So, I've been "out of the scene" for 2 years +some months and I can't find clear answers to how I should do to get what I need. I need your help...
What I want to obtain: I want to have my LG G5 (H850) updated to the last firmware version (it should have andrioid 7, right?), rooted, and with Magisk installed. Xposed too, if it's possible in android 7. It is, right?
What I have right now: a rooted phone at FW version V10d-EUR-XX with Xposed installed (bootloader unlocked with the official method), android 6.0.1.
I don't know where to start from, since I can't find specific guides that tell me what to do, I have to ask here...
For example, do I have to reset the phone and install everything from scratch? Should I un-root the phone and install the firmware updates in the official way, or can I do it with some tool without un-rooting? Can I keep my installed apps & data? I don't know...
Thanks for any help... sorry if I'm demanding a lot, but I've always found it pretty hard to find definitive guides (or just definitive answers) in the android scene.
Well the first part is easy, use lg bridge to get the latest firmware..I'm doing it as I type..then I need to install adb and fastboot to install twrp and magical..
Latest firmware is 20x
Thanks for the reply.
So, if I already have TWRP, I can update the firmware with lg bridge and then I can simply install magisk? I thought I had read that if my phone is already rooted magisk can't hide the root, or something.
The firmware flash will take the phone back to stock..root gone..twrp gone..so install twrp through CMD window is needed..just make sure you have the magisk files on a SD card
Back to stock means, completely? All my apps and data gone? If yes, is there some tool to restore them easily after the firmware update?
And when I install magisk, if I need root do I simply have to install magisk's "root module"?
LG bridge shouldn't delete user data..I thought it did..but after doing it, it didn't..it just upgrades the firmware
Thanks. What about Xposed? Will it remain or will I have to install it again? And, since it requires root, does it mean that I have to enable root with magisk to use the Xposed modules otherwise they don't work? Like, that when I disable root they stop working?
Never used closed so I don't know..if lg bridge leaves user data alone it may leave root alone but then again it may flash stock boot image..so not sure really..
I don't mind reinstall lots of apps again as long as my pics are backed up.so I would reset phone...flash firmware..then twrp..then magisk..
Ok then, but I don't know which firmware I have to use.
For example, the latest in the list (here, ordered by date, descending) is "H85020t_00_TMO_COM_OP_0514.kdz" but it says "TPL - Europe - PL/Poland". My phone isn't from Poland, it's from Italy, and there's no firmware with that same date for Italy. Should I just use the newest one saying "Italy"? I dunno...
I also saw that, for the same country, there can be different updates for different providers, but I'm pretty sure my phone had none (it was "unbranded"). So which one should I choose?
LG bridge will automatically download the latest one for you..use error recovery
Oh, that's great.

There's update zips available in the development section. You just flash the COMPLETE version of one of those in TWRP and you're done.

Is it any better than using LG Bridge?
And would I need to make a Nandroid backup just in case, if I wanted to flash those zips, or is it safe? 'Cause I'm having trouble with that, as I wrote in the other thread...
Thanks
Ok I'm done, I updated the firmware with LG Bridge and installed Magisk & Xposed (through Magisk). Xposed isn't activating itself but that's another problem.
You might need to update again soon if Oreo comes out

Yeah I know, but at least now I know how to do the whole procedure almost painlessly.
Hello !
I want to apologize for my English from Google translation because I'm French ... Hope you understand ?
Yesterday I rooted my phone which is a Huawei P8 Lite Android 6.0 with Magisk.
So far so good.
I wanted Xposed installed so I started by installing Xposed Installer and then in Magisk I installed Xposed framework [SDK23] but restarting my phone I was stuck with the huawei logo ... ?
If anyone will have a solution I am a taker!
Thank you !

I don't know your phone, but I can tell you that on mine I had to do the following:
1) Install the Xposed Installer.
2) Reboot.
3) Install correct SDK in Magisk.
4) Reboot.
5) Wait about 20 minutes for it to boot up.
It took that long on Step 4. But only once. After that, it booted up normally.
I recommend that you first install an app called "LiveBoot" (Grant it Root). It will replace your bootup logo with lines of text that are the commands that your phone normally processes when it boots up.
The advantage here, is that unlikr the logo, with LiveBoot you can see that the phone has not frozen (it may pause for 30 seconds now and then), as long as it's still processing commands.
You can uninstall LiveBoot after you're done, or leave it on.
I was being serious. The first time, it took my phone 20 to 30 minutes to boot. After that, it booted up as fast as it always did.
Good Luck!

netyx62,
It may just need another reboot. But first go into Magisk, look at the SDK Module and make sure the little box is checked.
Then go into the Xposed Installer app and go into the "Framework" section.
Is the switch on?
What color is the rectangle below the switch?
Also, important… Did you use the "Xposed Installer for Magisk"?
There is a different installer for when you have Magisk. It'll say "for Magisk".
*** If you did NOT use the right installer, then you'll need to get the right one and then follow the steps below.
First Google and Download;
"Xposed Installer for Magisk"
I think it's also v3.1.5 for Magisk too.
Then go into Magisk >> Modules and tap the little garbage can for the Framework Module, which will make it uninstall on the next reboot.
But before rebooting, Uninstall the Xposed Installer app.
Now Reboot.
Now start over, using the correct Xposed Installer for Magisk, by doing the steps I outlined in my previous post and remember that once it's all installed, the first boot will take forever!

I used "XposedInstaller_3.1.5-Magisk.apk"
Yes everything is checked in Magisk or Xposed and then the rectangle is yellow with a danger sign

Okay, assuming the switch is on in Xposed, try another reboot. That's what I'd do first.
P.S. You said that you installed the Framework from inside the Magisk app, right? Are you positive you have the right one installed? Which version of Android are you running!

I'm trying to think of what your problem might be.
Let me ask you, which SDK version ended up being installed? I think it's supposed to be SDK23 for Marshmallow. I do know that there's a 32 bit and a 64 bit version and you need to have the right one for your phone (the phone is either 32 or 64).
In the Magisk Modules, what version SDK does it say is installed?
In Xposed >> Framework, near the bottom, does it say which (32 or 64) the installed framework is? Or does it not show a framework there?

In Magisk it's SDK23. Then my phone is a 64 bit

Okay, the only other thing I can think of off the top of my head is the order in which the components are installed. It can be different. On my last phone I had to install the Magisk Framework Mod first and then the Xposed Installer. On my current phone, it's in the order that we did it on yours.
So here's what I'm going to suggest…..
I suggest that you uninstall both the Magisk SDK and the Xposed Installer and we start from scratch using a different method.
Are you game?

Welcome.
What can I say.. My phone: LG G5 H850 International, Android 8.0 Oreo. I'm doing everything like it's written in tutorial. Bootloader is unlocked, I have no problems with flash recovery via fastboot. **** happens when I try to root my device with SuperSU. Process of install is going like it supposed but after reboot I don't see supersu app and when I verify root status - it says it's not rooted. I tried again and again and again for about sixteen times and after last try I saw one failure command line: patching sepolicy failure aborting. I rooted and mod couple of devices and never had something like this. I hope someone will help me because without root - phone is trash with many sick problems like afterimages on screen, no manual video mode and not good quality of photos etc. Greetings from Poland.
EDIT: Maybe I should try Magisk in this case?
Thread should be closed because yesterday I rooted my LG with Magisk without any problems. Recovery is working, root too.
Yeah!

Okay, what was your solution?
I've found a few ways to root the OnePlus 7T Pro in the XDA forum and and wondering which method to go for. I got the phone today and haven't switched it on yet, so am expecting an OTA to be available to download, although I'll unlock the device first.
There's this by @mlgmxyysd which seems to be the newest way:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/7t-pro/how-to/magisk-auto-install-tool-magisk-t4001471
There's this by @HolyChickenGuy, which is older but it seems that you can definitely update Magisk and Magisk Manager this way:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/7t...-3-patched-boot-image-oneplus-7t-pro-t3986351
Only thing I'm not clear about with it is if I can OTA with it first or not but I can probably work that out depending on what software version mine is on, given the post says 10.0.3.
There's this by @ktp1976 which seems like @HolyChickenGuy 's guide but with further steps so possibly is redundant for me:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80591215&postcount=28
Finally this seems the easiest, by @ManikandanGuru, it's for the OnePlus 6 but I would think the principle is the same:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/patched-boot-image-magisk-16-7-beta-t3818853
I.e.,
Even easier way to root without TWRP:
1. Install OTA update (Don't reboot).
2. Open Magisk Manager, install Magisk and choose "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)" (Now reboot).
3. Now you are rooted without TWRP and without any boot img hassles as well.

Does anyone have any recommendations or advice please? Thank you. Once have root I'll heed the tutorial about preserving root when OTA'ing the phone, sorry I can't link to it because I'm a new member.
Doesn't matter, they all are the same and does the same thing, patching the boot image. (Except for the first one which does other things too)
The first one is for Xposed, if that's something you're not interested to when the holychicken guide.
The other one just explains how to obtain and create your own one, one you've done that you still need to to the steps holychicken guide.

Hello everyone,
I've bought Nord 2 5G EU at launch and wanted to root it but despite there being a ton of articles about it where was no boot.img to patch by Magisk so i let it go.
I finally decided to do it now but reading about all that vbmeta, no wi-fi and bluetooth problems, bricked phones etc makes me frustrated before I even begin anything.
Is there any comprehensive guide how to do it?
When I got the phone I managed to do some steps so as of now i have:
-Unlocked bootloader
-Magisk App v24.1
-OxygenOS DN2103_11_A.16
-no TWRP
What is my best course of acton to gain root?
I rooted all of my phones so far and have never been such confused like I am now.
There always were great threads on XDA with step by step instructions for rooting different phones, what happend?

I agree with everything you wrote here
If you have unlocked bootloader, flash TWRP and install magisk.
But atlest stock room doesnt like magisk at all. I had multiple random bootloops and only solution was to format data in TWRP. Yesterday I restarted devices and got random bootloop again.
I have 2103 as well and I tried 23, canary and now 24.1 and still got bootloop randomly. More people got problems too.
Can't say I recommend root device for daily driver. Thats why now I am trying AcicientOS with magisk 24.1
