[Q] Updated to Oxygen 9.0.11 - Phone Shuts Down Immediately After Boot - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

I updated to 9.0.11 today, reflashing TWRP and Magisk 18.
Upon reboot, I get a vague semblance of the screen where I enter my PIN, then IMMEDIATELY the notification "Power Off - Shutting Down."
I have reinstalled the update, can still boot into TWRP.
The only time I have had a similar experience was when I screwed things up playing with substratum. I finally gave up trying to master that, and today I removed the substratum program from my phone.. Thinking this might be the problem, I tried the Rescue Tool for Substratum but it made no difference.
What steps do I need to take to get the phone to boot into the operating system, instead of just shutting down.
Thanks so much for any insights and assistance.

Flash magisk in twrp

Flashing Magisk in TWRP will not fix the issue i believe, I tried it, it happened to me to when I moved to v9.0.11. You have to uninstall Magisk using the Magisk uninstaller first, reboot TWRP then flash TWRP again.

I would flash the nandroid you created before you began altering everything. You did make a back up nandroid with TWRP right?

I did indeed make a Nandroid backup on Sunday, and I am transferring it to the phone right now. I hope it works, it is my first attempt to restore a backup with the new TWRP on the 6T.

With every upgrade I follow this procedure:
1) boot to TWRP
2) flash the update (full update, no partial update)
3) flash TWRP again
4) flash magisk again
5) reboot to system
6) If magisk fails, reboot to twrp again en flash magisk again. Then it's all ok

Simple solution:
Remove all existing magisk modules in recovery by using "Magisk Manager for recovery" (search for it on XDA). This works 100%.
1. Download the latest version of the tool
2. Flash it though TWRP.
3. Go to Advanced > Terminal and enter "mm"
4. Choose "uninstall" (u)
5. It will print out your current modules. Continue to enter the name of the first and press enter for 2 times to confirm removal.
6. Do this for every module, also remove the module "mm" itself as last one
6. Reboot and install your modules.
I had this issue for several times and this fixed it effectively.

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one this has happened to. I wish I knew exactly what I did wrong, but I really followed the rules regarding uninstalling Magisk, doing the OTA, going back to Magisk and installing again, and selecting the right option as to where it should be installed. Regardless, I am going to follow this right now and hopefully return my 6T (which is an AWESOME phone, IMHO) to service.

So I successfully restored my TWRP backup from Sunday. "Successful" in the sense that it was restored with no errors, but now the phone will not boot, I get the "Your device is corrupt" warning. When I push the power button to continue, it reboots to the same screen.
Suggestions for how to proceed from this point?

the next time the issue occurs you should really just delete your modules from TWRP to fix it. Much easier.
From that point... Have you made another TWRP backup after you installed the update? If so please restore and continue to remove your modules as described in my last post
If not it could turn out tricky... Which partitions did the backup contain? All?

Backup contained all partitions.
So I followed the procedure you outlined for removing the modules, and the phone booted! It still gives me the red warning that my device is corrupt, but does in fact boot. Thank you so much for the help. You guys are amazing.

The sure fire way to get rid of that device corrupt screen is the MSM Download Tool and then starting over. It's drastic, I know, but WILL work.
EDIT: Should add, that tool locks your bootloader, so you'll have to unlock it again, much like it was when you took your 6t out of the box.

Same thing happened here but I'm on magisk no twrp and it only happened after reenabling the BusyBox ndk module.
Did the usual method, disabled all modules, uninstall, ota, etc. Worked fine til I reenabled that one module, then it began powering off like OP described.
Factory reset from stock recovery did the trick and root somehow still stuck afterwards. Titanium backup is quite the lifesaver, still a pain setting everything up but at least it didn't brick.

Can you remove the modules from the Substratum app itself before applying the update from TWRP? (instead of removing modules from recovery)

Well this has nothing to do with substratum app? I guess you mean the Magisk app.
Of course, the best and safest way to install an update is to delete modules and overlays before updating. If you do so, you will not see the issue described in this thread (which is caused by modules and not overlays btw).
In my case, I like to update with my modules and overlays still enabled. If the update works without any problems - great, and if the issue occurs I just delete the modules from TWRP.
You just gotta know where to look if anything goes wrong. And I'm that lazy type

Thx, but I am on stock recovery. This would only work in twrp if I read the thread I found correctly right?

I think the best solution is to use the 6T MsmDownloadTool v4.0 .
I think you will use everything but at least the phone will work again.

This was totally bugging me too but after a whole day of trying I've finally managed it.
1) Go to this thread here
2) Boot into fastboot and flash the boot.img and system.img as suggested in the thread
3) Also flash the original recovery using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
4) Go to the official asus support site here and download the update files you need, the last two
5) Download Version V11.41.87.2 and place the file in the internal storage of your sd card, once you pull the cable out your phone the phone should detect a update file and ask if you want to install it. Click OK.
6) The phone will unpack the update and reboot and install it
7) Delete this update file and then add the latest Nougat update file (Version V20.31.49.2)
8) Do the same again and install it and there you have it... the key is that you have to install each incremental update rather than go straight to the latest.
Oh and I don't know if it makes any difference, but I decided to turn off adb debugging once I'd flashed the various boot, system and recovery images before I started to update using the Asus method.
Also I have successfully re-flashed TWRP through fastboot on Nougat.
Hope this helps.
worked for me perfectly

Thanks for the instructions; worked for me. Were you able to re-root? I tried to by following this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/zenfone/comments/6gqha5/zenfone_3_ze553kl_z01hd_root/
But on step 8 of the supersu website, my phone gets stuck on "starting adb sideload feature." I had already tried installing supersu via twrp, but still no root.

I flashed TWRP from one of the other threads on here filename twrp-3.1.0-0-Z01H-20170408.img to be precise.
I then flashed the latest version of magisk the zip found here
Then selecting core files only and magisk hide options I have root that passes the latest safetynet checks. No problem.

This worked for me, thanks. It's too bad Xposed doesn't support Nougat yet. Missing my Xposed modules.

Magisk has a few modules for it but nothing like Xposed.
I'm going to do a full back up and then see how well ZenUI plays with Substratum as most of the ZenUI Themes are pretty poor and I want an all black theme. I'll let people know how it goes if anyone is interested in using substratum.

Oh, if you're having trouble getting TWRP to stick don't reboot the system but reboot back into Recovery, by holding the Vol - & Power together and using the Volume buttons to select Recovery.
After this you can then reboot normally.

Foolproof way for OTA-update with Magisk installed

Now that a new OTA is available, and like many others like myself have rooted the A1 with Magisk, I am looking for a foolproof way to update.
Remembering the last (March) OTA, when a lot of people complained about difficult, I wonder if someone has found a good way.
I remember 2 approaches:
1) follow the flow from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md#ota-installation-tips
or
2) uninstall Magisk completely, maybe even re-lock the phone, and start from the beginning as outlined here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-mi-a1-oreo-8-0-disabling-ota-magisk-t3728654
What is your experience or recommendation?

Hey!
Following the official Magisk procedure works, at least for me.
You just have to be careful to restore backup image before starting the OTA download and installing to second slot (After OTA) before rebooting.
Reading this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-mi-a1-oreo-8-0-disabling-ota-magisk-t3728654
I found there’s a lot of confusion (I was confused also and made a few mistakes), but my conclusions are:
- That method is to be used just ONCE in order to gain root, and not every month.
- Always try to use your own patched image if you have the opportunity
- You have to use “fastboot BOOT” and not “fastboot FLASH” when first rooting, otherwise you won’t be able to restore boot image and OTA will fail
- Follow official procedure as a cooking recipe
If you don’t want to root using a patched boot image, you can also use latest TWRP (As of now latest is recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-1-0-touch-recovery-t3688472
And boot to TWRP image in order to install Magisk ZIP (did this yesterday and also worked), but the update via OTA method should be the same.
Best regards.
Personally I just did this:
1) Uninstall magisk (remember to save modules you want to save etc.)
2) Reflash stock boot.img (march update) via fastboot (in the correct booting partition)
3) Relock bootloader
4) Update
5) Unlock bootloader
5) Booting in new april patched_boot.img
6) install Magisk.
official magisk method didn't work for me
Keeping phone to stock and not rooting for only one OTA in more than a month? I think its not worth it!!
I always root my phone and when OTA arrives i just flash twrp version of it and root it again ?

Just wondering "2) Reflash stock boot.img (march update) via fastboot (in the correct booting partition) " should be identical to "Restore Images" in Magisk Uninstall
I think updating can be done without "locking bootloader " and "un-locking bootloader"
What do you think?
I'm following the very simple Magisk OTA update guide and I have been able to update system via OTA for several months already. No rocket science there, as long as you don't mess with system partition (e.g. do NOT allow system modification in TWRP), you are good to go. I even used it successfully with custom kernel (Franco kernel)..

Backup Magisk Modules
Switch on Secured Booting (e.g. Pin) => not same a normal pin!
Open Magisk
Uninstall Magisk​
Restore Images​
Start OTA update

Step2​
Go Back to Magisk
Install to 2nd slot​

It was working ... very easy!
I can confirm that topjohnwu's official ota tips do work with the Mi A1, but you must have secure booting enabled.
I didn't update my phone for a very long time, then I decided to finally go for the latest MIUI on my Mi Max and basically I flashed full new ROM via fastboot & MiPhone.
You can see detailed description here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78050983&postcount=41
I think it should work with other Xiaomi phones too but please correct me if I'm wrong
The only difference is that I had SuperSu before, but maybe with Magisk it's the same to do - also correct me if i'm wrong

THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY.
Advantages:
-100% working. Absolutely no problem with unrooting.
-secure booting doesn't have to be enabled.
Disadvantages:
-Installed modules will be lost. I don't know how to back them up.

---------------------HOW TO UPDATE-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you will receive the update the only thing you need to do is boot twrp, flash magisk unistaller (that you can find here ) and update.
1. type this to boot your recovery (REMEMBER TO COPY THE RECOVERY IMG INTO THE FASTBOOT FOLDER)
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img
2. flash magisk unistaller from recovey
3. Update your system
4. Repeat the same procedure to root again your device.

Yeah, but you need a PC for this. If I need access to a PC every time there's an OTA update, might as well download and flash a full ROM. ?
Official Magisk OTA guide works anytime anywhere, no PC needed.

[GUIDE] 2 Minutes Magisk installation, Best Method +OTA

Hey hey hey !!! I'm back for a new method, for flash Magisk without patched_boot.img or select current-slot etc, just by do 2 things. And it works for all phone version, Sable, Beta.... ( We use TWRP temporarily, so after the process, TWRP is gone)
Credits :
Me for the idea.
@Frustrated Indian the tester.
@TingyiChen for this nice TWRP.
Code:
Your warranty is now void.
We are not responsible for bricked devices, bootloop... Please
do some research if you have any concerns about features
included in this GUIDE before using it! YOU are choosing to
make these modifications.
Of course first you must have the drivers installed on your pc. And an unlocked bootloader + unlock critical partition, if it is not, follow this procedure :
1. Installing drivers & Preparing PC
- Download this and extract it
- Open and install "adb-setup-1.4.3.exe"
- When it is done, go to "Drivers" folder and start "miflash_unlock.exe"
- Click on the gear icon top right corner and click on "Check" next to "Click the button to install the drive"
- Do as the installer says
- Hopefully the drivers has been installed so we're done with it, let's head on the next step.
2. Preparing phone for unlocking
- On your phone navigate to Settings->System->About phone and tap the build number until you see "You are developer"
- Go back once and you'll see a new menu called "Developer options"
- Tap on it and search an option called "OEM Unlocking", enable it
- We're done here. Let's keep going
3. Entering fastboot and unlocking bootloader (MAKE A BACKUP of your data!)
- Hold your power button down, tap on restart and hold your volume DOWN button while it resets until you see the Mi bunny doing its thing
- Now we're in Fastboot mode, hooray
- Download this zip and extract it on your PC
- Open it and type "cmd" (without the quotations) in the file manager header where you see (This computer>somethingsomething>Mi A2 fastboot), don't be afraid just type it in, and hit enter and you'll enter into command prompt
- Now we are ready for action
- Type these commands one by one:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
- And follow phone on screen steps to validate unlock bootloader...
After this, you will see a warning message that your bootloader is unlocked and your data is not safe, blah blah... Just ignore it everytime you power on your phone.
Downloads :
- TWRP here
- Magisk Latest Beta / Stable (if you prefer) zip
- Magisk Uninstaller zip
Steps :
- Download TWRP
- Copy it to your pc adb folder
- Rename it to twrp.img
- Download Magisk Installer
- Download Magisk Uninstall
- Place these 2 folders on your phone storage
- Reboot phone to fastboot
- Open fastboot command prompt on your pc
- Type "fastboot boot twrp.img" without quotes
- Your phone will boot twrp
- Decrypt data with your pin if needed
- Click install and select the Magisk Installer zip, swipe to confirm
- Wait for the process
- Reboot
That's it !! You now have root on your phone, and TWRP is gone.
If you have issues you can uninstall Magisk with the Uninstaller zip.
For OTA just uninstall Magisk using Magisk Manager, by flash the stock boot.img to your current-slot, or using the zip and flash it like the Magisk Installer.
Check my other thread, Part 3 : OTA for more informations.

I always thought this method was all we needed to do even with the A/B thing... Is this a custom magisk zip?
After installing the October ota: installing magisk caused a boot loop. Switch to this kernel and install magisk again and everything should work.

nope, this is just the latest Zip. i can explain you how my method work. when you fastboot boot TWRP.img , the TWRP will automatically boot on your current slot. and when you flash the magisk zip it will automatically flash the zip on your current slot, ( for exemple if your current slot is b, in the past you should flash magisk_b, but no TWRP will automatically temp boot on slot b, so mgisk will automatically be installed on b. and that's it. ).

This happened to me. Even with flashing back the original kernel I could not boot. Flashing the alternate kernel solved my issue and it's much smoother than stock. Not advertising but it seems that the dtb is changed in some way by patching with magisk and an alternate kernel bypasses that issue to allow booting. In my opinion.

flash stock kernel has no sense. that's why it doesn't work. if you have issue you should just flash boot.img or flash magisk uninstaller in twrp like magisk zip. sometime hex kernel cause some issues . for me with all version tested, with help of the maintainer @draco I'm not able to boot fine. I have a green glitchy screen etc, and after some boot my device screen stuck on black screen.
works fine, thank you!

TWRP for P580 running Oreo?

Is anyone able to run TWRP on P580 running Oreo?
Im having problems with my Tab stuck on a black screen instead of recovery mode.
Please help.
Thanks!!
I found a solution if you don't need TWRP, only Magisk or Root. (Using sm-p580 german version P580KXU1CRJ7)
Short Version:
Install Magisk without TWRP with odin in AP section(google it)
Problem is: Once booted up it will tell you that you have to reset your device because the system recognizes that you modified something.
Solution: Just click on the reset button( Magisk will still be there afterwards).
Long Version
Flash the Oreo firmware onto your device.
Set it up (turn on USB debugging) (or dont, I believe you dont need it for download mode ?)
Unzip the AP part of the firmware you have flashed. You may need a modified version of 7-zip, I needed it, because it couldn't unzip lz4.
Google mcmilk 7 zip and download the github release (I hope I'm allowed to reference it, CREDIT goes to MILKY)
You need the boot.img.
Now install Magisk Manager apk.
Under its settings check " .img.tar" under "return of patched boot-images" (Something like that, mine is german)
Click on install in Magisk Manager apk.
Select make thing with boot img, use the boot.img you have extracted and copied onto your phone.
Magisk will create new patched boot img automatically, copy the finished one u find under your main storage in downloads to your pc.
Go into download mode and flash new boot.img with odin using the AP tab.
Now do the things I described in the Short Version
Afterwards install Magisk Manager Apk.
You need internet connection, because it will prompt you to allow installing additional stuff.
A message from some Security App will appear, that something is wrong.
And your device will get laggy and restart.
After that the lag will disapear
I like to use Bk disabler to remove bloatware/ other stuff to flash or back up your device
(Please dont remove any of the 3 phone apks, on Nougat it worked to remove two of them, but oreo will continuously give an error message <- I found out that you can uninstall two of them, but dont uninstall the storagedial-programm thats what gives the errormessage.)
Hope it will help you!
Worked !!!
Thank you dear. Its worked for mine in p585 oreo android....
Anyone can search mcmilk 7zip in google and download program to extract boot.img.lz4 and get boot.img :good:
use the last TWRP for Oreo.
old version makes black screen or red stripes.
go in download-mode (power+home+vol-) and install the last TWRP over with Odin.
for Oreo use the last Odin 3.13
it tested, i had the same problem :fingers-crossed:
Latest twrp dose not worked on my device but this solution work fine
I can confirm that this method does work. I used it on my SM-P580 yesterday. I would suggest that you first backup your all of your apps, contacts, photos, etc using SmartSwitch. You will need to restore everything after the tablet tells you that it needs to be reset because it wipes everything. After the restore, you will need to enter all of your accounts and passwords again but at least all of the data will be back.

Is that one compatible with P580?

this works great! thanks!
2 side notes on the process:
1. Magisk no longer provides " .img.tar" patched files, so a tool like "Tar-tool" is required to convert the file from the ".img" type. The patched file should be renamed "boot.img" before conversion in order to be succesfully flashed by Odin.
2. like f4vr said, freeze the apps that give the error notification or just disable the specific notification. Hiding them in Magisk Hider does not seem to work
Cheers, and thanks again for the guide!
Hello Gyus,
I managed to root the device with the method posted by @amosdinh (Thank you so much). Now I'm trying to configure adoptable storage. So far I didn't achieve this goal. ADB commands doesn't work and I can't install the ASPlugin.zip needed by Root Essentials to set adoptable storage by the app.
TWRP for P585 is corrupted, gives blue/red lines screen. The dev that maintains the code is absent since march. I'm out of luck on this. If anyone have a idea to get adoptable storage on this device while using Oreo, please comment.
Thanks!

Just renaming magisk_patched.img to boot.img and adding to .tar file by 7zip worked for me.
We should ask a dev to update twrp for android 8.1

Really wish this wasn't the case. I'd actually keep this thing if it had a working TWRP.
On my SM-P580 I used Odin and TWRP I don't get the black screen but when I reboot to get into TWRP recovery mode it shows the padlock and says swipe to unlock. Tried many times bit cannot swipe and cannot get past this. All I want is to be able to use the SD card as internal storage. HELP???? Thanks!!

where can i find stock firmware?
I've just installed magisk using TWRP via command line. P580
I've just installed magisk using TWRP via command line.
Read the entire post before trying this yourself.
I installed the latest TWRP, the one that bugs and doesn't display anything, this allows to root without wiping data. I'm running the latest korean firmware for P580.
Just do this:
1. Launch TWRP and INMEDIATELY LOCK YOUR SCREEN. (I got ghost stripes that disappeared after 2 days when testing this, work with low light so you can notice your screen whenever it tuens on) Please don't forget this point, don't [temporarily] damage your screen as I did.
2. adb push Magisk-v[Current version].zip external_sd
3. adb shell
4. twrp install external_sd/Magisk-v[Current version].zip
After this you just need to install MagiskManager-v[Current version].apk and you will be all done.
But there is one thing...
If you ever get into recovery mode, there is no way out without using adb as far as I know. You can launch download mode and cancel it but you'll boot back to TWRP.
When in twrp touching your screen or any button will wake the device up and will start burning the ghost image to your screen.
So if you know of a method for rebooting to system without using adb, please let me know.
Also a solution for this would be to flash back the stock recovery, wich may or may not force to wipe system, that something that needs to be tested tho.
Update: Ok so, you can use a handy tool called MTKroot on recovery.img.lz4 to get recovery.img, then use 7z to pack it into a tar file and flash that tar file with odin (AP, same as TWRP)
This way you will not have a 0.001% chance of random boot into recovery mode and damage your screen

I keep loosing root after reboot, Pls help.

Hey guys,
first time posting here so i dont kow how to style the text, so sorry about that.
last time i rooted a phone was on my sony xperia sp , where all i had to do was to go to towelroot .com and click to root.
I tryed to root my OP6T yesterday, after some setbacks i managed to sucessfully do it.
I did it like this:
1. Downloaded full ROM of OOS 10.3.2,
2. copied the payload to a program called payload dumper that extracted the boot image.
3. Copied the boot image to the phone
4. opened Magisk manager and selected install from source where i chose the boot.img
5. it created a copy called magisk_patched.img
6. booted in fastboot
7. on my pc used the command prompt to "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img"
booted normally and i had root.
but then problem appeared
#Problem 1
everytime i rebooted my phone i would loose root and it would say Magisk not installed. To get it back i would need to perform step 7 again and it was not ideal to do that everytime i turned off my phone.
#Problem 2
While tryng to solve problem 1 i read that i needed to open magisk manager and "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)."
After doing that it rebooted but now it wont boot at all, even if i try to "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img" the cmd gives me error:
fastboot boot magisk_patched.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.838s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.845s
now my phone is just sitting there i dont want to reset it again. it would be the 4th time that i need to set up my phone in 2 days, so im trying to see if there are alternatives.
If reset is really the only way, i read that with root you can make a full backup of your phone and then restore it. How to do that? can i do it in the situation im in?
How can i root my OP6T running OOS10.3.2, and keep it? Whats the right method bc the one i followed seemed flawed.
I also tried one that had TWRP but maybe i did something wrong bc it didnt work., also there is no official one working for 10.3.2.
What is happening is normal with those instructions (they aren't right).
All you need to do is install TWRP. Do not use the official one, it is out of date. Use TWRP from this thread Link here. The TWRP from that thread is from the official maintainer. It works fine with OOS 10.
- You need to get the phone in fully working order again. Which may mean you need to use the fastboot ROM, as you've probably "goofed" something up at this point. (no offense meant). Make sure your phone boots and such after this.
- For OOS 10 with the phone in fastboot, fastboot boot recoveryimgfilename.img (<-- For OOS 10 you will need TWRP 3.3.1-32 Q Unofficial by mauronofrio from the thread I linked to above) This will boot to TWRP.
- Now run TWRP 3.3.1-32 Unofficial Installer by mauronofrio this will install TWRP. The installer is the same for Android 9 and 10, doesn't matter.
- Once the installer runs, click back, choose reboot to recovery. If you boot to the system, you have to start over. Reboot to recovery!
- Install Magisk 20.3 <-- The current version. The official download page. After that you can reboot to the system. You should now have a rooted, phone with Magisk, and TWRP installed.
Any questions ask.

So getting it straight, i need to first reset my phone and then do the steps you described.
Can i backup the data first with TWRP to restore it later and avoid setting up everything again?

Supposedly. I've never used that function of TWRP. Some people have luck with, some people restore things that shouldn't be restored and end up having to wipe the phone again. Personally I just use TitaniumBackup like I always have. I would search for information on that in the TWRP thread if you want to try method. I don't know enough on that to provide solid information.

Hey man,
Thank you so much. It worked and i stay rooted even after reboot.
May i ask how you use the Titanium Backup, i think back in the days all i used it for was uninstalling system apps. Or if you know some nice guides. If you know other good things to checkout now that i have root i would appreciate it, i have been far away from rooting for too long.
Once again thank you so much

I use it to back up app and app data primarily. It allows me to restore data to apps after a clean install. Since I have the Pro version it's just a batch action (one click essentially). There is also a way to create a flashable .zip you can use in TWRP, although I haven't tried that method, as I'm typically not restoring apps, just data. I also use it remove apps from time to time.

Hey man, im sorry i am once again in need.
Idk why but at first i can reboot the system normally without issues. but after a while once i set up everything it just doesnt boot anymore. Am i missing something? do i have to do anything with magisk? download a module or something?
Could it be that google security update is the fault?

When you installed everything originally did you fix everything with a clean install? Both slots are the same version of Android? (Like you don't have something weird going on like Android 9 on one and Android 10 on another?)
You definitely have something abnormal going on. There shouldn't be anything in Magisk that you have to do, at least not to prevent crashing. I normally hide it, but that has to do with keeping apps from detecting root.

I got it to boot by uninstalling magisk,
I am 100% sure i dont have two different version of android in different slots, bc yesterday i was in big trouble and nothing was working and i flashed on both slots the same version of android 10(dont remember exactly wich one as i tried a couple, but they were the same).
Today when i couldnt boot anymore i went into stock recovery, factory reset -> when it booted i placed the stockOS.zip file in the phone and applied update from local file -> after that i factory reset again from the system settings, so i think the phone should have installed it properly.
Only after that i did what you told me and installed TWRP and Magisk. and as i said it worked and i could restart my device etc..
After a while when i restarted i couldnt boot anymore and went to bootloader. Removing Magisk fixed it,apperantly on install magisk creates a copy of the boot.img that it restores on uninstall, and i booted to system.
Now i can use my phone but dont have root.
Im very thankful for you being there and helping me out trough this, i cant thank you enough

Not sure if you're still having this issue but I'll post the solution just in case anyone gets stumped, does a google search, and comes across this post. You were using the wrong command.
"fastboot boot" just lets you boot with the img so you can verify that root works.
"fastboot FLASH boot" will flash it and root will stick after reboot.
No need to jump through hoops with TWRP and such.
