Fix Bootloop after Magisk Install - Honor 7X Questions & Answers

I followed a guide to unlock and root my Huawei Mate SE, BND-L34C567b130, EMUI version 5.1, Android version 7.0. I installed Magisk in TWRP and then No Verity in TWRP. I'm guessin that no verity is what is causing the bootloop because apparently you don't need it anymore? If not I don't know why it is boot looping but reinstalling Magisk via Twrp is not working. What can I do? I can get into Fastboot and I cant get into TWRP, my boot loader is unlocked and I do have my unlock code. Or maybe thats not what is the cause but what ever the case I need to fix this bootloop.

Have you tried installing Magisk again after installing no verify to repackage boot?

Yes I tried installing magisk after and before no verify and both cause the bootloop.

I would try a factory reset since no verify would have wiped data anyways.

I was going to say TWRP reset. There are instructions somewhere on this page (posed recently from what I remember) for getting back to factory recovery (where you should be able to factory reset), but I have never done it.

OK sorry it's been a while since I've checked xda to save people. I have the Huawei Mate SE the equivalent of the Honor 7x but with more storage. You installed everything correctly and did nothing wrong. The a few of the latest versions of Magisk bootloop our device. Use the Magisk 18 and you should be fine.

Does TWRP work on android 7.0?

If I upgrade to 7.0 on my nexus 5x, will i be able to install twrp as i normally would through fastboot?
You need to decrypt the phone for it to work.
Hmm anyone got the 7.0 recovery? I installed it thinking it would work but I want to keep the system encrypted. Does the stock 7.0 recovery mount system? I want to mod my build.prop dpi.

I just tried 3.0.2-1, and it worked. Before that, 3.0.2-0 also got stuck at the splash screen. However, I wasn't able to root. I tried installing SU via TWRP, but it didn't successfully root.

Am I the only one who encounters the flasing of recovery not sticking? After system reboot, then going back to recovery, it reverts to stock.

If you decrypt it first by flashing the modified boot.img, and then flash recovery and reboot it should stick and work right? Can you kindly describe your steps?

-1 installs, but two issues if you're encrypted:
1) TWRP doesn't stick. After a restart, you won't be able to get back into TWRP and need to reflash it.
2) Installing SU via TWRP doesn't work. It runs into an error if you read the responses during the flash in TWRP.
We'll just have to be patient until the devs do their magic on the encrypted version.

If you root using phh's superuser and magisk, TWRP will stick. His solution also allows you to use Android Pay with root, albeit with a little hoop-jumping

I had the twrp not sticking issue in the past. What has worked is to boot twrp, not flash it, then flash SU. Then boot back into the bootloader and flash twrp.

SuperSU won't install through TWRP

Hello everyone,
I'm facing a very odd issue. I recently installed 7.1.2 from factory image and decided to also install TWRP in order to install a few modifications.
I was able to install the new kernel that allows Android pay to work with unlocked bootloader just fine.
However, I can't install SuperSU for some reason. I'm installing the zip file from TWRP just fine, however when I go searching for the app it's not there, and even if I install it from Google play it's telling me the system is not rooted.
I tried even downgrading a version of TWRP and SuperSU and still no go.
Anyone have any idea what is going on?
Thanks!

Hello,
I'd try reflashing stock boot.img from your 7.1.2 factory image.
The fastboot boot TWRP.img and install TWRP zip.
Install SuperSU: https://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
Reboot to system. From here you should have superSU​ installed.
Reboot to TWRP and install custom kernel zip.
Hopefully it will work...
Good luck...
I will try that, in that order, but before i do, can someone give me a brief explanation on what slot A and slot B are and what they do? I have a feeling it may have something to do with this. I looked for answers on the forums and I wasn't able to find a clear answer.

I also see you posting in another thread. I'm going to answer your question here, so all Infos remain in the same place...
wireaudio said:
I basically installed the factory image without the -w flag, turn booted in TWRP (without flashing TWRP) and installed kernel, then flashed super SU then rebooted. Didn't work so I rebooted in TWRP and flashed TWRP and then flashed SuperSU. Note that I had SuperSU installed in 7.1.1 so I assumed it would overwrite. It didn't work so I uninstalled old SuperSU and re-flashed SuperSU 2.79. it still didn't work so I downgraded SuperSU and TWRP one release and reinstalled. Still no go. And that's where I'm at.

Better question is, how do we select what slot stuff gets installed in? It doesn't seem to be clear, more like a game of chance!

Your explanation in the other post and this one are different. Just try in the order from my previous post...
For your information, you can choose the active slot. It's not "like a game of chance". Just use the proper command:
fastboot --set-active=a
Or
fastboot --set-active=b
Good luck...

December update breaks magisk?

Hi all,
I've updated my 3xl to the december update like usual, flash-all.bat without -w. Afterwards, it boots fine, and in settings it clearly states that I'm running the December security patch.
However, when I boot into twrp (not installed) and flash magisk, android boots to just before asking my SIM PIN, says "Shutting Down", then reboots and gives me the message "Can't load Android System. Your data may be corrupt." etc. inside stock recovery.
Did the December update somehow break magisk? Anyone gotten it to work? I'd rather not do a factory reset if it's not needed.
Works fine for me.
Try re-flashing the December update with the - w deleted see if it boots up. Then try flashing magdisk manually on bkth a and b partitions
Working fine for me as well.
I would try flashing the stock boot and system images to both slots. It probably won't work but worth a try before doing a factory reset.

You have a corrupt backup copy of boot.img, Magisk grabbed that and used it for root.
Flash the stock boot.img to both slots and reroot.

First off, thanks for trying to help!
Flashing the stock boot.img "solves" the problem, I can boot and use the phone like normal, but without root obviously. Using the stock boot.img inside magisk manager to patch it with 17.3 and flashing that boot image to both partitions gives me this error again. I've also tried re-applying the December update at least 3 more times, with the same result. Any other ideas?

Flash the stock boot.img to both slots.
Reboot and check it.
Copy the Magisk zip to your phone.
Fastboot boot the TWRP img file, don't install it.
Use TWRP to install the Magisk zip, and you are done.

Do you have the previous version of Edge Sense Plus module installed? That sounds exactly like what happens if you install Magisk with that module still there. He put out a new one today.

Instead of going back an Android version, I used this script, uninstalled all modules and re-flashed Magisk. It works perfectly now. Thanks again!

Good deal. That is why I always keep a copy of the Magisk uninstaller on the phone itself. As long as I can get to BL/temp TWRP .img, the worst I am out is the time it takes me to reconfigure Magisk.

Help With Twrp+Root

Hey guys n gals
Smashed my s8+ the other day accidentally so picked up a z2 play for something completely different for me, but I am having issues with recovery and then root..
I've unlocked the bootloader that was simple, my problem first starts with doing Twrp, I flash it, boot up, then instantly prompted with the password for decryption. From what I read on the post for installing Twrp that should come after? My data partition vanishes and I think I changed it to ext4 so it worked, phone booted and all was well, so I went to do magisk 16 (I'm running stock 8.0) flash it all is well then when I boot up the phone just boots, shows the unlocked bootloader message, then keeps doing that and sometimes it boots to recovery randomly..
Not sure if I've missed something when doing thel processes but followed the instructions to the letter and I always end up having to reinstall stock and start fresh. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Saome time the Magisk make you a bootloop. try to uninstall it.

This worked great, thanks. Only issue I met was that I couldn't see the OEM unlock switch, so it didn't let me to flash TWRP from Odin (even though it was already unlocked), giving me "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(recovery)" error.
The solution for that was following these steps: https://www.xda-developers.com/fix-...y-s9-samsung-galaxy-s8-samsung-galaxy-note-8/
EDIT: no wait, maybe it's bootlooping.
EDIT2: yes it is. I'm using italian carrier, you?
EDIT3: at the end I created a custom boot.img by using Magisk and I flashed it. In this way I kept encryption and stock recovery, but this doesn't give me write permissions in /system. But I do have root.

after you flashed twrp and formated data you just have to flash magisk and that's it

I done that, but still stuck on SAMSUNG logo, no boot loop or what. I was waiting 10min, nothing happened.
Any advice?
Hi there,
after having tried different methods to root my S9, which has updated to Android 10 One UI 2.0 this morning, maybe the solution that finally worked for me will help you too.
First I tried to root just like in Pie, as found on the net: flashed TWRP 3.2.3 via Odin, then flashed Magisk with TWRP plus this no-verity-opt-encrypt. Got stuck in bootloop, tried different no-verity/dm-verity versions, Magisk 18.x and Magisk 20.1. Nothing worked, got stuck again every time i rebootet the system again.
Then, after realising that I CANT get back to Android 9 (old rom wasnt Odin flashable anymore, phone didnt boot, BSoD), I first downloaded the new stock rom and bootloader as zip, got it from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81615561&postcount=1830.
You have to check if that fits with your version / phone. Once downloaded, I copied both onto my SD card. So now I was able to install at least the new clean stock rom. Oh, and now I used the TWRP version 3.3.1.
Then I found this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/development/root-s9plus-exynos-android10-t4065343
At first I tried to root without the SoLdieR9312's mod, only with MAGISK 20.3 and no-verity. Stuck again, it only bootet to download mode, nothing else. So flashed again the clean stock rom, and after first not keeping the right order (I suppose) I finally followed EXACTLY the instructions 1 - 4 in above manual including SoLdieR9312's mod (I highly recommend first a complete Wipe, format data, and then flash the clean new Rom with Android 10 and bootloader from above link).
Now, to save you the time I spent today: once your phone is bootet (and succesfully rooted via Magisk 20.3, which will happen automatically due to the SoLdieR9312's mod), DONT LET MAGISK UPDATE TO VERSION 20.4!!!! Magisk Manager asks you to update, but when I did update to 20.4, everything fell apart again, it only bootet to download mode.
Now I seem to have it stable and running with 20.3 and the [email protected]. I rebootet 5 times so far just for the sake of it, and it works fine and rootet.
If I can be of further help, please let me know. I spent the last 12 hours on this matter, so dont hesitate.
Greetz from me minus a bunch of nerves
PS: After I wrote the above, I deleted the Knox family in the rootet system, and then it collapsed again and, after BSoD, it only rebootet into download mode. I can not exclude the possibility, that this might have been the reason for some system breakdowns before, as I had to re-do the wipe-clean-install-then-root-then-customize worksteps aroung 8 times yesterday before it was stable as it is now. Now I´ll leave Knox on it, though that itches me a bit. But I´m exhausted for now
PPS: IMPORTANT when I try to create a PIN or a pattern for the lock screen, phone reboots to SIM card PIN screen and then keeps rebooting and rebooting. It looks like there are some interferences with root and PIN / security. I did NOT create a Samsung account, only a google one, cause in the beginning i suspected it might have been a Sam acct problem (I constantly couldnt log into it on the phone). Turns out that might not have been the case, rather a prob between root and setting a lock screen security.
