After magisk v21 losing root - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Anyone faced this problem?

Yes, the same by update through magisk app.
Lost root and causing reboots.
Didn't try yet by flashing twrp.
Just reflash magisk 20 by twrp and close avb.
Edit: found this:
The latest version of Magisk is designed to work with all devices running Android 11. However, according to replies on topjohnwu’s Magisk v21 announcement tweet, some users are facing issues with the latest build. Magisk v21 also doesn’t seem to work with several MediaTek-powered devices at the moment.

magisk not working on all OOS OREO ROMS

Hello xda community.
I got some knowledge about flashing stuff on my oneplus 3. But Since I use Android oreo beta 29, 30, or stable 5.0 OOS version even when I use the aroma installer from Freedom OS. Magisk doesn't install propobly. .
Im using latest Twrp from Bluespark 3.2.1 -X
I can flash most off the magisk versions 15.0 - 15.1 - 14.6 without bootloops. I tried alot off them but when I boot the phone magisk is not installed.(there is no Magisk app)
When I install the magisk apk. the magisk is also telling me magisk is not installed.
On beta 29 SuperSU was working didn't try it yet on beta 30 but I really want to use Magisk.
I'm reading the forums here also on the OP community but seems like I'm the only one with this problem.
uninstall magisk app from the rom, flash rom again and then flash magisk 15.3... works fine

maybe the only way to make sure is to wipe everything , did you try with custom kernel?
try to flash rom reboot to recovery, then derp kernel (tested and works on latest beta) , then flash magisk... that worked for me at 1st try.
Flash magisk 14.0 and boot see magical working and then update magisk15.3 via magisk manager application.
Use OOS debloater from the themes and apps section to remove some apps from the system. Then reinstall magisk. Problem solved. We have a lot less space left in the system partition and that's the reason magisk is silently failing to install.
Facing same issue

Flashing SuperSU doesn't root my device

Hello everyone,
I have the Xiaomi Redmi 5A.
Currently I am running Official Pixel Experience ROM (8.1.0, oreo) https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-5a/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3801702 on it. It so happens that when I try to flash SuperSU latest zip, the flashing goes fine but the device doesn't get rooted on checking in a root checker app and also no SuperSU app comes in the app drawer after flashing. I am not sure why this happens. But flashing magisk roots the device. Why not SuperSU?
In the Pixel Experience ROM thread they told to use vendor TWRP and not the Official TWRP but even on vendor TWRP I don't get root access after flashing SuperSU...
Previously I was using Unofficial Lineage OS (14.1, nougat) https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi.../unofficial-lineage-os-14-1-redmi-5a-t3773985 on my device. In Lineage OS when I flash SuperSU I get root access and also the SuperSU app comes in the app drawer. Why not in Pixel Experience?
Is the kernel responsible for this?
Is it something related to "mount"?
I come across this "mount" word in TWRP but I'm not sure what does this mean...
In TWRP while flashing SuperSU I saw "ramdisk restore failed, aborting". What does that mean?
Also is it related to SuperSU being a system-less root software and magisk being a system-based one?
Please help me... It's driving me nuts!:crying:
P.S. I know magisk is better but I want SuperSU, so don't suggest me to use magisk and forget SuperSU.:laugh:
Thanks.

Hello,
I don't know exactly what you are encountering but SuperSU should work on this ROM and run fine. I ran this ROM before and SuperSU works fine. I now switched to Magisk because I need ViPER4Android to work on Oreo.
Unless you are running a Treble based ROM, that is a different story. If you are running a Treble based ROM, please refer to this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76937637&postcount=24 thread to get root working.
CONTINUE TO READ IF YOU ARE NOT RUNNING A TREBLE BASED ROM,
I need to get some things straight. Android with version 6.0 (Marshmallow) and above (should) and (only) run systemless mode (including SuperSU). I came across a thread and read that root with Marshmallow and above would not work without patching bootloader and make system unmodified.
SuperSU and Magisk are almost the same. Magisk just offers extra module repository and SuperSU just offers root. SuperSU works both in system mode and systemless mode but Magisk only works in systemless mode.
This might help you:
- Do a clean flash (Wipe System, Data and Cache)
- Try using this latest version of SuperSU: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133 (SuperSU v2.82 SR5 released by Chainfire himself)
- If it doesn't work then something might be wrong with the boot partition.
- If you really need root and SuperSU REALLY DOESN'T WORK, (spoiler) try Magisk...

Rooting problems OOS 9.0.4

Hi, I have a 5T, I'm on OOS 9.0.1, I'm using Magisk 18.1, updated from Magisk 18.0.
I tried to install from OTA, OOS 9.0.4, then I tried to reinstall blu spark twrp 3.2.3 and I tried to install Magisk 18.1, when I boot OOS, the phone is instantly showing "shutdown", and it boots to recovery, twrp.
Then i dirty flashed OOS 9.0.1 and Magisk 18.0, it worked and I'm now using it with 9.0.1.
I tried many times to install Magisk 18.1 or 18.0 on OOS 9.0.4, but I have the same problem. How can I solve this problem? Is the treble.zip file?
Will a clean flash solve the problem? Please help me, I love OOS, i tried also other ROMs about 4-5 months ago, but I didn't like it.
Dirty flashing 9.0.1, phone app is not working, when I click on it, it opens and closes in about a second. How can i solve?
I also have problems on Waze app, I read on Internet a lot of people have this problem, is it solved on new OOS? How can I solve with root? Can I install a GPS mod?
Thank you.
You need to unload the original module, then double clear! I have also encountered this problem because I installed a fingerprint module and it was updated after uninstalling.:highfive:
Thank you, I've just solved uninstalling magisk before update, so wipe dalvik/cache -> magisk uninstaller -> flash oos 9.0.4 -> flash magisk 18.1 -> wipe dalvik/cache -> reboot system

Magisk wont uninstall

Hello friends Im new year can you help me? My magisk wont update to 22.1 so I think I need to reinstall it and flash the latest realme ui from software update at the same time
I have been trying to uninstall magisk even if I click restore IMG it shows stock boot img doesnt exist or clicking complete uninstall will do nothing no error message or anything.
What I tried so far is
-Uninstall.zip from twrp
-Uninstall.zip from magisk module using the build v21 v22 v22.1 but it was still there.
As of now I do not have access for computer so can I also ask.
Will I be able to flash the latest android 10 from Color OS A.19 using twrp?
I know that you cannot install ota without stock recovery but I saw sometimes on some thread that they are flashing latest builds using twrp so Im a little confused now.
My phone is RMX1993 Pie Color OS A.19

Suggested Magisk Version ?

I own a firetv stick 2nd gen (tank). I have unlocked the device and installed the Prerooted rom which requires you to install magisk after you install the rom
I just cant figure out which magisk version to use. I have tested 25.2, 25.1, 24.3 but in all these versions the manager just crashing once i press any button on my remote (It doesnt open, it only shows the logo)
I tested 20.03 which luckily works and i had not got time to test any other versions, but i thought i'd ask here if anyone know why this is happening or what magisk version is suggested

It sounds like a signature mismatch. You can't mix and match official and unofficial Magisk versions.
If you try to install the official Magisk Manager, with a custom Magisk build, you will see what you are experiencing. Magisk Manager will close and the icon will revert to just Magisk text.
With Magisk 22+ the zip and manager are the same file. Whatever zip you used to patch your device, rename it to magisk.apk and install it as an app in FireOS.
I think a custom Magisk build is used with a couple of the FireSticks to protect the rooting method.

hey! For all the versions i installed (which is from the original magisk repo itself), i used the same apk to install both the manager and Magisk itself, so i dont think its signature
mismatch.
I was not aware of any custom magisk builds for firetv until i read your reply. I found this but this has the same issue as normal magisk, the issue being the Manager not working.
Also i just tested Magisk v22 and it works !!
Im thinking ill just stay on this version and i think ill be fine for now ?
