Magisk on Oreo - Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers

I can't seem to install Magisk 16.0 via TWRP 3.2 on the Oreo update. It installs, but enters a bootloop. Why is that?
Also TWRP said cannot mount /data. How to fix this?
"Failed to mount '/data' (No such process)"
Also cannot format data this way
EDIT: Installed Magisk 16.4, no change. Also just realized that internal storage is inaccessible.

I upgraded and got in a bootloop. Then I remembered I had Nougat substratum themes active. Only way I got it booting is by factory resetting it.
As for installing magisk with root access, you can try the TWRPless method. I got it working on mine. All you need is the stock boot image and a computer to use adb.
Steps on installing magisk on Oreo:
1. Put the boot image somewhere you can easily find it for later use
2. Install the latest magisk manager apk on your phone
3. Enter magisk manager and install magisk (root) using the "patch boot image" method.
4. Send the patched boot image to your computer
5. Now reboot into bootloader
6. Now on your computer install the patched boot image using fastboot flash boot "patched boot image"
7. Reboot and profit!
Hope this helped you out. Good luck

For anyone who tries the above method and has their fingerprint sensor stop working as I did, use a root file manager to remove the following directory/file:
/data/system/users/0/fpdata
/data/system/users/0/settings_fingerprint.xml
and reboot.
Certain modules required me to delete those files again, and some others broke the fingerprint functionality until they were removed and I rebooted twice. I hope someone can find a complete workaround soon.

Already tried. Bootloop also, probably since magisk manager used v 16.0 instead 16.4.
I noticed that 16.4 actually signed the boot image using test keys, as opposed to the 16.0 which didn't.
I'm a bit frustrated here man
EDIT: I have substratum but I don't have any of the themes active, so the first one is a go. Installing magisk however...

So, now you're stuck in a bootloop?
Also, yes I used version 16.0 (you can never go wrong with a stable release)

Technically, I'm not now, since I flashed the original boot.img
But yes, if I installed magisk either via the patched boot.img or TWRP, I get a bootloop
Actually idk if bootloop or nah since I can't access logcat via adb, but it's on the bootlogo for like 5 mins (regular start time is 30-ish sec)

That was the first thing I tried, in fact. I have to use magisk 16.4 as well or else the fingerprint reader refuses to work no matter what. You haven't run into this issue at all? What's your setup if I might ask, and did you patch the boot image from the oreo update zip to install magisk?

I just watched a video tutorial to root it and keep stock recovery. Another thing to take note of is that I upgraded to Oreo using TWRP instead of stock recovery (yes, I didn't think it was possible on this phone).
Once I upgraded to Oreo, it reverted back to stock recovery. As you read above, I got stuck in a bootloop because I had substratum themes active, but I fixed it by using the stock recovery to factory reset it. (It's also nice to factory reset after a major OS upgrade so that you don't encounter any problems with old files)
If anyone's interested in a video, here's the one I watched:
Note: always make backups of your personal data!!!

So you did a factory reset and magisk is working properly? I can boot twrp without installing, but still no go using that method. Yes, I also used TWRP to install oreo, I didn't think it was possible either, but it finished flawlessly. Except the magisk thingy.
Can you mount /data in TWRP after oreo?

To answer your first question: yes, I did the basic setups, restored my apps and then installed magisk the way I explained above.
Secondly, did you try installing the latest TWRP? Because I didn't want to install TWRP until I have the stock recovery and TWRP with the latest Oreo kernels.
I saw this morning that shakalaca uploaded TWRP with the latest kernel, so I boot it through fastboot and saw that by default the following partitions were mounted: /recovery, /data, /cache. I tried /system to see if it works and it does.
I hope this answers your question and good luck!

Also tried live-booting TWRP and installing magisk (leaving stock recovery), left the boot.img unpatched
Installed the latest TWRP, the /data and internal got mounted, but after flashing magisk, bootloop again (still bootlogo after 10 minutes) even after wiping dalvik.
Cache is unwipeable somehow, is this an issue?

Yes, actually I just did update via TWRP, it installs flawlessly. HOWEVER, it only applies to the Oreo ROM, not the N or M ROMs. N and M needs stock recovery (the boot.img contains recovery too)

I was able to reflash the update via twrp by modifying the update script a bit (spat out errors about the twrp recovery having a more recent build date than the update zip) Everything seems so far so good! I haven't had issues with my fingerprint yet.

Simply flash the full ROM.zip manually in recovery, typically 1.4GB.
That means not installing the incremental mini zips. And not installing from the settings menu.
It's up to you whether you want to wipe data or cache.

Thanks for putting this together you made my night!
Thanks, I have unlocked bootloader, Installed TWRP, and Super Su.
one question though, when after setting my account going for nandroid backup there I found SYSTEM as well SYSTEM IMAGE.
what is difference between them, What thing should I backup.
Also there is showing your system is Unmounted, so when I should have to mount it.
Thanks to all Once again.
Hello guys, thanks for the guide!
I was wondering if anyone has faced the same problem as me - while trying to root the Oneplus 3T I constantly get a bootloop after flashing SuperSU. The latest TWRP (3.0.4.0) is installed without any problems in fastboot, the system is mounted as r/w, and I don't see any problems during flashing SuperSU package...
I've tried it before and after OOS 4.0.2, I've tried old and new, stable and beta versions of SuperSU, but either way the phone is stuck on bootscreen after flashing.
P. S. If I flash the official ROM after that - it boots up instantly without any errors... And with no root :/
I'm having the same problem

Try this SuperSU
I heard only SuperSU SR3 works
Just tried both versions (2.79 and the SR3 beta) - unfortunately, the same bootloop happens.

Magisk Question, about updating the Rom.

Hello there, I was told that to update the rom to the latest os. I am suppose to uninstall magisk, with restore image option. Doing this I am suppose to be able to install the rom and reinstall magisk. Yet when I click on restore image it says my stock backup does not exist. Is there a workaround to get this to work so I can install the latest OTA?
Thanks
Looking all over for a solution to this as well. Hopefully somebody gets back to you!

Do you have stock boot.img u can flash?
If you flashed a magisk patched boot.img then you won't have a backup.
If you flashed magisk through twrp then it must have been deleted. If so just flash magisk and after boot try the restore option.

You probably didn't install root with magisk, so you don't have a backup img.
Install OTA then root again using fastboot to boot temporary on TWRP then flash magisk zip installer. This way you'll have the backup boot.img created for next time

That's what I ended up doing as well. Except I just decided to keep TWRP.
In case anyone doesn't know how to do this..
Booting temporarily into TWRP:
Enter fastboot on your phone
Open command prompt on PC
Type in fastboot boot twrpname.img
That boots you into TWRP. Then flash the OTA.zip, then optionally flash TWRP.zip to keep TWRP on your recovery you have to reboot to to recovery once. Then you can flash the magisk.zip and this will create a stock backup image.
But you can skip flashing TWRP.zip and just do ota.zip then flash magisk.zip, this will still create your stock backup images but not keep TWRP as your recovery.

No, the fastboot boot command didn't boot to anywhere. I got stuck on LG Logo.
And how am I supposed to flash OTA.zip from TWRP (provided you give me an answer to the problem above)? Is the OTA.zip on any location I can browse with TWRP?
All I want to do is to OTA from v20b to v20c on my rooted device, without losing data and reinstalling everything. So I don't mind needing to re-root, and I don't mind installing TWRP if needed, but hell, this should be easier, it's less than 180Mb update!!!!!
I have magisk but no backup image, and I don't have TWRP, and never succeeded installing it, not even temporarily. I do have access to what should be the stock and magisk images from a Google Drive fellow, but I don't know what to flash, when, how, etc. All tutorials I've googled are useless, and the ones here in xda assumes many things that are NOT obvious to me.

Phone booting back to TWRP

Hi everyone,
I'm rooted. I flashed the Beta 3 rom and TWRP. Then, I rebooted into TWRP and flashed Magisk v18. Now, my phone spins on the boot animation screen for about a minute, then reboots into TWRP. Any ideas what I should do? I've tried wiping cache, but still the same issues.

Same happened to me a few days ago and had to reflash full rom. PC still recognized device so I placed os on root of device and flashed. Unfortunately it wiped the device but at least it worked.

The stock boot.img file is extracted from OOS and the patched boot.img is after you patch it via Magisk.

Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
Use this if you're on OOS 9.0.5/9.0.6/9.0.7, but if you are on a higher OOS then you need to grab your stock boot.img for 9.0.10 from here and 9.0.11 from here, and patch it yourself using the instructions below.
Connect your phone to your PC using the OnePlus Cable
Reboot to Bootloader using "adb reboot bootloader" on PC while your phone is in TWRP
Rename stock boot .img file to boot.img on PC
Use "fastboot boot boot.img" on PC while your phone is in Fastboot Mode / Bootloader
Follow this guide once you are done with the above steps to root your phone with Magisk and actually boot.
I am in the same situation.
1) Got the phone. Unlocked with out-of-the-box firmware. Put TWRP on it, Magisk. All worked like a dream.
2) Time passed, I tried to play Fortnite a bit, which kicked me out due to root. Had to use Magisk Canary. Still, NO issues, all superb!
3) New firmware. The December one. Kept postponing it, but after like 2 weeks, I was like, meh, why not. Big mistake.
From this point on, I cannot root no matter what I try. As soon as I flash Magisk, it will keep booting back to TWRP.
I have even tried to grab the Canary ZIP to flash. Nothing. Tried flashing back the full base update file from OnePlus, then root. Nothing.
It's like an endless loop.
To be fair, I only use root / magisk because I need call recording. Sadly, it's been killed in Android 9, but OnePlus has a hidden feature for this. Unfortunately you have to use either ADB on each boot, or use Magisk to enable it and save you time, hassle.
Anyone has any idea, shoot.
This is a 100% unbranded, OnePlus-store-bought 8GB/128GB 6T model.
Ps.: IF you ever get stuck in this loop - you can boot your phone by using the original "boot.img".

To boot it, simply:
1) Enter Bootloader where you can use fastboot (NOT TWRP!).
2) Use `fastboot boot boot.img`
3) Your phone now will boot up.

I am in the same situation.
1) Got the phone. Unlocked with out-of-the-box firmware. Put TWRP on it, Magisk. All worked like a dream.
2) Time passed, I tried to play Fortnite a bit, which kicked me out due to root. Had to use Magisk Canary. Still, NO issues, all superb!
3) New firmware. The December one. Kept postponing it, but after like 2 weeks, I was like, meh, why not. Big mistake.
From this point on, I cannot root no matter what I try. As soon as I flash Magisk, it will keep booting back to TWRP.
I have even tried to grab the Canary ZIP to flash. Nothing. Tried flashing back the full base update file from OnePlus, then root. Nothing.
It's like an endless loop.
To be fair, I only use root / magisk because I need call recording. Sadly, it's been killed in Android 9, but OnePlus has a hidden feature for this. Unfortunately you have to use either ADB on each boot, or use Magisk to enable it and save you time, hassle.

Plug your phone into your PC
Use this command in TWRP's Terminal and type this:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=boot.img
Copy it from your phone to your PC (in the directory your command prompt is in) and use the command:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
TWRP doesn't work
Hi there,
Just like you I have installed twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6 TWRP recovery on my phone to flash custom ROM (as recommneded by this ROMs list), however, it doesn't work. Like, no matter whether you I to flash unofficial or official custom ROM, it says that 'Something isn't right'. I think there's some problem within this recovery. Hoping for good.

Flash the CORRECT one, for the OnePlus 6T. Not for the OnePlus 6.

How to install Root and TWRP (Unofficial) in Android 10 for the OnePlus 6T

I've been stressing all day to fix my 6T. I wiped my phone countless of times and every time I flash TWRP and magisk after, I lose WIFI. I don't know how to fix this, it never happened before. I tried resetting it in settings, nothing happened. I really need WIFI as my data is literally finished. This was after I clean installed 10.3.0. I literally have nothing in my phone and my data is backed up thankfully.
I have found a fix for this. If you have updated to 10.3.0 or new update or going to. Install it via download or local upgrade. and follow this method. Once I followed this method, my WIFI was fixed.

3. Still in Magisk Manager, Install (next to "Magisk is up to date") > Install > Install to inactive slot
4. Reboot
As an update: This method worked when I updated from 10.3.0 to 10.3.1. Everything was working fine.
There is an issue I have found. This method will make your system to boot into slot b, it still works as normal.
But if it bothers you that its slot b and not a, just redo the method again. It worked for me
Hey, thanks for crediting my post. I didn't know this would help with anyone's WiFi issue but I'm glad it did.

Yeah, I literally been trying for hours to find a solution online to no provail. Luckily I found your post and I used it as a last resort. I was about to give up at that point. Your method is quite good actually, I can install a new android 10 update, TWRP and magisk at the same time. and reboot with everything there. No more repeated reboots for TWRP and magisk
Same problem
Could not turn my wifi on, couldnt place calls, snap pictures, set alarm. Im so glad i found this post, because it did help me and I didnt lose any data. I was already rooted.

Yeah, I honestly haven't found any posts about this. I just used the method as a last resort, I was honestly planning to give up and move to IOS ?.
Installing the 10.3.0 again via local upgrade will just remove TWRP and magisk, but if you follow the method you'll get TWRP and Magisk installed with WIFI working . I thought that using the old method from Nougat, Oreo to Pie would work with Q/10. Nope, now we have found a way to have root with verything working

Ok, I didn't know that. But I don't use custom kernels tbh, I like to keep my device close to stock. I just have root, magisk modules, swift black stuff, TWRP, rooted apps which just improve the device and that's fine for me. I'm glad that it worked for you

You can flash TWRP zip in modules. You press on modules, click on the plus button, find your TWRP zip file and press it. Then magisk will flash the zip, but don't reboot

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261677893
Hello everyone. I'm back. I'm gonna install 10.3.1 on my 6T. I'll try the method and let you guys know
@Extreme_Ninja2099 - How did you get on?
Cam we go straight from a rooted 9.0.17 to rooted 10.3.1 using the above mentioned method?

Its at the start of the thread. The method worked from 10.3.0 to 10.3.1. But my slot changed to B. I changed it back to A by re-doing the method again. Everything is fine with 10.3.1.

After the update, i flashed the patched boot.img using fastboot command. Assuming no modules are conflicting you should have a rooted device. The one module that created a problem for me was OOS NATIVE CALL RECORDING. Disabling it solved any issue.

How did u root on 11.0.8.8?
Do I have to repeat the process of downloading stock ROM, using payload dumper to get boot.img, patching it on magisk and flashing on fastboot?

What if i just uninstall magisk(unroot), download and install the update, download only the boot.img then patch and get root?
I am trying to avoid downloading whole stock rom because of the boot.img when i can just download it alone.

We only need the boot.img(correct one) to proceed with root no need to download the entire stock rom.
Where are you guys getting 11.0.8.8IN11AA? Full zip?
Nothing on Oxygen updater for me yet.
Hey guys, so I've installed the new OTA, then went to magisk, installed magisk to inactive slot, rebooted and now the only thing happening is boot logo spinning....
what to expect? ofc, i didn't do a backup beforehand...

Things like this makes me so cautious and ask so many questions. Hope you didnt soft brick your device?
Okay it worked out somehow, i was looking for a stock boot.img, and was gonna flash that to try and save it, but had trouble with my pc recognizing my oneplus in fastboot mode, so i pressed both vol up/down and power at the same time to while being connected with usb cable, to try and get into fastboot, then screen went black but my PC got some pop ups for recognizing a device with unavailable drivers, then i just press vol up and power after a minute of it being black, phone rebooted and it loaded past the booting animation into android... weird stuff worked out, even after a dozen reboots with hardware keys, even letting it spin the animation for an hour...
I'm never updating again ahahhah
edit: if you do update, make sure you disable all your magisk/xposed addons and some native os call recording module... thats what i learned while googling yesterday, and its something i did not do, that could of have possibly contributed to my headaches
What i ended up doing that worked was;
. Flash stock 11.0.7.7 boot.img to slot A & B to unroot the phone.
. Reboot and install the ota update. I had no magisk modules to uninstall.
. After updating i downloaded the stock boot.img for 11.0.8.8 then patched and flashed to get rooted again.
Its a longer process but quite safer for me.
It's the same on each firmware, providing you have the full update available to you.
Use oxygen updater and grab the full update, download and install but don't Reboot.
Open Magisk send install after OTA.
Then reboot.
If you're unable to grab the full update then probably best to update then boot lineage recovery and sideload Magisk.zip using lineage recovery, then flash and you're done.
Could someone post boot img I can't find this 11.8.8 to download.
Thanks.

Same here please, cant find the 11.0.8.8.IN11AA anywhere.
If 8.8AA is in oxygen updater (full update)
Then make your own, using someone else's comes with inherent issues and risks.
It's good practice to make your own.
