Moto G4 Plus Bricked After Magisk

I've spent the past few days trying to install the new Nougat update on my phone, and I finally managed to do it. I heard Magisk works for Nougat so I decided to use it as my root so i could back up my partitions and whatnot for the next update. I download the Magisk installer using the app, use fastboot to boot into TWRP, and flash the installer. All seemingly goes well, but when I reboot, nothing happens. I can access bootloader, I can access the stock recovery that's still loaded, but it will not start up, and any attempt to start it while the phone is plugged in leaves it in a black screen with the LED next to the fingerprint sensor consistently flashing. I'm no expert, but this doesn't seem good. Is it bricked? Is there an easy fix? So far I've tried using the recovery to wipe the cache and used TWRP to do a full factory reset, neither of which did anything. My Moto G4 Plus is an XT1644, and my model number was mpj24.139-64, which I'd assume means it is now npj24.139-64, but I have no way to check.
I feel like my best bet here is for someone else to extract their system, logo, boot, and all those partitions and I can just flash those in, but I honestly have no idea. This is my only phone by the way, so help would be muchly appreciated.

You need a custom Kernel first thing after re-flashing the stock, recommend ElementalX. Only after that you can root (I prefer the latest beta SuperSU, in systemless mode).
The stock Nougat is locked up pretty good.

Solved
No worries, managed to safely flash the stock rom I had for the previous version and re-update. Seems to work fine now.

Phone won't boot after successful(?) root

Hello,
yesterday I tried to root my Huawei P8. I've unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP and in TWRP I installed SuperSU v2.46 (I didnt't wipe dalvik cache after that). Then I rebooted my phone and it didn't boot up, it just stayed by the pulsating Huawei logo. I let it in this process over night but still no result. Today I tried to flash the B110 recovery stock, after that the TWRP was gone and I can only access Huawei eRecovery and Bootloader mode. With some research I found another version of SuperSU v2.67 and I flashed another TWRP but that won't work, I can only access eRecovery, even after several tries and in the console it said it was successful.
I hope I made my problem clear and anybody can help me

I do not know anything with such old firmwares but I experienced similar issues with with SuperSU above B393 firmwares. I gave up the old school way of rooting and SuperSU as it coused bootloops like you described above and switched to the magisk way with the B398 firmware. Everything works. Will upload all needed files in the B398 thread in an hour or so.

Having Problems Trying to Root / Flash TWRP

Hey all, I've spent my entire night trying to get root on my new OnePlus 5 so that I can transfer all of my data from my Nexus 6p over through TitaniumBackup, but for some reason I am having weird issues.
I've followed Funk Wizard's guide on unlocking the bootloader and getting a custom recovery to root, but that's when weird things began to happen. I flawlessly was able to get TWRP running the first time through since it was similar setup to how I got everything working on my Nexus 6p. Once I tried booting back into the ROM though after flashing Magisk, the boot failed and rebooted back into recovery. This kept happening no matter what I tried to do. TWRP also was failing to flash the full Oxygen OS zips as well. I tried flashing stock recovery over TWRP to see if that would let me flash the zip, but then it stuck me back in TWRP afterwards despite overwriting it. I updated the TWRP to the "last latest build" which allowed me to flash the zip and boot back into my ROM successfully. However, then I tried going back into the recovery, it defaulted to the stock one again rather than the TWRP I had before. I reflashed TWRP but it keeps getting the stock OnePlus 5 recovery consistently. I am unsure of what to do. :\ I have to switch back to my old battery-failing phone for the time being. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Drivers work; manually forced the ADB driver for fastboot. Device just OTA'd to 4.5.3 a few moments ago; I am still getting the same issue. I also tried the latest TWRP but it still achieved no results whatsoever. All of my flashing is done through fastboot.

Hi I red your problem tho I am new here I successfuly rooted my OnePlus 5.
I think that the problem is either not using proper rooting zip's or bad drivers so I will tell you how I rooted mine.
I reccomend using this tool so you will be sure 100% that you have the ADB, Fastboot and necessary Drivers.

Those are the files that I used(The Magisk zip file and the recovery):
https://mega.nz/#!AA8FGLZR!63Q4HGrAoIlNlwR_NVj8Rbq4RKoPKaEnHLtHuEW3o94
I do not remember from where I downloaded them, neither I can find them from my messy history cuz I searched a lot for them around the internet, so I upload them for you!
Magisk link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589
So basically I went to my phone's settings unlocked Developer options by spamming the build number so I can get there and enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging. After that I rebooted my phone into fastboot mode like I just normally turned it off and hold the power button and VOL+ key. after that I connected my OnePlus to the PC using the DASH cable. You should download beforehand the TRWP and latest Magisk.zip so you can root it using Magisk I have not tried using SuperSU. So you basucally flash the TWRP using the "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-oneplus5.img" command in my case and you transfer the Magisk Manager and zip file on the phone later so you can root. Then you just flash Magisk's latest zip file or use mine. I do not remember if I manually installed the Magisk Manager APK file tho I have it downloaded on my PC gonna zip them real quick with the recovery and uploade them.

HELP! S8 won't boot up!

I've messed everything up and now I'm devastated!
My S8 stucks at the very first screen (where it says: SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 - powered by android). It doesn't boot further this very specific screen. I have tried to update Magisk and Magisk Manager but only Magisk Manager seems to get updated successfully while the app suddenly says that the latest version of Magisk Manager required Magisk V19.XX hence I've tried to install it via TWRP. According to log screen, I've managed to install magisk via TWRP but after booting up, I opened Magisk Manager where it now says that Magisk isn't installed. I therefore boot into TWRP and tried to fix it since some apps of mine that required root access wasn't working anymore. So, I thought I must have lost root access. I once again boot into recovery, I uninstalled magisk and install an older version of magisk and magisk manager and also the no_verity patch. After that my Galaxy S8 won't boot up. It just stucks at the very first screen. My S8 (international version) is still on Nougat stock samsung firmware and I can enter TWRP but the phone remains freeze and stubbornly refused to boot up.
I'm quite devastated and I hope you guys can help me fix this issue!
Thank you!

Hi, well sorry if I am stating the obvious but I would format and install one of the many custom roms available...

Are there any solutions other than flashing a custom rom? Meanwhile, I have managed to flash Android 9 via ODIN and have TWRP installed but it won't boot up and stucks at the very first booting screens.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Have you tried just flashing stock rom only to see if it boots up. You may have to do a clean install.
Problem sounds like you haven't decrypted phone and flashed no verity zip file.
You won't need to flash a custom rom to fix this.
As for magisk have a look through this very helpful guide for installs and troubleshooting.

I've managed to solve this issue by myself. But still, thank you so much! It's the thought that counts ? And yes, I've figured out that I haven't decrypt my S8. But everything is absolutely fine now and I feel extremely relieved. It took me 1 day to fix this major issue and I've encountered lots of difficulties while trying to fix this like bootloops, system won't boot up and managed to stuck at the very first booting screen again and the phone boot past the first booting screen and stucks at the second booting screen, and also bootloader error and stuffs like where realization hit me that I can't restore my nandroid backup while still on Nougat because after restoring it won't boot up. I therefore managed to flash Android 9 and twrp. My S8 is now on Android Pie with custom recovery and rooted (via Magisk).

Lost root access and can't get it back via Magisk. Help!

Galaxy S8 Exynos [SM-G950FD] Android Oreo 8.0.0
Hello. it's my first time posting here. So I've had a successful attempt at flashing TWRP and Magisk into my phone. Today I accidentally plugged in my charger while it was in the process of rebooting, so it entered my device into kind of a bootloop. I solved this by going into Download Mode and pressing 'Cancel', which prompted my device to successfully reboot and work again.
The problem is that I've somehow lost my root. None of my apps can get root access, CPU-Z says no root available, and Magisk Manager said "Magisk is not installed". Idk how I got to this because yesterday all was working, I assume it's because I got a bootloop or went into Download Mode.
I tried to install the official Magisk ZIP file from the Manager, go into recovery mode, and flash it via TWRP. Unfortunately this didn't work. This is the only solution I can come up with besides reflashing Stock and having to flash Magisk again and wipe all my current data. If anyone has any suggestions please comment down below as I'm kinda stuck rn. They would be greatly appreaciated!
