Your device is old, it's better to handle with a new recovery like TWRP than another method (if there was)

I do have an idea on how to do it i just want some clarification.
I will lose the TWRP and Root on the process right? If so can someone tell me a step by step guide on updating? And dirty flashing at the same time? The do's and dont's. Thanks!
You are currently in which build? Beta to stable is not recommended.
Btw, I am using bluspark recovery and it survived dirty flashes for me. Else no worries after system boots, boot to bootloader later and flash twrp image again.
Im on stable build should i trust the OTA that has been downloaded on the phone update itself or just use the zip file and flash it via twrp instead? Thanks
Download zip file
Flash it in TWRP and DON'T REBOOT YET
flash Magisk in TWRP
Reboot
Done
At least that's what I did and the root is still here

After flash magisk I flash twrp
Hi guys
I've just bought a used Pixel 2XL and now figuring out how to root. Just wonder if it's good to use Magisk stable ver 18.0 to root the pixel 2xl on November update?
Thanks

No worries there either. Running it myself!
just jumped from november to march update using OTA via adb push and after i flash magisk it causes the phone to bootloop.
looks like there is a problem with patching the boot.img from magisk, reflashing the stock boot file the pixel works but no root obviously....any idea?

There are several scenarios you could try.
1. Fastboot into twrp, flash twrp installer zip, flash magisk and see if it boots.
2. Fastboot into twrp, flash twrp installer zip, flash magisk, flash magisk uninstaller, then flash magisk again and see if it boots.
3. Fastboot into twrp, flash twrp installer zip, flash magisk, reboot to twrp, flash magisk uninstaller zip, then flash magisk again and see if it boots.
4. Fastboot into twrp, flash magisk, then flash magisk uninstaller zip, then flash magisk again and see if it boots. Twrp will be gone as well.
5. Try some of the above, but add a custom kernel into the mix.
Sometimes it can take 4-5 tries before you'll get it to boot up with root. Just be patiently persistent my friend and you'll get it :good:

thank you for spending your time to help me, very appreciated :good:
the trick was to remove magisk flashing the uninstaller, that i didn't before, after this it worked from first time...
as i install magisk and twrp on my mi a2 lite, i already unlocked the bootloader, but i can't install it
when I install magisk it appears:
unsupported / unknown image format

image format?
you have to flash Magisk via twrp custom recovery. Download the latest Magisk . zip file from the official site , then flash it with twrp recovery.When you reboot to system install the Magisk manager app, you can download it again from the official Magisk site
I thought the normal Magisk install process was not done via TWRP?

That's the only way I've ever installed Magisk on this phone. You need to install it after TWRP (or re-install) because the TWRP installer removes Magisk from the boot image.

Of course you can install magisk via twrp absolutely normal,and it's way easier ,and faster without bugs ,with cts profile: true and etc.
The magisk apk, when flashed in TWRP flashes as normal but the app does not show up in the ROM, and the phone doesn't get rooted.
I had this problem on both ArrowOS and Syberia OS now, and I clean flashed both times directly from MIUI.
Can anyone help me out with this?
Install the magisk app
Rename magisk.apk to magisk.zip (only change the last 3 letters) and install it from TWRP-recovery.

It didn't work either, when I open magisk app it shows this -
Download Canary version of Magisk (23001) from Github: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk-files/canary/app-debug.apk
Rename app-debug.apk to app-debug.zip and flash it with TWRP

No change
Other method is patching boot.img with magisk manager. You can find some tutorials with google. Extract the boot.img from ROM.zip, put in on internal memory of your phone and patch it with magisk manager app on your phone.
Than flash the patched boot.img with adb or TWRP. You need an extractor tool to get the boot.img from the rom.zip.

I am using a custom kernel, will that change the process?
You need to reflash the custom kernel again after flashing the patched boot.img, but first check if your phone is rooted. (check in magisk app or install a root check app.)
The boot backup that I took before I flashed my custom kernel is the one that needs to be patched right?
If this isn't the case, can you guide me on how to get the boot.img? I only see payload.bin in my ROM.zip .
Okay, thank you for your help everyone
I ran into a different problem - when I install the patched boot.img, I get magisk but then I boot into TWRP and flash TWRP and my custom kernel, and I lose my root.

You have to patch the boot IMG with the TWRP already flashed, our phone doesn't have a recovery partition, so it's saved in the boot partition and installing Magisk from TWRP deletes the recovery, here is a good tutorial:
TWRP + Root
Hi all. Hope you are good and safe from Covid-19. If you like TWRP as your recovery and want to keep root access as well, I am going to show you how to do that. Because if you take the stock boot.img and patch it via magisk, you will lose TWRP...
forum.xda-developers.com
i dont understand why evertime when i flash the fastboot img of magisk , i lose the kernel and twrp too
.and the opposite way is true either.., maybe related to boot_a and boot_b or something...
im noob please need help
i want Magisk + Kernel Baalam + TWRP en my device
but img Magisk no allowed it
the img contains the ramdisks for recovery and kernel.
flash twrp then from it flash the zips of magisk and the kernel you want,that way they will be patched into the partition instead of replacing the whole thing
