Running on a stock Pie with latest security update, I want to root my phone in order to utilize some Magisk modules, but I'm really concerned about all the "System has been destroyed" TWRP issues, it messed up my phone twice in the past.
I was wondering, could I flash Magisk just by temporarily fastbooting TWRP from the computer? Will that provide me a root access and prevent any future soft-bricking caused by the A/B partition issues?
Thanks in advance.
You can install magisk manager and patch boot image (kernel) as file from that. Than you fastboot that kernel and get temporary magisk root. After that, install permanent root from magisk manager and reboot. You dont need twrp for that.
Thank you for a suggestion, but that doesn't answer my question.
If the root is what you want, this is the best way to install magisk imho.
Hello,yes,you can temporary boot TWRP.
1.Make sure to have your bootloader unlocked
2.Make sure to have platform-tools on your PC
3.Download the latest .img file from TWRP Official Site and copy it in the platform-tools folder
4.Put your phone in Fastboot Mode(Volume Down+Power)
5.On your PC,in the platform-tools folder,hold Left Shift and press Right Click;it should appear an option namedpen a Powershell window here
6.Click on that
7.Write "fastboot devices" or ".\fastboot devices"
8. If your device appears there,you can write:fastboot boot "name of the file".img
9.It should boot in TWRP;if it asks you to swipe to allow modifications,don't do it,instead,press on Keep Read Only
From this point,you can install whatever you want.

Sadly goes into a bootloop for me - no idea why though
This worked for me. I had magisk installed and took the pie update. No more root. D/l the factory image and extracted the boot image to the files folder...pissmeoff they changed the name of the icon... and magisk patched the image and saved it in its folder. Found the file, moved it to the laptop then flashed it.

I always did that method pre Pie and it always worked but now I end up in a bootloop and I did everything according to guide

I think you use my file(boot.img) for patch_boot.img from magisk manager.
I think you must check your build number devices.
You must use file boot.img from your factory image for root.
9.0.0 (PPR1.180610.009, Aug 2018) >This is version for my devices
9.0.0 (PPR1.180610.011, Aug 2018, Telstra) >?
hey mate thanks for the input, I got a normal non testra (whatever that is) taimen - tried your boot.img and before that I tried the one from the factory image, both result in a boot loop.
I went through all stages of the Android p beta and in the end, to try solve this, I also non wipe flashed the factory image all to get the same result
could you sent me a drive Link to the patched version of yours or something?

You use adb last version for flash patch_boot.img ?
I think you should flash factory image new again and factory reset your devices.
You are use stock kernel or other kernel on your devices.

I downloaded all the latest adb and fastboot. Never touched kernel or did custom recovery, always used the magisk method since i am on a pixel device. i also got the issue that my pc doesnt recognize my pixel from time to time, you think i should do a complete wipe?
I don't sure.
You are use platfrom-tool from sdk lastversion?(for flash via fastboot mode)

While uninstalling Magisk(from rooted stock), do we need to find the current active slot and flash the stock image to it? In the guide flashing to both partitions is mentioned.

Hey Matteo,
I've got a problem while booting with the patched boot image. Whenever I start the 'fastboot boot image' stuff, it ends with following message:
downloading 'boot.img'...
FAILED (command write failed (no error))
finished. Total time 0.002s
Phone screen goes black and says 'press any key to continue' or something like that. I tried several different USB ports and also different boot images, I cant even boot with the stock image.
When I unlocked the bootloader I had a problem that while booting the phone said I should perform a factroy reset because of a corrupt file system...after doing that, the phone itself works fine. But I really want the root access.
Have you ever encountered that message?
Thanks in advance
Update: Did the same procedure with my notebook and ironically it worked without a flaw. USB driver conflicts maybe?
On Pie V10.0.2.0, applied the patched_boot.img, Magisk was not installed at the beginning.
Installed Magisk manually but the phone was not rooted.
Applied the patched_boot.img again and I got root.
Now, every time I reboot the phone, root is gone and I have to apply the patched_boot.img again.
Thread closed on OP request
I'm using android Pie(stock rom) on mi a1. I want to flash Lineageos for microG. On TWRP Recovery website, it says this device(mi a1-tissot) uses dm-verity and in order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in fastboot.
I'm completely new in the realm of flashing custom roms. And no website and youtube video talks about dm-verity in a clear manner:crying:. So what steps exactly should I follow to install Lineageos for microG?
Also, my phone(data) is encrypted. And I can't find a way to decrypt it. Will it affect flashing TWRP Recovery or Lineageos?
wHY did not anybody answer guys?
Here are the steps to install TWRP and maybe a custom ROM:
1.Make sure to have USB Debugging activated
2.Put the Mi A1 in Fastboot Mode(Volume Down+Power)
3.Connect your phone to your PC
4.Make sure to have downloaded platform-tools
5.Download the .img TWRP file and copy it in the platform-tools folder
6.Hold Shift and right Click in the platform-tools folder,and click onpen a PowerShell window here
7.Type fastboot devices or .\fastboot devices(for me the second worked)
8.Now write fastboot boot twrp.xx.xx.xx.img(here Goes the name of your .img TWRP file)
9.After 15 seconds,you will probably see a warning that asks You to swipe to allow modifications.Don't swipe.Press on:Keep read only.
10.From this point,You can install every custom ROM,You can install Magisk.
Hope this helped You out!

I found this thread by doing something wrong that you mentioned. I didn't swipe to allow modifications and now the TWRP can't flash anything. Tried every remedy I can find but nothing. It can wipe system though, but not restore it so now I'm stuck in bootloops. Damn, idk what to do.
Dear Zentom,for me,that method worked.But,I can help you get out of that situation
1.Make sure to have your bootloader unlocked
2.Download the stock ROM for Mi A1
3.Boot into Fastboot Mode
4.Extract the stock ROM archive
5.Copy all the extracted files into the platform-tools folder
6.Find a .bat file names "flash-all"
7.Open it
8.After 15 minutes or so,your phone will boot.
Hope I helped you!

Thanks, but I flashed the stock rom from twrp anyway. Though I had to flash the October 2019 ROM. Do you know anywhere where one can get an updated one?
If You want the latest stock ROM,this is:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yVWv4hiTSk-3zai-4u2c2OcLpRdFL_J6/view
Hello This a thread to show you how to prevent the stock rom from flashing the stock recovery every time you boot up. There is a script likely located in the boot.img file of the stock rom that flashes the stock recovery every time you boot up. what you have to do is overwrite that boot.img which would disable that script from running. one easy way to do this is to flash twrp and flash magisk.zip, this will overwrite the boot.img

Google really is a friend. All I had to do was install Magisk before booting to System.
Below are my exact steps, if that helps someone.
Preliminary:
Download Magisk 17.1 zip, place it on a USB flashdrive.
Install latest magiskmanager apk from Play store (or sideload it if not on the store)
1- In Fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img (If all goes well, this boots to TWRP; if prompted for a code, hit cancel)
2- Disconnect the cable.
Reboot to recovery once more (just to make sure, this is probably redundant; hit cancel if prompted for a code)
3- Mount USB-OTG, connect your flashdrive.
Install Magisk.
During the installation, you'll see some red fail lines, but Magisk seems to work around the encryption, just be patient.
4-Reboot System. You're done! Launch MagiskManager. Device is rooted in the process, too. (Verify with a root checker app).
Power Off. Hit Power + volume Up - You should boot to TWRP.

Hallo,
I installed lineage-19.1-20230606-UNOFFICIAL-dreamlte on my SM-G950F and the NikGapps-basic-arm64-11-20210501-signed with TRWP.
The installation was successfull.
Then I tried to install no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1.zip and Magisk with TWRP. It does end with error1.
Tried several ways to repair, but everything had failed.
Then I tried to root with that guidance:
https://www.rootmeguide.com/samsung-galaxy-s8-plus-rooting-guide-magisk/
Installed the magisk.apk
Installed Minimal+adb+fastboot+v1.4.3-stup on my PC.
I took the boot.img from the linage file.
Step 3: Flash Magisk patched boot image.
On the command line window, type the below command and hit Enter.
fastboot devices -> show no devices
Enter “adb devices”

Can someone help?
If you flashed a custom ROM, then your device is already patched and rooted, at least in TWRP.
So you only need to download latest magisk.apk, rename it to magisk.zip and install it with TWRP.
Then reboot to system and wait 3 minutes. If you can't open the magisk app, then again rename to magisk.apk and install it. After that, just follow the instructions from the magisk app.
Custom rom install SPD Upgrade Tool ....checked better...working any zip refresh file ...if install together root acces etc...logic ? if the custom rom isnt rooted etc...+ almost present devices no sd update = no need twrp refresh because its working from the stock service menu etc...nowhere device specific refresh file etc..
PS: your problem : custom rom isnt rooted and not working twrp root ..
