It seems it is impossible to get root with magisk on latest Oreo stock. Maybe someone found solution?
I asked and I answer =)
To get the root it is required to
- install latest TWRP (current version twrp-3.2.1-0)
- reboot to TWRP
- install 16.2 or higher magisk, link for 16.2
- install f2fs bug workaround
- reboot system
- install magisk Manager
- enjoy your root =)

its not work for me:crying:
Try to follow this guide then: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/guide-how-to-magisk-root-xposed-oreo-8-t3743273
But use latest magisk beta instead of suggested 15.3.
And keep in mind that it is possible to easily restore working state with magisk uninstaller.
Do you have any errors during magisk or workaround installation in twrp console?

Remove root?
Is it possible to remove root and the TWRP without hard reset? Does anyone already have the original recovery of Oreo?

There is magisk uninstaller provided in official thread.
To remove twrp you just need to flush original recovery via fastboot
Hello guys, can I have some advice on whether I should install this latest Oreo update on my moto z, how is the battery doing on this update? And overall experience?
@dolar4ik
i reflash the stock oreo ROM,then flash TWRP,flash magisk,flash f2fs bug workaround, stuck at bootloader logo,how can i do it??
Flash the Magisk uninstaller, reboot to recovery (you have this option in TWRP) and flash again only the Magisk 16.3 (without the f2fs bug workaround). This worked for me two days ago.
Today I updated to the latest Magisk 16.4 without any problems.

This is right.
I re-flashed my phone using the OPL27.76-51 firmware. Now, no way to install Magisk (old, new, any version).
The solution, I restored a TWRP backup made at the first bootloader unlock (when the ROM was updated only using OTAs, not flashed). Immediately I was able to install Magisk 16.4 - without any F2FS workaround.
HERE is my TWRP backup containing the partitions: Boot, Data & System. Hope it helps!

Uninstall magisk with it's own uninstaller.
I installed Magisk on the full Oreo release and everything is working.
I did make a "less bloat, less bs" zip version but I doubt it would make a change.
If you guys want, I can upload it when I get home.

Just got myself a hand me down Moto z.
My friend who gave it to me hasn't touch the phone for a year.
So i started with 6.0 and after multiple updates, now i am on Oreo.
Since i have done ota from Marshmallow, would this method work?
Bootloader was never unlocked.
thanks for any input

Systemless Root & SafetyNet working [GUIDE][Magisk][StockROM-6.0.1][SkyMelon][TWRP]
Hi XDA friends,
After quite investigation I finally have found the way to have our devices Systemless Rooted.
The main advantage? SafetyNet working on our rooted device. That means Google does not notice our device is rooted ...yes, you can play Nintendo games or use Android Pay as well!
View attachment 4371569 View attachment 4371476
Here is the step by step guide:
You Must Have: Unlocked bootloader, ADB Fastboot drivers and Flashtool installed.
- Flash Stock Android 6.0.1 ROM with Flashtool (Wipes checked). I recommend 26.3.A.1.33 for the E2303 model. You can find Stock ROMs in this post.
- Flash TWRP from ADB: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (I tried with v3.0.2.0 and also the new v3.2.1-0 recently published here!)
- Flash custom kernel (SkyMelon 8.1 or 9 without-root) from TWRP. Download v8.1 from this post or v9 directly here: View attachment 9-20171210-no-root.zip. Wipe Dalvik/Cache after install it.
- Flash the latest version of Magisk with TWRP. Wipe Dalvik/Cache after install it. GitHub repo: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
- Install the latest version of Magisk Manager.apk. GitHub repo: https://github.com/topjohnwu/MagiskManager/releases
- [Optional] In order to avoid flashing errors with TWRP it is recommended to update directly through Magisk Manager. If you want to install previous versions of Magisk (between v14.6 and v15.2), could be neccesary to check the box "Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity" before "Direct Install" it.
Note: Magisk v16.4 and Magisk Manager v5.7.0 was the last version working tested by me. From this version I will discontinue testing new Magisk releases on this device. Feel free to post your experience with the new ones
- This method is compatible with E2303, E2306 (reported by @zputnyq) and E2333 (reported by @Yester_Ko) models.
- Compatibility with Apps2SD reported by @tim_pear
Please if this works for you, thanks are very welcome to my first post! Also ideas or improvements to the post are welcome.

thanks for sharing your experience , I have A question what about DRM fix , did restore you TA backup ?
Hi! Thanks for your guide. Can you share your safety net check screen on magisk? I try that kernel and some other kernels with different magisk versions, but I don't understand safety net checking status.
Hi othmane.os,
I cannot provide information about restoring the TA. My warranty expired some time ago and I don´t have a TA backup.
Thanks for comment.

I want to use your guide but I'm busy to do current configuration of my phone. I delete some files on my system partition for gaining storage (I copied some new versions of upgraded apps to system partition) This take my time but I haven't got enough.
I use skymelon 9 kernel, with supersu. I guess because of supersu changed system partition and safetynet fails. I dislike supersu app but skymelon 9 comes with it. So I built skymelon 9 myself without supersu, but I didn't flash stock rom before installing skymelon 9 without-root and magisk. Now on my phone Magisk15 and skymelon9(compiled by me) installed. Magisk's hide function hiding itself from google apps and choosen apps but safetynet check fails.
Can you or anybody try this guide with skymelon 9 without-root which built by me?

Hi osmank3,
I have tested the kernel that you built and it is working perfect. Thank you! This version has been added to the post and of course is menctioned your contribution.
I'm afraid you'll have to install a stock ROM...
BTW: I cannot get working Magisk v15. If I install it direclty from Magisk Manager the installation fails. If I install it through TWRP (and do wipes), the process is correct but when I check it, Magisk Manager not shows it as installed. So for the moment, it is only working for v14.5.

Hey, i downloaded Magisk v14.5 and tried to flash it with twrp but i got error "invalid zip file format" What should i do now or what did i do wrong?
Yay i got this work but little bit different way.
1. Flashed stock rom with flashtool. I downloaded my stock rom from XperiFirm.
2. Flashed TWRP with this guide.
3. Flashed Skymelon 8.1 with TWRP and wiped Dalvik/Cache after install.
4. Flashed Magisk v14.0 with TWRP from this post and wiped Dalvik/Cache after install.
When that was done i rebooted and Magisk and Magick manager was installed. They aren't latest versions so i updated them.
1. Downloaded latest Magisk manager from here and installed it.
2. From Magisk manager i checked "Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity" and installed it with choosing the recommended option "Direct Install"
Everything seems to working fine and i did this to my E2303 with 26.3.A.1.33
Great! Thanks for sharing :good:
Which is the difference between methods? I see that it also works for you by flashing Magisk v14.0.

This was only thing i made differently. I didn't find right magisk there what would work when flashing because i had problem with "invalid zip file format" so i downloaded that magisk zip file from another place.
This worked fine for me but I directly tried flashing/installing latest version (15.1) from TWRP and later after booting via adb the .apk of the Manager.
Didn't show the Magisk as installed.
With making a backup in TWRP of the boot (just renaming it to .img it has a different extension in the name) and then modifying it (as Manager tells you when you want to install) I could make it work (flashing the modified boot image with fastboot).
(Other steps like flashing the stock ROM and the recovery worked as usual. Also no problems with installing the kernel in TWRP.)
If you try to flash directly the last Magisk version (v15.1 in this case) I don´t know why yet but it doesn´t work. For that reason it is neccesary to first flash Magisk v14.5 (last version working with TWRP).
The way that you do it is also a very good one! Thanks for sharing @lordmd.

After magisk 14.6+ there is a problem about dm-verity. Magisk can't patch it, so we must preserve the original dm-verity. When you are applying magisk 14.6+ from twrp, you can't preserve and magisk can't patch it. The true way is using magisk manager and patch with preserve dm-verity.
Magisk 15.2 version notes says that problem solved but I try it, it is not solved yet.
My first applying procedure is:
First, patch skymelon 9 boot.img file with new magisk version also with preserve dm-verity on Magisk Manager,
Flash recovery and open with twrp
Apply skymelon 9 wipe dalvik and cache
Apply new magisk
Flash patched img
Let´s see if the next v15.3 beta finally works. Thanks @osmank3
BTW: Did you finally install the stock ROM or could you unroot your CFW for installing Magisk?

1) unlock it by xiaomi (360 hours waiting)
2) flash twrp
3) flash magisk
4) reboot
That is all I need to do to get a root ?)

Usually you don't even have to flash TWRP recovery if you want to keep original recovery, you can just boot it with "fastboot boot twrp.img".
Just a FYI, the latest magisk 17 has not been working for me. Magisk 16 works just fine.

Could you please explain where I find the mipad 4 boot image when using this method to patch it?
When choosing the option in magisk manager to patch boot image I have to search for the original boot image to patch as the app doesn't point staight to it...
Many thanks
@Tysovwik, I see you want keep miui. You have to block overwriting recovery by original one. I have seen option for it in twrp, but i have not tested it. The same you can have if you use special zip package.
Twrp has second option for auto install magisk 17.1, but i installed it from zip file (twrp labeled 20.12.2018 can have 18.0)
is this the best way to Root a Mi Pad 4 LTE ?

Some noobie questions.
I already have TWRP installed in my Mi pad 4, and want to keep my original MIUI rom
To install Magisk what should I do next?
Just flash magisk from twrp?
Do I need to flash no-verify-opt-encrypt.zip?
Select any option of wipe in twrp before flashing Magisk?
If I get a bootloop can I just use Magisk unistaller?

I would wipe cache /dalvik cache before and wipe cache again after flashing. But yeah, just flash the magisk zip. You check in the settings under security if your device is encrypted, which I'm guessing it probably is already. In which case there's no need to flash no verify encrypt zip. Unless you want to have no encryption. In which case you'll have to start all over, complete format in twrp then flash magisk and no encrypt zip before first boot.
If you want to stay encrypted (assuming you are already), just flash magisk. I haven't done it in a while! So not sure if magisk manager will be installed with zip flash, if it's not there when you boot to system, just download and install latest magisk manager. You can always then download a root checker app from playstore to be sure all went well.
Good luck dude
There will(hopefully) be a lot of otas coming to Poco F1 for bug fixing. So if we are rooted with Magisk we cannot install Otas directly as magisk modifies our stock boot image. And since poco doesn't have A/B partitions we cannot install OTA's and still keep Magisk. That brings us to Flashfire which can preserve root. Flashfire doesn't work on MIUI 9.6.14.0 (it doesn't work on mine) .So how do we install OTAs while preserving Magisk ? Is it possible or do we have to flash stock recovery and stock boot image and lose magisk ?
OTA update method according to topjohnwu:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md
Would be helpful if somebody can post a diy in the guide section on how to apply OTAs on Magisk rooted devices.
I would be very interested as well!!

Flash Magisk zip to restore old kernel backup.

Magisk makes a backup of ur boot.img, which you need to use OTAs, to restore it, you can flash Magisk again to restore it. (that's how it should work)

In my case flashing Magisk again did not work. From Magisk Manager -> Uninstall either since it was "unable to download".
For those who would be in the same case, I did following steps to update:
- Download latest Magisk uninstaller (currently 17.3, I tested with 17.1 & 17.2)
- Boot into TWRP (I use an app for convenience), go to Install > flash the Magisk uninstaller zip and (optional) boot to system to make sure root is gone (with Root Checker e.g.)
- Power off device and boot into Fastboot, flash stock boot.img (you can find it in the ROM folder you used to install your ROM), boot to System and install OTA update via the update manager, then reboot
- At this point I was stuck in fastboot screen, I simply booted with TWRP (with decryption working) and it took care of installing the update, I then flashed Magisk from there.

About that recovery, data partition will not get encrypted when you flash OTA update?

It will but I am ok with encryption. If you don't want then flash disable force encryption from twrp after flahsing the ota or flash magisk which will disable force encryption.

Hello. I was going through this guide --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/xiaomi-poco-f1-root-unlock-bootloader-t3852520
I've got a problem. I've unlocked bootloader and next I'm booting correctly to TWRP, but when I try to flash any zip of magisk manager I receive an error: "invalid zip file format". I'm using TWRP 3.2.3-0 from first post in guide - I was trying to use both 20181012 and 20181211 versions and no result - still the same error. What can I do? I'm using POCOPHONE F1 with MIUI Global 10.2.3.0

You have an old version of TWRP... You need to install a newer version - 3.2.3.2 - which you will find by doing a search for it here on XDA...
Just load img file on INTERNAL storage of phone, choose install>install image file> and click on recovery partition. After install go to home menu and restart recovery...
If you still have issues then download magisk again, it may be corrupt...
Cheers....

First of all, I'm not going to install TWRP - I want only to boot into TWRP once for flashing Magisk's ZIP.
Second - in this guide OP says that Unofficial TWRP should be used. I've tried v1 and v2 TWRP from the guide. So which other TWRP should I try to boot into? This? https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-x-t3836241

I am new on this forum (pocophone) and i seee how messed up it is. You should definitly use official twrp
You don't need official TWRP, but I think you need to install Disable Force Encryption, before installing the Magisk app
This thread will be more helpful.

what are you trying to flash? If it is Magisk Manager, it is in apk format and you just click it to install. No TWRP.
If it is Magisk, which version are you trying to flash? Try 18.1. And preferably download any file from its source.
EDIT: If Magisk v18.1 is also not flashing, try Magisk Canary version. Some phones need that.

I'm trying to flash zip with Magisk Manager, as it is said in guide. I know that I can have an apk, but is it enough to just install apk without having custom recovery (but having bootloader unlocked)?

I will try it if nothing from "my" guide will work, because I really don't want to lose my storage (I see that in this guide installing Magisk needs it)

Well Here is how i managed it to work. After i unlocked my bootloader i launched twrp and flashed beta magisk 19.0 (not latest anymore because 19.1 just today showed up) then i reminded that i forgot about DisableForceEncryption_Treble_v18.0.zip so i flashed iit and after it flashed again magisk 19.0, after reboot it everything was fine

There is no need to flash DFE. I've unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP, flashed PE and Magisk 19.0 all without DFE which I don't need.
@OP, you need TWRP version 3.2.3-2 at a minimum, which you can boot using 'fastboot boot twrp-<version>.img' . Then flash Magisk. You'll
need at least version 18.1.

Thanks for the correction. I really don't know where I got flashboot from.

So, to make it clear (and to not brick my poco... ):
1. I should use TWRP image from this link --> https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomipocophonef1.html...
2. ...and I don't need to replace my recovery - just booting it once (as You described) is enough.
3. I should flash Magisk's ZIP, not MagiskManager's ZIP or Magisk.apk
4. No more flashing, clearing data and other operations needed.
Am I right?
1 - Yes.
2 - That's down to you. I have TWRP recovery installed and I have the app as well.
3 - You need to flash Magisk and install the apk. See this link for instructions on installing Magisk.
4 - Yes, you need to clear data, wipe dalvik and cache when installing a new ROM. If updating a current rom, I just wipe dalvik & cache.
HTH
Hey I know its not a thread related but if u install magisk can u tell me if you have 60fps screen recoding option? Because I already Dirty flashed rom once and nothing changed still cant unlock it :/

Yes, I do. I've not tried it though...
So the October patch just came out, but my phone's rooted (magisk, no twrp), so I can't install the update. If anyone could provide a guide on how to update and re-root the phone again, that would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

No need to unroot. If u can get the boot.img u can use magisk to root it and instal.
i use magisk tutorial for updating. and there is a magisk modul for reinstalling twrp. you have to use it before installing magisk on inactive slot.
i suggest you to wait a few days before updating. i update to October and install magisk and twrp but wifi and hotspot are broken. and twrp won't work correctly. not shore if it's because twrp or October ota
It was my fault that break wifi and hotspot. magisk tutorial should do the work. just backup before doing anything

I decided to completely reset my phone and it's now better than ever
From twrp thread
If you want you can also update a stock rom from phone settings with local upgrade:
- Update the Rom WITHOUT REBOOT;
- Open Magisk Manager;
- Menu/modules/+ button/select the twrp installer.zip and flash it;
- Always in Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Direct Install;
- Again in Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Inactive Slot;
- Reboot.
