Can't get magisk to work on G4 Plus - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

XT1644, re-installed TWRP-flashable Nougat 7.0 stock ROM, then ElementalX (G4-2.01), then booted and installed the kernel manager to verify ElementalX was installed correctly (it was), then rebooted and flashed Magisk, and now the phone won't boot. Gets stuck on the startup flash screen and doesn't move on. I've tried Magisk 19.3 and 19.2 with same results. I'm using TWRP 3.2.3-0 installed in recovery. I've also tried installing ElementalX and Magisk in the same TWRP session, and then it won't boot at all - stays stuck on a completely black screen. Up until I verified correct installation of ElementalX, I restored stock boot image in between each attempt. Since verifying ElementalX installation I've been restoring backed-up boot image w/ ElementalX. Anyway, would appreciate any advice on how to get Magisk working. Everything I'm finding online so far just says to make sure you install ElementalX or some other kernel update first, and then Magisk will work...but it's not working that way for me.

Try flashing older zips of Magisk. I was too encountered with the same problem past 2-3 weeks ago

Curious to know if an older version of Magisk was any help.

N6P Stuck on "Preparing Contacts Storage"

Hello,
I'm on a rooted N6P with ElementalX and TWRP (both latest versions).
I used Flashfire to flash the September security update image. I chose that Flashfire boot into TWRP when flashing the image was done and I re-flashed Xposed and ElementalX, wiped cache/dalvik and rebooted.
All was well, the apps were being optimized, when that finished, I got stuck on: "Preparing Contacts Storage".
It's been like that for about half an hour now.
I really need your help to get the phone booted again.
Thanks!
Update: Solved. I went into TWRP file manager, /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf and deleted the "modules.list" file. The phone booted normally. I then went to TWRP and reflashed Xposed. Everything is fine now.

[solved] Stuck on 1+ logo on boot after flashing Magisk, works perfectly without

Spoiler: Culprit was App Systemizer.
I've had Magisk on my OP5 (128) for some time, and had the most common modules installed (can't get the list currently), but when I rebooted the phone this morning to install AllStream (dlna streaming app), the phone got stuck on the 1+ logo screen, that shows before the boot animation. I let it run for around 15 minutes but it was still stuck.
I rebooted into fastboot (recovery didn't work) and did
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-cheeseburger.img
to get into TWRP, and I reflashed the zip of the latest OOS (4.5.8) (of course, wiped caches beforehand). I rebooted and it worked (no root, of course).
So I rebooted into TWRP and flashed a freshly downloaded Magisk 13.3 zip, rebooted, and then it got stuck on the 1+ logo again. Flashed OOS zip, and it worked again (writing from the phone right now).
TL;DR: OP5 128 with Magisk & TWRP works perfectly. And then one day, book, stuck on logo at boot
Flashed latest OOS zip, works. Flash Magisk zip, stuck at boot again. Flashed OOS again, works.
In case of a Magisk module is responsible for that, how can I remove modules without actually installing Magisk?
I'm on latest OOS with magisk and twrp with no issues. I don't use any magisk module. My upgrade procedure was in twrp:
Flash full zip of 4.5.8
Flash twrp IMG from twrp
Flash magisk 13.3
Wipe cache and dalvik cache
Reboot
Sent from my OnePlus 5
Try just installing the magisk manager apk but without installing magisk root. Then on magisk manager uninstall the offending module, reboot to recovery, wipe caches and then flash root.

You don't need to flash the twrp image on every update.
As I said, Magisk has been working perfectly for weeks, it's just that when I random rebooted my phone it didn't boot correctly.
Then on magisk manager uninstall the offending module, reboot to recovery, wipe caches and then flash root.

If Magisk is not installed, Magisk Manager doesn't have the Modules tab.

I do. Stock recovery is restored every time I flash an update.
I am quite sure the problem comes from a module and not from Magisk itself, since it was working before. But I can only remove modules if Magisk is installed.
Quote from my reply on the other thread
@duxishere Thanks so much!
I searched for "Magisk module offline uninstall" but did find anything. This was exactly what I needed! The culprit was App Systemizer. I've had it installed for some time and it didn't cause any problems. I uninstalled it, and it worked! Flashing it again restored the boot problem.

I'm having the same problem, look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/magisk-modules-t3651558
I suppose the magisk's modules stay installed in the background and when we flash it again, the phone bootloops.
I had to use SuperSU for now until I understand what's happening.

Need help getting back root/magisk

I updated to 9.0.12 today and went to magisk app to reinstall and wasnt able to. So i rebooted and when it was all booted back up i didn't have magisk or root. I decided it was time for a permanent twrp so i loaded twrp. Img and installed the twrp installer. Booted back into twrp and flashed magisk 18.1.zip and rebooted. When it was back up i still didn't have magisk or root so i tried to install magisk apk and it fails to install.
I dont know what else to do to be rooted again. Any help would be great.
That's strange. I'm having a similar problem. I upped to OOS 9.0.12 on my rooted 6t by flashing the full rom, flashing TWRP, then rebooting to recovery and flashing Magisk 18.1 stable.
After rebooting it boots into the system, but after just a quick moment it says powering down and then reboots to TWRP. I tried a nandroid backup and the same issue keeps happing.
Flashing OSS 9.0.12 and TWRP again fixes the rebooting issue, but now I don't have root
did you "fastboot boot twrp img name" then install the Twrp installer to both slots ?

I had this issue yesterday too, where I loaded 9.0.12 and TWRP, rebooted to recovery, loaded Magisk and then the phone would automagically shutdown after boot.
TL;DR; an issue with a magisk module misbehaving.
After some research, this is what worked for me:
Download the latest version of Magisk and the Magisk uninstaller from the Magisk thread. Reboot to recovery, and then zip install Magisk, but don't reboot. Immediately after, run the Magisk uninstaller. This should clear any offending modules. After that, you can reboot back into recovery and install Magisk normally. You'll need to reload your modules, though.

The best way to take the update is download the full ROM and let the factory installer do the update via local install.
You lose root and TWRP, but that happens anyway.
I typically install, reboot, install.
This forces the OS to be the same in both a and b.
Then I go through the process of TWRP, etc.
after what i mostly do:
in fastboot boot to twrp,
install full rom,
install twrp,
reboot to twrp,
install magisk,
reboot to system
aaand it shut down on me ;(
in twrp i had to:
uninstall magisk (with the magisk uninstaller)
install magisk
almost done (reboot to system)
reinstall your magisk modules (they will be gone thanks to the unistaller, so know what you have magisked)
luckily it was that simple
So to avoid it al together:
take note of your magisk modules
fastboot to twrp,
install full rom,
install twrp,
reboot to twrp,
uninstall magisk,
install magisk,
reboot,
done!

In twrp go to wipe and select format data, copy magisk to SD card or internal after wipe, flash magisk. Then it should boot

Flashing Magisk 20.2 Bricked My Phone

Hello everyone,
I was just casually rooting my Moto G4 Plus, but as the title says, I was unable to install Magisk on it. This is what happened:
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP 3.2.1-0. No problems at all.
I flashed the latest Magisk .zip, which is 20.2.
I reboot my phone, and the screen stays completely pitch black. Not even the "your device can't be trusted" warning comes up. The phone is bricked.
I was able to unbrick it by flashing the uninstaller. After doing that, the phone booted up fine. (Without Magisk installed, obviously.)
I noticed that the installation instructions said that "Installing Magisk for the first time REQUIRES a full data wipe."
So, I wiped my data partition and flashed the Magisk .zip again. Same problem as before (won't boot), except this time when I try flashing the uninstaller, it fails because it cannot access the Data partition (probably because I wiped it, right?)
Anyways, has anyone had this problem too? Please let me know.
Update: Unbricked by flashing stock rom. Flashed ElementalX, and then Magisk. Everything is all good now haha
Yes even i had to face same issues so flashed stock rom . There must be issues with the updated magisk build.
