The strangest issues...

Hey all!
Those of you monitoring the unofficial LineageOS thread may have seen me talking about this already. I've been having issues with Magisk. I'm running their beta versions for 13.0.
So here's the story...
I have wanted to pass SafetyNet since May, when I got this phone and rooted it. I obviously went to Magisk, and when I realized that 11.6 was not passing SafetyNet, I decided to try the 13 betas. These didn't pass either, but since they were more recent than 11.6, I stuck with them. But when I heard of the Universal SafetyNet Fix Module, I immediately tried it.
Bottom line, these are my issues:
1. Magisk will not install the module. I go to Magisk Manager -> Modules -> + and select the ZIP for the module. Magisk gives me a toast saying "Installation error!" (See screenshot).
2. Okay, so now I want to start fresh and see if it works then. I boot into TWRP, flash the lastest Magisk uninstaller (08 June), and boot. Nope! Stuck on the "device unlocked" screen with ID: bad key.
3. Uhh.. maybe the stock boot image will work? I go to TWRP and flash the stock boot.img taken from the stock firmware. Still ID: bad key and I'm stuck again.
And I can boot successfully if I flash a Magisk 13.0 beta.
So, does anybody have any solutions? I think I may just have to reflash stock firmware.. not my top choice. Thank you for any help and reading through my long post :good: :highfive:

Try to install magisk v12, it always worked for me on every rom with safetynet fix ( try also the previous uninstaller )

Will give it a shot and update when I see results.
Edit: Nope. I've a feeling that I'll have to start from scratch by flashing stock firmware.

Try flashing the safetynet fix in trwp.

Tried already. Still no.

Well, as far as I can see you messed up your installation. Start from scratch:
1. Go to TWRP and wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache.
2. Install LineageOS, GAPPS, Magisk 12 and the stable version of the safetynet fix
3. Reboot and setup your nice and clean system again.
Bottom-line: don't keep messing with an already messed up system. Start clean again. And really: don't install stock boot.img on LineageOS: that's asking for trouble! To be honest: I'm astonished it even booted!!

Lol, was doing this all on the stock ROM. See my original response to triggerlord's post.
Edit: issues fixed with a clean install of the pure Nexus ROM. I'm assuming this would be the case with a clean install of the stock ROM, but I am definitely not switching anytime soon (this ROM is amazing!)

Stuck in boot forever

I downloaded and installed the unofficial xposed by abforce for my zte axon 7 lineage os 7.1.2 and i started having problems like its would spam my screen with bank app, facebook, snapchat, TWRP, xposed installer et literally ever app would notify me that it had stopped. So i decided to remove it via the xposed installer, i used the correct uninstalller (arm64) but after reboot im not stuck in a continuous boot. It's juts keeps on booting. Last time i had this problem with a continious boot i re-installed gapps and that worked. But in this case, it is not working. I re-installed magisk as well but it's still just booting. I can boot into twrp recovery and stuff.. It's been booting for around 30mins now and it still won't boot. I have a backup of my system when i first got lineage OS with no gapps though.

Problems updating from 5.1.7 to 9

Hi,
I have a rooted OP5, running 5.1.7 and TWRP. I used Oxygen Updater to download the new android 9 ROM. I tried to install via TWRP, but got an error about zip compatability & a treble problem. I found a thread stating that I needed a newer TWRP to fix the treble problem, so I installed TWRP_3.2.3-Pie_siankatabg_OP5 , which said it had Pie support, from here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903996029
That worked fine, but when I tried to flash the 9 ROM, I got still got the same error. Another post said to remove compatibility.zip from the ROM zip. I did that, and it now installed, but it wouldn't boot. Re-flashing 5.1.7 booted fine. I tried another TWRP - twrp-3.2.3-0-20181227-codeworkx-nocompatcheck-cheeseburger from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-oxygenos-5-0-t3725723
That installs, and boots to system, but won't boot to recovery, so I can't install the 9 ROM.
Any ideas where I go from here to upgrade to 9?
Thanks!

Hi, I got Pie to install with TWRP_3.2.3-Pie_siankatabg_OP5 on my device.
Go to this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78523940&postcount=13
And follow my post on the part where it says:
" Notes for the Pie update: "
Let us know if those steps work for you. The firmware is linked to on there, pre-modified. Try flashing that pre-modified zip and see if your device boots.

It sounds like you did not follow the detailed flashing instructions in the first post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003
Is your device storage encrypted or decrypted? Have you flashed magisk? Have you used an older magisk(your end link leads to my post where I mention that)? Have you downloaded the rom file without compatibility.zip or did you removed it on your own?

Thanks for the links both, but still no go. I was on Magisck 17.1, uninstalled Magisk with the latest uninstaller, flashed the ROM with compatability.zip already removed. Same result as before - I get the oneplus logo, then it just reboots instead of starting the system. I've only wiped cache & dalvik, I don't really want to wipe more than that if I can help it - it is worth trying a system/vendor/data wipe? I recovered by flashing back to 5.1.7 (also updated to Magisk 18 while I was at it).
Any more ideas? One thing I find a little weird is that I'm on the @siankatabg TWRP, when I tried either the bluespark & codeworx TWPR, I couldn't get into recovery with either, I just got a blank screen with a LED staying on light blue. Only the siankatabg recovery works. Surely any of them should work? Does this point to a problem?
I'm not sure what you mean by encrypted or not - I get messages about unencrypting when going into recovery, which I assume means I am encrypted?
THanks!

Maybe try backing your device up, and then locking the bootloader. Try updating with stock recovery on a locked bootloader. If that works, you can then unlock the bootloader and copy your data back

Please use an older recovery like twrp-3.2.3-0-20181031-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img the actual pie recoveries require pie firmware(mentioned in last post of blue spark thread for example).

OK, I understand now - if I use an older TWRP, or the siankatabg version, it works fine. I can then flash the Pie ROM, however it still won't boot - I get the oneplus logo, then it just reboots. However having done the Pie flash, I can then flash the more recent TWRPs (codeworx or Bluespark), and can now get into recovery fine. However Pie still won't boot - I've even tried re-flashing the Pie ROM from within the newer TWRPs, but the result is the same - it gets to the oneplus logo, then reboots. At this stage I guess wiping system/vendor/data is the only way forwards?
*Edit* - OK, so wiping everything fixed the issue, I'm now on Pie. Flashing Magisk didn't work when flashing the ROM, but I'll try again once it's finished downloading all my apps etc.

'The System has been Destroyed' when installing TWRP zip in hotboot TWRP

UPDATE - Did not manage to find a way to get TWRP installed permanently but did manage to install Lineage OS 16 (which was my end goal) via hotboot of their recovery IMG, so happy with that at least! Appreciate any help given!
Not sure what I am doing wrong. have never come across this before!
I just completely reset my phone to stock via MiFlash
I then boot into TWRP recovery from Fastboot
I then install the TWRP installer in TWRP
I then reboot to recovery but get 'The System has been Destroyed'
I can still boot into the stock ROM
I can still boot into Fastboot
I just can't seem to get TWRP to install, I can only access it in hotboot
Any help would be amazing!

It's a known issue with Stock Pie and permanent TWRP.
A solution is to install magisk before booting to system

Unfortunately did not do the trick for me
I installed TWRP then magisk, then rebooted to system
I then rebooted back to recovery but still get 'The system has been destroyed' message

Never install twrp on stock pie. You'll get the same message. Hotboot it only.

From what I have tried it seems that it is a bug with stock pie, custom roms with pie and stock oreo don't have this problem.
Anyway, you can basically get the same functionality by hotbooting but it's less convenient.

I have TWRP installed and resurrection remix. Maybe their TWRP works for you, just check the instructions and give it a try.

I think you should install TWRP in both slot A and B for it to work.

Weird, it used to work for me when I was on stock pie.
I'm on a custom rom right now so I cannot test if it still works.
Sorry

I also have the same problem but now I'm on a custom rom and the TWRP without magisk works, but I would like to try an sGSI, on a custom rom does the procedure work?

Try another twrp

I'm here also had the same problem on mi A2 lite
But Rom run smooth and stable for a long time that I even forgot I have no twrp. Instead I backed up with titanium bk just in case. So ,Hotbooted with adb.... less convinient but u get to where u wanna flash though

Phone stuck in bootloop after updating Magisk

I'm running Android 10 with EvoX rom and after last update of Magisk to 21.4 the phone is stuck on bootloop. After going to recovery and uninstalling Magisk I have the same problem, it's still in bootloop. What can I do to fix the problem?

Dirty flash ROM or if 1st step doesn't work factory reset and install everything

Same here. I don't want to do a factory reset.
I tried to:
- uninstall Magisk from twrp
- flash the boot.img of the rom
- flash the previous version 21.2 of magisk
but none of this worked!

I have the same Issue. Havoc 3.9., Magisk 21.4.
I tried to dirty flash the rom, uninstall magisk 21.4 via twrp, and flashing 21.2.
Didn't help. Occassionally I got into the system, but the screen is a bit more white than usually, I can type in my lock password, but after this, System UI fails.
Yesterday I flashed the fix for safetynet passing after the latest update, which made it work again, and I remember that at the relevant magisk forum, somebody mentioned that would affect System UI somehow. Now I am trying to repair the System UI to see if it works as a solution.

What fix are you talking about? Where can I acquire it?
EDIT: In my case the bootloop was caused by the Systemless Xposed Framework module v90-beta2 by rovo89 (packaged by topjohnwu). Disabling that module allowed me to boot normally.

How can you install that Module from TWRP?
That i remember i never installed it, it's automatically loaded with magisk?
To solve this problem i had to format the phone, installing the OS again and also magisk v21.2. But Today i got the same problem... so maybe is not the versione of magisk. But I don't know of to solve it.
I tried also the sotck boot.img, but it stays some seconds on the boot screen of lineage OS and then reboot again stucking on Mi logo.

i also had to install stock rom, lost all the data on the phone. today i have to install custom rom, and will probably pass on the magisk, i don't need sh**t like this happening again.

I had to reinstall the rom from scratch, and needed to format data partition too. After flashing my ROM back, I installed magisk 21.2 and it works great.

I solved:
-go in fastboot mode
-flash twrp recovery
-go in twrp and with mtp insert magisk-uninstaller.zip and last magisk-21.4.zip
-run uninstaller.zip than installer.zip
-reboot in system
