I bought a LG V35 recently. When I got the phone, I found its rooted already and looks like bootloader is unlocked since the 1st screen shows the warning unlocked messages. See attachments.
After I got into the system, I could see magisk and used root permission without any problem.
I wanted to do a system backup in the customer recovery like twrp or CWM. (I thought it should be there, since phone is rooted) But after I clicked "reboot to recovery" with TaiBackup APP, I could not get into recovery and screen shows "erasing data" and then rebooted. When system was started up again, phone was done a factory reset and magisk did not work any more...(I checked, I still can see the unlocked bootloader messages at that time)
Then I had to send my phone to the seller and got rooted again. I really do not understand how the seller rooted this phone!!
Now I am wondering if I can flash any custom recovery like twrp? I do not see LG V35 in official twrp's support device list. Dare I try the twrp for LG G7 or LG V30 or others?
If I have to try twrp for LG G7, is there anybody knows how to do a recovery backup via ADB beforehand? Anything I can do to minimize the risk?
He probably dumped the boot image with LGUP, and manually patched it with Magisk on another device

Yes, I searched with google about patching magisk boot img and now I agree with you.
Now, when I trying to install some modules in magisk, I will get "installation failed". See the attachment.
I googled and tried to find the solution. It is said that I could update/re-install the magisk manager apk to solve the problem. But the seller told me DO NOT touch the magisk and even update it.
Do you know if I can update the magisk manager when rooted in the patching boot img way?
Do you know if I can install xposed in the magisk in this case?
Are there some DONTs when rooted in the patching boot img way?
Thanks for your reply.
Mate just start first with a backup via LGUP than check if you can reboot to bootloader. Then read a bit G7 thread and if you are confident in your knowledge and skills continue - it is an easy job to firstly backup your both boot mages, patch them and flash them back to your phone if you have fastboot.

Is there somebody can tell me how to solve the issue that i can not install any module in magisk?
Can i update the magisk framework to 18.1 when the root method is coming from the patching boot image?
Since you have full fastboot, grab a copy of TWRP for the G7 and try booting it. I verified today that laf from the G7 boots just fine on the V35, so TWRP should work until (yes I am being optimistic here) I can get the V35 rooted and build our own TWRP.
In case you are new, the command will be:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Where twrp.img is whatever the filename of TWRP is. If the touch screen works, and the rest of the functionality is there, you can use that for now. However, you will have to have a PC and fastboot boot it every time you want to get into TWRP.
On SD845 and later devices (which the G7 and V35 have), recovery is no longer a separate partition -- it is included in boot. So, you do NOT want to flash the G7 version because while the G7 kernel may work fine for laf, and TWRP, it probably wouldn't be ideal to use as a system kernel.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I do have a question for you. Where did you get your phone from? I have a hard time believing that there are so many V35s out there with engineering bootloaders -- so I would like to get my hands on one and figure out how they unlocked the bootloader.

Thanks for your answers.
I bought this phone from taobao which is a bigest famous online shopping site in China. I do not know how they unlocked the bootloader and tell me if something I can help with.
I unlocked LG G2/G4/oneplus 5T myself so I know the basic knowledges about how to execute ADB command and the normal root process. But I do not know the one using patched magisk boot img way.
As far as I understand, you meant that we can temporarily boot into the G7 twrp to use its functions but we cannot actually flash the twrp to the phone. Booting to G7 twrp image, is it safe? (The "safe" I mean is that, if I encounter problems, at least I still can startup the phone with rooted. Otherwise, I need to send my phone to the seller who is 2000KM away to root it again...Last time I booted into its recovery, all my data was erased...) Anyway, I will try it as you suggested, but I will put it the 2nd priority.
The 1st priority is that, I truely want to solve the problem I met about installing magisk module failed. See my attachment. I want to know if I can fix the problem by updating the magisk framework. I need the "safe" way as I just said.
So if I click "yes" in the 33.jpg I attached, do you know which would happen?
A. brick the phone
B. restart and get a factory reset, then I cannot use root any more
C. nothing changed, still install module failed but root can work
D. Solve the problem and can install module successfully
If you press "Yes" it will just download Magisk setup which will fail doing anything it will reboot to the stock recovery which will perform security check and wipeout magisk from boot image.
To solve your problem and install the module properly you need to patch externally your boot image and and flash it back in fastboot mode overwriting both a and b slots.
So:
1. Dump boot via LGUP download mode.
2. Patch it via Magisk Manager.
3. Flash it back under fastboot mode.
4. Install your module and enjoy...
P.S.: If you are not confident on how to perform any of the listed steps above please do not start it at all because definitely you will need to travel 200 km again for restoring root...

Thanks for explaining. That is what I worry about. Some questions for you:
1. I have used LGUP to dump boot_a and boot_b. (Very slow, took 1 hour. I renamed them to boot_a_org.img and boot_b_org.img, they are no difference with cksum). So this is currently boot images patched by seller? So, no matter what problems I encounter, I can flash boot_a_org.img(boot_b_org.img) back to boot_a and boot_b to recover my phone anytime and still get rooted? If so, I can feel free to do anything no worrying about the 2000KM delivery...
2. You mentioned "Patch it via Magisk Manager". I can directly patch boot_a_org.img to do it? I think boot_a_org.img is already patched by seller. (I do not have the original unpatched and unlocked bootloader img for V35...)
3. "Patch it via Magisk Manager". can only be done in my V35 phone, or it is OK to do it in other phones?
4. Can I try to boot into G7 twrp then I can flash the newest magisk via twrp? In this way I can fix my problem?
Thank you very much in advance.
1. Download LGUP from HERE
(make sure you put it in the right place afterwards: C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP)
2. Shut down your phone and then press VOL+ button and connect it via USB cable to your computer (The phone will boot in download mode).
3. Start LGUP.exe and select DUMP mode. DUMP only those partitions (place checkbox):
abl_a
abl_b
boot_a
boot_b
xbl_a
xbl_b
This will finish our backup preparation, so report back once done.
(Also just come to a better idea - compress and upload somewhere your boot_a file I'll try to patch it with latest Magisk and upload it back to you)

Laf has new security that prevents reading for now. LG UP 1.14 and 1.15 can't read .. and I can't find a copy of 1.16.

@runningnak3d maybe you are mixing V40 with V35. Using this DUMP only version of LGUP bootloader unlocked phones are able to dump all (even non kdz partitions) so he will be able to perform this operation.

This only works for v35 phones with unlocked bootloader?
Yes, I have already dumped those part:
abl_a
abl_b
boot_a ============> I rename this one to boot.img
boot_b
xbl_a
xbl_b
Could you teach me what is each one used for?
So boot.img is currently boot image patched by seller? So, no matter what problems I encounter, I can flash boot.img back to boot_a and boot_b to recover my phone anytime and still get rooted? If so, I can feel free to do anything no worrying about the 2000KM delivery...

The files I dumped from LGUP are bin file or img file?
I try to patch the boot.img file but everytime I get error. See attachment.
@alex.coffen Yes if you backup your boot image and do not boot into RECOVERY everything will be safe.
It appears your DUMP was not done properly. Please if possible open your boot.img with HEX editor and take a look at it - if there are only 0-es there than it appears something is wrong with your dump.

Yes, all 0-es. What should I do? I have already re-installed the USB dirver 4.2.0. See attachment.
Since I failed to use LGUP dump boot img, I think about another way.
I installed termintor on my phone. Under directory /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name, I execute "ls -l" then I can find all partitions, for one example:
boot_a -> /dev/block/sde11
In this case, do you know if I can use "dd if=/dev/block/sde11 of=/storage/emulated/0/Download/boot_a.img" to get the boot img?

I installed a Magisk Module, called Notch killer or something to that effect from magisk downloads. Reboot caused my phone to not boot, but be stuck on the boot animation forever.
Is there a way to uninstall the module alone or recover the system without losing data. I am more concerned about the storage card data and would like to keep that for sure. Any insights / help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the pointer. I did go through all the threads and did find similar issue already addressed. For anyone that's keen, I ended up installing the stock boot.img and that ensured that I could boot. Out of curiosity, I tried to flash the patched boot.img and that ended up in the same loop again. Will search further as to how to remove that module first and then flash the patched boot.img, that should work somehow, not sure yet.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/help/magisk-modules-causing-bootloop-t3981427
OK, finally got everything back to running the way it was. After getting the stock boot image, to root it again, I followed the following steps.
1. Download the full OTA image
2. Install Payload Dumper
3. Extract recovery.img using the Payload Dumper from the full image (Payload.bin)
4. Extract the recovery.img using Android Image Kitchen.
5. Modify the default.prop to enable adb in ramdisk folder
6. Repackaged the recovery.img
7. Flashed the modified recovery.img to recovery partition.
8. Booted to recovery.
9. On the PC, went into adb shell, navigated to /data/adb/modules and identified the rogue magisk module and deleted that folder completely.
10. Booted back to bootloader
11. Flashed the stock recovery back to the recovery partition.
12. Rebooted to recovery, just to verify that everything was intact.
13. Rebooted to bootloader
14. Installed the patched boot.img for root
15. Reboot the system
That made it work as it was before without any issues. Thanks a ton to the great community that had already solved these issues. Here are the links to the forum posts and tools used.

Since you are rooted, you probably found out the OTA update won’t install.
after 3 % it crashes, and no update is installed.
So this is what I did to get the latest update:
step 1: remove root access;
- reboot and hold volume down to get into fastboot mode
- connect to pc, and load original boot.img , I checked if that was the proper one by using “fastboot boot
boot.img” ( I checked if magisk was no longer installed, this was merely to find out if I used the proper boot.img, I knew
chances the update would install were slim, I tried… but no luck as expected…. )
- I connected to LMSA, to make a backup, and download the new rom.
- I went to fastboot mode again and flashed the boot by using the command “fastboot flash boot boot.img ( the “old/current” one, not the one from the downloaded new image”
“fastboot reboot”
Step 2:
so the phone booted, and I ran the update again. This time I had no issues installing it.
Step 3:
i extracted the new Boot.img from the rom downloaded by LMSA
I re patched the new boot.img with magisk, rebooted again, and and the update was complete.
this was done on the eu g8 power , for update qpe30.79.124 , but i guess this will work on all versions since the process is the same ...
for people reading this, and don’t have root / want root, just read this thread:
Confirming success with this. I downloaded the whole ZIP, extracted boot.img and used Magisk App's built-in feature to mod the boot img. Afterward, I reflashed boot partition via fastboot. Thanks, all!
Success on Sophia RETUS 80-51-5. Flashed 80-51-3 stock boot with fastboot, took update, extracted BOOT from 80-51-5, modified with Magisk and flashed the mod with fastboot. Back up and running.
I have twrp installed. Will this work?
No, I don't believe so.

As far as I know you will also have to flash the stock recovery before updating... not sure if the recovery has to match the stock rom build, like the boot.img does. You could also flash the entire latest stock rom using LMSA to update.

I'm guessing that a fail is expected since original boot.img is no longer installed (ie, rather the patched version is installed). Hopefully someone can elaborate
Also in the case of the Magisk systemless root method, will OTA announcements occur even though they can't be installed without first unrooting?
I wonder if there is not a few steps that could be cut off and streamlined this method, for example why isnt uninstalling magisk enough, since magisk restores the boot.img, also it backs up the original boot.img so instead of going through the whole LMSA thing it can be just copied to storage and flashed in fastboot, right?

I just did that with a sofia retus phone on Android 11 for the new security update.
RPM31.Q1-54-13 to RPMS31.Q1-54-13-2.
1. Uninstall all Magisk modules and reboot
2. Uninstall Magisk and hit restore image
3. Uninstall Magisk completely and phone reboots
4. Accept OTA update (nervously)
5. Patch boot image with Magisk
6. Flash patched image with minimal adb and fastboot
7. Success!
this process does replace vanced youtube with factory youtube and youtube music, but it's easy to just replace them again in vanced manager.
I found the steps to install magisk when using a custom recovery a bit confusing (I extracted boot.img from the stock image and then bootlooped my device after I flashed the patched boot.img...), so I thought I'd write this after having recently done it myself to help anyone else running into trouble. I did this on a Poco F3 global version with 12.5.4 firmware.
Prerequisites:
- LineageOS recovery + LOS already installed (so you can use Magisk app to patch recovery.img)
- working adb, fastboot, and so on
- download Magisk-v23.0.apk from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v23.0
- download lineage-18.1-*-recovery-alioth.img from https://download.lineageos.org/alioth
Basing steps on https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
1. Copy recovery-alioth.img to phone; I used 'adb push lineage-18.1-20211127-recovery-alioth.img /sdcard/Download/alioth.img' to do this
2. Open Magisk app and select Install for Magisk near the top
3. Use 'Select and Patch a File' method, finding and selecting the alioth.img file
4. Click LET'S GO and let it finish.
5. Retrieve the image from the phone; I used 'adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched-[random-strings].img ~/patchedboot.img'
6. Reboot phone to bootloader by running 'adb reboot bootloader'
7. Flash patched image via 'fastboot flash boot ~/patchedboot.img'
8. Reboot into system via 'fastboot reboot'
9. Proceed to installing modules.
I was able to install Magisk hide and props config and set device fingerprint to OnePlus 6T on Android 11, hiding root from almost all apps, and then pass safetynet. Any questions or input is appreciated, I hope this helps someone!
I just flashed Lineage, rebooted, set up the phone, rebooted into recovery and then flashed Magisk.apk after renaming it to Magisk.zip. After a reboot I opened the Magisk app (which was automatically installed when flashing Magisk) for the first time and it prompted me to do some additional operations. It survived an OTA update so it should keep working in the future.
The firts mentioned method does not seem to work with the new Magisk 24.1
Does anyone have a solution to this?
(Never mind ..you need to uninstall the earlier version,then it will work)

Has anyone had issues with this? Some days ago this worked fine, but now Magisk does not let me access the "Modules" tab and Zygisk is not in the options in Settings anymore. I have a POCO F3 on Android 12, set the Fingerprint to a Redmi Note 10 to pass the CTS test (which worked and still works)
Any help would be much appreciated!

You had update yesterday I think. Your magisk is no longer there - boot image is overwritten after ota update.
Open magisk and check, it'll likely say not installed

Thanks for your reply. I'm quite new at this so I'm not sure what's going on: the latest Magisk release is still v25.2 and after following again these instructions but for v25.2, I still have the same issue. What should I do to fix this?
EDIT: you're right that it does say that it's not installed, but I followed the procedure from some days ago and it doesn't seem to fix it.
Many thanks again!

Simplest option is to reboot phone to recovery , select adb update , connect to pc and do "adb sideload magisk.apk"
It will patch image for you, don't rename it to .zip or anything

I think this is the equivalent of flashing the apk as zip in custom recovery, which is deprecated.
I compared the official one with the first post and I think the following is missing in the first post:
(Optional) If your device has a separate vbmeta partition, you can patch the vbmeta partition with command:
fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img
From:
Installation
The Magic Mask for Android

Poco has a vbmeta but i never executed this step. The instructions say that it is optional but they don't specify it.
I used the first post since LOS18.1 and no problems. Since LOS19.1 updates give me bootloops so after some repair tries (and failed twrp restore) I did a fresh install and did not take the updates anymore. No idea if it has something to do with magisk or patching vbmeta. Soon gonna try to update LOS with magisk disabled.

Does this still apply to LOS20 and Magisk 25.2? After doing this, do I still need to extract the patched image?
Hi,
I run the Amazing Evo-X 7.4, that comes with it`s own built in Recovery, it`s OK but i prefer Orangefox or TWRP, as these have more features than Evo-X STOCK.
I use a program called "Temporary Recovery" and is installed using FASTBOOT and a PC, it doesn`t overwrite the original Recovery, in case you need stock for OTA Updates.
Once in Temporary Recovery i can install all my goodies, including Magisk v25.2 as you would with normal recovery,
once your finished installing your programs you have the option to make either OrangeFox or TWRP (temporary recovery) permanent.
Example below:
I install Evo-X and it overwrites my permanent recovery ,
i Re-boot my F3 into Fastboot mode and connect it to my PC,
I run "RUN_TWRP-Orange Fox FIXED.bat", i then have a choice of either TWRP or OrangeFox, once installed my F3 reboots into Temporary recovery, i then make Recovery permanent, Re-install "Magisk-v25.2.apk" from with-in recovery and carry on where i left off.
If your interested and would like to try it out, you can find
"Temporary Recovery" on the Evo-X thread page 1, post 20,
I hope you find this useful

Not sure this is going to fit my particular needs. I'm looking to use LineageOS' recovery and stock, along with Magisk.
I had previously tried patching LineageOS' recovery with Magisk, pulling the patched .img to my desktop, then tried to fastboot flash boot <Magisk-patched>, but when I went to reboot to the system, it looped back to recovery, so I ended up going back a few steps to redo LOS recovery and LOS properly flashed.
At this point, I have a working LineageOS and recovery. I booted to the system, installed Magisk-v25.2, opened it, and did a direct install -which, if I remember correctly- is the temporary root I need in order to get root in whatever the next step is.
I just don't know what to do next.

lol... flashing patched image is all you need to do
Either via adb sideloading magisk.apk or manually flashing image both will suffice.
Just look at magisk app, if it doesn't say not installed then it is working
Hi,
When my phone automatically updated to MIUI 14, a error message appeared and then, my root was lost...
Il tryed several times to get it back patching boot.img from Magisk.. (canary version included), but when I install patched.img my phone does not start and i have to get back to boot.img
Any ideas?
Rename magisk from apk to zip, and then flash the magisk zip from recovery

Hi,
Boot your F3 into fastboot mode and connect to a PC,
Download "Temporary Recovery" and unzip, run the "RUN ME Temporary TWRP A13-Orange Fox Recovery.bat" file and choose TWRP.
Once rebooted select: Advanced from within TWRP and tap "Flash current TWRP", copy over the included Magisk files into the internal memory (I use a OTG adaptor and USB Stick), install Magisk V26.1.apk, when in recovery you can install Magisk as a .apk format.
Included are the files i use when switching between roms, included are the latest, Magisk V26.1 and Magisk Delta, it also includes the latest versions of TRWP/OrangeFox recovery and other goodies,
I hope it helps
It's possible that the MIUI 14 update may have caused compatibility issues with your previous root method. You could try using a different root method or a different version of Magisk. Additionally, make sure you are following the correct steps for patching the boot.img file and installing it. If the issue persists, you may need to wait for an updated version of Magisk or seek assistance from the Magisk community.
you can try patching Boot.img instead of flashing Magisk.zip
you can do a OrangeFox/TWRP Backup of Boot-partition and patch the resulting "boot.emmc.win" file in Magisk App, because it's actually just a normal partition-image.
then flash the magisk-patched image file.
no pc required. just a custom recovery.
you can try the new Magisk v26.1, or Magisk Alpha (not affiliated with official Magisk).
i use Magisk v26.1 Official but I'm on AOSP
