Magisk bricked the phone - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

Hello!
I’ve got very disappointing thing, I was using Magisk root for my Galaxy S10+. All was okay, then I came into my vacation, today I was dealing with YouTube and YouTube Vanced, trying to let YouTube vanced open from chrome youtube links, I did force stopped YouTube and disabled it.
Also I have installed MicroG for YouTube vanced and XDA Labs to check it out after.
I didn’t succeed in allowing YouTube vanced to open videos from chrome links. Then I decided to delete it via Titanium backup and started to install again from XDA LABS.
Suddenly my device rebooted and started an infinite bootloop to Download mode. Blue screen with “Downloading...Do not turn off target. Nothing helps, I can access recovery, but neither cache cleaning nor factory reset doesn’t help. I am so desperate that I got bricked phone at my vacation in foreign country. Please, someone can tell me what can I do to make alive my phone ?
Big thanks in advance!

installing a custom rom would fix your problem

@ExtremeGrief Should I patch AP file with Magisk manager for this or I can proceed without patching?

Flash stock rom then geiti94 twrp then nemesis disabler then nemesis kernel

Tip: Next time use the magisk module for vanced, micro g not needed with it. It will act as YouTube should with account, links etc.
Read the documentation on installing magisk with proceeding factory reset.
The title should be "I bricked my phone"..

If u see that blue message, just load the stock firmware bl, ap,cp and home csc into odin , it should work again. Yeah change the title to "i pull the usb cable out while i was flashing".

Snapchat no longer letting me sign in

I have a G935A. Snapchat was working fine, then i rooted and it was still working fine. When i installed xposed it stopped working. I read its a common problem with snapchat, so i uninstalled xposed and it still didnt work. I tried restoring the phone 3 times and nothing has worked. All it says is my login failed. I can sign into the account on an iPhone and i can make a new account on my S7, but i cant sign into my regular account. Any suggestions?
Did you remove xposed app or uninstall xposed ? You must flash xposed uninstaller via TWRP.
Happened to me once on a different phone after xposed was installed.
Two methods are:
1. Flash Xposed uninstalled with TWRP - login to snapchat, installed xposed frameworks again.
2. Have another rooted device (no xposed) - sign into snapchat, use Titanium backup to backup snapchat, Make sure u CLEAR the data for snapchat on that phone or delete the app, don't log out!, Use titanium backup on your root S7 Edge phone (with or withour xposed) and restore that file.
You should be automatically logged in.

Yes uninstalling the app directly from your phone just stops u from controlling xposed u have to Uninstall the framework with flashfire or TWRP.. If you have already tried that I had this same problem the other day.. I actually heard that snapchat is now checking for actual just root as well.. I Uninstalled root completely logged in then re rooted and re installed xposed. Sounds like a lot but it's worth it. Only takes 10 minutes.
if you have a backup like titanium backup of the snapchat app AFTER you've logged into it, i think you should be able to restore it without having to uninstall xposed..

I've tried flashing the uninstall package multiple times, the Xposed app says no framework is installed. I've also reflashed the stock firmware multiple times trying to fix this issue and NOTHING is working. I tried backing up snapchat on another rooted phone and restoring it on the s7 and that didn't work either. This is extremely frustrating

Did you clean up and fully unroot your phone? Root is now being checked for
FIX
ONLY FOR THOSE WITH SUPERSU ROOT
Facedthe same problem today mate this is how i did it and just takes you couple of minutes
just temporaily unroot your phone with your SuperSU app if it still does'nt work. if you uninstalled xposed.
you will see that you are gonna be able to snapchat right the moment you are unrooted.
login
grab yourself a flashable zip of supersu to re-root your phone and flash it with TWRP
you should be logged in and have you root
make sure to get titanium backup right away if you didnt have it already and BACKUP your snapchat app + data.
saves you from doing this all over again if you ever should be logged out of snapchat.
for the new roms with magisk v7
i cant figure out how to do since since we cant en/disable our root anymore (correct me if am wrong cause i dont know how to do it with the new magisk manager )
automagisk wont do the trick so i dont know
hit thanks if this helped you.

you have supersu or magisk root?
if you updated form supersu to magisk without wiping data this could be you problem..
go to twrp ---> wipe ----> Format data
type yes
log in with your unrooted phone
re root phone
get yourself a backup of the app with titanium backup
please let me know if this worked for you
Hello,
I've got a question about snapchat.
I'm sorry if im posting this in the wrong place, im new here!
I want to use snapchat 9.3.1.0 so i can use snapprefs.
I'm rooted and have xposed framework installed.
I am currently logged in in the newest snapchat version.
I made a backup of my snapchat with TB, deleted the new version of snapchat, installed snapchat 9.3.1.0, opened titanium backup and restored 'DATA ONLY'.
When i open snapchat, the app says: There are no snaps, and it says i've got no friends (which makes me sad). Any idea how i can fix this?
Thank you!

Hi mate,
I wanna do what you did, as in full unroot then login then re-root. I just wanted to ask do I need to have any custom recovery software installed before doing this? I rooted my phone with ODIN. I DONT have XPOSED installed contrary to what EVERYONE in this forum keeps saying that i only have to uninsall xposed lol.
I have a rooted s5 too so could I potentially login on snapchat on that then create a titanium backup of the app+data then transfer across to me s7edge? That is how I initially remained logged in on snapchat when switching from the s5 to the s7 edge.
Please help! everyone else is just being vague!!

You could just fully unroot within the supersu app re login and then use Odin to re root. .. Or use your s5 to log in and back it up and transfer to your s7.. But you'd have to unroot your s5 if you did it thst way.

Thanks mate. I did it the s5 way and created a back up to restore on s7 edge device. Could have just done it the s7 unroot reroot. Would have been easier lol. Thank you.

I'm not sure it's been a while since I had a s5 lol but I did a Google search xposed on s5 and it was the first link.. I'd paste the link but the xda app won't let me for some reason.

I love casper for that function exactly, you can watch peoples stories (stalk) without them knowing. The root session used to keep me logged in on both but I think SC have found a way to detect root use of a third part app which is a shame. Not sure if anyone knows how to mask casper from SC at all on here?

I never thought about that. But yes casper was nice for that. And if I could mask it I would again use it.

PlayStore error (963) on several ROMs [HELP]

Hello,
I bought a brand new S7 Edge yesterday and today I decided to install a custom ROM because of samsung's bull****.
Downloaded a few and flashed them, but every rom had a problem on PlayStore that I wasn't able to download any apps from it.
The error was number 963 and I did everything I could to fix (deleting playstore cache, removing the sd card, rebooting and so...)
Does someone know how to fix it?
All ROMs I downloaded were Android Nougat, so I'm downloading a Marshmallow one right now, hoping I can fix it.
Thanks in advance guys!

I had a similar issue with that, it would not even open. I downloaded play store apk, Google + apk, and Google play services apk or whatever it's called. Installed the 3 apk's and voila, working again...

Thanks for the answer dude.
I tried doing that, but without success. Now when I download an app it says "Download Pending" and does nothing.
I'm flashing a Marshmallow ROM right now and will report my results.
Nope. Tried editing the hosts file also, but nothing happened. I'm really pissed off.
EDIT: I got it working (don't ask me how). Apps download fine from Play Store now. The only problem I have right now is that I can't login to Snapchat.
I tried to install Xposed and use that "Root Cloak" but when I flashed Xposed my S7 entered a bootloop.
Can someone please help me?
No one?
Try those steps:
1.Run psiphon app with hole tunnle device
2.Go Settings-application-google play store
Clear all data & force stop it.
3.Run play store...hope it works

Rooting Galaxy s7 edge (SM-G935F) nougat causes black camera with crash.

Hi!
I rooted my galaxy s7 edge that had stock version of android 7 (nougat) on it using this tutorial: http://www.droidviews.com/install-twrp-root-galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-on-nougat-g935fxxu1dplt/. Now when I open built-in camera app it shows me a black screen for few seconds and then it says "Camera has stopped" and it offers me to "Open app again" and "send feedback" And it keeps happening over and over again.
Lemma: The reason is rooting.
Proof: Camera app worked perfectly. After I rooted my phone it started to crash like I described above. Then I tried to force quit camera app and delete it's cache/data. It did not help. After that I wiped entire cache partition. Still no help. After that I wiped all partitions except system. That did not work either. Then I re-flashed unmodified original stock ROM. Then camera worked perfectly again. Then again I rooted my phone the using tutorial I linked above. And again exactly the same issue. Camera app show black screen for few seconds and then crashes with exact same error message. ∎
Does anyone know fix for that? And why it happens? Is it some kind of samsung's anti-root thing that prevent camera fromworking on rooted phones or what?
Update [SOLUTION]:
In case someone else has same problem.
My solution was to skip restarts in TWRP steps. No restart between format and installing packages. Restart once when everything in TWRP part is done.
Root doesn't break your camera
I just Rooted my G935F that had Nougat as official firmware and had zero problems with the camera.

I have done nothing else than rooting. I have not added any custom mods or anything. For me it starts working again every time I flash original stock rom and shows that black screen and gives error every time I root it.
I downloaded original firmware from here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935F/ (I chose baltic (only 1 occurrence in the table))
Maybe that specific tutorial I linked is bad one? Could anyone check that?
Rooted my G935F and no problems here for me.
I suggest you follow the tutorial here on xda and try again.
Could you post link to tutorial please? Then I could be sure I used the same tutorial as you did.
PS! Now I also noticed that with rooting I lost auto brightness adjusting and also manually changing brightness didnt do anything. Right now I am back on un-rooted rom because I need camera functionality to work. But would love to get it rooted. Is there any info on cf-auto-root and android 7 yet?

A simple search here you'll find all you need. You are the only person I've ever read of that had camera problems like you've stated after Root. Again rooting won't break your camera.
I've Odin to stock literally hundreds of times testing Rom/Mods/themes as a tester for several teams from my s3 up to and including my G935F.
I've also flashed every Rom available for the G935F and the only ones with camera problems are the Lineage or AOSP Roms which more than likely are kernel related. Start here https://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81

How can you be so sure if you didnt even answer these? Just because it worked for you doesnt mean it works for all. Looks like you dont even try to read what I write. You just read the title of topic and then jump to comment with out even reading the content of post itself...
I have done nothing else than rooting. I have not added any custom mods or anything. For me it starts working again every time I flash original stock rom and shows that black screen and gives error every time I root it.
Also, posting some specific link rather than general starting point would help to guarantee that I use right tutorial for rooting. From these links you posted I didnt find any specific tutorial. I did search and dig these links, but I didnt find any specific tutorials. All I found was some tools and some roms. But cf-auto-root works for android 6 but I have 7 on my phone so I cant use that and I did not find any rooting tutorials on this forums.
Edit: I have also tried this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...overy-official-twrp-hero2lte-3-0-0-0-t3334084 . The same issue. The camera stops working after that.

Ok here is what you need to do.
Download a logcat app and get a logcat of it forceclosing.
I can't magically look in your device and see what, if anything is wrong.
As far as you saying you've searched well if you really did you would've found several tutorials.
How do I know?? Because I've used them myself.
It took me less than 5 minutes to root my new G935F using the TWRP Guide here on XDA
You seem to be the only one in hundreds that's claiming root broke your camera.
Provide a logcat in the Q&A and maybe a dev can help you.

Same issue on smg935w8 lost camera and screen brightness. Also can't mount micro sd... we're you able to fix? I thought it was a bad root then I re flashed and the issue came back...twrp 3.1.0 supersu 2.79 and no verity 5.1
---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------
im re flashing stock and tomorrow ill redo twrp and super su and skip dm verity patch think that might be the issue as it worked before for me last week and i then messed up by turning dev mode off and disabling oem and when i reflashed after that i have been flashing the dm verity patch....
give that a try if your still having issues
had similar issue, my camera app keeps crashing, i went to settings, applications then cleared cache after stopping it, i hope that will fix your camera too

Thanks I've tried clearing cache for everything no luck. I originally thought it was because I might have deleted a system app with titanium but when I reflashed it all (firmware,tarp,supersu,no small verity disable 5.1) I still had the issue.
Lastnight I wiped and flashed the entire firmware. Everything works. Tonight I'm goi g to try and only flash twrp then supersu as I only want root. Hopefully that fixes my issues.
OP have your issues been resolved?
I'll let you know once I get it working on mine and we'll get you sorted out. I believe it's something with the steps or order as I had root fine for a day then had to reflash due to messing around and didn't do it my original way and that caused my issues.
flashed twrp 3.1.0 from odin with auto reboot off.
then booted to twrp. swiped right to mount system,
wipe data(format data) type yes.
mount microsd as mtp copy supersu 2.79 over if its not already on you microsd card.
else just install it from zip
cleared cache/delvik
rebooted to system
log in and setup everything and restore
camera and auto brightness...stilll doesnt work.
ok so after multiple tries to fix this (flash stock) everything works,, root and it breaks tried clearing all cache in system and twrp no difference... then i loaded phone info and used the secret codes to find out that my camera firmware is not installed....so im trying Flashfire to reflash the AP only while injecting supersu and maintaining root.... it is just booting up.....and OMG!!!!it works!!!!
so....for some reason...firmware was corrupting..... no clue why tired multiple methods and nothing... and im not a noob either.....
what finallllllllly worked was.... flash your rom and get root how you would normally. camera/auto brightness/and mounting usb doesnt work....boot to twrp. get your ap md5 file on your internal storage
reboot to system,. get flashfire from playstore or chainfires website
install and then click the + select firmware and select the tar file
only install system....uncheck boot and cp
then in the everroot select injject supersu, preserve recovery
and flash.... it will start flshing and boot to syteem once done..
everything is working nice
finalllyyyy!!!!
hope this can atleast help OP
no clue why i was losing firmware on the flashes
@unit68 Tnx for sharing. This time I got camera and brightness adjustment work out of box. But if in any point of time I happen to need your tutorial, I'll give it a try and let you know.
I am not sure if it is by chance or not but what I did differently this time was:
1) I paid attention to step where it asked to disable auto reboot (can anyone explain why?)
Previously I thought it shouldnt matter so I kept auto reboot for convenience.
2) I did format data, install no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.0 and SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815 and wipe dalvik cache with out rebooting between (Anyone know if that matters?).
Previously I had done it: format - reboot - install no enc - wipe dalvik cache- reboot - install super su - wipe dalvik cache - reboot .
Now I did it format - intall no enc - install super su - wipe dalvik cache - reboot.
I'll see for few days if anything else comes up or if camera breaks down again. Btw @unit68 what happens when you try some bloatware remover that run with root access? Do you get rid of bloatware or not? I tried few of them such as no bloat for example. Some complain that uninstall failed some seem to uninstall the app but when they reload app the app is still there and it's also still in app menu. Just curious if you have the same same issue. And is it safe to delete apk file manually? Or would it cause phone to crash/boot loop? When I ran supersu it complained about knox and asked me to disable it but it never managed to (however root checker tells me I am root). Maybe knox is protecting bloatware? Any ideas?
Flash your able too get it working! It was soooo frustrating. So for Knox supersu asks to disable then seems to hang so I go about my business reopen supersu it'll ask again and then is successful.
To remove bloat I normally just go to titanium and remove the ones I don't want
No issues on that and all my apps that require root work fine (titanium,adaway, flashfire)
This time disabling knox worked too... It turned out that all 3 apps that I used were note able to remove bloatware. App you named worked and also ROM toolbox lite works.
Btw when I google bloatware, the lists are incomplete.... Do you happen to know list of apps that must not be uninstalled? I guess white list would be better idea than black list.
Is installing/uninstalling app same as removing/adding apk files? So that I could cut and paste everything expect file manager and launcher to usb memory stick and then start adding required apps back one by one?
ive seen some samsung debloating software around. i honestly just remove stuff based on manually debloating for last fewyears. if i dont know what theapp is for i google it to see if its ok to remove. normally i remove samsung knox, few other samsung apps, some google apps (music, games, videio), briefings some edge panels, live wallpaper, and carrier branding apps(for me rogers) stuff like that. if you are going to i recommend you do a backup first as it ccan mess up your phone if you uninstall an important app. . also once your do uninstall you need to reboot ... the paid version of titanium allows you to freeze applications so you can try that first before removing it.
I had the exact same issues: camera crashing, blue light filter not working, brightness not working, etc. It was supersu. You need the right version of supersu, it's 2.79 SR0. It's checksum is f4ecbf5814215bf569ff3324fc1c91f5

Interesting..ill check that if I need to to Flash. I have 2.79 but maybe I grabbed an old version or a beta. Mine says 20161205 I think it may have been sr3
Edit _ just checked I grabbed sr0 the stable release from 20161215 not the sr3 beta
Maybe it was corrupt when I flashed

[HELP] i think i've encountered a new bug.

hello, i have a new problem found few days ago and been trying to fix it but to no avail.
here is how it started.
i tried to install an app called fsecure vpn network from google play. then the phone when into a bootloop. then i did a clean wipe (reset, wipe cache and dalvik from recovery) but somehow my files were not gone. that is some kinda miracle i have no idea how it happened.
since then my phone have issue whenever i installed mihome:
-. google play services, trebuchet, package installer, and some other has stopped.
-. cannot open apps list in settings when mihome is present. the settings just stopped and crashed.
-. if i try to open the mihome, the phone goes reboot.
-. even uninstalling mihome from application list is not working, the package installer stopped. have to uninstall from google play.
-. i tried to make a bluetooth printer app, but when i put the app-debug.apk into my phone. file manager would crash whenever it tried to read the file. even by just scrolling down. example: file manager work fine if the file is not copied inside (meaning we can scroll around and not crash). but once the file is copied in then the file manager will work if we dont scroll down to find the file, but when we scrolled down to find the file then the app crash.
things i've tried:
-. clean wipe then reflashing rom and gapps.
-. manually update google play store, download google package installer and reinstall it.
-. tried to download google play services apk but was unable to install it.
-. tried the idea of clearing cache of google play service but still no luck (force stop was disabled anyway so i cant try that)
i have no idea how this all happen just because i tried to install that fsecure app. its not even fully installed yet. it was just starting to install after download then this hell happened.
im desperate for some help as i've tried for 3 days in fixing it but to no luck. any helps would be very appreciated.
thanks and regards,
hendry

Hello,
Did you try to reinstall Stock ROM ?
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-grand2/SM-G7102/
It happened to me that sometimes, apps or rom just run into a bug and maybe it corrupt the firmware but after a Stock ROM flash (via Odin) + custom recovery (via Odin) to wipe Cache + Data, everything was fix.
Hai, could u possible post me a tutorial on how to do those thing via odin? Coz i usually only do it via cwm. Thanks

Did you try to flash a recovery only ?
Maybe your firmware/system is not corrupted and then you could just reflash a clean rom ?
In Odin, Select AP and load your recovery.tar
I am having the very same issue. The difference is that it's happening with Spotify, Xposed and Relay for Reddit. So yeah it's been much worse for me. I will try to flash stock rom + reinstall another recovery and see if it fixes. By the way, I got a couple of questions:
1 - Does the country that I select when downloading the stock ROM matters?
2 - Which Recovery can you guys recommend? There's a bunch here but not sure if all them are worthy
Okay so I flashed an Indian stock ROM (I'm not indian nor live in the country), then I wiped all data, so I could boot. This is the default procedure to revert back to a Stock ROM.
After that, I noticed the Wifi wasn't working, probably due to the Stock rom I've downloaded. Anyway, I installed a custom Recovery (even an updated version of what I used before, then I reinstalled Ressurection Remix, and tried again.
....It didn't work. Relay for Reddit crashes everything, Spotify puts my phone into a bootloot. Same with Xposed. I have no idea what to do anymore. Someone, please help. I really can't afford to buy another phone right now and I really need those apps. Expecially Spotify.

Okay, so I guess there won't be any need for that. I've redownloaded the stock ROM, but this time, I checked my phone Serial Number so I could download the right stock ROM for my phone. Now everything seems to be working again. Spotify and Relay installed without any issue. I will now try to reflash recovery and then another ROM and see if the problem persists.
For those who don't know how to check your Serial number, it's right above your android version, at the "About phone" section on Settings.
I still need advice on which Recovery I should use.
Anyway, thank you guys. I probably would't be able to solve this without your help.
UPDATE: I've installed TWRP 3.1.0.0, and also rooted the phone using it. Still on stock ROM. Everything seems to be still working without problems. I think I'll stick with it for now. Maybe later I'll try to lash a Custom ROM and see if it still works.

Hi,
I'm glad you fixed you're problem. Sticking on Stock ROM is the best thing you can do if you need your phone as every functionnality is checked and working.
I personnaly use TWRP as recovery, its good you got usb, root and everything you need to backup/restore your phone + reset your phone.

Cannot open SIM & Network settings / com.android.phone crashes after uptdate to OO10

Cannot open SIM & Network settings / com.android.phone crashes after uptdate to OO10
Device:
Rooted OP 6t, OxygenOS 10.3, stock recovery, Magisk 20.2, Magisk Manager 7.5.0
What did I do:
I updated from the last OxygenOS 9 Version to OxygenOS 10.3 by uninstalling magisk, restoring images and doing the manual update through the downloaded full image. Reinstall magisk. It all went well. First boot took a while but went through.
SIM was not recognised at all.
I've reset all network settings and cleared cache and data of com.android.phone.PhoneApp.
Found out here that its due to a call record magisk module which I uninstalled. Mobile data is working just fine since then.
I tried to uninstall magisk and reinstall it before rebooting in order to keep the possibility to keep root as I do not have twrp installed. (suggested here). I guess this is unrelated.
Issue:
I cannot access the SIM & Network Settings. When I try, the app com.android.phone crashes instantly.
Logs throw these warnings:
Code:
Unable to launch app com.android.phone/99901001 for broadcast Intent { act=android.telephony.action.CARRIER_CONFIG_CHANGED flg=0x15000010 (has extras) }: process is bad
Is there a way to check the carrier config or renew it?
Code:
Unable to launch app com.android.phone/99901001 for broadcast Intent { act=android.intent.action.SIM_STATE_CHANGED flg=0x5000010 (has extras) }: process is bad
Hows the SIM state changing?

I am not sure what to do. But I do want to avoid a full factory reset.
Thanks for your hints.
Alternatively is it possible to access the settings of this submenu through a different app or way?

Sounds like a bad flash, or you didn't factory reset. If you update from 9 to 10 without wiping data, **** can happen
True, I did not because I don't want to set up the whole phone afterwards.
Could it be a solution to flash the ROM again through the integrated update system? Or would I then need to install twrp? I haven't done this in ages
Have you got any magisk module active?

I uninstalled magisk for the update. Reinstalled it, forgot the call recording module. Removed that.
I still have systemless hosts, viper and YouTube vanced active.

I had some SIM problems at the beginning related to a magisk module but I can't remember which. And another problem with WiFi after OTA update using magisk OTA udapte method, so finaly I deleted Magisk completely and updated from TWRP
Just to get this straight:
I may in a first step boot a twrp image (just boot) dirty flash the latest stock image, flash magisk (or not and lose root for the moment which is no issue because I have an unlocked boot loader) and see if the issue is still present. If yes a clean wipe and install is in order?!
@hey_malik
dude when i upgraded from 9.0.17 to 10.3.0 occurred same issue...
Backup all your stuff and MSM your device.
Look for '[OP6T][LATEST 10.3.0] Collection of unbrick tools' thread,
posts #83 - #86 and see how i solved.
Good luck :fingers-crossed:

I don't really get what you mean. What's msm? Magisk? And what am I supposed to do? Remove magisk completely? I've read the posts 83-86 but it's a bit cryptic for me.

Sorry, sometimes I take certain things for granted.
By MSM I meant (incorrectly) the unbrick / downgrade package
posted on the first page of the thread I indicated to you.
If you have not solved that problem and want to try,
I recommend using the Android 10-based package.
Back up all your stuff, be sure you have installed the OP6T drivers on your PC.
All information is already described in the aforementioned thread
or in the link posted on the first page that reports to that of iaTa.
All the credits go to these fantastic guys.

I suggest you boot to Twrp, then flash the Twrp. Get inside twrp and flash these > OOS, Twrp, Magisk Then reboot again to twrp repeat > OOS, Twrp, Magisk. And for the last time reboot again to twrp and flash the Magisk.
You will be good to go. :good:
Is there any risk involved concerning the encryption?

As you already mentioned, you are in Android 10, and if you are using the correct Twrp. There won't be any.
Still it's always better to take a back up just in case if something goes wrong.
Stuck with the same issue. Did you manage to get it fixed somehow?
Actually the latest available oo update to 10.3.1 fixed it.

Lucky you. I got this issue when switching to 10.3.1 from 9. I tried flashing 10.3.1 once again. Didn't work.
You need to uninstall Magisk then factory reset, it will get rid of all Magisk modules ghost residues. Then flash Magisk again with fastboot twrp method. I had this and going back to factory state was the only fix. No need to flash again and again the rom it doesn't touch Magisk data in /data partition.

Just an update, this worked for me too. Thanks for posting that tip else I would have went ahead and reset the phone. You saved me a hell lot of trouble.
Additionally, I figured out a solution which might work for people still having this issue. I haven't tested this myself since I found this after my issue was solved.
The reason why the issue happened to us is because the system app "Phone Services" was missing, or not installed properly while dirty flashing. There is an alternative hidden activity for sim settings called "com.android.settings.network.telephony.MobileNetworkActivity", which is not a part of Phone Services app, but a part of the Settings app itself. This could be invoked using any activity launcher apps available in the Play Store.
Also, this activity gives more advanced sim settings too. So, probably worth a look if interested.
Same problem here, but fixed!!
Sim not working anymore after update to Magisk 21.2. nothing would change it.
After installing previous version (21.1) the problem persisted. After almost giving up, I found this thread. Simply uninstalled the OOS Native Call Enabbler module and everything workes like a charm again!!!
So it was an easy fix (once you know) and I am very thankful, because I would never have thougt of it! Unfortunately I cannot record Calls anymore, nor find the module now that I am successfully running on 21.2 again with working SIM. Though the choice between being able to use my SIM or record calls was easy
Hope someone finds use of this info.
As mentioned before Encryption is not a problem if the right TWRP version is used.
Put in you password (or pin) and all is nicely decrypted and reachable in TWRP Recovery.
Good luck to all!
PS: still hoping for a new (compatible) call recorder module though
