I'm a total noob at rooting. I tried rooting my Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 today and everything was going surprisingly well until I decided to reboot my device.
My device is now stuck at fastboot, this may have been caused because I updated Magisk.
I can access TWRP but don't know what to do with it. I don't care about my data, I just want my device to work again.
Could anyone suggest any solutions? Thank you in advance!
Did you try rebooting it fron twrp?. twrp >reboot>reboot into system.

Yeap, didn't work.
I just flashed the stock ROM using MiFlash and it worked fine.
Half a hour later, I messed up again and stuck at fastboot for a second time, so I flashed the stock ROM once again and it works like a charm now.
My second failure made me realize what the problem was (well, kind of).
So, the first time I got a bootloop, I thought that it was due to the fact that I had updated Magisk (I read some similar issues online, that's why I thought so).
But that's not the case because the second time, I installed the latest version of Magisk and the same thing happened.
So, the only action that could have caused the bootloop, which was performed both the first and the second time, is the removal of a system app using System App Remover.
I clearly removed something that I wasn't supposed to. It was one of those system apps but don't know exactly which one cause I removed all of them in bulk and then tried to reboot:
GetApps (com.xiaomi.mipicks)
Games (com.xiaomi.glgm)
Mi Credit (com.xiaomi.payment)
Thanks for helping, I hope my answer helps someone else.
My only problem now, is that I'm unable to install updates to the stock MIUI ROM, but that's fine, rooting the device was worth it anyway.
I faced the same problem today
Install twrp ,root and install system app remover
delete some apps i did not need it
when i reboot the phone stuck at fastboot
I reboot to twrp and do a factory reset, format data didnt help
Return again to recovery and unroot
The phone boot to system
I dont understand why this happened because i
remove the same apps before with xiaomi adb fasboot tools didnt face any problem

Sounds strange.
I thought it was the removal of specific apps, but could it be the System Apps Remover that causes the issue?
I wonder if using Titanium would make any difference but I'm not willing to risk it for a third time, I'm good now.
Test orangefox, maybe the older magisk 19.4 and the magisk module debloater.

Hello. I rooted my phone using this guide en.miui .com /thread-415853-1-1.html
Everything works good, but then I tried to move an app to system with Link2SD but it said "write error no space left on device" and system space was 100%. I moved some system apps to user apps to make space (Mi Cloud, Mail, Calendar) but the problem persisted so I decided to leave it alone and not do anything. I then proceed to unroot by uninstalling with Magisk Manager, reboot and it got stuck on Mi Logo. I even left it for several hours but nothing happened.
I found out that if I enter fastboot and then TWRP, I can flash Magisk again, reboot, and it is not stuck on MI Logo anymore, the system boots perfectly and all my files and apps are there same as before. But how can I unroot without getting stuck on MI Logo? Is there a problem with Magisk or something? What else can I try?
I'm thinking my best choice is to flash the Mi ROM again using TWRP, is that correct? Any help would be appreciated, I'm still learning about this.
Currently I have MIUI Global 8.5.5.0 Stable (MADMIED) and I just downloaded the zip file of that rom.
Ok I worked it out. I'm going to post my solution in case someone else has the same problem.
Since I was able to boot system normally if I flashed Magisk again, I did that, made a backup of my whatsapp chats and saved a backup of my files in MI Account.
Then I reboot TWRP recovery, wipe all (factory reset) and flash my ROM MIUI Global 8.5.5.0 Stable (MADMIED). Phone started, root was gone, restored my backup.
Then I reboot again TWRP, flash Magisk and Phh SU and everything else in the guide linked above. Installed Link2SD, deleted some system apps (Youtube, Google Play Movies and Music and some others), and then I was able to move the app I wanted to system.
Rebooted phone to system. Then uninstalled Magisk from Magisk Manager, reboot phone, and everything worked ok!
Thanks, im planning on flashing twrp and magisk, so this could become handy ?
Try flashing these, worked like a charm for me.

just remove the spaces and you are ready to go!
Found a better Solution!
If you are stuck on the MI logo after the unroot that's because of the verity check of the ROM. So if u could boot into the custom recovery(TWRP) then just simply flash the lazy flasher zip file and then you are good to go, the ROM will normally boot with all of your files and apps.
So I installed TWRP recovery using tuliptool and all that, but didn't bother with bootloader unlocking since it said it's not needed. So I tried to install Magisk using the instructions on their thread but after booting it asks me to reset my phone because the data got corrupted.
Luckily I had backed everything up beforehand, so I restored boot image and everything works fine again. Just wanted to know what I did wrong here. Did I miss any steps?

You probably didn't miss anything if it's the "Your device is corrupt. It can’t be trusted and may not work properly” error, I get the same thing. You messed with the files in the boot partition so ZTE's "safety" features in the stock ROM automatically call them corrupted. I simply hit the power button and continue to boot, my device works fine (actually much better than before being rooted with Magisk). I'm the one who "corrupted" the phone on purpose, so I'm comfortable it's fine. If you're getting another message, I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe try ADB sideloading Magisk in TWRP, it's what "worked" for me.

What do you mean by "hitting the power button and continue to boot"? When I hit the power button on the "Decryption unsuccessful" screen it just locks and unlocks like normal, but stays there.
Ok I managed to install Magisk after factory reset, but after that my sdcard is not being recognized anymore (but is recognizable in TWRP). So I decided to restore the backup i had, and rebooted. But now I'm stuck on the ZTE logo during boot. I can still open TWRP, though. I've tried wiping system, data, and cache, then restoring the backup, also no good. For now I'm downloading the stock firmware and will try that. Any ideas on how I can fix this before I flash the stock firmware?
EDIT: Ok I managed to fix it by installing the no verity boot image instead. Boots again. I'll probably refrain from trying to root for now. Thanks for the help.

Well, I wasn't much help, but it sounds like your overall problem was different than mine. My only advice is if you attempt to root with Magisk again, is to connect to your PC/Mac/etc with a cable, use the Advanced menu in TWRP, choose ADB sideload, and sideload Magisk from your PC/Mac/etc. You can find a more advanced explanations on various websites how to use ADB if you don't already know how. For some reason that worked for me and gave me full Magisk and phone functionality when nothing else did.

Will this allow me to install magisk without a factory reset?

I didn't have to, but I can't guarantee it will work for you. I had previously factory reset my phone but at the time I sideloaded Magisk I had been using the phone for at least a week. Just make a backup of everything first to be safe. *edit* I am using the beta version of Magisk (16.4), not sure if that's making a difference.

Had my new OP5 rooted and almost everything was right in the world, but i flew too close to the sun by uninstalling a few apps I thought were expendable and eventually Google Play Services started crashing. When all troubleshooting failed I ended up flashing a fresh copy of OxygenOS (5.1.7) to my device, but every attempt to re-root the device has failed.
The first obstacle I ran into was that there was no access to Internal Storage in TWRP, I was able to fix that by Wipe > Format Data and then using Advanced Wipe to clean Dalvik/Cache/System/Data for good measure.
My next issue was that TWRP returned Error 7 when attempting to flash the stock OOS rom... after some digging I was able to clean the 'asserts' line from the updater-script file and now the rom will flash.
The headache has been getting the device re-rooted, and I feel like I've tried everything. I have to flash the SuperSU or Magisk zip (both fail to root the device) before reboot because the dm-verity encrypts on first boot and after that I can't access any storage to flash from internal memory. The three different dm-verity patches I've found don't prevent it. I also tried 'fastboot oem disable_dm_verity' to try and stop it but after talking with the device fastboot returns 'unknown command'.
My final effort to get around it was to flash a kernel that didn't force dm-verity (blu_spark kernel) but that returns Error 1: 'Unsupported Android Version' when I attempt to flash it.
I've tried dozens of variations on this, including a Lineage OS rom instead and also trying to sideload certain zips, but still no dice. Any and all help would be appreciated.

Hi, this one is because of your TWRP. Please flash Codework's TWRP and try that with it. It should solve your issue for sure. (same thing happened to me while I tried installing custom roms and every time I needed to wipe everything to see my internal storage again)
This guide can help you out with Error 7 on TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522762
I do believe your this issue you're having caused by TWRP. Also after rooting the phone, install magisk app. (you don't need to install supersu, it comes with magisk). After rebooting into system reboot your phone again once more it should show up on magisk app that you've successfully rooted your phone. Remember after flashing magisk you need to reboot twice in order for phone to realize it. Please try the steps I told you and let me know.
Also you don't need to flash dm-verity patch at all.
Try clean flash instructions with Codework's TWRP and root it with latest Magisk.

I actually really like the Oreo version of OxygenOS, so when I had to resort to re-flashing to fix this mess I dug up one of the stock (5.1.7) roms, it served me well (assuming I can get it rooted, lol).
I'd be willing to move to Lineage if I absolutely have to, but if not, I'd really like to keep Oreo if at all possible.

For 5.1.7 try this twrp https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UlTftbe6wooAs4Fp0cjwXlOKmfQHgdfL/view?usp=drivesdk along with magisk 17.1.
Clean flash is recommended. If it didn't help, please list your steps again(detailed).
Don't use supersu and skip the other suggestions for now please.

Hi all
I experience kinda weird behaviour with my OP6T.
I wiped and upgraded to Android 10 a few days ago (10.3.1). I installed TWRP and immediatyl flashed Magisk using @mauronofrio all-in-one tool. I boot up, installed what I needed and all was going good.
By using the phone I noticed that in drawer there was 2 file manager app: one I think was from Google. So I downloaded an uninstaller and deleted it. After that I discovered that, without "File" (app name) I was unable to give folder access to Poweramp scan function (it was just saying the File app keep crashing).
I tried to install it again but nothing.
Now, the good stuff. Keep in mind root was working good. I also successfuly rebooted phone multiple time with no issues.
After I tried to install File app, I restarted my phone and, surprise, it keep stuck on bootloader warning screen for like 30 seconds and after it goes into recovery (TWRP).
I tried to flash recovery again together with Magisk but nothing. Same result (sometimes it wasn't even boot in TWRP but standard fastboot screen). In the end, I tried just flashing TWRP without Magisk and surprise: it booted. Without root of course.
I did some other tests, tried again (including trying to boot from slot B but that doesn't work and no decrypt message appear).
I don't understand what is going on.
What can I do further ? On Android 9 I experienced something like that but with a normal TWRP/Magisk flash it was returning all normal. It's strange because the advice from AIO says to flash TWRP and Magisk otherwise I brick the phone.
Recap:
Only TWRP installed on partiton A/B -> Phone boot with no root
TWRP (partion A/B) + Magisk (only partition A ?) -> Phone doesn't boot and go in recovery
Thanks
Maybe some modules? It's not a problem related to the tool, to the TWRP or Magisk, maybe you added some module that made the device crash at the start

Any way to see the installed modules from TWRP ? I also used Magisk Uninstaller but still nothing.
BTW, going to /data/adb/ I don't have any modules folder so I think nothing is installed.

Something or not, I think I will stick back to previous android version.
Just a question: why while flashing TWRP it says partion A/B are being patched while only A (or current boot) seems to correctly work (where by correctly work I mean asking for decrypt message is shown) ?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

The installer patch both slots regardless of everything
Hmm, I might have missed it but after you flashed trwp to your phone did you reboot back to recovery then install root.. just asking..
Well i was just flasing my new boot.img that was patched with magdisk dowloaded the correct version 11.0.4.4 - EU IN11BA -IN2023 package from oficial one plus sites after the flash evering worked kinda ok the device rebooted like 3 times it was already rooted before so magdisk was loading all modules i guess everything loaded ok after third reset i ve gone ahed tested it for some time then something happend i was all of sudden unable to launch any apps and the ones that launched crashed withni 10s well i said to myself i ve seen this before on my huawei p9 and what i did there to fix this was clearing dalvik cashe then reset (huawei was running RR from open kirin and android 8) on huawei the main cause for this was messing with the cahe with lucky patcher well it even has a clear dalvik cache funuction so i launched the app on one plus and cleared the dalvik cache and after restart i got into boot looping with no ending (well after that i went to internet to read that dalvik cache is not even a think) so i tried to flash back the stock boot well that didnt fix so if somebody could point me to how to restore the device with keeping the data it would be appreciated i tried some restores like flashing some system partitons and overall trying to flash stuff from this guide https://www.thecustomdroid.com/oneplus-8-pro-oxygenos-restoration-guide/ with the updated version 11.0.4.4 of the ota package well nothing really happed half of the partitions are renamed and i dindt find the names for them anywere so i gave up to find help here.
So yea just a simple reboot to fix the device isnt enough for me i always have to "fix" something diferently.
well i ve let the device boot loop for some time and well i got at least some error
Boot Reason : fs_mgr_mount_all
unable to parse kernel log. for more debug information.
adb pull /mnt/vendor/op2/rbr_log
or pull op2.img
So i maybeee destroyed the partitions i guess. (well my thinking is that the LP didnt find the partiton so it tried to format something that was similar to it maybe acros multiple partitons and did kinda nasty wipe.)
First try to boot into the device via safe mode.
If that works just reboot again then all your magisk modules will be disabled.. You absolutely should disable them all before you update/root.
I have a thread for this in the guides section.
If however the safe mode didn't work then you could boot (not flash) a patched boot.img, if it boots then you can go ahead and disable the magisk modules and then go to install and install directly within magisk to make root permanent.
Only if the above works should you attempt to turn any modules back on and only if they're rated to work on 4.4
I would recommend running the remove magisk modules adb command which can also be found in my guide, if the above doesn't work, instructions for running it in the thread.
If none of this works you could maybe go down the route of flashing partitions but personally I'd just MSM and bite the bullet.
Good luck

Well i would like to try booting it into safe mode but the pohone after i ve letted it to boot loop for like 10 mins desnt event try to boot again i changed nothing so i guess something got modified in the phone to prevent bootloops when i power it on it just reboots into recovery and it would be really nice if you could give me links to those guides i just cant find them thanks
