A little background first, I have had my galaxy (sm-g975F exynos) rooted for some time now with magisk. I wanted to update the firmware, reroot and install TWRP in the process. Took me a few hours and only one mistake but at the end I was successful. This was 2 days ago and Ive been working on customizing ever since.
Now onto the problem, I noticed the camera app didn't work any more when I boot into magisk mode. When I boot in standard mode the camera works fine. I tried force quitting, rebooting, reverting to original settings, etc... and no change. I started reinstalling system apps I removed with debloat thinking I may have removed a system app that had an effect but again no change. I read somewhere that clearing/wiping cache may help so I booted into TWRP, went into advanced wipe and only wiped "cache". Now when I reboot into standard mode the phone works fine, but if I boot into magisk mode I cant get past the lock screen. Basically magisk mode boots fine but when I enter my pin it just goes back to lock screen. So I rebooted into standard mode and made it so there was no lock screen(no pin, no fingerprints, etc...) then I tried rebooting in magisk mode to see if this will get me past the lock screen and now it just bootloops in magisk mode only.
So my first problem is getting my phone back into magisk mode, my second problem is the camera. is there a safe way to reflash with TWRP or am I going to have to redo the whole process with odin?
Thank you in advance for any help, I have searched online but haven't found anyone that has had issues wiping cache with TWRP
update, tried downloading magisk zip from magisk manager, rebooted into TWRP and tried installing the zip, no change. wiped dalvik cache for kicks, no change.
update #2, also tried uninstalling or disabling root privilege apps such as novalauncher, liveboot and buttonmapper but I was only able to do this in non-magisk mode, again no change.
Update #... what # am I on?
So I started fresh, reinstalled stock firmware, reinstalled magisk and reinstalled TWRP. Phone is working fine except for the fact the camera doesnt work in magisk mode. I am now 100% positive this is due to magisk or TWRP. I will try and install another camera app to see if it works, but would still like to figure out how to get samsungs camera app to work in magisk mode.
So I decided to enter into safe mode which ultimately broke my magisk install. Same scenario as before, I can boot into non-magisk mode now but if I try and boot into magisk mode I cant get past lock screen. However while in safe mode and now non-magisk mode, the camera actually does work. So as it stands I can either have my phone rooted and not be able to use the camera or not have it rooted and be able to use the camera. If anyone has any suggested work arounds, please feel free to chime in. In the mean time I will start over again.
another update.
I reflashed stock firmware along with magisk. I now have root as well as a working camera, and yes the camera works in magisk mode and non-magisk mode. I am now looking to blame TWRP or multidisabler in breaking the camera. I know that having TWRP on a galaxy S10+ is fairly new to the market but I am surprised that I cannot find a single other report of someone elses camera not working after installing TWRP. I feel like I should keep trying things but I also have reflashed firmware, magisk, TWRP 3 times in the past 5 days and I just want a working phone with root. The only other ideas I had was to either give the camera root access or make the camera a system app. I dont see why I would/should need to do that though.
Moderator can you please change the title of this thread to "Camera not working after installing TWRP" please and thank you if it is possible.

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.
I am having issues installing the xposed framework. I have rooted with Magisk successfully and I'm on the ElementalX kernel. When I try to install the xposed framework via TWRP, when I reboot back into the OS, it gets stuck in a hello moto bootloop. I can boot into the OS without issue by clearing the dalvik cache and the normal cache after installation, but when I get into the Xposed installer app, it says it's installed but not running. There is no log, so I assume it is because the Xposed folder doesn't have permissions. I give it permissions and reboot by pressing restart in the power menu, but when I do that, it gets in the bootloop again.
I would appreciate any help on this.

I had this problem also, I would typically just long press the power button and let it complete a second normal boot, and then xposed would work after the second boot completed. (The second boot after initial bootloop would load up just fine.) However, after a few reboots, my phone became unstable and I had to reflash the stock ROM. I'm not sure how stable OREO xposed is on this device yet. It may have just been my modules. (GravityBox, Flat Color Keyboard, Bars, and Status Icons)

I also have a Moto G5 plus and when I tried to reboot it a second time it was still stuck in its boot loop so I had to enter TWRP to flash the uninstall and if I try to install Xposed via Magisk I have to factory reset, I don't think it's me ROM because it's the same as a stock ROM (had to install the ROM because the one it came with got corrupted or something when I tried to install Xposed where I still had the boot loop problem). I am running 8.1.0 Oreo.
I think a lot of my problem was i was using a sprint variant also. I think a lot of other users are using the verizon/t-mobile variants. I never really did get xposed to work properly on oreo on the sprint variant of this phone no matter what i tried.
Any news on this issue?
I just updated to 8.1 and would like to get xposed up and running like I had it on Nougat. Has there been any fixes yet to this. Thanks to anyone for a reply.
I get bootloop when I install magisk & xposed.
I am using Xposed since months
Working fine
One thing you is that we've to do soft reboot instead of regular reboot
Prior Info: Phone is rooted with magisk and bootloader is unlocked. Stock Pie Rom with pixelify Magisk Module and a couple of other modules installed.
Have been using AdAway for some time. Disabled it recently to watch some ads for games. Today switched it back on again. Clicked on Reboot after the prompt, and since then it is stuck in boot 'Android one' animation screen. It has been a few hours.
Is there any way i can get it working without loss of data? Tried booting into recovery (no TWRP, stock recovery only), there was no option to wipe cache, only factory reset.
Please help.
(ps. the phone memory was almost full, don't know if that info helps.)
Thank you all in advance.
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.
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
