Hello, I've done this update on my OP8Pro and forget to use the magisk app to keep my root so I've lost root. I'd like to root it again but i dont have the boot.img patched with magisk to do it; could you guys help me ?
thanks you
It's already been shared in the usual thread.
Thanks you. Its rooted again
Out of curiosity, why bothering with a patched boot image while flashing the Magisk zip works?
For future reference, if you have TWRP or other functional custom recoveries - all you do is flash magisk.zip and you will have temporary root. Afterwards, go into magisk.apk app in your OS and click direct installation for permanent root.

I have been using TWRP+SuperSU on my HTC 10 (sprint). However, I am not happy not being able to use Android Pay due to root. I searched and found a MAGISK root can do the trick.. I searched and was surprise to find not much of info on this variant.
I only found this: [ROOT] Magisk AutoRoot: Magisk + phh's SuperUser for Nougat (No TWRP required). But that's for the Unlocked version:
Prebuilt Boot Images:
US Unlocked: US_Unlocked_2.28.617.8_boot.zip
I assume I cannot use above boot image for Sprint variant. My question is, where to get this prebuilt boot image for Sprint?
I am on Android 7.0 (2.42.651.6).
Thanks!!

Thank you. I am following the guide you provided..
"If you're not rooted, or something went wrong and you need a clean start
(Recommended) Restore your boot image back to stock
Download the latest Magisk zip file
If you choose to use SuperSU (only support Android 6.0+), first flash SuperSU in systemless mode
Flash Magisk zip
Reboot, and update the stub Magisk Manager to the latest from Play Store
"
Can you please let me know how to Flash Magik zip? I am on Stock Android 7.0 by RUU. Custom Recovery (TWRP) is gone... Downloading to download mode does not have an option to install zip.... Install Magisk Manger gives me this.. Still requires boot image? Thanks.

Try my post from the Bad Boyz ROM thread. I'm pretty sure that covers it all. If you're already RUU'd you can skip that part, but you will need to unlock your bootloader if you haven't already. I think that factory resets the phone. There's another thread on how to do that via HTCDev that should be stickied, but the process is easy.

Edit: I see you're already in the process on the other thread. Good luck!

There were 2 boxes that could be checked did you check either of them? I checked both and was going to try without checking them but also figured they would update the rom soon and it would be in there. t/u
Hello I'm on 6.0.1 Bad Boyz and I flash this but it doesnt root my phone, I used un-su.zip beforehand
Edit nevermind I RUU'd to Android 7.0 and flashed Bad Boyz Magisk!!!
So as we all know magisk does not root nonrooted or supersu rooted devices (atleast not my devices) so here is simple method to gain MagiskSU Root access and possibly hide your root.
Note: i will use phh's superuser which was used in magisk before.
COMPATIBILITY:
ANDROID 7.x -- Not confirmed
ANDROID 6.0.1 -- Confirmedly working!
1) DOWNLOAD PHH'S SUPERUSER https://superuser.phh.me/
2) BOOT INTO RECOVERY AND FLASH DOWNLOADED ROOT ZIP AND MAGISK IF NOT FLASHED ALREADY
3) REBOOT AND ENJOY

MagiskSU works just fine without flashing anything else for me

Ok so this is not the correct procedure for getting Magisk to work, this is exactly how it's done in my case at least.
1. Flash a rom of your choice ( in my case it was viper rom on the HTC 10, rooted with SuperSU, I have an international unlocked device with S-Off)
2. Extract the boot.img from your ROM ( in my case it was in the root of the rom's zip file)
3. Copy the boot.img to your Fastboot folder on your computer.
4. Install Magisk Manager and download Magisk 12.0 zip to your phone.
5. Reboot to download mode and then: fastboot flash boot boot.img allow it to flash, press power to come out.
6. Without rebooting, boot to recovery and flash the Magisk 12.0 zip.
7. Reboot and check the 3 sections to see if MagiskSU has been locked in, no warning should come up when activating Magisk hide.
Done.

Of course you lost root and TWRP because a update.zip contains also recovery and other things(vendor, custom, etc.) and by flashing it the stock recovery will overwrite your TWRP and the new system will delete your root access.
And NEVER install KingRoot on this device! It will mess a lot of things(SuperSU and Magisk work)
You will need to flash TWRP again in order to have root because both supersu and magisk need to be flashed through TWRP(because they are .zip files, at least a part of the root, you will need to install the magisk app to have full root)
SuperSU root just needs to be flashed, just magisk needs an app to be installed after .zip flash.

Hi guys,
I have gone thru the forum to install Magisk systemless root in S7 Edge running 8.0 but have few questions.
1. Is TWRP mandatory to install Magisk for systemless root?
2. If above point is yes, then will the device be eligible for OTA even with TWRP recovery?
3. Please provide steps to install Magisk systemless root in S7 Edge running 8.0 latest October patch
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your time and response. There is something called systemless root which will hide the root from the system and also allows official OTA updates.

From what I know, when you download an OTA and prompt your device to install it, your Android system performs a series of checksums to ensure that your /system, /boot, /recovery, and /vendor (or /OEM) partitions are unmodified from their original stock configuration.
The benefit of Magisk is that it does not modify the system partition, but while installing Magisk, the first thing it does is patch boot image. So you might have to restore the original boot image for the OTA to work.
Also, the OTA is designed to be installed via the stock recovery which has been overwritten with TWRP. So, I think u will face a problem there too.
I'm not saying that it's impossible to get an OTA update. It just might not be as easy as u r used to.

Got your point. Thank you. I read that Magisk can be installed without root or even custom recovery.
The below is taken from the official Magisk thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
How to download or extract the stock boot image file from my official ROM?
"Via Magisk Manager:
This method does not need root, and also does not require a custom recovery.
However, you MUST have a stock boot image dump beforehand, and you also have to be able to flash the patched boot image, either through fastboot/download mode or ODIN
Install the latest Magisk Manager
If you're planning to flash the patched boot image through ODIN, go to Settings > Update Settings > Patched Boot Output Format, and select .img.tar. For normal users leave it as the default .img
Press Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File, and select your stock boot image file
Magisk Manager will now patch your boot image, and store it in [Internal Storage]/Download/patched_boot.img[.tar]
Copy the patched boot image to your PC. If you can't find it via MTP, you can pull the file with ADB:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/patched_boot.img[.tar]
Flash the patched boot image to your device and reboot. Here is the command if using fastboot:
fastboot flash boot /path/to/patched_boot.img"
Hey lads, i wanted to update to oos 11 and keep magisk root, I saw a video tutorial on how to do that but on a previous oos update.
By installing the update without rebooting and installing magisk on inactive slot after OTA.
This sadly didn't work for me so now I am stuck without root access on oos 11.
Do I need to reflash magisk boot.img again or could there be another way to enable it?
Flashing boot.img will delete all my data and apps and I would really hate installing all that again one by one manually...
Any tips on what I can do?
Thanks.

1. It didn't work, because you took the wrong magisk version. Latest canary or beta works great with A11. I did it myself without issues.
2. There is only one way to get root. Patch the boot.img and flash it.
3. And no, flashing boot.img won't delete anything!

Ohhh.. Thanks! I just realized that it wasnt boot.img that would delete my files as you said, and have now updated to oos 11 with magisk and safeteynet passed. Thanks.
I have a guide for this in the guides section..step by step.
For others with the same question and find this thread instead of the guide: Switch to beta update channel in magisk -> download and install OTA without rebooting -> magisk flash to inactive slot -> reboot & enjoy
Like I said, I have a guide for this.
