Updated OP since this thread became useful to track if magisk works with our stock ROM.
The most recent version you can use at the moment is magisk 16.7 and magisk manager 5.8.3.
I suggest that you change the update channel to custom and set the address to 127.0.0.1
For the most recent Magisk version:

I don't have any problems on Magisk 17.0 - safetynetpass on AEX(O), NitrogenOS(P) and PE(P) :cyclops:
Open Manager and update. Download latest stable one and flash it. Reboot.

mine bootlooped on stock. I'm naive enough to wait for the big update also, I got it from the beta channel. I'll try the stable and see what happens. I was assuming it's the same build
update: it bootloops on stock no matter what channel (stable/beta) you get it from.
I'll try to get a mod to help me change the OP title, I can't seem to be able to do it myself.

I am on LOS 14.1, saw the update notification, did update, and now also a bootloop...
I installed the zip of an earlier version to no avail.

use the uninstaller zip first
Try 17.1. supposedly solves the bootloops.
bootloops are easily fixed by using the uninstaller first.

Too late for me. I was on last years' Darkrom (LOS14.1 based, really stable, so no recent backup) and immediately got a bootloop which I'm still working to recover from... :crying:

Did you use the magisk uninstaller? If not, just reflash your bootloader

Excuse my ignorance but how would reflashing the bootloader help. Doesn't Magisk modify the boot image?
I figure that if flashing the uninstaller and then flashing v17.1 still results in a bootloop I (personally speaking) would go into TWRP and manually remove any Magisk related directories/files, maybe flash the uninstaller again (might catch something I missed), and then dirty flash Dark ROM (fresh boot image). Flash Magisk 17.x afterward.
That said, I am a non-Magisk kind of guy (not present on any ROMs or devices) so I might not know what I'm talking about. [emoji16]
Dark ROM. FTW. [emoji41]

Care to clue me in on those directories/files? I'm having a hard time here, dirty flashing my previous ROM, getting up to setup and then have something fail catastrophically over and over again...
I have even had to restore recovery through fastboot mode now. :silly:
I did not flash Magisk 17.x on Stock B35 (stayed with v16.4), but installing the latest Magisk Manager (v5.9.1) resolved the previous SafetyNet Check errors
Using stock anything above and v17.0 will bootloop using stock,
Just my 2cents, if that your issue just do the following:
-Download v16.7 first in case you don't have it yet, and move it to the SDCard.
* Head back to TWRP
* Flash v16.7 or your preferred release.
* You're good to go.

Not sure to be honest. Last time I had Magisk was around v15.x. When I initially rooted my Moto Magisk was part of the process. Even though the stock ROM is using SuperSU it seems I didn't fully remove Magisk. I have the following remnants visible in TWRP...
/data/magisk
/data/magisk.img
and files in /data/adb/
Not sure why everything is failing so badly on your end. I can't test things on my Axon 7 since I use DualBoot Patcher where Magisk is a no go.
Moto G5S Plus XT1806, MSM-Xtended v2.5 ROM, MultiROM, XDA Legacy
So I have managed to fully restore the phone, including updating Magisk to v17.1 (v16.0 didn't work at all, v14 did).
Apart from Goggle Messages that is, which FC whenever I try to start it (both current and past versions).
I was careful with Magisk in the past, I will be even more so in the future. No dot zero releases for me from now on. Thanks for your tips, people.

Hi all,
Just want to help a bit with the CM12S. Flash the attached zip if you want root in apps and ADB.
I grabbed a debuggable boot.img from the official CM servers here:
Code:
http://builds.cyngn.com/cyanogen-os/bacon/12.0-YNG1TAS0YL-bacon/2263178b74/cm-12.0-YNG1TAS0YL-bacon-boot-debuggable.img
EDIT: New OTA [YNG1TAS17L]:
Code:
http://builds.cyngn.com/cyanogen-os/bacon/12.0-YNG1TAS17L-bacon/e816218e8a/cm-12.0-YNG1TAS17L-bacon-boot-debuggable.img
Then, I simply put them in a flashable zip format together with su binary from the latest CM12 nightly. I have tested it on my own phone and so far, there is no issue.
I have only tested it using TWRP, flash on your own risk.
Credits to @julian_klode:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/flashable-zip-enable-integrated-superuser.75511/
Note: I initially wasn't aware about the source of the base zip file that I used to pack the necessary files until julian_klode mentioned it in the Q&A thread.
There is no difference between this one and his, just the fact that I update mine manually. So, I think you should follow his thread instead.
Or just flash the SuperSu zip via recovery.

Thank you so much. Puzzle and Dragons doesn't like Supersu, but works perfect with CM's superuser.

I have never tried SuperSU in my OPO Lollipop since I found out about the built-in root support, so I can't say what's wrong with it. Bootloops may be caused by stuck up boot process, which may be caused by kernel.
If I'm not wrong, I remember last time when Lollipop launched that SuperSU need to patch the kernel in a certain way for it to run properly. My solution also works with a different kernel, albeit it is provided officially by Cyanogen.
If you really want SuperSU for some reason, you can try flashing SuperSU and then flash the boot.img from the link above (or extract it from my zip). Latest TWRP will do it just fine.

SuperSU plus CM root don't play well together. Take a look through Caulk's stock 5.0.2 thread and you'll see several people having problems - manifested by flashing SuperSU and then trying to open Developer Options. It FCs. Just use the built-in CM root or disable CM root before you flash SuperSU.
All good here! I went into the Supersu settings and did a FULL UNINSTALL OF ROOT. Once that was done, I went into TWRP and flashed CM zip provided by OP... Bam. Done and no problems. Thank you, OP!

I perhaps wasn't very clear about my above suggestion.
What I meant is that, there is an official insecure boot.img (the kernel) which I linked above and included in my zip package. I'm not telling him to install both SuperSU and the built-in root.
SuperSU has some features that is not present in the built-in root though, like logging or tapjacking protection. Privacy Guard is pretty nifty, but I still miss the old interface of SuperSU.

I think it's the issue with Franco's own kernel... Even the nightly CM12 users with the built-in root enabled also had the root access disabled.
SuperSU works in this case because it relies on an init.d su-enabling service.
Just wait for Franco to fix it, since the CM11S versions works well with the built-in root. I am also a FK paid user, so this is a bad situation for me as well...

I uploaded it here sorry it's not a better host but I'm on my phone ATM lol. http://uploadmirrors.com/download/R8ADOYOG/icial-12.0-signed-YNG1TAS17L-bacon-superuser.zip All I did was get the ota URL from here and changed the ending to cm-12.0-YNG1TAS17L-bacon-boot-debuggable.img I guess the system automatically makes the debug images when the ota rolls out. So I imagine the same thing would work for next ota. You just rename it to boot.img and replace the one in the zip from this thread and rename the zip and flash.

I belive the link is allowed. A Forum mod said so on NFounds AEX thread.
I didn't snatch anything. I used guides that exist because they work and I gave props to every single person I could think of. I never claimed this was all my work. Just trying to help other people who want to try the ROM or are interested in how it performs.
I think the rom has something to do with CTS because it's a beta rom. It might not CTS approved. That's why magisk won't work. Similar to Android P DP.
https://developer.android.com/preview/release-notes
However, We can try to change or add ro.build.fingerprint in the build.prop file to the valid one. Not sure that it will work or not.
For example.
Code:
ro.build.fingerprint=ZTE/P996A04_N/ailsa_ii:7.0/NRD90M/20170215.164309:user/release-keys

Accubattery says 5 hours SOT but I have only actually gotten 2. Again, this is probably a problem on my side and not the ROM. I need to check over the installed apps. Overall, actually better than 7.1.1 Nougat IMO since I was getting those bad results there too (Shouldn't have restored all the apps on first start).
Soundwise you shouldn't need anything. It's an official ROM and everything works properly. I haven't tested with any mods and I personally won't.

Battery doesn't sound too good. And personally I won't try it out until someone checked if substratum works. Cause if substratum works, I am able to enjoy the 'swift Black's theme, which boosts battery life by having real black everywhere. That means that the amoled screen will use less power. Also it's beautiful af and I don't want to miss it
Two questions please:
1. would flashing no-verity-opt-encrypt do anything for this ROM? as in, making encryption optional?
2. would it be a good idea to flash FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL_N if I want to change my recovery now that I am no longer on N?

Battery is absolutely horrible, coming from a beta tester. If you experience terrible battery it isn't a problem on your side, it's the beta rom. At best, I get barely 3 hours of screen on time only browsing Facebook

No issues installing my wife's P3 with flash-all (minus -w), rooted with Magisk 19.1 and TWRP 3.3.0-0 fully installed using Advanced > Install Recovery Ramdisk method.

Could you give me some more details on what you did to install Magisk? For the first time with my P3 I cannot get anything to work. I flashed the May update minus -w, but every method of installing Magisk 19.1 that I've tried ends up with a bootloop.

1) flash-all (minus -w). Phone reboots to system automatically.
2) shut down and boot to BL
3) fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-blueline.img (be sure to have a copy of the .img file on your phone)
4) install twrp using Advanced > Install Recovery Ramdisk > twrp-3.3.0-0-blueline.img
5) boot to system
6) shut down and boot to BL>recovery (TWRP loads)
7) install Magisk-v19.1 (I did already have 19.1 installed on this phone via Magisk Manager update/Magisk update from before the May image came out in case it matters, so if necessary install 18.1 and then update to 19.1 with Magisk Manager)
8) reboot to system
9) confirm root and install kernel (for me that was ElementalX automated install using EX Kernel Manager app but installing the kernel by going back to TWRP and flashing should do the same)
The two things I might be doing different than others are not using ADB to get back to BL or recovery (I always use the key combo) and booting to system before next step (I don't stack my TWRP/Magisk/kernel installs). Hope this helps.
Whew! Back in business. Thanks!

Well, I don't really know. I initially did what I always do: extract the new boot.img from the update, patch it with MM, run flash-all without -w, let the update finish, reboot and flash the patched boot to boot_a and boot_b. That bootlooped. I flashed stock boot.img and ran like that for a day. Next I booted (but didn't install) TWRP, and tried to install 19.1 (bootloop), and 18.1 (wouldn't install). I decided to try to downgrade to the April update and did flash-all from there (without -w). Big mistake, because then it stuck on the G screen and wouldn't boot at all. I ultimately was able to flash back to the May update, get it to boot, then followed your directions. I did have to install 18.1 first, because even after following your directions, 19.1 still bootlooped when installed from TWRP. MM was able to update to it fine, though, from 18.1. Who knows what the problem really was.

I'd just be spit balling at this point like you are, but at least you are up and running. I do think there is possibly something going on with Magisk going from 18.1 to 19.1 without Manager doing the back end work (even if it happened previously) since Magisk still does retain some data even if root is lost during the upgrade. There are certainly some changes that occured between 18.1 and 19.0 beta since coming from 18.1 you would need to redo your Magisk hide check marks. Either that or using MM to patch boot may have completely changed.

I probably just had something in some weird state, because I ran 18.1, 19.something beta, 19.something canary, then back to 19.1 stable when it came out. I forgot, I also ran the uninstaller at some point in my previous attempts.
I have a PIXEL 3 (Bought directly from Google) and AT&T is my carrier in Central VA. Been trying for a couple of days to get the May update, but nothing avail. Something I should be concerned about?
Same question

I was coming to ask the same question, only I am in WA and have T-mobile. Stock, not rooted. Not had an issue before.
Same here. New P3 during April, so awaiting first security update for my new device. Carrier is AT&T, but why would that matter, right? Just seems strange having to wait. I got the impression that monthly updates for Pixels would come out the same day they were announced as being available. Live and learn I guess.
Finally popped this evening (5/16/2019). No clue why the delay.

I have a Pixel 3 on Google Fi and still haven't gotten the update. Contacted support yesterday and they couldn't find anything wrong. They "promised" I'd get it. Always gotten them within a day or two before.
I guess I just never looked into this before since I'm a new Pixel user or I'm just naive but I assumed when I got a Pixel phones updates would not have to be pushed through my carrier anymore? No May update here on my stock Pixel 3 on T-Mobile.
Always get OTA on the day of release, stock phone, T-Mobile, the Netherlands.
(Pixel didn't launch in the Netherlands, I got it from Germany)
Just installed the may update OTA.
Anyone else having issues with apps accessing the gallery. Both WhatsApp and stock messenger now taking ages to display the thumbnails of the images and videos in my gallery when I add them to a message.
ok could I get some hints here on how to update?
I have rooted and I have magisk.
So, I've got LOS 16 - BUILD #20190826 installed, I'm using TWRP for recovery, and SU for root. But I really don't like running a phone without XPrivacy. With Xposed not being updated for Pie, and EdXposed requiring Magisk, I feel I need to use it.
The problem is, when I've tried flashing Magisk, I end up in a bootloop, and have to start over. Maybe I'm not using the correct version of Magisk? Is anyone getting this to work? What exactly are you using?
Thanks!

You need to format data after flashing anything. At least that's what happened to me. I'm currently using GSI havoc 2.9 built number 20190910 and the latest magisk from official website

Thanks, I'll try that and update this later when I get a chance (work is really killing me right now)!
As usual, this WILL void your warranty and I am NOT responsible for anything you do with this. Installing it properly won't brick your Fire TV, but doing stupid things with it might.
First, you must be unlocked. You can follow the instructions here for making that happen.
If you are first starting, you should first unlock, then install this ROM, and THEN install Magisk for root or any other addons. This rom uses addon.d to preserve Magisk and any other addons, but any system modifications like Magisk, gapps, etc, that you have installed prior to this ROM will NOT be preserved.
If you've already unlocked and installed Magisk, then after installing this ROM you need to reinstall Magisk in TWRP.
Starting with 6.2.6.6, Magisk is always installed.
Beyond that, Magisk and any other addons will be preserved as you flash newer roms. Consequently, if you would like to remove root, you will need to wipe /system in TWRP prior to installing this ROM. That will prevent it from being restored when installing the ROM.
Thanks to @k4y0z and @xyz` for the unlock.
NEVER FLASH A STOCK ROM >= 6.2.8.0 AFTER FLASHING 6.2.8.1_r2 OR LATER! THIS WILL BLOW AN EFUSE.

@rbox,
Quick question,
Initial unlocking and rooting was successful. However, I did what I usually do which is update Magisk using the manager and after the reboot, it is looping @ the amazon image. Any idea?

Yes .... I know ... called selective reading .... I got into TWRP and will try your image now ...
Happy to see the pre-rooted roms from you on mantis! It's starting to feel like the good old days again
Thank you, I feel safer already.
Any idea what version of gapps would work on this? Also, any idea if installing nanodroid, patched playstore & patching the ROM for signature spoofing be dangerous (as in bugger up the BL/TWRP)?
Awesome. This community is great.
Does this work for european (Italian) Sticks? (Prime video, Alexa etc etc).

Hi,
I successfully installed the hacked bootloader and TWRP a few days ago, but I did not do anything else. I was still on the original 6.2.5.8 version.
Today I wanted to flash the prerooted 6.2.6.5 and I can't manage to boot it (and since I did not expect problems, I did not make a backup of the old system). I cannot go past the "firetv" boot logo and in this stage "adb logcat" is not yet working, so I don't see any logs.
First boot was just installing the ROM. Second boot with previously wiping Cache / Dalvik. Finally I wiped also data (and Cache/Dalvik again). I cannot get past the boot logo.
So what can I do? Was there a firmware update between 6.2.5.8 and 6.2.6.5, which I need and is not included in the prerooted image? I'm just guessing since I cannot explain anything else...
Thanks Tim

Have you compared the md5 of the download (push the md5file + ROM and let TWRP check this during install)?

Yes, I have checked MD5 on my notebook after download, but not after pushing the file to the stick. I will do that now and post it here (with edit). But I doubt this being the issue.
EDIT: MD5 of the zip in the stick is also ok.

Ok. The prerooted Rom should be a full stock update, rbox said that a few days ago.
Any hardware damages or missing parts on your stick?

The hardware is fully ok. The installation of hacked BL worked very smoothly and the stick did work with the original firmware until I flashed the prerooted one today. I have two guesses, but I don't know how to proceed:
1. I know there are sometimes firmware updates on specific fire OS versions, which need to be installed for later versions (for example version 5.2.6.7 on fireTV 2 [sloane]). So if I need a firmware update for 6.2.6.5 (from 6.2.5.8) I should probably flash 6.2.5.8 back and let the fire OS do the first update.
2. Or there is something left from the old version (in one of the partitions) which prevents this version from booting. This would mean that you need to be already on 6.2.6.5 (or at least on a higher version than me), that this ROM works.
In both cases, I would probably recover when getting the original firmware version 6.2.5.8 from somewhere.
EDIT: As I said in the first post, I did not do anything with the original ROM, except flashing the hacked BL and TWRP, no Magisk or whatever.
Best

OK :good:
Have you installed the magisk.zip behind the rom? May be it won't start without that? You may try that...
May be that dm-verity and/or SELinux enforcing is a problem without magisk, as magisk take care of that automatically...
No mouse Emulator support in TWRP with the 4K stick?
How do you install the rom if you don't have USB OTG cable?

Yes, that's it. Magisk needs to be installed after the "prerooted" image! Now the stick boots up!
Amazing, thank's!
I thought a prerooted image is prerooted.
@rbox: It would be nice, if you could mention this in the first post.

for example with ADB / TWRP Commands, something like that...
Code:

adb reboot recovery
adb shell
twrp install /sdcard/mantis-6.2.6.5-rooted_r1.zip
twrp install /sdcard/Magisk-v19.3.zip

twrp wipe dalvik

That's what I mean. It's not mentioned that you need Magisk in any case (to boot the image as such *and* probably also to get root [which is not prerooted then?]).

I reply to myself and happy to confirm I installed this "generic" image to my US Stick 4K and after I accept terms of use *Italian* Alexa and Prime video seem to wotk fine.
If I remember well my previous image was the 6.2.5.8 (basically the one I installed when the exploit for Fire TV Stick 2 (Tank) was released but can't be 100% sure.
Now I have to try it on my *Italian* Stick 4k (bought on amazon.it).
Amazing and thanks a lot again.
Puppinoo.
So great to see @rbox 'es prerooted roms for the Fire TV Stick 4k
There are some things that I am not familiar with:
1. What is magisk for and what if I don't install it?
2. Does root not work without magisk?
On the older Fire TV Devices we did never have to install magisk or so and it was prerooted with rboxes roms and root was working. Why is everybody talking about magisk? Can magisk break anything or be critical like xposed was on the Fire TV 2 box? I remember that xposed framework was a pretty messy issue for recent Fire TV 2 (Sloane) pre-rooted roms. Magisk seems to go deeply into the system, similar to xposed framework, isn't it?
