Can someone do the tutorial for rooting ze553kl after the Oreo update? Can I use the same recovery?
Thank you..

Root with magisk on Android O
You can root Zenfone 3 zoom with magisk on Android O
I tried rooting it by flashing latest super su but it stuck while booting
1. Unlock the bootloader with the asus's official unlock tool(you can get if on there website)
2. Download magisk app from their website
3. Open the app and download the latest magisk zip file
4. Download TWRP recovery for Asus Zenfone 3
Zoom(search on xda for recovery)
5. Flash TWRP recovery via fastboot method .Then
directly reboot to recovery
6. Now install magisk zip file via TWRP
7. Reboot and enjoy root and magisk modules

Thanks man, but my recovery keeps turning to stock.

Once you have flashed TWRP, reboot straight into recovery rather than back into the system, otherwise the system overwrites with stock recovery. Once you've done it once it should stick. Hope that works for you.

I keep losing my root after reboot

Hi, just as the title says everytime i reboot my devices after successfully installing magisk through a patched boot image file i lose root. Root works i also checked with the root checker when i don't reboot my device. What is causing this ?

Try boot to twrp [yes, just boot if you don't want to flash it] and flash magisk thru it.

Help with installing Magisk on Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V

I have read many threads and lots of videos and cannot seem to get the Magisk installed.
I have flashed back to stock many times with (N900VVRUEOF1_N900VVZWEOF1_N900VVRUEOF1_HOME.tar.md5) in order to try multiple methods.
Rooted with Arabictoolapp - used rootchecker to verify/application also says true for root
followed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...guide-ob6-of1-root-bootloader-unlock-t3439010
installed SU from playstore to unlock bootloader using the adp method - shows developer mode to verify - using eMMc to verify CID starts with 15
followed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...l/official-note-3-verizon-bootloader-t3359370
installed twrp using official twrp app & also tried ODIN in another trial (picked verizon americas and got twrp-3.2.3-0-hlte.img.tar and twrp-3.2.3-0-hlte.img )
turned phone off and boot into recovery to verify; at this time i created a recovery
using MagiskManager i downloaded the zip (Magisk-v18.1.ip) and flashed using twrp - no errors but when i restart the phone it says Magisk not installed
next attempt was to extract the boot.img from the stock OF1 and then flash the Magisk - no errors but when i restarted the phone it says the same thing - Magisk not installed
another attempt was to patch the boot.img and got a patch_boot.img then using TWRP i flashed the patch_boot.img - restarted and magisk not installed
after further digging, i tried another method which was to unroot using SU, reboot, go into recovery to then install Magisk - magisk not installed
*note each attempt to install Magisk unrooted my phone
*was able to use Magisk-uninstaller-20190204.zip to uninstall Magisk manager from recovery - icon went away
anyways i am completely stuck now. any suggestions or comments on my approach?

Did you uninstall SU before trying to install magisk. The two together may cause conflict.

Try twrp 2.8.7 hltevzw. You are using the stock ROM which is android 5. Twrp 3.1 and higher is for android 7 and up. I missed that the first time I read your post.

Yes. Are you installing Magisk .zip in twrp and installing Magisk Manager APK after normal reboot?

what do you mean after normal reboot? so flash magisk in twrp. reboot. reboot again then install magisk manager? do you know what version of magisk i should run and where i can find the dl link?

What he means is you install the Magisk ZIP via TWRP in Recovery mode, reboot the phone, then you install Magisk Manager via the APK.
Go to magiskmanager dot com website which has the ZIP installer plus the APK for the Manager.

I only just recently tried to tackle this challenge. I also installed 0F1 with Odin, then rooted with Arabic. I was messing with Pokemon go and it wasn't happy I was rooted. I downloaded magisk manager, installed it that way. At reboot, angry message from Verizon that I have custom software and phone won't boot. I assume this is because I didn't install custom recovery.
If you figure a way to get this done, I will be grateful. One thing I don't quite follow. Magisk is a root method...so should we really be rooting the phone prior? Seems redundant and going against the whole point of magisk. Right?
I wanted to play around with spoofing GPS with PGO which requires making a GPS spoofer a system app (need root for that). Is that still possible using magisk?
I'll post any updates I have as well.

We need to wait for Realme to release a fix, just like what happened on color os when fingerprint wasn't working

Uninstall Magisk with the .zip from their site. Github here
Instal stock recovery like you did to install custom recovery.
Next, download the C.27 update and run it from the file manager. Phone will reboot and start updating
After update, just do the whole process to root C.27 version like for Android 9.

So basically if I'm on c27 already, it's okay to use the same root method?

I tried several thins to install Magisk succesfully with no luck.
I received my Global x2 Pro this thursday and i successfully unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp recovery. But when I flask the magisk 20.4 zip and reboot my device, i get an error saying that my boot / recovery partition is corrupt. I have to install C27 again from twrp and it boots up.
Can anybody help me how to install Magisk succesfully? It's driving me nuts. Also, i cant download the vbmeta.img from the OP. So i tried to extract the vbmeta.img from the c27 image to flash, but also no lucck
Edit: Finally having it working with the Orangefox recovery with the vbmeta.img. I thought that the link in OneDrive wasnt working, but it was my home networks which was blocking OneDrive. Problem solved!

Isn't it possible to install ota update from twrp? (I use mauronofrio). Is it mandatory to unroot, install C27 and then re-root?

It's possible if someone makes a flashable zip, though I dont know of that can be done for every phone. Otherwise you need a stock recovery to install the OTA.

Like @adsubzero said. Unless you have a custom ozip file to flash on TWRP, you need to have stock recovery to install a standard ozip.

how to install magisk on lineageos 18.1?

Hello everyone
How to install magisk on lineageos 18.1?
I've downloaded/installed magisk.apk from official github website, but I cannot find clear steps about how to root the device, any help? thanks!
the device is sm-g900f

Download the magisk .apk to your phone and install it. Rename .apk to .zip and reboot to your recovery by holding volume up and home while powering on.
If using TWRP
Tap Install
Tap Install Zip to toggle the button
Select the magisk .zip file and flash
Reboot

Hi Boatshow,
great - worked for me with Magisk 23.0 perfectly - thank you so much!!! Installing first wasn't necessary so, I just downloaded to SD Card, renamed, installed with TWRP. Than I had to finish installing inside system, now all works well!

Hey guys!
New here and new to Android in general.
Instead of creating another thread and I will if its preferred, I wanted to ask how do I install Magisk without TWRP?
I'm on LineageOS 8.1 and my device is an OnePlus 8T.
The goal is to pass SafetyNet.

edit: possible human error.
Editx2: How crucial is it that I use this command to copy the patched image vs just dragging and dropping my phone to the pc?
Copy the patched image to your PC with ADB:adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched_[random_strings].img
My OnePlus 8T doesn't have an SD Card and I couldn't find the directory to run the command. Instead I dragged and dropped / copied from phone to PC - then flashed the patched boot.img.
After reboot my phone is stuck in the bootloader for LineageOS

Hi there, I have the same exact question here!
There seems to be no easy way to install TWRP on Pixel 3 XL...even if I would like to, as it would make full system backups a piece of cake!

You can install Magisk thru LineageOS Recovery Mode, just use adb sideload magisk.zip(rename magisk.apk into magisk.zip) after you've installed Magisk app on your phone.
