Magisk and always used SU, then i figured it out and I love magisk and would not go back to SU at this time.

I guess I just don't understand Magisk then... I just want to flash a zip and have access to root and Xposed.

I think most confusion from magisk come from modules
I thought magisk was a framework like closed by the way people were talking about it
Finally made the jump
Magisk is root on its own like supersu
But you have the added choice to install systemless modules
And you can add xposed the same way as supersu, its the same procedure

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.

I suggest you install the latest Orang fox recovery if you don't have it or if you don't have custom recovery. Ive had issues with magisk "sticking" bc of the installed recovery. Flash Magisk zip via recovery then reboot to system and make sure it's still there. Make a copy of magisk zip and rename it "uninstall.zip" Then reboot to recovery and flash uninstall.zip. Then reboot to system then again to recovery and reflash Magisk zip. You can also try installing magisk alpha

Most people will have minimum to no experience regarding your situation honestly since its rare to root without the safty of a custom recovery. I think you should ask in the main magisk XDA thread or consider a custom recovery. Its hard to pinpoint the reason in this situation
